Cousin's bf is brewing his own beer and it was yummy today. I told him to make moonshine next time I come over.

Oh, I'm approaching the correct ratio but it has been huge for me just taking it into consideration. My wife and I are both reading labels now. Thanks very much for that.

No problem. I'm just glad I could help a friend.

They said yeah.. as you get older, being drunk isn't fun anymore except for a couple of occasions per year. I think my brain is subconciously telling me "yo, no more shotgunning 8 cans of (insert shitty beer here). I need to live for 50 more years!"

Yep, on down the road, you may choose to not get drunk anymore.

The only downside is ...... that ....... you will no longer have an excuse for doing stupid stuff ......

Even had a bayonet bracket because we were never sure when that 14 inches of extended reach would come in handy when we had to charge the trenches.

Back in the old US Army, the M3 (grease gun) was issued to the cooks, mechanics, drivers and other support personnel, so if they got attacked, they could make a bunch of noise to alert the line infantrymen to come help.

As far as accuracy, actually it didn't make much difference, by spraying 30 rounds of .45 cal ammunition out there, you're were bound to hit something ......

Reminds me of the time I took my 14 year old daughter to an indoor firing range, because she wanted to learn how to shoot my .45 ACP.

Since she is left handed, she was holding the pistol in her left hand and would flinch after she fired each round. I asked her why, she said the ejected cartridges were hot and burning her face.

Daaaaa on me for nor paying attention ...... so, I convinced her to hold the weapon right handed.

Someone surely mages a left hand pistol, no? Not saying it's practical to buy just fit the daughter but I guess I've never seen one. If your pistol is ejecting properly it wouldn't matter anyways I guess as your face will always be directly behind the gun and it should eject back and to the side

Yup. You'll find you go to the bar less too cuz now it gets way more expensive or shittier tasting than your new norm lol.

Oh yes, several folks make .45 ACP for left handed shooters (ejects to the left).

However, my daughter just wanted to become familiar with the handgun, not do a lot of shooting.

So, then, after firing a few rounds through my .357 revolver, she decided she had had enough "exposure" to handguns.

She then took up martial arts.......

No wonder my son-in-law behaves himself .....

They do make firearms for lefties but they are either custom or uncommon. Oh and the standard issue M4 carbine is a PITA to drop mags left handed. Which reminds me, I need to get a new rifle before the 21st.
