Sidecarist

I was told by TWO officer that I had to have a sign every 50ft, and it was suggested that I fill in between the signs with blue paint on trees. It appears that purple paint replaces the signs. I'll still use signs, but it's a fact that paint is hard to remove from a tree...

That may be the case I didn't research her at all and know nothing about her. I'm a bit jaded lately by this selective free speech crap. I'll look into what she's all about and for now I'll take your word for it. I don't disagree with what she said, my response was more about the narratives we see so frequently now

Funny how this video is about "free speech" and this girl didn't do anything wrong. Yet I suspect that she has different feelings about speech she doesn't like on college campuses or political speech, etc. this whole video makes me scream "double standard". I don't see the connection with a dead idiot, and stupid girl that was talked into shooting him.

To me this is a great example of peer pressure. no matter how hard someone tries to convince you of anything. If your GUT says don't then DON'T. Her instinct was right she chose not to follow it. She will have to live with that for the rest of her life in or out of prison, with or without a record. Her life has been changed and can't be made whole again. He was an idiot, or a coward looking for someone else to shoot him. either way he doesn't have to live with anything now... Darwin telling us all something here.

The early 229s were not available in 9mm. Finding a conversion may not be easy. I know some that use a 40 slide with 9mm mags and barrel, but I wouldn't trust it to be reliable in that configuration. For what it's worth mine has 20k or more through it and the only part ever replaced is the recoil spring. I'm not a laser fan so can't offer advice on the CT grips.

As a machinist I'll say it's a bargain if done right. The real quasi on is how much would it cost me to do this work to this quality? The answer is self evident then.

My edc is a mid size 9mm. I am fortunate that most days in can carry that. I used to be a 45 guy, but years of engineering on 9mm ammunition has changed my mind.

"Stopping Power" is largely a construct created by the FBI and other agencies. Better to have a weapon than have the super stopper 1000mm magnum at home in the safe because you can't carry it! Besides when the bad guy makes a really bad mistake and robs a store full, of armed citizens or off duty LEO's getting shot from multiple directions they are getting what they asked for. I've carried a 22 when circumstances dictated it. Shot placement is more important than anything else...

I've had the best luck with duracell and panasonic brand batteries. Energizer and some other brands seem to be of lower quality. I'm swapping batteries at about 6 months. I date the batteries with a sharpie when I install them

And an EARLY Barrett 50, notice the Leupold scope, and NO muzzle brake.

Well.... pm me your email and I'll send you the mp4 file it's small.

Here is a link to download the video of the deer. Downloading Lower_06_16_2017 2_00_03AM_1497592803920.mp4

We have a non pro arlo system used to monitor our driveway. The batteries last 6 months or more (4 CR123). Easy to change with my setup, but if the cameras were up high it could be a pain. Night vision is OK out to 30ft or so. Not as good as a mid priced game camera. Motion detection is a bit slow for catching vehicles. Sometimes we only get the back half of car from the side. It's easy to monitor from your phone, but only one person can do it at a time. Im happy enough that I'm thinking of expanding it to 4 cameras. I don't know what the pro version offers extra, maybe the sound recording... If you are intersted PM me with email and I'll send you a short night video of a deer on the driveway, about a 500k mp4 file.

Nice! What light is it? I picked up a truglo light laser combo at the NRA show that in on my SF. Perfect for those bump in the night moments like the possum on my porch last week.

Shhhhh Don't tell anyone that a private armed citizen! its against the narrative. In all honesty, when you watch the news story video its is reported honestly so I can't really complain. I'm sure the police responding were glad they had the help.

Maybe they could start an annual congressional 3 gun tournament. I highly doubt anyone would show up at practice for that with the intention to shoot any congresmen! Heck they might even find out how fun shooting is...

Hard to carry on the field, but aimed fire from those in the dugouts might have brought things to an end faster. Sadly it probably wouldn't have changed the result much in this case. Everyone I saw interviewed said it took them a few moments and a couple of shots to realize the gravity of the situation. By then the congressman had been shot. If those two Capitol Police officers had not been there then of course it would have been a very different story... It makes me wonder about how long I would take to react in similar circumstances when seconds count. In this sort of situation the aggressor has the advantage for a few crucial seconds. The only advantage the direct target has against this sort of attack is that they seem to universally be poor shots... The advantage swings to the legal gun owner when they can respond in defense of others. This is unexpected by the coward and they usually fall apart quickly.

You beat me to it and said it more eloquently. Well done sir!

This coward is indeed the only one responsible for his actions and he's gone now. The bigger problem is that there is a measurable part of the population that doesn't have the skills to deal with loosing. They want a participation award for living... if they can't get it they will throw a violent temper tantrum. Most of these cowards use only words, or social media, but a few become physically violent. The problem as I see it comes from these few people following a meme together and getting incited to group violence. Their minds can't differentiate between right and wrong they have no morals and are cowards of the highest order looking for something to make them strong. They latch on to an idea and use that idea for strength and justification of violence. BLM riots are the same as the Berkley and Evergreen campus riots. To them it's about fairness, not right or wrong. They feel justified to threaten or commit violence in the name of fairness To them it's all about what they WANT to be given, rather than what they will DO for themselves. This has been a long time coming. I think it's a form of civil war. The wanters vs the doers, fairness vs hard work... I'm a doer and will defend myself because of that, I won't go out and commit acts of violence because I don't need to to make myself feel good, or strong. I have the moral strength to know right from wrong and not harm my fellow man except in defense.

I won't be there, but best of luck!

I do, and that why I hangout around here

The whole thing is just a damn shame and proves that anyone can be a violent jackass. In many parts of our country there no longer is any "polite society". This is a direct result of "social media". People can say things on line that they would never say in person because they are cowards. Every time I post here and the few other forums that I frequent I think about my words. If I wouldn't say it to your face I won't type it and hide behind a keyboard. When Trump called Islamic terrorists losers he was close. They are cowards. This guy was a coward too.

I'm going to get in trouble on this website....

Clearly this is a mental health problem. "Trump Derangement Syndrome" should become an official diagnosis in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Yes I'm being facetious....

Where did you pick that up? I really like the looks of it. I'm assuming AR500? How thick? Thanks!
