“A man was shot dead by an accomplice as they tried to break into the home in the 2400 block of West Eastwood Avenue on the North Side shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday,” chicagotribune.com reports. “The intruders encountered residents at the front door, prompting one of them to fire shots at the porch, police said.” Oh well. Leaving the Trib to sound the alarm about, well, . . .
Hey, I agree with you. The Trib should be celebrating the short and unhappy life of Francis Macomber Luis Antonio Morales, rather than talking about active guns prowling the Windy City neighborhood. But they just. Can’t. Help. Themselves. Like this . . .
Claire Haasl, 36, lives a few homes down from the shooting. She generally considers the neighborhood safe but said she has felt more on edge after summer 2016 when cars parked on the streets were shot up, seemingly at random. No one was reported hurt.
“There’s a heightened awareness because there are guns active in this neighborhood,” said Haasl, who’s lived in the area for about 12 years. “There’s a really solid community here in Lincoln Square, and I think it’s important to be aware that this can happen anywhere. It’s important that we don’t put our heads in the sand.”. . .
“In this neighborhood we watch out for one another,” said the woman, 40. “We call the cops when things go awry.”
Because when seconds count — and the bad guys somehow fail to shoot each other — the police are only minutes away.
I never found a date by looking for one. I still got married twice:-(
The feel good story of the day!
Well, I hate to say it, but NJ is gone…like Venezuela is gone. Apart from a 70% population replacement or a complete SCOTUS 2A majority (even that is doubtful, as the criminals that run NJ will just ignore federal law), I don’t see anything turning that place around.
California is next. Governor Brown is in the last year of his last term, and his likely replacement, front runner Gavin Newsome, who hates guns and is a true believer in gun bans, will be infinitely worse. It would not surprise me in the least to see an attempt to require registration of ALL semiautomatic rifles as “assault weapons,” which means they cannot be sold or transferred to anyone in state. Although sheriffs currently issue ccws and have discretion to determine an applicant’s “good cause,” I foresee an attempt to make a state-wide standard of “good cause” akin to that currently imposed by the LAPD (which means no one has it), removing the sheriff’s discretionary authority, just as they did this year by removing a school district’s discretion to allow CCW holders to carry in campuses. Further efforts will be made to shrink the pool of available firearms on teh California Roster, by hook, but mostly by crook. Will five round mags be in OUR future? (Actually, I don’t think so, but I wouldn’t put it past them to try.)
Ignoring the no NFA, this is what I actually use:
Scorpion Evo SBR with single point sling, TRL-1 and 30 Federal HST +P 147grn and TiRant 45
or
Beretta ARX100 SBR with single point sling, TRL-1 and 30 Gold dots and YHM ULT30
or
Aero pistol build with shockwave brace, BA 8″ 300 AAC barrel, TRL-1 and 30 220 grn subs
and
Walther PPQ M2 with TRL-1, and 15 rnds Federal HST 147 grn pills.
1. Why does the Army get a vote on how CMP stores the weapons after they’re transferred to CMP?
2. Is this a case of the Army trying to make sure no one robs CMP of 8,000 pistols? Is this telling us CMP doesn’t have adequate security on their current buildings?
As someone who “owned” multiple arms rooms while in the Army, this just sounds odd to me.
Flirted with this girl every time she came into the store where I was working. It worked because she came in one day and asked my out on a date. We dated for a while, got engaged, and married her two years after she asked me out. We’ve been together for 15 years and married for 12. No computers involved. Just old fashioned courtship. Folks tell themselves they need the apps and smartphones to survive. Mankind had been doing just fine without it for tens of thousands of years.
my personal choices (post-smuggling [!] )
i/M1 carbie with 30-rnd mag and using SJHP’s 110grn rounds;
(no picaninny rail system avlbl, AFAIK…..but….easy to ‘jerry rig’ a small torch on brrl)
ii/Remington s/a shottie (11-87)… 20g (easier to control)…. “00” buck with a coupla solid slugs; plus: an “Uncle Mike” five-round pouch on the butt…..
iii/Walther PPX ….. either “40”-cal or nine millie…. pref. loaded up with Hydra-Shoks ™
(also: with laser/light combo’)
actually: for me…that’s all you’d need for home-defence….
but…. for hunting….i’d be using a s/a 22clbr like a Ruger 10-22 for small stuff and an SMLE “303” with ‘scope for bigger ‘game’……
for the boat….most likely….. a Remington or Mossie p/a shottie…. “marine”/s-s finish and, maybe either an SKS or some-thing like, say, a Ruger mini-30 with customised Wolf springs so it ‘feeds’ ex-Red Army ammo OK…..
(the former to ‘repel’ boarders in dangerous waters and the latter for sharks etc)
Leftist’s eschew facts and truth as a matter of the orthodoxy of their religion.
Jack Roberts Fudd logic at its finest. Who needs electricity, I can see fine with a candle!
And now for something funny: my dad is representing a guy who went with a group of friends to buy some weed. One of the “friends” decided to rob their drug dealer, and when my dad’s client tried to flee, his “friend” shot him in the ass. Now he’s got a bullet in his butt and an armed robbery charge.
it’s obviously a toy, probably only for lighting a bbq. stock upper lower from an airsoft gun

Chicago Robber Shoots and Kills His Accomplice:, Yeah that happens a lot.
There are a lot of unknowns here though. I can learn the secrets to buying wholesale and saving money by buying your book. Except I have no idea what it costs to do all things necessary to starting my own “business” to do this. So I spend money buying the book only to find out that the overall cost of creating the business I need for buying wholesale is either more than I can afford on it’s own or costs so much that it takes large amounts of buying wholesale to ever recoup my initial costs.
I’m not saying that’s the case but I won’t know that without buying the book and going through the process. It’s kind of a crapshoot. I purchased one of those books several years ago that tell you all the ways you are missing out on money offered by the government and such. What they don’t tell you is that out of all the options in the book only a few will apply to each individual and even then only if you are interested in starting a business or going back to college or whatever the requirement is. On the surface it sounds great but you never know whether it’s even feasible until you’ve already bought into it. That’s not a problem for folks with disposable income (which isn’t me) but then those folks aren’t that concerned with buying wholesale to begin with.
“This kind of tool seems like something law enforcement would really welcome and would make a priority if they can,” Cutilletta said. “Because to know who is determined to be dangerous already and has a gun — I mean, what better information could you give law enforcement than something like that?”
I am literally speechless.
works for religion
Felons no. 81,000 people lost tthere firearms in a boating accident? And New York lost 81,000 registration fees. Damn the luck
