I was doing a little research on this thing, trying to figure out how it works. And I came up with three or four videos of that stop. That was a stolen car. I say was a stolen car because now it's a wreck, but at least they caught the bad guys. I wonder who buys the victim a new car, since...

The fruit loops. My scoutmaster told me that his teenage son REQUIRED a specific brand of expensive shampoo. So Bob took the empty bottle out of the trash can and refilled it with dish soap. Bobby never knew the difference.

That's one of the things I really liked about Longmire. He didn't carry a super dooper plastic fantastic 9 mm and an AR-15. He carried the 1911 and a model 94 Winchester. In the books it's mentioned a couple of times that it's the gun he carried in Vietnam. Which, of course, means he stole it...

That's because he learned how to shoot when he was Marshall Matt Dillon. You know Marshall Dillon never misses. (For those unaware, he played Matt Dillon on the radio Gunsmoke)

One of the best I saw where they made it obvious obvious. Five Card Stud. Dean Martin is out in the middle of nowhere having a little target practice at a windmill. I'm sure that the rancher that was using that thing to work his pump appreciated that. He's shooting quickly. Pow pow pow pow pow...

I have a friend. He has a twin brother. His name is Donald Joseph whatever. His twin brother is Ronald Joseph whatever. Y'all see where this is going, right? Their social security numbers are one digit apart. And Ronnie has a criminal record. So about 95% of the time that Donnie tries to buy a...

I remember him as an astronaut, and his spacesuit came with two pair of pants.

Federal law requires you to use a common carrier to ship a pistol. Federal law also requires you to tell the common carrier what is in the box. I don't have to tell them that I'm shipping a broken clock back to the manufacturer. But if I'm shipping a pistol, I have to tell them...

Like a stile but for horses? I did a search, hoping for a picture, but what I found pretty much split between co-op and "how to turn your old horse stable into a chicken coop".

Maybe he thinks that the flame from the burning powder would start the magnesium on fire.

I have heard CO used as COMMANDING OFFICER, as CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR, and CORRECTIONS OFFICER. None of the three of these seem to fit your posts. So what is a CO?

I kind of like that idea, but it's hard on the chain link. Burns the galvanizing off and then the fence rusts.

Years ago, in Shooting Times. I think it was Skeeter. Might have been Bill Jordan. Might have been Charlie Askins. But I think it was Skeeter. Border patrolman. He and his partner kept their pistol shooting skills up by tacking a target to a tree and shooting at it at about 50 yards with 38...

In one of Dick Francis's murder mysteries - Proof - woman that runs a pub. She had just had the chimney swept a couple weeks earlier but it wasn't drawing right. So she stuck at 12 gauge up there and pulled the trigger. Not a blank - bird shot. Big wad of soot fell down into the fireplace. "I'm...

This has probably been about 40 years ago. Me and my younger brother were coming back from hunting one day, and ran over a patch of soft sand. And there we sat with wheels spinning. We went out with our shotguns and shot branches out of pine trees. Jacked up the back of the car and put the...
