A Double Trifecta, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. WW grins.

The SMG article is a fascinating peek at “homegrown”.
There are regional flavors to these things. Some are clear efforts to replicate known designs, and some are unique designs repeated by a successful shop. (Then copied by others).
The magazine is usually the most difficult thing to get reliably right, especially those holding 20+ rounds. Thus, bootlegs often use scrounged factory mags.
That Il article is going to be counted as a school shooting by some “common sense people control” organization.
If the guy dies it will be due to Corona.
A shooting in Charleston, IL near the EIU campus? wow….
I’m sure that is all anyone is talking about down there. Shootings are usually more of a Decatur, IL thing…
WAND is the Decatur TV station…NBC I think…
A double trifecta AND a full page of fugly gun pr0n? Damned if you ain’t trying to spread all kinds of good cheer. Good job!
