  1. I like how the floor breaks out from underneath Jodie Foster in the cave, but disappears somewhere in the ten feet she fell and doesn't smash Navarro. And it was nice that the caves had a nice level floor covered with snow (I guess it snows in caves) and the ceilings were the perfect height for a human. And no need to use a rope or anything or even have a general plan on how not to get lost.

    My current read is that this is most likely the correct reading.  Again, just being shitty and ignoring warning signs makes for a tough case to prosecute.  Giving your troubled kid a handgun . . . in violation of local law . . . that puts it over the top.

    If you gave your 10 year old the keys to your 'Vette and told him to run up to the store to buy you some Hot Pockets because you're too wasted to drive, you're gonna get popped when that kid gets excited, punches it to 90 mph, and runs over an old lady at the crosswalk.  You gave an unlicensed 10 yr old the keys to a supercharged dangerous machine.  Yeah, you're a criminal.

    My wife has started calling my cell phone instead of yelling at me across the house.  She knows my phone is on me 99% of the time.

    It's the better of the 2 options for me so far.

    My wife would, but she would need me to help her find her phone first.

    OP’s first ever post is a 4-year necrobump on handicap parking?

    How can the OP's first post be a necrobump?

  5. From what I'm pulling out of my butt, I seem to recall that the FBI or whoever messed with the gun enough that they managed to get the hammer to drop on a live chamber without the trigger being pulled. I guess they got expert opinions that said the only way that can happen is if they really did screw it up in their investigations. Now, here's the thing with the modifications; there is an entire (small scale) industry devoted to slicking up cowboy style guns for both Hollywood and a sport called Cowboy Action Shooting in which a bunch of old parts dress up like they are in the old west and have shooting completions.  They lighten the hammer springs up a bit, and polish all the surfaces where metal moves against metal.  It makes a fast draw much faster for someone who practices. Hollywood sends their guns out to the same folks, because they also crave that historically inaccurate fast draw. His defense is likely to argue that the action job was done incorrectly and caused the hammer to drop without touching the trigger. Regardless, there is not a single source from any actual armorer from before or just after the incident that says what he did was standard protocol. I ha e found nothing but the opposite. And the law don't care if your SOP's say it's OK to point gun at somebody and pull the trigger. 

     

    All that said, he should probably get some sort of plea deal out of this. Punishing people for the sake of punishing them is dumb. 

  6. Every election cycle, the executive branch assumes more and more power through the expansion of the Chevron doctrine, yet we have a bunch of cheer leaders in here acting like it doesn't enable the kind of authoritarianism we saw under the past administration. It clearly needs to be curtailed. Let's hope that's all they do. Worst case, mass chaos, but with the silver lining that the pubs won't be able to pull as much shuts off. 

  7. Yeah, a light plea deal or no charges makes sense, although the common narrative about how he didn't do anything wrong contradicts everything I've seen from actual Hollywood arnorers about gun safety on set from before or shortly after the incident.

    JJ Humphrey is the dumbest guy at the capitol, and there are a lot of dumb guys up there.  He purposed a bill to allow hunting license sold for bigfoot.

    Lol, if your gonna make a post about how dumb somebody is, you should probably proof read it first...not that your point doesn't stand. 

    Somehow, my ggggg grandfather came over in the 1820's with a very Danish  name that has survived all these years intact. The ship manifest from his arrival and his confirmation records from Copenhagen match how we spell it today. 

    On the other hand, my first name came from my great grandmother's maiden name, my ancestor on that side came over during or before the Revolutionary War. He was French, and the spelling of his name is all over the place even in contemporary records.

    Filed for SBR May 23. Still waiting 

     

    *Efiled with Silencer Shop

    I filed my amnesty brace by mail on May 31, and got my approval on September 18. I also only sent in one fingerprint card instead of two, so I was expecting to have to redo it. I guess I got lucky.
