You read my mind Bob. I was looking to see if speed limits could be based on arbitrary number to just maybe save one life the way mag limits are. Glad someone was able to read between the lines on this questions.

Nope no ticket, no traffic stop. Just a question about how the government determines how to do things whether by scientific findings or pure arbitrary pick a number.

Interesting, lots of words but what does the one line I left say about all that verbiage?

Thanks, but that does not say how they are set and what the laws are in relation to establishing them. I vaguely recall something to the effect that they must do traffic studies and cannot set the limit lower than what some percentage of cars are actually driving at but not sure what that percentage is.

This may seem like a strange question but I am wondering what the laws are in regard to the way speed limits are set. I vaguely recall that they can just arbitrarily set them and that they must do traffic studies and apply by certain standards. Is that true, and does anyone know what those standards and laws are?

What Handyman and AVB-AMG wrote are very true, yet still no guarantee. I have never until recently been happy with any contractor. We have a great HVAC firm owner in our development and he has done great work for me. I have also recently used a big outfit called Monks and they do good work. I have a long story about an addition we did years ago. I interviewed many General Contractors and finally found one I liked that was willing to work with me for a fair price. I had gone and looked at a few projects he had done recently and talked to the homeowners about the work. I then drew up a contract. He asked me if I was a lawyer (I am not) as he never saw such a detailed contract. I asked him how long the job would take and he said six weeks. I told him I would give him 90 days and he insisted it would only take six weeks. I told him then he would have no problems with the penalty clause where he owed me $100 a day for each day over day 90 that it was not done. Like others mentioned he did great work at first, but then started coming later and leaving earlier. At day 120 he came to me and said we have to talk about this penalty as it is killing me. I said fine. He had done extra work above and beyond the scope as I had asked as I saw things. I told him OK, how about we call it even and he said that would fine. I asked how long to finish the job and he said a week. I said I would give him 10 days, he said not needed it would be a week. I said fine, you have ten days and each day after that will be $200 a day. At day 15 my wife fired him. I told him he had 48 hours to have a full release signed and in my mailbox that we were done and no monies were owed. I then hired his subs on my own and had the job finished.

In a package out of the driver's reach should not be an issue EXCEPT if it is that super deadly Hollow point stuff - then NO!

Bonnie Watson Coleman is a hypocrite and a creep. She is crying for gun control after her thug sons got minimal jail time after committing armed robbery with automatic weapons. She is a disgrace. If you comment on her Facebook page about her thugs or the special treatment she got for them you get banned. Guess she hates both the first and second amendments

I freak just about every time I see a new shooter renting a .50 cal Desert Eagle. Why, just why?

Florida woman stops alligator attack using a small Beretta pistol This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman with a small pistol against a fierce predator. What is the smallest caliber that you would trust to protect yourself? A Beretta Jet-Fire testimonial.... Here is her story in her own words: "While out walking along the edge of a pond just outside of The Villages with my soon to be ex-husband discussing property settlement and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 12-ft. alligator which suddenly emerged from the murky water and began charging us with its large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive. If I had not had my little Beretta Jetfire .25 caliber pistol with me, I would not be here today! Just one shot to my estranged husband's knee cap was all it took.... The 'gator got him easily and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. It's one of the best pistols in my collection! Plus the amount I saved in lawyer's fees was really incredible.

On the streets I will just run like the scared little girl, after all I am not a criminal thus I cannot carry in the People's Republic of New Jermany.

Gotcha, thanks.

Ok I'll show my complete ignorance here. I would have thought if the primer was not pushed all the way in the firing pin would hit it very hard as it did not have far to travel and if it was pushed in the pin might not reach it which would lead to a light strike. What am I not understanding here ?

Thanks, I think? Yea undoubtedly I could do it. I am a chemical engineer by training a fairly mechanically inclined, I just have not wanted to get involved with that. I might have to, especially if our "friends" in Trenton try to imitate Kalifornia create a database of people that buy ammo.

Alec, the issue is this is only happening perhaps once every 30 rounds. It is happening in a CZ SP01 in single action, it then take not one but two hits in double action to go boom and then it works fine till the next time it happens.

I will check that but I think Dragon polished nicely and it is in good shape.

Purely a game gun. Agreed 100% if it was for any other use.

Interesting. I thought all SP01 had the FPB, only the shadow did not, guess I learned something. I have to check that, but it only happens with the 11.5 not with the 13#. What was strange yesterday is this would happen in single action and each time I had to pull The trigger twice in double action till the round would fire. I would have thought double would do it the first time or not at all. Very strange.

Would not even know where to begin on that

Would like to keep the 11.5# main spring in my CZ SP01 but have been getting a few light strikes even with the extended firing pin and light FP and FPB springs.

Does any other commercial ammo use Federal primers?

Would like to know who makes commercial 9mm ammo with soft primers, hopefully not too expensive?

It's time,actually past time, for some of our NJ gun groups to start drafting class action lawsuits against the state. IF they institute a 10 round magazine limit we should have a suit ready to make them buy them from us - it is BS to say sell them out of state in 30 or 60 days. This is just like eminent domain - let them pay for them. Same goes for any guns they want to take. Sure it does not restore our rights but it makes them justify to their minions why they are wasting so much state money on BS.

I think one day these things will be mainstream, but not quite yet. They really have only tested them in optimal situations, that is all I am saying. Once they have to deal with real weather and real traffic and crazy drivers they will have many more accidents. I want to see them survive the morons on the GSP or battle rush hour traffic on the LIE.

These things are not ready for prime time and many more will die before they are. How are they going to figure out the lanes in heavy rain or snow or ice. What about fog? How are they going to make the decision to have a head on collision of hit the bicycle in front of you? Let's just say I won't be in line to buy self driving version 1.01.
