2.ooohhh

Perhaps they are just recognising you as having a SSPD but not actually covering them, is there an explanation somewhere else that possibly states that SSDPs aren't eligble for coverage?

With windows or without? Mine(10) with windows just showed up today and I ordered on the 28th

They shot up 2 different wrong trucks! You would think after the first the order to "be shure of your target before you fire" would have gone out.

  No, it's different for LEO(no residency required and no NICS), and different again for MIL(Residency more lax after PCS but  all still require NICS)       Sales of Firearms to Law Enforcement Officers Section 925(a)(1) of the GCA generally exempts law enforcement agencies from the transportation, shipment, receipt, possession, or importation controls of the GCA when firearms or ammunition are to be used for official agency business. In this regard, law enforcement officers purchasing firearms for official duty need to provide certain documentation. If a law enforcement officer is issued a certification letter on official agency letterhead signed by a person in authority within the agency (other than the person purchasing the firearm) stating that the officer will use the firearm in official duties and that a records check reveals that the purchasing officer has not been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence, then the officer may purchase the firearm for official use. There are no restrictions as to the purchasing officer’s State of residence or agency location. You are not required to prepare a Form 4473 for the transaction or to conduct a NICS Check; however, the disposition to the officer must be entered into your A&D records, and the certification letter from the officer must be retained as part of your required records.   ATF considers the following as persons having authority to certify the eligibility of law enforcement officers: In a city or county police department, the director of 1. public safety or the chief or commissioner of police. In a sheriff’s office, the sheriff.2. In a State police or highway patrol department, the 3. superintendent or the supervisor in charge of the office to which the State officer or employee is assigned. In Federal law enforcement offices, the supervisor 4. in charge of the office to which the Federal officer or employee is assigned. Certification letters may be signed by persons other than those listed above, provided there is a proper delegation of authority. Because individual circumstances vary, FFLs with any questions are encouraged to check with their local ATF field office before accepting certifications letters from other officials.       Sales to Members of the Armed Forces A member of the Armed Forces on active duty is a resident of the State in which his or her permanent duty station is located. However, if a military member maintains a home in one State and has a permanent duty station in a another State to which he or she commutes each day, the military member has two States of residence and may purchase a firearm in either State—and must list both the residence address and permanent duty station in Item 2 on the Form 4473. A military member on active duty must present either a current driver’s license or State identification card from your State, or a copy of the official orders showing the military member’s permanent duty station in your State along with a military photo identification card, an out-of-State driver’s license, or an out-of-State identification card. ATF has determined that you may accept electronic Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders. You are reminded to exercise due diligence to ensure that these electronic orders reflect a PCS, not a temporary move or deployment (TDY) and that the dates of the transfer are identified on the document and are inclusive of the date of the attempted firearm acquisition. You are required to verify the identity of the transferee by examining a valid identification document.

I hope they get him before the LAPD shoots any more innocent bystanders.  :stunned:

  It also allows you to decap and prep cases you pick up at the range that you may not have dies for at the moment. I don't prime cases I don't have dies for, just store them by caliber in case I aquire a gun in that caliber, or as potential trade fodder for cases I do use from friends that reload.

Give me a few days and I'll put together what I used to expain it all to the wife, it's about several hours of lecture video and presentations from here at work. It goes into the healthcare law from all angles, some are actually good, many are bad. As atlas pointed out the status quo wasn't working and something had to change, that's a given. Honestly the insurance companies and healthcare providers should have self regulated to improve both healthcare efficiency and outcomes, they didn't. The patients should have taken personal responsability for their own health and eat relatively healthy and work out, they didn't. I don't agree with many points in the new plan, but I'm glad to see the change I just think it was in the wrong direction.   The disconnect from cost of care to the consumer is what started all of this, the last thing we need to do to fix it is lower the cost of care.  :rant:

I have a Lee decapper die that gets used on all brass back from the range, then they get tumbled in SS, dried, and primed. My sizing dies have the decapping pin removed so as to not remove the primers I've already intsalled into the clean primer pockets. This way by the time the brass gets to a caliber specific die set it is spotless clean.

The mags take up the same room in the cabinet whether loaded or not. Mine are all loaded until I go to the range, which clears up room for more rounds in the ammo cans. They are emptied at the range, brought home, inspected, reloaded, and put back in the cabinet. A couple times a year they all get dissassembled and cleaned inside and out. Here's a group just back from the range, about to get reloaded(3 already loaded for SD) and put back in the cabinet to await the next range trip.

^This! I mainly like that there are very few people crazy enough to set off into the woods when I do so I see few if any people, mostly just wildlife.

please change the title 2nd grader and 2yr old are MUCH different, I was thinking mom or dad planted it in a diaper bag on purpose or something.   Piss poor parenting regardless.

I don't think I've been to an actual commercial theater more than once in the last four years.(Hobbit premier/free tickets) The wife and I are either at the drive-in or in our home theater which I built mainly b/c I love movies but hate commercial theaters.

There are always a bunch of cars that hit the auctions after large natural disasters, I used to work on a late model BMW that was in katrina, had all kinda of strange electrical issues. One day pulled the carpet out to trace wires and literally found a waterline on the sheetmetal behind the pedals. Replaced the entire body harness, and all the control modules under the waterline and it fixed nearly every problem. It also cost the customer over $6k in repairs. Be wary and check the insurance flood car database.

  OS is correct, if you read my post above carefully you'll see I stated "healthcare providers" and if you total "gun deaths" the same way CMS totals center attrubuted deaths you get more deaths b/c they include the out there homicides and accidents.(some are borderline applicable while others are not)     To break down the stats. .    GSW- these are what the stats shoud really break down further into Homicide/attemted homicide, Justifiable Self Defense, and, Neglegent Discharge.   Blunt force trauma- unless they were shot with the gun before they were hit over the head with it these shouldn't be considered firearm deaths.   Asphyxiation- Anyone whos had children knows damn well that at certain ages they put everything in their mouth including that shell casing/bullet that rolled under the couch, a sad accident but not something that gun legislation can ever hope to curb. Luckily they are very few and far between.     The FBI's data is much better collected and presented,(yet still doesent state if a BFT with a gun falls under BFT or the firearm type used as a club) but realistically the number of deaths that would be preventable would be homicides + accidental discharges which is closer to 10,000 per year on average.

I generally like the nato ammo, except for the crimped primer pockets. :/  Ordered some anyway, thanks for the tip!

I can't begin to count the hundreds of ways you could possibly die in the hands of a healthcare provider there are so many different complications possible with the human body. . .   I've only seen 3 CODs that could ever be associated with firearms- gun shot wound, blunt force trauma, and asphyxiation.

Thanks for looking out! I found a great pair on amazon and I have 2 extra cases on backorder from scissorsales.com that I'm planning to flip on scissorbroker when the impending ban gets announced.  :pleased:

And then you would likely have to transfer firearms between the two since they reside in different states.  Sounds like a fun can of worms. :)

depending on caliber a split neck can mean a few things on my bench.   -If it's .223 it gets tossed in the .300blk box   -If it's anything else it goes in the scrap brass bucket.

  I found the feathers too agressive, but YMMV. 

  Start off with a large assortment pack of blades, I've found safety razor blades are kind of like ammo in guns. Different users/razors prefer different blades. Once I found a blade I liked to use in the razor I ordered them in bulk. I also have two razor handles now the one pictured(cheaper) for travel and the one I linked for home.

I put alot of my survival data onto the wife's old kindle, it's much more efficient with battery life (think weeks not days) and leaves more room for stuff that needs the iphone on the iphone.

^THIS   Though I can't say I haven't contemplated leaving one of my 100m ropes and an old harness in the bottom drawer of my desk just in case. . .

  Yep, The problem with even an advanced alarm system is that it is reactionary, it doesn't really do anything until after they break in. Beefing up actual physical security at the doors and windows will usually make them choose another house. (an easier target) Cameras if well selected and placed can often catch glimpses of them casing the house, but don't expect it to magically make it where the police can catch the bad guys just because they have a picture.(they are very short on manpower) The best course of action is to harden the target, and make sure valuables inside are reasonably secure as well to slow them down if they do get in. The thieves in my case didn't get any guns or real "valuables" b/c those were in a hefty safe, just lots of computers, photography gear, and electronics.     Other than the locks and some attention on the windows it didn't take much to drastically increase security at home. All of my TV's are now wall mounted, this both cleans up the look and makes them harder to steal/resell. The computers I use as DVRs, and my server are now in a wall mounted rack with a locking rack door. I purchased a used older lance vending machine cheap and bolted it to the wall and floor in a room downstairs. It's not as secure as my actual safe but works great for easily securing larger items like my photography bag and work laptop bag, and my ammo stash that was taking up too much room in the safe. My spare lead ingots are under the bottom drawers in my toolbox, making it much to heavy to easily move while all locked up. The garage door has no electric opener and is usually locked shut with padlocks when I'm not home, I like to think of it more as a secure removable wall to get my classic cars out on nice days rather than an entry to the home.     The main thing I did after the burglary was open my eyes and change my mindset.    1. Odds are the police aren't going to stop your burgulary, but they will come write a nice report about it.  2.The insurance company will be nice b/c your a customer but will make it a complete PITA to actuaLLY replace all your stuff.(I submitted 60+ pages of documentation over 20 months before I was fully reimbursed) 3.The only person who can determine what your valuables worth protecting are and how secure you want them to be is YOU.

  If I had to guess ATM it would be for possible future actions in North Korea, Pyongyang's skyline comes to mind.
