I’ve never been to any library in Virginia. To be fair, the Library of Alexandria doesn’t really exist anymore but the point still stands.

Yeah, but what you do know would be the size of Alexandria.

Wait...you didn't know something?

Wisconsin company decides to buy firearms for every employee

Wonder if they accept out of state employees:) Web design? Photographic services? -

Glock 19 Holster Discussions
GlockSpock replied to GlockSpock's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Look at this everyone... http://furycarrysolutions.com/concealment-series-holster/ Found these guys by accident. Went into Cleveland Shooting Sports/Volunteer Ordnance Works. They had a lot of their products on the shelf, sadly nothing for the Glock 19 w/ TLR-7 Combo. But Fury's website does! I get the Squared Away Customs holster today. I'll check it out when I get home. However, I think in a few weeks I'll go ahead and order from Fury, it looks like a near Phantom copy. But...maybe I'll love the Squared Away Zulu and won't need another. I'm going to give it a legitimate try. -
Who cares. You’re high tech now remember? It all does it for you;)

ATF prosecution for pistol as SBR
GlockSpock replied to White Goodman's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
But the way I read it, we could do away with the NFA entirely simply by never educating the next generation about it. They couldn't be convinced the first time if they didn't know it was illegal. That is...an interesting precedent. -

Really, this seems like a good case for gun owners overall. Bad example of a defendant, maybe. -
$119.99 Mosin with pictures!
GlockSpock replied to ironsniper1's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
All of these pictures sadden me. To be honest, I would have probably just abandoned it. I remember what these sold for, and they were nearly like new at $79.99. However, you seem enthusiastic and committed, so I really, really hope you continue with this project and come up with something good. -
ATF prosecution for pistol as SBR
GlockSpock replied to White Goodman's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
But...that could also be done inversely to a certain extent. What happens if the ATF shows the jury 5 different short barreled AR-15's with different stock options on them. Then shows the jury a "pistol" with a brace such as the ones from SB Tactical (would be the defendant's firearm, what they were on trial for). The ATF is able to show how functionally, it can be used as a stock. Then, "If these 5 stocks to the right constitute a short barreled rifle and require a tax stamp, why is it that the defendant thinks he can use this "brace" as a stock in lieu of paying his tax?". It is absurd, and shows the absurdity of why short barreled rifles should be non-NFA, but it is the law. Personally, I think the ATF screwed up when they started allowing these not-a-stock-but-can-be-used-as-a-stock braces in the first place. I am 100% against the NFA in concept, but I do respect that they are laws that have to be followed. And I fully admit that most of these "braces" are in spirit a violation of the NFA. -
Dang. Good job. He got me, saying he had a P-01. I think it was via PM but maybe he responded to my thread, I don't remember. I barely paid attention when I saw that he was in Texas. I didn't immediately think spammer/scammer, but glad you caught him when you did.

Sad that these are no longer cheap and plentiful. I had an M44 about 8 years ago. Paid I think $140 or so for it. It was in great condition, and a blast to shoot. Wish I had kept it. -

GlockSpock replied to White Goodman's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I for one am 100% against the NFA as a whole, but also concede 100% that the majority of "braces" are specifically designed to skirt around the letter of the law. Functionally speaking, they are against the spirit of the law. However, if they are indeed carefully crafted to "not be a stock but can be used as a stock", then they should be legal. Options if the ATF doesn't like it? Get legislation changed to specify them as SBR's instead of pistols. If I recall (and trust me, I did a lot of research on this), those letters typically claim to only be relevant to the person the letter is addressed to. Example, @Erik88 asks ATF if shouldering brace is ok, they tell him yes. However, that letter species it is only good for him. I could make a copy of the letter, but that letter really doesn't affect me and in truth was just an opinion from a specific agent to begin with. I think this probably sets precedent for those letters not being used in this or other cases. I decided, much to my dissatisfaction, that it wasn't worth it to me to play the brace-not-an-sbr game so I sold the Scorpion. I wish someone would simply push forth legislation legating all SBR's. Don't try to attach other pro-gun things to it. Keep it simple, one thing at a time. If removed from the NFA, I'd probably go buy/build several SBR's over the course of a year or two. It is confusing. I hate that. I'm glad they found him "not guilty". I'm curious to see how a case such as this sets precedent for the future. I think it also helps establish a precedent that SBR's themselves could be removed from the NFA. -
Think you had a bad day? *NOT SAFE FOR WORK*
GlockSpock replied to gregintenn's topic in General Chat
My suspicion? Since the camera guy got cursed out by the perp, he wanted the cop to shoot him to right the wrong of being personally verbally assaulted. -

GlockSpock replied to gregintenn's topic in General Chat
It's a mess, but it really doesn't "show anything" and may be censored slightly, I'm unsure. Most of it is at a distance. There is...a lot of blood though. -

Well, at least the guy on drugs had an excuse (drugs) to his behavior. What about the idiot that was filming and yelling "Shoot that m*cker". He wasn't on drugs and was still an idiot. Also, he is definitely going to "feel this" later. I must say, all three officers seemingly did a fantastic job in handling this situation. If it were me, I would have at least wanted to arrest the camera guy for inciting violence. -
All I have to say... If the title was "Girls worshiping Satan in FL", would that mean that Satan was worshiping the girls in FL? Because, to me, "Satan worshiping girls" sounds as if it was Satan doing the worshiping. "Girls worshiping Satan" would seem the correct placement of subject and verb. "Satan-Worshiping Girls" would also accomplish the correct meaning. Hi, I'll see my way out of this thread now.

If MagPul were to take the current Henry AR-7 and modernize it, I think it would be amazing. Heck, MagPul could probably release a "stock" that is 100% compatible with the Henry AR-7. Fashion the "buttplate" so that it somehow locks/screws in resulting in a 100% waterproof and floatable package. Add some sort of M.O.L.L.E. webbing feature on the left or right side of the stock so you can literally strap the thing securely to a pack. To be fair, the Henry setup is pretty nice, but it still leaves a bit to be desired in my opinion.

Ok, what's your favorite Halloween time movie?
GlockSpock replied to Quavodus's topic in General Chat
I'd have to say "Scream" is at the top of my list. All four were decent, the first definitely the best. However, I recently watched "Viktor Frankenstein" and "Dracula Untold". Both of those were quite enjoyable. I'm reading Salem's Lot (King) again right now. It's a nice Halloween book. -

Video: Defendant Lunges for Oregon Officer's Gun in Court
GlockSpock replied to volshayes's topic in General Chat
That is a good point. I guess I was going with the assumption that everyone must pass though a metal detector before entering. I also concede that that is likely not always the case nor would it be foolproof. Your assessment that one of the guys with the guns should probably avoid close proximity with the defendant is a good one. -
Video: Defendant Lunges for Oregon Officer's Gun in Court
GlockSpock replied to volshayes's topic in General Chat
I understand completely the rules against us carrying in a court of law. I also think it should apply to officers. Between victims, defendants, etc, there are too many people that potentially have too many extreme emotions. It doesn't seem to happen often, but it is a possibility that one of these hot headed people grabs an officer's firearm. Of course, dependent on location, most courtrooms have other officers outside the courtroom. They should be armed. Officers within the courtroom could easily make due with tasers. Tasers generally will ruin someone's day, but generally won't take someone's life. Glad this circumstance was prevented before becoming tragic. -
[1] I don't think any of them will. I think some parts, like maybe the magazine release from a Gen 4 will work in a Gen 5. Personally, I'd just consider that none of the spare parts will fit, sell them along with the Gen 3 (if you are selling), and buy spare Gen 5 parts. That way it is 100% the way Glock designed it, no questions asked. Or, stick them with your Gen 3 (marked in a bag to remind future you what they are). [2] Was/is it a barrel for a Gen 3 or Gen 5? I might hold off if I were you. Shoot them Gen 5 quite a bit first. They switched from polygonal rifling to traditional lands and grooves. They now call it a "Marksman Barrel". Unless it is just something that you really, really want, you may find that you don't want/need the Wilson Barrel. Personally, I love my Gen 5. I started on Gen 3, upgraded to Gen 4, and then sold all my Gen 4 stuff recently because I like the Gen 5's.
