June 29, 2007

I don’t suppose anyone out there knows where I could find some surplus .38/200? The British load for the .38 S&W cartridge? I tried Old Western Scrounger and they didn’t have anything, so I’m turning to you. -

In Utah, at least. A 59-year-old truck driver was sliced in the neck as he fought to get a gun away from a Utah prisoner who had dashed into an Arby’s after the fatal shooting of a guard. The abbreviated version of the story is that some absolute mutant of a convict out for...
