My condolences to you and your family Fourtyfive. If you need a hand on your shoulder, you know we're here for you. Making it to 90 is a helluva run though. Here's hoping you and your son have those good aging genes to draw from. And you've got that treasure gun to remind you of all the good times.

This is what I use: Surefire 6P: Only 65 lumens, but price was right; not trying to dissuade the higher lumen model if it's what you want Blackhawk light mount: You can probably get it cheaper if you comparison shop Here's how it's mounted on my SBR (had it very similar on a 16" before the tax stamp came in): And here is how I support hand grip & use the light (not my best form, but hard to setup a pic): That works for *me* as I've found it easier than dealing with the pressure switch, which tended to make me grip too tight, pulling my shots down. @ARO Matt has a great point about the simplification this brings and risk reduction of something as fragile as a thin cable.

The archives route is the "right way" if you have all your paperwork in a row...but will take time to process. I had to request a copy of my discharge certificate, and that took about two months. If someone can translate his DD214 (it's obviously well before my time), then you can order from Medals of America and have everything in about a week or two depending on shipping if you feel like ponying up the cash. A veterans service organization would probably have someone who could guide decoding of the DD 214 if there is a stumbling block somewhere. Let me know if I can help with anything along the way.

I think part of my never having sold a gun is because I don't want to feel the remorse mentioned here.

Wasn't there an incident like this somewhere else a while ago? I feeling some sense of deja vu over this.

En Banc results released today...sorry to say gun rights lost. I'm still unpacking this, and it'll take a bit with all I have going on this week, but this part near the begining says it all. Basically, they said assault weapons (as the government defines them), & magazines are not protected by the 2nd Amendment because they're weapons of war, and that intermediate scrutiny, not strict scrutiny was good enough even if they were when cases like this come up. I hope that this is appealed, that SCOTUS takes it up, and puts commonly used/produced assault weapons under 2A via the Heller standard. Sad day, friends.

That will take time, and even then, it will need to be something so big it forces the House of Representatives to vote for it. That's not happening until the approval polls for President Trump are low and the GAF factor about it starts changing in their districts.

Don't worry, President Trump will move on. Maybe he'll watch The Walking Dead tonight and start Tweeting about the zombie apocalypse.

I take it as a sign they have no meaningful counterargument, and accept that their resorting to a pejorative is just another way of offering their concession.

Sorry for your loss, Bersa. I know friends like that are something that makes life great. While I hope there wasn't any great amount of pain, out on the water with a friend and a rod is as decent a place to spend your last moments as any I suppose.

Just have her leave Skype up and running so all she has to do is click on the accept call button when you call, or click a few buttons to call you. Seems like she won't be using the computer for much else, and you can even set the screen saver to show an album of family pictures for her.

I think the majority of the problem is the pirate ship mentality of organization where there are sections that are in conflict. In theory, Reince Priebus as Chief of Staff should be controlling the nuts and bolts of everything, with a strong Communications Director to craft and guide the messaging through a Press Secretary who is the primary conduit for the message. The Trump White House has nothing approaching a level of organization from what I can tell. Between Priebus, Bannon, Kellyanne, and Vice President Pence, I have no idea who's in charge of what. Spicer pulling double duty as Communications Director and Press Secretary isn't working, and not for nothing, the last time any White House sort of even tried dual hatting those positions was with George Stephanopoulos getting in front of what Dee Dee Myers was doing, and that was a bad idea. This isn't a lack of sea legs, it's a lack of organizational discipline and delineated roles. Every White House has some bumps in the transition from campaigning to administrating, but the current gang doesn't look halfway thought out.

I would never insinuate she's a dumbass...that's why I think all these gaffes she's had in such a short timespan could be deliberate. These kinds of mistakes aren't anywhere near her competence level, which I actually think is through the roof. That gal did a job with the way she kept Trump above water to survive until the end of the campaign. Even Bill Maher got nervous when she became his campaign manager since he knew how skilled she was.

Kellyanne is probably getting a bit tired of her new job. It was one thing to work a campaign where you could count on the other side making mistakes and having to play defense over their myriad email scandals to ease the pressure on, but this is her taking the full brunt of having to be the face and answer for all things Trump, and it's not going to stop. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if her gaffes/misspeaks are her way of trying to push the limits and get fired. She's already said a few times that her biggest priority is being around home for her kids given their ages, and I'm sure the working hours aren't as friendly as she might like for that. Also, for a campaign/pollster expert, December until about June about as close to an off-season as they have, so she's not getting any of the break she was accustomed to. Plus, she gave up who knows how much money to take a .gov salary of $179,700/yr.

Taking Ken's interpretation of MI law as accurate, all this proves is that clearly legally and clearly stupid aren't mutually exclusive.

So he's dropping truth at you on multiple fronts.

Pfft...Erik is just reminding you that there are different acoustics outside the echo chamber.

Even a small caliber can hit someone harder than I can punch or kick.

Just trying to make sure gun owners don't turn themselves into a special snowflake class to save a buck.

There is no legitimate reason for a tax holiday on only guns and ammo.

My birthday is May 4th...their parents were just celebrating how awesome I am. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk just to give Oh Shoot something to be grumpy about.

Do me a favor when you get it, please... Post a pic of the two side by side and tag me with an @ so I see it. I don't want my keychain to get too clunky, but this one looks intriguing. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk just to give Oh Shoot something to be grumpy about.

Primary Arms is in on the $399 AR fad. Link is for Anderson brand, which is good for range use or a starter AR. They also have Del Ton for the same price...but yeah. http://www.primaryarms.com/anderson-manufacturing-am15-with-fixed-front-sight-am15 Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk just to give Oh Shoot something to be grumpy about.

Here's the only rule the Patriots broke in this game...

While I'll not say the M9 (Beretta 92F) failed to do its job, I think its high time for a change given recent innovations in firearms. The SIG 320 seems like a good pick, but like any other weapon carried into combat, it will come down to the user maintaining the gun as much as anything else. Training will play a big part, but the military never really gives good handgun training to conventional units, only Special Operations.
