I was thinking more criminally negligent homicide. As in, "should have known better, but didn't". As opposed to recklessness' "Knew better but ignored the risk" more or less. So... Are you actually familiar with the legal concepts of "actus reus" and "mens rea"? Actus reus basically being...

On the other stuff, I honestly think we're both getting mixed up in two sides of a semantics situation. On the above... Fair enough, I didn't get that far in and should have done my due diligence on that one.

Dude... It says exactly what I'm saying it says and I didn't even have to read it... But I did because your description didn't sound right. And what a surprise, it wasn't. https://codes.findlaw.com/tx/penal-code/penal-sect-19-02.html

As in, what you'd be charged with if you intentionally pointed a gun at someone with the purpose of killing them? Well yeah, of course, I don't disagree there. But it sounded like you were implying that the very act of pointing a gun at someone, and them dying in that situation, would always be...

Yeah and that much I'm probably willing to admit. She wasn't just okay with him dying as a byproduct of defending herself. Expressing INTENT (there's that word "intent" again that I ranted on earlier) to kill, is what sunk her. But that's preaching to the choir. But even that is probably very...

So... Not sure if you're aware, but apparently what actually sunk her was not that she pointed the gun at him, shot him, and as a result killed him. What sunk her was that (from what I understand), in an interview with police, she essentially expressed her intent to kill him. Not that she had...

Not to get into the semantics of it, but "intent" doesn't mean what you think it means there. There are two components to a crime (aside from strict liability crimes, but that's besides the point). Actus Reus (basically the "guilty act") and Mens Rea (basically the "guilty mind") eg...

I so wish it were a higher percentage. Tons of cool pieces I'll likely never be able to afford by the time I could afford them. Only a single one of my guns is over 100 years old, and it's not particularly functioning. :( I do plan a basic restoration project on it soon though. It's a .22 and...

Actually... This is kind of a cool link to check out. Check out that EMA "Countdown" AR-15 mag. https://www.quora.com/Are-there-weapons-with-a-bullet-counter-like-in-the-games

It's a very cool idea, but I would also shy away from any precision mechanical watch-like design. It's just going to mean a lot of unnecessary engineering, machining and cost. I would imagine. In my mind, I'm thinking of Halo, Dead Space, and probably a bunch of others. An electronic display w/...

So I've been doing a ton of "cold emailing" for my website for the past several weeks with little to no results. See, about a year and a half ago, I started a site called Targets4Free. It hosts free printable shooting targets. We aim to be one of the top sites for free shooting targets, but...

For a long time now, I've awaited buying my first handgun. Now that I've finally gotten myself out of the cesspool known as New York, I can finally do that! Not sure on a carry gun, but my new place is fairly small and I wanted something quick to deploy for home defense. So a full-sized handgun...

Excellent source for free printable shooting targets that you can easily and cheaply print at home. Tons of variety. Hunting and pest control targets, bad guy targets, competition-style targets as well as trick shot targets to really put your skills to the test. Definitely check it out! Okay...

Yep, it appears you guys got it right. Discontinued Marlin .22 bolt action mag. And yes, it does have the release tab in front. I guess this was just the old-style .22 mag. Awesome, glad you guys were able to help me get to the bottom of this!

So I was rummaging through my storage unit and found a magazine that looked an awful lot like the one in this picture that I was able to find. It's the first one in the pic. I do know for sure that #2 and #3 are Marlin .22lr / .22 Magnum mags respectively, as I own both types of rifles. I really...
