    I sure hope so... dammed near impossible in Sonoma County

    I used to commute every day on a bike from sonoma county to marin. After the 3rd time being hit i only do it every once in a while. The last time a wrk truck sideswiped me and ran its dually wheels into my leg, ripping it off the rearsets and running my leg over. I kept the bike vertical but have permanent nerve damage in my right foot and splintered my bones in my feet. Hurts even a couple years later, at completely random times. Even in my car I try to leave open defensible pockets in traffic.

    Drive down? Yes.
    During mod day? No, I had 2 beers so I locked it up in the truck until I drove home hours later, giving myself ample time to burn the alcohol off. Drinking and carrying is the quickest way to a jail cell. No thank you! Haha


    Yea this weekend we have drill for the NG. I don't carry when in uniform, as its a big no no. The center console is only used when I'm in the truck. Gets the gun off my hip for comfort, it's still concealed and legal. I have a Smittybilt Steel Lock Box *hidden* in the truck that I lock the firearm up for longer periods of time.


    This.

    I know the feeling, I grew up in San Ramon. My parents still live there and my dad hates how hard it is to get one.

    Is your phone dead??? You ever see any magazine catch's cerakoted to match my ARs laying around? I bought a shit ton of bullet buttons, but had no catch to screw em onto. Now I have random AR15s laying in my living room.

    I also will have more cerakote stuff soon. Just need my dammed mill to show up. super snail mail.

    ^^^mill huh? I have a poly 80% lying around that needs finishing if you're into that stuff.

    Now that I almost have the pickup trail ready I should have some cash freeing up so I think I'm gonna pick up a 1911 in the next couple months. What do you guys think about the Springfield Loaded 1911s?

    I never have messed with poly stuff. Don't want durability issues. I have all billet ones to finish. The cast are easy but forged are better and billet are best IMO. I just want legit milling stuff instead of just drills and jigs. Just want the cleanest
    Possible stuff. Drill press works well. I just like tinkering and projects. That's why trucks and bikes and cars are never finished

    As for 1911, Springfield is the best way to go. My go-to is a TRP full rail operator. I LOVE that gun. I plan on being buried with it, or if I ever have kids pass it down as an heirloom

    Stop abusing your phones and throw a box of crayons when you get pissed. It looks funnier, and is less expensive.

    Haha, honestly don't know why I bought the poly one. Was 20 bucks on a scratch and dent sale so why not. I have 2 billet ones waiting for uppers aswell.

    i usually tell people like you to build a little .22 out of it.. throw it in the safe and just have it for worse case scenario.. i think its truly the best gun to have in a survival situation.. i have a Mp15-22 and a 10-22.. one stays at home and the other at my shop

    I'm not sure if this was in Ca, but I no I don't always follow every law all the time. I'm sure there's more to the story but I don't like the guy so I try not to talk to him much. He's and old grumpy ass hole.

    And all you with ccw's is just a conformation that there is lots of folks on the road with a loaded weapon. I personally don't carry loaded and my guns aren't really for self defense, just sport. I would love to get my ccw .

    welcome... granted i still work with almost every shop in Sacramento almost.. my most annoying thing about shops here is not ever one knows there stuff or you get different answers every time.. cool thing with rob... is you get him every time rain or shine... and almost guarantee if he does not he will have it in 5 minutes because he has a bunch of vendors like me.. I am really irradiated that Bass Pro or what ever is going up in Roseville.. put people like him out of business
