Yes, an impressive Wall of Zombies, as it were. I've also heard cannibalism mentioned in connection with Terminus. Have not yet gotten to the part on TTD where they discuss that.

Reminded me of an old Bryan Regan bit: "I call that desk!". "Yes Bryan, we all do."

Nice promo Ant! Where are you going to be showing it?

2nd Amendment article
Good article! It reaffirms our need to redouble our efforts to prevent the government from disarming us.

Craziest training
Holy crap! You really better pray that your partner is a good shooter on those. And why was the one guy wearing a mask? Was it Putin? Did you notice that the guy had at least one, and maybe two AD's where he almost shot himself in the foot?

S251 Title: Clarifies definition of reasonably necessary deviation when legally transporting firearm or weapon in motor vehicle.
Yes, and that's supposedly what they "gave" us in exchange for the ten round mag limit. Hey, thanks a lot a-holes!

A slide that doesn't lock back could get you killed!
Thanks HE. Those pictures really make it clear.

Saiga / AK Variant in .223/5.56
I didn't know (or care) anything about AK's until a few weeks ago. Saw a Saiga sports model (NJ legal out of the box) in 7.62 on sale and bought it. I did not have anything before that in that caliber, but I noticed it's about $100-150 per 1000 less than .223/5.56. I still like my AR a lot better, but I can afford to shoot the AK a lot more

Anyone wanna bet how this one is going to turn out? What kind of odds do you think you could get if you were betting against it's passing?

Refresher on EMP please
I heard somewhere that a microwave oven is a good Faraday cage. I had an old clunker I was going to get rid of, but decided to save it. It seems to work. When I place my cellphone in it and dial it from my house phone, it doesn't ring. My concerns are, first how will I know that an EMP is coming, to put my stuff in there? Second, will it really work? And third, if the grid is fried, what use is the stuff I've saved (as checko noted above).

Got the same letter from Christie. I had told him that the legislature was about to present him with a unique opportunity to demonstrate his support of 2A to the rest of the nation by vetoing this bill.

Walther PPQ M2 5"
I thought my handgun collection was complete, but I'm really liking this one. Saw it featured on American Rifleman last week, and it looked pretty sweet. Not sure if I'm ready to go through the whole permit BS again.

A slide that doesn't lock back could get you killed!
Well a big thanks to all who took the time to reply. Let me try to address a few of the points that were raised. HE, I will respect and defer to your professional expertise. As a trained civilian, I was only aware of having the need and time for a press check on an administrative load. I don't even know how I would accomplish that in the dark. I suppose feeling for the LCI would be a good habit to acquire. PK90, it could be some wear, as both of those guns and their mags have a few thousand rounds through them. Glockandcolts, those are the only two of my handguns with which that happens, so while it could indeed be user error, I'm not sure. John3754, I just got some new mags, and I don't think it's happening with them. Mr. Stu, I didn't realize what had gone wrong until immediately afterward. At that moment, I wasn't sure what I was dealing with, so rather than stand in front of two armed hostiles trying to clear a jam of unknown origin, I just dove for cover without really thinking about it. Barms, it took me quite awhile to break the habit of racking one out on a tac reload. I was under the impression that it's not good to lose a round, but I understand your point. Mach 16lt, I agree with you that one should train to do the same thing every time. Even under the minimal stress of class scenarios, I find that I default to whatever I am accustomed to doing, without really thinking about it.

Best theory so far for the disappearance o flight MH370.
Or they could target Israel. I'm inclined to agree with the hijacking for nefarious purposes theory. And yes, I have given considerable thought to the possibility of an EMP. I am far from an expert on this, but it seems like they could try for a direct hit with a nuke, or if they don't make it, settle for a blast in the sky to create an EMP.

A slide that doesn't lock back could get you killed!
All right relax, no one died. But I have a couple of handguns that occasionally do not lock back when they are empty, namely my Glock 34 and Springfield XD9 SC. I have heard that it could be an issue with magazines, or it could be something to do with my thumb position, but it happens intermittently, so it's tough to track down. So Sunday evening I'm in a GFH class, and we're doing a low light drill. I engage a threat from behind cover; move to another cover and engage two more threats. Just before I'm about to do a simulated room entry, I do what I think is a tactical reload. I then burst through the doorway, shine my light on the targets, look for my sights, and "click." I involuntarily shout the obligatory, "Oh, shit!" I rush back out of the room, tap and rack; and realize that I had no round in the chamber when I reloaded. Luckily for me, the targets weren't shooting back, so I went back into the room and engaged them. Had it been a real life encounter, it could have ended quite badly for me. Just thought some might find that interesting, or at least amusing. Any thoughts?

5 reasons you cant find 22lr!
I couldn't endure nearly 12 minutes of his "you know"s. What were his five reasons? I made it through: .22 is popular, people are buying it whenever it becomes available.

Yes, that indeed makes a lot more sense than a random fire. Good call Shawn.

SAF v NJ (MULLER et al v. MAENZA et al)
Yes, I was going to mention that. Thank you for beating me to it. Olderguy, wouldn't that be something if you got your carry permit because they forgot to deny you in time? OTOH, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

The Walking Dead
OMG, that was brutal! Unlike the more prescient among you, can't say I saw it coming; although, I was pretty convinced all along that it was Lizzie feeding the walkers at the prison fence. When Carol and Tyrese saw the sister (Mika?) on the ground, I kept wondering why they didn't check to see if she was still alive. After all, Carl survived a wound from a hunting round. But I guess it wasn't in the script for her. When Carol led Lizzie out to the flowers, and we all knew what was going to happen, I couldn't help thinking that the scene was reminiscent of the end of Of Mice and Men, where George tells Lenny to think of the rabbits just before he has to shoot him. Nice tribute to Steinbeck.

I like the idea the antis have of tackling the shooter between mag changes. Unarmed victim at shooting: "Let's see, did he fire 8 shots or was it 9? I think it was 9." Hears another shot and rushes shooter. Hears, "Bang!" Dying thought: "I guess it was only 8..."

Ammo shortage to worsen?
Just took a quick peek at a couple of websites, and it looks like 7.62 is disappearing.
