  1. While visiting family in Harrison, AR one Christmas, my brother found a briefcase with 30k in it. Turns out it was a known business man who had suspected ties to a meth ring. He thought he was being followed so he threw it out hoping to come back for it later. Funny thing is he left his business card in it and the the briefcase was monogrammed! Needless to say he got busted. As far as the guy in NY. I would think he needs to disappear before he .... disappears.
  2. True, but I was giving a hypothetical based on other state laws to make the point.
  3. The problem is the broad scope of the charge. However, child molesters, rapist ect. have an exceptionally high recidivism rate. Personally I think those charges should be under the death/life penalties. Now the 19 and 16 yr old thing is different and should be considered so, as well as some of the other charges they've lumped in there. Classic case of being tougher on "lesser" crimes has only worked to dilute/lessen the more serious crimes.
  4. I had one and it was excellent for the price.
  5. Are you serious?
  6. I wouldn't be too hard on him guys. It takes a while to understand capitalism and freedom. As much as we like to think it is 2nd nature, for those who were ingrained in socialism it takes a while to change. I'll never forget the lecture my grandfather gave at a university in the Ukraine to Professors, grad students, and government officials on the business of agriculture. He didn't get many questions until he began to talk about profit. Nearly the entire auditorium raised their hand to ask the same question. "What is a profit and what would you do with more money than the cost of production?" America has been a truly unique place never before seen on this planet. It's hard to remain the only standard amidst the roar of oppression. The flow of popularism is so alluring to the weak.
  7. Wrong. Don't get it, get an HSA,................... do what ever you want. Really? Ask Canada, Russia, England, ...................... I understand it feels good to believe in a utopia, but it doesn't exist nor will it exist here. Ask everyone who has tried.

    I think he is refering to red dots. If that is the case it refers to the size of the dot. Meaning a "1" will cover one inch at 100 yards. IIRC.
  9. Everything is the same. When you check in you have to show your paperwork. That is the only difference.
  10. Centerfire has them for $419. Rock Island 1911 .45ACP Tactical Handgun Part #AC-RI1911TAC
  11. Don't know but it is probably something a gunsmith could tell you pretty quickly just by looking at it.
  12. Don't thread 1/2x28. That is the standard AR thread and any brakes/FH you find will be for 5.56. Stick to the m14 LH for the AK.
  13. Before you sign any more contracts, you more than likely have other issues that will raise their ugly head if you do ever decide to sell. A house without proper right of way or road frontage are tricky things. You will also want to make sure the improvements you made are DEDUCTED and and not added into the value at the sale. Again all things a good real estate layer can guide you through.
  14. You know when I was a little kid and didn't understand money but my older brother did, he would often trade me nickels for dimes. His argument was, "the bigger ones have to be worth more, right?" Same thing with this bill. You will get something but it will be worth at less than half of what you give up. The bright side is, many will think they got a really good deal! My salary got cut in half, but at least I don't have to pay the doctor!
  15. Yeah, not a good choice. However, the best way to handle it would simply report it to the Admin/Mods and let them make a call. Post like these usually don't wok out well. Better to handle things quietly and privatley at first.
  16. If I went that route I would get the Konus Atomic Pro. They get better reviews and have a lifetime warranty.
  17. So I'm replacing my Millet DMS-1 currently on my STG556 with a more "heads up" optic. Don't want to spend a lot so here is what i'm looking at.What do you think? Bushnell Holosight Vortex SPARC Vortex Strikefire
  18. It would be nice, but for the money I'd get another STG or two AK's!
  19. Haha, I guess it's all relative. compared to Les Baer? Yeah they're huge. compared to S&W they're very, very small. Beside how many "makers" are actually in the US?
  20. Acting like that I would definitely have them checked and take my dog to the vet ASAP. Glad you got rid of them without getting attacked yourself.
  21. Will do. I'm probably going next Thursday if i don't get called on a job or it's raining.
  22. True, but it may be a design issue on the RFB. I really like them and Kel-Tec, but I want to see more track record. The ejection system is curious to me. I expect issues from a small company that doesn't have the money of a S&W or Remington to throughly field test a new product. KT tends to do a lot of filed test with customers. Not a bad thing since they take care of them.
  23. Interesting that many of the so called "death threats" at rally's were only heard by the reporters who reported it and that all 10 legislatures that have complained of threats did so all at once on the same day. Just saying.
  24. A couple of windows and some obscene phone calls! Wow that is truly threatining. God forbid they should bomb a judge, an FBI building, or something like that. But I guess that would just be activism.
  25. I'm very pro police. Even have family that are LEO's and I was briefly. That being said I do think some of the issue is arising from the militaristic mentality of the newest generation. We get this because it is easier and more cost effective to take military trained folks (returning from war) and use military training to get more feet on the pavement more quickly and with greater ease. IMO this is great for SWAT, large scale operations, intel ect. The problem arises in low key, low profile encounters. Some tend to fall back on their military style as opposed to the traditional police style of public servant. I don't see it as some tinfoil takeover, just a residual effect of the war and other money factors. I do think we would be better served without this mentality on American soil, but it is what it is.
