What caliber for venemous raptor?

As big as a modern turkey.

Swoops down on you from behind.

"The prey would rapidly go into shock, but it would still be living, and it might have seen itself being slowly devoured".  So the best you can hope for is that your head is turned away when you go into shock?

"Firehand"  @ Irons in the Fire http://elmtreeforge.blogspot.com/ thinks maybe #4s?  No way!  I'm going with nothing less than buckshot and a steel insert in the bill of my ball cap that I'll be wearing backwards covering my neck, thankyouverymuch!

Another reason not to go out in the woods.  It's dangerous, I tell ya!

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

A group of University of Kansas researchers working with Chinese colleagues have discovered a venomous, birdlike raptor that thrived some 128 million years ago in China.

Makes me glad I stayed out of China during my misspent youth.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

My Uzi and maybe a Saiga 12.   Caliber isn't as important as quickly hitting your target.

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

Caliber doesn't seem as important as one of those big shark cage things divers use..
