  1. I think it is done on purpose, if laws were easy to read, lawyers and judges would be less needed. Besides, laws are sometimes written by politicians (or special interest groups) with little to no concept of law.

  2. There shouldn’t be any laws so unclear the average person isn’t sure what it means. If we can write technical manuals for the military to service aircraft at a 6th grade reading level, we can write laws at that level as well.

  3. Kinda off topic but there probably shouldn't be a law so unclear that a judge isn't even sure what it means.

  4. if my insurance company didn't have doctors, nurses, and lawyers on staff trying to figure out how not to cover what I pay them to cover my doctor would have more staff to care for me and spend less time arguing on how to treat my illness.

  5. Free to anybody that needs it. The rods that pushes the primers up are missing, I called RCBS they do not have any parts for them. Maybe somebody on here has one they have some parts for it or something.

  6. The last 2 years during hunting season I've passed up a lot of nice young bucks looking for a really big mature one. But after being told I have stage 3 kidney disease I decided to enjoy this years deer season. I told myself I was going to just go hunt and enjoy life and not worry about anything while in the woods. So today I did just that and harvested this beautiful wide 6 pointer with my CVA Muzzleloader pistol. Hunting isn't always about who can kill the biggest deer. Enjoy the hunt because you never know what life can deal you. P.S the bibs are from my fatter days .

  8. This is a 1972 American Hat Company Larry Mahan series pencil roll Beaver felt grizzly. Larry Mahan was a multi-year world champion rodeo rider. This hat has been through a lot of really good times and bad while on my head over the years. The hat band is a girls macramé belt that I found in the bed of my F100 one morning after a particularly eventful night. I didn't know the girls, by name, so I couldn't return it. As a hat band it prompts fond memories. I found that the pencil roll tended to hold too much water so I cut it off after a few years and shaped the edge with steam and a spoon. The crown has been steamed and shaped in many forms over the years, this is current. Considering all the beer, blood (multi-species), sweat, brown liquor, pee (multi-species), gas, oil, etc. that this hat has been exposed to I don't know whether it is now considered an independent ecosystem or a bio-hazard. The silk liner gave it up many years ago as did the leather sweat band. I have other hats that are perhaps more socially acceptable but this is "The Grizz". I guess it is to me what a blanky is to a kid.

  9. If it was advertised as new Federal ammunition then report it to the State Attorney General as that is false advertising. It falls upon the AG to go after people who falsely advertise.

  10. A friend asked me to install his new DD M4 RIS II FSP. But the rail didn't come with the wrench it was supposed to. Rather than wait for a wrench to arrive, I found a cheap castle nut wrench in my tool drawer that I don't use because I can't put it on torque wrench. It wouldn't fit but I figured it would be easy enough to file it down to fit. That took just a few seconds with the file and it fit good enough. Now I set myself to creating a hole in it for the torque wrench. I started by drilling out a hole with a 7/16" drill bit. Then I used a triangle file to make it square and then work it out to size. I should have taken pictures at each step but I didn't so here are some pictures after I'd been filing for a while. Yeah, my square is crooked but it doesn't really matter. The point was to be able to get it on to the torque wrench. Worked perfectly for getting this barrel nut torqued down. And now I have a wrench for that rail if I ever need it again.

  12. Yeah. There are companies that make remanufactured ammo from range brass. These will have varying headstamps. I expect that’s what you have there. If so, it should be safe to shoot. Tennessee Cartridge Company has a website.

  14. "He also said that even though he was armed with a handgun, he did not intend to shoot Rittenhouse." If a stranger was pointing a gun at me under these circumstances I wouldn't care to try to decipher what his intentions were. He'd be dead meat. There would also be a small "YES!" if I later found out he was a commie.

  16. First time my daughter shot a handgun. She shot one of my S&W Victory 22s and also my Glock 45. I think she did awesome for her first time. She listened and applied the shooting techniques i told her. She only missed once, and that was at the smaller number 2 target area in the upper right. I reckon she stopped this bad guy!

  18. Hate to hear of your illness, hope it works out for you. Nice deer, should be good eating. I have always said "I don't hunt for horns", which usually has me bringing does in. I will take a decent buck, no doubt, but I don't count points until he is down.

  19. I took a closer look at this and there is more wear on the muzzle than I had thought. It is as you see it. Dropping the price to $700 due to the wear. This is bottom dollar.

  21. Looks great. I would be thrilled with that size deer. Hunting on WMA land does not afford me many opportunities at good sized deer, but for the most part, they all eat the same. I like that your pup is photobombing you too. Sorry to hear about the illness. We all need to remember to lighten up and just try to enjoy life.

  28. I don’t like the inability to delete ads. It could be worse; Armslist requires a paid subscription not only to see the ad body, but now you can’t even see the price without logging in. A site with as many data breaches as Armslist has a lot of nerve asking for access to my bank account in order to do business there.

  30. I have about 200 rounds through mine now, no malfunctions whatsovever with a mix of 147 gr lawman, 124 gr winchester, 115 gr federal, and a magazine of hornady xtp 124 gr. The trigger was excellent and seems to be even better now. finish is holding up and internals looked good during a detail clean. Im very pleased with this pistol, so much so that I lucked out and got another one for my oldest son, a consecutive serial number, both 3 digits. I paid a little over msrp, but lifes too short and you cant take it with you. Hes shot and handled my 1911's, my sigs, glocks, cz's, you name it, but he lit up with this one! Its going to be worth it to me when I give it to him!

  33. Used ta wear brimmed hats all the time.. Mostly good straws, but I've got several Akubras. The Akubras are probably the best bang for the buck in a " real " felt hat.. period... Big brim ta little, I love em all. Since I've gotten older, I dont wear the felts much. Just too lazy ta keep up with em, unless the weather is really bad. Got the " real panama fedora " bug ALA Brother " Pappy O'Daniel ". The real panamas are the " real thing " for summer wear if they are well vented.. I like them alot. Dapper leroy...

  37. Nice deer, and I hope the kidney disease is under control. Personally, I prefer to take a doe over a buck every time. The meat's better, in my opinion. I'm originally a west-coaster, and I still have to chuckle at calling a three-pointer a six-point!

  39. When I was a kid in shop class we were given rough cut pieces of steel 1 inch oversize. With a file and a square we had to make a 1" cube all sides being square to each other, that was our finals test. Its amazing what you can do by hand with a little ingenuity.

  43. The media is going to portray gun owners as bad no matter what. I certainly not going to change how I carry because I am concerned about the media. If he was targeted because he was open carrying then others should be able to learn if you attack someone open carrying you have a good chance of dyeing.

  44. Oh come on. There is no way to know that he was targeted because he was open carrying. There were plenty of other guys open carrying that were not targets. I think this guy looked young was by his self at the moment he was attacked by someone that had told him he was going to kill him if he was found alone. I know you guys are against open carrying but that is a reach.

  45. I’m a former backcountry ranger at Rocky Mountain NP and Mesa Verde NP, and on the bear management team at both. Our duty weapon in the early 1990s was a S&W 686, 4” .357mag. We carried the old Black Talon rounds. In 1995 we switched to Sig and we were issued P229 in 9mm or, if we purchased our own -which I did- we could carry P229 in .40, or P220 .45 acp. I chose the P220 with Black Talon rounds. A ranger buddy of mine worked in Alaska. When we had revolvers, Alaska rangers could choose .44 mag S&W and they carried 870 pump 12ga with slugs for the big bears. When we switched to Sig, he chose a P220 in .45. All said, I’m inclined to carry my .357. It’s been on my hip in mid, rain, snow, ice, on foot, horseback, ATV, and I never had a worry about a malfunction. For black bears our orders were , in order: noise, pepper spray, cracker shot, and if none of those worked, 12 ga slug to dispatch the animal. Animal attacks are very rare, but when they happen, they typically happen without warning, so whatever you carry, it should be accessible. You know how the movies show a mountain lion growling to announce its attack? That never happens. In Colorado my concern was always lions. And most bear problems are caused by people who approach the animal too closely, or attempt to feed it-I’ve seen some people take crazy chances for a picture.

  46. I was looking for something like a felt hat but ended up with a cotton version. I call it my dorky old man hat, but I like it. The lack of vents make it too hot for summer but it's great this time of year. https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/redhead-tarp-cloth-hat-for-men

  47. I just did my first form 1 today. I’m going to allow myself to forget about it like I did with the suppressors. Other things in life to do than stress over something I can’t control. Good luck to you guys.
