That or the American Defense mount is a nice option. Get the "block" style, the ones that are milled aren't as strong.... not that you plan on dropping your rifle..

I've never noticed on my other optics, but under my aquarium lighting if i catch the light just right it does glare, but its my understanding they all do to some extent. This is a somewhat unrealistic and odd position but it would show the extreme circumstance and what you would see. Odds are the sun would have to be peering right past your right ear from behind to notice anything.

Arcane NJ law prevents retired cops from carrying concealed weapon
It's called a thought process. You want to eliminate people carrying firearms. Keep up buddy. Now your just pulling at straws because I don't think you've offered a single logical argument against my position.

Arcane NJ law prevents retired cops from carrying concealed weapon
No, but by your logic we shouldn't have them because we can save lives by eliminating them.... So if it saves just one life.... Maybe you should be laughing at yourself. But let's stay on topic, although I'm glad you see how silly such an emotional argument can be. Your so concerned with CCW you fail to see how many more people you could save by eliminating swimming pools. So is your objective satisfying the emotional needs of people? Or actually passing laws that make the most difference.

Same, except what gets me going is when people refuse to except disagreements or bother to support their opinions with empirical evidence.

I'm still trying to figure out why you think I never leave my town. Or why you think the only places I travel to or through are low crime areas. By your standards cops in low crime areas don't need guns then...

Well, not for nothing and no offense but your the one flooding the political discussions. I haven't seen much of anything from you as it relates to the hobby.

My numbers are statistically correct. It's called probability, not certainty. Will 40 people die in my town, maybe not, will many in Newark probably.... There is nothing emotional about it. I live in the US and regardless of where my home is I travel through the state and country to parts with low and high levels of crime... There is nothing emotional about it. The fact is, one town over has one of the highest levels of violent crime in this state and county. The fact you think where I live has any impending difference in my safety is a laughable joke. Because crime has "boundaries". I'm glad you took my very empirical statemtns and did nothing but add a level of emotion to it though. Again, point out why we have the problmes we have because we use emotion to drive our decisions instead logical reason. Is it logical to outlaw swimming pools, ya know saving kids lives is much better then the leisurely activity of swimming. Don't assume to know where I live or travel...

Arcane NJ law prevents retired cops from carrying concealed weapon
Author, your entire argument about CCW has been that average Joe isn't trained like cops to carry a weapon in order to prevent the accidents that happen... Your entire argument has been about preserving the general publics safety. It's been pointed out to you, multiple times, that your assertions are not accurate statements, and are purely based on your emotional responses. I'm willing to walk away and agree to disagree, but you want to continue to make false assertions i will be glad to counter them. Again lets try and be objective, maybe you can point out where my emotion is driving my argument... "In 2013, an estimated 1,163,146 violent crimes occurred nationwide" 1 out of every 274 people will be the victim of a violent crime per year according to the FBI crime statistics. Now, lets pretend that a different person is victimized each time over a span of a life time (75 years), that means you have a 1 in 4 chance of being the victim of a violent crime in your life. 1 out of 159,450,000 persons will be the victim of an accident of a CCW per year. Which means in a life time i have a 1 in 2,126,000 chance of being the victim of a CCW accident. I think we can agree on an error rate that some CCW accidents go undocumented, just like many violent crimes go undocumented. So, are you really trying to compare those odds as being the same low chance occurrence? or do you think i cant calculate odds and statistics? By the logic of statistics 40 people in my town will be the victim of violent crime. While .000006 people would be endangered by CCW if it were legal, this year alone. You certainly don't have the authority to come in here and put words in mine or anyone else mouth. Protecting yourself with a gun is a Right, that's not an emotional response... it's a statement written on the governing document of this country and explained in the federalist papers by the people who wrote it. Emotion is a talking point because you have special people trying to ban guns like "assault weapons" when they account for least amount of crime because people feel(see emotion) that people just shouldn't have them... that is an emotional argument... that has literally been an iteration of your entire argument this entire time... Your playing the "if it saves just one life" argument.

Reminds me of Carol Brown..... cops arent the only people with enemies.

Gas Block Install Question: Loctite - Yes or No?
I didn't loctite mine, but honestly, i would use red. The probability of ever having to remove is slim to none in NJ... and it shouldn't ever work its way loose. I dont see a reason not to.

Your entitled to that opinion, but I feel that for the 2 accidental deaths by a CCW a year we can relax with calling it a public concern or pretending that it puts the general publics safety in danger. Any number of things can kill my family, about the last thing I'm worried about is a ccw holder. I have a greater chance hitting the lottery, literally.If you want to claim it is much higher, then by all means have at it, but you also should consider that means many positive aspects of CCW go unnoticed as well. Your making this an emotional issue and it isnt(if it were my kid). Statistically, I have a greater chance being the victim of a crime then the victim of a legal CCW holder. Based on actual logic and not emotion that tells me carrying is more beneficial then not.

Do you want an example? According to the violence policy center. Since 2007, only 21 people were unintentionally killed by CCW holders. I'm still looking for the number of accidental killing by police. However, by any standard is 21 deaths in 8 years what you call a threat to public safety? Apparently people think cops are just as much a threat that they even creating a website for us.https://the7thpwr.wordpress.com/accidental-police-shootings/ FYI, the topic of the thread is CCW and the public, keep it on topic and relavant.

Nonsense. I hate donald trump, but to call him a reality TV star as his title is a pretty far fetched liberal excuse to discount him. Like all you can think of is his TV appearances? That's all the guy has accomplished in his life?
-
Arcane NJ law prevents retired cops from carrying concealed weapon
So you have offered evidence to support that trained officers are less of a public threat than CCW holders? Please point me to that. Not your statements or someone else's statements. Hard empirical data.
-
Arcane NJ law prevents retired cops from carrying concealed weapon
No one cares about drunk driving in a topic about CCW of the average person. To which you made statements about police training and public safety. However, you provided zero data to support any of your statements about average Joe carrying and public safety. Real discussions take place around analyzing data. Like I said, these threads with you have a very low level of discussion because instead of offering evidence, you try and make comparisons. You can't corellate driving drunk with CCW, the fact your trying to tells me alot about the way you reason.

I think you missed the aspect to his statement about not having any factual evidence to support and validate your opinion to start with. We are a rather objectional group of people here, we don't discuss small ideas and assumptions. If you can't articulate your message with a source of credibility, no one is going to care what you say, or they will continue to rip into everything you post. Now I know your not a cop... I'm not sure in what world statements are disproved in ordered to make them viable. God exists, now its your job to prove he doest? What kinda backwards ass thinking is that. He's guilty, prove me wrong. We don't disprove subjective statements with objectional ones. We support subjected statements with objectional facts... The fact is, as a police officer... Your job would entail providing supporting evidence for your legal statements. The fact that aspect of your job doesnt alter your attitude to fact based discussions tells me something about you. Do you tell the judge that a guy was drunk and he was absolutely drunk because he didn't prove to you he wasnt drunk?

I was referencing having a hardware modification that would allow decryption. I think robot is right though, no matter how hard you try there will always be a work around if you make one available.

EPA to ban vehicle modifications
There always has to be someone who ruins it for the rest. It's pretty typical. We used to do a lot of offroading and hunting in certain areas that have access completely blocked off now because people litteraly couldn't help themselves taking advantage of "a good time". People don't understand the concpet of flying under the radar. More often they just don't care... Plenty of car meets I used to go to are completely shut down now because idiots felt doing burn outs in parking lots and speeding out would be a great way to show the community how we operate. It was usually some dipshit in a shitbox too, no one with a respectable car or just respectable in general.
