Nearly half the nation are convicted felons for victimless non-violent offenses who are PERMANENTLY BANNED from possessing a firearm or even a single bullet, for life! (Example; DUI offenses without an accident!) The ETERNAL felony is based on what could have happened rather than what actually did happen! (Ironically, they still have voting rights!) GUN RIGHTS need to be BANNED from everyone and not just NON-VIOLENT white-collar offenders! VOTE to PERMANENTLY BAN GUN RIGHTS, MADD, and the NRA for fairness in EQUALITY ... (If non-violent felons can't have 2nd amendment rights, then nobody should!)

Jerry has it all, Humility, talent, skill, the ability to articulate superbly, and the perpetual student mind set. All this and more!

My one gun for my childhood was a Rem 12ga pump 870 Wingmasted pawn store gun. I got a slug barrel one Christmas, and that increased my hunting distance to a good 125yds or so. Before that I was shooting round ball reloads out to 75yds. You had to be good at stealthfull movement and concealment. The same gun was my turkey, coyote, dove, rabbit, squirrel gun. I am 60 now and still have that gun.

"One gun for the rest of your life?" About 30 - 40 years ago, Skeeter Skelton wrote an article about that question. After extolling the virtues of the .30-06, the .357 Magnum and several others, he ended the article with a huge surprise: a .22 L.

I carry daily everywhere but the courthouse and the hospital (prohibited places), 2. Always have it with me, even working on my neighbor's ranch, 3. Will drop anything where I live.

Maybe a 12 gauge - slugs for big game, bird shot for birds and home defense. But I can't conceal any rifle or shotgun. Ugh... back to the .357 or ?????

I've always considered the .357 as the pistol cartridge equivalent of the .30'06. It will do anything you can reasonably expect from a pistol cartridge, the recoil is manageable for most people, with practice, and it's very versatile.

TK Custom altered the cylinder to accept their stainless steel moon clips and the TK Custom 45 ACP moon clip can hold and shoot 45 Super, 460 Rowland, and 45 Winchester magnum cartridges.

Master Miculek is always a breath of fresh air. Thank you! "Snuffy Senior" is a S&W "N" Frame .357 Mag.4" barrel, marked "Highway Patrolman" with Pachmyr Grip. Its been my bedside, hunting side-arm, target and casual shooter for over 30 years. I'm now 75 years old and I still find it comfortable to shoot with cheap.38 Special or hot magnum reloads.

Glad to see that Jerry agrees with what I have been saying for years. The only difference is I use a 20 gauge. Taking everything up to a black bear one 16th of an inch shy of Boone Crockett and then down to doves rabbits. Just get Appropriate ammo for what you’re doing. If you put it were supposed to go it work. And my handguns are all 357 magnum or 38. Usually I use 38. But it works to get the job done. It worked for us in law enforcement back in the 70s just fine

On cold winter morning, here in Florida so temp was in the 40's, I picked up a young man that was only 18 who was working for me. I was driving my dump truck, a 1979 Chevy C-70 and I had rolled down the windows because it didn't have a working defroster. When I left his house and we got out on the main road, I rolled my window up. I noticed he was shivering and I asked him if he really liked to freeze, why didn't he roll up the window. He looked at me with all seriousness and said "the window's broke, there's no buttons to roll it up!" He had never been in a vehicle with manual windows! I can't argue with Jerry's logic on the one gun to have but as a Rifleman at heart, I hope I'm never limited to just a shotgun! Jerry's a great guy, I had the chance to meet him briefly at a shot show and he just is a genuine good guy!
