A portion does, but there are decent concerned people (a remnant, so to speak, like Jesse Peterson). But h’mm... “threatening to them” to the extent that the rest of the community keeps largely silent out of fear or apathy? Iow a black culture war.
Yes, You have a point. Doubtless there are many folks terrorized by those in the ‘black community’ who like and benefit from the drugs-n-thugs culture.
Sometimes one may wish to transport or store an unloaded firearm along with a loaded magazine. If the number of rounds one will want in the gun once it's loaded is equal to the number that fit in a magazine, the firearm and the fully-loaded magazine would represent two items one would have to handle. Adding another round would be a third item.
A more interesting question is why people carried six shooters with five rounds in them, rather than having a "parking notch" so the hammer could sit between chambers until the firearm needed to be readied for use. Until the gun is cocked for the first round, the hammer would sit between chambers rather than on a primer. Once the gun was fired, the hammer would be sitting on a spent primer. I know North American Arms uses such notches on their mini-revolvers, but it would have seemed an obvious improvement 100 years before.
I know that on my Luger I could with some effort load an extra round into the magazine but a magazine with the extra round wouldn't fit with the action closed; it would fit with the action open, but wouldn't feed very well. I suspect that was just a result of a magazine with a tiny bit more space than usual, and that it wasn't designed to hold that many rounds, but the magazine would probably only had to have been 1mm or so longer to actually hold an extra round usefully in such fashion that it could be used to charge an empty weapon with one more round than normal.
supercat: I know that on my Luger I could with some effort load an extra round into the magazine but a magazine with the extra round wouldn't fit with the action closed;...
Come on, this is abuse of the mechanism, not designed use of the magazine. Exactly what I said -- this is not a gun designed as stipulated above.
With all due respect, your answer is not an answer. It would hep you to gain more respect by capitulating on this.
I fear Central Florida is the place where Casey Anthony can let her child die unreported, go out and party for weeks, then lie to the police and FBI and get away with everything scot free! ... while Zimmerman - who by a reasonable doubt was defending himself from being killed - will be sent up the river for political correctness!
That will signal an end to Constitutional justice in the country and verify 'social justice' as the new law of the land. Then you and I will be somewhere down that list of prosecutable miscreant peasants.
What Zimmerman said he heard Martin say would be hearsay if anyone not a “first person” to that comment (Zimmerman, Martin, or anyone within earshot of the comment) was to attempt to testify to it. Conversely, Rachael was testifying as to what she heard Martin say - she was first person to those comments by Martin, she directly heard him say it. For example, Racheal’s mother couldn’t testify that Rachael heard xyz from Martin - that would be hearsay as she wasn’t a “first person” to hearing Martin say xyz. She heard it from another party. Hearsay.
I’m not aware of the status of the Serino interviews.
And you’re a fool.
“What was Skittles so paranoid about, huh?”
I’ll tell you one true life event.
My father was a civilian Martin-Marietta serving the Mace missile maintenance directed from Kadena AB, Okinawa. We were originally from Baltimore, Maryland. Every three years we returned to the US both for vacation and citizenship requirements.
While in Maryland we stayed with relatives living in Essex row houses. One day, I went for a walk.
I sensed someone was following me. I knew someone was tracking me.
I turned to confront my shadow, ready to fight.
Turned out my shadow was my next younger brother playing kid brother games.
Zimmerman should have stayed in his car and just observed till the police arrived.
Dontcha think Zimmerman wishes that was what he did? Report . . . wait . . . watch.
Don’t think so but you are entitled to your opinion.
Thanks,
But what motivated Zimmerman to get out of his car and confront someone doing nothing more than wandering over his volunteer territory?
He called in the alert to the police.
What do police across the country teach volunteer Neighbor Watch and Cellular On Patrol volunteers?
Sad but true.
Decades ago at the end of my street, horses and cattle grazed.
Now . . . John Jay High School . . . is the school of thugs and ethnic strife.
Maybe somebody from John JaY might point to why would anybody might be proud to graduate from John Jay?
First, list gang affiliations.
The most repeated quote is what . . .?
Truth?
Proven?
Fact?
Get a life.
Am I a bitch or just bitchn’t?
I’m both. Want to talk to me, start.
Don’t.
Just starting to apply online for social security.
Truth, proven, and fact. There’s a recording of it. You want to know exactly what was said? Listen to it. Want to know what the intent behind the phrase was? Listen to the testimony of the guy who said it.
Sometime truth IS objective and knowable.
Are you for real? You sound like a meme from the Martin crowd. You say, “Zimmerman should have stayed in his car and just observed till the police arrived.”
Well, pal, he was going back to his car when he got sucker punched by St. Skittles. We now know that was just an azz whoopin’. Or, haven’t you heard the latest from Ms. Jeantel?
