I can't find any FCC rules that would apply. The RC is certainly Part-15 compliant, unless there's an obscure clause to Part-15 about "mission-critical" devices. However, there may be FAA regulations broken here. I'm not sure about weaponry flown in public airspace, and that may be a county...

Mmm, I'm going to have to say it's a real Springfield 1911. Unless they spent way too much time doctoring the video with special effects and after effects, that is clearly a real pistol firing live rounds. 1) You can see muzzle flash. 2) You can see smoke discharge. 3) You can see earth...

Though, it is neat to see innovation of this sort on a shoestring budget. Easily 10,000 times cheaper than a military model, but still functional. I'm not going to argue about practicality, but assume the need arises for such a device, this is a damn good proof-of-concept. Hey, with any luck...

We can't have our children fighting crazed gunmen. This will only give them the idea they are immortal and can go around disarming police! THINK OF TEH CHILDREN ToBeHonest. I do believe in K-12 gun safety and rifle training classes, along with advanced pistol courses for highschool seniors...

How many laws does this break? Seriously though, excellent design, but can't imagine the repercussions. http://www.break.com/index/your-new-favorite-model-helicopter.html (video depicts a high-end radio controlled helicopter with functioning .45 cal 1911 and webcam mount)

I thought Great Brittan founded the invention of the man trap, booby trap, and other tinkerer solutions to theft deterrent. Then again, I get my sources from Wallas & Grommet and other Bri'ish television. I like the dye solution, but would rather see a flammable solvent used. Crook gets...

It is hard to tell from your picture whether this lettering is etched + paint, or surface lettering paint. If you can feel the text is above the surface and not etched, you'll have a better chance at finding a solvent to remove it. If the lettering IS etched, you'll have to have it filled...

[not] To play devil's advocate, but what if those Iraqis weren't even snipers, but having a BBQ and throwing back some beers on their rooftop. With the strict curfew in conflict areas, and the popularity of BBQs (for some, the only way to cook their food), people conceivably resort to their...

I've read a number of accounts of gunshop altercations on these boards, and I've personally witnessed a couple at gun shows. There is a lot of tension in people's lives, especially when they are frightened and looking for a gun, or they're looking for a gun to straw or commit a crime with...

Since we haven't had a good war at home in over 100 years, our nation's soccer moms and middle-management dads view violence and confrontation as a thing reserved to uncivilized 3rd world countries. Soldiers only fight abroad in order to enlighten those savages to the ways of mini-vans and...

Ug. I was just watching robbery surveillance videos on Youtube (mostly gun vs. anti-gun convenience stores, quite an interesting comparison) and thought how everyone should have video surveillance. I wish these folks had--they may not catch this guy with no motive, no suspects.

Thanks for the link. I was monitoring this thread and had no idea about the situation. It's hard to believe someone would pull such a stunt against a gun owner, a Russian gun owner at that! Just desserts are best served cold. :evil:

I can appreciate why the officer brought this up to orygunmike, but I can't agree there was any useful reason for it. He probably only mentioned it because he rarely (if he has ever) encountered a law abiding CHL licensed gun owner. It took him off guard and he turned it into a potentially...

Uh... a lawyer, questionable character, .22 pistol, free gun? Sounds like he's trying to get rid of the evidence, or pin it on you! :what:

When I read the subject "Horror--a gun" and the first paragraph "awaiting an MRI exam", my first thought was... "crap, someone got an MRI done on their knee that had a bullet lodged in it". I don't know how I'm going to deal with this disappointment. (hint: if you ever get an MRI done, make...

Random thought about hidden closet design. It doesn't hurt to have a secondary hidey-hole. A design similar to what the original poster mentioned with a sliding bookshelf that reveals a gun cabinet. Except that if one completely empties the gun cabinet, they can remove the false bottom lined...

I think it has to do with the uniforms--they closely resemble all the popular brand labels of former tyrants. Perhaps if our public servants were required to dress in butler attire or as french maids, we wouldn't have such a problem with unlawful force and overstepping of boundaries...

I wouldn't necessarily say the therapist was misinformed; just perhaps misinforming you. She may have felt it was a good idea for you to stop carrying for a while, at the time. It may still be a good idea not to carry--that's your call. It's not uncommon for a breakup and divorce to severely...

I always see mention of Texas and Arizona, but what about New Mexico? I've lived here 4 years and have seen at least a few people who open carry. I'm not sure about the laws in any of the large cities; Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, etc... does anyone here know better? FWIW, New Mexico is...

(no, that's not me)
