  1. I’m going to say this as someone who has worked more assault cases than I can remember. Snapchat does not belong on a 14 year old’s phone. Full stop. You’ve got someone else delivering her a device, she’s googling how to get a SIM card and lying to you and your wife about it. There’s more going on than you know - and she’s in over her head. Our kids are always going to be smarter than us about technology. You’re not going to get out in front of that. But, we’re smarter than them about life. You’ve got to come to some type of understanding. It’s possible to recover some Snapchat data depending on the version and the particulars of the device, but it’s unlikely. You should consider blocking access to the camera, uninstalling any social apps and then locking the device so that she can’t install new apps. I’d make sure you have geolocation turned on as well. We’ve used it to find more than one teen - most of them before it was too late. If you do find out that this is an adult, you should consider getting law enforcement involved.

  2. Find a round of .380 and stick it in there.

  3. It isn't about the caliber, it's about the availability of ammunition. Dare I say it but this will affect more AR owners than AK owners because there are WAY more AR owners in the US. Even if you never but or shoot cheap steel cased ammunition this will affect you because those that normally buy cheap ammunition will be forced to buy more expensive ammunition creating more of a demand, increasing the price.

  4. Howdy, I lived in Smyrna for a couple of years as a kid and moved to Ohio. It's been a long time but we are coming back. I am relocating to Gallatin later this year with my family from Bakersfield. For those unaware Bakersfield is in the heartland of the "forgotten" California. We are very conservative, believe in freedoms, and personal responsibility. I've been in this looney bin since 1987 and finally have a chance to get out. I look forward to my new home and new acquaintances. I'm an avid shooter, mostly pistol and wing, with occasional long range rifle. I love to 'smith a little on my own. I spent 8 years active duty Marine. Thanks for the add, I look forward to be a contributor.

  5. A couple things that got into my hand this week. At least something went ok. A Dan Wesson. 357 Model 14. Or at least I think from the fixed front and rear sight. Trying to gauge the age, but not sure yet. Is probably in the early 80's. Got the barrel wrench and a leather holster too. I may look for more barrels. A Smith & Wesson Model 1905 2nd Change .38 Special/Service Cartridge in Nickle. Worn, but action feels smooth. Goes along with my blue 4th Change.

  6. Sorry, first thing that came to mind. Seriously though... ... this x1000. It could get ugly fast. You've still got time to get your arms around this, security cameras can wait.

  7. Listen to MacGyver. Have a serious discussion with your wife and daughter letting them know that it stops now. I would still contact the law and let them tell you how to proceed if the situation is that bad. While problems such as this are not localized it is as big a problem in ET as meth and prescription drugs.

  8. Innovation in firearms? I'm still waiting to get a phaser or maybe a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range. That will be innovation!

  10. Buy Serbian? Aim Surplus has PPU in most calibers at a fair pricing. My experience with .30cal, .303, 7.62x25, .380, and 9mm has been good.

  14. Wait until cheap ammunition isn't available. That void will cause our domestic "surplus" to bounce back up like it has in the past during shortages, when it can be found. It will also affect pretty much every other centerfire caliber as well. The neck beards will be buying it all up and selling it out of the backs of their 80's vans like they did with .22 for so long and we haven't fully recovered from that shortage yet. And with all the new shooters coming onboard in the last 3-5 years this will have a MAJOR impact on ammunition availability across the board. This will affect the firearms industry across the board because people will not want to shoot their guns and guns that people know they can't afford to shoot will not be upgraded or even built or bought. Firearm accessories will loose their luster when the gun they are going on cannot be shot. The cost of attending training classes just went up substantially and for a lot of people it will be out of reach, significantly affecting that aspect of the firearms industry. I guess if you are in the business of selling reloading supplies you are about to hit the boom cycle. Congress has done nothing to help gun owners since we had the majority and nothing positive has happened since we have had a super majority. I ask again how are they helping us gun owners? How have they hurt us gun owners? Weigh the two, I have and I see nothing positive coming out of Washington. National reciprocity? Never going to happen. HPA or HUSH, never going to happen. At least they could do no harm but they can't even do that because we are also about to loose anything that the ATF determines can increase the rate of fire, not just bump stocks. Congress could end that instantly but they are going to stand idly by as we loose another battle because they do not want to take sides or rock the boat. They would rather stand in the corner and hope no one notices they aren't doing anything rather than stand for something. Look at all the import bans enacted over the years that directly affect gun owners, they could easily lift each and every one but that is NEVER going to happen. I am not going to lay down and give up but I am not going to support those who say they are my friend when their actions prove otherwise. I just hope there are a lot of independents on the ballot next year. For all of those who seem to have a problem buying stuff from our "enemy", look around your house. I bet the keyboard you are typing on and the screen you are viewing it on says "Made in China". The cell phone in your pocket, Made in China. The silverware you just ate your meal with, yep, Made in China. And in case you haven't noticed China is just as communist and supplying our enemies with a lot more than these ammunition and gun companies. Russia is not our biggest threat, China is and yet we seem to buy a lot of cheap goods from them.

  15. Negative. The least it could do is snow if it's going to be this cold for this long. And it's cold enough that we'd actually get real snow, instead of the usual icy, slushy disaster.

  16. Picked up another bottle today. Whiskey Advocate whiskey if the year 2017. Quite tasty. Barrel strength it’s pretty hot at 131 but it’s surprisingly drinkable neat. It opens up nicely proofed down towards 100. I’ll update more on the next tasting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  18. I wasn't going to comment on the politic side of things because, well, it's politics but...There is a difference between R and D, D wants to ban guns and ammo because it's guns and ammo, while this is putting pressure on companies that deal with the Russian Government, whether its IT stuff or weapons makes no difference. I don't mind foreign made weapons, and I'll buy and shoot import ammo, but have no problem finding and using alternate sources if the manufacturers get sanctioned because of their connections. Just like with the NFL, I have found alternate sources for my entertainment due to their support of causes I don't support, the Government can do the same with foreign companies and I'll find alternate sources there too.

  19. Meh, they were probably just setting Ruger up. They figure it won't hurt Kel Tec sales much as most people probably won't pay much attention to a Kel Tec ad but when Ruger copies the ad and claims it was an original idea they had people will notice Ruger's 'brand new, innovative and unprecedented' idea for an ad and it just might hurt Ruger's sales.

  20. Remington would probably be better off just turning in the remaining stock at the next gun buy back and get some gift cards for their trouble.
