Glad Chicago’s yellow-vested Peacekeepers were on hand to defuse both, never mind. Thanks again for the links Gun Bunny.

Just another week in ShitCongo.
Try the Ruger Security Six, or it’s fixed-sight sibling the Speed Six. It’s a darn good .357 wheelgun.
Dirtbags getting ventilated in the Windy City. Time to breeze on outa there.
Cry havoc and release the dogs of war. We are emotionally exhausted over the morally bankrupt.
Just had to go and post that particular article today, didn’t ya! Knowing my fondness of nice wheel guns, my admiration for all things Kimber, the list of chores calling my name, and that I would get lost in the multiple linkys rabbit holes. Well played there, Kid Squid, thinking that you may keep me from fulfilling the duties on the DA Form 6 to be “that guy”, knowing, as demonstrated by SFC D yesterday, that SOMEONE will always step up. Or is it a nefarious plot by certain members wanting to keep me distracted from the fact that today IS Friday and at some point in time the TAH Friday Weekend Open Thread will drop? Welp…let me be the FIRST to remind these said plotters…I can multi-task like a mofo and there will be a spirited attempt to endeavor to persevere. You gonna flog that F5 key or whistle Dixie?
RuhRo!
The offender sustained a gunshot wound to the back and was transported to Christ, where he was treated and released.
Depart from me, wicked back-shot hateful-hater-hater.
Very interesting that Kimber is making another fine variant of the K6S. I wanted to get a revolver I could put in to my EDC lineup, and the Ruger GP100 with a 6″ barrel I had bought years ago to take advantage of them going first at tournaments was just not that concealable. I bought a K6S in 3″ and it was exactly what I was looking for. Though I am not sure I would agree with the author that even in .357 it is tame…but maybe that extra inch makes a huge difference (since my Ruger seems like it is firing .22s).
Only 126 shot and 20 killed over the 4th Day Weekend in the Windage City. The good news is that no Peacekeepers were arrested for assault and strong arm robbery which is better than Memorial Day Weekend.
