    Constitutionality of mapping

    Indeed. It's that "depending on how" bit that makes all the difference. That and the actual details of the scheme, of course. Apologies to all for the distraction. I'll look into another thread if one gets brewing on the specific topic of the LAPD plan. For clarity, I will adivse that my...

    Constitutionality of mapping

    Titan6 Did the poster to whom you are responding use the word "mosques" or "muslims"? Your reply regarding the number of muslims (5million) seems to suggest that you read it as "muslims". I don't think that you are trying to suggest that there are 50k (let along 5 million) mosques in the US...

    Rifleman's Basic Load in WWI?

    Just an educated guess, but I'd say about 100 rounds. Figure 5 rounds of 30-06 in each clip, perhaps as many as 20 individual strippers... I *think* the basic load for the rifleman in WWII was 160 rds. I would ASSume that the WWI load would be less. I reckon this isn't much help, but what...

    SHTF Shotgun.

    I think a 12ga in a short-ish bbl format is one of the most practical, flexible firearms you can have. We are pretty lucky that technology is such that there are a bunch of good guns out there. I have an M2 and like it so far, but an 870 is in my future too.

    Constitutionality of mapping

    Would the question of the constitutionality (or even the "morality"- for lack of a better word) of the the mapping process be altered if the protected class did not drill down to individual level? Sticking with the gun mapping model, how would this question be answered: What if the "map"...

    Any reason not to buy a Sig 228 CPO?

    The only reason not to go CPO is if you find a non-CPO gun that has some interesting history or sweet pricing! CPO guns are usually given new springs, grips, finish, and sometimes new sights, IIRC. I've seen CPO guns, including some old 226's, that looked to be NIB (albeit a red box!). The...

    HK guys, in here please

    Hey Dude! I sold my USP9 to fund my P7. Still, I shot the snot out of that sucker ( and my USP45, but as noted, that gun has metal mags) and had no issues with the mags. I did a fair bit of dropping the mags too. They never cracked. I'm sure it's possible if you drop them a lot, but...

    Gun You Just Can't Live Without?

    I think it'd be a tie between my 228 or my AR. I live in CA, so a real honest-to-goodness AR is kinda special. Like others here who've mentioned selling MP-5's and such, I once sold a nice FAL, thinking that I'd be able to get another. Live and learn...:banghead:

    I have a Sig 226, will I like the Beretta M9?

    I don't know. I like the 226 okay ( I love the 228- best 9mm DA/SA platform ever, IMO!) and the Beretta is dead sexy. Still, the controls on the slide really bother me. I think they get in the way during aggressive manipulations and drills involving gross motor skills and stuff. Also, the big...
