    It says sales are down, prices not so much... And it's not a big shock that would happen if a pro-gun Republican became president. Obama (and, God forbid, Clinton if she had won) obviously helped the firearms sales with their anti-gun rhetoric, but their other actions (such as Russian sanctions) also had a detrimental effect on the industry, so they (the firearms manufacturers) really need to be careful of what they wish for!

    18 U.S. Code §930 - Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities specifically prohibits possession of a firearm or other dangerous weapon in a Federal facility, the latter being defined as "a building or part thereof owned or leased by the Federal Government, where Federal employees are regularly present for the purpose of performing their official duties." The term “dangerous weapon” means "a weapon, device, instrument, material, or substance, animate or inanimate, that is used for, or is readily capable of, causing death or serious bodily injury, except that such term does not include a pocket knife with a blade of less than 2½ inches in length." Notice of the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) shall be "posted conspicuously at each public entrance to each Federal facility, and notice of subsection (e) shall be posted conspicuously at each public entrance to each Federal court facility, and no person shall be convicted of an offense under subsection (a) or (e) with respect to a Federal facility if such notice is not so posted at such facility, unless such person had actual notice of subsection (a) or (e), as the case may be." Just to note, Subsection (a) states this "shall not apply to the possession of a firearm or other dangerous weapon by a Federal official or a member of the Armed Forces if such possession is authorized by law." How that would be determined--i.e. if a state-issued license is sufficient--is unknown. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/930

    One of them graduated from the same high school I did, albeit 28 years later... Rest in peace, Marines!

    Yep, which is why you can apply for unemployment that first (and only) month. At least that is what they told me at TAP 11+ years ago. Since I started a contracting job while on terminal leave, it didn't apply in my case...

    I guy I work with is doing the same thing, and looked into railroad ties but said it was cost prohibitive for him. Plus, there is the concern of ricocheting from previous rounds embedded into the wood. With dirt it will get buried and the hole filled in, that doesn't happen with wood. You will eventually get rounds flying back at you, that is why most ranges use dirt berms as back stops. Use the railroad ties (or even old tires) as support for a berm......but not as the actual backstop!
