That's not the point anyone is making. In your home, you have no duty to retreat, AKA stand your ground. So if you put body armor on, grabbed your pistol and confronted someone in your home you are within the law. If you shoot that person, you need to show cause that your life was threatened. Nothing states you must meet them with equal force. The prosecution can only argue that your life was not threatened. With a dead bad guy laying in your home it would be a hard case to convict unless you shot him in the back or they were able to show he did not advance toward you at the time. In my home, any unwelcome guests advancement toward me, with the simple direction to leave from me, will be shot if he advances.. In my home if you advance towards me, knowing full well i have a firearm, i will take that as a threat against my life. It is acceptable to believe his intent is malicious. By your standards it may well be to late to defend yourself by the time your justifiable need is met. i do not know if the man has hand to hand training, which i do not, if he has a concealed weapon or not. I will not wait for either of those things to be revealed if i know he is advancing towards me..

The honest answer is, NO. Nothing specifically indicates it would be made by colt.. It might have markings on it like a-3 a-4, but that is not always, and who's to say its not a knockoff with markings... Sometimes you just have to pay retail for something, and they go for like $120+ from BCM spikes RRA, but they are all 100% authentic. You don't necessarily need a colt handle, most of the quality ones are the same construction wise, so maybe find one cheap that has markings on it like the RRA's.

I found a good deal on gun broker for those new DYNEEMA plates, but it seems too good to be true... They have them in Level III as well, but 2x the price. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=349920669

I'm gonna have to try some different orientations with my Eotech, i know polarization is dependent on the orientation of the lens, not so much the angle. People can inverse gauge cluster colors on bikes buy simply replacing the polarization film and turning the new film on the lcd screen until you get the desired result. So turning the sight 90 degrees might cause an issue but i need to check that out. I actually didn't realize there was a polarizing element on the sight, and if they differ then yea, definitely going to vary. I know companies like Oakly have been improving their polarized lenses over the years, so not all sunglasses will perform the same, too.

altering peoples perception of reality? really? Our gooberment does a pretty good job doing that with out any chemicals.... were not talking about acid here...

Soon. Read somewhere closing arguments by the end of the week. Jury will drag out the deliberation to make it look like a hard choice.

Your Taxation point is a little off. Taxes were instated from the "mother land", hence the no taxation with out representation... and the money was more or less being sent back over the Atlantic. Think of it like a country which starts to strip resources from another, at some point the people are going to realize there being duped, taxes are supposed to be a re-investment. I'm not much of a history buff so my point isn't 100% accurate, but today the tax situation is MUCH different. We have representatives controlling taxes, from the local state and federal level, and the money they collect stays here more or less. Back then it was much different in terms of who decided what and how much was taxed, and where the money went. The issue wasn't the high taxes. I don't mind paying taxes when i see that we benefit from it, back then no one here benefited from taxes..

I don't have issues with my sunglasses, and i looked around before trying it out and most people didn't have to much of an issue with it.. I had a pretty hard time finding a decent picture of one with a good sight picture, but yes focusing through the kill flash will blurr it. Think of it like a window screen, if you focus on it close up its hard to see out of, but we can look right through it at longer focus distances. This should cut down on the light washing out the dot, but it's inevitable that the dot will need adjustment from extremes. It is a type of shade device that allows light in perpendicularly, so it puts the lens in the shade more often. Think of it like a semi cloudy day, the shade rolls in the dot gets brighter, when it rolls out the dot gets dimmer, so what is the lowest essential setting?

By design they do cut down on the light received, but they are on the front of the optic... not sure if they will actually do anything for the glare on the rear lens... I'm not entirely sure, but i believe glare is a principle of refracted light, its what the lens is NOT allowing to pass through. Also, not all kill flashes are made the same, some have large/small thick/thin honeycombs, This is where high quality anti-glare coatings are helpful. This is a Aimpoint M4 You could also try polarized sunglasses, not sure if would cut down on the glare thou

He's suggesting NOT utilizing the roll crimp in the seating die, which is fine if you use a separate die to crimp. I do both in the same step for 9mm and never had any issues, since i literally just take the bell off the case, and don't actually crimp. It saves me a spot on the press for my powder cop, and i've herd of more headaches from the hornady powder through expander dies for their powder drop. I have thought about it, and i can actually piece together a kit, it just comes out to way more then the set is worth.. I really like the bullet sleeve in the seating dies from hornady.

armalite and colt never had the rights to AR's and 1911's. that's the price of doing business with the military. I believe those designs were open to the market so other companies could compete for contracts.. I believe John Browning licensed the 1911 patent. Like said, people put a lot of money time and risk into developing something, why on earth should someone be able to just walk by take your hard work and make money off it? Basically, if what you said were true, a company would spend money on a project and would never see a profit if someone else sold your product... they could sell it for much less and still make a profit..because thay have no R&D investment costs.... You ever wonder why china knocks off everything? because very little is actually developed there, so what do they lose? We give companies the right to make money off what they developed, and once enough time has gone by for them to make a profit and recoup development costs the patent expires.. at which point they can compete with companies actually selling the knockoffs. And they Are not clones, there are still industry secrets that never make it on the patents themselves. Take coke for instance... And rarely is something ever an exact copy, which is what a clone would be. I think it was Remington that had an issue with supplying the ACR because the military wanted to share the design with others.

Nothing is keeping non-members from entering and using the range, on the .22 range Saturday afternoon around 4, me and a friend were the only ones occupying it. an RO passed through maybe every hour, and the RO disappeared on the 100 line previous to that for about 2 hours... Not a big deal with the RO's not being around, as everyone keeps an eye out for each other. However, anyone can gain access to the range, whether they plan on using it or not, or even starting trouble. Since the place is so open it's a good idea to keep track of who is allowed entry to the property just like a private club would do.

Place was empty after 1:30 this past saturaday, but it was also hot as hell and a holiday weekend.

I have it set at midway but I'm looking for the taper set. Date keeps getting pushed back. I can find the roll crimp set on places like eBay.

It's always open for now. They haven't been very clear on when it will be operational but I have my key for it, said it would take time to activate the key like 3 months or so. But they give out the code for it, even tho like they said it will probably remain open for a while.

If he's trying to find the hornady ones, good luck...been trying for a couple months now..

The one that shoots little alien men which eat your target from the inside out!

Please, I'm dieing to know how people speeding, who get tickets for it.... is the same thing as an LEO not running front plates knowing he will never get a ticket for it? and some how your comment on working holidays fits in? I'm not following.. not complaining either, but to justify it is just plain wrong.

Is that supposed to be some sort of justification?

I don't think one person here has questioned the legality of the stop, we have beaten that discussion to death, kinda like this one now. The guy knew the state law pretty well considering his statement. " I am required to stop, i stopped, that is all i am required to do" I really don't see the relevance if the kid set this up or not, and from the video maybe he had a good reason to do so.. In all seriousness, if we the people don't get on top of things like this, no one will. If they are willing to do this over something so little, it really makes you think what else they might do in a more serious instance...

A flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor: that's one evil feature. So AFAIK, you can have a threaded barrel and put anything non-permanent on the end except a sound suppressing device.. You only meet the criteria for one of the listed items which is number 4 on the list.

It would probably cost the same as a wrench to do it.. probably a $20 job... maybe free if u know someone with a wrench already..

he didn't refuse to roll down his window, it was rolled Down plenty enough to communicate. Why must it be all the way down? How is having you window half open provoking anything? Cop got pissed the kid didn't do what he was told when he was told. Plain and simple. You can hear it in his voice. Don't act like the guy had the window all the way up and refused to open it or cracked it an inch. None of this would have happened if the officer could get past the kid not wanting to put his window all the way down.. ALL of that is affirmed by EVERYTHING that happened from that point further. IN FACT the kid had a reason to keep the window up a little judging by the fact the officer tried to open the door numerous times.

I haven't ventured into rifle re-loading yet, i don't really shoot to much precision rifle, basically like you said it's almost a buck a pop. I wanted to get into rifle reloading last summer but never got around to it and now, well, i cant find any components, so i just buy a few boxes of the match ammo every couple months and make it count. Once i can get some components stocked(powder and primers) i will eventually end up buying the reloading gear.. which is mainly just case prep stuff. Kinda kills me to know i can roll my own but literally cant get what i need. I just thought it was a bit ironic that some of the higher grade stuff was only a bit more expensive then plinking ammo, which was never the case... it kinda justifies buying it... and i just supplement my stocked plinking ammo and keep the brass.. i really dont plan on buying manufactured ammo anymore, but the market dictates otherwise...

The vtac i know comes with fasteners on each end that allow you to open up the loop and put what ever you want on the end. You could take it off and sew the swivel on. I think almost all slings come this way, you almost always have to buy the attachment points separate unless it specifically includes them.
