Now they're saying that what triggered him was that his girlfriend recently dumped him. Wow! A woman doesn't wanna be with a crazy guy. Imagine that!

I just saw where the Coast Guard has joined the search. The shooter does have a boat registered in his name.

They haven't found him by now, my guess is that all they'll find is his body. Dead by his own hand. There was one report that said his car was found at a boat dock. They may not even find his body.

Oh great! A nut job who knows how to shoot. Get ready folks. The antis are already getting ready to strike.

Works as part of the selling experience too. Seriously, if you should happen to get into my end of the state, we should talk.

Once again, at the other end of the state.

If you want a 9mm, get the best. A Hi-Power or one of its many clones.

I keep seeing where all the famous actors of my youth keep dying off. Damn I feel old.

I held a CDL for close to 40 years. Those have to be renewed in person. So I'm used to the hours and hours wait thing. That's why this sounded so good to me. I let my CDL slide after I retired. Just an ordinary driver now. And since I have the little star now, next time I can renew on line. The whole Real ID thing is BS anyway. Just another hoop we citizens have to jump through.

That is the new Real ID driver's license. We're all gonna have to do it sooner or later. My Drivers license doesn't actually expire until 2027. I was gonna wait until then and I was really dreading it too. But you've got to have one by 2025 or you can'y fly anywhere. Not that I plan on flying anywhere anyway. But as I said, we're all gonna have to do it eventually. But an opportunity came my way that I just couldn't pass up. It seems that the State and my city made some kind of deal where the Dept of Safety came to us to issue the new licenses to any city employees who want it. The bonus was that they set up in the Municipal Center that's only 5 minutes from my house. Me, being a retired city employee, qualified for it. They're only gonna be here for two days and It was by appointment only. So I made one for today. Happy to report that I was in and out in about 20 minutes. Sure beats sitting in the renewal office for half a day or more.

Dating after 60 is even worse.

Its not a Jovino or a Behlert. Both of those cut the barrel a bit shorter and had to eliminate the front locking bolt on the Ejector Rod. Opting for a detent ball in the crane instead. However during the 80's this was a popular configuration and many smaller gunsmiths did their own versions. This one looks like a good job. I'm thinking that mark that looks to be a "Y" inside a triangle may well be a maker's mark. But I have no idea who's. Anyway, its a nice gun. GLWS.

I call people like that alligators. All mouth and no ears.

Me too!

I'm in! But this has been tried before and never pans out. Maybe this time?

Suspenders.

We have an interesting month this year. Today is Friday the 13th. Tomorrow, the 14th, has a solar eclipse. The 28th has a lunar eclipse and of course we have Halloween which is also a full moon. Ya think fate is trying to tell us something?

I wouldn't worry about it. Those powder plants have a ton of the latest fire suppression systems available. I doubt they'll be down for more than a day or two. Some years back there was a fire at a Hercules powder plant. The fire was out in 30 minutes. Meanwhile, a warehouse full of spray cans went to 5 Alarms and burned for 3 days.

Reruns of Superman was a Saturday morning regular when I was a kid. I think I saw every episode.

Black Lives Matter has come out in support of Hamas. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/10/10/black-lives-matter-organization-shows-support-for-hamas-amid-terror-attack-on-israel/ Well Hell, I guess there is no keeping our own problems out of this.

Again, a valid point. But a subject for a different discussion.

I won't argue with you on that point.

Respectfully, there are many issues with our southern border. But this thread is about Israel and the sudden war thrust upon them. Our border is a topic for another discussion. Maybe if the Politics forum comes back, we can discuss it there.

I've got some 6.5 and 7.7 Jap reloads that I inherited and have no use for. If anybody wants 'em, just send me a PM.
