  1. The facts that are unknown at this time are what happened in between those two actions. The officer didn't have a body cam, so we'll never know as the live stream started after the second action. It's possible we have a racist cop that ignored "lawfully carrying with a license, sir. What are your instructions" and only heard "black dude with a gun OMG!". It's also possible that between action 1 and action 2, the officer told the man to keep his hands where he could see them and keep his hands away from his gun, but the man suddenly and quickly reached his hand to his side anyway. Maybe to get his wallet. Maybe to get his gun. Maybe he had a bad itch he just had to scratch. We'll probably never know the truth. The officer will say the man reached for his gun and he was in fear of his life. The fiancée will say the man was cooperating fully. Without video of the actual and complete stop, we'll never know.
  2. H&R 940 .22LR revolver. Had the main spring and rod replaced. Worked fine for about 100 rounds, and now it's back to sometimes it fires....sometimes it doesn't. Rohm RG-10. Anything from Taurus. I've shot the PT-92 side by side with my Beretta and there's no comparison. For a couple hundred bucks difference, get the real thing. That goes for every Taurus, not just the PT-92. As a range gun, I have no problem with them, but I wouldn't bet my life on the bull.
  3. My dad is a retired USAF chaplain. When we were at Kadena on Okinawa he was assigned to the 909th Air Refueling Squadron. He flew a lot of missions with those guys, including some to gas up the Habu, aka the SR-71 Blackbird. He has some great pictures from those flights. I'll try to get my hands on them, scan them, and post some up here. Of all the pictures he took in all the years around some amazing aircraft, those are still my favorites. Those and the Space Shuttle arriving at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma on the back of the 747. That was pretty cool too.
  4. I'm not sure what it means to the military, but DO NOT Google that.
  5. raildog, did they run out of "H" letters for that road sign? Oh...and you stole my van picture
  6. https://mic.com/articles/86797/8-ways-we-regularly-commit-felonies-without-realizing-it Certainly not a complete list, and some examples are flimsy at best, but it's really not hard to commit a felony these days if an over zealous gubment hack wants to follow the letter of the law. Particularly when it comes to modern technology and decades or centuries old laws. Got a new Corvette? Careful with that Valet mode: http://jalopnik.com/you-can-accidentally-commit-a-felony-with-the-corvette-1639302406 I don't know if any of the 13 states consider it a felony or just a misdemeanor. Depending on state statutes, if you hop on someone else's WiFi without their permission (even if it's unsecured) you're committing an offense that can range from misdemeanor to felony depending on the state and circumstances. Need more?
  7. The facts don't support that. 8 out of 18 tested by LG met or exceeded FBI penetration guidelines. Gold Dots didn't quite reach the min. depth, but they were remarkably consistent in penetration and had excellent expansion, so you might be able to say that 9 out of 18 are capable. Ammo selection in a .380 becomes much more critical than in larger calibers because it's borderline for being acceptable. With the right gun and right ammo, it's perfectly capable. http://www.luckygunner.com/labs/self-defense-ammo-ballistic-tests/#380ACP
  8. Here are a couple of interesting ones from The Great War. A football (soccer) game played in gas masks. 1917 - Germans setting up a radio communications station, powering the generator with a tandem bicycle.
  9. The Big E on the Hudson River passing downtown Manhattan.
  10. Is HAARP still controlling the weather? If so, tell them to turn the heat off.
  11. That would be HCP Program Director Lisa Knight,1150 Foster Avenue Nashville, TN 37243 (615) 251-8590 https://www.tn.gov/safety/article/handgunmain
  12. The only one I know of is in 39-17-1351. One conviction is not disqualifying. I know of no recent changes.
  13. Ah. I understand now.
  14. That was the original bill. But it was amended before being passed. The amendment replaces the entire content of the bill with something else. Here's the amendment: http://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/109/Amend/SA0692.pdf
  15. The most relevant difference is in the buffer tube size. If you have a commercial one, just be sure to get a commercial stock if you ever want to swap it out and try a different one. A mil-spec stock will not fit on a commercial tube, and vice-versa. Many of the major manufacturers of AR furniture offer their stocks in both sizes.
  16. Now that OS has corrected my inability to read, I'd say that if your employer doesn't post and the place gets shot up, you can't sue them (negligence etc. is another matter). Employment rules have no bearing. So whether they prohibit guns or not via employee policies, you can't sue them if they don't post and you get harmed. Translation: This bill is worthless.
  17. The bill was amended. The amendment completely replaced the original bill. The one that passed does the exact opposite of the original and goes into effect July 1st. It protects property owner/operator from all civil liabilities if they don't post, other than in the case of gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct. http://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/109/Amend/SA0692.pdf Edit for correction. Oh Shoot is correct.
  18. Since we're talking fantasy land....I'm going with GAU-8
  19. Yep. Especially if you're on a multi-day trip. Fish caught on day 1 of 3 ain't gonna be so fresh in that $15 Coleman by the time you reach the dock. That said...that's a BIG cooler!
  20. One pant leg up, the other down. She's not LEO, she's in a gang.
  21. If we're talking normal life and for some crazy reason I have to keep just one, Glock 19. For slow TWD zombies or a non-zombie EOTWAWKI, an SBR AR along with a .22 conversion bolt/mag. I was thinking AK, but I think 5.56/.223 ammo would be more plentiful to scavenge. Suppressed would be nice too. For fast WWZ / 28 Days Later zombies, I'm with Caster. Whatever has a short barrel that will fit in my mouth.
  22. Bumping this back up in case anyone missed it. Just a few days left. I snagged a 30, 40, and 65 and a 30 oz twisted tumbler. Thanks for sharing!
  23. A cheap pre-filter may increase the life of the more expensive ZW filters.
  24. Bond Arms makes a pocket .357. Just 2 shots though.
