  1. And prior to Aitken many of us would have believed that the moving exemption, which applies to many other gun transport laws, would also implicitly apply to HPs. Bad assumption and Brian Aitken found out the hard way. I believe HP was the only one that wasn't overturned on appeal. Makes you wonder what other interpretations have we made that would not stand up in court. Aitken wiki
  2. I only have seen them in AZ, I-8 coming out of Yuma. Yeah, I understand the reason-essential liberty for temporary safety. I'm sure most agents are putting they're lives on the line to protect our nation; And I think I'd support the CBP mission more if it weren't for the fact that the mission is undermined by almost every Democrat, including current POTUS, and failure to enforce existing laws and execute policy against illegals. As it is, those CBP checkpoints seem like they're basically for show. How many illegal entries have CBP really prevented?
  3. And at the present time, very high likelihood they'll figure it out, with all the technology at police disposal, and neighbors ring camera etc. And I'm pretty sure this kind of action would pretty much destroy any self defense claim you might have had. Don't mess with evidence, they will figure it out and jury will assume you're guilty.
  4. I don't disagree that these decisions exist, I do disagree with the decisions. But that's just my opinion. And I think these checks just waste everyone's time. BTW, The sobriety check points are unconstitutional in some states which have stronger constitutional protection of individual privacy and liberty, like my home state of Washington--as liberal as it is, still has a "State Constitution [that] also protects the privacy rights of individuals at home or in private affairs including in their vehicles" Washington sobriety stops "Fortunately for Washington residents, DUI checkpoints are unconstitutional. In the 1988 case City of Seattle v. Mesiani, the Washington State Supreme Court ruled that these roadblocks lack the particularized and individualized suspicion of criminal activity. This violates Article I, Section 7 of the Washington State Constitution. As a result, police in Washington do not have the authority to establish DUI checkpoints."
  5. Agree, but 99% of my traffic stops have been because I committed infraction. Unavoidable stops have usually involved unconstitutional (IMO) sobriety checks or CBP checkpoints.
  6. I agree 100% I've watched a lot of these audit videos and the LEOs are almost always wrong-making bad assumptions, over stepping their authority, making up laws, etc. That's why this one is so exceptional. And yes, don't get stopped in the first place!
  7. I think this shows a pretty good interaction. Pulled over for expired registration. Things could have gone badly if the LEOs freaked out. But everyone stayed calm and polite, ended well.
  8. So it looks like Dark Storm just removed the brace and now it is back on their web page as non-NFA firearm: https://www.dark-storm.com/dsi/ds-15/ds-15-typhoon-rifles/dark-storm-ds-15-non-nfa-firearm-typhoon-5.56-black/ Just remove the brace and you're good
  9. Yeah, I watched one of the videos about this as an ATF trap-something about your application not approved within 88 days, then it is automatically denied. Then you become a felon, you've provided written and signed evidence, and they know where you live. And OBTW, don't expect one ATF agent to show up with a friendly knock on your door, that door is coming down with a battering ram and a team of agents surrounding your home.
  10. ATF says they're waiving the $200 fee on this, one time deal. I think the bigger problem is NJ probably doesn't allow it as an SBR.
  11. Yeah, they mention optics in the Shot Show ATF panel (IIRC), saying you couldn't use it without shouldering the weapon. And they brought up changing to a pistol extension-is that because the pistol ext will not accept a stock or brace? Oh okay, makes sense. Thanks!
  12. So sounds like removing the brace, and getting rid of it, and remove any optics, solves the problem.
  13. The ATF Q&A from Shot talked about constructive possession/intent (e.g. best to lose that SBA3 or lock it in a safe deposit box). Or change out the buffer tube to a pistol buffer tube that will not accept a stock or a brace
  14. Probably when the rule is officially finalized and published in the federal register.
  15. So just removing the brace and FVG turns it into a legit HG, or does one also need to change the buffer tube?
  16. Thanks! I was confused by the language on Dark Storm website " It is not a PISTOL, as it has a barrel length of 12.5" and features a forward vertical grip, as it designed to be fired with two hands."
  17. Just standing outside, politely waiting for you to open the door and give them permission to search? That's not how the Three Letter govt Agencies roll. I think they're coming in like an FBI/SWAT team after an insurrectionist. Breaking down doors and crashing through windows at 0300. So when everyone sees the video they will be mostly intimidated to turn in all their legal weapons
  18. Yeah, Dark Storm took down the non-NFA listings and put up a blurb about pistol brace ruling. You can still find the non-NFA offerings on their website via Google search or direct link. But they aren't selling them until this gets corrected. I think the DSI and Troy offerings are more difficult. If you remove the brace, I don't think it becomes a pistol due to 12.5" barrel?? Does that make it still an SBR or an AOW with the brace removed? Or OTOH, does the FVG serve to bolster the "not designed to be fired from the shoulder" argument? I would wait and see if this whole, poorly thought through ruling lasts the 120 days... https://www.dark-storm.com/dsi/ds-15/ds-15-typhoon-rifles/dark-storm-ds-15-non-nfa-firearm-typhoon-5.56-black/
  19. Wow, sounds like scientologists or other cult members. Don't think, just keep repeating what they're told. Thanks for engaging them and reporting back!
  20. "26 U.S.C., § 5485(a) § 5845(c) — The term “Rifle” means a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder, and designed or redesigned and made or remade to use the energy of the explosive in a fixed metallic cartridge to fire only a single projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the trigger.' Due to the brace and the FVG, it is not designed or intended to be fired from the shoulder.
  21. How can it be an SBR if it is not an 'R' From DSI website: "It is not a RIFLE, as it does not have a stock and is not designed to be fired from the shoulder." https://www.dark-storm.com/dsi/ds-15/ds-15-typhoon-rifles/dark-storm-ds-15-non-nfa-firearm-typhoon-5.56-black/ The ATF is booth getting a lot of positive response?
  22. Wife got check from Equifax today, about double my check, but she actually had ID theft around the same time as the breach, where I locked down ("froze") her CB reports for awhile. Which I documented in her request for settlement (phone calls, emails, and time spent to fix it). I wonder what the law firm's take is?

    As long as they have the right ESG bonafides (or woke, or whatever bandwagon currently in vogue). Hoping this will be a black eye against ESG movement. https://www.wsj.com/articles/sam-bankman-fried-esg-truth-teller-ftx-cryptocurrency-crash-11668723808?st=nts3qunzv1chmi9&reflink=share_mobilewebshare
  24. Yeah I like that 74gear guy. Also like Dan grider's probable cause: https://youtube.com/user/UGOT2CTHIS And this mid air is really crazy, especially seeing the damage to the metro liner: https://youtu.be/_Ph7OR6C90w
