Because the law previously set prohibiting lawful concealed carry as the default. Now the default is to allow concealed carry unless explicitly forbidden.
I wholeheartedly agree with your take on the issue of character references to establish "good moral character". However, when it comes to...
I don't cast myself but have tried many cast bullets. I got a batch of Hi Teks that leaded the barrel of one of my revolvers horribly. I figured out they were too big and guessed that the coating was coming off as each bullet squeezed through the cylinder. I pan lubed the batch and that totally...
If you eat them regularly for any period of time, you will poop out a rock. On the bright side, if you receive oncoming fire, you probably won't be capable of crapping your pants.
I hope to get a couple of chances to take my muzzleloader out to get my first deer with it. I only took it afield once in the 2½ years I've had it. I used to shoot hardcast 255 gr .45 SWCs in a .50 cal sabot over 80 gr of fffg Triple Se7en. Accuracy was good, but I'd get bad fliers every so...
The old joke used to go that:
In heaven the police are British, the cooks are French, the lovers are Italian, the mechanics are German, and everything is organized by the Swiss.
But in hell, the police are German, the cooks are British, the lovers are Swiss, the mechanics are French, and...
Like was said, slow twist rate barrels won't stabilize sabots well. 1:66 is slow, 1:48 is medium, and it's unlikely to have a faster twist than that. If it's 1:48, it'll potentially shoot sabots well, and will likely shoot patched round balls well. If it's 1:66 it should shoot ball very well but...

Getting started with patched round balls, I bought pre-lubed patches. The good thing about them is that they sell the patches in fixed thicknesses so I bought 0.490" balls for my .50 cal muzzleloader and used a 0.015" patch for a tight fit. I also didn't...
