I heard James G. Daniels III tell his story of flying into Pearl that night and coming under friendly fire. It was very emotional to hear him tell his story. He died in 2004; not many survivors are left. http://www.pacificaviationmuseum.org/pearl-harbor-blog/vf-6-the-deadly-night-of-december-7-1941

I went to Pearl Harbor for the 60th anniversary; it was amazing and emotional.

Other than you not liking metal clips is that made as well as your D.M. Bullard?

It hasn’t been tested in this state or in this Federal District. I still don’t understand why we have to wait for someone to be arrested to test this law and the response from the BATF. But as a C&R holder I got a letter from the BATF saying the Tennessee Firearms Freedom act means nothing to them and if I violate Federal law they will put me in prison. (That’s not exactly what it said, but it’s what they wanted to say.)

Facts spoil everything; that’s why huge lawsuits haven’t been awarded. CNBC can say almost anything they want with little or no facts to back it up, they can slant the info they do have to make a sensational program. A sensational program that leaves people making statements like “Remington has blood on their hands.”

As stated above many have different reasons. But this isn’t an auction site so you really don’t know what a gun sold for. If you want to see what guns actually sold for you can search completed auctions on GB and see how they ended.

I think this is what I'll be trying to get next. Remington Model 1100 Competition Synthetic

I saw it several years ago when it first aired. I’ve done my research. To say they have blood on their hands is ridiculous. The same claims have been made against many gun manufacturers. As I said, I just got my 700 back from a trigger recall (not the one related to this). I thought about what the issues were and whether or not I needed it. With the way I use my rifle and the safety procedures I use I didn’t think it could be an issue. But I go through a lot of guns so I decided to do it in case someone else got the gun. As you acknowledged yourself Glock has had claims of the gun firing without the trigger being pulled. The Father in this case has settled and says Remington should be commended for the recall and putting this behind us. That’s good enough for me. But let me be clear on this; I am not saying that a rifle can’t fire with the safety being flipped off; I am not saying that a handgun can’t discharge when dropping the slide to chamber a round. And I’m not saying that it doesn’t become a bigger possibility when Bubba is wrenching on actions, adjusting triggers, or replacing triggers or components on a mechanical device he doesn’t thoroughly understand. When he screws something up and kills himself or a bystander; there will be an attorney there to take his case.

Hunters where? Is there a county that has a county wide "No discharge of a firearm" ordinance?   Like what? Are you thinking of testing a city ordinance? Does this help? http://www.tn.gov/attorneygeneral/op/2013/op13-066.pdf

He doesn’t have to have an FFL for you to ship it to him in this state, but I think he needs one to work on guns for money.

You are still a Glock fan are you not? Have you lost respect for them? How many families do you think blame a Glock for inadvertent discharges killing friends or family members? This is just a WAG but I’m going to say the number would eclipse the Remington 700 number.

They own the bolt market with the Remington 700, they own the pump market with 870. Two of the best long guns ever made. Of course you are a target when you are at the top. The R51 was a problem; they pulled it from the market and offered buyers their money back. What else would you have them do? This may well be a CYA move; that’s what companies do. People carelessly use firearms and you think they should be sued out of existence? Glock is still selling and they have had issues for many years.

I shoot 50-100 rounds at a range session with my 308 Panther. I don’t spray it down or lube it excessively and I’ve never had a FTF or FTE; not one. But I also thoroughly clean it after each session.

Mechanical devices can fail. If you follow the rules of gun safety it is nearly impossible to shoot someone. Switching off a safety on a loaded rifle while it is pointed at your son is reckless. Glock has been plagued with accusations that the gun went off without pulling the trigger for years. Did they recall them? No, they offered “upgrades”. I’ve seen many times those new to firearms posting that there is no such thing as a “accidental discharge” only “negligent discharges” and that a gun can’t discharge without pulling the trigger; that is what they have been told, and it is wrong. I sent my 700 in and they replaced the trigger and sent it back. Did it need it? Probably not, but it didn’t cost me anything so I had it done. My rifle isn’t loaded unless it’s pointed down range, and the trigger is excellent; so I didn’t want to pay $150 for a trigger I don’t need. Remington is trying to do what’s right. They are a great American Firearms Company that makes an excellent product. I wish them continued success.

I’m not sure I understand. You want to hunt in the city limits and you think a “No discharging a firearm in the city limits” law is what is keeping you from doing that?

You should sight it in at the most common working distance you will be shooting. Is it a range rifle, hunting rifle, are you putting a scope on it? Usually its 100 or 200 yards and then you gather ballistic info for what you are shooting.

Doesn’t look the same to me. They are both fat bald guys, but the guy in your video looks a lot older. He sure is tough though when he’s talking to himself in the car.

I don’t think I would try to convince someone to hold a class that may not be best qualified to teach revolver.

http://www.mcall.com/news/nationworld/mc-pa-fake-army-ranger-federal-charges-1202-20141202-story.html Well it looks like they know who he is. I guess we will see if he gets charged. Although I doubt it, it’s really a pathetic thing to get arrested for; the guy obviously has mental problems.

Isn’t what he’s doing a crime?

104 yards with a target handgun is impressive let alone a duty weapon. Could have been skill, could have been luck; sounds like it may have been both. I would have liked to hear his recall of events when he was having a beer with his friends.

Bravo!

He doesn’t have the authority to make them do it. I’m sure it’s voluntary. Some Chiefs and Sherriff’s will do it and some will tell them to pound sand. I think on a voluntary basis it would be great; some cops buy their own.

That was pretty much a given; he would be more of a target than normal. I don’t blame him either. His state all the way up to the President and Attorney General turned their back on him to side with a thug that just committed robbery and assault and probably was trying to kill him.

I don’t see anything wrong with that. As long as it’s something that couldn’t hamper the use of the weapon.
