      HB 142 - Rights Restoration

      I thought this was about rights restoration after expungment? If that's the case, it takes a decade of no criminal activity (at least felonies, I don't know if it includes misdemeanors) to have expungement considered, unless they're changing that too in this bill. Sent from iPhone...

      Opinions/Experiences on AK47 rifles?

      The RAS rifles are having problems due to MIM and cast parts. If you're looking for a basic akm, look around for Cugir offerings (WASR 10, OH 10). If you're willing to spend more, DDI has some great offerings, and use Green Mountain nitrided barrels. Sent from iPhone. Inconsequential word may...

      Army developing air-conditioned helmet for soldiers

      That's a very good point. If the main idea of the helmet is to stop heat stroke, then I can see the merit. It would still be more effective against heat stroke to keep the core temp down, especially because it'd be hard to cool blood almost to the brain already (neck and up) that is traveling as...

      Army developing air-conditioned helmet for soldiers

      So it's just a helmet... To keep your face and head cool... And does nothing to keep your body, and with it your core temp, cool? Sent from iPhone. Inconsequential word may have been left to die on editing floor.

      Cat saves boy from vicious dog attack

      Nope. It affects brain tissue and brain dissection is so far the only way to check for rabies outside of observation for symptoms. Sent from iPhone. Inconsequential word may have been left to die on editing floor.

      [Q UOTE=madwabbit;1379493]that cat gets the internet bamf of the week award. hope they fed it fresh tuna and a jug of milk. and why is the dog "under observation" and not "under ground" Under observation incase he's rabid, but observation also normally means at least the municipality...

      Anyone photoshop?

      I second Lightroom if the plan is just to correct the photos. If the plan is to modify elements inside the photo, I'd go photoshop. Sent from iPhone. Inconsequential word may have been left to die on editing floor.

      Quick question about buffers/buffer tubes.

      Start off with a regular weight buffer. The heavier buffers and springs are there to address issues with timing (like if the system is over gassed). If you start putting in heavy buffers and/or springs, you might induce malfunctions. That said, if you want to try it out and see if it improves...

      VIDEO: The "Easy Fire Starting" tool does exactly that!

      I like to have magnesium and a ferro rod for a last ditch, just in case. That doesn't mean I don't also have several lighters, matches, and fuel in there as well. Sent from iPhone. Inconsequential word may have been left to die on editing floor.

      Why is a $3K 1911 better than a $389 Glock 19?

      I disagree. Those companies you mentioned make fitted pistols. That's something you can't do with a production gun. The 1911 is more or less a craftsman's pistol and it's hard to get a consistent operation out of them with mass produced, slapped together parts. That said, I still couldn't bring...

      Obama says death penality has problems including racial bias

      Problems with the old ways were the hangman would sometimes "accidentally" adjust the knot wrong and there'd be a dancer instead of a hanger. Firing squads sometimes also didn't quite aim to kill immediately. Moving along, the electric chair was proposed by Thomas Edison in an attempt to...

      Obama says death penality has problems including racial bias

      First place I heard it was in Jackie Brown, from Sam Jackson's character. Also the source of my favorite movie line of all time. Sent from iPhone. Inconsequential word may have been left to die on editing floor.

      Obama says death penality has problems including racial bias

      It's to make the people watching feel better. I find the more the execution method improves the more it looks less traumatic to the viewer, but is more traumatic to the person being killed. I'm not terrifically find of execution because of the chance innocent people can be convicted and killed...

      reloading ammo in the shed?

      It might not be the best idea to put highly flammable material in such an enclosed place. Is it an airtight safe, and do you keep other things in there? Sent from iPhone. Inconsequential word may have been left to die on editing floor.

      Thermal Imaging Scope

      As a lot of other folk have said, if your goal is home defense then you'd be better served with a RDS and weapon light and the training to be able to use the system effectively. A thermal sight on a defensive weapon will not give you the positive ID you'd need to confidently engage someone...
