A medical examiner can say something to the like that based on the amount of blood found at the scene that there was enough blood loss to cause death. But that does not mean that someone is dead…it is entirely possible the person is still alive. In the above scenario, a grand jury would make the ...

pt145ss I thought facts were not facts until a trier of facts (a jury) says it is a fact. This is at least what has been argued so vigoursly on this forum Without a jury, it can be established as a fact that there is a dead body. Based on statements and evidence, the jury determines [concludes] if ...

But I think everyone would agree that the Ranier is an inexpensively constructed bullet suitable only for practice and plinking. It should never be considered for defensive purposes. :iagree: Expanding a little on Mike1951s comments: Even with gas checks, a cast bullet can't be driven to the same v...

That is, unless you're being attacked by water-jug zombies. :lol: Monarch is fine for practice, but for your self defense ammo, go with Gold Dot, Hydra Shok or somethi...

I'm praying for you and your wife too, Keith. See you Friday.
