Someone wanted him caught. They maybe even paid him to be caught.

The news outlets are claiming that a person of interest has been arrested after being spotted at a McDonald's restaurant in Pennsylvania. The plot thickens! ===Copy and Paste=== A source with knowledge of the investigation into the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson told Fox News that a person fitting the suspect's description has been taken into custody at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pa. The person has a similar gun to the one used in the shooting last Wednesday, the source added. Police tell Fox News that a person at the McDonald's recognized the individual from the wanted posters of the suspect and then alerted law enforcement. When police arrived, they spotted the person and found a weapon -- believed to be the one used in the murder -- in his pocket, along with a fake ID, according to police. “The eyebrows match," another police source told Fox News regarding the appearance of the individual. The man was sitting and working on a laptop in the Altoona McDonald’s when he was spotted, the source continued, revealing that the suspect in Thompson's murder was also spotted doing the same thing at a McDonald's location in New York City.

I used to do that with 45ACP and 10mm casings for the purpose of reloading my own ammo.

The video seems to show a Glock or similar running a suppressor minus a Nielsen device, which would cause the failure to cycle properly. I would pose the idea that maybe the shooter planned it exactly as it happened, opting to run a cheap burner/disposable setup with the minimum needed to do the task at hand. Glock with threaded barrel and an inexpensive suppressor minus the Nielsen device. It would also explain why he didn't seem ruffled by the failure to cycle. He may have practiced it and knew full well that the gun wasn't going to run smoothly and accepted that to keep things simple.

Welcome! Thanks for jumping in and supporting the site.

The assassin was not new to guns. He cleared the malfunction smoothly, and did so what appears to be several times, while closing the gap and continuing to put rounds into the victim. I work with my church safety team, and help lead range sessions, and I see people's own OODA loops get screwed up badly when we either intentionally introduce a malfunction or they suffer one out of sheer bad luck. If you don't practice malfunction drills, you don't look like this guy did.

Health insurers remove executive bios, images from websites after UnitedHealthcare CEO killing | Healthcare Dive So... I get why they would do this, but it is an absolute exercise in futility because countless cached copies of those websites exist on the Internet. Archives like Wayback Machine index websites on a regular basis and keep a snapshot of the site contents available. These archives are pretty easy to use and are accessible to anyone and everyone. As they say, the Internet has a long memory.

Regarding Reporting Posts... A change made with the most recent software update is that we now require a statement, or comment, when our members report a post to the moderating team. You can no longer report a post without providing some commentary on why you are reporting it. You might be surprised at how many times the moderators and I have scratched our heads wondering why a post was reported. Sometimes it is obvious, but often it hasn't been. Providing this information just helps us help you.

A good friend of mine who I would say has more professional experience with guns than I do switched to LTT spaghetti shooters a few years ago and seems to have completely sworn-off Glocks as a result. I keep telling myself to stay away from them. Nice piece!

Online Purchase for a Family Member
TGO David replied to imjustabill1970's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
There are no laws against gifting a firearm to a family member who lives in your home state. If they live in another state, you are legally required to transfer it to them via an FFL in their home state. Whether people actually do that or not is anyone's guess. I'm just telling you what the law is. -
I've been traveling for work a lot lately and it has given me some opportunities to see what works, what doesn't, what is important, and what isn't. My first observation is that I think the ideal backpack size for travel or commuting is between 20L and 26L. Depending on the length of my trip and the amount of clothing I have to take with me, I am pairing-up my backpack with a carry-on roller suitcase or a larger checked-back. The backpack itself is for my laptop, water bottle, medicines and toiletries I absolutely wouldn't want to be separated from, and sometimes a sweatshirt or light jacket. Obviously, the bigger the bag, the less room you have for your feet under the airline seat in front of you. This matters more on longer flights. The bag I've been using most, lately, is my Mystery Ranch 2-Day bag. (Note: That's an affiliate link that helps TGO) The bad news is that there's nothing subtle about this bag and it's on the larger end of the spectrum. The good news, however, is that it is insanely versatile, very adjustable, extremely comfortable, and has proven to be quite rugged. Plus it does fit under the seat on Southwest Airlines. The three-way zipper closure on this and several of their Catalyst bags has turned out to be a feature I had no idea how much I'd appreciate until I tried it. Being able to either unzip the top flap for quick access to things, or split the bag wide open has been super convenient. I'm also fond of the two side pockets that will either tote 32oz water bottles or a bottle and umbrella with ease. You don't realize how important easy access to a water bottle is until you're parched, inside the TSA security gate, and ready to fill up at one of the filtered water stations. Having to sort through a bag of stuff just to get your water bottle is a huge pain. Another plus is that this bag has a flat bottom and does not tip over easily so long as you load it properly and keep the heavier items at the bottom of the bag. Having a bag that doesn't constantly flop over into the aisle while you're sitting at the airport gate is a small luxury. Of course it also plays well at the office. Whether or not this thing is perfect is yet to be seen. Other bags keep catching my eye, particularly those with a more slim, slick, or sleek external appearance, but I keep talking myself out of them because they lack things that I've come to really like about this Mystery Ranch 2-Day bag. The load-lifters at the top of this bag's shoulder straps where the meet the body of the bag itself really do make a big difference in comfort and adjustability. And the shoulder straps themselves are very well padded and have quick adjust buckles so that you can loosen it for easier on/off, and cinch it down fast once it's on. I am surprised at how few bags incorporate load lifters or have thin, flimsy shoulder straps without quick adjustment. I am also a fan of the fact that there are two additional deep pockets inside the bag that can either be used to stow things like travel umbrella, water bottles, coffee tumblers, etc. That's in addition to the two outside, so you can run it a little more slick by keeping things inside rather than outside the bag. Anyway... just thoughts from recent travels. This thread caught my eye because I keep looking at other bags coming up on Black Friday sales and just can't talk myself into any of them yet.

I've used Total Boat with success. I'd stop by Woodcraft in Franklin and talk to the folks there about what you're doing and let them make some recommendations. They are good folks to know and very knowledgable.

Oh man. Death comes for all of us, but we sure could have used James Earl Jones for a while longer it seems.
