If you like playing with cannons, We saw an artillery reenactment crew who were in need of volunteers at the Sequoyah Museum a while back. https://m.facebook.com/BurroughsBattery/ I'm sure there's more units around.

Looks like a break-barrel air rifle.

I've read nothing but good reviews. Opinions vary, but the general consensus is it's a heckuva pistol for the price.

I presume you've already written that check, but I typically don't pay for diagnosis that don't fix the problem. If they tried a bunch of stuff that didn't work, that's on their dime, not mine.

That would be awesome.

Nah, I'd let everyone come shoot on it one weekend.

Yep. Though I wouldn't use it for a guard (or liners) on a knife that would get wet routinely. The aluminum guard pressed against the steel blade sets up a galvanic couple. Add water and you get accelerated corrosion.

That's classified. I could tell you, but....

I have a shield and really like it. The nano is noticeably thicker which hurts concealabiity in my opinion. That's said, a buddy has one and likes it just fine.

@gjohnsoniv made my leather pocket holster. It works quite well.

With no markings, it could be a variety of alloys. None of them are good for making knives. Aluminum can be sharp, but it won't hold an edge at all. It's great for lots of stuff, but bladed tools aren't on the list.

You really expect him to propose spending tax money to remove signs that mean nothing to those who know the law and help make the sheeple feel more comfortable?

Hard to beat the convenience of the pocket pistols.

G10 mades good knife scales, or a handle for most any sort of tool. Does the aluminum plate have any markings?

Welcome!

A life sentence in all likelihood.

I can't recall a statute for that. Most of the "proximity" rules are related to hunting and don't specifically address target shooting. I'd wager if you get buy-in from the local Sheriff, you'll be ok.

Implants ain't cheap.

I had all 4 of mine removed in high school. I went completely under as all 4 were impacted well below the surface. The surgery went fine and they all came out in pieces. The next few days were utterly miserable. It felt like my jaw got pounded with a hammer. They packed all 4 sockets with gauze to help with the bleeding. The blood would clot on the gauze, so changing it pulled the scabs out and made it bleed even more. They eventually healed but it was awful. That said, I'd definitely get it checked out. A friend's mom nearly died from a gum infection. The infection got into her blood and ruined a heart valve. She had open heart surgery to replace the valve because she didn't want to go to the dentist.

Welcome!

Me being me, I built one. It's easy and more fun. Beyond that, no real need to spend big bucks for a name. They're all mostly the same.

I've got chirp but haven't ever taken the time to learn how to use it.

What software do you use?

Most of the areas use trunked or encrypted radio, neither of which I can get on my radio. There's an app for that.... I listen on my phone.

Prayers for you and your family. Those are terrible diseases, hard on everyone involved.
