    The best use of a Sharper Image candy dispenser I’ve ever seen: I’d make up one of those “press button receive bacon” type stickers the hand dryers have on them that has a pictogram like “hand here… receive ammo”. I wonder if it would work on calibers above .22LR?  It would be awesome if it worked with…

    The gun store guys talk on the subject: I’m always careful at the range when shooting similarly sized cartridges.  I’ve heard too many stories of people using the wrong cartridge, some by accident and some by mistake, with undesirable results. Barry’s story about the .44 Magnum / .45 Colt WalMart mixup was pretty funny. From a design standpoint…
