That's the saddest thing I've ever heard.

That was the original company slogan, but then the marketing department intervened, and they changed it to "Glock Perfection".

I'm not sure, but they look fairly fragile (they have to be built light), and I'd think putting anything through one of the rotor disks would bring one down. Up to second-floor height, a thrown rock or tennis ball may well do the trick. Personally, I'd favor a blunt-tipped flu-flu arrow. Made for hunting birds, they are short range and silent.

You need an FAA license for any commercial use. Otherwise, if the drone weighs over 0.5 lbs it has to be registered, so that it can be traced to you. Also, without a special waiver, you can't fly at night, over people, higher than 400', further away than you can see with your naked eye, or within 5 miles of any airport. Flying between houses won't make you any friends. Hovering outside a window may result in your drone being destroyed by any means available to the resident--it certainly would here.

I didn't think they allowed holsters or movement even for registered competitions. Good for them if that isn't the case

If the deceased were so concerned about it being a fair fight, there wouldn't have been three of them.

Some of them are pretty sturdy. If you bashed the intruder in the face hard enough with the gun, it might buy you enough time.

A narrower front sight is good, if you are keeping the stock rear sight. You want a lot of light on either side of the front sight when it is aligned in the rear notch. A major flaw with Glock factory sights is that for many/most folks, the front sight visually fills nearly the entire rear notch, making it hard to detect sight misalignment. The first thing I do with Glock factory front sights is remove them, sand them as thin as is feasible (just to the point where the white insert starts to show through the black plastic--I don't recall the width, but I'm pretty sure it's thicker than 0.115), then re-install. Even then, I think they visually are too wide, but I've not found a practical way to widen the rear notch, so that's as far as I can go with stock sights.

That must be new(ish). Do you know when the code changed to require that? Because I've not heard it before; I knew the code as T Bill described it above.

I wouldn't count on tightening supply to drive down prices...

Yep. And for purposes of busting you for an airspace violation, your position is where the radar facility says you are, something that is unknowable to you in the cockpit. It doesn't matter what your altimeter or GPS or Nav radio says, or what your transponder is reporting. One hopes they are all in reasonable agreement, but it's the radar data that matters.

I'm not sure...I've seen the same definition you have, but I don't understand how 70/+05 differs from 70/05. Unless in the first one, the floor of the Bravo is at 501', and in the second the floor of the Bravo is at 500', but that would seem a meaningless distinction to make. If you don't get an answer here, you'll probably have better luck on one of the pilot boards. https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/ and http://www.purpleboard.net/forums/index.php are a couple of free ones. If you are an AOPA member, http://forums.aopa.org/index.php is pretty good.

Several times a year they get a semi-truckload of clay targets from Geiser Guns in PA. When they do, members are able to place orders for shells and components (except powder and primers) at discounted rates, with no shipping or tax. I don't have a recent price list; they are posted in the clubhouse, not online, but I've been happy with the deals I've gotten. You just have to be there early on the Sunday morning when the delivery is made to pick up in person.

I'm sure renting a port-a-john isn't an appealing option, but that, plus a trial membership at a nearby gym to give you access to showers, would be another fallback option.

The first experience was inexcusable. As for the second, a number of gun shops/gun shows have no-camera policies. That may have been what they were trying to enforce, as you never know what someone with a smart phone in their hand is really doing with it. I'm also seeing a number of businesses asking people to stay off of their phones if they are in line for service.

Nanny state--they were going to save us from salmonella. It was a NJ Dept of Health regulation (so the democrats in the assembly didn't even get a chance to all sign on as cosponsors), specifying fines of $25 to $100 for serving eggs that didn't have hard-cooked yolks. The late night comics-Johnny Carson in particular--had a field day with it, which I think was mostly responsible for the regulation getting dumped.

Thanks, all, for the good wishes. Even with his declining health over the last year or two, today still came as quite a shock...but the vet said he was too old/infirm for surgery (which was our opinion too), and a compound femur break can't be simply splinted.

We had a sheltie for almost 13.5 years. His health was declining recently; kidney failure, arthritis. Somehow he broke his femur this morning, and we were forced to put him down a few hours ago. Bye, Biscuit...you were a good dog. http://imgur.com/oUdWXuy

Many do.

Dealing with the airspace around Bayonne will make fighting the surface traffic look like a cakewalk. EWR class B goes all the way down to the ground there.

I'm from Twin Falls. Hardly a day goes by that I don't wish I was still in Idaho.

We ended up with 8.5" in northern Morris county. But it was heavy snow--enough moisture that there could have been a lot more accumulation had the air been colder. Spent the better part of three hours clearing the driveway (twice) and cars. Ready now to dig into the beef stew that's been in the crockpot all day.

Since 1911's have been brought into the Glock discussion, and to aid any owner of a fine 1911 in understanding the difference... You can replicate the feel of a Glock trigger by coating all moving parts in the 1911 trigger group with marshmallow fluff and beach sand.

18" Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker. And a beast of a 6-burner Kenmore, for grilling.

Sounds like there is a market here for some enterprising manufacturer to sell A2's to NJ, with all of the marketing material calling them Muzzle Brakes. Maybe engrave 'Warning-not a flash suppressor' on it for good measure.
