T LEE,
<br>
<br>Re vertically challenged lawman.
<br>
<br>I saw the following from my office window overlooking the scene.
<br>
<br>Many years back the company I worked for was plagued with wildcat strikes. During one, a iron pumping massive 6' union official, violating a court order was ordered to stop blocking the driveway by an Indianapolis Police Officer on the scene to enforce the law. He refused and gave the officer a ration of crap.
<br>
<br>The officer, maybe 5'5" in shoes, bounced the big buy off the top of a car and then to the ground and into cuffs much quicker than you can describe it.
<br>
<br>Later, after the local bailed him out, I asked the union guy what happened. He didn't really want to talk about it. I noticed his usual swagger was somewhat subdued.
<br>
<br>I looked closely at the officer and really couldn't see enough there to do what he did, but he did it.
<br>
<br>At least on that day Randy Newman was wrong.
<br>
<br>N.

Yeah, I have fooled more than one in my day. Just do what ya gotta do and don't talk it to death beforehand! 'Sides most just saw a short guy in uniform, never looked at my arms and shoulders before they started their stuff, ya know what I mean, Vern!
<br>
<br>Back at ya later, going to the range and try shooting the board match with a few of my long guns.

George Orwell was a Prophet, not a novelist. Read 1984 and then look around you!

TLee, Not directed at you (just the closest reply button)!
<br>
<br>I'm a little late into the fray, but one thing to consider regarding cheap or inexpensive guns...
<br>
<br>There are many honest law abiding citizens that just can't afford a quality gun but the deserve the right to defend themselves with what they can afford to buy at the time.
<br>
<br>Banning the cheap ones would disarm many that don't have the financial resources we do.

Part of "the wicked sense of humor "was inherited, all of the heighth was. Tall women can be fun because if you bump into them your face lands where it wanted to be in the first place.

Glockblaster, the guy who I.D.ed the AK-74 is now being charged with giving a false statement to a police officer in a murder investigation. I was perplexed about the AK-74 too, because I knew it was a tad smaller than .223, but thought that perhaps the round was so deformed that they couldn't tell the difference.
<br>
<br>I am always amazed at how little reporters know about firearms in general (You'd think they'd only assign people with some familiarity with firearms, but they must be few and far between among "newsmen."). I've heard it described as an AR-74, and AK-47 and a number of others. Also, they speak of the .223 round as if it is one of the most powerful rounds out there. Perhaps they would like to introduce legislation outlawing any round that powerful and above. We'd have to hunt our elk with the .221 Fireball. [Linked Image]

<br>Just woke up from a nap, was up at 0330 this AM to take Wife, Daughter and son-in-law to the airport. Guess I'll go try to shoot that match at the range now. Man, CAT and Dave King are gonna rag me to death if I don't send Dave some targets soon.
<br>
<br>Why don't Y'all give it a try, it's free and fun.

The 5.45 mm round used in the AK74 is a higher velocity, smaller diameter round than that of the U.S.counterpart, the 5.56 (.223). The primary lethality is the result of cavitation and fragmentation. the secondary result of it's use is psychological because it can also tend to cause very nasty, very dramatic and terrible wounds with slow, lingering death instead of the quick, heroic death that Hollywood portrays and that extremist martyrs hope for.
<br> As to the so called witness i.d. of the weapon and not a glimpse of the shooter, refer to my theory on that earlier yesterday , while I jump up and down yelling "told you so, told you so!" The reason why you find no knowledge or expertise in the rank and file of the socialist controlled media is just that. It is owned and controlled by a political base that could not exist in a free society where there are citizens instead of subjects and rights instead of a few bartered for priveleges. The few so-called experts they do produce for the TV spots are the ones who will say whatever the Masters want heard to get there moment of glory in the national media spotlight, and others simply seem to have an exagerrated Walter Mitty complex to the point they believe they fought side by side with Rambo in all of the movies Stallone did. That further promotes the Democratic Socialist party agenda that we must be disarmed as civilians for our own protection , but mostly for theirs.
