    Do you know when FID cards..

    RTFD Try READING it - the expiration date for every license is expressly set forth thereon. :rolleyes: NOTE: As of 2004, license periods increased 50%; from 4 years to 6.

    Do you know when FID cards..

    October, 1998 The actual expiration date of any given card was a function of the birthday of the holder and expiration was spread out over a couple of years. In short, if this is news to you, you are really "out of the loop."

    "Bogarting" a revolver Two potential problems in that bad habit: 1. Inertia means the gun moves while the cylinder hasn't yet - the crane has to take that load and may eventually twist a bit from the torque. This means binding on lock-up. 2. NOT the best thing in the world for the...

    Apples and oranges The AFR is irrelevant as to: 1. Private transfers and 2. Moving into the state with one's own property. It ONLY applies to DEALER sales. Once AGAIN; the gun is not the problem, the MAGAZINES are.

    From Miami to Boston

    Clarification Careful. You need an "A" only to: 1. Possess a HANDGUN w/a "large capacity" magazine; or 2. CARRY concealed. Massachusetts law defines a "firearm" as a HANDGUN (in most, but not all, the statutes!); however, everyone else, especially the Feds, equate "firearm" with...

    BAD ADVICE redux An egregiously incorrect assertion. :scrutiny: As Mr. Price has already called the miscreant out for it, I will simply add my support to his suggestion regarding the northeast shooters site. Note that FID cards are "SHALL ISSUE"; however, that would not cover your MIA or...

    Think it through! Yes, it is "doing the same thing" - going forward - but NOT in the same way. A slide normally strips a cartridge (NOT a "bullet) from the magazine (NOT the "clip") as it goes forward. As the cartridge is under spring tension from the follower pushing it against the mag...

    Is This The Stupidest Gun Owner Ever?

    A poster child for the "spray 'n pray" set............ :rolleyes:

    From Miami to Boston

    Not exactly correct and in Massachusetts that means VERY wrong! First, your guns are not "restricted." Your MAGAZINES are! Unless they are "pre-ban" mags, you cannot possess them in Massachusetts. Forget the fact that the Federal ban expired; Mass. has its own AWB. Second, an FID is NOT...

    Are videotaped beheadings covered by Geneva?

    Geneva is irrelevant where, as here, you are dealing with NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations). In short, there is no state to sign the convention, still less to abide by it.

    I'm not as worried about the sear as I am about my barrel lug/slide fit. Slamming the slide the way you did is NOT the way to handle a gun that isn't yours, cowboy. :scrutiny: Another reason I don't let many people use my guns.

    Aircraft Machine Gun vs. Cannon?

    Really? Best check this: And it's "Phalanx" and "Gatling." ;)

    Traffic Tickets and NICS Checks

    Given that both POSTED the subject AFTER having dealt with it for some time - AND that one is a cop - it is not unreasonable to expect each to "get a clue" and at least spell the acronym correctly. :scrutiny:

    Traffic Tickets and NICS Checks

    And the people on this forum who can't distinquish the NICS check from the tv show OR the real entity that show is based on are VERY unobservant and/or very slow learners! :scrutiny: There are two threads currently running in which the OP and/or other posters make the error.

    Aircraft Machine Gun vs. Cannon?

    MISINFORMATION NONSENSE. :scrutiny: Both spherical case and shell were in wide use by the time of the Crimean and US Civil war; the latter before then. As muzzleloaders were the primary artillery peices of the time (the Whitworth just coming into service), this ordnance is hardly...

    Why we need to handle firearms safely (kinda graphic)

    Aircraft Machine Gun vs. Cannon?

    Really? Then how is it that 20MM guns are referred to as "cannon;" i.e., the Vulcan Autocannon? :scrutiny: - Wikipedia The exploding ordnance is the key distinction.
