    State republicans who won’t shut up about “small government” sure love interfering with blue cities…

    Just like national level Republicans love interfering with blue states when they can…

    Probably because all the way back to the civil war, conservatives never wanted states rights, they wanted the federal government to force states they disagreed with to do what conservative states told them.

    After reading the article, this sounds like the absolute worst kind of corruption going on. And I am not even slightly surprised. I really wish someone would would hack into Jeters finances and and see how much he is making off of his horrendous and ridiculous stance.

    Does anyone know the make/model of that snub nosed revolver?

    I want to understand how the striker/hammer works.

      It’s a common design for conceal carry. The hammer is still there just doesn’t have the thumb lever. It’s a double action. Pulling the trigger pulls the hammer back until the release point and the hammer then falls sticking the primer. The trigger will be pulled all the way for each shot with this shaved style hammer. If the hammer still had the thumb lever, the hammer could be pulled back into a “cocked” position at which time pulling the trigger would release the hammer to strike the primer.

      A traditional hammer can become caught on clothing or other loose fabric when being concealed and moving around or drawn from concealment.

      Can’t if the make or model but it seems like a typical “hammerless” double action only revolver. It probably has a hammer but it’s hidden in that hump to prevent the hammer from getting caught on clothing when being drawn.
