    Supreme Court Puts Trump Back on Colorado Ballot – UNANIMOUS DECISION

    Feel free to explore whatever hypothetical scenarios you want but the fact remains Trump was acquitted and not convicted. I agree if he had been convicted the remedy would likely have been limited to removal from office and perhaps disqualification from holding future office. However if that...

    Supreme Court Puts Trump Back on Colorado Ballot – UNANIMOUS DECISION

    Yep seems that's correct learn something new everyday... but I'm no lawyer. He was acquitted and not convicted so not sure how that works but you're probably right.

    Supreme Court Puts Trump Back on Colorado Ballot – UNANIMOUS DECISION

    But he was actually impeached for insurrection AND acquitted by Congress... would think he would also have Fifth amendment protection against double jeopardy and being charged again no?

    stuck cartridge

    I'm sure @kev74 has given you the best advice but if it were me I'd hit it with a little heat from a micro torch or heat gun to see if it frees up before anything else.

    Stupid question its ok to leave CLP residue on gun right?

    Have no idea how old my can is but it does say it contains PTFE which is generic Teflon, no? Did they change formula? ETA looks like container posted by @Mosinitis contains PTFE as well.

    Stupid question its ok to leave CLP residue on gun right?

    Yeah I know that it was just really wet more than just a film so wasn't sure if it would be OK or not. I looked at them today and seems most of the excess dried up.

    Stupid question its ok to leave CLP residue on gun right?

    Thanks guys I was more concerned about dropping the gun in the snow... dumba$$$ lol. To it's credit it ran fine. Ruger LC9 slide was locked back and inside of back of slide got packed with snow. I banged as much of it out as I could and ran a mag through it seemed to dry it right up lol...

    Stupid question its ok to leave CLP residue on gun right?

    I think it's fine but just wanted to check. Finally did some shooting after a long break. Dropped one of my guns in about 10" of snow ugh. I'm at my buddy's place and only had some CLP with me. I disassembled and cleaned up all the guns last night but there is a fair amount of CLP left on...

    Fitness and prepardness.. but im tired today

    Yeah part of the problem is I'm a very fussy eater. Don't eat chicken or eggs (some eggs if included in something else but hardly ever by themselves) don't like milk or pretty much anything "creamy" so eat cereal dry for example. Haven't been eating a lot of cheese just a few slices off a...

    Must be an elaborate hoax then I posted link to Washington Post article from Feb 2021 when it (supposedly?) happened. The deputy was cleared of any wrongdoing in June 2021. There are articles about that too if you look for them.

    Gifted Several Guns - any issues to consider?

    My brother called me a few months ago and wanted to give me his Kimber 1911 as well as a few others. As much as I appreciated the offer and would have liked to have had his gun I respectfully passed. He gave them to his friend who lives in FL. FUKH.

    Pretty much what I was going to say. You can even agree that they are his to do whatever he wants until his passing then they transfer to you. I'd have him write a letter and keep it in the safe.

    Benelli M4

    Pistol grip is not an evil feature on shotgun in NY but there are certain configurations that would make it a no go within NY. M4 is GTG with 7 round tube and "fixed" stock (including pistol grip).

    Best chefs knife to buy?

    That's the set I have Pro S they are awesome. I have a set of "matching" steak knifes but don't recall if they're actually Henckels or not (they may be Wusthof). In any event, nothing particularly impressive about the steak knifes but the actual chefs knifes are great.

    Well unfortunately time has come for security system

    Just checked (online so take it for what it's worth) but only AZ and KY have mandatory glass coverage. NY can offer full coverage (no deductible) as part of comprehensive but it's not free (meaning you have to pay a premium for glass to be covered).

    Well unfortunately time has come for security system

    Only experience I have with them is my buddy, who has a NY security systems license, told me to hardwire them. I'm sure the wifi cameras work fine though, provided your internet is up.
