Why Nashville Had No Looters during the recent flooding By the way I DO NOT condone drinking and the handling of weapons! For those of you who know me out there know that to be the truth. Ride hard you can rest when you die
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a
pretty and well preserved body but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly
used up totally worn out and loudly proclaiming man what a ride!

I can't tell for sure but it looks like the guy to the left of the sign is holding one nasty looking .44 Magnum.
i'm surprised there is no scope on it
It almost looks like a damned Buntline Special in .44.
It's a Ruger Super Redhawk
Mit Skope
Mit Skope My young hunting buddy couldn't wait to go handgun hunting in Maryland as soon as he acquired his Super Redhawk. He is an experienced hunter with shotgun and bow, but, he clearly made a mistake going alone on his maiden voyage with handgun. I say this because he came home and told me that no sooner than he set up his tent he saw a large buck trotting across the field perhaps 100 yds away, so, he snatched the revolver from the shoulder rig and rapid fired double action six-count em-six shots of full house magnum loads with no ear plugs at a deer that was angling away, and well out of range for iron sights on a handgun. I told him the truth when he asked if his hearing would ever be the same. I also explained that when hunting deer with a handgun, one hopes to take careful aim with a cocked revolver at a range of about 35 yds or less, and carefully touch off a well placed shot to effect a humane kill. One does not ever fire in the general direction of a critter at ranges where shot placement is but a dream, because it's too easy to maim animals that escape and die under a bush somewhere. Yes, I know it's possible for experienced handgunners to take deer out to 125 yds with a scoped handgun, shooting an adequate caliber from a solid rest at a deer that presents a good target. (If you can put your shot in a saucer then take it-his Redhawk was new and he was a poor handgunner who couldn't hit a school bus while standing and firing double action with no rest at that range) I don't condone the spray and pray method with any hunting firearm and I'd certainly never fire big bore magnums without ear protection. I didn't have to punish him, though. He had already done that. No one ever told him that handgun hunting is a specialized discipline like bow hunting, and one uses greater skill to succeed with fewer target opportunities. He assumed that it's quite normal to fire six .44 mags at a running deer on the other end of a football field (good grief-I feel silly just writing that) and he didn't understand that experienced handgunners take deer with single shot handguns (like a Thompson Contender for instance) by waiting for the right shot and using the same scent control and camo skills as bow hunters. Unlike rifles and slug guns few handguns have the requisite 1,000 ft lbs of muzzle energy at extended ranges, and therefore the shot must be placed with surgical precision to minimize suffering and quickly bag the critter. This chap hunts with 12ga slugs the same way but they usually bring his running deer down because of the slugs' devastating shock power, and his shots are usually at much closer ranges. (We hunt pretty thick cover in DE) When he bagged his first deer with a rifle (a .308-also in MD) he told me later that he heard my voice in his head, telling him to "take a breath and let it out, take another and stop exhaling half way, and squeeze the trigger so slowly that you don't know when the sear engagement is going to break." He did and the doe took two steps and started to wobble, then fell over. He stepped off two hundred yards and she had a tiny entrance hole and a blowout on the opposite side where her heart was. I realized too late that because I don't hunt with a handgun he didn't ask my (or anyone else's) advice, and now as he gets older he needs to work on his lip reading skills.
An interesting cautionary tale. I'm sold. It also reminded me of my 2nd Cousin in Montana - fed his family with his rifle. He WOULD NOT shoot unless he had a clear head shot. He did not leave animals to suffer and die huddled under some bush or tree. It is a lesson I have never forgotten.
My gun dealer in CA once told me to "fear the man who has but one gun"-like those pro hunting guides who carry the same rifle for years and know exactly where it will put a bullet a varying ranges, a man who relies on his rifle to feed and defend himself and his family is not likely to miss....or waste precious ammo on a warning shot.

Reminds me of my old man. He did not miss - ever. If he shot it was on target - always. He had one and only one preference - Springfield Model 1903A1. Even his brothers, all good shots themselves, were in awe of him.
