    CCW Belt

    C5 Leather gun belt. Love the thing.
  2. Yes, because some 2000 year old religious drivel writing is always right....
  3. No. The appellate process for a death sentence is more costly than life in prison. That is also a needed balance, because without it you run the risk of executing a innocent person. Life in prison without the possibility of parole removes all hope of ever getting out. If the crime is really heinous, lock them in solitary for the whole time. They'll go crazy and kill themselves in a few months of never talking to other people or seeing the outside. Problem solved. Or the airdrop into Afghan idea...
  4. Insurance companies don't negate the constitution, but they do have standards that they require of those they insure. If their clients don't follow those standards, they get dropped. Also, Ohio is a right-to-work state. That means whatever policies the company puts forth, the worker follows them or can be fired for no other reason other than that. Not that I agree with those policies, but I do expect this exact reaction. I carried at my store I worked at prior to the service and I knew if I had to draw the weapon I was getting fired. If they don't fire him, they might as well remove the no firearms at work policy, and then they get their insurance dropped and/or their owner gets his panties in a wad because there are guns in his store.

    Who's going?

    I wish that video used something more like "Peacefully and legally protest" rather than "Raise hell". People are stupid, and they need proper direction. I'd be there if I was in my home state. Or if the capital here was less than 3 some hours away.
  6. Hell yea. Go take up a collection and enroll your favorite liberal.
  7. Yea, they suck for raising prices, but you can't really blame them. They are one of the only places still selling high-cap mags. If you don't like the price, don't buy from them. I'm sure someone will buy those for that crazy price, which effectively makes it market price.... I've got extra PMags, and I doubt I'd ever sell the extras. If I did I'd put a high sticker on them too. But I'm a dirty filthy capitalist, as long as I'm not selling to friends.
  8. It is a good thought, but I'm not a fan of it. IMO, if a personal sale does a background check to verify the buyer is legal, there also needs to be a transfer of ownership in the registration. The serial needs to follow the new buyer, and not stay with the seller. I agree that the country is too sensitive and mental problems are rampant. This information needs to be reported immediately. No more sealing of mental health records. If you are taking ANY drug that significantly alters your mental state, that should factor into your background check. Hell yes. Well said. Training is one of the most important parts. You need to develop the skills used to properly work the firearm, which require repetitive action and muscle memory. CCW training is laughable. 10 hours of classroom instruction and shooting at a silhouette at 7 feet proves you're not a moron. Police officers and MPs could potentially be exempted from the training courses. That still leaves a void where they don't know the specific laws of the area and CPZs. Military training is all about combat in a combat zone, and working as a unit. This style of combat is not the same as solo daily carry in civilian populace. ROE and EOF aren't applicable in CCW situations. The average soldier gets a rifle; only officers usually are assigned pistols. The CCW trainees need to demonstrate proficiency with their selected weapon system. It is a responsibility to carry a weapon, because you have a duty to defend yourself and others. However, you also have to make the right decisions in those instances based on all factors involved. CCW training should be a full day of situational shooting (Drawing from a holster, firing from cover, moving and shooting, etc), and another day of psychological training and law coverage. A mental health exam should also be required. Reciprocity agreements across the board would be wonderful, but it will never happen. The laws would have to be exactly the same. That would require agreement from all states as to laws and CPZs, which CA/NY/IL... will never agree to. The federal government will also never agree to a bill for the entire US. Nope. Death penalty is the easy way out. Life in prison in solitary with no chance for parole forces them to do nothing but think about what they did until they die. Not to mention the appeals process is more costly than feeding a prisoner for life. I personally like the idea of dressing them in western clothing with anti-Islam messages, and air dropping them in NE Afghan. Agreed. I also like the idea used in VA where if a crime is committed with a weapon your jail sentence is carried out on the other side of the country. It won't scare the shooters. Most go in there with intent to kill themselves once cornered. Need a true scare tactic, like if captured alive, we torture you to death. Or ship you to Afghan. + Background checks through FFLs. Not ideal but it makes sure ownership and registration is correct and follows the right owner. Unseal and report mental health records. Create a functional system for all felonies/mental records that can be quickly accessed and is constantly updated. - AWB is stupid. The type of weapon isn't to blame. The nut jobs will use anything they can to accomplish their task. 10rd mags are stupid. I can change a mag while staying on target in about .5 seconds. This will have no effect. Of course, all gun laws will only effect law abiding citizens. So this is all a moot point anyways.
  9. I'd expect a recommendation for an executive order on Tuesday. I'd expect it to ban high cap mags (Stupid and aggravating), and force background checks for all firearm sales (Not a bad thing). The tree-hugging liberals will introduce a bill that could aim to ban any number of things from all semis to specific characteristics. Hopefully this will not pass.
  10. The standard FSB should not get in the way unless you have a really short gas tube. You likely will end up having to mount the scope to co-witness the FSB in order to get a comfortable cheek weld. You can also replace the FSB with a railed gas block.
  11. The front sight is half of the BUIS. There is a front and a rear sight that you line up. Some rifles come with a gas block (The thing under your front sight) that has a Picatinny rail in place of the fixed front sight. This allows a clear FOV (Field of Vision) for optics, while still letting the operator mount a flip-up BUIS for SHTF situations. The iron sights do not have to match, but they do have to line up properly. The front sight has to work with the rear for a good sight picture.
  12. Can you please list off your exact diet and exercise plan prior and during this test?
  13. Whether they are legal or not, no. A headlight's purpose is to illuminate the road ahead of you, so why do you want to reduce that effect? Not to mention it is your biggest defense to getting run over at night. Planning on diluting that too? The tinting will bring the HIDs down to below halogen light levels usually. And the non-ricer color temperature you're looking for is 4300K. $150 for a headlight is cheap in the terms of maintenance costs. If you can't afford to play, sell the bike.
  14. My buddy uses one of the PAs and we've never had a problem with it. But shooting .22lr to 100yds is pretty easy and not too scope specific.
  15. Optic - Sighting device. Normally refers to reflex, scopes, etc. Reflex/Red Dot - Displays a reticule on a single pane. No magnification, but very fast to acquire target. Scope - Fixed or variable magnification in a tube design. Good for target identification and shot placement at distance. Slow to acquire. Eye relief - Distance your eye has to be away from the sight to view properly through it. BUIS - Back Up Iron Sights - Flip up iron sights to use as a secondary sighting source if primary optic fails. Co-witness - When the BUIS line up directly with the optic. Allows BUIS to be used during a primary failure without removing the primary optic. Fiber Optic - Used to collect light during the day to power illuminated reticules. Tritium - Form of hydrogen gas that glows in low-light conditions. Used to illuminate sights at night. Has a half-life of ~7 years, after which the sights dim. CQ/CQB/CQC - Close range combat. (Close Quarters, Close Quarters Battle, Close Quarters Combat) ACOG - Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight, made by Trijicon. Low power scopes powered by Fiber/Tritium. Brands - EOTech, Aimpoint, LWRCI, Meprolight, Trijicon, etc. Was the golf ball launcher mounted underneath the barrel in a tube? If so it was a form of the M203 40mm grenade launcher.
  16. At the moment it is still for sale. That is mainly because I'm not back in Columbus until Friday. I've got a few people waiting to try it on. Send me a PM and we'll arrange a time if you're interested too.
  17. Yes, I added two springs to the trem (5 total). The additional pressure from the higher gauge strings (.11s tuned in Drop C) would require the claw to be cranked way down, making adjustment difficult. This keeps spring tension consistent and easy to adjust.
  18. I don't have any extra amps, specifically bass amps. I would also recommend a good set of headphones (AKG K240). I use a POD HD500, so a lot of the time I don't even turn on the amp.
  19. All the current specs match the 1998 PS2s (Only 24 fret Performer other than the Reverse version of this), but I only checked one year. I think it's stock though. Back plate is like $15 bucks. I reset the spring tension when I re-tune so I never bothered getting one. Yes, it was bought used. I just fixed and cleaned it up. Dinky body shape, Performer guitar. Nice fast neck reminds me of Dinky though. I'll include a soft shell case for the right price. I'm out of extra hard shell cases. Let me know if you have any more questions, I'll happily answer them.
  20. Hardware is all black save the tuning keys. Not sure why they didn't bother matching them. Thanks.
