you can not have a round in the chamber and not have the trigger cocked Except in the case of a misfire... Sorry could not help myself from being a smart alec... :) True... But even then you can pull the trigger forward so it looks like it is 'cocked', and it won't reset the firing pin for a second...

I was hoping to make the breakfast but a babe ruth baseball game for my 13 year old is trumping it for me. That said, spirited discourse is always a good way to spend an afternoon in the office.
Perhaps I reacted a bit strongly to a previous posting in this thread. HammAR and I discussed the situation offline and I do appologize to him if my comments implied a lack of moral or ethical standards on his behalf in this post. In fact I found HammAR to be quite understanding and honorable in our...
For the record, I take particular offense to short bus jokes. At this time I am containing myself from hurling comments about the lack of decency of people who would use such an item as humor. You might as well have insulted my mother. Please remove. For the record, this was not a personal attack o...
That is very interesting. I also noticed what was stated about the scoring on the jacket and the mushrooming and it makes sense that where you score it it would seperate but then as you look at it of course the first peice to start (especially visible in the 7mm bullet) petals well befor it reaches ...
My point. If I drop my wifes Wustoff on straight down on your foot you will need a surgeon to repair the tendon damage. If I drop one of these, you can get by with a few stiches. I like the design. Making a product with some safety feature is not a bad thing I think. I agree safety is in the actions...
Here's another question I have that my ADD didn't allow me to find in the DNR regs.... I know there are designated shotgun/rifle areas for Deer, does the same apply for 'yotes? Though if you start looking at public hunting land close to the twin cities some areas have restrictions on rifle and lead...
They should pick one sales pitch or the other. The kitchen safety pitch is just a bit more tolerable than the crime reduction. Thats a pretty weak marketing tactic. I agree that the crime reduction claim is complete nonsense. I can also see your Gramps point though I would say there is a role for s...
I understand but I don't buy it. At the right angle the point of that knife still looks like it'd sink 1/2'' to 3/4'' of an inch deeper than I'd prefer (the surface of my skin). Stabbing yourself, while doing common kitchen tasks is something I have difficulty understanding. At that point who's rea...
Has the UK banned angle grinders? 2 minutes with one and this knife is sharp pointed, and just as capable of stabbing as any other piece of metal. Even a whetstone could have a good enough edge on the rounded part in not much time. Sharp or not, that will still go through somebody, with enough forc...
