Okay, I think I am understanding it a little better now. Would it be like sitting at my dining room table and flicking a marble at a wine glass and watching the glass break, and flicking an orange at an identical wine glass and watching it just push the glass away slowly? The marble being the...

Let's say you were to fire a full powered rifle round at a small mammal or varmint, from the footage I have seen it seems that the animal often "explodes". So if every action has an equal and opposite reaction, why doesn't your shoulder explode? When the small animal does "explode" is it from...

Couldn't you buy a "lower half"? Since it already has the stock it would not be considered a potential pistol and could be sold to those between the ages of 18 and 20.

Isn't the current trend for smaller pocket pistols with less capacity? I think your rant is a few decades too late.

They seem to be highly praised on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-R-01526-Electronic-Earmuff/dp/B001T7QJ9O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313265868&sr=8-1

No, I understand that simple as day, it just seems as though that would be a question a casual observer may have. Not necessarily if it was legal but it seems as though a lot of people have the mindset that "no ones steals from me and gets away with it". Hasn't there been instances where...

Here's another question, hypothetically if the attendants had taken an item from the car, would the men who were victims of that crime be legally justified in attacking the suspects with their fists, a bicycle, and a shovel?

I feel like in legal regards the only thing we can comment on is the fact that the camera was there. Well...and it might be worth considering that the victim who used lethal force in his defense did so with a "home made knife" according to this news piece, does that say anything about our...

Two men (father and son) attacked two parking lot attendants after an item went missing from their car. One of the parking lot attendants used a knife to defend himself and his attacker (the son) succumbed to the injuries. Link to a local news piece with a clip of the incident...

Looks like the same cat in these pics: http://i.imgur.com/5Ehpb.jpg

This thread on Northeast Shooters (2nd page) seems to suggest that other towns besides Boston (Lawrence) have similar local ordinances: http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/threads/37516-MA-Knife-Carry-Law Well, I have cancelled the order on the Cold Steel Mini Lawman (at no cost). I am...

I ended up ordering the Cold Steel Mini Lawman @$50 for him. Now we just need to wait until it arrives to see if the finger grooves fit him. It seemed a bit expensive for what it is. Was the knife a good purchase? I could always return it. http://www.coldsteel.com/americanlawman.html

Thanks for the suggestion guys, but both of those blades are over 2.5" in length. It looks like Spyderco will soon be releasing a sister blade to the Persistence under 2.5" but it's not out yet. I happend to find this helpful forum post that lists a bunch of folding knives under the required...

I am looking for a knife for my Dad. He plans on carrying it. Some towns and cities around here have ordinances that all carried knives be under 2.5" in length. So he needs a smaller knife, but he really wants a larger sized grip, something to really grab onto. He did not seem to like my SOG...

The Draco pistol is what it is because of laws. No one thought "Hmm, I want to design an effective small arm." and came up with the Draco pistol. They designed it to sell as a range toy to the American civilian consumer. It has serious drawbacks in its design and use in order to be able to sell...
