Can’t speak for the other 49 states, but there is very much a Clarksville, Virginia. The Virginia Southern Railroad (service between Oxford, NC and Burkeville, Va) Is owned by a holding company named Genesse & Wyoming, Inc.
The Oxford/Burkeville connection is listed as out of service, so imaginative minds may feel free to formulate their own plans for that section of track.
We’ve got a Clarksville in North Texas, too. I’ve driven through it a number of times when my husband and I were on our way to Tennessee to visit our oldest son and his family.
“Firing guns when you’re pregnant is not good, Sam.”
1. Avoid lead exposure. Wash your hands and have someone else clean your guns.
2. The baby’s hearing doesn’t develop until the second trimester, so after that use a suppressor.
Sam, nekid target practice, YES!
Oh, and use a suppressor always!
Anyone have experience with a suppressor on a wheelie? I think it could do something, but am curious if it can make it to hearing safe levels.
And just to be clear, I luvs my S&W hammerless airweight in .22WMR, 7 rounds in a package that can be forgotten in a Kramer pocket holster it’s so light.
Oh, and ain’t it great that the arbitrary ban on carrying in a Post Office has been determined to be unconstitutional? Hopefully the trend will continue on through the rest of the unconstitutional acts throughout this land. 🙂
Funny the courts had to point out that the people own federal buildings, not the politicians, that should be grounds for dropping most of the J6 ‘charges.
Suppressors on revolvers don’t do squat. All the noise still comes out the cylinder gap. Except, of course, for the rare-ish Webley-Fosbury, which seals its own cylinder gap.
Nearly half of the triggering Post Office incidents were disgruntled employees settling arguments with their bosses… a poor excuse indeed for oppressing armed customers.
That gap (even though it’s tiny) between the cylinder and the barrel on a revolver makes a suppressor pretty much a moot point. My .45 Colt Ruger Blackhawk with my 300 grain hard cast handloads in it throws a sheet of flame several inches sideways that’s visible at dusk or after dark, and the cylinder gap is only .002 inches!
“Cylinder gap on a revolver renders silencer useless?”
Centerfires yes. But not for 22lr it doesn’t…that’s what make’s a 4″ wheelie (snubs are way louder out the barre) l with a rubber baby nipple over the barrel the tool of choice for certain “contractors”.
When this was told to me by an old Chicago cop many years ago I thought it was BS so I’ve actually done a basic dB test comparing about a dozen handguns using the nipple…doesn’t work on autos or do much with big cals, but that .22 configuration for whatever reason cut the sound carry in half or less, a muffled *pop* easy to ignore in a crowd, so a double tap to the brain stem, toss that gat in a canal, and collect your evil ochre.
A nipple may work once, but it seems like the first “tap” would make a hole, so the second “tap” would be as loud as usual.

ULTRA-MAGA TOP DAWG JTC
You might think so but not…The material by its nature has a resealing effect presumably to help with nursing. What it does for the muzzle blast is close back up so that a visual (and an audible) test shows no difference after the first round is fired. Would eventually I guess but not with two rounds and that is its usable if macabre life expectancy. Surprising, as was the whole idea that it works at all, but it does…do a test for yourself and let us know!

Sam has always been one of the HOTTEST pregnant women anywhere, real or fictional. I have always noticed that women really do glow while pregnant.

We’ll meet you at the station.
You can be there by 4:30
Are you sure you’re not looking to catch the 3:10 to Yuma?
A wheel gun is appropriate for shooting with what they are wearing/not wearing.

The kid who maintains the dawgs probably has ideas for it.
Clarksville, TN, is just south of the home of the 101st Airborne in Oak Grove, KY.
Tennersee’s got one, but it’s damn near in Kaintuck.

That upper word balloon in the first panel is in the way, damn it!
You beat me to it. My thoughts exactly…

Wait!…..What!!?
There’s been a ban on carrying in the post orifice?
Well, bless my soul! And all this time…….

with the FEEBs being told to “Solve” the DD problem, a sudden BAM! in the middle of a phone conversation is maybe ……ominous.
Dig, drop, forget.
The Four Esses:
Suppress
Shoot
Shovel
Shut Up
There may be a “pop” quiz later.
I worried it wasn’t her that fired…

As this meme goes … no thanks, I’ll keep my car and guns.

I got a feeling that Sam didn’t fire that shot.
I went to Clarksville for my entrance physical to the Military. Well, not exactly… Fort Campbell, KY. I passed.
It’d be nice if that .22 revolver/bottle nipple trick worked AT LEAST for a full cylinder….
Did I miss a trip?
To where?!
