No doubt it's amazing how much some of this stuff used to go for even recently

I've got a chance at one seems to be in nice shape what little information I could find has to do with tool marks on the inside mainly which doesn't really bother me but supposedly the frame and slide are made out of some good stuff and I've read theyre reliable Anybody here have one?

Look at what we had just a few short years ago people allowed to pillage and burn things We had idiots blocking major roadways through huge cities I think the covid lock down and the reaction to it should have been an eye opener for some people Kind of like 9/11 should have been an eye opener Regardless of where you stand on what took place and who's responsible We had always been told nothing like that would happen on our soil Regardless I can tell you the industry that I'm in shut down for a while but pick back up with no problems in quality or supply Fast forward to 2008 when the came down You could always get the parts you needed in my industry which is transmissions no issues before 2008 2009 It's never been the same since then and only gotten worse since the COVID fiasco So I mention this mainly because I prepare I buy things ahead of time that I didn't used to I have stocked up on some cores because even common parts are hard to get So that's what it took for me to open my eyes I've always planned ahead but I'm more proactive and getting a bit more everyday

These threads can appear to get out there no doubt Should we be prepared? Of course we should always be prepared I was checking out at the store the other day Guy in front of me couldn't get his damn card to work seemed like 5-10 minutes finally they get that s*** working I get up to register and I tell the young lady behind it and that's why you carry cash She responds I never carry cash So quick and easy story is this I said let's say You've got $10,000 in the bank and you're comfortable with that and the fact that you think you can always access it with your card to get whatever you need anytime day or night Let's just say you go to bed one night and the internal revenue service decides you futzed up your tax return and you now owe them $9995 and accordingly they remove that from your account because they have that ability they have that ability today Of course it's a mistake not trying to explain that s*** to them firing off letters phone calls it'd be months before you saw your money but in the meantime you didn't have any cash anywhere you put your faith in the system as you were taught in school to do I said so now what? Do yourself a favor keep some cash nearby always doesn't have to be $10,000 but you do have to keep some cash for just such an occasion She said you know my parents never taught me that I said to her I'm not surprised regardless always plan ahead Make it a part of the way you operate Canned goods yeah get you a bunch why not they got a fairly long shelf life and you just keep them rotated Water I always keep some water maybe not as much as I should but I do you never know You're always getting letters in the mail blah blah blah your water failed a test etc People don't prepare for anything so if you mention preparing they get scared they think you're nuts I think it's more nuts the fact we've gotten away from self-reliance

I'm with you on that It looks grim let's hope it just looks grim

I'm 53 so I graduated in '88 and I can remember having to do a book report on George Orwell's 1984 in about 1984 For the longest time I wondered why I was important for us to use that book obviously that's fiction as well but boy it's your interesting how they want everything to go to electronics and away from books every time you open a book it says the exact same thing not so with finding things on the internet I'm going to say like Rome we are in the decline and probably have been for a while I'm definitely more prepared than quite a few people for an immediate short-term issue ice storm etc I could go a week pretty easy I've got a generator etc but I'm no good for a month or longer in fact I'm not even close to good for something like that and I should be

Absolutely I have said it for a long time with people as dependent on services and electricity as they are if you were to shut the grid down let's say we lost power for 72 hours by the end of that I think people would be eating each other in the streets did you see the way they acted over toilet paper That's all you need to know

This is about as cheap as I have seen them plus transfer fee plus tax and add the extra original mag So I feel it's a pretty good deal for someone looking for one unlike a lot of stuff gets posted on here above MSRP lmao

All very good points Some of them I didn't think of that as I really only own one semi-long range rifle Just thought it might be easier to combine the two but like you say a handheld wouldn't have to raise the rifle I was thinking of getting something for my dad for his deer rifle He's in his mid-70s I figured easy was good for him or at least maybe easier I've been looking at an inexpensive Buck Masters 1500 rangefinder for myself try to get into the math surely it's good to know that stuff Kind of like I can add numbers in my head where they teach kids now to use a calculator I can do both -
I understand

The more complicated they make things the more jobs they create for their friends Simply put that's my take on a lot of stuff

You know after thinking about it a bit further I suppose a card in your hand isn't really up to date on everything you may have been doing up to this day and making one I suppose is possible

This one is decocker currently but it's easy to go either way on the px4

I've got a question related to handgun carry permits I would think logically the answer would be no Do you still have to pay $10 for a background check if you possess a current handgun carry permit
