    Do not do that. Your irons and your dot may not cowitness. That’s OK! Go to the range. Leave the dot off and shoot the irons. If necessary, make windage adjustments until you are happy with the results. Then turn the dot on and shoot the dot. If necessary, make appropriate adjustments until you are happy with the results. Then leave it alone! Don’t move stuff without verifying it has to move.

    I think I'm going to get ahead of this and order a new firing pin for one of my 22lr rifles. I know someone who can laser etch FJB into the pin.

    No one should ever conceive them of allowing concealed carry in any of the five boroughs. That’s never happening. No one is getting a concealed carry permit to accompany them to shop on 5th Ave. during the Christmas season so they can feel safe. New Jersey is nothing more than a 6th borough.

    @JohnnyB I really don't know. I looked on some sites and asking price was $2500-5000. Whatever you do DON'T CLEAN IT UP. Original finish is everything.

    This feeds on the "CSI Effect" where people think forensics is magical. Here's NSSF on the subject: https://www.nssf.org/articles/the-moronic-myths-of-microstamping/ There is some truth to ballistic fingerprinting in general, but it usually only works when you already have both the intact bullet and the gun it was fired from at the scene. In this case, at best it would lead to a partial match of a registered gun to a shell casing. Shell casings don't kill people, bullets do. I don't see how this can ever work as evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The real motivation is additional handgun database/registry and driving up production costs to be prohibitive for sale or manufacture. How do people even follow this law if you wanted to? What do you do if you need a new firing pin? If this technology was as benign as a frame serial number, I doubt anyone would oppose it. But it isn't.

    It is disturbing that Republicans aren't puttng National Reciprocity in the Senate bill. That would at least give the impression of a give and take compromise, which of course would need to include nonresident licenses.

    it's wrong to call rittenhouse a shooter. he didn't go there trying to kill bunches of people. he was there defending others, and ended up defending himself.

    Everything is falling, so even if it’s in the red, anything owned that’s in the green for the individual still looks good right now. I think the banks are getting out. I think that takes it to about $8-9k. The question is can the various exchanges stay in the business of being exchanges. Basically can the venture capitalist money stay in and keep the market a sizable market. I don’t think they all can, but I’m less informed to be able to suggest none can. So the question there is will you have people trying to be market makers or just the exploitative money changers? If they all get out, it’s essentially going to zero. If one assumes it remains a market and that market is more or less fair and it’s a commodity subject to inflationary pressures, I’m guessing the floor is around $1200. But i think that is a big assumption. There’s going to be motivation for the least regulated exchange to get cut throat and try to screw the more regulated exchanges. And that could eliminate it from being a viable market. At that point it is zero unless you can find someone who wants it yourself. It’s a messed up market. The pretense is that it is a currency. But if it wasand a loaf of bread cost you one bitcoin one day and a few years later it cost you 40,000 Bitcoin you wouldn’t be celebrating, you’d be tearing it like Zimbabwean dollars. If it’s a commodity it should retain worth. If it’s a currency, this is the phase where it ram up so much nobody will touch it and even the entity printing it up won’t accept it.

    13 lbs is about average. I saw it today, and bought it now because meat prices have been on a steady upturn. My new favorite BBQ rub. Slightly spicy. No sugar!

    Coming soon to a smoker near you. Actually, I couldn’t resist it. Brisket was on sale, so I bought it to stuff in the freezer for later.

    The worst part of this picture? It's maybe 3 weeks old and already out of date.

    I’d promised to post more meat porn pics, so here they are. These are all restaurant meals, and while my trip was less epic than Tex’s, I did have some good dinners. Not quite two weeks ago, my boss asked on a Friday if I could pretty please leave for Buenos Aires on Monday to help with a lab project. I’d never been there, so…Sure! This required a mad scramble to find flights, figure out Covid travel protocols in 4 countries, brush up on my really bad tourist Spanish (it's still really bad), and watch Evita (my wife's contribution to the planning). Once on the ground there, I didn't have much free time other than over the next weekend when I finally got to sightsee. So that left dinnertime as my down time. And dinner in Argentina often means Argentine beef. Steak and Malbec are staples. So in a week, I hit five different steak houses! The pics include two strip steaks, two sirloins, and a ribeye. The last night I substituted a caipirinha for the Malbec. It’s hard to find caipirinhas in the US. All were wonderful! The exchange rate isn’t great right now, but paying in dollars you could get a nice steak, a side, a glass of wine, and tip for about $35 (about 40% more if paying in Argentine pesos). You could also select from the Wagyu steak list, add a bottle of high-end Malbec and pay over 10 times that, but my employer isn't nearly that generous. If you don't specify how you want your meat cooked, they default to something between medium and well done, which I found surprising for a country that is so into beef. But if you specify medium rare, they nail that perfectly every time. That thick sirloin was the highlight of the week! On the first leg of the flight back, the in-flight meal was beef medallions, and on the second leg, a petit filet. Not bad for airline food, but neither warranted pictures. Now that I'm home, I've been told I'll mostly be eating salads for awhile. Gas, in the city, was just under $4/gallon. I read that nationwide it had only recently gone up to about $3.50, though it's always been low there compared to the US.

    Of course we're running low on gas when all the fossils are working for the government.

    I admire your confidence, but I remain very skeptical for the following reasons: - Even if Republicans take the Senate and House, Biden will still be president. (Unless...) - A Republican Senate and House guarantees nothing truly constructive. See Trump's first two years. There will still be too many RINOs to actually reverse course on anything. - To truly 'come back' as a country, at least the top five management layers of every federal department and agency would have to be purged to get rid of the entrenched progressives who are really running things. Starting with the FBI, Justice, IRS, Education, Defense and DHS. - The alien invasion at the southern border will continue unrestricted. IMO we have already had our populous polluted with enough non-US-oriented foreigners to guarantee a never ending incoming stream of dependent aliens (plus relatives and friends) who are not interested in preserving the United States as conceived. I could go on, but I won't. Time will tell.
