Franklin is good too.

and there's In other words we'll never know the whole story unless a dashcam was installed and working.

Decide which one's more important, the gun or visiting D.C. You can't legally do both. Go and enjoy the place. Leave the gun at home. The park police do a great job of keeping the tourist areas patrolled. Treat it like any other city and don't be stupid. The murders and things you hear about in DC are not normally in the parts of town a normal tourist would find themselves in. Be smart. Don't ride the subway at 2am and things like that.

Rabid anti-gun group preps canned response. In other news, the Pope is Catholic, Elvis liked fried peanut butter and banana sammiches, and there was a fire in a crappy part of town. News at 11....

If it's scoped, you can take it to any Academy sports to be bore sighted for free (rifle must be cased and declared when entering the store). That will at least put you on paper when you get to the range. Then you'll just need to make small adjustments to dial it in better.

There may be stuff about that. Some homeowners policies have a general liability clause that applies to all of your personal activities (but not if you're running a business) regardless of location. You have to read the policy well to know for sure. If you have questions, talk to your agent and let them know why you want the coverage. They can best advise on what to get.

More fan art awesomeness:

Umbrellas usually start at 1 million and go up from there. Agreed about watching the language on the policy. They're often just add ins to your homeowners or renters policy so the restrictions may be listed in that policy. They kick in after the homeowner policy limits are reached.

Just get a general liability umbrella policy. Then you're covered for other stuff besides a shooting too.

They took a shortcut through the pine forests of northern Illinois/Indiana.....

See?

Before you corrected/changed it, someone else has already loaded the thread. That more or less freezes it to them. They can then click 'Quote'. That captures the original content to their "reply" window. It then took them some time to finish their thoughts and hit 'Post', so you were able to correct/change it...time lapses....they finally hit post. So a long delay in their loading the thread until clicking Quote, or a long delay from then until clicking Post will result in a funny looking time delay.

Almost as cool as Herschel's 100rd shotgun on The Walking Dead.

Did anyone else notice that demolition girl was able to rig the place to blow (and later a whole bridge), but wasn't able to make a grenade-like explosive to lob over the dumpster to get the captain, or the other attackers? Of course if the shooter had done what we all thought, that wouldn't have been necessary. Or the captain sending guys in one at a time to run him out of bullets instead of all at once...a sniper can only shoot so fast and can't repel a commited mob with only 10-20 yards of ground between them. Plus nobody on milita side using suppresive fire, even it is with muzzies. PLus, it's one guy on a roof of a 4-sided building...I guess the captain was never taught about flanking. Tactically, it was dumb on both sides, but keeping the captain alive and the main characters alive let them move the story along by revealing Miles' connection to the militia.

What am I missing here? It sounds like an audit turned up some weak practices in their training and procedures and they are suggesting changes to correct them. If this is about "Why does the IRS have guns? They're going to use them with the 25 bazillion bullets DHS just bought!!! OMGWTFBBQ!!!!1!!", if I was having to go knock on someone's door while running a criminal investigation, I'd be armed and trained too.

According to IMFDB, it's a Remington 700 http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Revolution_(TV_Series)#Sniper_Rifles

I just finished Ep. 3. I suppose I will let the TiVo pick up some more episodes while I wait to hear if it's getting canned or not. IF it's going to make it, I'll probably keep watching. So far it's not making me want more, the way Jericho* did. * A non-cable network show about SHTF that did NOT suck until it got rushed to get canned.

I have a blued Beretta and a stainless Taurus. The finish on the Taurus is good, and the internals are pretty clean, but the Beretta is better. The trigger on the Beretta is a world apart from the Taurus. It's much smoother. The parts also fit a bit tighter. There's a tiny bit more slop to the Taurus. Not enough to affect performance, but if you're really looking close you'd notice. The Beretta is a superior gun. How superior ($$$) is a matter of opinion. Note that the way the safeties behave is different. I don't care about frame (Taurus) vs. slide (Beretta) location, but the Beretta is up for fire, down for safe (which also decocks). The Taurus is up for safe, down for fire, then all the way down for decock. I like that you can be on cocked and locked with the Taurus, but not that you have to pass from safe through fire to get to decock. Besides the obvious safety concern there, I find it more natural when grabbing the gun to flick my thumb up (Beretta) instead of bringing it over the top (Taurus) of the safety lever and down to go from safe to fire. I also hate how Taurus feels the need to emblazon their giant TAURUS logo on their slides.

Since the rebuild, I have not found any postings in the parking lots, roads, doors, or anywhere else except the tiny one at Regal.

You dug up a 2 month old thread to critique someone's grammar? You stay classy, AWM.

That's the way I understand it. Regal cinemas inside the mall is posted with a small gunbuster, but it's not exactly "plainly visible".

Like was said before, it depends on what you want to do with it. If you're a tinkerer and want to get inside it and make tweeks and such, then Android. If you want a smartphone that's easy to use and just plain works, then iPhone. Because of Android's open source OS, you'll find apps that can tweek pretty much every part of the OS and the phone. iPhone is more "locked down" in some areas, which helps keep it more stable because apps can't access certain core parts of the OS.

Agreed. I have both and prefer the real one.

I love my Beretta 92. I put some Hogues on it. Those combined with the heft of the gun soak up the recoil. It's the only non-.22LR handgun that my wife actually likes to shoot. It's also my favorite shooter and seems to have a very natural aim for me. The Italian ones were reportedly harder to find some years ago and sold for a few dollars more. Now I see Italians about as much as I see USA. There's a certain cachet about having an Italian made Beretta due to perceived increased quality, but that's it. I don't think you'll find an actual quality difference between them.

Good choice with the black grips. I love me some 92's. For now, I'm settling with a blued Beretta and a stainless Taurus. The Taurus looks good in the stainless, but it's still not as pretty as the real deal.
