Glenn and tnguy illustrate my point. The lawmakers are showcasing their ignorance by restricting the manufacturing method. If it's already illegal to own an undetectible gun, then legistating against one specific manufacturing process to produce something thats already illegal is exceedingly stupid. But I guess that shouldn't surprise me.

It's your gun to do with as you please, but I guess I don't see the point. You've stated that it's a bear as a 380, anything more powerful is just going to be worse. I view a derringer as a "get off me" gun at best and I see little advantage in moving up to 9mm.

That's a nearly 60% increase in pressure/stress. That sounds like a lot, but one could assume the gun was originally designed with a safety factor of at least 4. Calculating the stress is pretty straightforward, you just need the geometry. That said, I doubt you'll find a smith that'll do t because of the liability. You do realize that the .380, 9mm, and .38sp are all the same diameter, right?

Point taken. But 3D printing isn't limited to plastic. Does this mean it would be illegal for a firearm manufacturer to invest in 3D printing technology? So it's ok to start with a block of metal and make a pile of chips, but the reverse is illegal?

Gunny's in Maryville has a couple indoor lanes where you can shoot rifles. I think Farnsworth's in vonore does as well. Anyone know if the new range at Frontier allows rifles?

You're talking about the blue/purple spray foam stuff they use on the DIY channel all the time? If so, I'm sure there's a pro around with the equipment. It's not exactly cheap, but it works great. Be sure you've got a vapor barrier under it.

You guys should ride motocycles... I've had 3 fairly large does run out in front of me in the last week.

How can they do that? It's perfectly legal to manufacture your own firearm. Using a lathe and a mill is ok, but a 3D printer isn't??

I have first hand experience with how much head wounds bleed. I assumed that a head shot would shut down the central nervous system instantly. Just the fact that the shots occur off camera and 2 seconds later there's bodies in pools of blood seems suspicious to me.

Bummer. Did you clean it first?

Truth.

Been there, done that, what they said. A fair price for a vehicle with a clear title and a fair price for one with a salvage title are quite different. He tried to pull a fast one and failed. That's all that happened.

I find stuff like this both inspiring and depressing. It's inspiring in that kids dig music like this. It's depressing in that I really wish I'd started playing guitar when I was a kid and actually had time to learn it. I found the bass player and drummer quite impressive. The girl singing is really good but she needs to grow some angst... that angelic voice just doesn't quite fit.

I'm digging this.... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4qhxvnMDf2E

That's just a molding flaw. The halves of the die didn't seat properly. No biggie.

Faked? That's an awful lot of blood for only a couple seconds.

    Thanks much for the notice.... I missed the last one due to bad timing.  Merry Christmas to my wife!  ;)

What they said. If there's something wrong, then why not.... they're your rifles so do what you want with them.

Interesting that this isn't the first time. I'd like for one of our resident LEO's or law experts to weigh in on the legality of the road block. Honestly, I'd probably stop but tell them to pound sand when I learned what they were up to. I'd also probably call 911 to report/verify what they were doing.

    The article/video said they were "federal contractors", not local cops.  I'm not sure about the legality of "contractors" setting up road blocks. 

Check this out...    http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/North-Texas-Drivers-Stopped-at-Roadblock-Asked-for-Saliva-Blood-232438621.html   They're preying on the fact that most people are ignorant of the law and their rights, and are intimidated by a guy in uniform with a gun. Their claim that its voluntary is their legal "get out of jail free card" and they know few people will have the knowledge and cojones to tell them to f-off.    

If you're a parent, I dare you to watch this and not get at least a little teary...   I did.   While they didn't seem that way at the time, it makes the difficulties we encountered with our little ones seem trivial.    http://vimeo.com/78393869       In a season of Thanksgiving, sometimes we have a lot more to be thankful for than we realize.

Regarding adjustment of outdoor motion lights... If you crank the sensitivity up, a windy night will have them coming on regularly. Make sure that won't be too annoying.

HA!
