He has some other good videos on the subject too. Maybe even better than that one. The guy is a breath of fresh air!

[TigersEye]

Yes, it does! :-)

I’m still trying to figure out what a ‘nest round’ is. ;^)

What a self-righteous, sanctimonious limosine-liberal fool.

Leonard Pitts is a "professional black". This requires him to be a "self-righteous, sanctimonious limousine liberal fool" in order to earn his salary from the liberal establishment he works for.

It's a very exclusive plantation reserved for the most talented buck dancers.

A runaway explains it better than I can.

You've got the right idea.

That’s what I thought,LOL.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

Yikes.

I’m still trying to figure out what a ‘nest round’ is

That's just how someone talks after several rounds of drinks.

For instance: "Okey-dokey ossifer, what's nest?

Officer Wizekreik: “We usually call it a ‘cell’ but since you’re going to be a jailbird you can call it a nest if you like.”

Jammed?

One problem with these tiny Kel-tecs is they’re so small that if you don’t hold them tightly, the recoil could jam the next round.

My amex card is the Kel-tec .380 loaded with hollow points. It’s made in FL, guaranteed for life. And you don’t even know it’s in your pocket. But you have to hold it extra tight because it’s so small.

[TigersEye]

I was corrected on that. It didn't "jam" what it did was it "didn't cycle."

There can be a number of causes for a failure to cycle such as your suggestion or a hand on the slide fighting for control of the weapon or something getting caught between the returning slide, bolt and barrel. That could be clothing, a finger, the just spent case, the next round out of the magazine or a number of other things. In this case we can rule out the next round because the magazine was found with only one round missing.

I guess if the obstructing object doesn't remain caught in the mechanism it doesn't count as a "jam."

the Martin young man was killed by a stereotype...his own....he lived up to every single stereotype of many young men of his age and his race....

kicked out of school....no job...foul mouthed....obscene...and violent...

stop this behavior and you stop the stereotype....
