I prefer to not co-mingle gun and not gun things...

Okay I waa a police firearms instructor for ove 30 years. We used to get lead exposure tests periodically. Always okay.
Your regimenn is excessive. Back off. I used to run a firingline. Indoor and outdoor range. Used to drink my coffee running the qualification line. If I was shooting I'd wash my hands.
You're doing too much.

5.56 would be okay too as long as it's not made in Lake City.
Typical liberal eye wash.

And yes, @45Doll, I use the digital coupons through their app - not sure if there's another way to access, but their app is nice & easy to use. I rarely go into the brick & mortar store anymore - I order online, maximize on any sales/digital coupons & do curbside pick-up. Life is good.
If you don't use the app they'll add them to your card or phone number at the courtesy counter.

One needs to read the state law. One CC state used to allow concealed carry for residents only. Non-residents could open carry.

I've said this before. If you are arrested for a shooting you don't need a "gun lawyer". You need a good criminal defense lawyer.

In all fairness to Taurus, the Beretta 92 clones were known to be pretty good.
@Displaced Texan that's what I carried as a duty gun from 1989 to about 1993. A PT99AF with adjustable sights. During that time the only problem I has was the rear sight leaf broke. Sent it back with about a 2 week turnaround. I put about 10,000 rds through it and it's still running strong.
Bought a 669 (S&W M19 clone) about the same time. I've put more than 6000 rds of full magnums through it. Still tight. I've seen personally S&W M66s go out of time at 1500 rds and one blowing out its cylinder at 400 rds.
Our personal experience is the biggest factor in forming our opinions.

It’s covered under the ‘lifetime’ warranty, but I won’t send it in, as a reminder to never to buy a Taurus again.
Okay, I've seen S&Ws with many issues.

I've had Taurus' for 35 years. Never had an issue. Carried one as a duty gun. I have several 1911s. If I carry one it's the Taurus. My EDC is a Taurus.
I can't understand all this Taurus hate.

A 20 year sentence doesn't seem like it's enough.
About 30 years ago I went to a DEA school. Part of the training was a block of instruction was from a DEA chemist. Fenatyl was around but not as prevalent. He told us that 7 grains of salt, if it were Fenatyl, would be fatal. Not sure of the weight but I remember that.

"All.those contractors" didn't file civil suits against Trump to recover their losses? I think it suspicious they didn't.

Oh yes.

Okay, many of us carry knives. But few of us really know how to knife fight. This is one of those things.
Imo use a knife to defend yourself. It will be okay, no pursuit of prosecution, or a prosecutor in this state go after you.

On 11/22/2023 at 11:08 PM, JohnnyB said:True but still a cool gun! So.....What are your dream guns Griz?
Okay as you're a great guy I'll tell you the dream guns I already own.
Number 1 is a German made, mid 60s, Walther PPK in 32. The gun Bond was issued. I had one of my best friends gift me the gun years ago before I was back in NJ. I wanted one at 12 years old when I started reading Bond books in the 7th grade (pretty racy for the 7th grade in a Catholic school!). I only carried it once on a trip to GA.
Back in the 80s, a 2 1/2 inch Model 66 Smith was the real Agent's gun. I didn't get one until after I retired. One of my favorite carry guns. I carry it with +P+ 38s which don't give up much to 357s.
Model 10 Smiths. I had.one in Vietnam. Only 130 gr hardball but it worked for me. Had a 2" Model 64. Thar worked for me too. Sorry I traded it off. Still have a 4" Model 10 and a 4" Model 64.
Garands.Bought several thru CMP when they deliver them to the door in NJ. I sold some.of them to friends. A tanker in.308 (you know who.youre are, and a stock Garand.).
I keep my Danish return with a VAR barrel.
Wanted a "Sniper Rifle". Went thru a few. Got a Savage Scout. 2.75 Burris. Best group was .6" at 100 yds. If they're over 200 yds, I don't have to shoot. I can run away. I have an 03 shorter that will shoot 2" at 100.
All practical stuff. The guns Carlos Hathcock used would only shoot 2" at a 100. I'm no way good as he was.

Yes but a Hollywood falsehood. He bought.the gun through the mail.

Nothing now unless one of my dream guns pops up.
Too many are obsessed with having so many guns.
Let me tell you you don't. You can be a 2A supporter with one gun.

There's a conflict here. One court ruled felons can have guns. I'm not okay with.that. Violent felons should not have.guns. They proved through their actions they should not have guns. I have no problem with Martha Stewart having a gun. Maybe a few years after the conviction.
Many of these cases will go to SCOTUS. If they.remand that's the equivalent of upholding the lower court decision.

The whole idea of microstamping is such a snipe hunt that it would be laughable if it weren’t being pursued. Millions to implement all the logistical, organizational, and engineering changes reduced to vapor by a $10 Dremel.
It's all a abour feel good, we're doing something which amounts to nothing.
-
I'm still waiting to see a crime solved by microstamping. Google it. You won't find one. I related earlier how MDSP asked the legislature to repeal the law. Millions had been spent with zero results.

Go back to the issuing authorities.

Do you wear an exposure suit and 2 life jackets when you go kayaking? Do you wear body armor at the range? Do you have a roll cage in your car?
I'm not blowing this lead contamination off. I think some people do too much.
