Hey this thread brought up a little smile just thinking back on some of the things frome SERE school. Good times (looking back now) in that school, times I dont care to ever repeat of course. Definatly one of the best and strangest schools I have been to.

Contact your local fish and game department, they should have some sugestions on what works best with the deer in your local area and they will also know of what laws and rights you maybe able to exercise in this situation. In some situations they may even handle the problem themselves.

I wouldnt worry about it to much, you gave her a advanced warning and she didnt care to take your advice on it. In my opnion I think it is a fine movie for a 12 year old (watched with the parents) and can prove to be educational. Yes some scenes are on the gory side but it is also quite hystoricaly acurate and a important part of our hystory. I think that it is important for people to learn and truly understand the sacrafices soilders have made in the past, It seems that now days many people do not see this and take to much for granted. Your typical G rated hystorical film dosent do that, but something that dosent hold back will begin to show some of the sacrafices made. This is just my view and being that I have no children and I am in the millitary my views and beliefs can be quite different than others. Either way you still have to work with her so It is probably best in both of your interests to salvage the relationship.

Chest leg and shoulder from a close distance, If this turns out to be a clean shooting then the cop definatly needs some time on the gun range. If is wasnt justfied I guess its a good thing that hes a crapy shot. Thats just my opnion though.

In regards to what to shiping it disasembled and what parts are allowed. From my understanding and from things Ive recived, virtualy all parts of the weapon are considered accsesories and can be shiped via rigular mail person to person except for the lower reciver. The lower reciever is considered to be the actual fire arm and requires a FFL to send and recieve. Of course your weapon is completly usless without the Lower Reciver. That is how I understand it but I have not actually looked at the regulations. I do know that I can have everything except the lower reciever shiped to my house without a FFL from dealers and parts stores.

Ok Ive read most of the posts and felt like adding a few things. Mainly becouse I like talking guns. First coment, a couple of people were talking about chosint the .30 over there .223 in combat (millitary weapons systems) For those of you in the millitary I would recomnd finding some 5.56 mm special purpose rounds for your M4. The standard M855 rnd is a 64 grain rond. The 5.56 special purpose or AA53 is a 77 grain round. Athought it is still a 5.56 round it is much more efective than the M855. Ive seen the results of both rounds. Still cant compare to a 7.62. Next coment, a lot of bad mouthing of the Beretta, I actually like the Beretta and do believe it is reliable if maintaied properly. (millitary weapons are not) It got a bad rep from the millitary when the first fielded it due to slides cracking and sliping of under fire. This problem was fixed long ago and only happend in a few ocasions. when Beretta first started produceing for the millitary they opened a factory it the US and used slightly different steel hardening methods thand the Italian factory (Beretta is a Italina weapon) All the testing weapons came from other factorys and passed fine, since than they have changed the procedure and there have been no problems. The other issue is the Beretta is always cracking the locking block, due to the design this is bound to happen but it prevents wear on other parts of the weapon and is easly to fix. They break regularly in the millitary becouces the recoil springs are rarely replaced in millitary weapons causeing addition stress on the locking block. It should be replaced every 3 to 4 thousand rounds. The other reason it has a bad rep is becouse it replaced the 1911 .45 A extremly reliable and acurate system (and my gun of choice). Not to mention most hand guns that get used as heavly as millitary weapons will have some problems and will be heavly judged. The 1911 is still the best though. All right were was I? I got side tracked. Oh yea one other coment, some one said that the 9mm is more acurate than the .45 Totaly not true. Acuracy dose not have much to do with the caliber. A 9mm is more forgiving than .45 so it may seem more acurate but in skilled hands acuracy is determed by the weapon used (example a kimper 1911 compared to a Colt 1911) and by the round used. The round load not caliber. (example corbons compared to winchester white box) Many if not most competion shooters reload there own rounds and for each weapon they will test several different loads to determine what is most accurate for that weapon system. Factors such as bullet weight, type and amount of powder, bullet seating debth and overal cartige lenght all affect the acuracy. Anyways I quite ranting on

I havent read the other posts so you may have already heard this. I am a weapons specaialist for the millitary and avid shooter. The 9mm gets a bad name for lack of power espicaly from the millitary comunity. The main reason for this is becouse in the millitary you are forced to used ball amunition. ball amunition dose not expand on impact with a person therfore with a small and faster round like the 9mm it will just punch through flesh. With modern advaces there are several quality hollow points and pre fragmented rounds on the civillian market that can be quite lethal in a 9mm. The 45 is a larger and slower round so even if it dosent expand on impact it will still rip through the flesh and cause a lot of damage. I prefer the 45 but I am comfortable with both. Most importantly is your skill level, neither is very effective if you dont know how to use it. If you are not very experinced I would recomnd the 9mm. Its recoil is much eaiser to control and you will find it more foregiving while you learn to shoot, wich in turn decreases the chances of developing bad shooting habits. Also consider where you are most likely to use it. For a while I lived in a apartment with thin wooden walls. A 45 would punch right through the walls posibly hurting a neighbor so for my home defence weapon a used a 9mm with prefragmentated rounds. Prefragmantated rounds are simular to hallow points but designed to espand and breakapart even quicker, this creates less penetration into the target/obsticle, Therefore the round is less likely to punch through a bunch of walls. Some people will say that 45 dosent give you high capacity like a 9mm will but there are several reliable hi capacity 45 avalible (although it will be a larger/bulkier weapon) So in short both can be effective, most important is training with it and choseing a quality self defence load/round for the weapon. Hope this helps
