TAM -- you DO realize the phrase was "high powered", not "high caliber", right?The Annoyed Man wrote:Almost any article written these days, even in Texas, describes any Glock (or pretty much any other carry gun) as "High Caliber." I still don't know what that means—beyond it being clear cut evidence of a drama queen reporter overly enamored with the sound and utterance of their own deluded vocabulary. Evidently, the writers have never heard of a .600 Nitro Express, or a .375 H&H Magnum, compared to which a 9mm or .45 ACP are pretty small potatoes.RoyGBiv wrote:High-powered.!!! That cracks me up.
What a namby-pamby article. Sounds like Mike Bloomberg wrote it himself.
Does anybody have a clear definition (outside of the gun-grabbing media) of what "High Caliber" means? If so, please enlighten me.

I hope they don't allow them to room with any of the swimmers, because OMG, the swimmers might touch a high powered shotgun!

Re: Oh my God - A picture of guns
Ok, a number of thoughts....
1) WHERE did they find a gun store in California?
2) Ausies can't count -- they are holding FOUR guns, not three (Perhaps they aren't counting the revolver as 'high power'?)
3) Ausies speak weird -- "The lawyer of the man he punched was surprisingly surprised at D'Arcy's current brush with infamy." Surprisingly Surprised?? Learn that in Journalism Class?
4) Looks like they need some training in muzzle and trigger control.
