Actually, OSH had both railroad and flower calendars this year. I have one of the RR versions. When I went in, they had both available. They always seem to not have them until about the 2nd week in Jan., and then run out very quickly after that. That is in the West Los Angeles store.
Since they now carry Craftsmen tools, there's always something I can buy...

... the particular photographer is one that comes to mind.
I think that would be "birdshot". Of course you maybe right.Cheney may prefer to hunt birds with buckshot, you know .........shock and awe and all that. Bruce
prefer to hunt birds with buckshot, you know < A couple of questions. First is that in many states lead shot is not allowed so was the load in Dick's gun steel? Second the news reported his gun as a 28 gauge. While I have a 410 I'm not aware of a 28 gauge shotgun. I do know that bird shot is probably available in any bore size including a
22!
It's slightly smaller than a 20 gauge - bore a little over 1/2 inch, compared to a 20 ga being over 5/8 inch - but substantially larger than a .410 (which for a change is known by its actual bore measurement, rather than how many round balls of that bore could be made from a pound of lead) which would be somewhere around a 68 gauge.
So a 28 ga is not as common as a 12 or 20 ga; when I was a kid there were a fair number of 16 ga shotguns around, but they're relatively uncommon these days, too.
A 28 ga might be considered a little wimpy, but then what do you expect from a gang that avoided combat, if not military service altogether in Cheney's case, while becoming expert in accusing others of being "soft on defense"?
Steve, I understand 28 gauge is excellent for a load of chickenshot. Bruce
Well, there's certainly a lot of that in Tejas.
A 28 gauge is a finesse gun... it's no wonder Steve isn't familiar with it.
Steve Caple spake thus:
Hey, remember Johnny Winter?
"There's so much s*it in Texas, you're bound to step in some."
Q: What's the difference between Dan Quayle & Dick Cheney? A: When Quayle was vice president he only shot his own mouth off.
Dick Cheney by his own admission "had better things to do" than go into the US military during the Vietnam War. So he received no firearms training from the US military. He seems to be a quick study however, he's already learned how to shoot friends and allies.
Unfortunately its spread out all over the county.
Naaah, sorry, by that logic we'll be calling Livorno "Leghorn" - something only a bunch of pig ignorant arrogant Royal Navy types could have come up with. Never too late to broaden your horizons.
