Must have been short supply and/or some quick grabs. The upper was available when I linked it, and I chose that one as it was the only complete upper under 10.5" in stock. Keep an eye out, that upper had the good BCG with it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk. OhShoot very much likes to know when we're using Tapatalk.

This: http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar-15-complete-classic-pistol-lower-no-magazine-black.html Plus this:http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-8-5-pistol-length-5-56-nato-1-7-melonite-barrel-and-7-2a-armament-keymod-rail-with-bcg-ch.html Equals: a brand new trunk ready AR pistol for only $430 plus shipping and transfer fees, and no worry about legal hassle (just keep your invoice with the S/N and product description in the truck). You can spoil yourself with a cheek rest for it, and a sling to enable you to lock it out for as stable an aim as can be.

Geissele triggers are very much worth the money if have it to spend and you're more than a once or twice a year AR shooter. I have a SD-3G for my SBR, and I'm teetering on getting an SD-E for my 16" AR that I recently put a Vortex Strike Eagle on. I've just fallen in love with the flat bow style and am pretty much using it as a standard for any AR I have...but if all I could use were Geissele's standard curve triggers, I'd live.

Very good video for people to be aware of when setting up ranges. When units would set up ranges on bases in Iraq and Afghanistan for test firing and confirming/re-establishing zeros, the size of the backstops were something constantly evaluated to make sure we weren't sending stray rounds out of the base and into nearby areas (this happened a few times in Baghdad). The division master gunner was even tasked to make inspections to ensure everything was within tolerance.

Sprintz was the only place worse than a gun store where I felt like the next meal for the salesman depended on the commission from my purchase based on their actions. Unlike the confines of gun store, it let me play a small game of can I shake the surveillance, and I got a small chuckle from seeing the salesman look around for me like I was a kid that wandered off a few times. While I wasn't there for a sale, I didn't find anything I liked...but furniture is the item I'm quite possibility the most nit picking over as a consumer. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk.

Not sure if this was a different case or not, but I recall debating a circuit court ruling about California carry law here. Basically, the challenge has to be structured to address that CA's ban on open carry makes any form of cause based requirements to get a permit too burdensome as to be a restriction on 2A rights. Asking the court to rule regarding concealed bans on their own merits without tying in the prohibition on open carry is a losing fight.

Pretty sure it's bribe money to make it go away and possibly put a clamp on public statements. You can see the words " The settlement amount was paid by the city's insurance company" so it's within the acceptable range of loss for the city (though this insurer should be re-looking at Ferguson's policing tactics hard). Also, the parents would have probably had to sign something to the effect that they aren't holding the city in blame for to take the money, and even possibly a clause that prevents them from speaking publicly on the issues the lawsuit settlement puts to rest. I'd tie the funds to a payment plan to ensure that one, however. This one is kind of small for the events that transpired. You should see some of the payments the Chicago comptroller has to cut checks for.

It's a little further than you may want from Bell Buckle, but TFG Automotive did some good work for me when I was in Murfreesboro. The people were friendly and I think I got a fair shake for the work performed, but I'm pretty unaware of what a deal or ripoff is in the car repair area.

I know that stippling is so useful on a practical level. Better grip, especially in wet or muddy conditions, all equating a safer handling and more efficient shooting...but the aesthetic of it is something I've always been very cold on. I will admit that it's done better than most I've seen in your pics, David...so probably the person you had do the work is responsible for that difference. The 320 is a nice looking gun all around and that does help as well perhaps. Though I think the best features I see are those small rub spots on edges showing that this isn't just a range toy and you're doing some for real training with this gun.

That second line you mentioned is called Dunkin' Donuts.

With that caliber, platform's that can handle it to use it tend to stick around. Look how long the M2 .50cal machine gun has been in the inventory. The army adopted it in 1921. The McMilllian Tac 50 is great, and the upgrades for the weapon system tend to come in the glass along with shooter/spotter skills. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk.

I'll just make note that when things need done in real life, the Barret is left on the range toy list. In seriousness...when I was in Afghanistan in 2002, my platoon did a lot of work with the Canadian battalion that was deployed with us, even being tasked under them for bits at a time. We were blown away by the skillset and capabilities of 3PPCLI as the unit was known. The recce platoon in particular, where a few of the guys on the top 5 list came from stood out as being packed with studs across the formation. To hear this record shot was made by a Canadian Soldier is no shock, but I'm still awed by the ability.

I get it...there is no such thing as a "routine" traffic stop and each one has an automatic risk associated by potential alone. But LEO's concurrently need to get that citizens have a right to be armed as well, and that shouldn't take the situation from 0-60 absent any other cause. Myriad examples exist where lawfully armed citizens are treated as a threat without any proximate cause to justify such. The tread line on citizen carry is going up, and that's a good thing overall. LEO training needs to get officers in a mindset where not being the only one in a situation with a firearm is a condition of the job. Philando Castille died because his right to carry was feared instead of being respected.

Combat deaths are one thing...deaths in preventable accidents are something I hate hearing when it comes to our military. The end result is something tragic in how it turned out the way it did, but at least their families have the closure instead of a lost at sea scenario to confuse their grief.

Hard for me to be anything but completely happy with my VP9 for carry and car packing.

Hear, hear. I was thinking that too after processing the information. Being shot at out in the open from someone who got to pick their shooting position and the engagement area is very similar to a common way US troops in the Iraq and Afghan wars came under small arms fire while out on patrol. Big difference was US troops had their own weapons and support assets to use.

The SHARE Act is something that's languished in the last Congress, and the one before that with some differences in the legislation. The suppressor part is new, but let's not get too excited yet. Politically, the best times to push that bit of business are the window that closed (President Trump's first 100 days) and one about 9-12 months away...making Democrats in red states up for re-election in the Senate have to take a vote on it before their primaries. I also think the NRA could have cashed in its markers with the President and Congress had they wanted to by now...so there's that to think about.

Considering the bad PR and liability that would open up if the story on the news was someone used the free Wi-Fi at a local Pizza Hut to arrange a gun buy (say via Facebook) then commit a crime...yeah you can see why "gun" "firearms" "gun+sales" ect would be put into the web filter. Yes, I know that doesn't prevent it 100%, but it does let the company say they tried to prevent it or some such. @Garufa, be interesting to know from a a tech standpoint if you were using a mobile web browser and/or TapaTalk to try.

Simple enough concept...if anything happens, you have responsibility for your own safety and security until help arrives. It's the norm for those on this site, but a very outside of the box line of thinking for the population at large. Also like how the Sheriff mentioned being trained, as well as alternates to a gun if you just aren't comfortable with it. I think the actual threat level generates the response. Americans stood up after 9/11 because there was a threat out there in the Al-Qaeda network that hit us as hard as they did. So, we were united in our response and resolve to attack them and knock down their ability to attack America like that again. It's when we got into the occupation business in Afghanistan and Iraq that people found themselves divided, and that's fair I think. Today we do have terrorism, but the threat does not rise to a level where national unity is natural response. And there is the legitimate question of how do we prevent the alienation of the non-extremist Islam when being watchful to the extremist version. That's a political question, but I'm not going to sacrifice anyones rights just because they happen to be the same ethnicity or religion (with conflicting beliefs) as the attacker.

Bersaguy & Ugly voting democrat is more likely to happen...but if Europe ever relaxed even handgun laws, US manufacturers would be the immediate beneficiaries until European brands spun up to meet market demand.

I think the community trying to keep a modicum of standards is a good thing. While TGO is David's baby and property, he's gone out of his way in time and resources to make it a home for us all, and having that home a little less cluttered is a good thing, IMO. I doubt he took the time to organize and set up all the different forums for naught. As for Bersa and his type size...no issues for me. While the search function isn't super user friendly, it is there, and I've often found myself better learned from using it to find something already here and then segueing into other stuff it brings up. Filled many a boring night by randomly diving into TGO threads from yesteryear.

I'm fine with all that, and I'm not saying people need to check the entrance like it's got a tripwire. But a deliberate look at whether or not you're in violation of the law is something I think is a burden of responsible carrying. I've had times where I've walked away and took my business elsewhere, and times when I went back to the truck and stowed my carry gun. That's the individual decision to make depending on needs.

I get a lot more annoyed and infinitely more insulted when it's the government, the same government that made me jump through said hoops to pay for vetting, tells me I still can't carry a weapon into property paid for and maintained by tax dollars. At least with a private business they have some inherent property rights that enter into the equation. It's annoying, but the hypocrisy of the same entity declaring me safe to carry a weapon then barring me from doing so in their footprint isn't in play. I'm of the mind that as law abiding carriers, that's very much what we're supposed to do at each and every place we find ourselves entering. I find the concept that we're too dumb to notice a posting, not situationally aware enough to spot one at a decent enough glance insulting to our intelligence as a demographic, and worry that doing so intentionally opens us up to a line of political attack from those who are already against our carrying in the first place.

Or put it into the proper area for such. I saw something in the introduction thread that was easily the topic for a specific sub-forum.

On their websites Nashville page it specifically states "No OPEN CARRY of firearms permitted except by sworn law enforcement personnel." Now, that may be superseded by a sign on the door or Opry Mills policy, so it's still on you to be situationally aware enough to look at the entrance you use for a posting.
