<note to self: Fed Ex one Hell Yeah to John>

They may be drunks, but not a single muzzle crosses anybody, including the
photographer. Well done.

Looks like a S&W 500 in there. Nice.

Speaking of S&W, I picked up my S&W 340PD .357 yesterday. That thing is so
light, it feels like, if not for the Hogue rubber grips weighing it down, it
would just float away! The Thad Rybka pocket holster I had made back in 1992
for my S&W Bodyguard fits, so I've been carrying it. It just disappears in a
pants pocket. Most comfortable gun I've ever carried, even more than my tiny
Seecamp .32.

Gonna' go shoot it tomorrow. First some standard pressure .38s, then a few
+P .38s, then Corbon 125 gr JHP .357s.

Pray for me.

I'll be waiting with baited breath.

Nor one finger on the trigger.

Very nice. I'm still looking for a smaller carry handgun.

I will but I'm sure it won't be anything you can't handle. I was
shooting 3 1/2 magnum 12 gauge loads this past weekend. Those loads
seem to kick less and less every year.

Saturday also kicked off the official "sleep with a loaded firearm
cradled in your arms season" for me. It was hot and sunny and I was
tired so I lay down in my blind and took a total of three naps over
the weekend. I once slept with a rifle in my arms when the temps were
right around zero degrees during the November firearms season. I'm
not a morning person.

Really?
Look again at the guy in the white T-shirt, fourth from the left.

There is a guy pointing his gun right at the photographer. And 4th from the
left has his finger on the trigger. I'd say there is one more but it is
hard to tell because of his hand positioning.

He's clearly the undercover plant of the Democratic National Committee.

No photographer. Delay timer shutter release.

As I had to point out to Adam, that's the undercover plant of the Democratic
National Committee.

They often work in cells of two.

Actually the discipline and safety procedures are quite impressive.

You really can't tell that his finger is on the trigger or not.

ummm...yeah you can...it's inside the trigger gaurd, and I would not
want someone waving that around with their finger in that position. My
grandfather would have a stroke if he saw that sort of behaviour (he
taught me how to shoot).

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:

You can only see flesh at the very bottom of the trigger guard. If
his finger were on the trigger, you'd see flesh out past the trigger
and you don't see that here.

Not necessarily. You can't tell if it's inside the trigger guard or
not. You might be only seeing the top knuckle of his trigger finger.
Or, it could be inside the trigger guard but only the back half which
is clearly behind the trigger.
