I thought Massachusetts had an open carry law?

Got me there Nick. I guess it is considered a partial open carry state.


"Massachusetts is not a traditional open carry state, but it is not a crime for Class A License holders to open carry. However, it is reported that some jurisdictions will use this as an excuse to revoke permits."

For some reason, I was told many people are not registering their guns now.

Worried about Obama knowing who and where you are..

I would register. I have a rifle permit but I got that years ago because I needed it to purchase and antique rifle. I do not have a pistol permit.

A friend of mine had a High Standard revolver in .22 Long Rifle, with a .22 Magnum cylinder he used to carry trapping (wayyy back in the Stone Age, well before the idiotic 3 year mandatory thing).

Let's not discuss the legalities involved.

The gun's DA pull was SO bad it was essentially a single action, but that was A-OK in it's assigned role.

It was tough, dependable, and accurate.

Very nice work gun.

I thought it was called a "Double Nine"......

I run Flat TV's for Amazon and also huge rolls of copper for electric plants in Arkansas .. twice loads have been hijacked, with other drivers..

So you will shoot the hijackers? That is why you have the gun, right?
I won't go through the dog and pony show of copy pasting. Just try to remember your earlier posts.
Because you need literal explanation, I am not being sarcastic in this post.

It's called a deterrent.. and no lets copy and past...

You said you wish someone would get killed... now you're somehow trying to justify your statement??

I hope you have the opportunity to kill someone.

If that is not what you meant to say, then just say sorry, you made a mistake and quit trying to justify the statement, move on..

I wouldn't shoot the hijackers for taking the load or even the whole rig. If they want it they can have it. I would however defend myself if they wanted to get violent or start shooting at me.

Nah, they just kicked the crap out of one of our drivers, put him in the hospital.. He didn't resist and let them have both the Tractor, Trailer and load..

You got to assume that if they are willing to steal the load, they may not want any witnesses.. even if you cooperate.

It is not reasonable to assume that the hijackers will let you live. Even when they are only kicking that crap out of you, just one kick to the side of the head could kill you. Accidental or deliberate, you will still be dead.

Still quite a bit more than .22 ammo.

Not all that much after you factor out the initial cost of once fired brass, which you can reuse dozens of times with target loads, then I used a very inexpensive powder called nobel 69....the lead I got from discarded babbit bearings in the mill where I worked and cast my own in a 240 gr. mold for 24 magnum, and swap some 357 lead bullets with a guy who had that mold.... add the cost of primers and it ended up costing just about double the price of 50 .22 for 50 .357 and slightly more for 44 magnum because it used more powder.....
Then the lee loading press would also be used for my rifle cartridges for hunting where the load could be tailored for maximum accuracy/velocity for a specific rifle.
I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that my sport cost wayyyy less than the average golfer when you add up club membership and green fees.... for golf...

Well, yeah, golf is stupid expensive, but I guess any sport can be as expensive as you want to make it. The average person who goes target shooting isn't going to be doing all the stuff you talk about, though obviously it seems like a little elbow grease can pay off quite well.

It think most people just prefer to be able to pick up some dirt cheap .22 rounds and spend that extra time shooting things.

Based on the cost of .22 rounds, I have to admit that I might be compelled to make it the calibre of choice for a target shooting handgun.
