I commend your wife. Your story has been a great point of conversation for me and mine. I have two thing to convey to you. The first is my story, although it is a retelling from another. Before I deplyed to Iraq we would seek out those that were there to get a sense of things. One guy told us the following; "There we were stopped and resting in the middle of no where. All of our trucks filled with JP8 (jet fuel) when the mortars came in. The guys I was talking to ran to their trucks like many others. I was trying to get a sense of where they were shooting from. What happened next I never expected. The guys that hadn't gone through Desert Storm had run for their cameras and were hoping to get a shot of a round going off. Afterwards they could not believe what they had done, but at the time there was no conception that what could go wrong was actually happening now." I always remembered that. The first taste is always a lot of, "wow is this really happening?" So I can understand how your wife could end up on the front step in that situation. The next is my wife's story she told me tonight. " I was living in East Harlem, (6 white women in a building by themselves) and we had a window over the door. No one would ever open the door to a person they didn't know because even though we didn't want to appear racist the people we met in the neighborhood told us specifically 'in this neighborhood you have to do such and such'. So one day this young black man came to the door and none of us was expecting visitors. We didn't answer the door when he knocked. He kept knocking. Next thing we know he is up in the window over the door knocking on the window yelling "is anybody home!" He did this for a little while and my roomate shouted at him 'what the hell do you want!" He was a florist deliveryman and had bunch of flowers for my wife. It was her birthday and her sister in law had assured him she was home. So there is my long way around saying, Your wife could have done better and worse." But I think she did a great job thinking and not shooting and the lessons she takes from the experience will make her safer in the long run.

Oh my God that is so frikkin' funny!

And your numbers come from where?

Again, once you read this bill you realise that this bill does not say they want a list of NRA members. The NRA merely falls under the definition of an "issue advocacy organization." A small point to split hairs on since the end result is the same thing if you re to contribute more than $2,100 pre year, but the alert headline sounds a little bit like a manipulation.

I didn't comment because the story linked doesn't say what the OP says it says.

You are traking it pretty well. There may be some kind of spring thing involved but if it is it is probably some kind of little ball with a spring behind it, similar to the way the Mossberg 500 safety slider works Removing the cocking handle is not a unit level maintenace item so I never actually got a look at the insides. But for what its worth if you pull on the cocking handle a certain way you will never get it to slide. usually it took a tiny upward movement. I guess they figured that they didn't have to design it for upside down carry. I dont really think it was tension or friction, it felt more like a notch it fell into. Very small.

Hell my iPod is now housing all the "vintage" stuff that the kids I work with like to check out for "cool stuff they never heard."

Ya, well, if you own a PS 3 get MAG. It isn't perfect but it has the masses of pleyers. So addictive I shot my CD so I could get on with my life

I would suggest a deep inspection of the M249. It is merely a slide with no springs and it locks forward with a tiny detent. The springs are on the bolt only.

Fighting Fire with fire. Well done.

Great for squirrel hunting I bet. Although not historicaly accurate, the modern SAW has a charging handle that does not move with the bolt. Might solve that problem, although half the "coolness" is the handle racking and spitting out the brass. Actually come to think of it, even the Browning .50 cal of the era has a separated charging handle.

For the record, you can own a handgun in your property and in a rental property in New York City. You can also own a handgun for protection in your store. The issue is that everyone seems to think it is impossible to get. The key sentence in that report is that they are "handing out applications." Just yesterday I was talking with this woman about shooting and she mentioned that she gave it up when she moved here (I work in Manhattan) from Connecticut because it was illegal. Not true but she believed it, so she never applied. I even brought my old NYC premise permit to work to prove it to her and I am going to assist her in getting hers. As bad as NYC is, you don't have every little podunk PD making up their own rules. You call one number at the NYPD license division and the people that answer are definitive authorities and in most cases are the final say in the matter. But they aren't going to give a permit out if you never apply.

Maybe I am jaded, but I remember laughing at a guy in NYC back in the 80's for talking into a croissante. and I know plenty of people that picked up a bannana and played like it was a phone too. The weird stuff people like to pick up on.

Brattleboro , VT LOL!

A device like this is the next logical technological step for police work. At anytime police are told to "be on the lookout for..." It isn't humanly possible to remember and process all of that while driving or watching traffic roll by.

I have that new Optimum service where tv, internet and phone goes through the same cable. It already has an old entry point up at the roof line. You can see where the cable guys just ran it down the side of the house into the basement. Completely unneccesary.

Just started making plans for the Mossberg gun loc myself. Mossberg shotgun lock

It seems they are just piling on more of the same. When I got mine (NYC premise, handgun)I had to prove "gainful employment," as one of many hoops.

Do it. My PD did it in the the station.

Ya know, sometimes your read a post like this and you just say, hmm, that sucks. Then you think a bit about it and the next day it hits you. So I looked at where my phone and internet connections come into the house. Ground level. I don't know how any of the previous owners of this house ever thought that was a good idea. Well now I need to get that fixed.

I don't want to try to sound like I am convincing your or anything, but people break into cars too. Quite often actually.

The Humungus Rules and Guidlines at the top of the page is a little annoying but the new available options are quite nice.

I don't want my paperwork to go with the gun if it gets stolen somehow. One copy of the Purchase permit goes to the PD that generated it, in some form or another. If they want to know if it is mine they have ways to find out.

pilot story I wouldn't say this is completely on topic, but the other forums I frequent have a lot to say about this poor guy. Seems this year has seen a a number of incidents where federal agents have detained people at gun point that have recycled regisration numbers on their aircraft. This guy carries a pistol with him because he moves gold.

That isn't true. If you fear someone's life is in danger it is in danger. That rules "in" deadly physical force. A bat would be perfectly fine. Probably a very satisfying sound too.
