FTFY. Most sane folks realize that Obama ain't much of a president. But, it gets real old seeing all the outrage when he does the same damn thing that Reagan and Bush did before him. The object of the game is cutting thru the BS that's coming from ALL directions.

I don't know Larry, but I've read up some. Shooter first, business man second. It shows in the way he does business.

Well, it should at least be in the form of a question. With that said, I was a whole lot smarter in my 20's than I am now

Hard wired? There is no way to exceed the capacity, no matter where the protection if it's hard wired. Voltage may drop, but the current is the same at all points in the circuit. That's the same deal as bussed power distribution to panels. The feeder wires to the panels are protected on the load side, but there's no way for your average Joe to tap in and exceed the current. So, will code allow you to feed 14 ga wire with a 20 amp breaker? The spec on the wire doesn't matter. NEC has its own margins.

The house wiring is fine IF it's done according to code. I'm betting that entire stat comes from bad cords on the heaters. Wear and tear will break the strands in the cords, and the result is heat. There is a point when the heat turns to fire. Can't argue with a real wall heater. That is the safest, and will work better too.

Simply for insurance reasons, that ain't such a good idea. All the 14 wire in my house has a 15 amp breaker in front of it. AFIK, a 20 amp breaker in front of #14 wire would be considered a fire hazard.

Larry's a smart business man too. He gets lots of my money, even though I always buy guns locally (except for the bulk of my AR parts).

So is avoiding Jefferson. I'm guilty.

15A: #14 20A: #12 30A: #10 The breaker protects the wire. AFIK, it's not against code to use #14 wire on a 15A circuit. My house has that on the second floor, and it passed inspection. All the circuits downstairs are 20A, with #12 wire. Damifino why. BTW: When I was wiring houses as a young whipper snapper, we used #12 for ALL wall circuits and lighting feeders. The only time we used #14 was for switch legs. Of course, there are a number of things done these days that we wouldn't do.

Oh HELL no. It's just way more complex than skin color. Here's some more math... I saw four sets of blue lights on a fairly short stretch of Murfreesboro road a few days ago. Great place to get revenue. The ghetto... not so much.

Agreed there could be some voltage drop. That drop will also cause the heater to draw less current as well (E/R=I). Replacing the wire is the same effort as installing another circuit, maybe more.

Lots of math. 0 white folks were within range 99.99% of the inhabitants didn't bust a cap in anybody's ass The area probably has a higher percentage of street thugs than anywhere else in Nashville. A huge percentage of that community lives on the victim side of the equation. I'm absolutely fed up with street thugs. Poverty and ignorance accounts for most of it. Age old debate.

I won't spend my money with a chronic over-blown ego. Too many good shops out there. EDIT: I have exchanged a couple of emails with Larry Potterfield. His tone was that of a respectful, fellow shooter. Within the scope of the gun industry, this guy is a freckle on Larry's butt.

Yeah. Has nothing to do with race, and all to do with culture.

As a gun enthusiast, you probably should. Sure, it's easy to be impressed by the substantial firepower, but that's not all of it. The two most popular types were designed in the '50's. It's some great engineering, and a big part of firearms history. The AR-15 is one of my favorite designs, and not just for mowing down zombies. I have one that's never touched a 30 round mag.

I don't know about Ebow, but my response would have to include the words "cold dead hands".

Uhhh yep

They're a protected species.

She can probably run a TV and Lamp on the same circuit. 1500 watts is 12.5 amps. Adding a 60 watt bulb and a normal TV won't increase it that much. If it's a 15 amp circuit, it should work ok without tripping a breaker. If it's a 20 amp circuit, you will have plenty of headroom.

Just a crazy weekend in the hood

All three on Jefferson.

My money sez an employee had nothing to do with it

I don't use high capacity mags from a rest. I always use 20 round mags, which are shorter than the grip on an AR.

Nah. He just ran off tire kickers and internet stalkers, right?
