  1. Yeah, I've got a feeling this just might be the gun's fault. They are very well known to aim and fire themselves! lol
  2. I maybe didn't use the best choice of words in my earlier post. I meant breaking the law wrong. . I DO agree she failed to do her job. I've never been on a movie set and I'm not sure what the standards are for Armorers. Common sense and the law don't always go hand in hand. I don't doubt she will be charged, but the real criminal here is Alec Baldwin. Ultimately, had he exercised any of the gun safety rules, the incident wouldn't have happened. As was pointed out above, having the film industry there is a boon to their economy, so I imagine they wont do anything to jeopardize that.
  3. I said from the beginning I thought he was at fault and should be charged with a crime. Most, if not all of the talking heads and so called experts on TV and internet news keep saying he isn't at fault but that the Armorer should be and likely will be charged. I think the Armorer might should be fired if she wasn't in control of the guns as some have said she should be. But then Im not sure what the standards are for that. Could be she didn't do anything wrong. It certainly sounds like she wasn't even in the immediate vicinity of the unattended gun cart. At first I was suspicious that someone from the crew that walked off the set earlier had planted a live round, but now it looks like the guns were fired for fun beforehand and someone left a round in the gun. I cant see the Armorer being charged, but ya never know what will happen when things get political, as this surely will.
  4. Got a 2 pak of magnets on Amazon and also some strong tape. But not sure I really want to go this route for sure///
  5. FN makes good stuff. I've still got a FNP-45USG, which is an absolutely awesome gun with 15+1 rounds of .45 ACP goodness,. lol.
  6. I don't get HBO, so will have to wait on this one, but I will probably watch it when i can. I read the book as a kid and liked it. I was way into SYFY. Didn't care for the first movie too much though.
  7. Is that an M-1 variant standing to his right?
  8. I have also used it for years to buy/sell/trade occasionally. It was so simple before the change. I complained about the change and got a pretty quick response that said: I understand people are resistant to change, but updates are necessary to operate on the constantly evolving internet. The old website technology was obsolete. The software company that developed the core codebase stopped providing updates and discontinued support in 2018. The majority of our audience uses a smart phone to browse and shop the Gun Owners Club. The old website was not designed to fit on smaller screens. Google started penalizing page rank in 2015 for websites that did not have a mobile friendly layout in 2015. We did our best to keep the website similar to the old platform while making it mobile friendly and adding improved messaging, image uploaders and many other new features. There are instructions available to help you in our FAQ https://www.###.com/faq If you need additional tech support, we are here to assist you.
  9. I agree. I read his book and it was obvious he was a little bit more political while in the Army, but still, a good man.
  10. Do you like this speedloader better than the one from Uplula?
  11. First time my daughter shot a handgun. She shot one of my S&W Victory 22s and also my Glock 45. I think she did awesome for her first time. She listened and applied the shooting techniques i told her. She only missed once, and that was at the smaller number 2 target area in the upper right. I reckon she stopped this bad guy!
  12. I, for one, am not a fan at all of all this. There's nothing wrong with staying small towns and rural. our great state is being ruined, and our politicians are doing all they can to hasten making our state like the the others. Really sad.

    Glock 45

    Went to the range Saturday and shot a few of my guns that I'd not shot yet. Both of my S&W Victory .22s shoot beautifully, with no issues. Also shot my Glock 45 for the first time. Ran 50 rounds though it flawlessly. I can see why everyone likes this gun.
  14. Recently bought a G-45, and then found a sale on Pmags. Today I got around to loading the first one. For some reason I could only get 17 rounds into it, no matter how I tried, despite using a Maglula loader. FINALLY, I realized that they were 17 rounders. Lord, getting old has it's challenges.
  15. No need to be so condescending. But then of course you are ever so much smarter than me, I'm sure. I said I took the vaccine and booster because I thought it was best for me, at my age and with my health. I just don't think it should be mandated for several reasons, not least of which it seems at least in some cases that it can be spread by a vaccinated person. Here's the link you wanted, at least one of them: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/08/10/us/covid-breakthrough-infections-vaccines.html Mind you, this is from a very liberal, woke organization, so if they are printing it, I would imagine the numbers are higher.
  16. Seems like I'm reading and hearing about a lot of vaxed people getting Covid and many that die. Plus Im reading that vaxed folks can still spread it...I g9ot the Moderna and the booster, due to my age and health issues, but I'm really wondering about this whole issue. I also wear a mask inside places that require it, but Im reading much about how that might also be ineffective...I HATE that this whole issue has turned into a political thing, but come on, man. Where's the truth?
  17. I just took an online Coursera course for work, Covid-19 Contact Tracing. One questions was: You just discovered in an interview that the contact was illegally in this country, what do you do? The answer I selected, Immediately terminate the interview and notify DHS of the contact's location, was somehow not the correct answer!
  18. I'm in agreement. I stopped liking them because of him. I'm already a life member or Id probably cancel membership if i was paying yearly dues. I think they have done much for us, despite their wasteful suspending at the top.
  19. When NY finally gets them, what do yall think will happen?> Will they reconstitute somewhere else, Texas maybe?
  20. Yeah, this and many other things in today's society! Heck, even people from 20 years ago wouldn't believe it.
  21. I retired from the military a long time ago, in 1993. Nearing the end of my second career, but I go to the store and buy 'retirement' tickets (lottery) every week, lol.
  22. So sorry for your loss. Prayers for your recovery...
  23. I voted for the Navy Vintage, but like Grunt67, I have a military (Retired USAF) plate.
  24. Great explanation, and now that I read it, I remember reading it before. I like this. Do you think we will ever get to where we need to be here in Tennessee as regards gun laws>?
