I don't as I'm refrencing drivers ed from 18+ years ago! haha. I do know most of that (at least fomr my Arkansas experience ) has to do with agriculture machinery etc. Thing about this stuff is that some folks are in such a hurry to get to the next stop sign/light just to wait.

IIRC, You can cross a double yellow to overtake traffic moving slower than 20 (25?) mph of the posted limit. They can't be fined anymore than you can.

Oh yeah! More Voldemort!

Wow, somewhere context and reading comprehension got lost and the mole hill turned into a mountain. Anyway, I thought I was helping by answering a question I thought was sincere. Animals are animals and when humans allow or cause them to break a normal relationship and they act outside the boundaries of those normal relationships they are what we call on the farm "ruined". For instance when a dog becomes overly aggressive and looses it's ability to restrain his attack instinct he cannot function normally again. That's not to say they can't live a decent life somewhere, but most of the time they require special attention and controlled environments to help them. The fact that animals can not reason and "grow" past abuse and put it into a livable context the way a human can is the difference between abused humans and animals. Didn't think it was that complicated, but I guess it was. The scripture verse quoted in the OP was a practical application of this reality in a herding society who understood animal tendencies and nature. Talking about chasing rabbits. Maybe thats what the German Shepperd needed.

Mike, its all starting to make sense now!

Spend some time on a farm.

+1. Half the fun is going thorugh the process and the layers (no pun inteded!). If there is no process it gets pretty boring. Kinda like making the Super Bowl into a two play, sudden death, OT type only game.

Same reason you put down dogs/animals that bite and kill. Once they cross those barriers they are ruined. Another reason to manage our animals the right way.

If only there were a larger caliber upper that would work with this ......... nah.

Here is the newest one. Sabre Upper/Lower with 18" SPR stainless fluted middy barrel, Vortex FH, Vltor stock, Troy MRF rails, EOTech 512, Magpul Al winter trigger guard, Magpul BUIS, and Tango Down grip.

Traded the MSAR for this baby and I think I did alright. I liked the MSAR but it was just too long for my kids to shoot well and there isn't a .22 conversion for it. This I plan to add either a .22 conversion or a dedicated upper so I can afford to take my kids shooting more. Anyway, here it is. Stag lower, Sabre Upper with 18" SPR stainless fluted middy barrel, Vortex FH, Vltor stock, Troy MRF rails, EOTech 512, Magpul Al winter trigger guard, Magpul BUIS, and Tango Down grip.

Personally, I think they have maxed out. For awhile they had gone up to $800 and I would say that is the ceiling. I've watched them go for $350 (where they should be) 5 years ago to where they are now. They are coming down in price and will probably lock into the $450-$550 range and stay. The ban nonsense will never happen unless they ban a whole lot of other shotguns so while it is not out of the realm of possibility I don't see it happening. That being said I think they will hold their value in the $500-$550 range and would be a great shotgun for anyone. As a collector piece not so much but as a shooter and more fun than you will know what to do with gun!

Probably EFK Firedragon. Good barrels. I have used them a number of times. Pistol and Gun Accesories | EFK Fire Dragon

Yes, you can get a 9mm or 357 SIG conversion barrel and it will work in the .40 slide. It has to be a conversion barrel and not just a standard barrel to work. As far as the recoil spring you may want to change springs but it is not mandatory. The only thing it might do is not cycle light load 9mm.

Can't speak for Hawkeye, but of the 3 full-size 9's I've had the first one was awesome from the factory, the second was awful (very very "gritty"), and the third has been normal. Don't know why the discrepancy but I'm told that is normal. Reports are that they all get a lot better after using them for awhile.

Remeber on the Saiga 12 the shepherds crook has to be filled down to clear the bolt.

Not a big fan of the SAW grip. The Molot grip is far better. Molot Style AK Pistol Grip - MD ARMS [MDGrip] - $19.99 : Mississippi Auto Arms, Inc ::, Your Source for Saiga, AK47, AR15, Tromix, Glock, and SKS firearms and accessories

The reason for the price difference is the precision in the grinding of the glass. To get a near perfect concave lens takes time and precision equipment. The more expensive scopes are ground better than cheaper ones. This is the main reason for the high dollar scopes being better. A precision ground lens is what gives you clarity, light transmission, etc. That being said, the Japanese do this very well and at a cheaper cost. They can do that because their scopes are an extension of their pricier photo lens buisness. I have been impressed with the Nikon's as many have mentioned. I have a Nikon Team Primos (early Monarch) that is excellent.

I get to play with these all day long every day and personally I think the M&P is a better gun. Reliability and aftermarket support are pretty much even. The Glocks reset is more positive but with the Apex they are nearly identical. What tips the scales way over (IMO) is the use of stainless components (barrel, slide, etc,) and the enormously better ergo's of the M&P.

It was PM's I wasn't getting. However, I discovered it was evidently an issue with the Opera browser. This morning they are working on Firefox and Chrome, but are still "frozen" in Opera.

For some reason I'm not able to get PM's on the TGO site. I am getting the E-mail notice and a notification when i log into the site but all the new ones aren't showing. Am I the only one or is anyone else having an issue?

except the one that shot JFK. From what I've read the Benet-Mercie was pretty bad.

Flea Party! That's funny right there!

I'm basing that on the fact that there is definitely more "finish" work on the M&P as opposed to the glock block style and that the M&P is all stainless with melonite on top. The Glock is regular steel with Melonite on top. Cracked slides happen. I've seen Glocks with every problem any other gun has had. That's just the nature of mass produced mechanical devices. I think they are are equal as far as dependability goes. That being said, I think objectively speaking, the differences are preference based. Six of one half a dozen of the other.

There is an official statement by the ATF stating that 922r is unenforceable on an individual basis. It was designed to reduce import issues and is only enforced at the import level. I'll have to try and find that actual statement. Technically speaking though unless you have a manufactures license, changing parts is not manufacturing a gun with unqualified parts, thus you CAN"T violate 922r. 922r is worded towards manufacturing with certain parts outside the US and still be made importable.
