Stupid. You're gonna take on criminals all by yourself? Your perceived duty to act is no different than from some CCWer's fantasy that they will save the day all by themselves when the situation arises. Chances are, if you saw a crime happening, your best bet is to do what you LEOs tell us civies to do... call the Police and don't get involved until they arrive.

Sorry, we need to stop treating LEOs as a group of 'special' people. They serve at the People's behest, not the other way around.

Honestly, I'm surprised we have no former military here talking about shooting a 120mm tank gun, or a 155mm howitzer...

Plastic ammo was never about lowering costs, but weight.

No, but rejection of a CCW is. But as I said, I don't think there is a statute or AC which says you become a 'prohibited person' if you're rejected for a CCW. That's an entirely different requirement. Also, you have room on those forms to explain why you got rejected on the CCW (no justifiable need)... so it's not a major hurdle for the local PD to confirm that.

It's not up to him. It's up to the CLEO and a Judge. Even if you had the CLEO on your side, the Judge would be a tougher sell. So, unless you hang around Police Chiefs and Judges all day that will let you do this, then it's highly doubtful. I wonder what happens during the NICS check though... like if you applied for CCW and got rejected, then what is stopping you from just saying that. All it meant was that you didn't meet the impossible to define 'justifiable need' to getting CCW. It doesn't mean you're a prohibited person though.

LMT, Noveskse, Colt, BCM, and a few others are in the top tier, where their quality is almost unquestioned. Stag, PSA, S&W, etc. are mid-tier. Quality, but a bit more decently priced. Bushmaster isn't even really a brand anymore, they just build ARs out of Remington's Ilion, NY plant. So for all intents and purposes, they are Remington.

I'm sorry, but what makes a Fingerprint background check so special? They have your Driver's ID, they have your social, what more will fingerprints give them? Dumb...

RTSP rents a G30... you can try theirs.

Welcome back, proceed to increase the magazine capacity of your firearms from 10 to 15. Also, dump the bullet buttons, flash hiders, etc. at the door on your way in.

It's tough to go for true 'caseless' ammo due to the fragility of the energetic components, and their exposure to the elements. The HK G11 (awesome futuristic gun) used caseless ammo, but they found out that in hot, humid, and cold environs, the ammo would deteriorate and becomes junk. It's tough to beat metal cased ammo, as it seals the cartridge and protects against the elements. It's also durable and easy to manipulate. This telescoped ammo that ARDEC is developing is not dissimilar from 7.62x38mmR used in the Nagant M1985. Except instead of a metal casing, it's plastic with some metal to hold the primer cup.

Glock 30, 10 round mag. Can also use 13 rounders from a Glock 21 (full size)

Picatinny is developing cased telescoped plastic ammunition for squad machine gunners. They're using modified M249s to test. It's not so much about saving money for the DoD, but reducing weight for the SAW gunners... or just making them carry the same weight with more ammo. http://kitup.military.com/2011/07/revolutionary-ammo-set-for-troop-test.html

Personally shot in my hand? .50cal M107 at HOTEX... Where I pulled a string? XM806 Lightweight .50cal MG...

Gotta sell what you don't shoot. Simple as that. If you're gonna collect, buy stuff worth collecting. If you own guns for practical purposes, then buy them based on what you like to shoot, and how often you do it.

Enjoy! May it be the first of many Glocks in your life!

Reading the new book now. I love it. Makes me glad I went for the Glock as my main pistol type. Never looking back from that decision.

I dunno about you guys, but when I think of these dumb ideas that the politicians cooked up, I try and put myself in the detective's shoes trying to figure out what happened and who did it... Chances are you find a few spent brass... that'll give you the caliber... maybe the 'boys at the lab' can tell you which gun probably shot it... Or maybe not. But let's say they do, and are like "it was a Glock!" So what then? Look up everyone who owns a Glock and track them down? Okay... that's like 30 million people. Even if you narrow it down to a few folks who had the MO to commit the crime, what's stopping them from tossing the weapon in the Passaic River? Useless. There is no substitute for good detective work...

Go with the brake. You can always remove it later and you have options. Plus it looks better than one without it. I personally think slant brakes are pretty neat on an AKM type rifle.

Even then, they still had piss poor matching rates. One number I remember was as low as 40% success using that method...

Not to mention, shows like CSI, NICS, etc. would be dead in the water if the perp used a revolver. No casings to collect there. Besides which: even if you got the casing, all it can do is match to a type of gun... Glock firing pin mark, S&W marks, etc.

Disrespectful how? The President isn't some royal who needs a plush wet kiss planted on his a** whenever he beckons... As for the country? How is the country disrespected by this?

No rails... 1911s look silly with them.

S&W .22-A, good .22lr pistol.
