Not yet--I checked earlier. It may well turn up there, though. It's better as a kind of parable, than as a claimed-to-be-factually-accurate story.

"Let them eat cake" responded socialist President Francois Hollande, when asked how the citizens were to get by when taxed at 100% of income.

This is just the first wave. It's true, the most idiotic measures aren't advancing at this time, but could later. A well-placed veto or three in this batch could reduce the chances of that.

Stated in a way the techies will appreciate: "To 8 significant figures, the odds of winning the Powerball lottery are the same, whether you buy a ticket, or don't."

I'm not so sure, though admittedly I don't know what a court would do if it came to that. If the fast food restaurant is on-route (and so often they are), the 'deviation' might only be 20 yards from the 'direct 'route. Heck, even the GPS doesn't always know the car is no longer on the road. Engine never shut off, driver never exits the vehicle, stop time barely longer than the delay at the next stop light... One could make a very credible argument that the spirit of 'directly' was not violated.

Assuming your powder charge, primer & bullet selection, and brass are ok, you're probably fine from a safety point of view. Some guns are finicky on OAL, some aren't. If they end up not feeding well in your particular gun, I'd look first at a different bullet profile (round nose feed best, some guns have issues with SWC, HP, or other bullet designs), then at OAL. If your loads are close to typical factory power factors, your recoil spring is probably ok. If you go to lighter loads, you may also need a lighter spring...but that's not an OAL thing.

Kimbers are mighty nice!

I'm a little late in watching the video...but I salute you. You brought needed attention to what a sham these hearings really are.

Good points here. The most important, in my opinion, is that if you are on the watch list, you are under suspicion and are being watched, but: You have not been accused of a crime. You have not been tried in a court of law You most certainly have not been convicted So...you are innocent. No grounds for deprivation of rights. The no fly list has other problems...one from 2011 is here: http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/02/02/time-for-counseling-immigration-officer-adds-wife-to-terrorist-suspect-list/ To summarize, an immigration officer at the UK Border Agency put his wife on the do-not-fly list when his wife left the country to visit her family. She was denied entry back into the UK without explanation – and was unable to return for three years. Once we get past our initial reaction to that (which is "HA! Good One!"), it certainly makes clear how easy it is to abuse the system. The Wikipedia entry for No Fly List details quite a few other problems.

He'll be fine. He's already stated that the constitution needs to be 're-evaluated' in the name of public safety. Once he's gotten rid of that pesky first amendment (rather, restricted it to only apply to Bloomberg publications), he figures he can control the internet and lock up anyone who reads up on printing receivers.

That's a great price, especially in these crazy times. For those new to reloading, it would work fine for any pistol cartridge.* May have some problems with frame flex when resizing larger rifle cartridges--that's the nature of a C-frame press. But as Ray pointed out, it would have other uses if you later upgrade. *It should be noted that pistol shooters are generally the first to wish they'd bought a progressive press in the first place...

That ticks me off no end--the state is ignoring international law. I think it was the International Communications Act of 1935 that states that listening on any frequency whatsoever shall not be restricted. It's only transmitting that can be regulated.

At least some (Stack-on, maybe?) let you remove the battery-operated keypad and use a big honkin' key to open the safe if the keypad fails. I agree, my perception of combination locks is that they are more secure (don't know if that is factually correct or not), but you can get the keypad models open a lot faster!

There is an option in the middle, which might save you money (but less so now that supply of complete rifles seems to be improving). Buy a complete lower. Buy a complete upper. Pin 'em together. Add sights if needed. Done. There are also a few vendors that let you do a lot of customization right from their website (which is particularly useful for making the gun NJ compliant before it even ships). Check out http://www.model1sales.com/ and http://store.ar15.com/ to name but two reasonably-priced suppliers.

My original confirmation email, while it took over 5 hours to get generated, didn't mention a back order at all. Early this morning I got a new confirmation saying I'm back ordered, but not stating for how long. A couple of in-stock magazines I ordered yesterday are now also showing as back ordered, but only until 5/25. I guess arrival of a bunch of .22LR load tested their purchasing system in ways that their IT department couldn't...

Not entirely. If the radar is being used in traffic, you'll pick up all kinds of advanced warnings-usually way before you are in sight of the speed trap, giving you ample time to check your speed and see if you need to adjust. That's the most common scenario. If you're alone on the road and the radar is off until you are close enough for a read, then no, the detector won't help.

There is a 'review' link on their sale page. It's unfortunate that Cabela's is out, but mention of what the ammo was selling for earlier today might stay up on the gouger's sale page for at least a short while (unless they preapprove all reviews).

Any ammo allows you to hone your shooting skills. Most ammo allows you to improve your marksmanship. Some brands mostly let you improve your 'tap-rack-bang' drills. :-)

Ditto. 5 1/2 hours for the confirming email, plus almost another hour before I checked my spam folder and found it there--but a good end result.

Yep, it's in there all right. I'd missed it.

Here's how you do it!

Yep. Some vendors will do the work for you (Arfcom is but one that comes to mind; there are others) and can ship a NJ compliant upper right to your house. Otherwise, it has to go to an FFL who will do the modification before handing it over to you. If you don't yet own a lower, I've seen some folks make the case that you can possess a noncompliant upper, perhaps while making the modifications yourself. I don't know if that's true or not; I suspect it's one of those things you could get busted for and later proven to be in the right, after a long, expensive legal battle.

OOS at 1540 Except some of the APS strip primers.

One sale was at the Cheesequake Service Area on the Garden State Parkway in Sayreville, the other at Deer Head Lake in Lacey Township, so these weren't possession-inside-the-home scenarios.

If you're into serious target shooting, Larry's Guns in Gray, Maine should be worth a stop. I've not been there in person, but I've been a mail order customer, and they carry stuff that is VERY hard to find elsewhere. They do operate a brick-and-mortar shop. http://www.larrysguns.com/Default.aspx
