To further add to the mix, a considerable amount of the criminal element are now painting the tips of their ‘Real Weapons’ with an orange tip. It’s easy to understand their reasoning. Once again, Law Enforcement find themselves in a deeper hole. Ironically, if this criminal who has no criminal record and is allowed to own this weapon in the first place, there is no law preventing him from painting the tip of his real gun orange in the attempt to make it appear as a toy.
You would think that this would be the end. Not so.
We also have several so called law abiding citizens complete with Concealed Carry Permits who are also painting the tips of their weapons orange. The worst offender is an individual named Leonard Embody.

Dependable too, I have one made in 1914 and it still shoots like it came from the factory yesterday.
Ive got a Remington 870.
I aint that impressed with it.
It takes to much thinkin. I hate the way they have the safety on the forward part of the trigger and that it must be released with each cycle
Diabolical, ain’t it?
Ugly as sin, but they work
My RBL-16 from Connecticut Shotgun. Nice wood, eh?
That is purty.
Fine work done here...http://colegun.com/
I have a Mossberg 500, and for me, a non-hunter, everything is intuative, especially the location and operation of the safety. I keep a shell in the chamber, a simple, quiet slide of the safety and I’m in business.
I got it with the silver matte finish. I want to be able to see it at night.
The cure for crossbolt safetys (old skeet shooters trick) is to drill and tap the trigger guard, and put a set screw in to hold it in the off position.
One of the things I like about the Russian Saiga 12 is that all you do is pull back the bolt and go.
Also, I like that it can be unloaded with the of a finger.
Yep.
I've thought of making modifications but I have no tactical need to do so.
So far I've always had the requisite 5 seconds to unfold the thing.
I could either shave down the flange on the selector or carve
a niche into the support arm. Not too keen on either option.
Well that makes sense, and I can do that kind of work but I hate to mess with original designs.
I like to be able to bring things back to original.
Yeah, I was the Lone Ranger - showed up to school dressed like him on Halloween back in ‘62. Gun and gunbelt too. About 5 other kids did the same thing. We were all arrested and violently thrown to the ground by the police and screamed at not to move. One of us sneezed and they all shot him. Then we were strip searched - body cavity and all.
Oh, wait - that’s right - it was 1962. The school authorities and police weren’t a bunch of sissy bedwetting barking moonbats trying to prove that society is better off if 2nd graders are thrown in jail for behaving like 2nd graders.
In 1958 the biggest problems teachers reported having with students were: running in the halls, talking in class, chewing gum, getting out of place in the lunch line.
In 1988 (22 years ago) the biggest problems teachers reported having with students were: drugs, physical abuse of teachers, rape, murder, gang warfare, arson.
In 1958 kids bringing rifles to school was not uncommon. They’d hand them over to their gym teacher and later would have rifle practice - like their parents, grandparents and great grandparents did. They had rifle clubs and competition back then - even in New York City!
I maintain that this country has moved in the wrong direction. The dems and liberals maintain that we haven’t moved far enough in that direction - after all - somewhere some children are playing dodgeball, and counting the score in soccer games and those children are learning to compete and win and even learn from losing. And therefore little Johnny or Danny might get his little feelings hurt.
Personally, I think it’s better if little Johnny or Danny learn some lessons early about losing rather than grow up getting a trophy for everything and then move on out into the real world and be the first ones to get eaten!
Not only losing because they are psychologically ill equipped to compete, but also because they are nearly illiterate. I was amazed at how much my parents remembered and learned in school - and I was astounded when I saw some of the elementary school primers that their parents learned from. Today, corporations and businesses don’t even bother calling up high schools and asking them what they’re teaching their students, they just accept the fact that they have to retrain them in basic math and reading skills.

Nothing new. This was pointed out in GUN WEEK newspaper about 25 years ago when this crap was started by Handgun Control Inc (The Brady bunch).
I was in a gift store yesterday and there were several rubber band “rifles” made of wood. Cutouts, sanded, not painted. WOOD! Each had a red tip on the end of the “barrel”.
Impressive...
Truth be known, if I should ever be forced to employ my concealed weapon then I hope the last thing the attacker sees is a series of flashes followed sharply by booms and the sounds of tinkling brass.....
Well.. same to you buddy! ;-)
Wise acre.
