Apartment living and home defense
The FBI condones the use of #4 buck in critical situations. Not sure, though, whether they mean an outside encounter or inside. #4 buck would be good, IMO.

Legal or Not?
This argument has become so circular. How about this? Both the kid and the cop were idiots. OK? IMHO, I feel the kid set this up. That's my opinion, folks. The officer, trained to use intimidation, took it further than it needed to go. BUT DO YOUR RESEARCH! A stop like this IS PERMITTED under the 4th Amendment so long as they are conducted in a neutral or non-arbitrary manner, their intrusion on the motorist is limited, and they further an important governmental or public purpose. There is no requirement that an officer have a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity to justify the stop. States have the right to not do it, or do it. This procedure has been upheld at the federal level. This took place in Tennessee where it can be done. After looking at the video a few more times two things now come to mind. 1. The kid should have brushed up on his state law. 2. The officer should have deferred this to his supervisor, so the sup could have made the decision to proceed or not proceed. And DO NOT ever question my loyalty to this country or the Constitution to me. Out.

Legal or Not?
First, IMHO the kid was being an asshole. Second, many states have it written in their STATE constitutions that these searches are indeed justified. While his federal rights may or may not have been violated, I don't know. I do know his rights can vary from state to state. For example, in Wisconsin, it's a no go. In New Jersey, the procedure is upheld by state and federal law (depending on their interpretation). See the following link: http://www.ghsa.org/html/stateinfo/laws/checkpoint_laws.html. I also saw many comments on LiveLeaks saying, the cops were Nazi's, Bolsheviks, and in general being idiots. This kids has no idea what it would be like in a circumstance like that.... My father-in-law was in occupied France during WW2 when a Nazi soldier held a Luger to his head and asked where his food was. He was 15 years old. He told the soldier where his food was stashed. If this were truly a police state they would have dragged his ass out of the car, sicked the dog on him, beat the living shit out of him and let him lie in a ditch. I guess, it's a fine line here. If it were me, I think my skin would be thick enough and my ego in tact enough to just answer the questions and go on my way. I don't consider myself a "sheeple", but then again I live in NJ.

Beer Police? WTF.
This whole story smells. Unless ALL the officers all got their intel wrong simultaneously, this was some undercover thing that went horribly wrong. Mistaken identity maybe. The story just seems like spin to save face on a total f**ck up.

Other hobbies.
Besides guns and ammo: Photography Ham Radio (My call is N2ICZ, General License) Talk all the time to other crazy hams in Eastern Europe. All in morse code. Playing old rock and country tunes on the bass guitar My wife says that annoying the living s**t out of her is apparently one of my hobbies...after 24 years I can't see how this is possible, right? I always find time for my children and hopefully my grand kids one day.

Mosin Nagant - Hex or round receiver?
Ok thanks, guys. That's what I thought. I just want one to well...want one. lol In some ads I see a $75-100 dollar difference for the hex. Thought maybe it shot better. Like some have said, the Finns are the way to go for accuracy. Me? My old eyes just want to have a little fun and make the thing go boom.

Carrying in Delaware
I have the non resident FL and Virginia carry permits. And carried concealed in DE last year on business... Not sure what the reciprocity is these days. As for open carry, I would check any local laws to see if there is some wild ass statute or something in place that would make it difficult for you to carry. If not, go for it.

Mosin Nagant - Hex or round receiver?
Surprisingly, I do not yet have a Mosin and am now in the market for one (may throw up a WTB here later). I know there's a difference in price. Is there a functional difference? Or is it strictly a collector's premium in price cause it's an older production? I did a search here but just too much came up for me to sort through. Thanks guys.

Just For fun...
Let's say we have a Jurassic Park situation on our hands. A huge Tyrannosaurus Rex is loose in Trenton and is terrorizing the Law and Public Safety Hearings. State Senator Laura Weinberg has finally come to her senses about gun control and is begging you to take Rex out.. You have only one shot, because New Jersey previously and foolishly voted into law a one round capacity limit as being the nation's model for the safety of all citizens. They can't repeal the law in time, because Rex just ate Steve Sweeney. Senator Greenstein is screaming that the vote still has to go to another committee. What will you use and where will you place your shot? It must be a rifle. Info: T-Rex - 40 feet long, 12 feet high, six tons in weight, can run at 15-20 miles per hour with a 12 -15 foot stride, very thick skull with 60 banana long teeth. My choice? I'd wait until Rex was just about to shit Sweeney out, then fire a .600 Nitro Express into the heart and lungs. Think it'll work?

.22 against Bear???
I suppose one could kill something with anything. But I would not feel comfortable or confident going after a bear with a .22 mag unless I had a wish to be torn limb from limb.
