    SWAT hit on wrong house update

    I'm more inclined to think this is somebody got sloppy and didn't catch when the suspect was last known at the address. Whether that crosses the Brady/Giglio legal threshold for the case overall I cannot say.

    When delivery drivers foul up

    We have a habit here of not putting steaming hot cars in the garage. We wait until it's dark and they've cooled off some. It's a Vegas thing. My wife came home at 1700 the other day, parking outside the house and coming in through the front door. Just before 2200 she remembered her car was...

    FN Mauser and a High Standard

    FN Mausers are generally well made. My Mexican Model 1924 short rifle has a very smooth action.

    SWAT hit on wrong house update

    Yes, she was away. Her security system alerted her to movement at the front of the home. She connected to her cameras and they recorded the SWAT vehicle with the big arm setting up to attack the garage door. After that it all went blank when her cameras were shot out by some means.

    SWAT hit on wrong house update

    Good news, Las Vegas Metro have stepped up and said they will pay for the repairs to the house they trashed looking for a suspect. Recall that the guy had sold the home five years ago. Damage is estimated to be a minimum of $25k, including destroying the garage door and just about every entryway...

    Federal appeals court halts New Mexico's seven-day gun waiting period, says it's 'likely' unconstitutional

    So the seller has to be judge and jury on who gets their gun now or later while avoiding avoiding a discrimination lawsuit. Ye-e-e-es. Good luck with that. As for the sane world, that went away some time ago.

    Aircraft pictures from Twitter/X

    Still scratching my head about the F-100 with "NAVY" painted on it.

    Federal appeals court halts New Mexico's seven-day gun waiting period, says it's 'likely' unconstitutional

    I may not agree with what you say on new gun law, but you sure hit the nail on the head with your Nuclear Family comments. Late wife #1's family came from Iowa, and the people up there were always telling me about their perfect Mayberry style life from the 60s and even 70s. Apply some alcohol...

    Aluminum Case Ammo

    I've used .357 Blazer Aluminum in my 686. Yes, extraction is a little stickier than with most brass rounds, but I'm not into speed games so I don't care. When it comes to semi-autos, rifles and pistols, if the gun is having issues with aluminum or steel, I agree that it is likely an issue with...

    I guess Pete's Smudge didn't make it to a reasonable hour Pacific time.

    PMC .380 JHP

    I would be surprised if 95gr 380 in a blowback gun gave you much less recoil than 115 gr 9mm in a pistol using a locked breech system. What was the 9mm pistol and ammo you used to qualify? How are you doing with racking a semi-auto? For easy racking and low recoil, there are a couple of...

    Federal appeals court halts New Mexico's seven-day gun waiting period, says it's 'likely' unconstitutional

    No idea. I wouldn't open carry in a city/town in NM anyway. Too many characters that look good for a gun grab in my view.

    Federal appeals court halts New Mexico's seven-day gun waiting period, says it's 'likely' unconstitutional

    Yes, you are only allowed to carry one concealed weapon at a time in New Mexico. It's the sort of thing you discover when checking reciprocity before traveling. The other "gotcha" is whether you are required to inform an officer that you are armed at first contact. Mind you, I think it is a...

    Uniform Hat/Cap

    MacArthur was a copycat. Idiot First Class Admiral Sir David Beatty set the standard before that. Note hands in pockets.

    Beretta and Gersun .380 "Tip Up" Barrel Pistols

    Nope. The Beretta 92 uses a pivoting locking block to keep the breech closed as your fire.

    Nevada has been hacked

    Seems that it was a full-on ransomware attack. No firm dates on when the affected services will be back up. I have a vehicle registration coming up, so hopefully it won't be too long.

    Rossi M885

    I don't know if I'm an outlier, but I don't consider the money I might get at resale when I buy a gun. This might be because I do my best not to overpay. I'm sure this attitude has cost me the chance of grabbing a real collectible, but usually these have been online sales where sometimes it is...

    Bring Back Mental Institutions

    GnarlsR2 mentioned the stigma of treatment. Read this piece on a case in the UK where the father refused treatment for his girl. She has now gone away for 15 years. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ceqye7n8l88o

    Except that the whole MGM setup got breached a couple of years back.
