  1. step 1 get benefactor membership step 2 post here for reasonable price step 3 wait-how long it sits will depend on how fair the price is   you can request a BOS to cover yourself if you really want to, but there are some that don't like to do that  and you get the same amount of protection from printing out the emails/PM's and recording the persons name and contact info on it.   Armslist is free to post on to, but to me the benefit of posting here is that i dont have to deal with some of the people that use armslist.  It just feels safer and more comfortable.     Meetings for buy sale or trade for me that were done through this site always went extremely well and made me feel like i was meeting a member of a community rather than a stranger.
  2. I understand the legal implications, my understanding of the post was that the OP was asking for personal opinions on it.  My personal opinion is that all people are different.  Some are perfectly capable of responsibly carrying even if consuming alcohol  others may very well not.    In addition to that public can constitute much more than a portion of an establishment devoted to serving alcohol.  I in no way condone breaking the law.
  3. Just a thought, but if the DOJ still has an active investigation concerning Zimmerman doesn't that mean that he can not be compelled to testify during a civil suit.  From my understanding civil courts wont touch you if there are possible criminal charges pending as that would violate your constitutional rights.  If that holds true in this case then the DOJ's investigation would actually be serving to protect Zimmerman in the short run
  4. Robby Zimmerman completely owned Morgan during their interview.  It was really enjoyable to watch.  Definitely worth looking up on you tube for those that may have missed it.
  5. For me its pretty much a non issue.  May have a beer with dinner once or twice a month  and i dont disarm when i do.  Don't think its necessary.   As far as drinking in public while armed individual mileage may vary.  The type of guy/gal that has a few drinks knows they shouldn't be driving and calls a cab is the same type of person that's smart enough to leave their firearm holstered.  A holstered gun aint gonna hurt any one regardless of the state of inebriation of its owner much like a parked car isnt going to hit anyone.     If your the type of person on the other hand who practices really bad judgement when drinking in any amounts then perhaps its not the carrying a gun you should be questioning but rather the drinking part.
  6. It wouldn't surprise me if there is something like that out there, but i fail to see the point.  The padding of a rifle case would cause a lot of unnecessary bulk if it were to be used as a chest rig. 
  7. My big gripe with not letting in the prior fights of trayvon is that the jury instructions specifically require them to take into consideration the physical abilities and capabilities of both zimmerman and trayvon martin.  The only way that a jury can do that is if they have heard evidence that speaks to the physical abilities and capabilities of trayvon.  
  8. Maybe they werent bad if they were recently made.  The only time i had beef frankfurters was in basic and im pretty sure that MRE had been on a shelf somewhere for a decade
  9. Dave don't tell me you were one of the two people to ever exist that actually liked the beef frankfurters.  
  10. The guys stupid and needs to go to jail for it   With that being said  wonder what maid it fire a burst.  Bump fire maybe?
  11. alright show of hands who else keeps a gun in there love box.
  12. [URL=http://s987.photobucket.com/user/cwillard1983/media/Mohammed-and-Aisha_zpsb9b2ad67.jpg.html][/URL] I try my best to be tolerant of all religions however i can not find the place to accept a religion whose guiding moral figure while at the age of 53 has sex with a 9 year old girl
  13. As far as best deals for MRE's id suggest ebay.  But if your just looking for food for a power outage and portability isnt as large of an issue i'd just suggest stocking up on some shelf stable foods and a camp stove.  Youd have much better tasting food than what comes in MRE cases.
  14. your post clarified more what i was talking about with likability i just didn't elaborate on it.  I agree that at the time it would not have been worth the damage they would do to themselves in getting there at that time.  Just part of me (the always curious part) wonders if they could have.       I think the defense still has a plan to try to open that door with their witnesses although they may not necessarily need to.   they also have more than enough for the appeals process if the verdict doesn't go their way.
  15. i wonder if they tried harder with TM's moms cross if they could have got to more of TM's past actions.  Specifically the point that she said her son was in heaven.  wouldn't a simple clarifying question to that statement be all that was really needed to slam that door wide open.    Granted this would have been a completely classless move, and wouldn't win any likability points with the jury.
  16. thats pretty much what i did but instead of print screen i used the select tool to copy them into paint,  the print screen was to much blank white space and would have made it even worse.        From the way i read the memo, it appears that their plan is to focus their production for the time being on the products that they sell the most of, and prevent having to go back and forth setting up machines on their production line.     Although it really sucks if you just must have an item on that list i think it will help speed the recovery of the ammunition and components market, as time that they previously spent changing out equipment and settings can now be spent manufacturing more.
  17.

  18. I think the biggest problem with this grip style for gunfighting is when its over exaggerated like the article described.  When used normally i have not found a reduction in peripheral vision like the article described.  I also have what most would describe as monkey arms so i always end up with more bend in my elbows than what you typically see with the exaggerated C grip and i keep the elbows tucked towards the rifle.   I've tried several different grip techniques for my support hand and find that for me personally i am faster getting on target using a c clamp type grip and more accurate using sightless fire in CQB distances.  everyone is different though and what works well for me and my body type does not necessarily translate well to others.     The article does do a good job of explaining the potential downfalls of using this grip method though
  19. If nothing else he would be able to sue for monetary damages resulting from the dog scratching his car
  20. There has been a few fairly interesting articles that discuss handler bias and how it will cause the dog to falsely indicate.   http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/welcome/features/2010-2011/02/20110223_drug_dogs.html
  21. I know i wouldnt be bothered by it at all if you asked for the last few digits of the serial number to verify that it wasn't your stolen property.   Also not that it helps you,  but most police departments will run a serial number through NCIC for you if you call and as them to. It's not at all a bad idea to do this if you are not 100 percent comfortable with the sellers reputation.  There is also website called tracechecker.com that is supposedly linked to the NCIC stolen property files.  I am not sure how well it works.     This may actually be a good opportunity to check the site to see how well it works.  OP if you are willing and wouldnt mind PMing me the seriel number to the stolen gun i'd really like to do a test of the tracechecker site to see if it actually shows up in their database as stolen property     Edited to add:   OP PM'd me his serial number and it did not show on trace checker as part of their stolen property files.  At this time i can not suggest using this site to verify property that you may be buying.   I do still recommend calling youl local PD to run the serial number if your are at all suspicious of the seller or item.
  22. I think the original pool was somewhere just north of 100 of which they narrowed down to 40 for the more thorough process of questioning.  out of those 40 they were able to find the required six primaries and 4 alternates. Mr Branca covered it more in depth at the time so if you want numbers and reasons why they were let go then you can probably look it up in his previous blogs on the jury selection process
  23. It falls under the Admissions category of exceptions to hearsay rules under Florida law.  90.803   As far as a hidden gotcha,  no there really wasn't one,  they needed this witness on the stand because his recounting of the story Z told him that he published in his book was different than what z told the police.  The prosecution was attempting to point out inconsistencies in Zimmerman's story (a repeating theme throughout the trial).  It was pretty much all explained away on cross as being the witnesses recollection of the story 4 month later at the time of writing his book, and that at the time of writing he did not have contact with Zimmerman to verify the information he was writing to be wholly accurate.   The prosecutors have been able to point out some inconsistencies so far, but nothing i view as particularly significant.  I think that they were going for the quantity over quality approach and will likely hammer these more in their closing arguments.
  24. I think the prosecution was trying to end with her today so that she would be whats in the jurors mind over the holiday that would be very powerful. Even with finishing on friday  if they can call a BS witness and then her they can end the day and go into the weekend with her testimony.   I do however think the defense will attempt to manipulate her on cross.  All it takes for them to get TM's actions in would be for her to say something along the lines of he was such a good boy  etc.  and i think putting her on the stand would be a mistake for that reason.  Think about even asking her why was TM in Sanford and not home with her.  She could potentially open the door to a lot of information that the prosecution does not want the jury to hear
  25. i really like that jig,  simple yet appears to be effective and a good time saver.
