Absolutely. And even if they don't ask, or if you refuse and they conduct a search anyway, on the side of the road at 2am really isn't the best place to debate probable cause with the local PD. Clearly state "I do not consent to a search" loudly enough to be sure it's picked up by the dash cam...

Been there. I was a teenager at the time, and it was a blatant fishing expedition on the part of my local PD. I was asked to exit the vehicle, and I complied. They asked if they could search my vehicle, I politely refused. Then they said that if I wouldn't consent to a search, they would detain...

5-10 minimum. After that, more.

SBR, 300 BLK, side folding or telescoping stock, ability to fire in folded position, approx. 18" OAL, provisions for mounting modern optics & other accessories, reliable operation with sub/supersonic ammo in un/suppressed configuration. First reputable manufacturer to bring it to market gets my...

I almost bought a Manix 2 XL for EDC, but I prefer tip down carry. Went with the Spyderco Military instead. R

I used chalk to trace my gear and an electric carving knife to make the cuts. Works fairly well if you have a steady hand, though I'm sure there are better ways. R

I have a 1750. Big, heavy, awkward, unweildy, indestructable. It was absolutely worth the money; this case will probably outlive me. On the other hand, it's not very practical for everyday use. I would use it if I ever had to fly with my rifle (hasn't happened yet, but you never know), but I...

Well, this helps to explain the black powder revolver, anyway. R

This is how I often use mine as well. They are fine by themselves in some situations (shooting .22 or .223 outdoors from a 16" barrel), but they really work great under good muffs. R

I need one of these. I already have a few mags, purchased last year, and a TRS-25 on a UTG mount just waiting for the rifle. Mine will have a threaded barrel though. There is definitely a Sparrow in my future. R

We have a raised floor at work. The floor tiles are two layers of 12 gauge steel filled with about 1" of concrete (don't ask). I can go through them with a 2" bimetal holesaw and an 18v cordless drill in about 30 seconds. A standard RSC would probably be even easier. R

Vote early, vote often! R

I have quite a bit of scrap lumber (1/2" and 3/4" MDF, mostly) and a jigsaw in my garage. If lived in this school district, I would happily send my child to school with a backpack full of functional rubberband guns. R

A year ago: You could buy cases of 9mm FMJ for less than $0.20 / round, shipped directly to your door. You could buy cases of Black Hills .223 factory seconds for less than $0.35 / round, shipped directly to your door. You could assemble an AR15 in any configuration, in the caliber of...

Makarov 9x18, or possibly a used S&W 642 if I could find one under $300. R
