  Well, I respect your opinion over most law enforcement officials or judges since you seem to be able to understand what the law actually says.  And you don't try to add  to or ignore what is written into the law.  Unlike even some Supreme Court "justices", who base their legal opinion on their emotional or ideological biases or laws of other countries.   It is unfortunate that you would not be the one arresting or prosecuting or convicting...

I would have called the cops, but I wouldn't have shot the guy. Would be nice to see some tourons spend the night in jail for their dumbarsery. I've witnessed a group drag their KIDS across 441 in Pigeon Forge causing traffic in every lane to slam on their brakes. No, not at a light or even a crosswalk. I regret not stopping in the median and calling the PD for putting their children in danger. I hate that place and I despise tourons.

It has a firing pin spring? Is that a 9mm AR thing?

When did they start making the bolt black? Oh btw. I don't usually say this to a guy, but that's some nice wood.

If you can't wait for a gun show, here is the best deal I can find. http://store.brassmanbrass.com/servlet/-strse-1218/%28BULh6%29-30-Cal--dsh-/Detail 17.5 cents apiece. I'm going to have to start casting regularly again. This is just getting silly.

Just checked Flixster and they are showing it playing 5 times a day at the Pinnacle. It's also at Downtown West. That may be new for today.

I've flown there and driven there. I'd rather drive.

Just to pick a nit, that was a 45-110. And I wanted one sooo bad back in the day. As for the OP, I'd get a basic, quality AR, a full size 9mm handgun with a decent capacity and a bunch of mags for them. Want to go long range like Quigley? An AR-10 style in .260 Rem. would be the modern version. Edit: oops. Just saw that you have an M&P 9. Then, of course, you need a .45!

So many favorite movies... Patriotic: Red Dawn (the original) Last of the Mohicans ( the Daniel Day-Lewis version) Braveheart Comedy: The 40 Year Old Virgin Paul Blart: Mall Cop (based on a true story) Epic: The Lord of the Rings trilogy But my all time favorite movie series... Harry Potter. Yep, seriously. Read the books. I'm convinced that J. K. Rowling has a libertarian spirit.

"Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun. "

And therein lies one problem (of many). Driving is treated as more of a right than owning a firearm. Even when licenses are suspended or revoked, it's usually only temporary. Not directed at you, btw, tnhawk. But if someone is too dangerous to own a gun, they shouldn't be outside of a prison, let alone driving around an even more lethal weapon.

AMC has been running a Walking Dead marathon this weekend. Not sure why, the next season doesn't start until October, does it? Haven't been watching. It's one of those shows that I want to only watch once. For the most part.

Wow! I've annealed case necks, but not in as fancy a way as that. That's schweet.

Can't help you with the CMT, but I have built a couple Grendels. Be aware, forming brass from 7.62x39 is the only time that I have genuinely NEEDED to use the forward assist. Of course if you're just using factory ammo or brass, this shouldn't be an issue.

Well, if you're REALLY packing you should be proud of it. Just whip it out and show him what you got!

I appreciate the offer.  I was being lazy and hoping to find some to buy.  :)     I think I have a mold, but I can't remember if it's .32 or .36 caliber.  Most likely .36 because I used to shoot cap-and-ball revolvers.   You use .330" dia. buck?  I may take you up on the offer.  I've been wanting to play around with some light plinker loads for 7.62x39 and .300 BLK.   Thanks,   Will

  Yep.  It's a round whose "bark" is almost as bad as its bite.     My Dad tried to take his HCP course with a CZ-52.  They stopped him in the middle of his shooting portion because he was making holes in the backstop.  He was using surplus ammo.  He finished the class with a rented Ruger .22.

  BTW, Dolomite, where do you get your buckshot?  Is it local or do you order it.   I used to buy shot from Sports Unlimited, but they are loooong gone.  Haven't bought any in many years.

I built a .300 Blackout pistol (and eventually a 7.62x40 Wilson Tactical) for the same reason I have a 6.5 Grendel.  I can make my cases from common rounds and cast my own boolits and not worry about whether the cartridge is popular or supported or not.   I don't really care if what I choose is popular and available.  As long as I have stocked up on what I need to make that round.  For both the .300 Blk and 7.62x40, I have plenty of 5.56 brass.  For my 6.5G, I have formed plenty from brass 7.62x39.  I can also use steel cases, but won't get the case capacity and velocity.     I have not bought a single factory loaded round of either one and probably will not.    Ballistically, I like the .300 Blk because it is efficient in a short, pistol barrel.  But it isn't a long-range round.     I glommed on to the 6.5G because it has the best long range ballistics available in the AR-15 style rifle.  But it isn't efficient in a short barrel.   5.56 is a fair all-around round, but it isn't what I prefer for long-range, and it isn't as efficient in a short barrel.     As an aside, my current home defense rifle is a 16" AR-style carbine in 5.56 with varmint bullets.   For long-term, or my "forever" round, as Dolomite stated above, I have chosen two (maybe three) rounds.  The .300 Blk (or 7.62 WT) and the 6.5G.  Because I don't need to concern myself with factory ammo.  I can make my own.  

If I were king of the world, I'd do away with background checks and the 4473. Then anyone who is legally ineligible to purchase a firearm would have it noted on their driver license or other state ID. Perhaps a different background color. Just like under-21 drivers used to have. (Is that still the case?) So I go into a gun dealer's shop. I show him my ID, give him my money and walk out with my gun. Almost as if it were 1967. It's a pipe dream, of course.

Shut yo mouf! The zombies are coming. Any day now.

We gain our rights back the same way they were infringed. By incrementalism. As for the John Harris comments, in addition to what OS said, some of those points aren't really relevant. Yes, you can still be fired for having a firearm in your car in an employer's parking lot. You can also be fired for driving a yellow Prius. (And quite honestly, should be) Nothing changed for the worse. Only for the better. Had this law been in place in the years before I got my permit, I wouldn't have been driving around in violation.

  Hope the new law doesn't affect you negatively.  Is Claritin (or its generic) covered by the new anti-meth law?  I really don't know.  One of the news blurbs about the pseudo-ephedrine law had a pic of Claritin.   

  Well, let's hope so, fer Pete's sake.  Otherwise, they're trynna keep me outta er'where.  I get my baby's food from Tarjhay...  sometimes.   You can have my chainsaw when you pry it from my cold, dead, partially fingerless hands!

You get the Run-On Sentence Award today! Congratulations!
