THE FOUR RULES

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

Winston Churchill said
"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.
BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"
Si Vis Paceum Para Bellum

Sam Adams, more than beer

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen”
Samuel Adams

Lincoln on power

"We must prevent these things being done, by either congresses or courts — The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it —" Abraham Lincoln

Gun show numbers game.

Friday will be the fairgrounds gun show. Since the last show the weekend of April 12th, I've been casting bullets, scrounging primers and powder and loading ammo. For this show, I loaded over 11,000 rounds of the popular pistol calibers. That doesn't include the odd calibers and rifle ammo. It also doesn't count what I have sold to one of my good customers for his store. Hopefully, with 97 boxes of 9 mm, I won't run out before Sunday. The last 3 shows I had to work into the wee hours just to have something to put on the table.

Here's the breakdown of pistol ammo on hand.
380; 800 rounds
9mm; 4850 rounds
38 Super; 100 rounds*
38spec; 950 rounds
357; 100 rounds*
40 S&W; 2850 rounds
45ACP; 1600 rounds

That comes to 225 boxes that are packed and ready to load.

I didn't bother to inventory 41, 44, 45 Colt or 454. That would add another 500 or so and then there is the rifle calibers. I in the process of loading 800 223's with 55 gr Lead gas checked bullets. After this show, the next one isn't until the end of September. I think I'll take a week off and do some napping. Right after I mow the yard.

* brass for these has been a problem.
