GT DIstributors had a bunch of 226 and 229's with DA/Sa triggers and 3mags for $450 ish a few weeks ago. I think all the 229's were 40's but most of the 226's were 9's.

The first that was mine was my grandfathers old S&W model 10 which was his service weapon until the late 80's.

You are most likely right. A smaller city that I worked in we couldn't take any arrest action against a city ordinance violation. We had a drug case threw out because the only PC was loud music(violating ordinance) and we had a huge problem when we arrested someone for refusing to sign a city ordinance citation and disorderly conduct. When we went to the prosecutor it was explained that we couldn't arrest for city ordinance violations because of the way our city charter was written and apparently most are written the same way. Our city court judge was appointed and not elected, apparently this makes all the difference in the world(even though the cases were going to a sessions court judge).

I really don't know what a city can do if your breaking a city ordinance. Fine you? That is about all they can do.

Yes, Snappers, particularly the old style rear engines are hard to beat for a homeowner. The John Deere's, Husquavarna, and such that you see in box stores are just wearing a name. Just because it is a John Deere don't think your Deere dealer will have or even be able to get parts. Snappers are Snappers around the world. They Re still built with quality and hold up well.

OMG, did you trade even? That is one hell of a handgun. No MIM parts, no lock, and the uncle mikes banana grips.

Jehovah Witnesses since WWII have not opposed war as a whole. JW do have a distrust in government though. A man that was my step-grandfather was a Korean War Veteran and a Jehovah Witness. His family was very supportive of my desision to join the Army. I was stationed in Hawaii with some Jehovah Witnesses that I would talk with, they knew I was Methodist and were respectful of that. The religion has adapted to modern times. They still see adultery, abortion, drugs, tobacco and such as serious sins but the evangelist door to door preechings are seen as dangerous. They still do them but with extreme caution and never alone.

Which ever he will let you get the best deal on. I like Gen4's but others do not.

Large misconception there, I know a lot of Jehovah Witnesses with guns, who are or we're in the military, and in general have a good understanding of what is wrong with this world.

I have seen several of those videos and I assure you that criminals have as well.

I have visited a range in Florida that is useless. Wait three seconds between shots, no holster draw shooting, just shoot paper targets and lay the gun on the bench. It is really boring and really unpractical. It is a county run facility with retired LEO's as RO. PC may get dangerous at times but it's still better.

I would say you are probably pretty well prepared if you have a large stock of fmj/hard cast lead 45acp. This is my biggest concern with a 9mm for shtf scenarios. A fmj 40, 45, 10mm has a pretty good chance of getting the job done. Also if your target is wearing soft body armor you are most likely better off with fmj anyway.

The cheapest indoor range is Fugates in Calhoun but it is about 40min from Chattanooga. Carter's on Hwy 58 is still reasonable. I think he told me nonmembers was like $15/hour.

The officer decides which test will be taken and the suspect can refuse. Normally you just transport the suspect to the ER for the draw. As far as drug impairment after the results are recieved you just have to go to a chart to see what everything is and how much is present. We see mostly in this order pills, pot, and then meth on drug impairement. I really don't know what the allowable limit is in regards to how much consumed but impost are 10x the legal limit so it must not take much to be over. Actually we normally see several drugs present in their system.

And there is no hurry to get a blood sample when most drugs are the reason for impairment.

That's a hot topic, some say it hasn't changed and some say it is an altered process but is still as good. I have not had an issue with any later gen3 or gen4 finishes. The MIM haven't given me issues either, but I suppose one day they may.

Flip a coin. For me it would be the Glock, it shares more parts with its sub and compact counterparts. The smaller brothers also feel more familiar than the sig family.

Not me, I actually tend to hoard a couple calibers but I like having the ability to use many calibers. I like knowing that if things got crazy there is a good chance that almost any ammunition available would be useable (22/22m/32/380/9/40/38/44) I would like a 10mm, the availability of its ammo has kind of surprised me.

He posted this in the handgun section.

Well any Smith and Wesson revolver brings a fair amount. The model 14 is a target model and isnt all that common. Those grips are some of the more desired grips to have on any k frame. It appears to be really clean for around 35 years old which makes it valuable as well.

As long as I have at least 50rds for every pistol I have already tested I feel comfortable, the exception is 40 which is my SHTF caliber and I keep a Minimuim of 1500. Currently 7 different calibers of handguns in the safe.

Assuming it has no box and is as perfect as it looks in the photo, I would say $500 very easily.

Those target grips are worth almost that.

The desire to lower the allowable limit, per say, to .05 probably doesn't have anything to do with drug impairment. A common thing told to stoners is to drink two beers if you plan to drive high so the police will think you are drunk with a low BAC and not high. Those two beers will make you really impaired at only .03. The reason they drink two beers is for when they get on a machine the police will think they are sobering up and they hope the police will not do a blood draw. It is common practice around here to do a blood draw after you find a low/no BAC because there is a great chance there is a trace of drugs in their system.

You know the answer to that, but I can't think of a single one I know in jail for only that. I see a lot of them with revoked license for it though.
