We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I was asked a question by a friend yesterday that made me ponder a bit. He just got his CPL and wondered if he could legally OC or CC his MAC-10 with a shoulder sling strap instead of a holster. At first I just laughed and gave him a laundry list on why that would be a VERY bad idea. 1. It's... -
