    No. Definitely not. l've done some testing and not able to replicate anything like that. I don't want to freak you out, but I have a strong suspicion you have some browser hijacking malware. Perhaps you could provide some screenshots. What is the address of this other page that's popping up ...

    Question on fixed tubular magazine capacity

    Just because I'm a stickler for correct information, this has been in the penal law since 1994 (or.. technically just in NY since 2004). Nothing to do with 'Safe Act'. Safe act is simply a series of amendments and additions to sections of the NY penal code, but that line is a holdover from the...

    Question on fixed tubular magazine capacity

    Yeah. That's what I said in post #7 that quoted your post. They are considered two separate magazine tubes; of 7 or 10 rounds each (Depending on the model). If you didn't have to manually switch between them, they wouldn't be. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the NYSP have officially tried to...

    Question on fixed tubular magazine capacity

    Has absolutely nothing to do with semi or not. The law defining "Large capacity ammunition feeding devices" has nothing to do with the law defining "Assault weapon", which is where whether something was semi-auto would matter. Those shotguns also have nothing to do with it. They get by in NY by...

    Question on fixed tubular magazine capacity

    The text in the law that refers to tubular magazines (within the definition of "Large capacity ammunition feeding device") is , "provided, however, that such term does not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition"...

    Cloudflare not working properly with Tor

    So.. I'm a little thrown on this. It 'sounds' like you're talking about things that we'd have no control over, but I'm not 100% certain... I guess. To start, when you say in your very first line here, "When the new Cloudflare security screen appeared a few days ago", I already don't know what...

    Ah.. well, burst bubble or no, I'm glad you mentioned that. There's a good reason it looks like that, and that's simply because I wasn't putting logos on it or doing anything with the Basic Dark theme at all... because I was under the impression that it wasn't available anymore.

    I'll have to think a bit more on the others, but immediately I can say the .22lr mag on the left in pic #3 is almost certainly for a Stevens/Savage Mod. 34/35 Edit: Oops, I said 'on the right' initially. I meant the one on the left

    NY's Vindictive Plans for carry - special session next week to respond to SCOTUS's ruling. (Merged)

    So did I (I was due in something like just under 4 months anyway), but I can't say I'm not worried about it being deemed an issue/invalid after the fact due to either not having their training requirement or some other bullshit (change to 3 year cert...who knows.. whatever). I'm very undecided...

    NY's Vindictive Plans for carry - special session next week to respond to SCOTUS's ruling. (Merged)

    The problem there is that it may be too late. If this goes into effect as dated, as in today, as it appears to, then re-certifying right now could be re-certifying without the prerequisite training requirement and end in a denial.

    NY's Vindictive Plans for carry - special session next week to respond to SCOTUS's ruling. (Merged)

    I could be very much mistaken, as I've barely had time to make sense of it, but the way I read it was that current permit holders would all have to take whatever the training before being able to recertify. That though, if true, is incredibly insidious beyond anything I've seen mentioned here...

    Stagger HP and FMJ to deal with cars/cover/soft armor?

    Staggering in semi-auto pistol mags is not a good idea. Different types of ammo (bullet shapes, overall lengths.. particularly with case taper, as with 9mm, weights) stacked with each other could potentially lead to feed issues. Adding more possibilities for failures.. well, that's not good...
