We were on the right course in the 70's when we realized the danger of
the automobile and lowered the speed limit to 55. Many lives were

that could have been saved! However, a group of hoodlums promoting the
false god of common sense not only kept that from happening, but
returned us to speeds as high as or higher than before. Speed (like
guns) KILLS!

* I thought president Ford demanded a mandatory 55 mph speed limit to

It was Tricky Dick.

OOPS! You're right. I forgot it was installed in '74.

Microprocessors were designed by the guided missile community to

on a mass scale but we found peaceful uses for them.
In the same way the overwhelmingly vast majority of guns never

anyone.

Gee, then why do all of the hunters want them? And actually,
microprocessors were designed to get man into space.

LOL! Though, some have probably tried.

There must be an app for that!

I'm just astonished at the utter stupidity underlying many of the
"accidents." Example: how dumb do you have to be to make sure a
firearm
is unloaded before you clean it?

----------------------------------------------

Some of the pistols can be confusing ... especially the ones on the
"MA Compliant" list up here. There are so many supposed "safeties"
on them that you really have to stop and think about the one you are
handling if you don't use it often.

I have a Walther PPK/2. To lock the slide open, you first release
the magazine. That allows the slide to lock in the open position.
Won't lock open if there's a magazine installed.

To release the slide, a magazine must be re-inserted ... either
loaded
or empty. The actual "safety" switch is really a de-cocker. It
puts
a barrier plate up so when the slide is released, it prevents the
hammer from hitting the firing pin.

It took me a while to understand how to use it and it's different
than
some of the other pistols I've tried. I can kinda see how someone
could screw up if they have several guns with different operating
characteristics or procedures.

That's why I like revolvers. Simple.



Is that the PPK M2? I tried but couldn't find the PPK/2 on the Walther
site.

-------------------------------------------------

My mistake. It's a PPK/S (although Walther *does* make a PPK2)
Here's the one I have:
