By now everyone is pondering their income tax refund(s), where to apply it in order to help fuel the inflation? LOL! Unlike many other gun owners (I'm sure), *I* dream of things that I would get were I to hit some sort of lottery win. So I nose around GB a bit, looking at "nice things" that would be fun to have at home. Not really shopping full auto, sadly, just nice things. Here are a few I've found that gave me some serious pause for reflection. How much fun would this be? Full auto, .300 Black Out. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/919526666 $1100 for a bolt carrier???????? And not even all-OEM???? https://www.gunbroker.com/item/914968711 $689 for an EMPTY H&K soft pistol case????? Seriously???? No gun, no mags, nothing but an empty soft case. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/917173187 $4200 for an UPPER! Not a complete rifle, a simple UPPER!!!!! https://www.gunbroker.com/item/922426003 All my friends know I've been drinking the H&K kool-aid for a long, long time. I believe they're the best built, best shooting & most accurate guns one can buy, end of story. Not necessarily the best value for the $$$, but certainly the best in their categories. But holy crap on a stick, these prices for these items are nothing short of insane, IMO. Spend your refunds wisely, gents!

You seem to forget, this IS NYC we're talking about here. Logic, reason & common sense fly out the window when it comes to firearms there. Hard to see from here how entrapment can be considered at all, IMO. Transporting guns (what, 1000 miles?) to a city/county/state known to be strongly anti-gun? A city/county/state he grew up in? Were someone to offer you $1K to mule some cocaine, do you have to ponder if it's legal or not? Nah, they have this idiot dead to rights, IMO. Maybe he can use Alec Baldwin's lawyer?

$1 says he never does a day in jail nor prison.

I'm sure this is humor. Otherwise you're going to be waiting a long, long, long time...................................

I would imagine enforcement would be after-the-fact of an event? IOW, "let me see zee papers!"

Of course. Otherwise it would be racist.

I would bet he raised eye brows on a multiple purchase form. Or three................

Could be they were tracking them? I'm just guessing here. There's no doubt the dumbest people on gun crime will be NYC DA's, IMO.

Lots of less-than-ideal people there for neighbors. I've had lots of them tell me about stuff "walking off" that was left outside, so please be advised. Beautiful drive along Ball Park Road though. The Conasauga River is a neat little drive. Be sure to check out Fletcher's Spout, neat story there. If you need help on anything, give me a shout.

Story A whole lot of stupidity in that story. Not sure why he would sell the guns loaded? Sounds like he learned gun handling via watching rap videos? From the Bronx to Austin Peay. No doubt an attempt to lift an urban yout out of poverty & make him a productive citizen. Another liberal program that not only backfired, but endangered the lives of no telling how many NY citizens by bring this jerk in.

Story "did not pull the trigger" Well, now we know what defense he's going to try to use. If this scene was filmed, I would think it would show if his finger is or is not on the trigger. As gun owners ourselves, we all know guns don't "just go off". I hope when this is all over & done with, Baldwin is both in prison & bankrupted.

Ehh, it's for emergencies only, actually. With a handheld HAM, I won't be paying monthly fees. But a sat phone is a good idea were I to be in the boonies quite a bit, I agree.

Story I would love to see how many other felons with firearms he's charged? I doubt it's very many unless the media is watching his news conference.

Ok, that surprises me.

We've been trying to reach you about your car warranty expiring.............................

Guns only or guns & motorcycles too?

Story So, once AGAIN honest, law abiding gun owners are being forced to cover the damage caused by thugs, punks & miscreants with ILLEGAL firearms. Sounds about right.................. Police ALREADY have "means" for forfeiture of the ILLEGAL use of firearms. In short, they're saying, "We don't give a crap about the law, the Constitution or the courts. We hate guns & we're going to punish law abiding gun owners because we sure as heck can't blame the liberal social programs that helped encourage these miscreants." Personally, I think it will take an appeals court to get this thrown out. CA judges will slobber all over themselves in upholding this BS, IMO.

Would love to see how many he's sold?

His land = his property, IMO. Screw them.

TWRA can & does enforce game laws on private property. But putting up cameras & walking around private property w/o a warrant is a BIG no-no in my rule book. For the record, I don't hunt nor fish, I just shoot.

*I* would interpret that as a "visual search" by the naked eye, not cameras. The TWRA has long been too big for their britches, IMO. Does anyone remember when they built some sort of small dam/retaining wall in West TN to block water for someone's duck hunting desires? They got taken to court, found they violated some sort of wetlands laws & got told to rip that thing out yesterday. Then it all got hushed up REAL fast. I never heard if they ripped it out or not? Nor what happened to those who approved the project in the first place.

More than it's worth, I bet.

You lucky dog...............................

Obviously, based on your other post. One thing I've noticed with a lot of mid-tier .22 semi's is they run a LOT better with a liberal dose of oil on the slide & rails. The aluminum frame (on a lot of them) doesn't do well with the steel slide when there's not extra lube, IMO. Extra, good quality lube goes a long way in overcoming cycling issues, IMO.

No, never really delved into which frequencies they used. I was picking his brain for advice more than anything. Nice fella too. Are you familiar with the Old Fort area?
