Awesome. Thanks. Maybe I'll get a II model for the lower volume caliber and a III for the higher volume.* *When I refer to high and low volume rounds, I'm referring to how much I'd LIKE to shoot. Not how much I actually do. sigh.....

Have any bullet casters here used this?  Specifically the Freechex III.  I saw it mentioned over on the 300blktalk forum.  I'm seriously considering buying one in each rifle and magnum handgun caliber I cast for.  Well, when I can afford to, that is.    I'm guessing Dolomite is at least familiar with the tool.     Thanks,   Will   Edit:  Oops, here's a link  http://freechex.net/

Allegedly someone tracked down the bookface page of Little Turd. Doesn't sound like a gun rights activist. Just an idiot. http://bearingarms.com/long-gun-open-carriers-havent-learned-past-mistakes/

Yeah, they're pretty hard-core libertarians. No surprise there.

I hadn't seen a fox since I was very young up until the last few years. I've seen two or three since buying a house here off Alcoa Hwy. Competition from coyotes has kept their population suppressed I suppose.

They're extremely adaptable. Heck, inside a city where there are still squirrels, rats and such to live off of it may be better than a rural area. Less likely to be shot in Tyson Park than in a farmer's field.

Even Harry Reid has been endorsed by the NRA. Don't know their current stance on him. Probably not anymore after last year's big push for a self-loading rifle ban.

And they're not simply carrying rifles. They're carrying rifles slung in front on their tacticool slings like they're in a combat zone. They have to be plants. Perhaps even unwittingly. They look stupid enough for that.

No disagreement. Plus there is a better chance of inducing a malfunction when racking the slide under stress. On the rare occasion that I carry unchambered, I don't feel unarmed, just less armed.

That should be easy. Do the fish have bullet holes? :)

Just to stir the puddin' a bit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeIZa-25RaM It doesn't really take 4-5 seconds to draw,rack and fire. But I'll carry chambered because I may not have two hands available.

I don't think it's a crime to submit an application. App has to be approved before anything is transferred or manufactured. But I expect the ATF will reverse this. Not really worth it probably (to them) to get background checks on trusts but risk making new machine guns legal for trusts.

Oh, it will be tested. From the Princelaw blog... "I will continue to update our viewers, as I have already submitted a Form 1 Application for a minigun…oh hell yeah I did…"

Especially since this would most likely be temporary and they would be very pricey in the future. Quote from the first link: "Because unincorporated trusts are not "persons" under the GCA, a Federal firearms licensee (FFL) cannot transfer firearms to them without complying with the GCA. Thus, when an FFL transfers an NFA firearm to a trustee or other person acting on behalf of a trust, the transfer is made to this person as an individual (i.e., not as a trust). As the trustee or other person acting on behalf of the trust is not the approved transferee under the NFA, 18 U.S.C. 5812, the trustee or other person acting on behalf of a trust must undergo a NICS check. The individual must also be a resident of the same State as the FFL when receiving the firearm. So, ATF, trying to be cute and find a way to require NICS checks without Congressional action, declared trusts not to fit the definition of a "person" under the GCA. No big deal, especially for us in Pennsylvania, as Pennsylvania Instant Check System (PICS) checks are already required for all NFA firearms, except silencers. But, not so quick...let's look at Section 922(o) of the Gun Control Act... Section 922(o) provides: (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), it shall be unlawful for any person to transfer or possess a machinegun. (2) This subsection does not apply with respect to- (A) a transfer to or by, or possession by or under the authority of, the United States or any department or agency thereof or a State, or a department, agency, or political subdivision thereof; or (B) any lawful transfer or lawful possession of a machinegun that was lawfully possessed before the date this subsection takes effect. So, we have a prohibition on any "person" transferring or possessing a machinegun which was not lawfully registered before May 19, 1986. BUT, an unincorporated trust is not a "person" under the GCA, so this provision cannot apply to it. In turning to the National Firearms Act, as amended, 26 U.S.C. 5801, et seq., we find that a "person" is defined as including a trust, pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 7701. Yet, there exists no 922(o)esque provision in Section 5801, et seq. Therefore, pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 5812 and 5822, an unincorporated trust may lawfully transfer and make machineguns, as it is not a "person" for purposes of the GCA and Section 922 only applies to "persons" as defined by the GCA."

I have a 4" model 65. It is a great all-purpose piece. IMO, the 4" is more suited to the .357, but that's just me. :) Bought it for a pittance (in today's terms) back in the early '90s. Has a pinned barrel and recessed chambers. Carried that thing everywhere. It still has hidden home defense duty.

I've seen those billboards. Interesting idea. But I hate the term "prepper" and I detest Sevierville/Pig In Forage, so I won't be there.

That's awesome. I'm looking forward to the movie coming out this month too.

Don't know about the cause without seeing it. Probably what 173rdABN said. But KNS anti-walk pins should fix it.

That's just it. For those who say "lock yourself in a room and call the police when you hear a strange noise", well, if I did that, the police would have stopped responding by now and maybe have arrested me for abusing the 911 system. Sometimes, you actually have to verify whether the noise you hear is an intruder or not. Is that " looking for trouble"? Call it what you want, but I won't sit in my "safe room" waiting for the .gov to come check out the raccoon that is scratching on my window.

WHY did you have to do that? I was fine most of the day. My mother left us in January 2012. Every day I regret every cross word I ever said to her and every time I rolled my eyes when she called my cell phone. Every Christmas when she would put old pictures of my brother and I on the tree and I was embarrassed. Or ANY time I was ever annoyed or embarrassed by her, I realize I was being a punk. It took losing her and having a child of my own to realize that she really did have unconditional love for us.

You're over thinking it. Even open carry won't be noticed by a majority. A handgun that "has a tiny bit of the corner of the slide printing through when I'm standing up right but you have to be at exactly the right angle in front of me to see it" will not be noticed. As long as you're not completely obvious*, don't worry about. If I may, here's a bit of advice. Since youre moving here, try to stop thinking like a chicagoan and try to start thinking like a Tennessean. This a free state. * Here's an anecdote that I've shared here before. I was working in the Smokies. A chicago cop came to camp in the campground where I worked. He was wearing a fanny pack that quite obviously carried a handgun. I asked what he was carrying. Being a gun nut, I just wanted to talk guns. But all the blood drained from face and his wife started going off about how she told him not to carry that. It took me a while to figure out that he probably thought his life was ruined by being "made". See, HE was thinking like a chicagoan, where, had the roles been reversed, I would have spent quite a while in prison. But being a native Tennessean, I didn't even bother calling LE. (it was still not lawful, even for an out-of-state cop, to carry in the park.) Even if I had, they would have simply told him to keep it unloaded, just the same as anyone else. I apologize for the tangent. I understand that you're simply trying to stay within the law, and that's fine. But our laws aren't nearly as bad as in IL. Open carry is legal, so printing isn't a big deal. How does that line from an old movie go? " You must assimilate"?

I read the article about that one a couple years ago. The builder is very talented. The receiver is made from the shovel blade.

I just meant that the BATFE would probably revoke (or not issue) an FFL to a company who dared to do that. I don't think they tend to respect states rights.

If you must get one or the other, I'd go with the Kel-tec. I bet you'll have a hard time finding spare parts for the Llama. Even magazines.

I think that is already addressed with firearms like the Broomhandle Mauser (C96, right?) which sometimes came with a holster that doubled as a shoulder stock and sometimes was automatic. If I remember correctly, antique short barreled rifles or AOWs are exempt from NFA regs. Autos are still regulated, but more loosely than modern weapons. That's what my non-expert memory recalls anyway. Been a while, though. Edit: gewehr beat me to it and is most likely more familiar with the NFA laws.
