My Colt Pocket-Hammerless .380 turns 100 this year. I carried it, appropriately, in my pocket for a couple of years. It's still a perfectly viable option.
It's not the oldest gun I've ever carried. That honor goes to my Grampa's old H&R revolver, which is 135 years old this year. It's obsolete, but I still wouldn't want to get shot with it.
I think this also underscores a huge problem with gun control.
Guns don't really have an expiration date.
If they miss even one 100 year old pistol, someone could put the idea behind the old Liberator or Deer Gun into practice.
No doubt. I have a Swedish Mauser that's over 100 yrs old, an FN from WW2, Garand from WW2, and lots of others that are 40+ yrs old, all still shoot well.
ReplyDeleteAnd obsolete designs work just fine. Slow on the reload, but a lot better than nothing. I know a lot of people who're into black powder. I've even seen English Civil War and Thirty Years' War reenactors shooting matchlocks.
ReplyDeleteWe are an armed and dangerous people. They cannot stuff that genie back in the bottle. They cannot force the horse back into the barn. They cannot unsail that ship...
ReplyDeleteThey can stop future gun sales. Briefly. Very briefly... And this circumstance keeps wicked people awake and nervous at night... Hehehe, it's good to be an American.
I promise you this: there's some wicked people trapped between the Trump administration and an armed and angry population. What a conundrum! Face ruinous prosecution like Trump did or be chased down, caught and publicly executed by a public hanging... Hehehehe it's still good to be an American.
These fools think that getting rid of Trump would somehow make them safe. They never realized that Trump was a symptom, not the root of their problem. There was a parade going by, and Trump found himself out leading it. All they'd have done if they had got rid of Trump (via impeachment, indictment or assassination) would have been to make him a martyr. And martyrs are much more difficult to fight than normal enemies.
