Oh Shoot

  Not on all. Has used Phillip Davidson for some, like appeal on Radnor Lake lawsuit -- same attorney mentioned in connection with this round.   - OS

Mod, need to merge this with earlier and longer thread at:   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/68412-voldemort-at-it-again/

If that was really a NFA can on it, what's the law on that? It's not actually a violation to not have paperwork on your person is it? Just makes your day a hassle until you can prove it if push comes to shove (which is right up K's alley of course).   - OS

Oops, double tap (second one was single action, though). ;)

  I stand corrected on that point, you are correct. Firing pin block added with the 92 SB, around 1979, which was the model first submitted for military testing in the JSSAP.   "Automatic firing pin safety: when the trigger is not pulled completely back, a blocking device secures the firing pin and prevents it from moving forward, even if the weapon should fall from a height and strike the ground muzzle-down".   With hammer down and safety engaged, it only keeps the firing pin plunger from engaging. With safety off, just like carrying a Glock, except that first shot will be double action. And I agree no reason to carry it for defense purposes with safety engaged.   Mea culpa for the non-drop safe assertion. I only own two of them. :)   - OS

  Outstanding, adding to my vocab!!   - OS

  You should always wait till I finish my inevitable edits on any post I make over three lines. :)   Yeah, the Beretta, even if it didn't have decock function built in, the lever would still function as a safety.   Indeed, if the safety part didn't activate first, the thing would fire as soon as the decocking part dropped the hammer, as it doesn't "ease" down, but falls with full force into normal firing position. Rather unsettling the first few times you do it actually, until you look in there and see what it's actually doing to the rotating firing pin plunger before the hammer drops.   - OS

  When the pistol is already decocked, and the lever is down, the trigger can't be activated. When the lever is up, it can be activated. Perfect definition of a safety to me. Same purpose as any other safety, with the added function of decocking if hammer is cocked at the time you activate it.   Yes, of course you can carry it with safety off, however it can discharge if back of hammer is somehow struck or gun is dropped and falls on it.   The Army douches probably called it a safety because that's what it is and the reason Beretta names it as such also. :)   - OS

Well, he had said he was gonna do that at the KY statehouse early this year, but it never happened, dunno about this particular incident, didn't find anything with news search yet.   - OS

  The 92FS has both a safety and decocker function on same lever. With cocked hammer, it first rotates firing pin plunger out of the way (which is the safety) and then decocks hammer.  It can then be taken back off safety to fire in double action mode, or manually recocked to fire in single. If safety is engaged, firing pin plunger does not engage and it cannot fire manually or by being dropped.   Cannot be carried cocked and locked. If the safety is not engaged, striking the hammer can make it fire, as dropping it on it, whatever. Once the hammer is decocked, the lever functions purely as a safety.   It also has a half cock position when safety is off, but this is not secure, and Beretta says not to carry it in that mode. The half cock position is only designed to stop the hammer from falling if you are firing it in double action mode and decide not to complete the trigger pull.   - OS

  Regarding the training, a double/single action pistola like the 92 has a double drawback with the first shot being completely different from the following ones, too. I find when I haven't shot it for a while, after the long hard first double action pull, I'm completely out of sync for the next quite light single action one, and have pulled it before I actually intended to, and have seen a buddy do the same.  And cocking it for first shot is not an option in a self defense situation, especially the 92, can't really hardly do it with one hand without bracing it even if you had the time.   - OS

That would be correct. Unless using it in justifiable self defense, which might apply above after the deadly pie attack or whatever they're facing. - OS

EIN is all about employee withholding taxes, not sure why you needed one, but then I don't know anything about memorial funds -- do you have to incorporate or something to do a legal memorial fund is only thing I can think of?   I had to get an EIN, or at least it was strongly suggested by my tax person, when I started a sole proprietorship back when, but it never came into play because I never hired an employee.   I did issue a 1099-MISC a few times for outside services I paid that was billed to a client, maybe I needed an EIN to do that legally, can't remember.   - OS

  I continue to disagree, as statute doesn't say that.     Again, it does not say it only applies to permit holders however. I think the intent of the mention of permit holders is just to make it clear it applies to us also.   Further evidence of intent is in the opening statement in statute: "An individual, corporation, business entity or local, state or federal government entity or agent thereof is authorized to prohibit the possession of weapons by any person...".   Hence, I see no reason a person without a permit couldn't be charged with violation of 39-17-1307 and 39-17-1359 under the wording of both statutes.   - OS

G19 gets the nod for weight, size, shape (especially of the grip).   Also, the Glock has the same trigger pull on the first shot, unlike the 92.   - OS

  Problem is, this isn't a new law at all, just another regulation an agency can implement without any external review or permission.   Even when a bill is passed "so they can find out what's in it", many of them are not in any way complete, with the authority for the corresponding agency to write the regs on ongoing basis. Indeed, ObamaCare is a prime example -- even considering its huge bulk, it is still not yet fully "written", and most anything that has been can be changed at any time.   - OS

Well, it's not rare or anything, but a 9mm non moon clip single action revolver is my "oddest" one: - OS

  Well, FDA approved it back in 2011 for people 50 and up.   http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/QuestionsaboutVaccines/UCM070418   Dunno how you go about getting it if your doctor won't give it to you, though. I went to CVS schedule appointment page, put in my age as 51, and the shingles inoculation wasn't an option.   Seems absurd to me that folks over 50 who actually get shingles can't automatically get the frigging vaccine if they choose.   - OS

Got a hunting license?

    But you all didn't do them from 80% lowers either. I have an Omni on my AR pistol, and it's been fine so far, but I only had to trust the manufacturer to get the thing right, not myself.   - OS

This is still 'Merica, and Tennersee at that. What is this "one rifle" concept anyway?   - OS

  Hmm, well maybe it doesn't. I have an Advantage Plan for part D, can't seem to find whether it does or not, just became part of he Geezer Plan this month.   But anyway, I didn't wait, just walked into a CVS last year to get it, also 100 clams.   - OS

The only thing I personally would feel less confident about than milling out an aluminum 80 percenter,  would be doing same to a plastic one. :)   - OS

Sorry to hear all that (and didn't know folks got it on the headbone) but shingles horror stories led me to get the inoculation for it last year, didn't even wait for it to be free under Medicare.   Not even sure I had chicken pox as a kid, but apparently you can get shingles even if you didn't, though having had chicken pox bumps your odds way way up.   Also, the shot is far from a guarantee, but gives one much better odds, and is supposed to mitigate the severity even if you wind up getting them in spite of it.   You definitely need to check into it, see what the procedure and effectiveness is taking the shot after you've actually had a bout of it.   - OS

At home, LSU.
