    You REALLY want to ship to California??

    That's the point some are making. Some of these concerns aren't reasonable or realistic. "Tyrannical" is the new word for "ideologically different than me and occasionally a source of inconvenience." Often, when I hear that word, it's in reference to something that came about as a result of...

    You REALLY want to ship to California??

    Which laws in particular? I can't think of a single one that would have anything to do with what you're trying to get done. Also, there's certainly crime here, but statistics don't bear out the perception that it's higher here than in other states. That's just hype. Definitely agree on the...

    You REALLY want to ship to California??

    Haha! Soup sandwich! That's a first for me. That's hilarious. I guess the flip-side to that would be when known carcinogens don't rate a consumer warning at all. Sometimes, people don't know and would maybe take a precaution if they did. I saw a discussion on bullet molding where people...

    You REALLY want to ship to California??

    D'oh! Now THAT is one of the more intelligent comments/concerns I've read on the matter. Maybe keep that under wraps because you're right. I once penned a short-story where a prohibited person used a BP gun to take out a guy who wronged him. He uses Pyrodex deliberately to rust out the whole...

    You REALLY want to ship to California??

    Legally speaking, a tub of cottage cheese is precisely the same as a black-powder gun in regards to criminal liability of a seller or shipper to a recipient in CA who later uses it un a crime. 'Anti-2A' is a subjective opinion, but LAWS are a bit more 'black-and-white.' You generally can't be...

    You REALLY want to ship to California??

    I saw a video of a guy using an Airsoft pistol to rob diners in a restaurant. It ended very badly for him when a CCW holder turned out to have an actual gun on him.

    You REALLY want to ship to California??

    They ought to have that same concern about shipping a tub of cottage cheese, then. If said cottage cheese is later used in a crime, the seller is no less likely to be legally jeopardized than the guy who shipped a BP 'curio.' People ought to at least TRY to base their concerns on facts.

    You REALLY want to ship to California??

    Well, I'm a happy and proud Californian and a proud and patriotic American, too. As such, I'm curious which backwards, poor education, high crime, poor health outlook, bad Mexican food, cousin-marrying, irrelevant state you moved to?

    You REALLY want to ship to California??

    I don't mind the question. In my case, it was a few things. I guess you could say I grew up always wanting to be a cop, but once I got there, I was pretty different than what I thought. I had a pretty romanticized, idealized notion about rule of law and the Constitution and all that... but...

    You REALLY want to ship to California??

    Well, I suppose some would say crime was lower back then, but those same 'someones' would probably not consider police skull-cracking (or lynching for that matter) a crime anyway. All that 'split-second decision' business is predicated on the idea that officer safety is somehow more important...

    Set Trigger Question

    Hi Sorry if this has been covered a lot already, but where on the mechanism should I place the sear bar over? What's the 'sweet spot?'

    You REALLY want to ship to California??

    Lol If it's 'perceived', then no, it wouldn't be your license on the line. But by all means, if you decided not to sell for whatever reason (legit or eye-rollingly silly, paranoid or made-up), then knock yourself out!

    Talented Stock Carvers?

    Hi, Who are the folks that people go to when they want their kit rifle stock beautified by a pro? PLEASE: If you're gonna reply anything akin to "Why not just do it yourself", just think it and don't actually reply with that ;) Thanks!

    You REALLY want to ship to California??

    Yes, Well, that's just it. Some dealers and sellers aren't making decisions based on any actual rules, laws or paperwork. Just their perceptions of it. As previously stated, shipping a BP gun to CA is the same as shipping a carton marshmallow cookies. I've had this conversation with many...

    You REALLY want to ship to California??

    Yeah, There's a scene in one of my fav movies, "Colors", where Robert Duvall's character stomps on a suspect's dope and tells him to 'beat it.' Sean Penn's character is incredulous and can't understand why his partner let a potential felony arrest skate. Duvall explains that it's petty ****...

    our 54 cal. Woodsrunner arrived today

    I was thinking the exact same thing! Been building bows for a while (stick and laminate) and a heat-gun and tension will shape any wood if you're patient. Seems that in this case, the barrel will do the trick, though.

    our 54 cal. Woodsrunner arrived today

    Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I'm pretty proud, too! This kid had a pilot's license before he had a learner's permit for a car. Asked some girl out on a date and flew her to Catalina for lunch. She was impressed. Between that, and being able to get a 4" group with a Pietta 1851...
