Re: The Great Pistol Theft

I had a single action army Colt which was factory nickel plated. The original wood grips had dried out and shrunk, so I fitted modern imitation pearl grips. We called it my "chad valley" gun after a well known toy maker. It didn't look real, but it won every single action competition at Bisley over the years, NPA meeting, Historic Arms meeting and the Trafalgar. I couldn't bear to have it destroyed so I gave it to Jim Hallam to sell for me, but he could not get it into the USA. Earlier this year, Jim contacted me to say that he owed me money as he had finally mamged to sell it. It is now legally in use again----in Northern Ireland!

Criminal theft! The inherent stupidity of the masses is mind boggling!

The Criminals now have guns but the Citizens dont!
Our police are hamstrung to the point of stupidity and we have the loons driven the agenda!
The 2011 Riots are the first of many! Mark my words!

Yet the moderate political mass remains mute because the recipe here when someone queries the status quo or dissents is to destroy their life in gutter press and quasi legal bulls&*^(%t! :cool2:

The crazy run the asylum!
