Oh Shoot

  Yeah, with further read I see that now, thanks. I guess the 30.07 is the same, though I can't find that right off.   The "carry in a bar" though is really severe, unlike here where it's perfectly legal if not posted in general.   - OS

  Texas didn't get constitutional carry. They simply got the same thing we have here, open carry with a permit. Except they have three different gun posting types that carry penalty of law instead of our single one.  The "51%" penalty is a 3rd Degree felony and the other two are Class A Misdemeanors.   - OS

  However, to possess those guns in the vehicle in posted parking lots, employer lots, or school property still requires a permit, so the permit is still held to somewhat "high importance".   - OS

  Well, it's her song and all. I'm impressed she can hit the piano keys at all, considering them nails. :)   - OS

  I wouldn't watch a Super Bowl without the commercials. It's half the attraction for me.   Actually, I wouldn't have likely watched this one at all 'cept for the association and historic significance of Peyton being involved.   - OS

    Ya realize the target demographic ain't us anymore, right?   As the oldest of we three fogies, while the music itself didn't speak all that much to me, I was still pret durn impressed with the staging and spectacle itself, near DeMille in scale.   - OS

  It's the uber rare full auto model.   - OS

Mark, here's complete breakdown, including bolt, if you haven't gone into it.   Bolt looks quite "10/22ish". Would seem if firing pin freely moves and channel crud isn't the prob, would have to be either spring needs stretching or replacing (maybe can substitute one from something else) or firing pin is worn down or chipped off on the end?   http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=350892   - OS

Nobody simply tried Melatonin to start? Small dose works better for most folks than larger ones, start with just .75mg, then 1.5, 1.75, and if 3mg doesn't work then higher dose probably won't either.   - OS

  Oh. I guess I didn't read your link that carefully. Short answer then is "I dunno", mea culpa.   edit: well, I read it carefully, and still don't know. On one hand they seem to be saying that any trust acquisitions done when the new rule was first proposed up until the time of implementation on 7/13/16 would need to be retroactively re-processed with fingerprints, but then they quote ATF as saying that no, that anything postmarked before 7/13/16 is grandfathered under the previous rules, which is what everybody has understood all along.   So I repeat, it doesn't make much sense to me, so "I dunno", but I'm wondering if some gummit rep in that private meeting with ASA either was misunderstood or misspoke simply because he didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Gawd knows there's plenty of false statements made by ATF folks over time -- their site is replete with at best "incomplete" answers in FAQS over the years, incomplete enough to just be de facto wrong.   - OS

  What are you talking about? Has a federal bill of some sort been introduced? Thread is about TN (and now MI) legislation.   - OS

  Nope, real thing, changes already entered into federal register, timeline about 6 months before taking effect I believe. Anything acquired by a trust up until whatever exactly that deadline is still plays by the current rules. They almost got the CLEO signoff back into too, but that got zapped, not so much of a big deal here but it is in a lot of places.   I thought it was referred to as "41p" though that link seems to be all about the same thing.   Been discussed here for some time:   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/92461-41p-update-november-2015/   - OS

Note: I'm quite skeptical that's actually a Wisconsin handgun carry qualifying test if that's what you mean -- where you find that? Likely have any number of accidents if youir average joes were having to actually do that. Hell, a Hunter Safety course qualifies up there. https://www.doj.state.wi.us/dles/cib/conceal-carry/concealed-carry-training-requirements - OS

Way back, Gen 1 mags had cracking probs:

I gotta say that I probably wouldn't have my single action revolvers or lever rifles sans the influence of a lifetime of Old West TV shows and movies.   - OS

  FB is publicly traded...if traffic dropped by say even 10% wouldn't that likely translate to a pretty significant thing? And of course if the reason for it were clear, would send a real message.   - OS

  Yep.  Innovative "pure science" almost always reaps at least tangential benefits over time.   - OS

Rubik's Cube, after the inventor,  Ernő Rubik.   Just because they could, guys make computer bot that can solve it in about 1 second, kewl:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixTddQQ2Hs4   - OS                      

  I think you are reading some summary, and not the actual policy? How many pages is it? If it ain't 20 or more, it's not likely the actual policy.   - OS

Yeah, Bersa keeps saying that, and I have encouraged him to read his policy several times.   I know State Farm, having had a renter's policy with them not long ago,  and that policy he has will pay $2500 on "valuable items", which includes things like jewelry, artwork, and firearms.  After a $500 deductible of course.   Regardless of what Bersa thinks his agent has said about the matter, the agent won't be writing the check. A total claim will follow a standard checklist of categories, clothes, furniture, appliances, whatever, and when you bring up guns, they'll include max $2500.   I've wondered how claims for stashed ammunition might be handled since it isn't mentioned superficially AFAIK.   - OS

Interesting that VT, being the first and for a long time the only open and concealed carry free state, has both the House and Senate dominated by Dems.   - OS

  What's "middle" here?   For UK, I see 20% up to £42,000 counting standard deduction. Which is $60,500 USD. Higher, the 40% over that kicks in.   - OS

  I don't believe it's specified anywhere within the USC or CFR as to when the firearm must be engraved? Indeed, if the SBR were a complete firearm just being transferred rather than "made", I don't see how you could necessarily even have it engraved before the actual transfer were approved?   - OS

  Well, he got 1 delegate, so at least has the beginnings of bargaining chip stash.   - OS
