Outside of the vehicle but in the immediate and authorized area still falls under Castle Doctrine last time I dug into that direction. The cited examples being getting fuel, checking your mailbox, or walking between vehicle and apartment. As long as Small Guy was in an authorized location for a legal reason the Castle stands. The duration of shooting is the issue in my mind.
This is also what stands out to me. BG was clearly running away when the finishing shots were delivered.

It is not a war crime the first time.

It is going to be really tough to defend that as "legal adrenaline dump shooting". By the basics of self defense shooting that is not a legal shooting. Even the initial contact is iffy; but once contact was broken and the BG was actively running away it became murder in my view.

But I cite the Heard case in Houston where the neighbor shot two guys on a lawn; one of them in the back. This will be an interesting case to follow up on.

Just like the RMR CC, Trijicon doesn't know how to price an optic appropriately to the market anymore...

for an enclosed emitter at almost twice the price of a Chinasun, it seems a bit off for their target market. I can get two Chinasun and warranty for the price of these, aside from labeling what improvements I wonder do they offer?

Nothing wrong with iron sights, good mechanics, and practice. I may be a little rusty on a quick draw but I am not slow on the hits.

Durability. Not saying these Trijicon sights won't fail, but if everything is built to spec then they are fucking tanks.

I've had the shake awake feature on two different holosun's not come on when I picked up the optic. If they were on my carry guns, I'd either disable that feature or not use it.

Ordered this today to knock the dimples off my sxp for an extended magazine. Half the price of Brownells so hopefully it works since it’s something I’ll probably only use once or twice.

On my Versamax, I just drilled it out and used a little sander on a dremel to smooth it out on the inside of the tube.

But yeah, speaking of shotguns, I took my stepdad's Remington 1100 (I guess it's mine now) fully apart and am deep cleaning it. I also ordered a spring kit to replace all of the internal springs, a Timney trigger, new gas system O-ring, mag spring & aluminum follower, limbsaver butt pad and a new Volquartzen extractor.

I'm only doing the trigger job right now since I have to take apart the trigger pack to replace the internal springs.

I don't think my stepdad ever replaced anything on this shotgun and it was used for every duck hunting season from the late 70's to 2015. I can't believe this shotgun still functioned as the O-ring is hard as a rock, the action spring has no rebound (I had to pry it out of the buttstock) and the mag spring doesn't try to fly out when you take off the magazine cap. The Goodyear rubber butt pad has completely hardened into a rock and I'm worried it's going to break in half.

I'll be saving all of the old parts to make sure that this shotgun can be returned to it's original state if need be. But by no means is this a collectors item as it was used a work horse. It's sentimental to me because I killed my first mallard with it, won a skeet competition with it and it was my stepdad's. So I'm going to keep using it like he would want me too.

Well after using my buddies easy catch loader on his 1100, I ordered one. It'll be the only permanent mod I'll make to this shotgun.
I also ordered an oversized safety that matches my Versamax safety (so the feel will be the same) and an extended shell tube so I can use this shotgun as a backup in shotgun matches or let other people use it to shoot with me in these matches.

I've been waiting for something like this gas pedal from Align tactical to come out for years. Finally got it in and am happy with it so far. It provides a solid reference point to align your grip to everytime and feels like a well made piece of kit. Right now it's only available for gen 5 Glocks and some other older random models of Glocks. I hope they come out with a Gen 3 & Gen 4 version in the future.
I have plenty of room to activate the light switch. Then angle of the camera shot makes it look like they are right on top of each other.

Too tired; insert witty comment about more toys than bullets here please.
For me it's more toys than time I have to play with them :(

But speaking of bullets, I saw these were back in stock so I ordered a few boxes to try out. I'm hoping they group well since that barrel seems to prefer Barnes cartridges.

Well this sucks, I just bought 500 rounds of green tips, looks like prices are going to be going up if you can even get it for the time being.

I read that last year Biden was trying to get Lake City to sign a military contract which included a clause to ban them from selling to civilians.

A gun account on Instagram said that his contact at Lake City said this was false and they only canceled one commercial order to some business in commiefornia. So I'm hoping this article is wrong.
