Do the feed lips expand on Pmags when they're left fully loaded for a long time? I know I've read that somewhere. That could cause the mags to be difficult to seat.

A gun without a round in the chamber is an expensive hammer. Use a proper holster that covers the trigger and you have nothing to worry about.

Indeed. I'd sit that one out.

Not too sure about that drill where folks are shooting 90 deg to each other and then swapping positions with muzzles up. What's the story there?

Sounds like you've answered your question correctly. Best of my knowledge, the law does not require that you inform the property owner. However, if the property owner asks that you not bring it and you do anyway, that is a violation.

Think about the scenario of rescue workers pounding on your door at 1am. No injuries reported so far, good news.

Wow. And think about how long the male cop had his back turned.

Wow. Talk about the magic bullet... Good thing it didn't hit your hand, I bet that would've hurt.

Oil level sight glass on the bike? Nice fix. Did it leak much oil out?

Good grief. I can understand muttering a few choice words under one's breath, but a full on tirade? In front of (my) kids? Um, no.

SKS all day long.

Not too far from me, though thankfully we're still home. It's closer to my in-laws, haven't heard from them yet. Work is closed today. For us, a 24-48 hr evac would be more inconvenient than anything else. The evacuation area is relatively small. Ground and water contamination is going be an issue in the immediate vicinity.

What cz and Spots said... It shouldn't need to be running, just have a good battery.  And there's (almost) always some sort of manual shifter release for when there's no electrical power.    Else just drag it with a truck or tractor.

Thanks for the explanations.          Yep.  That's what happens when a game becomes a sport.        Walk throughs are one thing I've never really understood about IDPA.  If the whole idea is to improve your defensive pistol skills, doesn't a walk through largely defeat the purpose?  If you don't see and consequently don't neutralize a target, aren't you dead?  I understand there are guns involved and you can't just let people run around all willy nilly, but it seems like giving the shooters the number of targets and rounds they're expected to fire is way too much information. 

I scored 30 +/- 2 depending on interpretation. Guess it was nice knowing you guys.

Forgive my ignorance...   is there money on the line at these matches?  If so, how much?  I can't find any reference to prize money even at the national championship, but perhaps my google-fu is broken. 

I used the video's OS posted when I built my first one.  The detents WILL go flying, so be ready for that.  I put the disconnector spring in upside down.  Took it back apart 3 time before I figured that out.  I also put the selector detent in upside down and it took a bit to figure out why the safety didn't feel right. 

Sounds like he's in good hands.  Holler if you need some help.

I'm also a lefty and can do lots of things right handed.  I carry a Kershaw flipper in my right back pocket all the time.  The Kershaw is cheap, gets razor sharp, holds the edge well, I like the assisted opening, and I'm not out $100+ if I lose it.    When the mood suits me, I'll carry my TGO Runt4 in my left front pocket. It's a killer knife, but it wasn't cheap and I am so I really don't want anything to happen to it.    When wardrobe appropriate, I carry a moderately sized fixed blade on the left side of my belt. 

We've got one round of green beans and snap peas and pulled the plants up.    The cherry tomato is producing and the Cherokee purple has a couple ripe fruit.  The other tomatoes aren't there yet.    We've gotten a bunch of zucchini.... more than we expected as 2 of the plants were supposed to be cucumbers.    Cucumbers V3.0 appear to be doing well but have a ways to go before we get any to eat.    The okra is coming along, but those will also be a while yet.    The carrots are taking forever.  The plants look healthy but the carrots are still tiny.    The bell peppers are doing well, except for the one my son smashed yesterday.    The jalapeno is also doing well, haven't tried a pepper yet to see how hot they are. 

Relax. Being all fidgety making sure your gun is concealed is a dead giveaway and makes people suspicious. Here's a good summary of the laws... http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/tennessee.pdf

    According to this they'll be gone in a few months.  Fill in the hole this winter and they shouldn't be back.   You might also see if there's a local bee keeper's association.  They might have some advice.          http://www.honeybeesuite.com/how-to-move-a-bumble-bee-nest-2/   http://www.buzzaboutbees.net/bee-nest-removal-bumblebee.html

    They snack on pets and small livestock, packs can take down cattle.  They're known to attack unattended children.  They can spread diseases.  They breed prolifically amongst themselves and with dogs.  They have no natural predators (wolves) here so they can decimate other game species (deer, turkeys, pheasant, ...).    I'm fine with them out west where nature helps keep their numbers in check.  It's a whole different game here. 

Female carpenter bees and bumblebees can sting, however it takes real effort to piss them off enough for them to do so.    They're both quite important in the grand scheme of pollinating all sorts of plants.  There's no reason to kill bumblees at all, and carpenter bees only if they're boring holes in something of value.
