Two is one and one is none, so . . . I don't see the problem here.

That's only true in the Urban Service district of the county. As a general guide, if the city picks up your trash you're in the Urban Service area. If you pay a private company to do it, you're in the General Service area. Shooting is fine in the General Service area, but these days a lot of that is too crowded to do it safely. But there are still undeveloped/sparsely populated areas esp. in the NW corner of the county where shooting is legal and can be done safely. I know this doesn't apply to the OP, but it may help a future reader.

That would be our illustrious mayor . . .

I was at the last "coldest game on record" Christmas or New Years 2017. 23 degrees at kickoff and that was a night game so it kept getting colder. Hopefully your 20 degrees at kickoff will end up with warmer temps by the end.

Correct, for purchases through Blue Label dealers (like GT Dist.) Not eligible for direct-from-Glock blue label. That requires active or retired LE/Mil creds, active penal-colony creds, or active LE recruit. https://us.glock.com/en/buy/blue-label-program

I'm in the same boat as KahrMan. I've never done one, but aluminum isn't exactly Valerian Steel so I'd think a Dremel with the right guide jig would do just fine.

Probably not. The ruling from the ATF I posted in your other thread is all about "engaged in the business of". But like Dustbuster said, that's a question for a lawyer. Notice that it also includes the use by an individual of the tools used by the person engaged in the business. That part of the rule stems from a CnC shop out in California that was setting up their CnC mills where a customer could come in and put their 80% lower in the machine then the customer would press the button to start the machine and out comes their completed lower. The shop was technically renting out their CnC machines, but the ATF ruling says that's close enough to manufacturing to need and FFL 07. So paying to use someone else's tools also runs afoul of the ruling. The whole 80% lower thing is sticky and getting stickier with each passing ruling. The ATF is doing whatever they can to stop them. Personally, I wouldn't touch one for someone else with a Grinch-sized 39 1/2 foot pole.

Careful on that one. AIUI, whoever does the work is manufacturing a firearm. If you're paying them, they're arguably "in the business of" manufacturing a firearm and need to be an FFL 07. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/ruling/2015-1-manufacturing-and-gunsmithing I'm not a lawyer and didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so do your own research.

Yep. It was a much longer shot. That's why I said be sure to practice longer stuff too, but the odds are that IF any of us (other than LEO) are involved in a shooting, it's going to be under 20 or so feet. I spend most of my practice time for the most likely but include longer stuff when I can for the "just in case".

That's also true of 3-dot, dot-in-basket, dot in ring, laser, or any other sighting system for distances where sights/optics matter. Inside 20 feet any half-decent shooter should be able to point shoot and hit a human-sized target with no sights/optics at all. For distances beyond that we should all be practicing regardless of which system we choose, and practicing those longer shots is a good idea, even if the core of your training stays on the close-range stuff.

She doesn't look plastic to me.

If we're sharing stupid movies, you can't miss Velocipastor

I saw it listed in the upcoming movies part of my AMC app yesterday. Based on the description I knew I was already in. That balls-to-the-wall trailer cinched it for me. I can't wait for Opening Day!

Except that OP has already said he's selling them on behalf of the estate. What goes in the ether stays in the ether.

It's a negligent discharge when holstering/unholstering the gun. It can happen with any gun by a person using poor handling techniques, but It's theoretically more likely to occur in a striker fired pistol than a gun with a manual safety, an SA revolver, or a DA revolver with a 100 lb. trigger. Strikers do have safeties, but not a manually actuated lever to lower a firing pin block or allow the trigger to move as a manual safety gun would have. The person effectively shoots themselves in the leg, the foot, or at least gets a nice powder burn on the thigh and a brown stain in their pants. Since Glocks are by far the most common and well-known striker-fired pistols, it's known as "Glock leg". It's an overblown thing commonly used as a rallying cry by people who like big heavy steel revolvers and 1911s and have an irrational need to hate the plastic fantastics. In the context DocHawk mentioned it with holsterless carry, a striker fired pistol should never be carried with one in the chamber. Personally, I'd say that's true of a DA/SA with a manual safety too without a holster. One cause of this very uncommon issue is something like a shirt tail getting in the way and "pulling" the trigger as the gun is reholstered. Another is the shooter having their finger on the trigger as they draw or reholster. Practicing good trigger discipline and clothing management during your dry fire draw/holster movements with an unloaded gun on a regular basis is a really good way to mitigate the risk, no matter what/how you carry.

Posed for sure, but it could still be era-correct.

$100 Norinco SKS new in the box with the complimentary gallon of cosmoline . . . Shot maybe 20 rounds through it. I sold it several years later for $100 before I actually got into the hobby. I thought I did good to get my money back out of it . . . DOH!

Reminds of the little French Renault FT tanks from WW1

As said above, a 1945 Remington Rand frame with a Colt slide. The barrel is a 1985 chrome-lined replacement. The grips (or at least one of them) are replacement. They don't match. Same style and color, but one is shiny and the other is dull/matte. I see no re-aresenal stamps. The lettering on both the frame and slide are crisp so I'm not sure if either was ever refinished or not. If either was, I'd say the slide more likely than the frame as the Colt patent roll mark isn't quite as crisp as the frame's lettering. It has a few small nicks and some light scratches on the slide, and you can see the discoloration common on these old warhorses. I'm not sure if it's from the holsters or what, but that front 1/3rd of the slide is slightly darker than the rest and I see that on a lot of these. There's also a little holster wear along the high spots, esp. towards the muzzle. Bonus: No idiot scratch from the take down pin! The mag has no marking on the toe and is stamped on the bottom plate with 19200 ASSY 5508694 MFR. 1M291 which I think makes it made in the 1970s-1990s by Checkmate, probably on a government contract since they did make mags for the .Gov and The CMP had this one on hand but obviously not original to this gun. It's very a solid gun with no rust or pitting. I was (like probably all other CMP buyers) hoping for 100% Colt, but I'm pretty happy with this one. Like other CMP guns, it came in a nice heavy duty case Made in the USA.

My Service Grade arrived yesterday. I'll get some pics up soon. Colt slide on a 1945 RR frame.

Do you still have THAT guy's number? I can never find a good drywall guy.
