This week, Michael attacks the bigotry aimed at gun owners and defenders of the Second Amendment. In the world of guns, he goes all ga-ga over the reintroduction of the Merwin-Hulbert, which is not a boat-tailed 1920s speedster or a line of men’s shirts for English gentlemen but rather one of the most innovative revolvers ever made. Finally, he ponders when you should carry a gun…with the obvious results!

FYI; The Merwin Hulbert history page still has a major error in discussing calibers of the time. We’re being told a 44-100 cartridge would have had 100 grains of black powder. While some cartridges were designated this way (45-70 for example) that was certainly not universal. The style of designation (44-100, 32-10, et al) predates the metallic cartridge and simply refers to the approximate diameter (44/100 or 44 one hundredths of an inch) and says nothing of the charge weight.
