    Boiled Linseed Oil Safe?

    Most of the commercial BLO has heavy metal drying agents in it so that it does not take forever to dry. Cobalt is commonly used. So, use gloves and do not use it for anything you are serving or eating food off of. @whughett has it right above. The true polymerized stuff can be used for...

    What does your weapon training consist of?

    To the O/P, I do not know what training, if any, you have had. What my recommendation is to not worry so much about the hardware and worry a bit more about the software. Situational awareness is critical as well as training to face the likely challenges that one may face. Pepper spray would...

    What does your weapon training consist of?

    In all seriousness, there are many places where you cannot carry a "sword" legally and the laws on swords, knives, etc. is far more convoluted than firearms if you can believe that with a lot of locales regulating length of blade etc. Sword canes, etc. are simply novelties with little use...

    Jeff, It is obvious. Jeb Stuart doesn't have anything on this rig.

    Very bad tactics...

    Unfortunately in criminal law, a lot of constitutional law was made by people that had rather dubious backgrounds. However, the protections of the shady are also available for the average citizen--for the rule of law to work, it has to protect the good and no so good as long as their actions...

    Very bad tactics...

    I have a bit on the cross post, https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/what-is-exactly-is-citizens-arrest.868401/, discussing Georgia and Florida law a bit. Let me know if that answers your questions or do you have more.

    Very bad tactics...

    I agree, hard cases make bad law and this is a case where the jury is going to view one side or the other as initiating the confrontation. One will also see a great deal about retreat in the case, despite the fact that Georgia has a stand your ground law. A lot depends on the specific charge...

    Firearm Owner Liability for Suicide

    Tort law is not one of my favorite areas of law nor a strongpoint as it is a state by state mixture of common law and statutes. Frank and Spats are far more familiar with tort law than I am. That being said, transfers via loans in general to other individuals are problematic under the law and...

    Very bad tactics...

    In court, my guess what the prosecution is going to allege is that the shot individual had the right to confront and try to disarm the person presenting a threat to him because the two (perhaps including a third--the guy who video'ed it.) confronted the deceased and the deceased could no longer...

    Purchasing a gun to give to my son in the distant future

    Thread is veering off into speculation instead of focusing on legal issues involved in gifts to a minor. Closed unless the O/P or other has additional questions about the specifics in caselaw, statutes, and ATF regulations involving transfers to minors as gifts. PM me if that is the case.

    What’s the deal with Taurus?

    One of the issues I understand involving electronics is the use of no lead solder required by the EU. Since China and SE Asia are making the same electronics for worldwide distribution, they use lead free solder even if the US does not require it. Tin only solder can eventually make whiskers...
