Serious credentials? The guy has a bad attitude and limited experience from what I see. He was a LEO in a sleepy part of Tennessee for about 6 years and two years working security in Iraq. It looks like he spent most of his time as a LEO going to schools. He talks like he went in by himself to get OBL and he captured Saddam Hussein all by himself. His mouth far surpasses his experience. I'm not saying he isn't qualified to teach basic courses but he really doesn't have much experience at all. What Yeager excels at is being a salesman and convincing people he is the one they need to train with. Hey he's got a shaved head and a foul mouth so he must be tough. I guess we'll have to see what happens and how much he does of what he says he'll do.

I remember when Simon tried to get a FA permit from NJ. Can't remember exactly what the weapon was but IIRC one of his arguments was he didn't have Secret Service protection any more. It didn't get him anywhere.

If that's what floats your boat go for it. There are those that use expensive knives on a regular basis but I think they are more the exception than the rule.

A Improved Cylinder or Cylinder Bore gives a spread of about an inch a yard. I prefer just about any of the reduced recoil 00 loads. You need to be aware that most full power 9 pellet loads tend to "donut" past 15 yards, leaving a big hole in the pattern by 25. #1 or #4 buck tend to keep some shot in the middle of the pattern at 25 yds. Proponents of birdshot overlook the danger of ricochet potential. Buckshot will tend to dig in and penetrate most objects found in the home. Birdshot will ricochet off metal objects (heater vents, appliances, etc), glass, counter tops, and a lot of other things in the house. So will buckshot but not that many of them. The most extreme case I personally knw of this is when a bad guy try to shoot the cops on the other side of a door. He let loose with a load of #6s at the...metal door. Not sure what angle he was holding the shotgun but he managed to catch enough shot in his face and upper chest to take the fight out of him. If you really want to find the best you need to accumulate several different types of buckshot and pattern it in your gun a different ranges.

This is the only reason Biden is meeting with the NRA.

I don't think I ever spent more than $75 for a knife. The problem with most expensive knives is they become trophies and are never used as tools. One doesn't want to take a chance of scratching or nicking the blade of that $2000 knife.

You want to call someone a thief make it S&W, Springfield Armory and others. 25 years ago there was one striker fired, polymer frame service pistol around...Glock.

You're only talking .17" slimmer. When I looked at the 30 and 36 they are so similar in size I went with the extra capacity and left with the 30. I suppose the small differences in dimensions mean something if you have to fit the gun in s specific size box but nothing as far as handling or concealment.

They are no more "illegal" than any other hollowpoint. OK to have at home and the range as has been said.

5.56 NATO penetrates less in building materials (sheet rock, 2x4s, etc) at close range than 9mm Parabellum out of a MP5. The 5.56 will penetrate most body armor from close range out to some range. The MP5 won't. The FBI and other LE agencies have known this for about 15 years. I hat to upset the "militarization of the police" people but this has been the real reason for LE to be moving away from the MP5 and adopting the M4. A more effective cartridge capable of defeating most body armor yet less penetrating whenn used as a entry weapon.

Intresting but rifle rounds usually penetrate better when they've gone down range a bit. Julian Hatcher demonstrated this about 50 years ago shooting a 44 mag pistol and a 30-06 (M2 ball) into wood. At 25 yds the 44 far surpassed the penetration that of the 30-06. When shooting at 200 yds the 30-06 penetrated much further than it did at 25 yds and IIRC nore than the 44 did at 25 yds. The 44 of course penetrated at 200 much less than it did at 25 as you would expect. IIRC the reason the 30-06 penetrates more at 200 yds than it does at 25 is due to optimum stability achieved at range. This is when the spin imparted by the rifling matches the velocity of the bullet keeping it from tumbling when it hits something resulting in better penetration. I imagine the same applies to all rifle rounds but I've never seen a tesr like Hatcher's with other calibers. Penetration of those tested in the video would be better if he did his tests at a longer range.

As a plus this ammo has a low muzzle flash compared to most others. It is one of my 9mm loads of choice.

If the President wants to send in Federal troops and put the National Guard under Federal control he can do it. Eisenhower did this in 1957 in Little Rock without the Patriot Act and without NDAA. Yes there was blather about Bush doing this in 2008 attempting to scare people. This was brought to you by the same left wing liberals that want to take your guns away now "for the children". You can't blame everything on NDAA (which is a much bigger encompassing piece of legislation than most realize) or the Patriot Act for everything.

Please quote the section of The Patriot Act that gives the President the authority to susprnd elections.

You can develop your finger and hand strength with those grip exercisers.

To get the speed he does Miculek has to use a heavier spring to get that trigger to reset. Springs govern pull, reliable ignition, and reset. You can have two but not all three. S&Ws come out pretty well balanced from the factory for most people's uses. Many ooh and aah over Colt triggers but they sacrifice reset for a lighter pull. I'm far from the fastest but I can out run a stock Colt trigger. The Colt DA system doesn't allow as flexible mods as S&W. Ever wonder why you don't see many competing with Colts? Too many people concentrate on lightening the pull and in many cases that masks a gritty trigger. I would rather have a smooth 12 lb trigger than a gritty 5 lb trigger. A good shooter is not going to lose a lot going to a heavier trigger.

Okay I apologize if any offense was taken.

If you can wait I process black and white. I do color all digital but nothing beats an archivally processed black and white silver prinit for quality or longevity. Moving my darkroom and it will be a couple of months before I'm set up again.

You still need a warrant issued by a judge to go into a safe deposit box. If you think its so easy to link anything to terrorist activity you're wrong.

I never said executive orders require congrssional approval. I said they have to have a law passed by Congress they are clarifying or explaining how the law is to be carried out. Executive orders cannt make law. I said that above and you can also go to your wiki link and read the 2nd paragraph under "History and Use". Thanks for posting a link that supports my position. For all those things you listed EOs enacting there was an existing law the POTUS could act on. For example, troops to Bosnia, War Powers Act. The POTUS can send them there but Congressional approval was required to keep them there. EO regarding racial discrimination? 1964 Civil Rights Act. Etc,etc The INS case you quoted has no bearing on what we are discussing unless the POTUS issues a EO based on a law and Congress wants to override the EO. An EO could ban importation of all semiautos as having no sporting purpose, maybe. Please show me a law in existence Obama can use to issue a EO which would institute an AWB.

Your safe deposit box was not outside the eyes of the government before the Patriot Act either. The Patriot Act did make acquiring subpeonas easier but you still need probable cause and a warrant to go into a safe deposit box. Under the Patriot Act there needs to be a link to terrorist activity. Contrary to what many people think the Patriot Act is not the green light for the government to do whatever they want.

Executive orders detail how a law passed by Congress is carried out. Executive orders cannot make law. This was settled by SCOTUS during the Truman adminstration. If you can figure out some law Obama can use to instiitute an AWB let me know.

SSA and NOAA have Criminal Investigators, Job Series 1811 that investigate crimes within their jurisdiction. They do arrest criminals. FWIW the the Federal Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife, Health and Human Services, Dept of Agriculture and other agencies have Criminal Investigators. They all receive firearms and tactical training. Why shouldn't they be armed?

Good reason they are so cheap. MACs are the best example of an inaccurate FA weapon in their original form. STENs don't have a good rep for reliability. That's with guns from the factory those thrown together from parts kits have to be worse

There is no way a FFL would know who the original buyer was unless they originally sold the lower and they remember the serial number.
