Re: USSS Uniformed Officer Shoots self

Re: 5 Officers Shot In Houston - Pray

Good!

Now, doesn't this mean he is responsible for injuries to the other officers? Or did I miss or forget them already being held accountable for their parts in that mess?

Re: Never forget 23 years ago 9/11

An article about one of the officer's I served with. He was murdered that day as the co-pilot and first officer of that first plane. I will never forget!

Re: Nuland Admits US Discouraged Ukraine From Signing Russia Peace Deal At Moment It Was 'Really Close'

Forgive me, but the deal they discouraged that was turned down sounds an awful lot like democrat compromises when it comes to the second amendment or firearms in general here in the US.

Re: One more reason to avoid Academy

The only firearms related things I think I've gotten at Academy in recent years were shotgun shells. I was trying out some of the Aguila stuff earlier this year. Otherwise I'm there for other things.

Looking like a fool in publicity photos may be a new WH mandate after Biden put his hard hat on backwards while showing how in touch he is with blue collar types.
He's got something in his ear. Maybe not protection, but something.

Re: any probate lawyers or gurus out there? i need some information

It is looking more and more like we will have to go with an attorney to get this done. It just chaps me because my mom’s Will stipulates that I and my sister are co-executors. I don’t understand why a court would have any say in the matter. Her will was handled by a law group that used to do probate...

Re: Mystery Spring - help identify

Did you replace any springs in any of your guns? Maybe the old one? Nope. I have not replaced any springs in any of them. The only part I have replaced was a lost follower on my Benelli. I'm hoping it is just a spare for something or something I picked up just because and it doesn't really go with ...

Dimensions are as follows: Length, 52mm Outside diameter, 25.5mm Inside diameter, 20mm Spring coil, 2.7mm There are no flat spot...

Re: any probate lawyers or gurus out there? i need some information

TAM, Puma Guy, Rex B, et al. Thanks for all the information. We won't be able to change how my mom set things up now, but this definitely gives us ideas for how to set things up for our stuff to our daughter and grandkids. It sounds like Trusts are the way to go and looks like we ma be setting at le...
