  1. There is a place over off Hwy 5 near close to the Thornton Rd side called "Eco-Clean" that does this sort of thing. I have had them do large tractor parts and flat bed utility trailer. Might want to give them a ring and see if they can help you out... Here's their website. Hope that helps!
  2. Stoddard's does not. I don't know about Wild West. I used to teach firearms classes at Hot Shots (what is Wild West now) in years past and at that time, Hot Shots did not sell any reloading stuff. I have been to Wild West once and I don't remember seeing any reloading stuff. The only places I know of in the Atlanta area that sell reloading equipment are Bass Pro Shops in Lawrenceville and Davids Gun Room over on Buford Hwy in Norcross, Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna sells powder, dies, and some components but I don't remember seeing any presses in there... They may have some,
  3. Unfortunately, the Academy in Hiram doesn't sell any type of reloading stuff...
  4. They cannot legally void your warranty for using reloads. The Magnusson Moss Act prevents them from doing so, no manufacturer can legally do this. For them to void your warranty, they have to prove that the reloaded ammunition caused the failure in question. ...and it doesn't matter if you use reloads or factory ammo... if the ammo caused the failure, the ammo manufacturer is liable for the repair of the firearm... a factory ammo that fails and causes a part failure in a gun is not warrantied by the firearm manufacturer either. With that said, if you shoot a Glock and want t
  5. Who said anything about it being the sole factor? 60 percent is a majority, is it not? It's true, more than not, that cities with less strict gun control laws have lower violent crime rates. Nobody said it's always true. But 60% is a pretty damn healthy number... and that's only the top ten. Go for the top 20 or top 50 and the percentage increases. It's a pretty telling tale.
  6. If the extra $40 isn't a big deal for you, go for the $359 one. The differences is that the lower priced one comes with a Nosler reloading manual and the more expensive one comes with a Speer reloading manual. In my opinion, the Speer manual is a better manual and covers a more broad range of powders and bullet types. I bought a Nosler manual about a year ago and while it does have some useful info, it's no where near as useful as the Speer book. Also, the $319 kit comes with a digital powder scale and the higher end comes with a beam scale. The digital scale is ok and works fine, b
  7. As a general rule, most ladies are not going to shoot by themselves. They are going to shoot with their husbands or boyfriends... "Ladies night" will bring the ladies and I'm sure that most guys that come with them will not just sit and watch, they are going to shoot too... So, now the lady has brought a paying customer to the lane that most likely would not have come on his own (during the week). Then, they are going to be selling ammo to the ladies who are shooting, as well as the guys that come with them... AND if the lady is coming to shoot and doesn't posses her own firearm, a
  8. You are focusing on murder. And while murder is a violent crime, it by no means gives a complete look at the cities that have the most violent crime rates, which are: 1, Detroit, MI 2. St. Louis, MO 3. Oakland, CA 4. Memphis, TN 5. Birmingham, AL 6. Atlanta, GA 7. Baltimore, MD 8. Stockton, CA 9. Cleveland, OH 10. Buffalo, NY
  9. Yes, there is. If you watch the Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's flyers/website, they will occasionally run specials on their starter kits. For a beginner, with a good quality setup, I would recommend the RCBS system. Amazon also sells the complete kit.. It comes with a press, powder measure, powder scale, loading block, priming tool, and a manual. The only thing it doesn't come with is the dies, which you buy as a set for the caliber that you are reloading. You'll have a different set of dies for each caliber. One other thing it will be nice to have if he isn't going to buy new
  10. Sorry, but that is most definitely true. It's not a proven fact, but there is true correlation between cities with more strict gun laws having higher crime rates. There have been several studies, over several years, that show this to be true.
  11. Nope, not hard at all.... just gotta pay attention to what you are doing. Just buy a couple of reloading books and read them carefully. They will give you a pretty good run down on how powder vs. bullet weight works. Once you get a little understanding of that correlation, you just need to figure out what weight bullets you want to shoot for which caliber, the proper equipment and brass, powder, primers, and bullets and you're set. There are several different reloading manufacturers: Lyman, Lee, Hornady, RCBS, and Dillon. In my opinion, in that order, is the quality of the u
  12. I don't know for all schools, but I know when I was in school, to rent a locker, we (my parents and myself) had to sign a contract. In that contract were the stipulations that the locker can be searched without consent. We weren't allowed to use our own locks on our lockers. We received a lock with our locker rental and the school had a master key that would open all of them. I would image schools still do this or something similar. Without that contract, the school is still permitted to search the lockers with reasonable suspicion. There is case law on this. Law enforcement
  13. I don't know where you got that information, but that is not correct. A school locker is subject to search because it's being loaned to the student. It doesn't belong to them. A school nor a police officer can legally search a vehicle, whether on school grounds or not, without consent, a warrant or probable cause. If a knife, gun, drugs or whatever is visible and in plain sight on the seat, dashboard, floor, etc... that is probable cause. A police officer nor the school can just walk up to a student and tell them they are going to search their vehicle without consent, a war
  14. I don't believe they could have gotten a warrant. I doubt seriously that a judge would issue a search warrant based on an anonymous tip, without some other sort of evidence to collaborate the tip.
  15. Interesting! Thanks for that info! Just added that to my repertoire. I didn't know that "knife" was defined separately and differently in the Safety Zone Act. Of course, when I was in school, I and many other people, carried pocket knives to school every day and it was no big deal. We got in fights, but pulling your knife on someone was just never a thought. Times sure have changed.
  16. I think someone has possibly set themselves up for a law suit. If it truly was a "pocket knife" and isn't long enough to be classified as a "knife"/ weapon (over 5 inches), under the law, there's going be a problem. It's not illegal for a pocket knife to be inside a vehicle, while on school grounds. He gave them permission to search the vehicle and it sounds like they are charging him for something that isn't illegal.
  17. I don't know why. I didn't write the legislation. Right or wrong, they are exempt from it.
  18. Not so. Radar is not recognized at 25 and under. on roads that fall under state law. Speed detection can be used in residential areas of 35 mph, with no problem. Radar can be legally used to detect speeds under 25mph in local municipality owned properties, such as the courthouse, parks, etc... as long as there is a local ordinance that defines speeding. Paulding county DOES have this ordinance. The rule is that local municipalities are not allowed to write a citation until 11mph over the posted limit, unless in a school or work zone, in which they can enforce zero tolerance on s
  19. This is actually a pretty common occurance at McDonald's... and like you said, people aren't usually hurt. I'd be surprised if it doesn't happen fairly regularly at other fast food establishments too. What causes the fry vats to catch fire, most all the time, is someone drains them to clean them and filter the oil and forgets to turn the fry vats off. Without the whole vat full of oil, the residual oil takes all the heat, over heats, and a small flash fire starts. It takes a few seconds for the suppression system to kick in. If someone is close and catches it in time, all you ha
  20. Trying to cover your tracks, I see? Nobody said anything about the SCOTUS or whether it's a Constitutional right or not. YOU SAID that NOBODY is trying to ban guns. That is a false statement, PERIOD. It doesn't matter whether they take it to SCOTUS or what SCOTUS rules. The fact is that there are PLENTY of people out there, especially with political power, who want ALL guns banned. Changing the subject again because you got caught with your pants down. Nobody said anything about the diatribe you went off on. Let's focus on what I called you out on. You said nob
  21. And seriously, just like every other gun related thread you have posted in, you would be totally wrong. "If I could have banned them all - 'Mr. and Mrs. America turn in your guns' - I would have!" -- Sen. Diane Feinstein "Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of all Americans to feel safe." -Sen. Diane Feinstein "My view of guns is simple. I hate guns and I cannot imagine why anyone would want to own one. If I had my way, guns for sport would be registered, and all other guns would be banned." - Deborah Prothrow-Stith (Dean of Harvard School of Public Health) "
  22. I don't understand what the big deal is... Girls wore high heels to school when I was a kid... As far as having PE in them... can people not think for themselves? YOU BRING A PAIR OF SNEAKERS WITH YOU that you can change in too, for PE.
  23. To expand a little bit on this... A "Hub" does the above mentioned, as well. The difference between a hub and switch is that each port on a 1GB switch will run at 1GB no matter how many devices are attached to the switch. A if you have a 100MB hub, each device you plug in to the hub splits the speed by the number of devices plugged in to it. Depending on the switch, intelligent vs. dumb, a switch can also be setup to run different VLAN's on each port and even different speeds on each port.
  24. Well... if you carry a pistol with you and you aren't alone... just cap the knee of the person you are with and then run! LOL! (disclaimer: that was solely a joke and in no way meant to be taken seriously)
