I have very mixed feelings on "Red Flag" laws. Any law that gives police or federal agents the ability to walk into your home...take your property, and/or arrest you is extremely unsettling to me. As has been covered here and in other forums and media, I think the practice is full of misuse and prone to personal injury on both sides of the involved parties. In reality, as bersayguy mentioned, gives virtually anyone with a grudge against you the ability to cause you untold grief and potentially ruin your life forever. There needs to be a better criteria for it's use and existance than we see in place now. Mabe having it be linked to civil court proceding or an actual crime? Medical personnel with proper credentials and proof of a threat? I just don't think the current law is acceptable. And...of course the threat is being used once again by certain groups and politicians to further more and broader gun control. JMO

Hope it gets some positive results for you. As I said earlier, scraping the wheels at a recycling center is a way to go; but not knowing current pricing...it could be a bust. Check for a recycling center and call for current prices on aluminium. There were "grades" when I was doing it. Building materials, some aluminum wiring, radiator cores, and 2 grades on wheels. Sorry I dont remember more, but my heyday in selling damaged wheels was 15 years ago. I did make a few dollars at it, but could be time consuming. Wheels had to be clean. No wheel weights nor excessive dirt and especially no mounted tires. If I remember correctly, around 30 cents per pound back then. I think I got 40 when there was a "shortage." Aluminium has been a very much demanded product for reuse at different times. I just happened to be in a position then to take advantage of it. Good luck with it.

That's great!!

Hope is what gives us the strength to go on. I pray for it daily. Hope and strength to walk thru this garden we have inherited. I come across as a dark and pessimistic person most times. I don't deny that. Sadly it's a part of my nature. I do work to change it and myself; but it is a daily challenge for me. But I still am able to see the good in people and this life. I just pray for more good, and less evil.

That's a good assessment. Says more than I could cover. I guess I got caught up in looking for answers as well. As you say...broken. Terribly so. Must be to do this. My wife and I were talking about it last evening. Her take is just pure evil got into this young woman and took over. She thinks a Devine intervention is the only hope for this country now. I will not argue that thought. She may be right. I do know it's coming...just not when.

Thank you, trying. Lol! Can't sleep. Every movement sets it off. Can't really pinpoint a specific thing I've done to make this happen. Doc told me this afternoon that at first he thought I might have torn some cartilage in my shoulder. Swelling had gone down enough for a good, thorough, and painful exam today. Without an MRI, really can't tell, but he thinks it's not. Whatever, it's really putting a stop to some projects for a while. GLWS

Last week one of the big online sellers had them for 900. IIRC.

Scrap aluminum gotten that high? Back when I was into auto parts, I was giving 5-8 for wheels and getting an average of 10 each. But that's been a few years back. MphsTiger...have you tried selling to used wheel and tire stores? Maybe worth a call.

Truth be known, I haven't fired a shotgun in 20 years. Bought a few, but last time shooting was on a skeet range. And...as interesting as this sounds, I'd better pass to someone who can shoot it. Had a very bad weekend with back and shoulder pain. My body is really letting me know just how bad off I am. I hate it, but finding that I must accept the truth...getting older and more decriept by the day. Sadly, this is not a comment for humor. It's my truth these days. I've had about 6 hours sleep in the last four days. Very fitfull and painful. Pain meds don't seem to work like they once did. Chiropractic is no longer as effective. Not sure what's next. On a better note, for anyone considering this...AnotherMike is great to deal with! Good luck friend, with the sale.

Even then...will we get the entire "manifesto"? Much as we hate it, and hate to believe such things happen; who's to say we won't recieve a redacted version? Agenda driven politicans and media could decide to release "what's best for us" to know. It has happened before.

You are tempting me!!!

How about the Popeal line? Not sure of the spelling here.

Day'em...That's nice! Unfortunately, out of my range at the moment.

Very nice! Very tempting...but another caliber to feed? Gotta think hard about that.

Ditto. I've heard what I think is similar to your thoughts. Suspect/agressor possibly a trans.

I believe we have similar thoughts here. Timing of every incident seems to coincide with political need for someone/party. Keep the public upset with diatribe. Hold facts back. My wife doesn't believe any person could possibly do such a thing. I've been trying to teach her to look beyound the headline. Who benefits from this? She's wonderful, but sometimes a bit naive.

I have seen worse. It's actually not that bad looking.

The Glock Store has been, for me anyway, a big letdown. Many reasons, but I hate the range situation most. It's really a "training only" setup. And expensive too! Just my opinion.

Seems like it to me anyway. It wraps around 2 sides of the upper level in the store.

Possibly. But with 60%+/- of the safe weight being the door, the pic seems to show it fell from the front; either way...too dangerous for one man to move alone. Especially at our ages.

Best care you can get! Nursing wives a great! They can also be a terror, so watch out. I know. I got one too!

Very sorry this happened, and I pray the bentleman is ok. However, my pitiful size/weight recognition skills wonder if that 2000# assessment is a wee bit off. I have one that appears to be about that size. It's 56 x 48 and was just under 1000 #. My brotherinlaw and I moved it off an open trailer and sat it up safely. But we had rollers, a hydrolic lift jack and blocks to sit it on. All we had to do was push and shove to get it placed on the blocks. That was 20 years ago though. I wouldn't even think of trying to move it now. Too old, too slow, and way too paranoid of getting hurt again.

Almost 1 1/2 to 2 years! LOL!

CZ75 P-01, and Omega...can't beat them!

This had to "come back around" as they say. Old man's thought processes are slow these days! Yes I do remember that meet. I kept thinking your handle was familiar. I'm still a CZ fan,and have a few still lying around. I'm strongly thinking that as the money becomes available, I'll go after another 365, probably the XMacro or Tacops. So it wasn't too big a loss.
