As soon as they started talking about "appropriating" money from bank accounts, the prediction Ayn made about the Looters came to pass. Seriously, this could have been a paragraph in AS.

Talk about having ones head up their a$$! It doesn't take a genius to see the potential domino effect this could have. Hang on to your keister.

You've got that right!. Pig headed came from fact, thus A=A!

Nice! I noticed that with the .357. I adjusted, and all was good. :-)

Woohoo!!!

I have *no* issue about shooting a Wild Boar. None whatsoever. They're as sneaky and hardheaded as a Washington Politician... and almost as dangerous!

Chuck Norris's index finger... shoots 20 mm grenade rounds. ;)

Too bad you sacrificed your tools... it is a sad, sad day when the looter's actions make us give up what we have the right and responsibility to keep and bear...

A woman my husband used to work with went on a boar hunt, using a .50 cal s&w .500. She dropped it in one shot, but was pretty surprised when its friend popped out of the brush and charged. Fired the next round, and also dropped the second boar. Good shot, too!

It's in the Eurozone. Anything connected to the Euro (contrary to what the Flying Merkel says in her propoganda pieces) is gonna reverb like a plucked string. Since the major world currencies are all interconnected... well... you do the math.

**swoon**

My "standard hunting backup" sidearms were always S&W's in 357... one on each side. (And yes, I can shoot both dominant and weak handed...)

I used to only have one, but once in the Monterey, CA, area on a pig hunt, having had a wild boar take 5 of those to the head before it realized it might be fatally wounded before dropping, I discovered I really, REALLY wanted a backup! ((Scared? You bet your butt I was!!!)

Since moving to the mountains, however, I decided to upgrade to a 44 mag. Takes a *lot* more concentration (for me at least) to pull off multiples with said hand cannon, but at least I feel that a bear might respect the added horsepower that the "mosquito-shooters" didn't have.

let you be a lesson to us, eilenel. nice to hear from you!

Yeah, TPTB keep insisting that Cyprus is a "special case" and that it won't happen here.... (snort)
I'm giving serious thought to stopping contributions to my 401K and buying junk silver coins.

1911's are a blast! I know what you mean about the trigger; I dd not like the Glock I fired, and the polymer frame/grip, etc. I prefer revolvers, med-lg frame, wood grip, some engraving, min cal .38.

Before I sacrificed my weapons ahead of possible confiscation, I had a Bersa .380 that I kept loaded with Extreme-Shock frangible ammo. Smaller gun= better ammo; saw an article in a magazine where a guy took down a wild boar with this ammo.

I carry an IMEZ .380 Makarov 12+1 and must say I find it extremely accurate. Not difficult at all to stay on target even with rapid pulls of the trigger. The firing causes the gun to go up a bit, but the slide moving forward for the next shot brings it back down again. If I try and treat it like most guns I find my pattern will go down and left as I overcompensate for the kick. Once you learn to adjust its 13 holes in a tight pattern in very little time.

His concealed carry... is a .50 BMG derringer...

Sad thing is, I'm so used to the Walther that I'm not bothered by it's letting me know it's there. Well, maybe not sad... but I always laugh at the difference between the 1911 and the PPKs... I can shoot the 1911 all day and not think too much about it (except for the dent in the ammo budget!)... the little one gets... um... I guess the word is "annoying". I'll look into the Sig... maybe I could use it as a Bikini-Carry... ;)

Actually, a coworker was a *huge* fan of the Seacamp 32.. It was a nicely built and very concealable firearm, but putting my life (or that of my loved ones) in the hands of a 32 is kinda like putting it in the hands of a 25. (I do have a 25 that fits well in my evening purse, but again, you need (a) an *excellent* sight picture, and (b) a range of about 6 inches for it to be anyway effective... ;) )

I am too, especially with the current world situation... looks like Cyprus is the tip of the iceberg Ayn predicted...

You guys and gals are all off the track. This is THE most interesting man in the world. He obviously designs his own custom firearms!

I'm glad everyone is tuned in :) to the gulch.

I own a Beretta 70s. By far my favorite .380 acp. A ton of fun to shoot, and might just fit into one's cleavage...or whatever else you might use to conceal carry.

Well played david. I was thinking the exact same thing ;) Good work to you too Susanne!!

Hard to beat the 1911. I also own a PPK and a Glock currently. 1911 is by far my favorite.
