To be clear, wasn’t saying you weren’t being truthful, but that he wasn’t being honest about it costing him to warranty the tools.

I didn't say that it was costing him. I'm pretty sure the reason why he was upset, was possibly beceause his marriage stank, and his deal with Snap On wasn't working the way he though it should, ...and at that time, I was an easy target to unload his frustrations. Looking back I get it. He did give up his truck soon after that. And as I mentioned before, we became friends.

I have no beef with Snap On, my tools were warranteed , the shop that I ran, went through two engine annilizers, (smog certification in Kommyfornia in the '70's)), an A/C recharge station, charging system analyzer, and a battery tester. Snap On made me a lot of money...pretty sure they made a lot of money off of me also!

The politicians need a larger cut from the drugs and human trafficking profits. Inflation is hurting their abilities to make their 4th and 5th multi million dollar mansion purchases on the ocean front properties, near golf courses...a billion dollars just ain't that much money these days...private jets that many have and yacht crews are expensive.

No more USAID $$$ to buy Bernie his 7th mansion!

Thanks for that…too rich for me as well, but I’m trying to put together a group buy with a couple guys from my wife’s office who are also huge bourbon aficionados. Hell, they have cut and polished Blanton’s bottles around the office as light fixtures! LoL

And I’ll be driving through there next Tuesday when we take our daughter back up for her last year of University…

Guess we’ll arm wrestle for the cap on that bottle of Double Eagle Very Rare if we buy it!

Rules: my “big” bottle of Eagle Rare:

Just watch, in a few weeks they'll find out sig bribed officials to frame the guy.

Involuntary manslaughter means homey that caught the charges probably F-ed up, but on accident. Going back to my days of being 19 and carrying a loaded M9 all day at work (armory)... I can assure you that the maturity wasn't there yet.

$5 says if this new story is true, that safety rule #2 was probably willingly violated, and dude got really scared and knew of the other instances.

$5 more says that when I was 19, there were a couple sentries playing fast draw games with an M9 on base... and one kid got ventilated and died. We had a safety stand-around for that even though it was not right where I was at. That sounds like a possibility for these new circumstances.

$10 says that one of my fellow platoon sergeants (different company) handed his M9 to his crew chief (Corporal) in Iraqistan to watch while he went inside a building for a few minutes (inside the wire). The kids (Marines) on the vehicle screwed around with that M9 until one of them took a round through the calf. I can't remember who shot who, but I still remember their names. That was the Wild West days of Fallujah.

Etc... etc...

I've got stories for days...but we already have one Lucky Duck.

*****

I have no dog in the P320 fight, other pistols fit my hand much better.

I'm also hoping that some kid didn't get ended by his buddy, screwing around... but I can suppose a thing or two because I've seen/heard a thing or two. Hopefully the second story has an adjudicated and just ending, regardless of what actually happened.

I have seen OSI arrest folks for some stuff that never happened. Friends of mine. Destroyed their careers. Over false allegations that had no substantiating evidence.

Arrests prove nothing.

And how much do you want to bet that SIG "assisted" with the investigation by having their "experts" tell OSI that it was absolutely impossible for their pistol to shoot someone, thus someone else must have shot the man.

We don't know yet who or what shot this man.

We do know that SIG is a shit pistol.

We do know that OSI is a shit detachment.

Hey guys, sorry! For some reason I did not see your comments on here. Yes, it is still available.

Where will I direct my blinding indignation now?

Remington 700 Long Range 7 prc. Had the barrel cut down to 18” with a Razor AMG and a TBAC Magnus RR

Hornady 285 ELD. I roll my own, but am actually fairly happy with all the Hornady Precision Hunter line. Single digit SD's, ES ~20. Little wider in cold weather. More than sufficient. Used it for Moose, elk, and smashing steel. They're all a hoot to shoot. You'll want a brake on the 338LM; I went for a Area 419 on all those. Recoil is actually very tame. Look into a SAC 223 conversion to round it out. Roll your own pills for a much tighter SD and ES; With 6.5 Creedmoor and Staball, I used 43gr to average 2878 FPS out of desert tech brass with SD of 5.3 and ES of 12... 1 hole groups became truly 1 barely ragged hole. Factory barrels for the 6.5 and 338LM; Proof Research CF for the 6.5 stubby, and I don't know what but whatever SAC gives for 223. I can always chase more accuracy, but, I've never really had to track an animal; they're all just *down*. The bullets just go where you tell them to with this platform.

not many places to land that seaplane, huh?

Not to detour the nature of this thread. Last retort off topic.

Not a charter. Grumman Albatross G-111, only one of 13 originals in the world certified to fly. Departed St. Augustine, FL cross country to Alaska coastline and up to Anchorage and beyond.....Lake Hood is the largest sea plane base in the world! Lots of glacier lakes to land on etc..

Oh, lord! You’re right!

No, that is not what was said in the article or the statement.

It said they arrested someone on SUSPICION of making false statements, obstructing justice, and involuntary manslaughter.

Nothing has been proven yet.
