Cops shoot (and Kill) window smasher in Cali (With Video)
j0n I could be wrong but I don't see how having 1 prong of a taser in you and one out will deliver any shock to you unless you're barefoot on bare ground or something. You need to complete a circuit in order for electricity to go through. The 2 prongs does that, so that charge goes from one prong to the other and back to the battery. Also if you're grounded 1 prong will deliver some charge from the battery through you to the ground. But most shoes/clothing are insulators and having just 1 prong connect won't complete a circuit so the charge has nowhere to go.

Plastic Cased Ammunition
Not sure if stuff is getting lost in translation so to speak, but that guy doesn't sound like much of an engineer if he said the barrel/chamber wouldn't get hot from firing plastic cased ammo. As has been noted the heat comes from the combustion of the powder. Anyway, that being said there are plenty of composite materials that can withstand the high temperatures in a gun. The key is what other characteristic are they shooting for. Generally I would wager that such a material will be more expensive right now than brass/aluminum/steel.

Tune Up Your Gun Handling
One of the reasons I'm weary about going to a public range anymore is that I seem to be a lot more aware of the piss-poor gun handling habits of most people and frankly it scares me. When I visited CJRPC, the pits were the thing that sold me on the club right away.

Plastic Cased Ammunition
Oh I'm not saying it's easy or that we'll solve the issues in the near term, but IMO it's a worthy goal. Caseless ammo and more energetic powder will mean the ability to carry a large number of ammunition for troops.

good tactical winter coat?
Haha, made me snort some coke zero out my nose when I read that

good tactical winter coat?
Jackets are easy. As stated lots of companies make really good ones (North Face, Columbia, Arc'teryx, etc). Same for pants and boots etc. What I have problem with are gloves. I have yet to find a pair of gloves that will keep my hands warm in really cold weather and still have enough dexterity to handle even common tasks, much less a trigger properly. Usually I have to remove the glove to do anything requiring fine motor control.

NYSRPA Applauds Gov. Cuomo's Plan to Abolish CoBIS Program
LOL, I was just going to say, this is what happens when everybody thinks shows like CSI, NCIS, etc are reality... some people out there actually think that ballistics of a gun are like a fingerprint that never changes.

+1 Bry@n
Bry@n's the man! Not only did he hook me up with the NRA lifetime membership but he made sure to call me and give me the number before I received the packet so I could have it for my CJ app tomorrow. AND he contacted the CJ VP to check that it will be ok if I don't have the official card tomorrow. Bryan man, I owe you some beers or something (or some ammo!).

Cops shoot (and Kill) window smasher in Cali (With Video)
That kind of BS infuriates me the most nowadays. It just shows such an immense level of ignorance on so many levels not just firearms. Yea let's take a warning shot and possibly kill or injure an innocent from ricochet etc.... not even going to address the shoot in the leg/arm/etc comments since that's obviously retarded. I guess that's the problem with majority of population getting their education about firearms from movies and anti-gunner media.

SO does any one else??
Technically you're not supposed to advertise it....

Can you really be considered a "Lethal Weapon" with training?
I guess the moral of the story is to make sure your lawyer is better than their lawyer. IMO this talk of stopping as soon as the threat is neutralized is a bit of arm-chair quaterbacking, similar to when people question why cops/etc don't shoot perps in the arm/leg/shoulder etc. Once the adrenaline is flowing and your fight/flight response is in full gear things take on a bit of a different perspective.
