      Employer interview for CCW

      I assume they would know about it as soon as you sat down given your state tax returns, etc.

      Employer interview for CCW

      Really? Lord. Shouldn't they also talk to your local bar, bowling alley, and former Little League teammates? Do you know if they explicitly state the reason to the employer? Will they outright kill your promotion with CCW talk, or only put it at risk by asking about general violence?

      Employer interview for CCW

      My understanding is that if you're using your job as evidence of a "good and substantial" reason for a CCW, MSP will interview your employer. I imagine that if you're self-employed, they wouldn't talk to anyone professionally. What if you have both, though? If you have a regular W-2 job...

      New stripped AR lower, new 10.5" upper?

      That's a great idea, thank you. I will check them out.

      New stripped AR lower, new 10.5" upper?

      I assume that measurement is from end of barrel (not muzzle device) to end of collapsed stock? My 14.5" with collapsed CTR is just over 29" to the base of the FH. I've never been a huge fan of the AR pistols. Also, the ultimate goal of this project is to run it suppressed. Edit: Sorry...

      Holy crap, is that a great avatar.

      New stripped AR lower, new 10.5" upper?

      Thank you. Shouldn't be a problem with most stocks as in we need to be above (or below?) a certain overall length?

      New stripped AR lower, new 10.5" upper?

      I'm sorry if I'm a broken record; I've searched, but not found. Here's what I'd like to do: 1. Purchase a new, stripped AR-15 lower from on-line retailer, gunbroker, or LGS. I understand this is pretty much the same as pre-10/13, right? Send to my FFL, paperwork, 7-day wait? 2. Create...

      A Psychiatrist Examines The Anti-Gun Mentality

      I think this is a poorly constructed and poorly written article. My vote would be against officially connecting it to MSI. I'm sure I'll sound crusty, but I care about our side being taken seriously and I think things like this hurt us. The following passage is an example: Whether you...

      Do Away With 2nd Amendment

      If they take away my guns, I'm going to have to find another way to kill myself because I cannot believe this guy is paid to write.

      Made my first knife - lots of pics

      Feels like this one took years :) I have holes in the tang for the pins and five smaller ones as "glue rivets". The balance is good as is. I didn't really want to throw that off or weaken it any. It's really just a little more knife than I need. I was replacing a Gerber LMF, which has...

      I think you have to be one of those hardcore knife guys to start down that road.

      Made my first knife - lots of pics

      Completing it actually was a huge deal to me. The whole thing took forever and there were a bunch of restarts and set-backs. There were a lot of times where I was real close to scrapping it. I'm real happy to have this done and about as good as I could have hoped for instead of coming...

      Made my first knife - lots of pics

      It would probably have been a tenth of the effort if I'd actually known what I was doing :rolleyes: I'll give away ten free when we finally get CCW. Consider yourself at the top of the list.

      Made my first knife - lots of pics

      Ha, that's the funny part. I was looking at a RAT 5, but balking largely because of the weight. For camping stuff, weight is my primary concern because I do a lot of longish hikes. The RAT was 16oz for just the knife. This one is 13. The RAT is 1/4" where this is 3/16" so some weight is...
