  1. Destabilize the country and start an internal civil war.  That will keep them busy for a while and seriously weaken their motivation to pick fights outside their borders.  Start with taking out their petroleum industry and then their power grid, water supply etc.  I'm sure there are some important bridges that need bombing.  Nothing like a hungry population with things deteriorating further to start the protests.  

  2. Thanks for the heads up Lumpy.  I don't do the book of faces thing.  

     

    I suppose if you have to have an appendix rupture, January is probably about as good a time as any.  After the holidays and before shooting season kicks off.  

     

    Prayers for a speedy recovery.

  3. Scrappy, welcome to the world of reloading.  I would highly recommend getting with a seasoned reloader that is local to you to show you the ropes.  There are a lot of things to learn and learning them the hard way is just..... well, hard.  The Hodgdon powder website has lots of loads.  You need to figure out what you want and then find a powder that will work.  Then you need to find the powder.  There are lots of powders that will work for shotgun shell.  Availability is the tricky part these days.

     

    Good luck.  

  4. Back in the dark ages when I was in High School, they had an attendance policy.  You could exempt your final exams and didn't have to come to school on final exam day if you had a good enough grade and no absences.  They also suspended kids for fighting, stealing, being disrespectful to teachers and staff.  Usually a 2nd serious infraction resulted in being told not to come back.  Most of the trash was weeded out during the 10th grade year.  They turned 16 and could legally quit school.

     

    Some parents paid/rewarded the kid for report card grades.  I don't have any data on that but I know I didn't get any.

      How would you feel about allowing any wood stocked pump action shotgun?  

    If they allowed that, then the Remington 870 with an extended mag tube would be the gun to get.   Getting a reliable shotgun would no longer be a challenge.  

  6. The tragedy will come when they try to confiscate an otherwise legally owned firearm and the owner refuses to turn it over and fights back.  Law Enforcement and the gun owner may be killed.  Then the civil suits will begin and it could get real expensive for the state of Illinois.  

     

    If an officer is killed trying to enforce a law that is eventually ruled unconstitutional, could the citizen be found guilty of murder for resisting an illegal seizure and a violation of his 2nd Amendment rights?   Lots of disasters waiting to happen and unfortunately, the idiot politicians who passed this law won't be the one's suffering the consequences.

  7. When I started CAS in 2004, I went to Walmart and ordered a Winchester 94 in .357.  It was the 20" 94AE Trails End with the tang safety.  I think the price was about $360.00.  Walmart had a really weird way of buying/ordering firearms but that's another story.  I shot the Winchester 94 for my first year and even had Joe West do an action job on it.  The action job helped, but it still had a built in governor.  I still have the gun, however it has been retired from CAS duty.

    Where are you finding that locally Bob? Do they have 8 lb jugs of Titewad?

    Alexanders store in Blairsville.  They have lots of powder and primers, dies.  All kinds of stuff.  It's worth a trip to the mountains.

  9. The quietest one I've seen is a CZ .22 LR bolt action rifle with a threaded barrel and subsonic ammo.  I don't know the brand of the suppressor but it wasn't that large.  You could literally hear the firing pin snap the cartridge.  

     

    Getting a suppressor to work on many semi auto pistols is a challenge due to the added weight of the suppressor.  If the barrel is fixed, it's a lot easier.

  10. I'm not aware of a specific crime of not calling the police except in a traffic accident.  Hit and Run.  If you throw dirt over the dead body or dump it in the water after you shoot them, that could be considered Concealing the Death of another.  If you shoot them and leave them where they fell, I don't think there is a criminal law obligation to call the police and provide evidence against yourself.  5th Amendment argument.  

     

    However, the circumstances of failing to call the authorities after the killing could be damaging to your defense if they decide to prosecute.

    There was a time when there were people around the country who would " forward"  your mail for you. You would write your letter, put it in an addressed, stamped envelop, put that in another one with a dollar or two and send it to one of these guys. They'd keep the money and drop your letter in the mail in their local post. I wonder if any of those guys still exist?

    They still do this at Christmas time from some place called North Pole.

  12. Enforcing MDQ's are a necessary part of the game.  It's unpleasant and I hate doing it to one of my friends but if there are no penalties, there will be further violations.  A MDQ will be on their mind then next time they think about going just a little faster than the situation calls for.  Example:  Running down the slick boardwalk with the pistols drawn or shooting Gunfighter and just throwing rounds down range without aiming.  Sweeping the people and dropping loaded guns are very serious violations.  I've been MDQ'ed before and it's a memorable experience that I've tried not to repeat.
