4/3/2012 8:33:50 PM GI-45, here you go. I was just given a 50$ Visa gift card. And have always wanted to try the AR-15 Stock market thing. So why not just see what i can do. I would like to start with the penny AR-15 Stocks just cause of the low price. Then as i gain experience either invest more money or cash out. But how do i start is there a online brokerage firm that would let me buy in with a gift card. Any good recomendations on reading or study materials. ColonelHurtz

I’m not sure about the weight with the mount and shroud, but the mfg lists it at .85oz. The mfg states that the battery will last for a year if left in the auto-brightness mode. I find the auto-mode to be the best option, but if you like, you can adjust the brightness manually.

Well, I learned that a .380 won’t penetrate a butane tank. And the guy who did it didn’t learn much since he’s dead:
When the teen’s girlfriend refused to handle the gun, Torres pulled out the gun’s clip and turned to a butane tank, the Monitor reported.
“He fires one time and shoots himself in the head,” Trevino said, adding that Torres’ family was living in the U.S. illegally.
Bounced off the tank, apparently. Hopefully, the other two learned not to drink and shoot guns.

Gene and the guys at the Calguns Foundation are awesome. In a piece on microstamping, the Paper of making up the Record points out:
In California, legislation signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2007 has been held up while the attorney generals office makes sure the technology is unencumbered by patents, as the microstamping law requires. A gun rights group, the Calguns Foundation, went so far as to pay a $555 fee to extend a lapsing patent held by the developer to further delay the law from taking effect.
It was a lot cheaper to keep the patent in force than to litigate over the issues, said Gene Hoffman, the chairman of the foundation, adding that he believed the law amounted to a gun ban in California.
Also, it struck me that I read these articles and I actually know and have met the people mentioned. Two, in that article.

4/5/2012 1:17:55 PM Well, I will give you a more useful answer than saying “if it isn’t OEM, it’s stupid” or quoting a movie… The factory Melonite coating is very durable and IMHO in the same class as Nickle Boron. I would not have your Glock Accessories coated unless the finish is starting to wear through/off somehow. OTOH, if you do have to get a gun recoated, while melonite is very nice, it is too thick to have added as an aftermarket coating most of the time. Nickle Boron is very thin. The slick nature of NiB is not a huge benefit IMHO because I want oil on my action (even if NiB has shown to function well without for certain periods of time) and that finish causes most lubes to wick off the gun over a period of time; especially when it’s warm out. Not to mention it’s shiny. If it’s just a range gun, I wouldn’t worry about it. But then again, I wouldn’t worry about slide wear either. IMHO, NiB belongs as an option on rifle bolts and bolt carriers, etc. and melonite belongs on slide, receiver and barrel exteriors. I personally would instead replace the barrel for a properly chambered and properly rifled one. That way you can reload if you so choose, or at least sell/recycle your brass. That, or get night glcok sights if you haven’t any. m4nut
Ohio: Right-to-Carry bill goes to state senate
An Ohio bill would let concealed handgun permit holders bypass competency courses to renew their licenses.The measure cleared the House on a 59-28 vote on Wednesday, sending it to the Senate for consideration. The legislation was among a flurry of bills that state lawmakers passed this week ahead of their summer break.
Microstamp technology is ineffective for law enforcement
Your editorial “Getting down to brass tags” (June 14) left out a few facts that might give your readers a clearer view of the value of adding microstamping technology to pistols as a way of tracing spent shell casings found at crime scenes to a particular handgun. Independent studies by the National Academy of Science, by the University of California at Davis, and by George Krivosta of the American Society of Firearm and Toolmark Examiners concluded the technology is underdeveloped, producing inaccurate results that are easily circumvented, either on purpose or by simple use of the firearm within a few number of rounds fired. Mandates to use this technology come from its sole source inventor who stands to benefit substantially when firearm manufacturers must come to him to learn how to apply microstamping to their products. The cost of $12 per gun comes from advocates of the technology. Firearm manufacturers estimate the cost at around $200 per gun.
Ohio House Easily Passes Pro-Gun Reform Legislation
Yesterday, the Ohio House of Representatives passed House Bill 495 by a 59 to 28 vote. This important pro-gun reform legislation now goes to the state Senate for its consideration, where it will soon be assigned to a committee.
No, it is not open season on Indiana police officers
Numerous news outlets are perpetuating grossly irresponsible mischaracterizations of Indiana’s new self defense law, which results from amendments to the state’s Castle Doctrine law approved by the General Assembly last session. “Indiana law that let’s citizens shoot at police” said the San Francisco Chronicle headline. And there was this from Bloomberg News: “NRA backed law spells out when Indianans may open fire on police.” It’s open season on cops! Run for your lives, men in blue!What hysterical nonsense. And it doesn’t help that people such as Tim Downs, president of the Indiana State Fraternal Order of Police, are being quoted with such alarming predictions as, “It just puts a bounty on our heads.” No, it does not. It merely negates The Indiana Supreme Court’s incomprehensible ruling last year that “there is no right to reasonably resist entry by police.”
