I think people need ot have their heads examined. The four rules do not rule the world with an unwavering iron fist of infallibility. They are sound rules, and you really need to understand what they do as a set, but there's a lot f things that need doing that the four rules would make impossible. Which is why in many contexts, you come up with different sets of rules to create sufficient safety. An example is one gun shop I went to allowed no ammo in the gun counter area, and they checked clear before handing it over, and explained you need to check it is clear before getting to feeling it up properly. They also checked it was clear before putting it back in the display. They'd explain to rules to anyone wanting to check stuff out. The odds of something going wrong or having to care about sweeping people at the counter were very low. They cared if you swept people before checking if it was clear. They didn't after, even if it was them you were sweeping. But it got cleared going into inventory, any time it went into or out of the safe, into or out of the display, and whenever it changed hands in the store by both the giving and receiving party. It'd be pretty hard to magic some ammo into the gun without someone noticing. Yes, you need to have a functioning set of safety rules. it is not necessarily the four rules for all situations.

Glock has changed. They now offer modular grips. Which makes a world of difference in the damn things fitting well for various people. No idea how well they fixed up fitting the smaller end of the range of human hand sizes, but they at least did something. Glocks are perfectly serviceable guns and pretty decent in the grand scheme of things. With their new grips, even more so. You can also get spare parts out the hoo-ha even if you are just a regular schmo, which is useful. It'll be the first real successor to the 1911 in the world of handguns because it was very popular, and it's patents will run out before any other striker fired platform. IMO the only thing that really needs fixing with it are the factory sights. +1 for being very low to the bore. -1000 for being garbage hunks of plastic that break fairly easily if you actually use the thing a lot. -5 for the weird boxy white outline on the rear. They are doing a pro-forma objection because that's what happens in procurement.

Not spending on infrastructure is part of the policy of maximal neglect that most of our government operates on at this point. I am baffled about the eternal drought thinking though. It's like, hey we BELIEVE in global warming, so this must be it. Totally forgetting that even the most global warmiest of global warming scientists will show you the damn needle still goes back and forth, AND historically CA has two types of season. Wildfire season and mudslide season. Somehow millions of people forgot that.

No, not unless the warranty was essentially worthless to begin with. If reloaded ammo is going to damage your gun, it's going to be due to an overcharge. That damage wouldn't be covered by any warranty really, so any coverage you would get would be by the manufacturer's good graces. I've dealt with a few manufacturers. None ever asked about the ammo used because I wasn't trying to remedy an "I blew up my gun issue". I have seen people get a warranty replacement form glock for a KB though, even after admitting it was a home made reload and must have been over charged.

The lady in the video posted to facebook about the problems with the gun. There were additional modifications to the gun that effectively disabled the firing pin block. Who knows if they dicked with shortening the leg on the striker too. 1) Know what you are doing. 2) Know how to do it right. This stuff is dangerous, be very conservative with it, or pay a pro.

Once you mentioned there was actual info somewhere in it I rewatched enough to find the pics. That should not have been sufficient to cause the gun to simply discharge like it did. Something additional had to be going on with either the shooter, the shooter's rig, or another part of the gun. Given that there's a bunch of eye witnesses to it just going bang, I'll assume it was one of the last two. My guess is they did something to try and take the pre-travel out of the M&P trigger, and that resulted in the firing pin block being permanently disengaged.

It isn't just about light. People dick around wiht all sorts of bits and geometry to get a lighter trigger. Some people don't know the limits of what they are messing with and create an unsafe gun in the process.

And as a point if it wasn't clear. This case is done. That doesn't mean the premise doesn't get another shot if another case is there. It just has to climb the ladder from scratch.

So we have the 1934 case saying if it isn't military, it isn't protected, and these jagoffs saying if it is military it isn't protected.

It's SCOTUS. He is done.

That's a secret, but in this case it is pretty easy to guess. At BEST, you have any RKBA case heading into a 4-4 split. That's not a win. I'd expect to see the lefty side of the court right now trying to bring any RKBA case in it can to shut it down and deny cert so that they have to work their way all teh way back up the ladder to benefit from and Trump appointments to SCOTUS or the federal courts. It's a win win for them. They turn the worst case of a loss into a massive delay, and they still have the hail mary that trump will be impeached before he gets to appoint any quantity of judges. Right now, it is incredibly easy for any circuit court decision to be upheld without SCOTUS actually weighing in on it.

No divide by 1.2. You want to pay no more than $100, with a 20% premium you divide by 1.2, which s sys don't bid over $83.33.

So apparently they stumbled upon some rogue artists' collective. Maybe it's the post apocalyptic remnants of survival research labs. Because I'm pretty certain the first thing they'd do in a zombie apocalypse is make winston. winslow.

It's also possible this falls into the category of the shotgun ban white paper under Obama. The president asked for an assessment of some policy position, and this it the assessment.

Practical pistol show - very USPSA centric. the 3 gun show - very 3 gun centric The way I heard it by mike rowe freakanomics how did that get made.

The law didn't target conservatorship in general, that'd usually involve a court. It included some SSA determination, which my mom stayed away from based on legal advice as it was not her primary area of concern. I could however see someone including medical issues on that. You get a court to do it with a chance to defend yourself in court, fine. You do it administratively without due process, not fine.

Remove the firing pin. Make sure that you don't have stuff in the firing pin channel. Get in there with something and dig, compress air the SOB, etc. Be maximally aggressive short of doing damage. Had a baby eagle purchased in like 2002 that was a jam o matic. Went through 1500 rounds trying to fix it of stupid jams. It turned out to be a crescent spaed piece of swarf from machining that was wedged in the channel like a compressed c clip. It cause the firing pin to move slightly sluggishly and that affected the ability of the next case to move up the breech face properly, for the fired case to eject properly, etc. And no, a full sized pistol with mass has more inertia, so usually is sprung lighter than a compact.

Dude, shitty attitutde. The point of the cartridge is in theory to have better ballistics. The standing questions most who even remotely give a crap about it are 1) how fast can you push it with something like a 77gr OTM in it. 2) what's the ballistics like in the real world. 3) can you keep the speed and the accuracy together. 4) Is anyone building good barrels for it yet. People want some data, which the pic doesn't really supply. You're just teasing with no info.

Yup, my mom has already stuck me on a bunch of things like this. It's not because she can't handle things, it's because she wants it sorted out BEFORE she can't handle things.

Well there you go. not really a new argument, but an extension fo something already mentioned form a different angle: if it's easier for me to see if something is in spec, it's easier for the manufacturer to do proper quality control to.

If that's a 1" dot, that's like what? 2 MOA. Not really meaningful or impressive. I'm sure the cartridge is capable of better.

I'm jsut shocked at $240. I got snagged about 4 years ago for 15 over in a 25 zone with no residences (and oddly enough, was 35 at one end and 50 at the other, but no it's not a speed trap they tell me), and that was $210. Cost me close to $600 over three years.

Noveske - now offers mlok. DD - now offers mlok. knights' - now offers mlok. black rain m-lok Only bcm and adcore haven't gone mlok. BCM hasn't seemed to get a lot of the memos on things like price, feature set, etc lately. Adcore looks like they simply might not be able to jump horses too much. LWRC remains off in their own little la la land. If you want to blame the accessories for keymod being the problem, it's a lot easier to make mlok accessories right, and easier for you the consumer to measure them as being in spec where it counts. I'll probably be going to one of them when my barrel is done, and that'll be mlok to date based on my research.

There's the "loophole" and then there's the loophole. The private seller at the gun show, if there is a loophole there, it is poor enforcement of the law. IF he is doing that more than once in a very long while to liquidate a collection or something, he's a dealer and needs to be licensed as such. Then there's the "loophole" the gun grabbers talk about which is private sales. Well, the federal government hung their gun control hat on the interstate commerce clause. Private citizen to citizen sales within a state are about as absolutely removed from that justification as you can get. To argue against it would be to argue that EVERYTHING is interstate commerce.

Ok, this inspired me to go look anew. 1080p wireless ip cam, ~$60. yagi directional antennas 2@$30 cables to connect antennas to wifi stuff 2@$9 routger - preferably repurpose an old one, the cam is 2.4ghz and so are the antennas. 5ghz would 1.5-2x the price on most of that gear. low wattage inverter 2@ $18. 12 volt batteries 2@???? depends on what level of usage you go for, but going cheap maybe you can get awy with the 4ah landscapig batteries? 2 @17. So you are at $210 before you package that all up into something. Both the router and the camera are likey 12v 1A draw, so you could probably build your own 18650 based multi cell packs for them if you wanted. Maybe $20-25 a piece. easier packaging and setup, more initial work. Still no idea what range you'll get off of any of it though. Realistically, you SHOULD be able to do a monitorless cam like this for like.. $100-150 no batteries. But the reality is it's aniche thing, so that's $300.
