Mary Winkler was in 2006. I think the board had crashed and been restarted by then.

Yes...I am sure the board had been up and running for some years by then.

Teresa....while those board crashes have been frustrating, they have also been a chance to start afresh. Probably a very good thing!! :)

Yes, It was I loved the choice comments. Till death do us part took on a whole new meaning. A legal divorce in the CoC world. :lol: I do not blame her. Had she shot a shotgun before? The blast that follows would have scared her. Pulling a trigger is nothing compared to the response. My maternal Grand Pa had an old Sear's model with double barrels and knurled hammers. It looked like something from 1900. The firing pins were conical and stuck by the hammers which hit the primer on the end of the shell. It was fun to shoot. He said it had a double latch for gun cotton. I have never seen a shell like that. Besides a twelve gauge kicks. I have a street howitzer which is a twelve guage pump with a fold away stock and pistol grip. I have fired it from the hip and tore a large target in half. The rest of it looked like a doilie. I was using bird shot because I am cheap. You didn't need to sight to use it effectively. It was a pump so as the barrel flew up you could cock it with the nest shell. I do not like the 44 magnum for that reason. It is over kill as a pistol. I prefer a 357 magnum snubby. My son had one. It was accurate and a pistol. You don't leave brass all over the range with a pistol. You can unload it into a bag. Brass is used for reloading. This is a cheaper way to plink at targets. With clip fed you end up sweeping the range for your shells.

I am so disappointed in the lack of historical record keeping.

The original board was 2004 or 2005. Mary Winkler shot her husband in 2006. The trial started in April 2007.

Well, Mnala, that is helpful. So I think I joined the board in about 2006, when the Winkler situation was going on.

I found, and joined, the board shortly after the Winkler trial began.
History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices.
