Did it have the requisite 13 loops?

Of course. It's not a noose without 13 loops!

Never learned to use a lariat or lasso in my native Bronx...my uncle received the noose painted red from a disgruntled tenant he was evicting from one of his buildings. I carefully reverse engineered it. My Vaqueros are made by Sturm Ruger and I pack them proudly at Cowboy Action Shoots. yippee ki yo ki yay Youse Guys. (In lieu of MF)

There have been so many of these fake noose stories that I don’t even pay attention anymore. They are so obviously hoaxes but the liberal media treat them as actual racist incidents. They don’t report that they are hoaxes when the perpetrator is discovered.

I saw a photo of the “noose”. It was a joke! I use those to tie up a busted bail of hay to take to the horses!

It doesn’t take much to stir the pot on a campus anymore!

I knew why the moment I read the words 'noose' and 'campus' together in the same sentence back when this story was first reported.

Whomever was one of the loudest activists photographed at the demonstration over the 'discovery' of the noose yet today can no longer be found on campus -- there's your guilty party.

This story dries up and blows away today. You'll never hear about it again, like it never happened in the first place.

A straight lariat loop makes them live longer and dance the jig. Thirteen wraps and a loop kills too quick.

OK, was there a threatening Note found next to the Noose?

Is it Illegal to make a Noose nowadays?

Did the Gay Guys that hung an Effigy of Sarah Palin hanging by a Noose off the roof of their House years ago get arrested for a Crime?

Has this Country gone insane?

I have a blued 7.5” bbl Redhawk .44mag with grooves for Ruger rings. I used it for deer hunting a few years and took two does with it. Never did use the scope rings. I found I could hand load (safely) my old style Vaqueros (.45colt) as hot or hotter than .44mag, plus the single action vaquero with 5.5” bbl was about a pound lighter than the redhawk. I have 2 vaqueros. One with a standard grip one with a bisley grip. I carry the one with the bisley grip. It handles it better.

13 wrap noose will make those being killed, dance a jig every bit as much as a lasso loop if they just kick a horse out from under them. It is the trap door with a sufficient free fall length of rope that snaps the neck especially with the aforementioned 13 loop noose.

An old (and older) friend and I got hooked up a couple years ago after not being in contact for almost 30 years.

He was always a serious firearms guy and still is.

I have always had weapons for hunting and plinking, grew up that way, and only in recent years began to look into self-defense, CCWs and so on.

My friend has many, many firearms, mostly older stuff, and likes to sell a couple and buy a couple pretty regularly. When he came to visit he brought his S & W 629 .44 mag along.

I have owned a few revolvers but never really knew much about any of them, and never had any extra money, ever. But he and I talked and shot all week and of course I started thinking.

I gotta say that instinctively I was/maybe am a Ruger kind of guy. Stout, solid, reliable and in some ways, in some calibers, magnificent, if you don’t mind my saying.

I would say to my friend: Why would I want to buy a snazzbo expensive early S & W, with all their modes and dashes, if I can buy a failsafe Ruger and be done with it?

He is a smart guy and he quoted Wm Ruger to that same effect: “When I make a firearm I do it right the first time.”

But that S & W stuff is infectious. Like a virus. All the names and lore and the variations on the models-—once you look into it it’s hard to turn away. Or it was for me anyhow.

So I still have Rugers which I prize and, on a daily basis, entrust with my life. But I’ve gone a long way into the S & W research too, probably longer and farther than I should have.

Getting to know your way around Smith & Wessons is a little like going to college. You gradually learn the a few lessons but you have to keep writing checks to do it lol.

Pleased to hear your stories, glad to make your acquaintance. Good shooting to you!

p.s. Oh I was going to tell you, my good buddy who got me into the Smith & Wesson maze wrote just a couple weeks ago that he had just picked up a Ruger Bisley single-action (right now I can’t remember if it’s a .44 or the long colt).

“Back to the fundamentals,” he wrote me.

My first S&W wheel gun was a model 19 .357. I loved it. Then I went and gave it away to my oldest son. Love S&W. Dad who is gone now, carried an original .38 special M&P (pre model 10) as a cop in the NYPD for 22 years. He did not keep it and when he retired in 68. I wish he had. I own a couple of 1890 made S&W pocket topbreak 5 shot revolvers in .38 S&W. Fun little gambler guns.

Later

'Not only have far more whites than blacks been lynched throughout American history'

I'd like to see those numbers for reference. I had always thought it was blacks, then mexicans that were lynched in pure numbers. I know whites were lynched, but they represent the most out of all?

They teach you how to tie a noose in Boy Scouts. Just in case you need to lynch some gays or something. /sarc
