1. This is not a rifle. The 45 Colt with 14,000 PSI backing out of the chamber upon ignition because of an extra .030" head space is not as safe as the 45 ACP with 19,000 PSI designed to stick out of the chamber .030", why???

2. Always wear safety glasses when shooting!
Yeah, too many people these days remind me of the kid in Kindergarten Cop
"Maybe its a TUMOR!"

Our society has become so risk-adverse it cracks me up sometimes. My last employer distributed these big banners to every work group in the company that said "Safety is my PURPOSE" - and after making every one of us sign them with a paint pen, they hung them up all over the plant. Funny thing is, I always thought serving the customer was our purpose.

Laws compelling seatbelt usage, bicycle helmets, motorcycle helmets, etc., etc., etc.. The nanny state has turned the average person into a chicken little who is afraid of any and all risks - no matter how slim or remote the odds. Is it any wonder so many of our young men are such emasculated twits they follow morons like David Hogg?

sorry [/rant]
