    Serious question about courtroom procedure

    We have several lawyers here so maybe they will know. The person speaking in the courtroom - a lawyer or a witness, either one - has a stutter or a stammer or a thick accent. Does the court reporter take down exactly what the guy said --- "b-b-b-but I d-d-don't h-have a C-c-c-cadillac"? Or...

    James Bond's Beretta

    We all know, or we should all know, that Bond originally carried a 25 caliber Beretta. And I have seen stated here and there on the internet that it was a Model 418. I have never seen that in one of the books. When they took his 25 away from him, they specified that he was not only getting a...

    Helpful suggestions requested

    Several years ago I purchased a Cold Steel Military Classic. As you can see, this is a copy of a Randall number one. It comes with a black micarta handle, which is extremely slippery. All the Randalls I have seen have a stag handle, which because of the lumps and valleys should give you a...

    The Cabin at the Lake - think piece

    Andre Norton has a book. In this book this boy in his late teens is going to go spend the week at the family cabin up at the lake. He rides his motorcycle. He does not need to take any clothing with him - there's clothes in the cabin. Doesn't need a lot of food - there's canned goods and...

    Bianchi shoulder harness

    Does anyone know where I might get the harness for bianchi 9R upside down shoulder holster? Bought the holster years ago off of eBay, thinking I could order a new harness from bianchi, and then found out they didn't make it anymore. That's probably why the guy sold the holster - because he...

    Folding other flags

    saw a meme recently. How to fold the UN flag. And they folded it like the American flag. In half lengthwise twice, then folding into the little triangle shape. Then when you finish you threw it away. Haha. But that got me to wonder. I thought that folding method was only for the US flag. The...

    Your wedding date

    Did not want to hijack the other wedding thread. For you gentlemen (and I direct this to the gentleman because we know the ladies have no problem remembering dates) that had any input of which day you would get married, did you choose a date that you could remember? I proposed in very late...

    What thread has that picture of the four women target shooters

    I want to save that picture to my hard drive, but I can't find the thread it's on. I thought it was the meme thread, but it does not seem to be.

    Strange question about Colt D frames and you

    I see many threads, on this board and others, extolling the virtues of the Colt Detective Special, and expressing a desire to have one. I see this so often, it makes me wonder if I am the only one who finds it an uncomfortable gun to shoot? If you were to compare the Colt revolver trigger...

    Serial Number question

    Pre-war hand ejectors have a flat spot on the bottom of the barrel just in front of the frame. The serial number is stamped on this flat spot. This applies to pistols that do not have an ejector shroud. For ones that DO have an ejector shroud - a 38/44, for example, or a Triplelock - do they...

    Would you shoot it?

    The thread down the line about making meatballs using manatee and Florida panther dredged this up out of memory. For those that are unaware, the Florida panther is not only our state animal, but it's on the endangered list and they get very upset with you if you kill one. Five or six years...

    Was there a thread about a Florida home invasion?

    Within the last week or so. I thought it was here, but can't find it. I click on search, the box opens, I put my cursor in the box to type FLORIDA HOME INVASION, but before I can type anything the box closes. Six times it did that, so I have come to the conclusion that search is not working...

    Hey Caj - do you drive a Chevy?

    I just saw a picture of a pick-'em-up truck with Louisiana plates, and according to the tailgate it is a SILVERADEAUX.

    Do British automobiles have wheels?

    I know there's a few Brits here, so they should know. British cars do not have a windshield. They have a windscreen. They do not have a trunk. They have a boot. They do not have a roof. That is the hood. If you thought the hood was over the engine, you were wrong. That is the bonnet. They also...

    Stainless Hi Power

    Is there such a critter? I'm reading a Spenser novel, written in 2001. They're describing the pile of pistols on the table. A P38, two Brownings, a Glock and three S&W 357 revolvers. "And since most of them were stainless, they gleamed dully in the twilight." Most is "more than half", so I...

    +P question

    I don't come to this forum often, so if this question has been asked frequently, I apologize for asking it again I have two J frames. The barrels are marked 38 Spl +P, so I have no worries about them. I have five K frame 38s. These I wonder about. I have a 2" M&P from the 30s.666xxx number...

    Question for the cops

    The thread about renewing your license made me think of this. You pull somebody over, look at their license, and it says corrective lenses. They are not wearing glasses. You ask about this, and they say they're wearing contacts. Do you take their word for it or is there some way of checking?

    Watched "The Professionals" last night

    The recent thread had me drag my copy out. This is one of my favorite movies, but the ending is SOOOOO stupid. When they first go in the desert, they are all well-fed and well-rested. They have fresh strong horses. They have three pack mules carrying people food, horse food, and water. At the...
