      modernizing the 2A.

      None taken. After reading the Flag thread I fully expected most responses to beat me down. Most of you have much more experience with guns and life than I do. I'm still young and learning. Much of what I posted was spur of the moment thoughts I hadn't fully thought through. I still think a 27...

      modernizing the 2A.

      Pointless semantics. Guns are a form or arms, therefore, 2A says we can have guns.

      modernizing the 2A.

      1) If the person is capable of operating and understanding the gun, then I don't see a problem. If they are mentally incapable of understanding the consequences of using a gun, then they shouldn't. I'm not sure about suicidal people. Sometimes there's a traumatic event that emotionally destroys...

      modernizing the 2A.

      So the 2A says anyone can own a gun. But is that really a good thing? The country has changed a lot in the last 221 years. My reasoning for this post is b/c I see so many interpretations of the constitution and how it applies to modern day. We have things the founding fathers never could have...

      FBI, new barrel, what happens...

      My G26 has 4 distinct serial numbers, that I've seen. Slide, barrel, frame, and the important one. They're all unique. I'm sure most guns are this way. Most manufactured items are. Helps them isolate manufacturing problems when stuff starts breaking in the field.

      Pay down debt or ???

      I just bought a house w/ a 3.875% 30yr loan. We put the minimum down since it made such a minuscule difference to the big picture. I used an Excel spreadsheet to calculate a quicker payoff plan that we could afford comfortably. End result, our 360 payments are reduced to 256. We save 15% on the...

      What is this flag, and why is it flown above Old Glory?

      Obviously they are proud of their Mexican heritage, and their country of residency. Or its a secret message. The mehicans now have a flag to symbolize their rebellion. Better do seismic scans to check for an underground donkey road. This may be a safe house.

      Pay special attention to .380 vs. 9mm ammo while shooting

      I loaded 9mm Luger in a M&P.40. It was my friend's dad's gun. Luckily I noticed I was loading round noses where flat noses should be going.

      FBI, new barrel, what happens...

      Ok. This is making sense. I didn't think the casings were useful for anything except determining gun caliber, or maybe matching powder residue if anybody has/uses that technology. I thought the bullets were recovered and saved for govt records of some kind. *edit after reading more posts I...

      FBI, new barrel, what happens...

      Yeah, the two spent cases. The envelope has a stamp with the date, employee, FFL #, rifling description, and a couple other lines of info.

      FBI, new barrel, what happens...

      A few people told me the 2 test shots fired by Glock were sent to feds. I believed it since more than one person told me the same thing. Never cared enough to look into it myself. I take it those test shots are just to make sure the gun works then, which is what I thought beforehand.

      FBI, new barrel, what happens...

      The FBI (?) has record of the bullet markings that came out of my factory bbl. What happens if I put in a LWD, KKM, SL, etc... bbl in its place? Do bbl makers also fire sample shots and record who they are sent to?

      Any Jeepers in here?

      100_0676 by mike.dippert, on Flickr That's mine 4 years ago. It hasn't changed a whole lot. New bumpers and working on replacing the craptastic Rubicon Express suspension with Currie parts. I think I've seen a few of you around Columbus. I know I've seen XD's XJ. I have this on my spare tire...

      show us what knife you EDC to defend your self with

      I keep a black Kershaw leek on me at all times. Bought it at Walmart for $50. Nice and thin so it fits in the mini pocket in jeans. The blade tip is very acute & thin, I'm thinking about getting a tonto blade for durability and practicality. Several years ago my wife got me an engraved folding...

      Bank carry

      I don't think 5/3 in Columbus has any traps, on nice days they prop the doors open. I haven't seen any signs about prohibited anything. I don't think the main Centra branch has anything either. Columbus isn't exactly known for bank robberies though. The meth addicts are small time crooks...

      Keeping a gun in your car....

      Thanks for the tip! I got to thinking about it last night, and found a website that sells replacement keys for common office locks. Mine happens to have a code, so I ordered one last night for $7. Good thing too, I need some kind of tool to pull the lock out of the cabinet. It's fully encased in...

      Walgreens

      With how slimy lawyers have become, this doesn't surprise me at all. CVS will terminate for self defense, or taking any action that can be twisted to be considered an attack. Even asked the regional LP guy about it. He would be involved in the termination decision.

      Best bullet weight for 9 MM

      No personal experience, but the books I've read say 124gr supersonic loads work best from an expansion point of view. I've also read reloading defense rounds for carry use (verus range practice) is iffy. If you end up in court, and GSR is important to your case, your 'custom' loads won't be...

      Keeping a gun in your car....

      What's INGO'S opinion on vehicular storage when my body goes somewhere my gun can't (i.e. Govt building, school property)? Also at work maybe, but that's voluntary, I think. I sit for 8-10 hours 5-6 days a week. For my body's sake, I have a 'form fitting' chair that would make waist carry very...
