$0.35 a round for blanks!

All other things being equal, it's likely that you could then defend against the knife with lethal force, as the knife is a lethal weapon and you would be within your rights to use a lethal defense. The person who pulled the knife on you cannot claim self-defense, as a single punch to the nose...

The cop who was fired and is now charged with wanton endangerment was outside in the parking lot, firing blindly without a target. I believe (stress "believe", not "know") that he fired into multiple apartments in the process. If that's the case, I have no problems charging a police officer...

Might be a long wait. The guy who's going to trial is going for wanton endangerment for firing blindly from the parking lot outside into one or more apartments, hitting no one in the process. Who shot Ms. Taylor and where she was shot likely won't enter into it.

Both of my recent orders from TS have come within 2 business days of order. Hell, they've got so little stuff in stock that the shipping guys are probably spending more time playing bocce than working.

For those of us who've lost our decoder ring, WhoTF is Larry?

Hey, think of it as a replacement this year to constantly sitting online / on the phone trying to get Sox playoff / WS tickets.

I was bitching to my wife last night that if I go down to the outdoor range and shoot 50 rounds of 5.56, it costs $30. She said to live with it, it's still cheaper than a round of golf.

Looks like that came from the abstracts, but note that the wording in his quote says a "possess .... a LOADED rifle or shotgun". If you're unloaded, it would seem that his quote leaves you in the clear.

It's just depressing. Torn between "How much???" and "But, I just like shooting my 5.56 so damn much!" I was especially bemused by this line on the page: "223 Remington ammo made by Hornady is inexpensive target & practice ammunition."

The EP interpret it as being lawfully engaged in hunting only if the shotgun is unloaded while you're on or within 150' of the road. Yes, the law doesn't read that way, but that's apparently the way they treat it.

Among the things I know that you can't do in Massachusetts are openly carrying an uncased rifle with or without ammunition on a public way, firing a rifle or other firearm within 150 feet of a road or 500 feet of an occupied house, carry a loaded rifle within 150 feet of a road while hunting...

The Remington 147 grain HTP ran fine in my P938 until I got lazy and slagged off on cleaning for a few trips to the range. Once the gun was dirty, I had 8 fail to function while shooting a box of 50 rounds.

Is 'cover' a euphemism for something else? ;)

They have the 1000 round .223 bulk boxes as well. But that's way more 5.56 than I shoot in several years.
