AR calibers
I'd really appreciate a quick tutorial on the pros and cons of AR style rifles/carbines in 5.56 NATO, 6.8 SPC and 7.62 NATO, including effective range and accuracy. This could be pressed into home defense role, but would primarily be a range firearm. Looking to get it scoped eventually. Ammo expense seems reasonable to me, given how much higher performance rifle rounds are versus handgun ammo. It does seem the larger bores are less common and more $. I just like buying effective calibers, my handguns are .45acp and .357 Magnum, so I've not considered AR replicas in 22lr. Thanks, Blue1

SSN Cards
I've never had to show my card. The number you give when you apply for a job is verified once you go on the payroll and the employer starts collecting weekly deductions. Blue1

transport question
I normally transport my handguns locked inside a locked case with empty mags in the trunk. Also in the trunk is an unlocked bag with ammo, muffs, glasses, etc. Can I load my mags and keep them in the bag with the other ammo? Can I load speedloaders and keep them in the bag? Thanks, Blue1

Problems with upstairs neighbor
The cop was a douchebag, he could've chilled this a-hole with a just a few words right after he threatened you (take him aside and say, "listen a-hole, if I have to come back here for car damage, I'm gonna f*ck with you big time"). Blue

FID change of address question
Geez, isn't this a no brainer? Don't change your driver's license until you move to your permanent address. You have three months, and that is hard for authorities to pin down the date. I've gone six months on an out of state license, try to avoid being pulled over, but how many times has and LEO asked you if the address on your current license is your current address? Blue P.S. Of course, this goes for any vehicle registrations also, you don't want to explain a document discrepancy at a road stop

I am NOT the guy that careens thru the lanes with no blinkers. I don't flash lights, nor get pissed off, I will wait for an opening and get around you. And I will not return the favor, I will just go on my way. You can continue to be a dick to people if that's what gets you off. A lot of people do that when they are on the road, safely in their car; most dicks don't behave like that when they are face-to-face. In any case, I didn't intend to get into a pissing contest with you, I don't agree with how some of my friends drive, but we're still friends. Blue1

Why would you not just move over if you can? Really, are you the now the state's speed enforcer? Is it some kinda ego thing? Failure to keep right is the law, just like the speed limit. So it's ok for you to violate the keep right law, but not ok for me to speed, and you are the judge. F*ck that. Blue1

That's funny on the surface, but that driver should've have been ticketed. Failure to Keep Right.

I specifically mentioned, "if moving to the right is possible", geez, read what I wrote, and try to reply without the spin. And you are correct, as*holes that refuse to move right when possible ARE my problem if I want to pass, but that doesn't excuse their lawbreaking, so that "two wrongs don't make a right" comment you made cuts both ways and applies to left lane d*cks, too. Police need to enforce keep right laws, and they don't. They wouldn't have to if speed limits in this state were reasonable, that is why police routinely allow traffic up to eighty MPH on some highways. Hey, don't get me wrong, I get PO'd when someone 'gates me if we are in traffic, I'm keeping up, and there is no where else to go. I usually, but not always, travel at the highest speed I believe is safe to travel, once that criteria is established, then my personal limit is how fast I can go without getting cited. Sometimes I find someone 'gating me and realize I wasn't keeping up or otherwise not paying as much attention as I should to the task...when that happens, I feel humbled and apologetic and move over for them (and let them run interference for me if I am comfortable travelling at their speed), I don't throw a hissy fit and clog up the road for everyone behind me that have places to go, things to do and people to meet.

Are you hogging the left lane? I don't 'gate people unless they are either, a) causing a clusterf*ck by not keeping up with traffic flow or b) refuse to yield to faster traffic in the left lane when moving over is possible. Which, btw is a traffic violation in its own right. No matter how fast you are going, that is a separate issue. Blue1

Going to Ocean City Maryland for beach vacation. I see there is a range in Berlin, MD, about twenty minutes away from our rental. Anyone have any idean how many laws I would be breaking by transporting my handguns down there and keeping them in the rental unit when not going to the range? Will be travelling through PA and DE on the way down and back home. Blue1

alloy
I bought a new 686 Plus S&W 7-shot revolver in brushed stainless steel. Nice piece. Anyone out there know what stainless steel alloy is used? Hardness? It is my understanding that the more stainless/rust-free and non-magnetic SS alloys are not as hard, due to alloy or heat treatment restrictions. Thanks, Blue1
