Re: Under 21 Possession

Handgunlaw.us is a good place to start. https://www.handgunlaw.us/states/arkansas.pdf Very informative. I think that I had all of my questions answered just from that fact sheet. You should consider OC spray as a less contentious self defense tool. Even when carrying a deadly force tool, it is good...

Re: ATF Released New Proposed Pistol Brace Rules

Just carrying on the traditions of Trump. I mean who cares. People told me bumpstocks were stupid and we shouldn’t whine about the sacrifice to appease lefties. So let’s just say pistol braces are stupid and not worthy of fighting for these either. Must sacrifice to make the lefties happy.

Re: Firing through a locked door

In general, I’d say the person that shoots through the door must be held to account. Once the door is breached, fire to stop the threat. Use your firearm for the purpose it was made, to stop a threat of imminent loss of life or property. Behind a door, you are not under imminent threat of loss of li...

Re: Enforceability of mask requirements

Trying to understand the double mindedness in touting a business private property right to require masks & opposing that same business if they put up 30.06/30.07

Re: TN: Permitless carry advances

Assuming something like this passes, how does this impact reciprocity? You couldn’t carry in other states unless you got their permit & some states don’t issue to non-residents.

Re: Portable Generators

Whole house gens are likely the biggest waste of money for those that don’t have money to waste. Now take my neighbor, cash flowing out from every crevice of the body, he’s fine to do it. But to spend $7-12k for electric (when electric doesn’t usually fail or there aren’t regular rolling black outs ...

Re: Stay Warm and Safe the Next Few Days

Back feeding through a proper switch is perfectly safe. For example a mechanical interlock that couples the main shutoff breaker & the generator breaker. Use a proper inlet box for the generator power supply cord and NEVER backfeed through a suicide cord (male plugs on both ends) or through your...

Re: Where's the Line, What's the Cause?

I’d post what I think but:

1). nobody cares
2). it won’t change anything
3). I’d get cancelled from this forum for my poor form of expression

so...I’ll just watch, for now

Re: Do Springs Take a Set if the Striker is pre-cocked/the hammer cocked?

All materials experience stress relaxation. This is the decay of stress with time. When there stress developed in the material due to deflection decays, the strain becomes permanent. When strain is permanent, then force of spring is deceased. We know this for example, is an issue in metal spring en...

https://youtu.be/fgBla7RepXU Basic math. The response has to be a local response. He proved that point. No sense in shutting down a region when their local rates are not climbing and their capacity is nowhere near challenged. This is why counties & states need to take ownership of the responsib...

Re: Corona Virus (COVID-19)( SARS-CoV-2) from China: Its going to be bad.

I hope Trump has the guts to stand up to them. He said earlier that he "wants the bill signed today." If he caves and gives the socialists what they want, he might find people won’t vote for him in November. More suffering now and in the weeks to come is better than living with the conseq...

Re: Coronapocalypse Projects & Pastimes

Homemade smoker build. Reverse flow. Designed by me utilizing some online tools for proper cook chamber sizing, firebox sizing & exhaust stack sizing. Lots of work. Not perfect. First time welding. Granted I started this before this corona nonsense.
