In all of those listed, as with California, I would agree only inasmuch as they all contain specific cities which are the problem. Chicago is a hole, but Effingham, Mount Vernon, or the multitude of cities not in Chiraq metro, not so much. Same goes for Cali, WA, OR and believe it or not, even NJ. Keep that in mind as Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga drive us over the edge to get lumped into the same category as all the states you listed.

Washington D.C.

“The countryside“ is my front, back, and side yards.

Yes.

Night Observation Device aka night vision goggles.

There won’t be any spotlights in the equation. Totally defeats the purpose of having NODs. It’s all about seeing in the dark without lights.

That’s a solid point. “I swear sir, I ain’t a huntin! I’m a LARPin!” ”You wanna try it? It’s a blast.”

I’m glad to see that they created a locking tail cap. I have a Warrior X and the magnetic only attachment of the tape switch made it wholly unsuited to weapon mounting.

Turns out it’s 55-9-402 and it’s a class C misdemeanor. So, $50 fine. I’m not saying I would engage in any such activity, but if I knew anybody that would (only on nearly deserted, very rural roads) it would be a decent idea to know the possible consequences. But yeah, I totally just dropped a massive chunk of change on a NVG setup.

It is his wife.

I like the cut of your jib!

Can’t seem to find the first one in the TCA so that is probably a good thing for a large chunk of the population. I have driven through every major city in the state ya know. There would be a lot of people in a whole lot of trouble if it really was an offense. The second isn’t a moving violation so who cares.

Yes. Seriously. I love the Mall of America. They even have truck parking. It’s located in a suburb and one that I would expect to be less understanding of shenanigans considering the high number of tourist dollars. That said, if it’s wild like the city, I’d be best to avoid it. Nah mean? So yeah, it was a serious question. Why wouldn’t it be?

Tom, got a question for you. I’m coming through that area this weekend. Was thinking about making stop at the Mall of America as per my custom. Is Bloomington keeping a lid on things like I expect they would?

If you were to pull someone over in a rural area driving around with zero lights on and using NODs to see, what would you ticket them for? No reason, just curious.

It’s clearly visible in his lap. Bottle of Dasani.

This makes me even happier about my score at the bass Pro in Springfield. 2@ $349 a case for federal .223.

If anybody does, it would be them.

I use a clinch pick for that role. Affixed to a front belt loop, it’s well located and can be utilized quite well even if an assailant has control of the wrist holding the blade. https://shivworkspg.com/product/shivworks-clinch-pick/

That’s a DOT violation.

I’ve got an LCP. Haven’t carried it in years though. I should break it out again. I would imagine that @mousegunner would say you had a mighty fine collection.

This is a question I’m leaving to those above my pay grade.

Image hosting takes up a lot of space and adds up fast. Server space gets very expensive, very quickly. For that reason the amount of space allotted to each member must be limited. The solution is third party hosting sites. @DaveTN put together a wonderful how to explaining how to use what I think is the easiest of these sites, Imgur. Do this and you’ll never run out of space again. https://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/105981-how-to-post-a-picture-with-imgur/

Yup. The rimfire bullseye competitions. Plus, it’s just a fun and accurate gun to plink with.

Guys, I’m going to ask that this particular portion of the conversation be moved over to the thread @crake started in the politics thread. Appreciate y’all’s cooperation.
