I have a lower with something similar built in. Be careful with it, you most definitely can adjust it to the point it is unsafe. IMO at the very least check your adjusted position for safety when mortaring your rifle.

Not that you should stop, but that gets you up to date for oh... About two years ago. They are getting extremely small. As for the chips, they have been compromised in the eu for years already.

Given OB posted new rules about range closure for snow, if we get significant snow it'll be canceled.

Disparity of force is recognized in most self defense situations. Kicks like that have been recognized in many courts as potentially lethal force. It has the potential to cripple you or kill you, and multiple attackers increases the credibility of the threat.

Really, cause it's spelled Lemmy.

Look man, you want to buy it, buy it. When you see Damascus knives with firework under $100, they are coming from someplace in Southeast Asia, or China. End of story. There's a whole niche industry of obfuscating the point of origin. I've got one that says made in Italy. Which was also being sold as made in Spain, made in Germany ,etc. most of what you are paying for is to route it through those countries where it possibly receives enough assembly to be 'made in'. I bought mine because I was curious and wanted a pretty knife. It's FAR from master craftsmanship. But it is a real Damascus blank made out of high carbon alloys with a decent edge on it. No idea on the heat treat. At best, I suspect these knives are being finished from blanks in the us. At worst, they are just hitting a shipping agent here. I've seen other brands with similar product doing the same. That being said, my $70 art knife isn't art, but it is a reasonably constructed knife.

If you want a number, when the fbi was compiling such, they had numbers around the 80,000 mark. The methodology made it extremely safe to assume that grossly under counted number of defensive uses.

Cardboard is abusive. The most evil thing I have found for edges was some old shag carpet I had to extract from a crawl space. As for the best cardboard cutter, there were these bulk pack Chinese knives. Total junk. Not really sharp to begin with. But they were like those kid safe pumpkin cutters but for cardboard. You could saw through it pretty quick.

Yes it does. He's the head of the executive branch. He gets to order about all the executive branch agencies. He would be ordering the atf to alter their definition of a dealer. That's a legit process. The problem is if he orders them to alter it to something that over reaches regarding statute or constitutionality. Atf regulates under the guise of interstate commerce. Saying that gives them the right to regulate person to person sales where everyone involved buys in state and keeps it there is a bit of a stretch.

Yeah, but my reading of it is that they got slabs of a big space rock. They are likely just going to mill it and probably heat treat it. Or vise versa.

This all got overblown. S&W farms out the trademark watchdog work to a law firm. This makes sense as s&w branding covers a ton of crap other than firearms. The legal firm saw the dream gun thing and figured this was going to be an ongoing retail offering that would dilute their mark. The actual people in charge of s&w have stepped in and wrangled the stupid already.

Nope, but it should be noted that random rests don't produce as consistent results with polymer framed guns due to the flex.

They overleveraged it to the point it is not sellable. The only buyer interested is one of the Cerberus board members who is offering something like 20 cents on the dollar for it. There supposedly have been accusations the group was deliberately mismanaged to create this fire sale situation so said buyer guy could get himself a privately held manufacturing group at a steep discount. They won't be buying jack.

Because if one keeps writing on the before side of that decision, there's no progress. The town being over run would be progress if they didn't drag it out for half a season.

In knife making, one of the more common problems is getting the blade hard enough. Which is why they usually laminate the meteorite metal. In a pistol, the hardness is much lower. Something like 32 on the Rockwell scale vs 52-62 iirc. A barrel of standard barrel steel, removable/replaceable breech face, and a hardened impact face in the frame like you might see on an aluminum alloy frame would get you a good chunk of the way there I suspect.

The link to the letter is hosted someplace else. The problem everyone is complaining about is with the tpath site. Despite the sinister musings, it could be something as simple as they went to update the site and broke it. Or that their host gave them warnings about needing ot update something for security, they didn't, and they got their site yanked until they do so. Or that the host did a hardware move and everything was supposed to work fin e but didn't. Most sinister thing that is actually likely is they had a crap host who folds like oragmi for anything DMCA related and someone from the state's side of things made a DMCA claim against posted content as being property of the court or something and reproduced without permission.

The bigger problem is that it's just a list of names. If one John smith is on it, ALL John smiths are on it. It's not even full names sometimes. So j. Smith? Then even more people get screwed. The ACLU won round one of the watch list litigation already and are going back for round two as the government seemed to fail to grasp what the court said. Of course the aclu thinks it is fine to use for gun control, and Feinstein's bill creates a whole new secret list so that we'd have to go to court again starting from zero.

That is actually a more pertinent point than you realize. It is most definitely the key point of the law when you get down to it as it is the hard point to prove. Holds 15 rounds? easy to prove. Reliable? Kind of needs a standard which is not spelled out in the law. You don't see a lot of examples of the law being used ot much effect, and I suspect that is the key driver of why. That and the fact that it seldom comes up as a single stand alone charge.

I figured, I was just looking for typical response time.

IMO, and I am not a lawyer, the closest thing to look at for an example would be the substantially identical verbiage in the AWB that went to court. In that case, substantially identical is a phrase with a decent amount of legal history in the financial world, the law as structured really kind of made it meaningless as it did not originally provide enough information to make the phrase have meaning, and thus the evil features list had to come about. In the case of justifiable need, there is little way to determine the meaning of that phrase from the law itself. Usually when you see something like that, the law either gets struck down, or if the intent appears to be to delegate definiing it to a regulatory authority, they defer to a definition put forth by said regualroty authority. given the wording of the law, THe judicial branch is the overseer of abuse, which would mean that it's executive branch stuff. Which would be something you define in administrative code. The interpretation of the meaning of that phrase.

OK, once again today, I post and then the answer shows up before anyone can answer. THe answer is that yes they will call you back if you just leave your message. It jsut may take a little while.

I am trying to order something from them. Their order line seems to be an answering machine. Is leaving a message with your contact info an what youa re trying to buy sufficient to actually get called back, or do you need to keep trying until you get a human, send it via carrier yeti, sacrifice a goat, etc?

CAre to elaborate on CCATS, because google isn't helping me. Too many uses of the acronym and none of them look pertinent to a middlesex county mental health hit. Of course as soon as I post that, I finally dig it up. Civil Commitment Automated Tracking System it's a NJ acronym for them submitting everything and the kitchen sink in the pile of shitty dta labeled "mental health system" to NICS.

It's one of many unpleasant conversations that come with aging.

I'm agree, but my take on it was this is a new gun or newly ceracoated, which could mean disassembled into very small parts by someone who is not the best armorer. DOA ejector was primarily where I was aiming with that suggestion. I'm with you that they don't tend to go bad but mostly get assembled or reassembled incorrectly. It would help to know if they were staying part way in the chamber.
