That's crazy...and so American (making something outlandishly huge, just because.) People around the world always amaze with their quirks.

I appreciate hearing what the final issue & fix turned out to be. Thanks for coming back @jgradycand closing the loop on this. I have a Toro ZTR mower doing the same as your tractor so I've been following this thread.

It's the double action only Gen1...which I favor over the LCP II, but everyone has their own preferences.

PM sent. Thanks!

He won't be able to own or possess a gun again after pulling this stunt. What a maroon (nod to Bugs Bunny.)

Ptosis of the OS (oculus sinister), or left eye. The 'evil' eye. Poor dude. But it's working for him I guess. Maybe he's looking to 'sale' something...

Plexico needed a holster.

I would definitely get the Tikka. Great rifles for the money. Accurate, smooth bolt operation, good triggers.

From the link on Henry recall: (Note - if you bought your gun BEFORE December 2022, you are fine/safe!) Henry Repeating Arms recently discovered a safety issue affecting certain lever action .45-70 Gov’t rifles manufactured during the period from December 14, 2022, through January 11, 2023. Henry is voluntarily initiating a recall to protect the safety of its customers. To prevent the possibility of death or serious personal injury, you should immediately stop using all Henry Repeating Arms lever action .45-70 rifles and not load or fire them until determining whether the rifle is subject to this recall. The Issue & Fix: Under certain conditions, it is possible that some of these rifles may unintentionally discharge without the trigger being pulled if the hammer is released or dropped from the cocked position. Henry has identified the cause of the issue as firing pins that may not meet specifications and is replacing the firing pin to correct it. Models Affected: The list of models affected by this recall are as follows: H010G, H010GAW, H010GAWP, H010GCC, H010X, H024-4570. To determine whether your specific Henry lever action .45-70 is subject to this recall, please enter your serial number in the box at the bottom of this page, ensuring you’ve entered the correct letters and numbers.

Now that's a great brother. Good shooting w/the slingshot, too. I'm glad they caught the kidnapper. Need to lock his butt up for a good length of time.

We need a new law that says if you pass laws you know violate the law you no longer get to remain in office to keep passing bad laws.

She's lovely!

Grayfox is still correct- 2020 election, 66% of Hispanics voted Democrat. The Dems know they can flip Texas and never lose the Presidency again if they let in enough illegals and grant them voting rights. It's not about crops or caring about humanity; it's a calculated plan guaranteed to change this country to have a Democratic super majority, a la California. Reagan cut a deal once to legalize nearly 3 million illegals in a compromise with Democrats. Now the Dems are seeing that as a blueprint to do a repeat, with the idea of pretending it will stem illegals entering & staying in the country. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/22557613/reagan-immigration-reform-amnesty-legalization-biden Considering we have 4x's the number of illegals now (more really, but who is allowed to quibble?) that's an obvious lie. We need secured borders, controlled immigration, and a return to work Visas for agriculture needs. Reagan tried to work with Dems. It was a bust. But the Dems see a route to never ending political control if they can sucker another president to sign off on a similar "amnesty citizenship" deal.

@Erik88 I agree with @BigK, get the Honda w/EFI and pass on the carbureted Kawasaki. With crap ethanol fuel, EFI is less problematic over the long haul. I had a KLX250S that leaked oil from the get go, so not as keen on the Kawi's since then. Honda should be a good investment for you when you outgrow the 125cc & decide to go bigger (easier resale; holds value better.)

It's missing the doohicky in the trigger. Otherwise...sweet! LOL!

Rebrand the term "red flag law" so we will not notice? Seems like very 'political' thing to do. I get it - no one wants the bad people to be able to get or possess guns. But any law that takes away a person's rights w/o due process protections is a no-go. I doubt these gentlemen will be able to thread that needle, no matter what terms they use.

Game plan is the same as always - outlaw guns at every opportunity. Never let a mass shooting go by w/o taking more rights away. @BigK has it correct; the AR bans = low hanging fruit. They won't stop there. Look @ Great Britain, Australia, & now New Zealand for the playbook end goal results. And once everything is banned & crime is worse than ever, to include murder, it's too late. You'll never get your rights back. You can vote yourself into Socialism/Communism/Dictatorship but you can only escape from that by shooting your way back out of it. Gun control is really just "control"...period. History shows that giving up rights for 'safety' leaves you with neither. Sadly the masses have been sold an easy fix to stop mass murderers in the siren call of gun control. By the time it dawns on the average person that it was all a lie, it's too late. The NYT is just rough toilet paper. It's good for lining a bird cage. Sadly people are reading it thinking there is still something of value there.

Gun Control isn't so much about guns, it's about...control.

From the link: "A manager told WBIR the man was trying to side holster a gun and shot himself in the hand accidentally." Whoops.

That is a beautiful rifle. Great photos. Someone is going to score a gun of a lifetime here. Free bump as this deserves to find a good home. GLWS!

He's got to mollify his base with tough talk on guns after screwing his supporters by potentially allowing oil drilling in Alaska. It's a nothing burger, but it won't end up being entirely harmless as we will all potentially be impacted until the inevitable lawsuits work thru the court system to nullify whatever this ends up doing. A 40 year career politician just working the media to look tough on guns. <sigh> I can't wait for 2024 when we can be done with this demented clown.

The end goal, based on the groups pushing for the code, isn't benign. Step one was to create the new code. Check. Done. Step two will be to track purchasers. Step three will be applying political & social pressure to the credit card companies to stop processing payments for that code "to save the children" or whatever the cry of the day will be. It is not innocuous. And it won't be an issue...initially. But it must be stopped before it can ever be used as a defacto database of gun buyers and then used as a lever of the antigun groups to shutdown financial services to "gun dealers", a la Operation Chokepoint (Obama era-style.)
