Re: Minnesota Gun Control Hearings Friday Feb 3rd

I don't have much to say at this point. There's absolutely nothing new or original here - it's the same exactly playbook, only now they have the numbers to implement the agenda. I read the senate file (companion to the house bill) here: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.php?number=HF0014&ses...

Re: Oh God, not again.

I don't know why but I have a different feeling after the Uvalde shooting and the other shootings that followed in its wake. While hard cases like Sandy Hook didn't result in any new gun control measures in the recent past, I think we will have some new laws passed because of this. I can't explain i...

Re: Potter verdict- 2 years

That’s the whole hazard of being married though fellas. We have no idea what her husband does or what they have for combined marital assets. She (they) may still end up being sued. Why do you think Chauvin’s wife “divorced” him so quickly? That's true, and I'm sure (provided they just don't want a ...

Re: Potter verdict- 2 years

They certainly could sue her personally, but any lawyer worth their salt will examine collectability before embarking on a lawsuit (especially if it's going to be a contingency fee arrangement). Sometimes people will also sue just to make a point - when I worked in corrections we had inmates with si...

Re: Potter verdict- 2 years

I disagree with the sentence, just like I would've disagreed with the judge had she done an upward durational departure as the prosecution wanted. The MN sentencing guidelines exist for a reason and I think judges should very, very rarely sentence outside them. I feel the same way about Chauvin - he...

Re: How bad a shot are you!??!!!??

I'm a terrible shot... wait, that wasn't the actual question. This happens frequently. As others have said, any firing range will have signs of errant lead flying in seemingly all directions. When I was in corrections and we had to qualify semi-annually with the AR-15 and 12 gauge, we more than one ...

Re: Minneapolis officer charged in shooting of Australian woman

He won't do much prison time if convicted. Let's say they acquit him of 3rd degree murder but convict him of the 2nd degree manslaughter charge. With his clean record, he'll get three years - spend two of them in a correctional facility and one on supervised released (parole). He'll be a felon, but ...

Re: Linda Slocum

I think it has to do with what level membership you have. I get some mailings, mostly for insurance and other services exclusive to members, as a lifetime member but not much else. I’m a basic lifetime member as well and I used to get called once every few weeks or so. Now, it’s down to the mailing...

Re: Adding a caliber...

Very nice! Our popular calibers are ubiquitous for many reasons, many of which have nothing to do with performance. Since the market is so saturated with different types of rounds, it's tough to get a foothold. Sure, the 7mmWSM might be superior to the 30.06 in almost every way (for a specific appli...

Re: Philando Castile case. Officer charged

I heard them talk about the suit after the criminal trial, but assumed that the settlement was the end of it. Have they actually talked about an additional civil suit since then? Both rags in the Twin Cities reported that they intended to sue Yanez personally, although this was before the $3M settl...

Re: Philando Castile case. Officer charged

I haven't posted in a long while, but I thought I'd add that I know the brother of the Officer who was recently acquitted. I used to work with him (he was a colleague of mine when the shooting actually happened) and a great guy in general. I really felt for his family, as his parents - his PARENTS -...

Re: MN woman accused of fatal shooting in failed youtube stunt

And out of character for the Star tribune to show some decency by not having a comment section. I'm sure there are some in the newsroom just wringing their hands at the missed opportunity to stand on his grave while attacking gun owners. The Pioneer Depressed had the usual comments section in full ...

Re: Just got kicked off the range at Bills in Robbinsdale

I admit that filing a complaint with the AG is a bit extreme. The BBB is not a governmental entity and has no enforcement mechanism, so that's completely different. Obviously the first step is contacting the store/establishment and voicing one's concerns. I'm sure the dude behind the desk would have...

Re: Just got kicked off the range at Bills in Robbinsdale

I'd file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and possible the State AG's office. http://www.bbb.org/minnesota/business-reviews/guns-and-gunsmiths/bills-gun-shop-and-range-in-robbinsdale-mn-14000830 http://www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Complaint.asp If I was in your position, I'd just tell my sto...
