From Wikipedia Plot By the year 2022, the cumulative effects of overpopulation, pollution and an apparent climate catastrophe have caused severe worldwide shortages of food, water and housing. There are 40 million people in New York City alone, where only the city's elite can afford spacious apartments, clean water and natural food (at horrendously high prices, with a jar of strawberry jam fetching $150). The homes of the elite are fortressed, with private security, bodyguards for their tenants, and usually include concubines (who are referred to as "furniture" and serve the tenants as slaves). America has also adopted the metric system. It was all the Metric System’s fault.

That is the same price as the ShieldPlus. I will be curious how the two compare at the range. Roughly the same dimensions. Striker fired polymer frame or hammer fired alloy frame.

Says it is an aluminum alloy frame. $599 pre-order price https://www.rangeusa.com/product-details?id=158967

I think Billy the Kid was a bit uglier.

I have a memory of a story my dad told me from when he was stationed on the DMZ after the Korean conflict. I can’t say it is 100% true. The Korean barracks (maybe on the north) had a problem with thieves. They caught one of the thieves, and put his head on a spike. They did not have a problem again.

I suppose those are the two sides of the coin. On one side it is control of crime (or what ever societal moray is being broken) through fear of physical punishment, or control through fear of social ostracism. I wonder if in our society if we are in limbo somewhere in between where we don’t want to have harsh punishment, but there are not enough societal pressures to keep people following the rules. It is a scary place to be.

Then folks would not J-walk. It may be considered barbaric in “modern society” but as bobs guns mentioned, the Muslim punishment of cutting of the hand of a thief works. I remember a story I heard in the 80’s when a friend of mine moved with his family to Saudi Arabia because his dad was working on the new airport. They were out and about and his dad dropped his wallet. When he realized it was missing and they retraced their path, it was right where he dropped it. No one was willing to just steal in off the ground for fear of losing a hand.

I thought the old rich guy died of natural causes…..

They stole them.

My bad. I thought Bobsguns had the pistol in-hand.
-
Take it apart and give us some info on its design and internal operation.
-
Cool. Let us know when they call to say “please return the pistol and kindly not discuss it”

Hope you are negative, or if positive it is mild. My wife manages the school office at a small Christian school. They have had their share of outbreaks so our chances of getting exposed are fairly high. We both have had our boosters. We both also had Covid in March of 2020 so fingers crossed we have “super immunity”

If you have a phone, and location services is turned on, someone (Apple, Google, etc) is tracking you 24/7. How do you think Apple Maps knows when the traffic is bad? All the phone’s speed of motion slows down or stops and they can infer there is a traffic problem.

It was very tender. Cooked for about 3 hours. There were 9 of us and we polished off about 3/5 of the roast.
-
We also did a dish of baked “barbecue” Royal Reds, I mean we are on the Gulf Coast. i do love a good low country boil.
-
Cooked a 13lb, 6-rib standing rib. Rubbed with a mix of fresh crushed garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and olive oil. It turned out quite tasty.

Merry Christmas to you all!

Welcome to another Nashvillian. Born and raised here myself.

I think guns and do-nuts are a great combo

That’s why I’m a lover not a fighter

Sorry, AR platform. I’m not that good of a gunsmith (yet) to build a bolt action rifle.
