Oh Shoot

Though a bit of a trek, Norris Range is a good option, $40/year, June 30 to June 30 span only, though, not prorated.   - OS

  You could say the same regarding other endeavors. Idiot gun carriers don't kill .5% of the people that even licensed idiot drivers do. Perhaps people should have to pass a test and be licensed to procreate too, eh?   - OS

  The bill itself would allow anyone who can legally own a firearm to carry a loaded handgun or long gun, knife of any length, or an impact weapon without a permit. If that's what you're asking.   It would not affect any of the other statues about prohibited locations as far as I can see.   - OS

  No biggie. Yeah, I remember the original Drive Image backup stuff, was from Power Quest.  Maybe these guys were on that team or something back then, who knows? The Runtime company been around since '99, or at least that's when domain was first registered.   - OS

  There are numerous physiological absurdities regarding zombie lore, so it's a bit much to apply logic to any of them. :)   - OS

  Carbine and Sporter are both 18.5", same exact gun cept stocks AFAIK.   - OS

  The Drive Image XML I mentioned isn't Acronis, if that's what ya mean.   - OS

  Yep, there is no federal law regarding that to be changed. Which, just like "universal recognition" of carry permits, is a good thing. As Dave says, that's another precedent we don't want.   - OS

  Get a carbine and take the band off. It's not required. :)   Or get a OEM wood stock.   - OS

  Don't see why the walkers would smell if they don't actually decompose.   - OS

  Depends on what and how packaged. Canned stuff is practically "forever" long as it doesn't rust through or something.   Even unsealed rice, dried beans, pasta edible for years, etc. Course you never see 'em actually cooking anything.   But sure, assuming most of the animals are gone, which they seem to be for the most part, you'd have to start farming at some point. 'Course, that brings up the animals? Did the zeds eat all the farm animals? And all the wild ones too? Saw some dogs in one episode last season eating a still kicking zed, but only dogs I've seen. Assuming there are actually deer and bear and etc, with people gone, they'd actually populate like crazy (except just so many zeds, they get 'em all?)   Etc ad nauseum with the "logical" stuff. I mean, you've got dead human flesh walking around that doesn't rot, so given that, sky's the limit on conjecture I guess. :)   - OS

  Nope. As long as the purpose is to enhance a collection, but not for "livelihood", it's okay. 'Course, it's not ultimately your determination. :)       Yep, giving one as a gift to any non-prohibited person is fine. Even selling it right after you buy it, and for a profit, is okay too, as long it's not for "livelihood".   However, highlighted part in your post is incomplete. If the person gives you the money first to go buy it for them, even if they are not a prohibited person, it's a straw purchase. It's a specific example given on 4473.   - OS

  It is a pistol Let 'er rip!   - OS

  They'll need an EO from BHO or something, since only the feds can demand to see 4473s.   Here's the article, btw. Doesn't mention 4473's specifically, but since CT apparently didn't have any kind of rifle registration before this, that would be the only way they could compare the records, seems.   http://www.grandviewoutdoors.com/articles/3661-connecticut-set-for-possible-gun-confiscation#sthash.qZyzB9OG.dpbs   - OS

  I call that high talk from a two eyed fat man, since he'd just put them on foot by brilliantly killing the truck.   I mean, anybody still alive wouldn't know at least a modicum about handling a firearm by this point in the game? And actually, know enough not to be using full auto in the first place, since only aimed head shots count anyway?   (oops, there's that missing firearm logic again)   - OS

  Depends on percentages, really.  I mean, the infestation obviously happened at warp speed. And you get the impression there's less than 10% of the population left, so that's a lot of stuff laying in every nook and cranny in America for not very many people.   At least that's my argument to support "logical" suspension of disbelief.   - OS

I've used free DriveImage XML for years now with XP and Win7:   https://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm   I did restore an entire drive with it once on a box I no longer have, worked fine. But I've mainly used it to restore the occasional single file once in a great while.   The free version is not automated and does not do incremental is only limitation. I just run it once in a while manually to a firewire connected drive, eventually delete the older ones as the thing fills up.   - OS

  If it goes to SCOTUS and they incorporate it to the states, they will be struck down period.  And seems they couldn't cease issuing permits at all either, what with the IL decision not long ago.   - OS

  Well, the Sporter is only higher because of the stock, so I guess the shape it's in determines whether it's worth it.   Btw, Ruger doesn't currently show a Sporter in stainless, but guess they offered it in the past, or it's a distributor exclusive maybe.   - OS

  I've had great success with Win XP doing the Repair Option on several folks' problem boxes, though I've not done it on 7. Don't really remember having to do any more than run Win Update afterwards.   - OS

Let's see,   1. this bill would allow 95% of TN folks to carry a loaded handgun, long gun, knife of any length, or an impact weapon without a permit   2. yet we can't carry in our own tax supported buildings, parks, and schools, even with paying for a permit to prove we are upstanding citizens.   I don't see how it's realistic to expect such freedom would possibly be granted by 1. as long as we have prohibitions as in 2.   But of course I've gone through the motions of pinging my representative factotums.   - OS

Pretty content with my arsenal these days too. Think I'll just concentrate on improving my ability with all that I have. :)   - OS

  Boot to BIOS and look around at options. Might or might not have that feature.   Should have a quick notice to enter "setup" when you first see Dell logo, likely F2.   - OS
