Thanks. Don’t think it’s that critical but will keep it in mind. 😂

Any recommendations on how many lbs/ft of torque to tighten?

Have only shot 300 rounds through my DYL Mil Spec 1911. Love the gun, but the grips seem to be loosening a little. What do folks recommend? Should I remove them and put blue Loctite on the screws and retighten? Or just tighten up as is without removing? I use a torque wrench/driver, so what is...

The jurisdiction you live in or are carrying in definitely matters. Thankfully here in GA, the laws are pretty clear, and the rights of firearm owners are protected not harassed.

Maybe, but what actual evidence exists to back this theory up? Any criminals apprehended who said their motive for not committing a crime was seeing someone open carry?

Let me ask…with an open mind…what are the benefits that people perceive with open carrying in an urban or suburban area, versus concealed carry?

Don’t disagree, and simply expressed my opinion. I didn’t just decide on this topic this afternoon, and have discussed it, thought about it, discussed with friends who are LEOs, firearms instructors with whom I’ve taken training, etc. It’s an opinion that’s evolved over years. And I’ll...

Nothing. Those signs aren’t legally valid in my state. Worst case is they can ask you to leave and call the cops to remove you for a trespass if you refuse.

I didn’t grow up here, but I’ve lived in GA in two stints…one in the 1980s when I went to college, and one beginning in 2007 when I moved my family to escape the nanny state in Massachusetts. I know many people of many walks of life, and I honestly don’t know anyone who flies the Confederate...

I’ve lived in urban or suburban areas my entire 56 years on this planet. I see absolutely no reason or advantage to open carrying in that environment. Now before someone jumps in on how they have the god given right to carry openly…I’m not disputing the right (which I have too)…I’m disputing...

Day 1, put the winning ticket in a safe deposit box. Contact a tax attorney and start planning for a trust or whatever the attorney recommends to preserve anonymity and reduce taxes. Get a fiduciary and make them sign a confidentiality agreement and have them start planning with the attorney...

I live in GA. Weather in Savannah in Dec is usually fairly warm…60s or 70s during the day. Could go down to as low as freezing at night, but probably will be in the 40s. Like any weather anywhere, you might get a warm spell or a cold snap.

Excellent speech on the floor of the US House of Representatives on this very topic. It’s a little long but worth the time in my opinion. Addresses the topic in this thread very directly. You may disagree with what he says, but he speaks for a lot of Americans, myself included.

And in my opinion we’ve probably gone beyond the point of no return. I hope we can figure out a rational and peaceful solution, but the status quo is intolerable, and it isn’t going to magically get better. In about 20 years, we’ve gone from “you’re wrong” to “you’re wrong and a bad person” to...

Or fear, which is exactly what some did regarding COVID, mostly Democrats. The CDC’s own statistics show that children under age 18 are just not at risk from the virus. Out of roughly 75 million children in America, there have (thankfully) only been around 500 deaths from COVID, and the...

Well, I don’t have a hard line opinion on abortion either way from a moral perspective. But I do have a problem with women using abortion as a lazy convenience. More than 95% of abortions are elective and not due to any medical necessity. I also have a big problem with the hypocrisy shown by...

I’m a big proponent of “disagree without being disagreeable” but the conventional feeling in the US now is “I’m right, so you are not only wrong, but also a bad person.” When you label someone a bad person, it gives you the excuse to throw civility and cordiality out the window. Example…if...

If you mean me, I’m not “left leaning” in any way. If not agreeing with allowing military explosives to be owned by average citizens makes one “left leaning”…then I think my point about extremism is made. I think I’ll take a rest from responding and posting here. I thought folks wanted to...

You offer nothing but your own opinion, which I dare to challenge (in an adult and civil way), and you throw a tantrum and call me anti-constitutional and now a “Fed.” Sorry folks, this is why some label people in the 2A community as extremists. I love the Constitution and believe everyone...

Exactly. And that’s all I’m asking. What is the upper limit for the people in this thread who seem to imply they have no upper limit?
