Respectfully, and in no way condescending or demeaning your thought processes here but your trying to figure out something that happened somewhere else. That you weren't there to observe and question and was posted by the person who was stopped. Is it for the sake of argumentation or curiosity? Any retired or career police officer who'll even allow themselves to be drawn into a fruitless discussion on this is probably going to give a different opinion than another officer. Those opinions will vary by whatever region of the country the officer works, the officers level of education and experience. Yes, there are variables involved in the interpretation process. You've pretty much nitpicked this one to pieces and unless the officer in question jumps in with a response its a dead issue.

I watched the video, observed the improper display violation and what the camera showed of the officer taking the gun away from the rider. The stops really a non issue so I'll set that aside. The riders comments about being eyed by the police are intresting. You come out of a store wearing a helmet probably with a camera on top of it have on riding apparal and go to a preformance sport bike and don't expect to be noticed? Then you mess around with a rear mounted gear bag, put on gloves and such and ride out. How visible the handgun was during all of this would be interesting to know. Unknown to some here motor cycles like in the video are high theft items some makes more so than others, so trained officers pay attention. So yes, the bike and rider garnered attention enough to observe the tag violation. When the gun was noticed and how visible it was is about the only thing that puzzles me. I'm not even going to try and get inside an officers head I know nothing about to try and figure anything else out about the disarming thing. In the end its a one sided video posted from one persons viewpoint and has generated eight pages of comments, some solicited from another forum.

I used to work in a grocery store while in high school circa 1970's and we routinely recieved half sides of beef we hung in avalable walk in cooler space for several days before the bitcher broke them down into varied cuts. It was a much better beef then compaired to now with steaks easily cut with a fork. Sigh. But FWIW it looks like wet-aged beef is a lot easier process and it also tastes much better too.

Apropos of nothing but there certainly seems to be an outgrowth of Walter Mitty Rambo-ish attention seekers in the media of late. Now as to the who and how of the Oath Keepers group(s). Were I involved with such I'd seriously consider distancing myself and finding other entertainments. I fully believe initial intents were good but see it becoming an OC focus group aimed at garnering media(s) negative attention. I'm also skeptical enough to know to be very leery of other agendas involved.

What press should I buy for my brother in law?
TNWNGR replied to MrBrian's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I've owned and used a lot of different reloading presses and overall have most appreciated RCBS with that companies fantastic customer service and warrantry repair. You break it they fix it. But I've also had excellent results with Lee, specifically the Lee Classic Cast Turret Press and Classic Cast Single Stage Press. The prices are great, customer service is great and warranty is equally great. If you break it they'll fix or replace it. -
No bet, their parades either been rained on or is being rained on. Its only my opinion mind you but this wasn't one of the brightest of moves to have made. I've mentioned before here the vicarious liability involved in participating in the voluntary security endeavors. You don't just risk possible legal issues you risk civil litigation. There's no municipal agency umbrella of coverage, its all on you. This means you and your family can lose everything.

It comes down to what feels best for you that you shoot the best. Given the choice between an M&P9 or a 4th gen Glock 17 I'll go with the Glock due to familiarity with the platform.

Well if its a DIY project I'd rent a tractor or bobcat with a posthole digger attachment. Take along a chisel tipped tamping bar to break up troublesome sections and keep on moving. What you really need to find are a couple of teenaged farm boys or football players looking for some pocket money. If you run the tractor/auger and they run the tamping bar and shovel the job will be done in no time.

http://www.gunbroker.com/All/BI.aspx?Keywords=winchester+model+70+super+grade You probably already realize the pre-64 has a different, more Mauser extractor which dangerous game hunters and such preferred. They also had a higher level of fit and finish that was absent for a time in the Winchester product line. If you want one go for it but a good commercial Bruno Mauser will do equally as nicely.

Well you won't use them very long as a club because if your not careful you'll break the frame or slide. I'm not saying it's be easy to do, just saying it can be done.

Hmmm. GI/GO=MG...GIxGO=DG...Any way you look at it its still garbage generated by someone with to much free time on their hands.

I've never had any problems with mine and my former agency uses them for issued patrol rifles with no problems I was aware off.

I have an early MkII HB version and for casual match shooting it's great but it's a bit heavy for a field gun or casual plinker. That's where the early MkI and MkII fixed sight standard barrel Ruger's excelled. One of the 22/45 Lite models might not be such a bad ideal.

If you don't already have an oversized, deep, cast iron skillet then scrape together the money to buy one. I know bersaguy preaches the olive oil method, which I mostly use, unsalted butter is equally fantastic. Its all about getting the pan to the right initial temperature before putting the steak into it.
-
No, it works just fine that way if you have the timing sequence down pat. You can also achieve very nice results with a broiling pan set up the request four or so inches beneath an ovens top burner set to broil. W/O doubt there's a lot of really good ways to cook a steak with the only failure being over cooking or burning the steak.

Of the two selections you've indicated I'd go with the Savage as the one to beat.

Well aside from the grip zone nonsense imprinted on the guns grip I can't offer any significant negatives on the SA Mod2 9mm. I've no desire to sell or trade my XDs9 in order to purchase one though. The bottom line is if you want it buy it.

Don't be discouraged having problems shooting a Glock, its the trigger and the grip angle combination. What your going to have to do is teach yourself how to shoot with a Glock which is doable. Move in to the five yard range and shoot then work your way back to the fifteen yard range. Pay attention to each shots placement until you get well centered groups then speed things up. What your probably going to find is you'll use a different finger pad placement and trigger stroke.

OK. I prefer my steaks med rare but am alright with rare to med, beyond that it loses flavor but to each their own selection. Here's an alternative where you can a moist tender steak a pink as you like it in the center. Pan seared before serving and it's got the perfect texture... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous-vide But still, a good cast iron skillet at the perfect temperature is really hard to beat for a fantastic steak.

I've participated in several different firearms forums but driffed away from the narcissest know it all attitudes of the larger ones. There's no need to name names or point fingers because most of us have wittnesed the above nonsense. FWIW it's not just firearms forums though that have dominanant jerks who are more self important behind the faceless screen of a computer. I will point out the tactical "knowledge" exposed in forums is a lot of combined gamesmanship. IOW consider with due care.

Use Youtube videos to field strip and reassemble the Ruger Mk 1 through 3 pistols and you'll be fine. Use the manual and unless your just naturally gifted you'll end up watching the Youtube videos a few times or taking it to someone who knows what they're doing. Been there done that.

Put a Pierce or like make magazine extension plate on the magazines for the simplest fix. You can also use a grip sleeve for added circumference which might help as well. One thing that will help, but is a permanent alteration is to radius a bit of material out from under the rear of the trigger guard along the front of the front grip. Finally a bit of plastic engineering can produce and extended tang on the upper rear of the grip. https://robarguns.com/custom-weapons/handguns/custom-glocks/ .

Honestly? Leave it alone, its not all that bad. If you want to do some corrosion control put a car paste wax on it and call it a day. I'm all for refinishing a gun when its really necessary but tend to believe a cerntan level of blue wear only defines character.

Well if it's a Model 38 then we're talking about an aluminum alloy frame aren't we? If that's the case than the re-bluing option also means finding someone to reanodize the frame. So if its as rough as you say cerakote might not be to bad of an ideal. But before you do anything have the frame checked for cracks and remember no +p rounds. Now if I'm wrong and its a steel frame than a good hot blued finish done by a master buffer is a thing of beauty.
