The ATF has also prosecuted folks for malfunctioning firearms. (See the Olofson case.) They don’t care if it was intentional or a malfunction. A machine gun is a machine gun and they will prosecute you for it after having it tested by their Firearms Technology Branch using unwritten and unreleased criteria to ensure that the proper result is achieved.
Their reputation is well deserved after spending decades earning it.
Not buying that example. Just read the case. Seems to me it was purposely done. Not by accident or a faulty part. One way or another, being prosecuted and even having charges stick are slim to none for a broken sear. You have a better chance of getting hit by lightning. When mine broke, I made the gun safe, packed it away and brought it directly to the gunsmith. Wasn't dumb enough to keep trying it because I knew something was wrong.
In the many decades I've been shooting, I've seen and heard of quite a few sears breaking or even someone that had no idea what they were doing, trying to file down the sear to lessen the trigger pull, etc. I believe it can even be more imminent today with some of the cheap parts used unlike many years ago where a lot of products were made by hand.
The above post depicting that this could be used by the ATF as being used in a case it ludicrous. Why point that out in that context? It's not amusing in todays 2A environment. It just draws problems...FTR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Olofson

ATF has sent people to prison because they ruled a shoestring or a paper clip was an unregistered machine gun. They have earned the reputation they have.
...and what does that have to do with a broken sears or malfunctions? Nothing here indicated it was done on purpose. Everything mentioned can legitimately happen. As it has happened to me once in my life. There are plenty of true stories of it across a good spectrum of gun models. You screw with your gun purposely, you get what you deserve. But I see no comments here that indicate they screwed with their guns to make it go full auto. ####e happens. Sometimes you learn the hard way. Or you are happy the outcome was not a bad one where someone got hurt of died.

You can file for the GMRS license online in a few days print it out. No tests required, just a fee. Any family members in your household can use them with just the one license. So if you want, apply now.
As 'spock mentioned, you'll never be able to go 300 miles. If it could, receiving parties would also need their own license.
Start studying up for your ham license. A lot of the material is online. Once you get it, it will be good for 10 years and just renew it. It's also only for the individual. But again, receiving parties will need their own individual license.
Wouldn't it be easier just to use cell phones? There are a lot of variables with radios.

I don’t know, but I suspect if you search Nonfeasance, Misfeasance and Malfeasance for those states you might find something.
U.S. Marshals or the F.B.I. under the direction of the United States Attorney General could make the arrests.
But they shouldn’t try to use troops when they don’t need them. May 4th 1970, Kent State University. 4 dead, 9 wounded, unarmed protestors.
I don't care to know. I was being facetious. But there is no resolve in your statement. My final word is, what are we/you prepared to do? The only govt that wants to do something is federal.
These individual cities and states have no interest in fixing anything. You mention Kent State. I recall it. 4 dead and 9 wounded. Surely you cannot compare Kent to what is happening now. This is much more wide scale. And besides, we have better technology. I know they are watching. They know who is funding this. I mentioned it. Cut off the head of the snakes. It will all slowly go away. In the mean time.....Your title/post asks how concerned are you ......... I'm very concerned. But we are not the ones to stop it. Big brother has to. They broke it, they need to fix it by any means. It's no longer unarmed citizens.

Give the cops a green light. Going nuclear is not necessary. These are punk azz criminals mixed in with some armed rich kids that probably learned last year which end of the barrel the bullet comes out. The fact that they can pull a trigger in a crowd or ambush cops sitting in a car, doesn’t make them military operators. I’m not suggesting that cops underestimate the enemy; I’m saying that when faced with overwhelming force, those that aren’t arrested will retreat like the cowards they are. Most states have criminally laws against politicians failing to act. Especially when innocent citizens die because of it. Those laws need to be enforced. They only thing politicians fear more that not being elected; is going to prison. They don’t think that will happen. They need to be shown they are wrong.
Still agreeing. But you mention that most states have laws against politicians failing to act. Are the states that are in turmoil now have those laws? If so, who will enforce them by removing their leaders kicking and screaming in cuffs? The dem libtards that are enabling this crap seem to fear nothing. They could care less about us. They are letting it deteriorate and why? They think the rest of the country is going to bail their failed states out with federal funding? Hah! Not going to happen on Trumps watch. They hate Trump and that's their main goal. Destroy him and run over whomever gets in their way.
The states that do not have this so called law, what are they doing? Same thing?
They are showing their true colors. They never cared about the people. Only their worthless hides. Politicians do need term limits. They do need to be removed from office. By voting them out doesn't work and if it does, at the speed of snail crossing a great desert. When a governor or mayor fails to do their jobs, they need to be fired! Not recalled! Not voted out.I'm getting to old and broken for this crap. I just want things to go back to whatever use to be considered normal and left alone. a lot of us fall into my category but it doesn't mean we won't stand up and fight. We just hope we don't have to.

They can’t do their jobs if they don’t get the information from the dispatchers. They aren’t being sent. Should they try it with their coms and other support shut down? Of course not, that would be suicide.
Think you misread me. You mentioned the local leo need to be un-cuffed. In other words, to be able to do their jobs. I agree!
They are cuffed by the crooked politicians. Most want to do the right thing. I'd like to see them give the middle finger to the corrupt rulers and -just- do their jobs. Instead, you have officers, chiefs, etc. Resigning and retiring because they had enough.
So again, do what?
As far as the Insurrection Act, if that cant get full resolve, what are you/we prepared to do? Sandbag your home and put sandbags 10 high around a defensive perimeter? Firebase Gloria perhaps? Run and hide in a mountain while your primary home gets infested by scum and come back to what?
I don't think Trump and Barr are 'just' making threats. They are trying real hard NOT to use the IA... This bs that they need invitations to step in is nuts.
It needs to be slapped down quickfastnotslow. It would have never gotten to this proportion if it weren't for the libtard leaders in these states. How many livelihoods ruined, innocents getting hurt or killed. Cops, again, getting shot by some chicken #### that shoots and runs. How far are we willing to let it go? When will any of you run up there as a 3 percenter or just think and talk about it?If anyone has a good idea, I'm all ears. But this anarchy... needs to stop. Govt is here to protect us and whether we like it or not, we need them.

Trump and Barr both need to quit making threats they aren’t prepared to back-up; it shows they are weak. These places don’t need military action; they need their local Police to be uncuffed. Those who ordered them to stand down; need to be charged criminally.
Yea, but they won't. Meanwhile it gets worse. I did say in my post that getting corrupt govt out immediately and we cant wait for voting them out. It doesn't work. Un-cuffing the police is fine by me. Also, from experience, I've seen good cops turn politician once they've reached brass ranks. They listen to the politicians running the show.
If it were not the case, don't you think the leo would go against their gov body and do their jobs?

If Trump wins, he has already mentioned using the Insurrection Act.... (hell, he should do it now. He can and should slam every area of the country down. Being prepared is good but if you are digging in, make sure you can cover all sides. Depending where you live, rural for instance, its going to take more than you. Kind of hard to have choke points, k-boxes, etc where there are so many ways in. Corn fields, etc...
I hope too, it doesn't go this far and IA can get it controlled. It should have never gone this far. quite frankly, this crap needs a change. Any political hack that fails to halt this should be immediately removed from office. We cannot wait to vote these people out because it takes too long. People are hurting now. We cannot let it go on or creep across the field towards us.
Cut off the head of the snakes. Sorors, Blumbutt, etc... Soros laughs and thinks this is funny. He has created trained Marxist. I'm sure both sides of our govt know this.

I snagged a 407K for my P365XL last week, and I liked it so much I immediately ordered a 407C to replace the Romeo 3 on my 22/45 Lite. I have astigmatism, and these are the first red dots I've seen where the dot actually looks like a circle instead of a star.
Amazing isn't it? Like I mentioned, I tried them all and was a die hard Trij and Aimpoint fan... These are the ONLY ones playing nice with my astigmatism.. Have fun...

I do agree about E-Bay deals. I did have some knowledge of this seller, and checked him out again before my orders. But...you never can tell. lol I do get guarantees from seller and E-bay for product and my satisfaction. I have used E-bay's dispute resolution twice now, and have gotten satisfaction both times.
Oh...I am on the OP mailing list. I get far more from them than I care for at times. lol
Almost, but not quite, as bad as D'Vor. They drive me crazy with their mailings.
DVOR is OpticsPlanet.... had to get away from them. They drove me nuts too. Lot of their stuff took quite a bit of time to get during their sale periods or whatever they called it. Bought a few things and didn't feel like waiting anymore. Waaaayyyyy too aggressive.

I did check their stock before ordering. 2 items were on backorder with a 5-7 month wait list.
Those in stock, even with the 15% discount, I got slightly better prices on E-Bay.
Not saying OpticsPlanet isn't good. I actually checked them first, as I have bought there before. But in this instance, waiting and about a 20 buck savings, even with taxes, I came out ahead and have the products without the wait.
Still should get on mailing list if you are not. I saved a lot over the years with them. Only thing with places like ebay and such, you really have to watch out for counterfeit stuff... good luck and keep us informed.

Not having a lot of Red dot/RMR experience, I can't say a great deal intelligently on this forthcoming debate/debacle.
But having looked at/thru some of them over the last month or so...I came to the conclusion that the Holosun products were where I was going with my purchase.
I have, in the last 7 days ordered 3 Holosun products. An HE510c GR-V2, an HE507c GR-V2, and the HM 3X magnifier.
Now for full disclosure, I did order the 510c by mistake. In all the looking, I thought it was the pistol use model. Since it was scheduled for delivery next day, it was too late to cancel. After this was pointed out to me, I ordered the 507c.
I was deliberating on whether to keep it or send it back. Well, thanks to a little trigger time with Cojo87, and the use of several of his Holosun equipped firearms; I feel very comfortable with my purchases. I'm keeping the 510 for an AR, or maybe a Scorpion mount. That's yet to be determined.
And since I'm going to keep the 510c, I ordered the HM 3X to go along with it. For me, I found the magnifier to be an absolute joy to use. It helped me see much better, and seemed to remove what little flare I saw from the sight on a DAMN fine rifle of Cojo's that I got to shoot. But that's another story. Clarity was fantastic with it, not like a few budget magnifiers I have seen.
So, "infringement" or just glorified copy of another manufacturer's product...I made the choice that was right for me. Using the standard of economic feasibility( what I could afford) and what I liked...Holosun was for me.
After reading the comments on the above linked article, I haven't changed my mind. The back and forth over who actually owns Holosun, and where it's roots lie got to be sort of fun to read though.
I've tried many products of a similar nature. As much as I love Trij and I still do, Holo's red or green dots where the only ones that I didn't have to put my glasses on to see the dot clearer.er.er.er..... lol.
But seriously. I've tried them all. What Holo does differently is beyond me. My astigmatism screws with my eyes vs dots... If you have astigmatism, try one before you buy. See if you feel the same way. BTW, nobody else throws a solar panel on top. Can't believe Trij would crab about any of this other than Holo is stealing some of their profits. Oh well. Competition is a biotch.

I'm a big Trij fan and have several Holo's.... but unless I'm missing something, those comparison photos don't mean crap. Other than size, like any other manufacture, small is the key for those sets. Sounds like a whine to me.

That's the exact reason I went with that model. In a situation that isn't elevated to the firearm level quite yet but needs some defensive action, with 1800 lumens it's bright enough to temporarily blind somebody for a few seconds and give you some separation time to make your next move. Your mileage may vary.
Don't forget strobe mode....

Any reason you guys are holding out for the 407K?

Please let us know what you think of the green when you get them. I don’t know if they still are, but they were charging more for the green. I question that green would be any easier to see than red, but I haven’t tried it. Or if it is, is it substantial?
Don't know if this helps. It is easier to see...
Green is always more. Most companies always charge more for green. Hi visibility, etc..
I have 4 suns now.
510C in Red
510C in Green
407HS Red
407C V2 Green...
All work very well.-

Rifles you never shoot
in Long Guns
Posted
I tend not to have duplicates of any of my rifles. BUT, I do have one for every occasion plus occasions I haven't thought of yet..
They are safe queens for the most part because I just can't get out to the ranges as much. Tend to use handguns more but now just hording ammo.
- I can reach out and touch someone.
- I can reach out and touch someone even further
- A master key for just those occasions
- Close quarter battle
- Lever action when I feel like playing cowboys and Indians
- Clearing rooms
- Self defense
....etc.
