All mine have been really sick the past two weeks. My 17yr old son ran 104 for 4 days. My wife ran 102-104 for 3 days. I had it one night but man! I've never fever ached like that! Everyone has deep lingering coughs.
The wife and son got tested and everything came back as negative for covid, flu, etc.

It's is pricey but I didn't pay quite that. You can get them under $900 (still a lot!)
I'm not a revolver guy either, but the older I get the more I like revolvers and lever actions.

Been looking for good . 357 carry revolver and was curious about the K6S or a King Cobra. Willis68 had both and I got to handle them both and both are fantastic. The K6S was just so light, thin, slim, and modern feeling. At the same time, it felt solid and tight. I really liked the looks of the 2" barrel but really liked the increased ballistics of the 3". I got to say this is the most carriable 3" revolver I've ever held. Excited to get it to the range.

The 92 is a Rossi. It's not a rare Winchester in the collector sense but still is a great gun. I personally have a couple and they have increased in value over the years.steve is who need to talk to about the Rossi. Great guy and is the source. ttps://store.stevesgunz.com

Is it as good as a Gen3? I would say it is a Gen 3 with a slightly different grip. It has some of the mods people like to make to the Glock. Like mag pull cutouts, grip smoothing, slide melting, etc. It uses Gen 3 parts so you can mod it as much as a Glock.
If you were to blind test them side to side, I think you'd prefer the Dagger. Once your know what it is, the brand bias tends to kick in.
It's a reminder how cheap the Glock is to manufacturer and still make a good markup.

I'm a big fan and have had several but there are enough current 9mm +p rounds that the ballistic advantage nearly disappears. Add in that the cost, capacity, availability, and reloading advantage all go to the 9mm there really isn't an good reason to go .357 sig.
It's a great round but I couldn't justify it against high quality +P 9mm.

I think i should have been a little more specific. A jig for cutting a 3/8” dovetail on a rifle barrel for a dovetail sight.
Haha, I guess that does make a difference!

I've had an 85UL for some time and it's been great. It has a better trigger than stock Ruger and S&W's I've had. Traded the springs for Wolff springs and it got even better. One of the best DA revolver triggers I've ever held.
That being said, I've held other Taurus revolvers that weren't close, so maybe I got a unicorn but it's a good one!

I've tried and enjoyed these. BTW these are all the same 10/22.
1. Blackhawk Axiom stock. Lightweight and was great when my kids were small and growing.
2. Magpul X-22 stock. Great stock. A little heavy but solid and adjustable lop.
3. Desert Tech Trek-22 bullpup. This is my current stock and I love it.

Below are the medication regimens for this disorder. I am curious to see if the meds were in her system in terms of whether she was actually taking them. So often folks refuse to take their medications and by law you cannot make them take them which leads to very quick mental declines.
Medications
In general, doctors prescribe medications for schizoaffective disorder to relieve psychotic symptoms, stabilize mood and treat depression. These medications may include:
- Antipsychotics. The only medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration specifically for the treatment of schizoaffective disorder is the antipsychotic drug paliperidone (Invega). However, doctors may prescribe other antipsychotic drugs to help manage psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations.
- Mood-stabilizing medications. When the schizoaffective disorder is bipolar type, mood stabilizers can help level out the mania highs and depression lows.
- Antidepressants. When depression is the underlying mood disorder, antidepressants can help manage feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or difficulty with sleep and concentration.
Mediations only work if there is a pre diagnosis natural imbalance. Introducing chemical altering/adjusting medication cause the natural process to stop producing its own chemical processes. Thus the reason giving these drugs during early development (ex ridilun, etc.) creates such large manic/depressive shifts later in life.
It's been now proven that less than 10% of kids put on behavioral medications actually had/have natural chemical imbalance.
Point being, as far as medication goes, we are creating chemical/prescription dependent people. Mix that with existing mental disorders (not chemical imbalance induced) that have no chance.
What I gleaned from the manifesto excerpts, is that a girl with issues found enablers that encouraged her to embrace dilusion. I can almost guarantee drugs were prescribed to mitigate her response to the mental conflict. That set her up to quietly boil till the lid popped.
I'm continually grieved that we take borderline people and pressure cook them with medication instead of acknowledging the reality that there is absolute truth and bringing thought inline with the reality of that truth. Ironically, the cognitive behavioral approach is the only one that had proven to be effective and it is the last approach used. You can't prescribe it.
Off my soap box. They should have released the pain (manifesto, etc) early and let them move on. This isn't helpful.

Couldn't they just take the whole headrest out with the push of a button or a little force? Seems like a great idea that is terrible.

You have the right to sell to whom you wish, and to set the conditions of such sales, but you did say you would operate according to the law as you know it. And for clarification from the horses..well you know.
Yeah, I'm hypocritical on that point. Too many potential legal issues or threat of issues in today's climate.

The law states that you have to be 21 to buy a handgun from an FFL, not from a private person. So an 18 YO can legally purchase a handgun in an in-state personal transaction.
While that may be true, hypothetically speaking, I'm not selling under those conditions.
-
I would operate under the law as I know it, 21 on the handgun. Ability to own and carry is not the same as ability to buy. I would not sell to a 19 year old.
I left out the 21 in my first post but I usually say that attached to the "are you 21 and legally able to own a firearm" for handguns.

1. Are you a TN resident?
2. Are you legal to own a firearm? (Not a felon).
I usually just ask, "are you at TN resident? and you're not a felon?"
The ID and everything after that is unnecessary. You will get strong opinions about the extras and the methods but the above is all that is required by the letter of the law.
Personally, I will do no more and no less. I understand Bill of Sales, but out of principal, I will not participate in those transactions.

It's disappointing that some of you think harsher penalties would actually work. There are countries that chop off a hand for stealing and yet they still have a lot of crime. If people are desperate enough it doesn't matter what the punishment is.
On the opposite side, there are countries with extremely liberal penalties that have some of the lowest rates of crime on earth.
That has more to do with culture, population density, and geographical aspects than criminology and or penalties.
That being said, the rehabilitation experiment has faired far worse than the punitive model. Even with those above mentioned dynamics. So, with crime being a constant, punitive works better than rehabilitation on the whole.

It's this a pre-op for Biden?
That being said, if you've done your time, you've done your time. When it's over, you're restored.
Make sentences mean something and quit all the early, plea, negotiating releases, and sentences, etc. That's just for politics anyway.
Do it and be done. It's idealistic but how I'd prefer it to be.
