Good, sensible, thought out stuff.

I also had my semi-auto test-fired by a buddy at the county police years ago to get the ballistics results on file, in the event it was somehow lost or stolen, and used in a crime for tracing purposes.  My revolver was already on file, since it had be stolen once and recovered.  Used to keep the make, model and manufacturer numbers on a laminated card in my wallet in the event they disappeared.

The P38 is not on file, however. :whistle:  One never knows...  :ph34r:

I've wondered-- with it being very easy to swap barrels on many semi-auto pistols, do criminals ever do that to try to foil investigators?

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

If criminals were that smart, they wouldn't be criminals.  You don't want to be caught with a gun if you're a suspect for anything, ever.  Not on your person, not in your home, etc. 

Swapping barrels sounds like something a non-criminal mind would do.  :P  Still plenty of powder residue all over the rest of it.

That's why a lot of criminals would run out of guns soon enough - they would get mucky, nasty, bent, etc.

...or they would try to do gun repairs and it would go all Cal on them.  (SPROING!)  "Oh, damn.  I hope that springy thing or that little metal dealie aren't important."
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Let it go, Raz.

I will when you and Derspeiss let your Obama thing go.

:huh:

What, are all the lights not on upstairs today Speiss?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

So I have an "Obama thing" now?  How recently have I mentioned him?  Or is my lack of proper Obama worship my "thing"?

Maybe I watch too much TV.  "Ballistic fingerprinting" seems to be portrayed as if it were an ironclad way of proving guilt or innocence.

Hopefully that psycho spends some time in juvenile hall.
