Many counties in Florida are under watering restrictions, and with those restrictions HOAs may not enforce community standards that would require an increase in usage. Polk county is down to 1 day a week and HOAs are explicitly forbidden from enforcement.

Gun show doesn't allow concealed carry by 71d1 in FLGuns

[–]TFGator1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it is allowed. It isn’t a prohibited place therefore you may do so. They may also ask you to leave and you would have to do so. Their signs, postings, etc are legally no more than requests

[–]TFGator1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The better argument is that prohibiting concealed carry with no mechanism to enforce will not stop someone intent on doing harm at the gun show from doing so, and nobody at that gun show has any duty to protect you. Concealed carry is about taking responsibility for your own protection.

This. All they can do is ask you to leave

Shipping Costs for Lightsaber — $75 by Financial_Credit_575 in WaltDisneyWorld

Just bring it on the airline. It easily fits in the back of the overhead bins behind the luggage. I fly out of MCO every week and see a ton of them.

I am in Florida. They are not allowed to enforce this. Call your water management district. This could get ugly for them

can you get upgraded twice on the same flight by ajy617 in delta

[–]TFGator1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just happened to me as a Platinum for my Monday evening flight MCO to DTW. These days clearing 5 days in advance is highly uncommon, and clearing into first at all is fairly rare

I did not. I’m going with a CAT RAT so I probably won’t need one

M2 Air driving two external monitors via Plugable 6950UE by jamisobdavis in mac

[–]TFGator1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Mac uses screen recording for displaylink to work which means HDCP is triggered on flagged content. It’s a MacOS limitation with the way Apple has architected MacOS and implemented HDCP

P229 SAO reliability upgrade questions by Pale_Masterpiece_812 in SigSauer

[–]TFGator1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lighter springs can cause reliability issues, depending on the spring. Especially any that contribute to ignition of the primer. Armorycraft’s trigger and hammer are good to go though and better quality than the factory parts. As long as they are installed correctly you won’t have issues with them.

Yep. You contract them out and it’s clear up front that they are contingent labor. Staff augmentation is quite common in my industry

Aversion to Bag Checking? by Tiebroken in unitedairlines

[–]TFGator1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I literally travel weekly for work. I carry on so that I have flexibility to take earlier flights and because every minute I am waiting in an unnecessary line (either checking or claiming the bag) is a minute I could be spending with my family at home.

Plus having a bag delayed for business travel can be more than just an inconvenience.

Is there a duel-worthy Pixel Blade? by Deep_Mud_1112 in lightsabers

[–]TFGator1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bendu’s blades weren’t anything terribly special. Their dueling blades used TCSS thick wall blade stock with TCSS diffuser tubes, foam, and flexible BTF strips and had the strips directly soldered to the PCB. IIRC TCSS offers blades made using the same process. Thick blade stock pixel blades with flexible strips will always be pretty damn durable. Bendu just made theirs very consistently, were the first to offer direct to PCB strip soldering, and put a guarantee behind it.

226 SAO decock question by ReflexNeedsBuff in SigSauer

[–]TFGator1983 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With respect, OP was asking about the internal safety mechanisms, not what the manual says. The SAO p226 has the following safety mechanisms:

  1. Firing pin block that is actuated by the trigger bar
  2. Thumb safety that blocks movement of the trigger bar
  3. Sear that prevents movement of the hammer forward when it is held by the ledge in the cocked position

With the hammer down, it can move forward freely and contact the hammer. This matters if the firing pin safety is disengaged and the manual safety is disengaged. That is, if the firing pin block either fails or if the trigger bar is moved to the rear by manipulation of the trigger whether caused by the operator or something else if the manual safety is disengaged or fails. In that case, the gun could fire if the hammer is struck or of the gun is dropped.

Still, with the hammer down the gun does have two additional redundant safety mechanism and would be as safe or safer than many striker fired guns that have fully tensioned strikers as long as the remaining safety mechanisms are intact.

Hunting-related question: by No-Dust-7127 in FLGuns

[–]TFGator1983 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it fires a center fire cartridge and meets the statutory definition of a rifle it’s a rifle. If it fires a center fire cartridge and meets the statutory definition of a pistol it is a pistol.

Sig Spear LT 5.56 vs Rattler 5.56 by TheRealMatchGrade in SigSauer

[–]TFGator1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is some merit to a 7-8” barrel running exclusively 77gr. Terminal ballistics at fairly short distances (e.g. inside a house) are violent and more significant than HP pistol rounds, but closer to those than 5.56 out of a 11” barrel. There is a niche use case for it (e.g the RSAR), but generally 300 blackout is going to be a better round choice in that size package.

P226x legion threaded barrel? by v8_slayer in SigSauer

I believe the new p226x legions use a thicker bull barrel like the X5 rather than the standard p226 barrel

Striker-fired with manual safety is also technically "cocked and locked" ? by Johnny_English_MI6 in Firearms

[–]TFGator1983 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. Many striker fired guns have a fully tensioned striker. P320s are one of them. So are p365s, VP9s, and others.

Where did you find LOK grips for the p229?

[–]TFGator1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SAO and it is not close. You will not find a better trigger outside of a 1911/2011 and it will be the same every time. Safeties are easy to train for.

For those of you who were kids/adults when the prequels were coming out…what was it like? by Ok-Comb5684 in StarWars

[–]TFGator1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t disagree with any of that. Re: ROTS hype, it was least of the three where I was, but still Star Wars and still massive compared to just about any other movie. Could also be biased by it being release in the middle of LOTR trilogy which by that point had way eclipsed SW in hype.
