My backyard is not your playground. If you are there without permission you are guilty of tresspassing. In that situation you are the criminal and you are in the wrong.

No, it's not a dumb take. I hate that I actually agree with @Abhorshon on some of his more extreme Libertarian views, but your right to do as you please ends when I exercise my right to tell you to "fuck off" because that bullshit is not allowed here. "No shirt, no shoes, no service." Have...

Which won't pass constitutional muster by any stretch of the immagination when you consider that you have the right to tell someone "this is private property, neither that shit nor you are welcome here, and you are tresspassing" when it's your private property for a shit-ton of reasons which...

My thoughts about concealed carry on college campuses are mixed. On one hand: Practically everyone on a college campus is an adult. On the other hand: there are places on a college campus - like a chemistry lab - where the mere presence of a firearm is a disaster looking for an excuse and...

When a lawyer volunteers and says "I'm here to help" one should always expect to receive a bill.

Awhile back I said in the Shooty Bang Bangs thread that I was going start my daughters off with an antique Tanegashima matchlock musket and was pounced on because others thought that was a bad idea. Now you have an example of why I thought that knowing how to use a complicated and...

What's really hilarious: a guy in a suit and tie just might be carrying an M1911 plus six reloads a quick pat down of all the pockets - including the one on the inside left of the jacket and the two on his shirt - might completely miss.

Good on him. That package wasn't meant for him and "return to sender" wasn't in the hand he was delt or the deck of cards.

Do you have a link to that? Note: the Indiana General Assembly is a part-time legislature. They meet for only 3 months of a 2-year election cycle.

Haven't really been following this thread but decided to check in on it. Stabilized against a pole means he was probably using the concrete base* a parking lot light pole is bolted to as an improvised bench rest. * intended to keep a car which slams into it from knocking the light pole over...

Article 1, Section 8, Clause 15 does give Congress the power to regulate privately owned weapons. The 2nd Amendment removes most of it.

... which will hit practically everyone who owns a functional museum piece. The matchlock musket I'm using to teach my youngest daughter how to shoot was made in 1852 by a swordsmith. It doesn't have a serial number.

From what I read Black Rifle Coffee Company executives probably did try to pull financial "fast one" shenanigans which got noticed and caught. A strongly worded letter like that one reaching your inbox means that you done fucked up and a there's a "bigger fish" who is displeased with your...

It'll fly about as well as a lead balloon filled with gaseous tungsten hexafluoride. i.e.: it won't.

Stupid games, stupid prizes ... In 1984 actor Jon-Erik Hexum accidently offed himself via. Russian Roulette using a revolver armed with only a blank.

Gals like her tend to irritate my wife and female relatives because gals like her generally exaggerate the things my sisters and sisters-and-law all know how to keep unruly children from dangerous things entirely by instinct that "daddy" wouldn't allow them to touch witout adult supervision.

Think of it like being involved in a car accident bad enough that a police report needs to be filed. If you're there when the cops arrive you're only in trouble for what you did before they get there when they get there. If you leave before they arrive ... you're in trouble for "leaving the...

It's entirely possible that a Congressman might not have the financial means or the connections necessary to get one that's "civie legal" for personal use.

It's a 1911. They're pretty interchangeable and a lot like vodka: you're paying for the label and the priciest ones aren't always the best ones.

A bit of both, actually. They are very good rifles to start with and they're going to make you pay through the nose for the added optional extras.
