Ant-Man already did a hammer Glock

AIUI, over the years some of the Metro PD Academy bosses have tried to save some of them. They retain them as "training aids" to teach new recruits how to properly secure obscure firearms. Sometimes that's legitimate like an AK or a top break revolver. They're not the most common thing the average patrol officer will come across, but some will certainly have to handle one at some point in an arrest. Other times I think someone simply recognizes a valuable, significant, or rare firearm and can't stand to let it rot away or be destroyed like maybe a rare Colt or a Garand. I think they have a Thompson there too. If Metro PD won't/can't return them to their rightful owners, at least someone's getting something useful out of them.

IBTL!

Nah, they're just using S&W's Quality Control team for this one.

That's some pretty funny photoshopping right there.

That's generally how rumors start . . . e.g. I heard that a famous person in Hollywood went to the hospital with gerbils in his anus. I'm not naming names, but does anyone know if that's true?

Just because you didn't name a manufacturer doesn't mean you didn't post a rumor that one may in fact be lobbying for a ban.

Taco Bell was funny, but Little Caesar's killed it! Cracker Barrel was too close to home . . . I've been searching for a specific Colt for months now and "leaving you standing out in the lobby FOREVER while you’re trying to eat there" kind of hurts . . .

Smith & Wesson is the company you're thinking of who's in the process of relocating here but isn't operational yet. Barrett is also here down in Christiana, but I doubt there are many home-brewed .50 BMGs out there eating into their business. Plus their typical customer isn't one who needs to roll-their-own to save a buck.

I remember thinking the plastic ring 6-shooter caps were for the rich kids. $/cap ratio was way worse. Paper rolls were all I ever had.

She is afraid of the dark, the light, and hair.

https://regulations.atf.gov/479-62/2019-06264#479-62-b-2 Section C at the bottom of that page: In the city it's the chief of police. In the county it's the sheriff. The unofficial way to determine it is to ask yourself "If I dialed 911, who would respond?" That's the police agency serving your location and your CLEO is the head of that agency.

Thanks Chip. That's what I was trying to say above. You said it better.

I think threats of the ban hammer, or at least public shaming, have been threatened to anyone reposting K.C.

Is @Chucktshoes actually the Kentucky Conan, all grown up now?

Agreed. Fear is the wrong word. Belief is the right word.

Either way you slice it, the mindset of the defender is always what's in question. At the moment the trigger was pulled, did the defender have reasonable fear of imminent death/serious bodily harm to themselves or others?

Wrong. Use of lethal force always 100% hinges on whether or not you, the defender, had a reasonable belief that death or serious bodily harm is imminent. If someone breaks into your house with you inside, it's presumed they're there to do you harm and it's presumed that's the mindset you're in. It does not guarantee they're there to do you harm or that you think they're there to do you harm. The facts can support or refute the assumption afforded to us in the law. Again, away from home in a place you're legally allowed to be, you have to prove points A, B, and C below. In your residence.dwelling/business/vehicle, those are presumed to exist and the prosecutor has to prove they're not true.

Again, it's important to point out that Castle Doctrine "presumes" a reasonable belief of death or serious bodily harm. The facts can refute that. Castle Doctrine is not a license to kill. In a nutshell: If you were not in your residence/dwelling/business/vehicle you have to prove you were in fear of your life/serious bodily harm. In your residence/dwelling/business/vehicle, under Castle Doctrine the law presumes you were in that state of fear and the prosecutor has to prove you weren't.

But Overhaulin' doesn't have sad guitar music . . .

For the OP, that's terrible advice. Any decent investigator would find this thread and be able to easily show the actual intent of a straw purchase. For anyone else reading this, the advice is still promoting an illegal act. It's only going to work if you and your parents are all going to hold up to police questioning and are all willing to lie under oath and commit perjury to protect you and themselves from a felony strawman gun charge, albeit in the very unlikely chance it would come to that. Or take the much BETTER advice above and be fully legal in one of 3 ways: Wait until you're 21 Buy a handgun from a private party Your parents buy it with THEIR money (not a dime comes from you) and they either gift it to you or allow you to borrow THEIR gun.

No lowballers! I know what I have!

I had the one on the right back in high school and college. I have no idea what happened to it. It was either lost in a move or it's in a box in my storage room waiting to be rediscovered.

Jack's is good. It's not the best in the city (Peg Leg Porker has the best pork and Tex's has the best brisket) but it's a solid choice.
