Just found out I passed: Forensic Criminal Psychology Diploma. I took the class to better understand the criminal mind. I thought it would be helpful when teaching my #firearm classes. It was interesting. Wrote my final paper on Serial killer John Wayne Gacy. #psychology #crimeprevention #criminology

Today is National #hunting and #fishing day. Get out and enjoy the great #outdoors

Happy Friday! #godblessamerica #weekendvibes #kickinbrassusa

By far the most incredible #firearm in my collection. A fine and rare original Civil War Era French Lefaucheux 11mm Engraved Pinfire Revolver. This private purchase example is more heavily ornamented than the military issue. They were available in various different calibers ranging from the large 11 and 12 mm down to 7mm or so on… In many ways the large bore martial pinfire revolver, based upon the patents of Casimir and Eugene Lefaucheux was one of the most modern and advanced military handguns to see use on the battlefield during the American Civil War. Although US government recorded only 13,000 M-1858 Lefaucheux patent pin fire revolvers as being officially purchased (along with over 2.2 million cartridges), surviving examples and regimental records indicate that far more than that were imported. The primary importer was George Schuyler who purchased 10,000 Lefaucheux revolvers for the US government. This pistol is a nice example made by E. Lefaucheux in France, intended for retail sale or export, and Very Good condition. The side of the cylinder is marked with CROWN / E L / 6 9, one of the usual proof marks seen on those made by the designer. The pistol follows the pattern standard French made M-1858 Lefaucheux Navy model pinfire revolver, however it is chambered in the smaller 11mm size. The pistol is approximately 10 1/2" in overall length, with a 5 1/2" round barrel. The bore is rifled with six deep, narrow grooves with a standard rate of twist, unlike the standard military versions. The bore shows crisp rifling, and is mostly bright, with only a few areas of oxidation. The loading gate is present and functional. The #pistol in 100% working order. #singleaction and #doubleaction both work. Specifications: - Year of Manufacture: circa 1860 - Caliber: 11 mm Lefaucheux - Ammunition Type: Pinfire Cartridge - Overall Length: 10 1/2 inches - Barrel Length: 5 1/2 inches - Action: single/Double - Feed System: 6 Shot Revolver . . #gunsofinstagram #gun #guns #lefaucheuxm1858revolver #lefaucheuxm1858 #antique #antiqueguns #kickinbrassusa

Thank you for the pocket #constitution @turningpointusa

Watching 9/11 stuff all day. Every year I get overwhelmed with sadness and anger. That day changed me and I think many others. I hope we will always remember those who were murdered that day forever. Those who are responsible should burn in hell.
