And again, my “story” is simply a possible explanation, not the definitive truth of how it all went down. I was just trying to make sense of it. The likelihood the pistol survived my driveway, only to drop in the street is pretty slim, and nobody wanders into a gated yard to find a pistol in a...
The something that occurred very memorable, was the old man having a panicked meltdown about the urgency in having me install a door to his room (a studio across from the breezeway that divides the house, because sometimes one of the dogs cries in her sleep and it interferes with his 16 hours of...
I have 3 kids age 8 (twins) and 6. I work up to 12 hours a day with an app on my phone that monitors every time I sneeze sideways and reports it to my employer, 7 days a week. The house is falling apart and needs constant maintenance. The old lady’s elderly father who lives with us, is rapidly...
Please explain. We took this land by right of conquest. Love it or hate it, that’s how things were done back then. This land wasn’t an established country, under one system of governance, with a flag and given set of established rules the people lived under.
It was untamed frontier where the...
In response to the OP, they’ll only bus them again to another conservative district in order to alter the voting demographic, or they’ll “emigrate” to said districts of their own accord. The best and only viable policy is closed borders. Stay out. Period. If they weren’t willing to fix their own...
I’m lucky enough my first and last name are incredibly rare, so I’m in the door and out again, 30 minutes tops.
I agree with your sentiment of avoiding the paperwork though. I’m a private citizen and it’s none of their business what I may or may not have.
No better reason than it’s a knockout and feels really good in the hand. I’ve done quite a bit of the work already on the stock, metal surfaces and bolt. I think at this point it’s probably time to let it go. I just thought I’d make one last ditch effort to nail down a lead before I threw in the...
I enjoyed the levity here but to be honest, I had less than a mag through the new slide and maybe less than a handful through the original. I bought a 1911 pretty soon after the Glock and had a lot more fun shooting it, then after the slide change, it was to “pretty” (by Glock standards) too...
My honest, objective assessment is this:
I pulled the pistol from the safe to inspect it for potential cleaning. Somehow, I ended up with it out by the car and was distracted. Maybe the distraction pulled me out to the car. I laid it on the hood and forgot about it. The only place I went that...
The notification for tests came via phone call, roughly 15 minutes after my first station visit to fill out paperwork. A woman called and said the checks would need to be done and to expect a call to pick up at the time of completion. It’s highly likely she was relaying procedure and didn’t...
I know it would hurt to see, but I would demand physical proof it was “destroyed as an illegal weapon.” Call me cynical, but more likely it’s gracing some cops mantlepiece with new barrels. Fortunately this was just a gen 3 Glock 17. Nothing special. It had a bunch of aftermarket modifications...
Just that, and the reason I titled Stolen/Missing. I really don’t know. I had it one day and noticed it missing the very next. I’ve been under a great deal of stress lately and there are holes in my memory. I can’t recall anything related to the pistol between me pulling it out of the safe and...
I would be a fool to accept. Nothing else adds up, and I’m petty enough to believe it’s political, too. But why destroy the mag and torch? Everything was kaput. Why not chop the frame and be done with it? And where did the slide go? “No information.”
Has anyone heard of anybody making Mosin barrels in the original length and profile? Installation services? I know it’s not cost effective and the question has probably been asked 100 times in the past 15 years, but I have a longstanding project to refinish and refresh one of these for the old...
That was my question as well. The woman I spoke with claimed to have no information. In fact, “No information” was the programmed response to my questions for all four of the “individuals” I spoke with from the first time I walked in, to the last time I walked out. It’s hard to believe whoever...
McChip with the Shooting Star followers are all I own (in 8rd) aside from factory mags. Wilson’s are universally regarded as the best, but I’ve never tried them. Not for that price (and the ugly slot windows in the tube).
First Pistol I ever bought came up missing a few weeks back. Sheriff’s Dep made a few calls and found it had been turned in to the SBPD. So I mosey on in and fill out some paperwork. I’m told a ballistics test needs to be performed, to determine if said pistol was used in any crimes, and a...
