If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. — Samuel Adams

Smooth move Andre. Your entitlement attitude got your fool self and another person killed. And possibly another baby for the taxpayers to support.
Mobile trying hard to catch up to Baltimore, Chicongo, Memphis et al. Older brother is outside of Mobile. Says there is a lot of sketchy stuff going on and most of it doesn’t even make the news.
Davis musta figured someone might shoot back, else he wouldn’t have worn the vest. How did that work out for you, Dippy?
Anybody else notice that most Cowboys preferred the ARMY Revolver over the NAVY Colt?
Very simple… cap and ball Army guns were .44 caliber, Navy guns were .36 caliber. Some, like a fella named Hickock, felt the .36 ‘shot harder’ but like now, most folks think more power is better. (In modern terms, the .44 had a .45 barrel and the .36 was a .38/.357 bore.) Think of it as the 9mm/.45 debate of the time.
Don’t matter which caliber you use, as long as it starts with a “4”!😂
Actually, the .36 Colt model 1851 had a bore of .375. It is the modern .38 Special that is .357.
So the .36 is really a .38 and the .38 is really a .36.
The .38 Winchester Center Fire (.38 WCF) also known as the .38-40, is actually a true .40, and is essentially the 10mm.
Hey King of Battle! Did you forget what today is?
Yep, it is the Army’s 244th Birthday!

Re: The picture – Horseshoe Pr0n,please don’t show them anymore. Thank You/s
There must be at least 16 different sizes/types/purposes to pre-forged horseshoes, and I can’t even begin to tell you just how broke-dick the back of a 60 year old feels after spending the day humping out 18-20 tons of 50 pound boxes while working as a purchase order processor at a farm&ranch store distribution center.
So, Yeah, BTDT.
Post Script: Was so glad to be working in the distribution center and not a shelf stocker in the retail store, especially when little miss blondie wanna-be cowgirl asks if horseshoes come in designer colors./smile
Claw;
Was that Cowgirl wanna-be trying to “Horse ” around with you? If that was me working, I would have sung/yodeled her Patsy Montana’s I want to be a Cow-Girls Sweet Heart. Patsy sang it using the song as a Cow-Boys Sweet Heart.
Didn’t even notice them until you pointed them out. I’m more famialier with them than I need to be, too, so I’ll keep a watch for them.
The company who makes the big truck bumpers, Ranch Hand, started in life making barbed wire – if you are ever in Shiner, Tx their lobby walls are covered with hundreds of samples of various barb wires they have manufactured. Cool show of a little slice of history. (Think they are also the largest manufacturer of those wire newspaper racks. They are conveniently close to the country’s oldest continuously operating brewery, Spoetzl, the folks who make Shiner beers.
If I’m ever in Shiner, I’m going to look in on the place that makes their OTHER famous product!

“… barb wire…”
“…slice of history…”
That’s good, Sir.
What happened to the ordinance Chicks??????

I have a hard time with the last story. Maybe I have a soft spot for people who meet their end when they’re trying to do the right thing, I don’t know. What a fucking waste.
The kid in the backseat of the BMW was probably going to grow up without his father around anyway, but the asshole didn’t need to take someone down with him while playing gangster.
