I thought it was a pistol but I wasn’t sure. A wounded wild animal always needs to be put down just to be humane. Is Elmer still with us?
Sadly, no.
Elmer Merrifield Keith (March 8, 1899 – February 12, 1984) was an Idaho rancher, firearms enthusiast, and author. Keith was instrumental in the development of the first magnum revolver cartridge, the .357 Magnum, as well as the later .44 Magnum and .41 Magnum cartridges.
Quite a trifecta. he also used to promote the use of the .338 against elk, in part because bullets back then were less reliable, and the extra bullet size compensated for less than reliable expansion.
My coworker fled Silicon Valley 2 years ago and loves his new Texas home, and his second amendment rights. He shutters to think about still living there, yet that is his long childhood home. Hopefully, Colorado is mostly getting the liberal hypocrites that can’t stick it out living in the “social justice” they created in California. Texas is too rough for nancy-boys anyway.
Bingo!
I had no idea he was that old born 1889 died 1984. Last I read anything about him was the early 70’s. He was a cool cat.
Thanks for the ping!
Isn’t it ironic?
We take millions into our military, teach them to shoot & defend themselves & kill an enemy.
Then when they get out of the military, everything we have paid them to learn is now illegal???
The blowback is coming. Sooner than we realize.
A word to Obama & Jerry Brown: PAYBACK is a BITCH!!!!!
No clue. The stocks and mags have been on back-order for MONTHS
Shooting people who wear the wrong color clothes has always been illegal outside active military actions.
Nothing new.
