    This:

    Term limits by themselves, will not solve everything.  But it is a damn good place to start and it certainly will rock the boat of the career politicians and the companies/groups that have 'bought' them.   I whole heatedly agree with this and IN fact I bring it up to everyone I know. 

    I just found out about this today, although it's from last year:

    Termlimits.org

  2. I agree things are getting strange/out of control/messed up... The questions are What do we do to correct it, and How do we go about doing it so as not to cause further harm? It's pretty much part of Saul Alinsky's handbook to sow discord, make the other side mad enough to do something about it, then blame them for being the "terrorists" and clamp down hard. We need to prevent or circumvent that from happening.

    I don't know how "we the People" make it happen, but I feel we NEED to get bill rammed through Congress to enact Term Limits. I figure the Republicans want the old Democrats out, and the Democrats want the old Republicans out, so there aught to be a way to get a bill on the ballot without any blockage from the people WE elected to do what WE need them to do... It would take one heckuva grass-roots effort to make it happen, though.

    Short is better for interior work, go ahead and cut it down to exactly 18"  You won't need a 4th port, you can enlarge the 3 ports, and it only needs to be a very slight amount

    If you plan to thread the barrel for a muzzle brake or anything, I'd probably cut it to 18 1/2" just in case you need to trim a little off the end for finishing. Also to "remove all doubt" about it being legal, should it come to that.

  4. I work retail at a supply store, also an "essential business." It's been pandelerium for the past week! Every single day of the last seven we have FAR exceeded sales from last year's Black Friday. My days haven't changed at all- go to work, go to the store. We did get a pick up order from a restaurant we would normally eat-in, still good food.  :)

    I do make sure to wash my hands thoroughly before heading home, at least. I certainly don't want my 80-yr-old Mom to catch it somehow. Her health is generally good, but we share a house now because she has had some issues in the past.

    I also carry far more regularly than I used to, and have my lil' Shockwave in the car now, too. I wish there was some kind of speed-loader for it, though.

  5. Their websites are both gone and redirect to Remington.com.

    From TTAG website:

    UPDATE: a dealer friend of ours received an email today from distribution giant RSR Group notifying them of the following:

        Remington Outdoor Company informed RSR at the SHOT Show that they will be focusing on their core hunting and shooting brands – AAC, Barnes, Marlin and Remington. Bushmaster, DPMS, StormLake Barrels and Tapco will no longer be produced, with the exception of the Bushmaster BA50.
  6. I thought The Last Jedi was so bad it didn't deserve a follow-up. I will not pay to see this last one. I might watch it "free" when it comes to Disney+ (which I'm not paying for, either).

    Agreed on the "PC" version of Star Wars. I was a long-time fan of the originals. I should say, the "original" trilogy, before Lucas went nuts and started editing and re-editing them. I wish I could still find a copy of the ORIGINAL trilogy, as it was shown in the theaters (the FIRST time). Mine were on VHS, and long-since worn out.  :(

  7. I hear a lot of politicians harping about "Red Flag" laws that "should" be enacted...

    Okay then, how'z about this... Do you sometimes get mad about things while driving? Maybe cursed at or flipped-off another driver? Do you have alcoholic beverages in your house? Well then, you're obviously going to be involved in a road-rage or drunk-driving incident at some unknown point in the future, so we're just going to impound your vehicle until "we" decide you're not really a menace to society.

    And by the way, you don't have a Constitutional Right to own a vehicle, so there won't be any lawyers or protestors on your side. Sounds like a "common sense" law for the greater good, don't it? Have fun with that.  😈

  8. Well said, Jerry. Not sure what to do about it, either.  :(

    I live near Dayton, and I've been to the Oregon District a couple of times. I don't go there very often, though. I have a Black Belt, and nearly 30 years worth of martial arts and meditation training and found that is one of the best ways to teach people how to deal with stress, life and attaining goals. Unfortunately martial arts training has been lumped-in with hunting and shooting sports, and when the stores stupidly pulled all the gun magazines (reading materials), they also pulled the martial arts magazines from the shelves.

  9. I was looking for a good, small carry pistol for deep concealment and hot summertime carry. Picked up a Taurus Spectrum .380, just got it out to the range today. It shoots well for it's size, I like it!

    Recoil is easy to manage with this one due to the shape and very low centerline of the barrel over the hand. I did have some light primer strikes in the first 50 rounds with Blazer and PMC Bronze ammo, but with the Taurus just pull the trigger again and they fired the second time. (Second-Strike capable) Otherwise, function was flawless. Accuracy very good for me, too. I have hand tremors, and the long, smooth pull seems to help me keep it on-target.

    I ran 10 rounds of Hornady Critical Defense ammo through it (5 in each mag.)- they ran GREAT! Very accurate with no problems at all!

    After I get more rounds through it for break-in, and to verify no more light-strikes, I think this will be a great carry gun for what I was looking for.  :)

  10. For the record, PA (like NY and a few others) is NOT a "Blue" state. It's a Red state that has to suffer through all the crap forced upon them by the Blue hordes in a few big cities in that state. I know many people from NY who would be ecstatic if they could just wall off everything east of I-295 so they could live a good life in the real world.

    Everyone I grew up with in PA, just east of Pittsburgh, is most definitely Republican.

  11. Now that they're "officially" legal in Ohio, I picked up a Mossberg 590 Shockwave in .410. Bought a few boxes of ammo, too, and even found a box of #4 shot!  :)

    Now I just need a place to shoot it... Getting tough around here to do patterning and target shooting with a shotgun. Just a few clays-ranges around here. I can shoot slugs at the indoor ranges, at least.

  12. Some of the smarter guys will have to chime in, but I don't think the manufacturer has the customer lists, that would be the retailers. They're not required to keep lists of accessories, just the firearm serial numbers. There is no "list" that I know of.

    I still think this issue will wind up in the courts, and when the do deem this silliness as Unconstitutional, then you won't feel so good about cutting it up.
