Wow! That has almost doubled in value in 55 years!

The associate producer took a plea deal. He's just as culpable as Baldwin and the armorer* but only the first to squeal gets the deal. * If what the armorer's attorneys say is true, she may very well be found not-guilty.

The guy on the right is yelling "Soooorrrry!"

Stop! You guys are making my Hungary!

Yep. If you're not well -stocked then set your strike price in your mind and keep a watch on it. When your caliber(s) hit that price, load up.

I guess that was when one cop said to put his hands behind his back while another cop had him in a wrist lock. You know . . .that chance . . :smh: [/sarcasm]

It does. It's just washed out in the overexposure. The guy's fingers are wrapped around it.

@Hozzie You could add ~10 minutes to your drive and take OHB through Brentwood towards Bellevue, then back in towards town on Hwy 100/70S or Hwy 70. That avoids most of Nashville altogether and stays in the areas less prone to protests. Then if it turns out to be a big nothing-burger, take your regular route home.

What's "radio"?

From the article . . . emphasis mine Because when you're tangling with a mountain lion a plain old Judge just won't do. You need to show him you mean business with "presentation-grade wood grips, a brushed hand-applied satin-stainless steel finish".

In the old Harding Mall in Nashville before its demise, there was a Weight Watchers literally between a Blimpie's Subs and a Baskin Robbins. I have no idea who was there first, but someone was a genius.

I'm not saying I'll get kidnapped by a dude in a dress and a 3-day beard, but if it happens, this is how.

This has me wondering about other movie stunts that are inherently dangerous. If actor A throws actor B off a roof as part of the script and the safety harness or crash bag fails, would we be talking about how actor A is responsible? A stunt coordinator was supposed to setup the equipment properly. Why would we expect actor A to be knowledgeable about inspecting the safety gear? That's what the stunt coordinator is for. Or if actor A is handed a real knife instead of a collapsible prop knife and stabs actor B. Is actor A supposed to check the knife to be sure the spring works? Again, someone upstream is supposed to be getting all that stuff right so the actor can, you know, "act". Other than having different procedures for a gun vs. a prop knife vs. a fall harness, what makes an accidental shooting different from an accidental stabbing or fall for the actor? I get the negligence issues for the armorer and producer (and whoever brought the live ammo onto the set). Yeah, we all here on TGO know the proper safety steps with a firearm, but in that sense we're closer to being the stunt coordinators/armorers than we are being the actors. It seems that as an actor it's a stretch to charge him. In that situation, even if someone hands him a revolver on a set and says "cold gun" AND he checks it and see shells in the cylinders, I can see where he might still think they're dummy rounds so the gun doesn't look empty. The cylinders need to have "bullets" in them or we'd be the first ones pointing at the screen saying "stupid liberal! his gun's empty!" He may not have the gun knowledge to make that determination and as an actor he shouldn't be expected to.

That'll teach me to listen to the "legal experts" on the morning news shows.

In New Mexico a conviction on Involuntary Manslaughter carries the penalty of 0 days to 18 months in jail. Even if convicted by a jury, it's possible the judge will release him with time served, or he/she could stick him with the full 18 months. Either way, it would make him a convicted felon. He shouldn't pick up a gun for the rest of his life, but I doubt the BATFE would go after him if he's seen in a future movie with a gun in his hand.

Here's a bump and reminder. . . If you're not a PAID member of the TFA, you should be. As evidenced by this thread, we have no one working harder on our behalf than John Harris at TFA. Support him as much as you can. My membership just expired and I'm on my way to renew it now.

Sure, you can give me $45 for it. For all others, the probably-soon-to-be-obsolete "ATF Compliant" logo is free.

With near certainty, "yes". Contact your local Sheriff to know for sure: Lauderdale Co. Sheriff - Steve Sanders (635-1311) or (221-3400)

Last winter I read an article where folks were stuck in their cars on a frozen Interstate for a day or so. The gas-burners were in real trouble and people were having to walk a ways. A guy in a Tesla was A-OK. Not so much because battery > gas, but because he started his relatively short trip with a fully charged battery because he always charges it up at home. Lots of the gas cars didn't start out full. That's not to say this is always the case for all people, but always starting your day with a full "tank" is a pretty nice thing to do. The article also brought up the fumes from the gasoline cars. Our cars are not air tight and all those cars sitting still and idling for hours is a concern. all that exhaust pools around the cars. Normally it's fine because we're all moving, but in an hours/days long standstill it can be an issue. I'd like to have one as a commuter car, but not as my only car. That's true of a gas or diesel truck too. The difference is that a full gas/diesel tank has a longer range than a fully charged F-150 EV battery, and refilling is a lot more convenient and faster.

Excellent. Good info.
