    or 3 lefties and 1 righty! Of course this is likely not the case and I'm just being silly, but we have seen plenty of reflected/mirrored pictures showing left-handed bolt action rifles around here. If I recall right, one of them was even a Life magazine cover that launched a nice discussion as to whether such things were ever made.

    Interestingly, California was just in the news about this particular issue. They've bought some Teslas for use as police cruisers and the police officers who use them are rejecting them because they were trained to use the block of an engine as armor in a shootout. Of course, the Tesla has no engine.

    Not sure on that on Jim when Lithium gets exposed to air it goes up like thermite with scads of toxic smoke best get them their old cruisers back for fire fights.
    Also check out how many ppl are handing back or ditching their EV's in China so many fires and explosions from them we are getting fires here as well at houses from charging episodes so not sure on insurance companies paying out on that one !

    It's easier to fix a machine that repair a dead soldier.
