I might be able to use my student account to get a look at this report without having to pay for a copy  If I can, I'll give it a look see and let you guys know if the methodology passes the sniff test.

My cousin lives in Connecticut and explained the process to me...I don't remember everything, but I do remember feeling it was a very convoluted design meant to throw up every hurdle they can legally get away with, and some they are probably hoping survive court challenges.  They are also very time consuming, but can be overcome with a clean record and patience.    The limitations on what people there can have are just as bad if not worse than the permitting process.

69 years old?  He looked that old when I watched him in the 90's as a kid.  Entertaining guy, though.  Condolences to his family and friends. 

Thinking this was already covered, I did a search, but came up negative.   Two "ladies" got into a fight at a Walmart in Indiana, though I promise there is nothing sexy about this chick fight. I will say that the scooter bound one doesn't seem too disabled once things kick off.   https://youtu.be/0vNoR4Yb4Gc     https://youtu.be/pZkhyF1lw2s

I use q-tips in the gas key all the time.  A micro screwdriver from my compuer repair tools work if someting ever gets stuck in there.

  I've been shot at, come under mortar fire, driven down roads with IED's , and have been audited by the IRS...but when I see a snake, I jump on top of something or run like a complete bitch because shooting them never seems to be an option.  I'm confident in my manhood and if it wasn't for them eating disease carrying rodents, I'd want all snakes eradicated.

If anybody wants to get some 30rd Scorpion mags before they're gone... http://www.gregcotellc.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=173&products_id=1578   Disregard, they’re already sold out.

No issues whatsoever with the Troy Low Profile 173ABN helped me put on.  Put about 60 rounds downrange with it two weeks ago. https://www.primaryarms.com/Troy_Low_Profile_Gas_Block_Pro_Grade_SS_p/sgas-a4l-00bt-00.htm

I'm at a loss for words with regards to how awesomely on point this post is. Hopefully it will sink in, but I'm skeptical. Regardless, well said, Hozzie.

  Wait for a holiday like the 4th of July.  For Memorial day, I remember PSA had that blem lower w/ MOE furniture for about $30 or $40 less.

  Some of these would allow your desktops to get wifi, and at ~$15 a pop, they aren't too bad. http://www.target.com/p/linksys-n300-usb-wireless-adapter-black-ae1200-4a/-/A-15181364?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=google_pla_df&LNM=15181364&CPNG=Electronics&kpid=15181364&LID=10pgs&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=15181364&kpid=15181364&gclid=CI_Dgr7A_8UCFdgGgQod8AcAVQ http://www.bestbuy.com/site/belkin-n600-dual-band-wireless-n-usb-adapter/2089176.p?id=1218308702443&skuId=2089176&ref=06&loc=01&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=2089176&extensionType=pla:g&s_kwcid=PTC!pla!!!85355560999!g!!55674106159&kpid=2089176&k_clickid=d06c62b5-51da-46ef-82d3-e65e1667a9a9&kpid=2089176&lsft=ref:212,loc:1&ksid=d06c62b5-51da-46ef-82d3-e65e1667a9a9&ksprof_id=401&ksaffcode=pg2644&ksdevice=c   Buy as you go along to only get what you need.  You aren't getting anything in bulk, so there wouldn't be much savings for individual purchases unless shipping costs are involved.  Set up the wifi in stages, run tests at different locations to see how strong coverage is and only add repeaters as needed.  Get a good router and you might not need as many repeaters as you think for only 2,000 sq ft.

  Reading the need for all those drops makes me think he's running server stacks from home.   If HD streaming is the need, I'd just stay with wireless and set up a bandwidth cap for each IP address so no one device can suck down too much at a time.  7-10MB per device should be enough for multiple HD streams.

Why so many wired connections?  That's what could blow up your budget from what I can see.

  Connecting to Tor through a VPN is still a decent resistance play, IMO.  Nothing is fully secure, but like locked doors and windows, you can make it harder on the powers that be with layered defenses.

  I just don't see how they can get it past the idea phase if it's indeed being written as feared.  Even assuming the Constitutional protections won't impede it, what have they ever managed to stop from being discussed on the internet?  ITAR is for things we sell overseas or companies take to other countries for work.  Me talking about my personally owned weapons, or ammo on the internet isn't talking about a weapons export.   I'm waiting for more info before a final opinion.  Worse comes to pass, we'll set up TGO as an Onion site and everybody can just use Tor to access it. :stare:

How will they make this stick?  I'm no expert on ITAR regs, but I don't understand how they can cover the discussion of individual small arms and ammunition under it without running afoul of the Constitution.  First attempted prosecution and SAF, NRA, GOA would most likely front the legal fees to get it squashed riki tik.

  My shine kit in the closet next to my dress shoes has the cotton balls and kiwi just like you mention.  I think everybody that had to shine boots in the Army can still shine shoes into a mirror on cue.       Congrats on the retirement.  At least this uniform change is going to help fix the abomination that was the ACU. 

  The whole post was spot on, but this part in particular was especially profound.

I have no doubt that if AR/AK pistols had been around and in widespread use during the passing of the NFA laws, they would have been caught up in them.  They aren't "pistols" or "handguns" as is traditionally known, and I can absolutely see how ATF hates the ambiguity of them.  Throw in the foreign imports like CZ's Scorpion and the issue is even more visible.    The SIG Brace debacle was just the start, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they ever just defined pistol under USC as having ammo fed from either a rotating chamber or a magazine that is inserted into the grip.  Might as well get it out of the way and be done with it.

  A dishonorable discharge is also the hardest to get approved because of all the legal procedure, paperwork, approval, and appeals involved.    Plenty of ragtag Soldiers separated for misconduct are bounced in the fastest way possible to get the bad influence out of the unit.  They'll get a reenlistment code that would keep them from coming back in, however they often still get a "General (Under Honorable Conditions)," or "Other Than Honorable (OTH)" unless they had a court martial before they were kicked out.  Then they can appeal it after discharge and get it upgraded, but after they were out processed, they weren't our problem anymore.   The 4473 only asks if you have ever had a Dishonorable discharge.  Buying a firearm is allowed with every other type, so people who couldn't handle military service, but didn't hit the level worth a court marshal may very well have a legal firearm.   My bet is, this guy was either a troublemaker who was bounced fast under admin procedure, or was injured and took a quick discharge.

  More government regulation of pills isn't the answer, changing the mentality of "prescription nation" is.  Big pharma has gotten rich by pushing a pill for every little thing that ails us physically and mentally, so the inevitability of the product seeping into the underground has us where we are now.    I'll also give my standard push for legalizing marijuana.  You don't really see stoners out there doing things like this, they're usually too content to just sit around and waste the night away.  Let people smoke weed without becoming a criminal and you'll see the other drug abuses and the crime therein drop off as it isn't the gateway to the culture of other illegal drugs

  I had to shine boots myself.  As I am fond of saying to younger troops, "I was in the BDU Army."  I had a pair of jungle boots so well worn in that it felt like a handjob for my feet.    Switching to ACU's and the desert boots full time sucked.  The desert boots were good to go when broken in, but that took forever compared to leather boots, and they never lasted as long as quality leather jungles did. 

  I've open carried before, and could care less what people thought of me.  But it was a handgun I open carried, not one of my long guns.   Carrying an AR in public, at an airport no less, is a jabroni move.  Posting pictures of it on Facebook, then sending them to a news station to provoke a story, proves this guy is, as the kids say, "full potato."  He most assuredly does not represent my views on what proper gun carry is.  Open or concealed, you don't carry a weapon to prove a point, you carry it to survive a situation you hope to never find yourself in.  You applaud his cajones, I bemoan his lack of common sense.   This guy is an attention whore, and I'm not supporting his "look-at-me" crusade just because he's a gun owner.  From the looks of things, it would seem that being an asshat is at least a part time job for him.
