Yes, JackOff, I find SA revolvers "fiddly" to load and unload with that
damned loading gate and having to push the plunger every time to get
each piece of brass out.
I don't have any trouble loading a cylinder with a speed loader, despite
my comments about unloading the empties into a plastic box while loading
the chambers at nearly the same time with a speed loader.
My thoughts about "carry" are evolving. I have no objection to concealed
carry generally, but I now think those who do should have to demonstrate
serious proficiency with a handgun and pass a serious psychological
exam. I've read the comments of too many retarded hotheads on gun
discussion boards to think that anyone who can fog a mirror should be
able to "carry."
We have a couple of bat**** crazy posters right here in rec.boats who
shouldn't be allowed near hand tools, let alone a concealed handgun.
We had a kid with mental problems shoot up a cafe in Seattle a couple
of years ago. I don't recall how many died and how many lives were
shattered as a result.
He had a CCP and his father pleaded with authorities to revoke it. The
state wouldn't since the son hadn't been committed. He'd demonstrated
poor judgement and a furious temper and had been acting erratically
but there was nothing the state could do and he hadn't gone far enough
to be committed.
Someone nixed him from the cafe for his irrational borderline behavior
and he went off.
Sensible gun control laws will never be written. We'll just keep
having more incidents like Cafe Racer where innocents are gunned down
by "lawful gun owners," ...until they're not.
Sensible gun control laws are all over the books. Look at Chicago and tell me how well they're
enforced.
