What was turnaround time on that one? I submitted both of mine in February, still waiting

Thanks to Bob's hatred of AR pistols I'm now waiting on a Form 1. And a Form 4 for a can. Waiting fucking sucks. Thanks Bob.

I like how everyone here missed that she's ALMOST 18. So probably a high school senior. Possibly (but doubtfully) a junior. Kinda changes things a little, but not a lot. For what its worth, I didn't agree with my mother's rules and how she treated me. My last year I lived there I saw her briefly one day a week, no more. I got out of there very quickly after high school, and moved half way across the state. My little sister moved to NYC within a week of graduating high school. Her and I weren't really civil until I'd been out of the house for a couple years. These days I go visit maybe once a year (she comes up a couple times a year). If you want to have any kind of relationship with your daughter you need to learn to understand her. I'm not saying give in to her, but see if you can find a middle ground. I don't understand this respect thing you keep bringing up for one. Yeah, don't do the nasty in common areas, but what's wrong with the bedroom if its not bothering anyone? I'm sure very few people on here will claim to have been virgins on their 18th birthday. All that matters is being safe. It really sounds like she's trying to hit a nerve with you, provoke you. And its working. Sounds like there's something deeper going on here. It might be time to talk to your wife before this situation drives a wedge there too.

Getting asked for you fishing license would fall under official stop. DNR officers are absolutely LEOs. Yes, you would have to inform you are carrying under this circumstance.

Probably 10 handguns. One Saiga shotgun. 3 painted up shotguns, I think Mossys. Zero rifles. Three ancient looking break actions in the used rack. That's it. Most of their ammo is reman stuff, of course I didn't realize that until I got home with 2 boxes of it.

They had probably 4 of them cerakoted in different colors sitting in the case when I was there friday or saturday. They are also doing custom serial numbers too. Otherwise, their shelves were bare. Any idea whats going on with them?
-
By their logic anyone that shoots a handgun with both hands magically transformed their handgun into an AOW. Dumb dumb dumb
-
Then why are most of them designed to be disassembled?
-
Can't take it apart for cleaning, correct? Pros and cons of this?

This is the exact kind of info I was looking for, thanks. I think I'm going to hold out to see if there are any tax return sales since there has been in the past, but I'll certainly check them all out. Of the places you've mentioned I prefer dealing with Gun Envy. Good people that are helpful and fair. But I still won't spend any more than I have to.

Want to get an AAC Ti-Rant 45 can. I know Blackwing is a dealer, Bullet Ranch and Gun Envy can both sell them but dunno if either have any stock. I saw Paul's Marine carries stuff but at high prices. Anywhere else I should look before I just order it from Silencer Shop?

If you want to build points your best bet is Chase Ultimate Rewards. Start with a Freedom card, you can use the points for cash back. If you like to travel, then later get the Sapphire Preferred card so you can transfer those points to Southwest Airlines, Hyatt hotels and more. Make sure you hit the bonus categories every quarter on the Freedom card, its easy to do with buy gift cards that you can use anyway.

No sanding at all.

https://vzgrips.com/gun-grips/1911/operators/operatortm-hyena-brown-g10 I bought this set of grips new when I bought my 1911, it's had maybe 150 rounds through it, the rest of the time its been in the safe. Like new condition. They are for the fullsize frame with cuts for ambi safety. $50 firm.

I addressed this way earlier in the thread. Also, more people are killed by fists than any other single weapon in this country.

Unless they have 100 Mbps and all the extra movie channels that's still way over priced. 15 Mbps is plenty for streaming whatever. If they want sports, local channels and news you should do a trial run with an antenna. Here's a cheap one to try: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008KVUAGU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1OBLJ1TLZNI6L&coliid=I5R2KMO05DEJE There are websites that show where tv stations broadcast from so you can see what direction to aim it. Depending on where they live and what they want to watch there are also larger outdoor antennas. For streaming the new hotness is the Amazon fire stick. It does all the standard stuff like Netflix and Hulu but also Amazon prime, which opens up a lot of options for what to watch. Plus it's cheap.

Pretty much this. I'm primarily 9mm in everything I own. It's nice to only have to buy one caliber, and its a caliber that can be found anywhere from sub compact all the way to full size. I do have a couple .380's for deep concealment but they don't get shot often, and a 1911 in .45 that is a range toy and nothing more. At this point I'd almost consider trading it for a 9mm 1911 but that just wouldn't feel right. 9mm, .40 and .45 are all worthless for barrier penetration. .45 isn't the best for penetrating clothing. .357 SIG is pretty good for barrier penetration, and 10mm is just a big nasty round, without getting into rounds designed for revolvers. If you are in a situation where a 9mm isn't enough, then a .40 isn't enough, and a .45 isn't enough, and you need to move to a rifle.

Police use whatever is given to them at a super steep discount by whatever manufacturer is trying to push guns out the door that day, then sold Winchester Ranger T's that are very hard for us peasants to get. Texas was running .357 SIG and was talking of switching to 9mm, not sure if they went through with it or not. Ohio Highway Patrol uses Sigs, I think still in .40. Many other state police forces use .357 SIG. CPD carries M&Ps in .40 because S&W discontinued the .45 guns they issued for 15 years, and that was the closest thing to what they'd been using. Simply stating that .40 is a better self defense cartridge than whatever else is leaving a lot out. I would never say that .40 ball is better than 9mm Ranger T, or even one of the older hollowpoints like a Hydrashok. If you take a 9mm and .40 of the exact same brand and model, you will see a very small edge to the .40. But is it enough to overcome higher capacity, lower price, and an easier to shoot round? Not really. If you don't care about a higher capacity or price then you would get something better than either, like the .357 SIG or even a 10mm. .40 just doesn't really make sense, unless you simply like it. Hard to argue with that.
-
Ballistics of modern .40 VS modern 9mm self defense ammo is nearly identical. 9mm in the same size frame allows higher capacity, and ammo is cheaper.

In 30 years Marysville, Marion, Logan, Newark, London and West Jefferson will all just be another Columbus suburb. Route 23 will be a giant highway past Delaware. IF this rail system is set up with that in mind then it might make sense, along with connecting to Cinci and Cleveland of course. I don't see any of that happening, there simply isn't any money for it. Keep in mind there's still quite a bit of auto manufacturing in Ohio that would quickly lobby against it. I'm not saying rail would be a bad thing here. I just think it would be so difficult to achieve that it won't make it past the bureaucracy, or the tax payers, and there isn't any money in it so it won't be done by the private sector.

By and large this project would be paid for by Columbus residents. These people already have average incomes below state average: http://www.city-data.com/income/income-Columbus-Ohio.html It was a short year ago that they voted down adding another branch of the Columbus Zoo in the down town area, that was billed as a way to bring in additional revenue. The reason being that they are all tired of paying already high taxes. The people working high paying jobs don't live in Columbus, they live in the suburbs which are so spread out that it would make no sense trying to add another rail stop to every neighborhood. To include the suburbs at all, there would need to be a giant parking lot for ever suburb, assuming most people that work in downtown Columbus are on board. Where would these go? Next, where would the lines even run? From the suburbs to downtown, it would be insanely expensive to build underground due to sheer distance. You can't use existing lines that are currently in use hauling freight, it would be a logistical nightmare to keep trains from colliding. So you have to run new lines. One down, one back. Do all the highways have enough space beside them for these lines? Elevating them the entire way would be just as prohibitively expensive as buying them, and looks like shit. At some point, they would have to go underground. There is zero space in downtown Columbus for them above ground. Stops would have to be planned out within a couple blocks of each other, while avoiding existing underground garages, utilities, statehouse fallout shelter, etc. Much of this stuff is pretty damn old too, how good are the maps? The subways running in the US were largely built in the 40's, and aside from growth in NYC and surrounding areas, none have been built in the country since the 80's if not earlier. The existing subways began life as private commuter rail running steam powered trains and were later converted to run city owned local transport. These systems were mostly in place while the cities were in their early stages of growth, and were able to grow with the cities to fit their needs. The cities that have rail also have traffic so bad that driving makes no sense. I've been in traffic at 4 am on a saturday in NYC that was worse than ANY I've ever seen in Columbus. DC was built with horses in mind. LA is famed for not being able to get anywhere ever. Chicago is built up into a mountain that falls off a cliff into the lake. In these places, commuter rail makes complete sense, even more so since the foundation was set 100 years ago. Cincinnati is living proof of what happens when trying to add it to a city that has much lower population density per square mile. The money needed to get it anywhere runs out, and its abandoned. Tell me something; how many of you that want this to go forward live in Columbus and would be paying the hiked up taxes to have it built? I certainly don't. I don't even live in Franklin county. I could theoretically benefit from this, but really just don't see the point. cliffs - tl;dr

Can't afford a car, but can afford a $300,000+ house, got it.

Let me know if that happens with any decent grilles. Not looking for anything special, but not one of the low end ones that are lucky to last one season.

So they can go there and do what, exactly?
