  1. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention keeps data on fatal injuries from 1999 to 2011 and one category is homicides by legal intervention. The term "legal intervention" covers any situation when a person dies at the hands of anyone authorized to use deadly force in the line of duty.
  2. There archons fine quality guns made in Turkey. DecHann & CZ SxS & O/U are fine examples. There is some junk too. I looked at a Kahn once.Turkey is at the same level of craftsmanship today as what Spain was in the '70s. There were some excellent double barrel shotguns produced in Spain. This is on Winchester & I doubt that the parent company FN would have let this kind of junk get on the market if it had passed directly through their hands.
  3. Death has been ruled a homocide & the arrest illegal to start with. What was the charge anyway, a seat belt violation?
  4. Back on the '70s, my Dad was a foreman for a steel mill contractor at US Steel "South Works" in Chicago. They had a slip on Lake Michigan where they loaded barges with slag. One year they set up gill nets on the midnight shift. My Dad came home with a plastic (unused) garbage can full of smelt! We cleaned smelt for quite a while. I liked the small ones best. The bones would cook up so you could eat 'em like French fries
  5. That doesn't change the fact that manufacturing jobs are all being sent to 3rd world economies & the United States is quickly becoming one. The countries largest private sector employer pays most of its employees minimum wage level in ones that rely on socikal programs got survival. Sounds like socialism for the corporation to me.
  6. Not a properly designed & manufactured firing pin. This is just totally shoddy design, workmanship and quality control. No excuse.
  7. There are plenty of educated people working minimum wage jobs. Those high paying jobs just don't magically appear every time somone gets a college degree do they? WTF up! 25 years ago General Motors was the largest private sector employer in the United States. Today it's Walmart
  8. So, are American workers expected to work for the same labor costs as 3rd world countries? Germany has some of the highest labor costs in the world, (and one of the highest standards of living BTW) yet they have a trade surplus & manufacture more cars than the United States. What's up with that?
  9. I just picked up my turkey tags at the local town clerk's office.
  10. Walmart carries 28 ga target loads & the Winchester high brass are sold at Gander Mountain. Options in 28 ga guns is limited.
  11. Winchester has 28 ga 1 oz high brass loads @ 1205 fps. They are very potent for pheasant and would certainly do the job on turkeys if the range isn't stretched. That's 1/3 more payload of than .410. 3/4 oz target loads would be equivalent to 3" .401 loads.
  12. Nope, no felony needed. Two of my former co-workers that were neighbors got into a pi$$ing match way back during the "W" circus & a local magistrate had all of the guns confiscated from both of them.In retrospect, they were both a few cards shy of a full deck, but I was still amazed that a local magustrate had the power to do that.
  13. Maybe he was living "within his means" and had his income cut by over 70% like mine was. If it wasn't for my wife's teaching income, which conserv-a-turds think is excessive, we would lose our home. If conservatives are so concerned with preventing child births by those that can't afford to feed them, why are they doing everthing they can to make access to birth control harder for poor people?
  14. The point is that tax cuts for the rich also contribute to the deficit. At least money channeled to the poor is returned to the economy while most of those tax cuts get funneled into offshore tax havens or are invested in 3rd world jobs, thus putting even more American workers out of work.
  15. Some of the people that are responding to this thread need to remember the old adage, don't judge someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes.
  16. I don't think you are missing out on much. Up here on the tundra, things are weeks behind normal. Some of the fields aren't even greened up yet & the leaves are just starting to poke out of the buds.
  17. There's a recall.http://huntingny.com/forums/topic/27445-winchester-sxp-recall/
  18. Hey "hunter49" ever go to Frank's for roast beef on wek?
  19. 3# is a good hunting weight trigger if it doesn't have creep.
  20. Once the hens start sitting on clutches of egg later in the season, from about 10:30 AM until the legal cut off at noon can be the most productive times. When the hens give the gobbler the slip to sit on their eggs, the horny old Tom gets lonely. He'll come looking for love when he hears your calls.
  21. Just curious, what is there about that particular issue that makes it so desirable?
  22. They don't make very good soup do they.
  23. Indiana is tha same way. Some check stations are at convenient mart/gas stations that are open 24/7. Others are at country stores located in prime hunting areas as well as sporting goods stores. You take your paper tagged deer in, they register it & give you a metal seal to apply to the carcass.
