As long as you're carrying fishing equipment you can plausibly be on your way to a fishing spot. There's a YouTuber who posts his interactions with police while doing that very thing.

Yep, definitely the cocking lever. Good job to the meathead who accomplished what nature could not!

Does the M2A1 have a safety? I thought they just gave it a quick swap barrel

Trying to think of what bit you have to flip...

Are you talking about the cocking lever? It needs to be pushed forward prior to pushing the bolt all the way forward into battery, because it catches in a notch at the top of the receiver in order to cock the firing pin (bolt goes back, lever flips forward, and vice versa). But if you put the bolt in with the cocking lever back, which people do a lot, the lever gets stuck on the timing arm attached to the receiver. Barely an inconvenience. But...

Did somebody jam that sumbitch in there so good that you had to destroy the motherfucker? Because that is fucking insane. That's like breaking a steel framing hammer. Like, I get it, but... How!?

Wasn't his pre-shock jock era prior to 9/11? Felt like he got more serious after that, but I hadn't listened to him for a little while by that point.

Wtf? Is he just going to keep showing up in the background of other more interesting events? Please move on from these tired heroes. Let them rest.

"Damn that Giuseppe! As soon as I make a 19 barrel gun, what does he do? The nerve of that man!"

I'm not even sure how to go about calculating that with any accuracy. I would hazard a guess to say that 1/3 to 1/2 of all US Navy ships are underway at any given time, but that's just from personal experience at a smaller base. Forward deployed commands (like in Japan and Spain) have a generally higher operating tempo, so maybe a slightly higher average overall?

Out of 350-ish ships, half is a fuckin lot. Maybe one of our highly intelligent officers can chime in with more accurate info.

I've got a bat. It may take a few tries, and you might forget some other things, but you get what you pay for.

Limited Liability Corporations exist for that very reason. I think a dude in France made a deal with a cave lion of some sort.

I wouldn't buy them but I think they look neat. Awful Taste But Great Execution.

I liked it and am glad for the diversity it introduced.
