It's a cool engineering / machining feat, to be sure. But it's utterly useless for any real world application I can imagine....

I replaced the plastic sights on my G19 Gen3 with a set of Ameriglo sights. I used the pro operator rear (with yellow tritium) and the green tritium front with the orange ring around it. The...

This guy had everything set up for an epic safety video, all he needed was the "bang" in the right place:

Useful tidbit of info:

The MGW Glock tool will also accept an M&P slide, but you need to remove the backplate and striker assembly from the M&P slide.

I am willing to go out on a limb here and suggest that the "right way to hold" her gun includes not pointing it at another student...

They'll say "application denied, but thank you for donating your application fee."

I occasionally practice accessing the gun WHO.

With a blue gun.

I see absolutely no reason to practice it with a live weapon, even unloaded.

One of the best bits of dialog from the series occurred at the end of the first episode, IMHO.

Simon: how do I put this as not to offend? ... How do I know you won't kill us in our sleep?

It would seem to me that if that particular model has shipped with both plastic and metal guide rods, then you can run either a plastic or metal guide rod in the gun in SSP (provided the metal guide...

Careful there. If you keep doing that, you might actually have fun...

It is a feature. It lets the bad guy know you are no one to be trifled with. If you're willing to shoot yourself to start the engagement, imagine what you're willing to do to the bad guy. :)

No go on Amtrak.

You can check a firearm in your checked baggage on Amtrak now, but you cannot carry on the train.

One of the things that struck me about this video was when the officer with the taser went to re-holster it. He takes his eyes off the suspect for several seconds and places himself in a really bad...

There's a huge difference between what, say, the NSA's wonks art Ft. Meade can do and what your local Sheriff's office can do.

It would be an interesting cross-examination, though...

Completely different creatures. The hackers didn't actually gain access to the DOJ systems - they just temporarily overloaded a web server hosting the DOJ's public website.

It's kind of akin to...

It is in the Federal system, and we have two contradictory rulings in two US District Courts.

This case seems destined for a review by the Supreme Court. In a similar case, a federal judge in the Eastern District of Michigan ruled that forcing a defendant to disclose an encryption key would...

Ah, but it does not speak for itself in any coherent fashion - until you give up the key.

You're being compelled to provide knowledge to incriminate yourself. The key isn't a physical thing you...

It seems to be the encryption key is very similar to the coded ledger example.

The "man" has the ledger, but he can't use it to convict the suspect because he doesn't know what the coded entries...

If the person refuses or claims to be unable to unlock the gate, the police will then circumvent the gate in some fashion. I think the same thing applies here - the onus is on the police to...
