So what this means is that her TRUE original intent was to ban ammunition in order to deplete the supply in the long run? Well, we wanted transparency in government, that's pretty clear! :barf:

Why not? I've never won anything before so I guess we'll see!

I've got 6 or 7 870's in the safe. 3 of them have/had the exact same cracks that you show. All of them were bought used for cheap. The way I fixed them was to take a hacksaw and cut straight down from the top of the stock, down to where the crack ends. Using a high quality wood glue, I glued...

Please tell me that was done purpose. Maybe a 'Did you catch the mistake?' question inside the cover? If not, then....wow

Spot on HorseSoldier. Viper, were the rest ever recovered? Usually the thieves will sell the guns within hours of stealing them. I've seen Garands and 1911s sold for $30 and a crack rock. If you had to use them in a self defense situation as the OP described, do you think the DA would've...

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you, mlj or everyone was anti-cop. It's just the 'All those *$&% no good coppers do this and that and ruin our lives' bid that gets old after a while. We do care about citizens and their property. Think about it this way. My wife and 5 kids are citizens and I...

I have a half dozen boxes of the ammo in your first picture and mine look pretty much the same. I have a few rounds that the cavity is half full of lead. QC is pretty crappy lately with these. I have 5 or six boxes of .40 cal bonded that are similar as well. I went back to Speer, although none...

It is the VALUE. They cannot buy you a new firearm. :banghead: The way most departments do this is to bluebook it, or, as when the item can't be bluebooked, they search online for firearms that are as like as possible that have been sold recently. The money is issued by check by the department...

Your right, I can't speak for other departments, but I can speak for what you can and should do with your local PD in the event that your sidearm is collected for evidence. If people are that concerned about it, they should contact their local PD and find out what policies they have in place...

Wow...there sure is a lot of conspiracy theorist/cop haters here. I thought we were better than that. The following pertains to the departments I have worked for, but is basic policy for most departments in the country (although I cannot speak for our more liberal states). 1. We do NOT...

Yeah I had a ton of HP-38 from when I used to load 155 & 165 grain. Once I ran out of the 10k or so of those, I started trying out the 180 grain. I considered trying a slower burner with the new weight. When I head out for a few more 8 pounders next week for my other loads, I may pick up a...

rcmodel - While I appreciate you expertise, I have been loading for 8 years now and know my safety procedures quite well and am extremely careful when loading. I visually inspect every case and weigh the charge on every 10. But for the sake of arguing, we'll say that I screwed up big time and...

That's what wax bullets are for! They usually fire great primer only, so it'll be a good way to check. Assuming squib, I guess I'll have to start doublechecking powder more often. I already check every 10 rounds(I'm overly cautious about doublecharges in the .40).

MtnCreek - Yes, fired bullets. Just the bullet itself. The only reason I noticed any difference was because the slide cycled, stripped off the next round and went ALMOST back into battery. The stuck bullet(each time) was just far enough in to prevent the next round from fully chambering. High...
