I bet there would be no shortage of CCW permit holders willing to remove them for free.

It's political, the voting base wanted an arrest at any cost. When the video was released, no mention of the gun in his hand, but I think they said one was found afterwards. So from the get go they were trying to railroad the officer. I was leaning towards the perp's side of things until the police union weighed in with all the facts. His record shows he should have been in prison, if anyone is to blame, it's the ones that had him on the streets. His record, IMO, should not be considered unless the officer knew who he was pursuing, but it does show he had a reason to run and possibly use the gun to keep from getting arrested. And now with the rest of the shenanigans to affect an arrest, I am definitely leaning towards the cops side on this.

I would use the data for the weight, since it's the same size, relatively, the weight would be the only difference. Velocity will be different, increase as you speculated, and pressure, probably less, since the bullet will move forward sooner. Bearing surface should start the same since it's the same mold, but hardness may be an issue since the bullet may not obturate as much, leading to less bearing surface.

If he was legal, I highly doubt this situation would of happened, first off, there would have been no pursuit, no gun in hand, so I don't see this particular case as an escalading issue.

Soft judges!

Now that is an interesting weapon, but would it be an NFA since one pull of the trigger sets off three rounds?

I think he was a felon, so constitutional carry would not apply, unless they had restored his rights. https://fox17.com/news/local/man-shot-killed-by-metro-police-has-lengthy-criminal-history While the stop may have been a mistake, the shooting could have been avoided had he dropped his weapon. Many people get pulled over due to mistaken identity or because they are in a similar vehicle on a BOLO. But even then, once pulled over they can be charged if there is any probable cause, such as an odor of marijuana or alcohol, in which case the reason for the original stop becomes a moot point.

I think it's due to all the media attention and BLM movement instead of the actual facts of the case.

In that decision, they stated a police officer may not shoot a fleeing perp to apprehend him (ruled against the police force). In this case, he was not shot to apprehend him, he was shot because he presented a danger to the officer.

There is nothing, even in the video, to contradict the officers statement. So if he indeed turned, with the gun, it could have been seen as a threat.

Umm, yea I just said the same thing.

That does not apply here IMO, he was not shot due to fleeing, he was shot because he did not drop his weapon when told to and presented a clear and present danger to the officer and society at large.

That there is one of those fast and furious rifles, the feds want nothing to do with it.

I like it, there are enough old rifles out there, so reworking a few is kind of cool.

Ok, so are we talking male or female? Because this whole he/she BS is confusing as all get out.

I'll take a wait n see on this one, nothing so far has shown he won't still be anti-gun. As to attacking the person vs the message, I agree somewhat, but some of these people, ie Hogg, Pelosi, et al, make it so easy to label them as idiots and treat them as such.

My condolences, though we all know it will come it doesn't make it any easier when it does.

I'm good, I have enough LC FMJ 7.62x51, and berdan cases.

Yea, but they make good bottle openers.

That is one thing that bugs me a bit, how is it on the guy to know someone is underage on a site like that, or say a bar or other establishment in which you must be at least 18 to be on/in? Not saying in this case he didn't know, but some of those girls look way older than they are.

Maybe they've seen the light??? Nah, I'm sure they can justify them having guns while still demanding ours.

What, no brace?

The picture story, is wrong: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2018/09/09/internet-wrong-botham-jean-officer-amber-guyger-didnt-pose-together-photo

In that case, the signs suck.

My understanding is that no money will be spent to remove the signs, but carry is legal unless one of the exclusions exist.
