Yes, the Judge looked down on as a defensive weapon. Too heavy and bulky for most people to effectively conceal, the large jump from the .45 Colt case to the barrel compromises effectiveness, and the stubby, rifled barrel destroy any semblance of usefulness with a shotshell.

According to the linked article, this is officially a short-barreled shotgun (SBS) according to the ATF. With a short enough, smoothbore barrel, it could get by as an AOW, changing the $200 tax stamp (aka "scary gun transfer fee") to a $5 stamp, much like Serbu Super Shorty. Either way, I doubt it would be allowed for importation as it lacks a "sporting purpose" as determined by anti-gun bureaucrats, and I don't see Taurus open a manufacturing facility in the US just for this, uh, thing.

Look at CO. Cocaine is an appetite suppressant. At the negative connotation of your stat isn't 'crackhead'.

Also, I'm moving to Kentucky, because I love America, and ALL of it's rights. Feel free to join me. Or do you admit you hate America?

I'm not a baseball fan. An NFL version I'd do well on.

Not too bad. I got the cars backwards, and missed the "Champagne of Beer" and cigarettes (I'm 25 and a non-smoker. I had no chance).

"I always imagined it would be a joint venture, not next-door competing eateries."

Mario's is a bakery. Luigi's is a kebab joint (though they serve other food as well, I'm told). Not much in the way in the way of direct competition, unless some kid can't decide between cake or birthday kebabs (which may or may not have come up when I lived there).

You only need to change 3 things to make an airsoft gun a real one:
1. Barrel
2. Upper receiver
3. Lower receiver

I bet I know exactly what happened. Some customs agent thought he found a bunch of illegal guns, called BATFE to get a bunch of kudos for blowing the whistle, BATFE took everything, realized they really were toys, then made the "conversion" comment to justify it rather than admit their mistake.

"It wasn’t until the 1828 biography of Christopher Columbus by Washington Irving (the same man that created The Legend of Sleepy Hollow) that this myth was born."

THAT Irving, Alex

Not bad for an apathetic agnostic.

Shark's jaws are made of bone, and can be fossilized.

Short explanation about the iron pillar: some of the compounds in the iron form an extremely thin film when they corrode, which acts as a barrier, preventing oxygen from reaching and corroding the iron. It's the same basic concept as stainless steel (which, like all steel, is nearly all iron). In the case of the pillar, it's probably just dumb luck that it happened, or possibly trial and error after seeing it happen to other pieces of iron, even if they didn't really know why it worked.

Only guessed wrong once, apparently.
