Re: Saudi starts an oil price war, OPEC in shambles

Re: The Boy Scouts Filing Bankruptcy After A String Of “Woke” Decisions Caused It To Go Broke

Wall Street Journal also discussed this and I am a big fan of the Boy Scouts but the reason that they may be facing bankruptcy is declining numbers as well as lawsuits from sexual abuse allegations. The lawsuits are probably the main reason. Yes, this seems to be the main issue, and it goes back de...

Re: Got a light bearing holster today, and...

Well, it has to have an opening large enough for the light, which is probably considerably wider than the trigger guard.

Iran ignores limits on uranium enrichment. Forges ahead on weapons grade uranium production.

Re: The war with Iran

Saddam Hussein led a minority Sunni government. The majority if Iraqi’s are Shia. It seems that Iran has essentially taken, or is on the verge of taking, control of the Iraqi government.

No, I believe the 342pd is chambered in .38 Special. I am looking for the .32 H&R Magnum 432pd.
