Why? How would you have acted differently? I'm going to assume the reason is for self defense in case of a violent confrontation. To me, it seems like there are two ways such an encounter could develop: they spot you while you're watching them from "15 feet away" and don't appreciate it, or you...

Update: I've got the slide stop adjusted (bent the flange outward), but the gouge on the inside of the slide means it won't catch there. It slides off the nub and contacts the control surface. Looks like I'm stuck with warranty servicing. Thanks again to Mike for all the help.

Weregunner, thanks for the link. Mike, if I understand the PT 24/7's design (and am reading my manual's explosion) correctly, the extractor is external, and is the black bar on the bottom right of my most recent picture (partially cropped out).

If I could trouble you just a bit further, would this be feasible, and more importantly, safe to fix by bending that prong outward a little, or am I stuck with a warranty call to Taurus? Here's a picture of the gouge. It's about 1/4 of the way in to the slide at its deepest point.

This protrusion is what you're referring to, correct? This bit is bent inward slightly, and presses against the bottom of the rail when the slide stop is pushed upward. If I pull out gently on the stop and push it up, it travels up noticeably further than it does when stopped by contact...

My camera is pretty mediocre, sorry about that. The slide has 1/4" of extra draw past where the stop holds it.

Hello gents, I'm having an issue with my Taurus PT 24/7 and was wondering if anyone had an idea which might save me a warranty return. Here's the problem: the slide disassembly lever is prevented from rotating when the slide is locked back. In order to strip it, I have to pull and hold the...

http://oathkeepers.org/oath/ This. You need a lawyer, as quickly as possible, without compromising the quality of the one you retain. Contacting the ACLU and NRA is a wise idea, because they can assist you (via recommendations or referrals, if nothing else) in getting legal representation.

I realize it's locking the barn after the horse has run off in your case, but this is an excellent objective lesson on why not to let the police in to your home without a warrant. Would they have come back later with one? Very possible, but it at least you gain a bit of advance warning and lead...

Note that 25.06, prohibition of discharge of firearms, contains no exemption for law enforcement. Presumably they are given written authorization by the chief of police, but the ordinance also requires that authorization to be limited to a specific time. It stands to reason that a carte blanche...

Art, you haven't been paying attention. TheSarge revived this thread from May of 2009.

St. Louis Park is a suburb of Minneapolis, in Hennepin county. Your sheriff's department sounds like a real stand-up group of people. No one to whom I've spoken has had any real idea on how the law should be interpreted, given the shutdown; though to be fair, I haven't talked with any...

A couple questions: For those that use motor oils to lubricate their firearms, any opinions on the differences in performance among naturals, semi-synthetics, and synthetics? Anyone have experience using graphite spray lubricants?

I can't fairly make the claim that they're intentionally taking longer than the statute allows, yet. But my department - St. Louis Park - certainly doesn't seem bothered by the fact that refusing to grant a receipt violates the statute. However, I would not be terribly surprised if, at this time...

Jfh: what Westhope said. Additionally, the statute says that the police are responsible for making that form available to everyone, so a bureaucratic failure would still constitute a violation of the statute. Whether it was administratively unavailable is a non issue in my case as well, since I...

Some additional food for thought: Would you feel the same way if the person in question (one who would not engage in self defense for any reason) were harming themselves (and nothing else), rather than being attacked by a third party? The principle is exactly the same. Consider that, for...

If there's someone in Minnesota, preferably relatively close to the twin cities, willing to teach someone who's never had the opportunity before, I'm 26, responsible, patient, and eager to learn. I'd be willing to try pretty much any kind of game, and any sort of hunting. I'd be particularly...

Thanks for the replies. I must apologize; I wasn't being clear enough in my initial post. I've been waiting on my permit to purchase, not permit to carry. The PtP must, by statute, be issued or denied within seven days. My curiosity about the matter (in addition to my impatience for my permit...

While it certainly is a possibility - maybe even likely - you can't know that. There's no positive evidence on the video that he was soliciting a prostitute, and he is to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Talking or giving a ride to a woman at night, even one with two prior arrests for...

In Minnesota, the state government has been shut down due to failure to balance the budget. In order to purchase a handgun or "military style" rifle, you must get a permit from the state. The permit statute says that upon receipt of the application, the police or sheriff's department must...
