Man blows off leg shooting Tannerite rifle targets
Capbyrd replied to Pete123's topic in General Chat
Why shouldn't they? I'd hazard a guess that at least 90 percent of auto accidents are caused by acts of negligence and they cover those. I'd have to check again but I don't think any of my many insurance policies have a stupidity clause. -
I've run a number of Syma S107s before I got into bigger helis. They are great beginner copters and can be modded. Lots of fun.

Man with guns detained at Bellevue Baptist Church (Memphis)
Capbyrd replied to R_Bert's topic in General Chat
People in society are a threat to us all and we should all remain vigilant. He wasn't wrong. -
Thunderbolt is terrible ammo in my experience and runs in about zero percent of the guns I own. And this will usually solve just about any FTE issues you will have with a Ruger Rimfire. http://www.rimfiresports.com/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RSC&Product_Code=VC10EE%2FVC2EE&Category_Code=R2EXT

Because more and more innocent people are realizing that SOME cops have a tendency to overstep. It's the same reason that years ago, I stopped stopping in Walmart for the woman to check my bags or if the alarm is going off. I haven't done anything wrong and I'm not going to be treated like a criminal. If a cop is harassing me for something I am not guilty of, he ceases to be a cop to me and is just another citizen trying to potentially do me harm and I will treat him as such.

That's not the world we live in anymore. People form opinions based on news reports. And those new reports are printed (or posted) with half truths and misinformation constantly. Court of public opinion tends to heavily favor the cops, especially when the "perp" is black. of course, the "perp" in this case is a honky but the cops will still get benefit of the doubt from most, even though we should be giving benefit of the doubt to all until we have a better idea of what actually happened.

I used to post a bunch of gun, knife and gadget stuff. Now I mostly just use it to follow whores. I just downloaded snapchat too, for the whores.

I personally feel a truck traveling at speed with a live person in the bed and a dead one behind the wheel is more of a hazard than a truck with a drunk person behind the wheel.

Const. Carry Bill brought up today
Capbyrd replied to CommsNBombs's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I disagree. While his little speech was great for us, it didn't do anything to change minds and an emotional speech like that will never change an opinion. The bill's sponsors needed to be better informed to fight back against the guests speaking and against Sen. Harris. -
It's him. Taran has posted several videos of this. I doubt he's interested in having it taken down since this is supposedly all training for a movie role.

Ten perps. Multiple (more than one) arrests means at least 8 people could still be on the loose. Doesn't sound contradictory to me.

NO! Just NO!!!!

Congrats to your son from a Eagle Class of 99.

I think its more of a bean counter issue. Let the public be the beta testers you will get paid to have a testing period.

I like everything about my sr9 better than this pistol. Everything except the am I safety. I have a habit of bumping into things and clicking the safety off. I shoot it better. And the trigger pull is more familiar to me. The trigger on the American is much nicer to pull but the long reset really does suck. The more I think about if, the more unhappy I am with that. I gotta say, and Erik, you'll know that this means a lot coming from me, I won't be recommending this to anyone without some changes coming down the line.

Made it to the range today. I never share pics of targets because I'm a terrible handgunner. I stay on paper but never group well. Gonna share some pics today though. I took 250 rounds of mixed type and manufacturer. Not a single malfunction. I did not clean the gun before the range trip. So this is out of the box. So I was aiming at different parts of the circle for each group. The number next to each group corresponds to the ammo in the above pic. Perfecta seemed to "group" best for me. Regardless of where I was aiming, the gun was always low left. I compensated later to try and start hitting bull but I just couldn't get my hold right. As for the thumb issue. I could feel it. And I know some people will have a hard time with it. But even though I felt it, it wasn't painful at all. Trigger reset. Definitely is long. I short stroked the trigger about 5 times though the early mags. But I did get used to it and got pretty decent controlling it. I like the pull on this trigger a lot, just not the reset. Mag closes slide. Happened twice. Only when I slammed the mag home. Took some effort.

Sure do. They hired John Hollister and a couple of others away from AAC/Freedom Group last year or late 2014.
-
While that is ideal, it will likely never happen. I'd love to see us get back to that. But there are just too many pansies running around nowadays.
-
It certainly helps. And remember that Ruger has given millions to the NRA each of the past few years. This could get the NRA behind some NFA stuff as well.

If you dig further into that quote and add context to it, he is only referring to civilians. It doesn't excuse his statements or stance, but he wasn't calling WWII vets dishonest.
-
Yes. If you look at my pictures, you will see the serial under the slide backplate.

Here is a shot of the chassis. Looks like the takedown lever is the only hole thats clearly visible. Not sure if the rest is glued in or what.
-
Not sure. Haven't had a chance to try and take it apart. I know that the takedown lever goes all the way through so its possible that it is one thing holding the chassis in.

Looks like Ruger might be bringing a 22 can to market. http://beta.ruger.com/micros/silent-sr/index.html I hope its true and that its just the first in a complete line.
