Wolff spring kit for K-frame revolver?

[Mike Irwin]

"Solely? No, of course not. You're wandering into the ridiculous extreme."

Oh?

Your previous posts in this thread make it pretty clear that you prescribe to the "replace the spring, by the neck you'll swing!" theory of jurisprudence.

You've postulated on it.

Now it's up to you to prove it.

Lacking that, it becomes a personal opinion that may or may not be beneficial to the denziens of the net.

Simply relying on "the prosecution brought it up, the jury convicted, so it was a crucial element in the conviction!"

Balderdash. Without being privy to the jury's deliberations, or extensively interviewing every juror as to the reasons for the conviction, we can only speculate that such information MIGHT have had an effect on the outcome.

For all we know, the defense could have very ably destroyed the concept of an altered gun contributing to guilt while at the same time it failed miserably to impeach the credibility of the seven eye witnesses who saw the accused execute the victim with three shots to the back of the head.

Correlation is one thing.

Causation is entirely another.

And without knowing the mind of each and every juror, causation for a conviction can only be guessed at.

In other words, no champagne for you.

Actually, sir, I've proven it to myself my satisfaction.

It's up to you to prove it to your own satisfaction. Or not.

Having read through this thread, and having read many articles addressing the legal implications of modifying weapons and it's consequences, I can state this;

-SgtLumpy has said nothing wrong, he's using a conservative approach backed by facts and experience;

-There are many cases cited where the modified trigger was used in court by the prosecutor, often shown as 'intent to commit harm' in an attempt to discredit self-defense. I won't cite them, but the info is out there for whomever is interested.

-Why all the fuss? Either consider it as helpful advice or don't. There's entire sections of gunowner magazines devoted to the legal aspects of self-defense, and modifications to guns is one of the points frequently addressed. If it's not a concern, the modify your SD weapon all you want......

If you're making the claim, and expecting folks to accept it, you should be providing citations.

Sorry, but as I mentioned in my post, I'm not going to do all the work; folks can do what I've done--take the time to do the reading themselves. Start with US Concealed Carry Assoc.--it has an entire section devoted to legal issues. also consider USACarry.com, defensivecarry.com among others. I don't care if folks accept it or not. As stated, it was a suggestion of a member based on some legal cases and experience. Use it or not. I modify most of my guns one way or the other, just not all of them.

If you cannot give a link to the actual data, it did not happen. It is hard to find something that does not exist.
I want to see those so-called court cases where the replacement of a hand gun's springs were an issue in an actual court case.
As an educated person, citations are required...I am not here to listen (read), blather, I can get that in any bar from Johnny Six-pack.

Are you refering to acutal court cases (provide citations), or a just another place where opinions on a subject rather than facts are presented? Citations would show the difference.

As stated, it was a suggestion of a member based on some legal cases and experience.

No, it was a suggestion from a member who said he had relative experience(s), but posted no links to citations.

Oh by the way, I happen to be a rocket scientist and a brain surgeon...look it up on the INTERNET, I'm not going to do all the work...just look it up. There, all proved!
