It *IS* rather disquieting to see a man willing to KILL for set of old wheels. Anger I can understand, even a beating, but death?
He shoulda shot the tires, I say again.

Big man protecting himself as they sped away like that.

Hello,

What on Earth are you carrying? I don't think I have a single weapon in the whole house that could do this.

I did read that part, Geezer. Also saw the first part that seems to be at odds with that: "... he looked out his window and saw two men hooking his flatbed trailer up to their pickup. He yelled at them to stop, but they sped away, stealing his trailer. He told police he fired two shots at the pickup."

Maybe he time shifted from "looking out his window" and when they "almost ran him over?" I chalked it up to the news source and bad reporting or the old guy being old and pissed and not remembering.

Ah, the Noisy Nagant. Lovely, Brutish, Awful thing. The PSL looks lovely and much more forgiving. I do believe the 7.62x54R would make short work of my KIA's engine block. I'm not entirely sure about the 7.62x39. I wouldn't bet my soul on it.

#9: Mosin-Nagant M44
Speaking of guns without safeties, here's the Mosin-Nagant M44 Carbine from Russia. The Mosin was used by the Russians against the Finns, the Finns against the Russians, the Estonians against the Russians, the Russians against the Russians, and the Russians against the Germans. It does, in fact, have a safety, but it's quite hard to engage. But this is not a complaint one would ever voice in the Red Army. Your officer would reply, "Safety? Safety? Is gun! Meant to kill! No warrior should know he has safety on gun, because he should be killing enemies of homeland! Safety make loud click to aid enemy in locating warriors! No safety!" while pounding his fist on the table.

And the Mosin can kill enemies of homeland. The muzzle blast will vaporize green growth within a few feet of the muzzle, and even if you miss, the enemy will be reduced to shouting "WHAT?" to communicate. You'll need a recoil pad or shooting jacket. Ordinarily, this might be considered unmanly, but this rifle has a short stock for using while wearing several layers of wool for a Russian winter. It is acceptable to wear padding to fire a Mosin.

Of course, there are also M38, 91/30 and other variations of Mosin-Nagant and all are cool. All, also (except the M38), come with a bayonet. Russian doctrine held that the bayonet was mounted except while traveling in a vehicle, because the Russians understood that an empty rifle could still be a pointy stick—a Viking spear. The Russians loved to spear Turks. So, coincidentally, did the Vikings. This rifle sounds better all the time, doesn't it? The Finns used the Mosin as a sniper rifle during the Winter War, and their greatest Sniper was Simo Häyhä, who had 500 confirmed kills in 100 days. This is a man the Finns describe as "modest" and "self-effacing." It's a good thing the Russians didn't run into a Finn who was proud and arrogant. They'd have been wiped out.

It fires a 7.62X54R (for "Rimmed") cartridge, about as powerful as .30-06, and holds the distinction of being in service from 1891 to the present, longer than any other military cartridge. It is still used in Dragunovs, PKMs and other Russian weapons. It's cheap in quantity. So are the rifles, because they were built for (all variations) over 70 years, by Russia, Finland, Poland, Romania, even the US. As I write this, arsenal-new M44s are $55 to $200. At that price, you should have several, so any guests you have during the Collapse can be outfitted as they receive Enlightenment. Then they can rape, kill, sack and loot with the rest of the men who secure a new Dark Ages to hasten the new renaissance. It will be a manly duty.

Did Schweitzer recognize germs and bacteria as "life"? If so, how did he reconcile destroying bacteria to save human life? How does one reconcile destroying plant life or animal life in order to eat? Is mankind - even the most vegan among us - inherently evil?

A bit of research finds Robert Wallace's address as 3749 Sheridan, Wheat Ridge, Colorado. http://weblink.ci.wheatridge.co.us/weblink8/0/doc/132412/Page1.aspx

Google Earth this address and you'll find a small house with a paved lot were a trailer is parked on one side and a driveway on the other.

Look out the window, step out the door, and you're on pavement where folks trying to steal your trailer could easily try to run you over, without you ever being in THE STREET.
