I would be willing to bet there are guns in your state. I don't think any state has a grandfather provision as yet. You just think you are gun free.
Earnest, I like your article on the Nazis. That is why we fight any kind of national database for gun registry. Once they know where they all are at, it just takes one little law for them to take them.

Yes... ribbed. I think it's a 24 or 26" barrel. I am currently looking for an 18.5" open choke for defensive stuff. I am also thinking of getting a rifled barrel for slugs. That would make it a pretty versatile little shoot-gun. Although, the saboted slugs are, um... pricey. About $3 each...
I'm thinking about getting a loading press, and experimenting. That would be the equivalent of a 60 caliber rifle... big and slow.

Well....I fly from St. Louis to either Dallas, L.A. or San Francisco (the three main jump points to Sydney.....the flight times are...
From Dallas to Sydney is right at 17 hours non-stop
From L.A. to Sydney is about 13 hours
From San Francisco is about 14.5 to 15 hours
I like the Dallas flight....they carry more cargo and the planes have less people due to weight and I usually have clear seats or maybe a whole 3 seat row to myself and can stretch out....
Qantas is who I fly with and American is the code share partner.....so American to Dallas from St. Louis and then Qantas from Dallas.....fly an A-380 airbus which has a wing span 4 feet short of 100 yards HAHAH carries 330,000 liter of fuel in the wings HAH
2 in flight meals (dinner and breakfast) your choice of three options for each
Snacks, drinks of every flavor (soft drinks, wine, cordial (AU KOOLAID) water, juice coffee, tea, mixed drinks etc)
Snack bar back of plane get what you want
EVERYTHING free on the flight
I highly recommend going bro.....you and your wife would love it.....excellent food, people are nice as, so many things to do and see....stay at least 2 weeks....three or more is better because they are 15 hours ahead of us so it takes a few days to get your biological clock assimilated.....I love it........for sure consider it my second home.

yes, I still don't like to completely strip down a cap and ball revolver and have heard of an "el-cheapo" method of taking the wood off, and putting it in the ammo can (they are liquid proof)
of mineral spirits and leaving it there till you want to shoot again, then taking it out and hosing it down with brake cleaner, and not the new, improved environmentally safe stuff, but the old noxious chemical stuff that really works, lubing it up and shooting it.
I have heard in the Civil War the officers would take the wood off and boil them till clean , them lube them up with olive oil.

Yes... hot soapy water is still the best way to get the residue out of a black powder firearm. You just need to oil it well after it dries out.
I used to remove the barrel from my .54 cal and put the breech end in a 5 gal bucket about half full with hot soapy water. I'd run a cleaning rod with a patch on it down the bore, then pump it up and down about 15 times. It would pull the water up the bore an clean it out, and the hot water would heat up the metal so that it dried out pretty quickly after running dry patches through it to dry out the bore. That process worked really well.
