T'was merely a joke.

T'was hard to tell since I was not the only one to comment on your post.

Obviously there is intimidation going on and this freaking trial is taking too long.

Accident time says I.

Maybe let some kid who lost his parents to this thug 'sneak' a nine past the guards and get up close and personal.

Viola. Case dismissed. New national hero.

Speaking of nines, the U.S. forces are going back to .45 as the standard (not 1911); nines do not hit hard enough.

I didn't say it was a good joke.

And I get that in real life a lot too. I will admit that my sense of sarcasm is often entirely too dry and many people don't catch it.


Such is my burden.

...funny how combat reality messes up board room theory.

Of course, if they REALLY wanted to hit hard with a sidearm...

Yup, I think that's exactly what is going on. But I think it's more for the Iraqi people than the world. To show tham that they do have a choice.

Sarcasm rarely works on the forums. Not enough context and no facial expression. Hense, our wonderful admin gave us the smiley.

Yeah, but a .50AE would be too much for most. And a DE is a bit heavy.

Heck, most don't like the recoil from a .44 Rem Mag.

The FBI had to cut back from a 10mm to the .40 S&W because the female agents could not handle the recoil from the 10mm.
