True, it does most certainly falls under the drama which the show creates using the elimination challenges, the purpose of forming alliances, etc. If anyone watched the wrap up episode of the season, it really let the guys speak about the season as a whole..

I'm kinda happy about it. I wasn't a fan of the ego's in last season revolving around military status. The competition of best shooter turned out to be who your friends were.

I don't believe any companies actually copper plate 22's. There copper washed.. don't be fooled. Correct me if wrong.

Add the fact that some 22's like the MK series have quite exposed internals in terms of where the chamber is located, the whole inside gets dirty including the trigger mech and everything in between. A plus side is that when u take them apart everything is exposed for a good cleaning. It's also hard to see the flash from a 22 when your the shooter, i didnt notice it until i let my friend shoot mine and realized it was flashing on every round, i though it was interesting that i didn't notice it after shooting 200 rnds. But on the very first round my friend shot i saw it at the breach and muzzle.

Federal sells a couple different lines of 22lr. i use there champion line in my MKIII with no no copper washing or HP. I believe is the heavier hv load. Very reliable, i went through 400 rounds in a sitting with not one failure, i did however have one dirty a** gun to clean. These are sold by the 5250, not 5500. I passed on the copper washing HP because i didn't want to worry about FTF since there actually pretty soft bullets. And the copper washing was more of a gimmick to me. By the time the bullet is seated in the chamber probably 70% of it is gone. Like other said it seems to be more dirty because of the ease it comes off.

Well i was speaking in terms that unless you can control your actions your screwed with our without gaming experience. I feel that many things can be forgotten when your body enters high stress situations, basic fundamentals go out the window and survival kicks in. Whether or not gaming will hurt how you react is totally up to you. Some people crack under pressure, while others thrive.

But my point was that how often do people really practice running to cover from gun fire? or having a live gun pointed at them? Not much can prepare you for such a situation, and sometimes people do very illogical things when under such stress. Part of keeping yourself under control is relaxing and not letting your body enter a state of hyper anxiety. Adrenalin is good and can help you focus, but to much the body more or less starts to react on its own.

It can be hard to break this down psychologically. Unless your being dumped into a threatening situation there really isnt a way to tell how you will respond. Typically, we undergo a fight or flight response, which is tied into the adrenal part of your body. In competition or games, it's a matter of overcoming the flight response and focusing.. In a threatening situation it is much harder to control your actions, and naturally the body will want to flight or hide. Standing out in the open goes against ever response your body should exhibit. People who practice strategy are usually the ones better off, it's more about assessing your situation and your surroundings then probably anything. Someone who is taught to take cover behind the first thing they see might end up behind something like a cardboard box for example.

backyard shooting FTW.

Some one had a baby eagle listed in the for sale section, maybe he can help you out with specifics about it.

My guess at best would be that cabelas has put restrictions on all of there BB gun equipment. Since they sell the rifles on-line, they may have grouped ammo and other stuff with the restriction.. maybe purposely or how they inventory items. If you really thought about, it seems pretty stupid that they would knowingly restrict BB's, hell you can walk into any hardware store and buy them.

From what i understand, it seems that if you do not have a casing in these states, the S.P. will seize the firearm, fire the weapon for the casing, and then give it back to you, of course all at your expense. I wonder why the sales guy in florida was up front about this though since they dont log them.. i guess it was just a heads up not to open the package in case you move to a state that requires it. FYI- i dont think anyone minds a semi-off topic discussion, especially when it is a question in regards to the OP. I did in fact misrepresent the firearm(whether it mattered or not). He asked a pretty cut and paste question nothing entirely off topic as to skew the discussion of the topic itself. The bickering is probably the worst part. What could have been a simple question in regards to the firearm purchased, which would have wasted no more then the question asked and the answer given turned into multiple posts which further brought the thread off topic.... sometimes when people try to help they end up doing more damage of which they were trying to prevent in the first place. with that being said lets keep it clean and on-topic.

LCP 380, sorry about the mix up. He wanted something that could fit in the pocket. So some states actually want the spent casing to be on file..dayum. I wonder if there is even a noticeable distinction between same models. Seems like based off the article its not even a system that works well. I wonder why they skipped logging bullets and went for casings.

So i just got off the phone with my dad who lives down in Florida. We have been talking a lot about firearms lately and he picked up a Ruger LCR 380 today. He was asking me about the spent cartridge that comes with the pistol. I actually knew what he was asking about but didnt know the answer since my Mark III came with one. It comes packaged with all the information in an envelope with the assemblers signature. The guy who sold him the pistol at the shop said if the envoloped was opened, he would have to bring the gun to the S.P. and have them fire it at his expense... But many firearms dont even come with this to begin with.. i assumed it was for quality control, but my dad... being around for a while believed they log bullets so they can trace a barrel. any Input?

I have to give the friend a little more credit then you guys. The tone of her voice, although the words seem bleak, seemed to pronounce that what he did was very very stupid, and was in fact something that will effect his career. I dont think she was defending him in anyway or his actions by claiming he has a record of being a good cop, but just was trying to show that it was not something she would expect from him. I found her statement to be neutral, she was a friend, and consequently has to live with this guy. You need to be careful with how you speak about people close to you, i think she did a good job conveying the message that his actions were stupid and unacceptable. I would also agree that his actions were not malicious like she said, however, pointing a gun at someone doesn't need to be malicious especially being an officer. You should'nt point a gun at something unless you plan on shooting it.... i think he should go to jail, let alone loose his job.. Regardless of malicious intent, he threatened someones life just by pointing it at him.

I agree, this knife is advertised to break open doors... nuff said, lol. what happens if all 6 of your cheap blades break trying to pry something open. I find the cheap blades are good for typical use, do you need a 100 dollar knife to cut twine? no. Do you need a 100 dollar knife to pry open a door, probably. Will you ever have to pry open a door? maybe.. It's just a matter of finding the right tool for the job. Are you going to use a knife to open a can when you have a can opener? I use a 10 dollar box cutter to open boxes, not my 5" fixed blade, although i could use it if i wanted. The more purposes a knife has the better it is in my book. Whats the point in buying something you know will break? and probably when you most need it.

I have a husky folding box cutter for every day use. Then i keep a couple nice fixed blades at home with hard sheaths. I could easily come up with 100 reasons to have a box cutter on me, a 5" fixed blade might be harder to justify.

My thoughts exactly, not sure how America does it tho. DO certain states require a waiting period?

Well if it's not banned by name then any of the modifications are easy to get done to make it compliant. It just a matter of finding someone to do it and getting it there.

Your asking if an FFL will knowingly transfer an illegal firearm to you... hell no. Ordering a firearm online is the same thing as buying one at your local gun shop, they cannot transfer a gun to you unless it's legal, you may own said rifle, but you may not possess it, at least in NJ. Your FFl should know what is being sent to them, im pretty sure there gonna be pissed when a banned rifle comes in the mail unknowingly. I don't mean to sound harsh here but get with it. The way i read the question, i bought an illegal firearm, can i keep it? You can have them make arrangements to make it legal, but let them know what is coming in the mail. They may have to call a gunsmith and have it shipped out. What banned about the rifle? bayo lug? mag capacity? stock? Flash hider? My FFL for instance will not even touch banned rifles, they would end up returning to sender.

Well i don't know why people would just pay the price, i generally do a search and comparison of prices to get an idea of the market. I would love to support my local shops but they charge way way to much, so i support "local" shops with on-line stores out side of NJ. There's no reason a box of 9mm should cost 5 bucks more +tax.

I find ammo online way cheaper then in stores and found a place that ships for free, if you do some digging there out there. I also buy 9mm 5.56 and .22lr, probably the most common rounds.

Basically, i would agree. The law says there illegal, and it is not the job of the state to defend you, which means you will have to prove that you fall under the exemptions. If you did not say anything if stopped on your way to the range,they found a gun, you plead the 5th and went to court... how is the court supposed to know how if any exemptions apply to you? Just kind of shows who the burden of proof falls on.

Don't get me wrong, i wont shop anywhere that attempts to rip me off.. which is why i will never buy ammo at a NJ store.... 16bucks for a box of cheap 9mm seems to be the norm around me....yeah f'in right... With on-line shops hitting the market you should be able to find decent ammo prices without going to a place like walmart. The market will always reflect supply and demand with exception to places like walmart while supplies last.

Wait a minute... he gave you a ticket!!??? after all that he felt it was necessary to give you a ticket???
