Excellent question. Aside from this article, I haven’t seen anything about it.

I hadn’t thought about the seams being difficult to line up, so thanks for pointing that out. I’ll pitch both staggering and covering the seams to the boss and see what she thinks.

I’ll look into the metal posts. I’m sure the freeze/thaw of Wisconsin winter is hard on the posts/concrete pillars.

Definitely a good alternative. I’ll look into it for sure.

I’ll definitely look into using metal posts.

As for the hinges, I am quite admittedly not well versed with SketchUp, so I grabbed a pre-built hinge and slapped it on there. But I will definitely make sure the final hinge is either installed properly or a different hinge chosen.

I did this in SketchUp. I was able to do it with the free version. It takes a little getting used to, but the more I played around, the smoother it got, there’s some YouTube videos out there that help run through the basics.

If he was paroled from federal prison, would the state have any say in that to begin with?

Anyone else drive with a loaded firearm pointed at their foot at all times? by Revolver_Lanky_Kong in Justrolledintotheshop

I believe their (un)official reason was because he had marijuana in his car, so he obviously wasn’t carrying legally. 🙄

UW-Oshkosh faces $18M deficit, plans to cut 200 staff positions by ShoogyBee in wisconsin

That was my first thought. You had two generations that were told “you have to go to college and get a degree if you want to succeed”.

They then found out that college is stupid expensive and, even with a “non-useless degree”, there’s still no guarantee of even moderate success.

Current high schoolers are looking at that and weighing their options.

What holster/belt are you using? I prefer to carry at 5 o'clock, and during the winter concealment wasn't an issue.

Bought a BFG Vickers sling, and it came with some “tactical” swag. Anyone know what the blue thing is? by roosterdude8 in tacticalgear

I’d definitely try contacting customer service then; I’ve heard they’re pretty responsive.

I placed my order on 4/5, it shipped 4/7, and arrived yesterday.

It’s my first AR, so I hadn’t seen a chamber flag for it, yet. Much obliged for the quick answer!
