"If there must be trouble let it be in my day, that my child may have peace" -Thomas Paine
If the people have become so apathetic that they will not vote out all the liberal scum (republican and democrat alike), the only solution is Constitutional Convention II the sequel. Let's get it right this time.
What do you think????Looks like a mixed bag of parts from Springfield, was thrown on a HR. I love the caliber and looks, But my question to you is, Does this take away from the value, as I would suspect??? Looks beautiful. Oakie
I can only hope you will not become discouraged upon discovering that you know little or nothing about firearms.It is probably due to your lack of experience.Stick around here on GB.There are folks here willing to teach you.[:D]
Recognize any of these criminals?[:)]
Cleaning up some old pic files and found this one. Was that the night we drank up all the Sam Adams the Outback had? Cause we sure look like it, and Bill was trying way to hard to stand up straight.[:D]
How do you like that 22. I saw one today when i bought my kel tec 9 if its any good i will go back and get it. It was the solid black one. David. I just like different guns. David I was talking about the explorer,
Just pulled up the SHOT Show page. Is next years going to be in Vegas again? I thought they were trying to go West/East now. Wish Atlanta had not screwed up their chances.

They gave or lent my PD 20 brand new M16-A3 rifles.
You're referring to their '10-33 program' and are you sure those weren't M16A1's?
Nowadays I'm seeing agencies receiving very old, multiple times rebuilt, straight M16's through that program. These are early 60's models with chromed bolt carriers, three prong flash suppressors, etc. that are actually considered highly desirable, antiques by the AR/M16 collector crowd. Their stockpiles must be getting low.
FWIW - I'm wondering what situation exists for a 100 population village to require a rifle with full-auto capability instead of their cops just toting a plain old AR. Most agencies I'm aware of who receive those 10-33 M16 variants convert them to semi-only anyhow. Higher training costs are a big factor in this.

Well he just asked how a dept might come by one we get a lot of drug traffic through our town slit right in the middle of a major state highway
Point out to him that if they're wanting full-auto capability they need to budget for considerably more ammo than for semi-auto patrol rifles.
Bear in mind that a shooter is responsible for every round they fire and each one is considered a separate use of force by the courts. By this I mean that when it hits the courtroom the shooter must be able to justify/explain the need each and every round they fired, not just the initial decision to shoot.
So. It wouldn't be worth the hassel for a "village" to have a full auto gun to "play" with?
Could they "put in" for practice ammo and go RIP some 30 rnd.mags?[:p][:p]
Full AUTO IS the funnest thing U can do,with cloths on!!!
Glad I had a chance to fire a few different ones..

Couldn't we just give them a couple of sling shots and a basket of bananas.[?][?][?][?][?]
One cop with an M16 isn't going to be worth much. He'll spend most of his time missing and reloading. I'd rather have four men with AR-15's than one with an M-16
Our dept has new AR-15,s from S&W.
There are some M-16,s in the vault, but we never use them.
We sold two old Thompson sub guns three years ago finance new handguns and rifles.
Got enough AR,s to put one in each car.
Sorry I missed the thread, but I haven't been on the boards much for the last coupe of weeks.
The DoD has a program that Nunn mentioned which might allow the department one or two rifles at no cost. Naturally the PD won't own them, the rifles remain US Property. The other method is the old tried and true LE letter to any Class 3 dealer to purchase a post 1986 MG. The PD will purchase and own the M16s outright, but they are restricted and can never be sold to a private party and can only be sold or transferred to another LE agency.
