Hello All,

Any thoughts on putting an angled foregrip on a pistol in CA? Allowed? Gray area? Straight to jail? I know vertical fore grips are not allowed. Wondering specifically about an angled foregrip on a B&T TP9. See item link below:

My spouse has a non-HDHP through their employer that covers our 4 family members. Because of the medical situation in our family, we have found it beneficial to have dual health insurance coverage. This year my work stopped offering the old plan we used, and instead offered a HDHP that came with an HSA that the employer funded with $1500. We elected to have this HDHP cover me and our two children, not my spouse. So spouse has single coverage, and the three other family members have dual coverage, one of which is a non-HDHP.

During my open season, I declined the HSA because it said you were ineligible if you have other non-HDHP coverage. Despite declining the HSA, the employer still opened

Hello, my 4 year old daughter was activated (single sided) on Friday. She has complained a couple times about a “bong” sound coming from her CI.

By chance, when the magnet gets disconnected, do yall know if the AB CI gives an auditory alert? It seems like her complaints of the bong sound is correlated with the magnet getting knocked off, but hard to get a straight story out of her.

I’m interested in buying/building a CMMG Dissent 9mm pistol (link: https://cmmg.com/pistol-dissent-mk4-9mm-6-5 ) but I am trying to figure out how to do it. I am a LEO, so I am exempt from the roster. I am sorry non-LEOs have to deal with that in CA, it’s ridiculous and makes no sense. 

From what I understand, I cannot just order a complete 9mm pistol from CMMG and have it shipped to my FFL because it wouldn’t be maglocked, right? Even if the FFL offered gun smithing services, the maglocking would have to happen before it came into the state I believe? If that is true, then I have to build it myself? If so, could I buy this stripped lower from

It seems that LEO in CA can acquire 30 round mags and use them legally in their privately owned featureless rifles. Seems to be treated the same as if non-LEO acquired 30 round mags during freedom week.

But can LEO in CA use their legally acquired 30 round mag as a fixed magazine in a "featured" mag-locked AR-15? From what I can tell, on "featured" AR-15s, fixed magazines are hard capped at 10 rounds, is this right? It seems that for non-LEO freedom weeek 30 round mags cannot be used as a fixed magazine in a "featured" rifle and I don't see any exemption for LEO acquired 30 round mags on such a configuration.

About 10 years ago at work, I broke one of my floating ribs. Since that time, I have had random pains on that same side that from reading here and other sources after the past week I think are likely due to slipping rib syndrome. Additnally, when I rub my finger down my coastal cartilage on the side where I broke my rib, it feels like something is out of place. I can feel what seems like a rib tip pointing out that should probably be in coastal cartilage if my other side without any previous breaks is any indication.

From reading on here it seems that diagnosing this is difficult and most primary care physicians are unfamiliar with it. I live in CA somewhat near Dr Joe Forrester. My ques

Hello,

I am an AR newbie, only shot a “regular” AR15 a bit with the collapsible stock and whatnot. I bought a BR4 that I can pick up after the waiting period.

I am trying to figure out what optic to buy. However, the BR4 has the Remington 870 stock, so the stock is lower than on a “regular” AR.

After some reading, it seems that I want a lower height optic so I can have a decent cheek weld on the 870 stock. How do I go about finding optics that have a lower height? Is there some site out there where you can shop a bunch of brands and filter by optic height?

I’ve read about cowitnessing iron sights, and if I had to guess, I’d think an optic that is high enough to give 1/3 cowitness on

Hello,

For sometime now we have wondered if our 4 year old daughter had hearing issues. She was scheduled to get ear tubes put in, but it seems her eustachian tubes opened up because she no longer has middle ear fluid, so we did not do the surgery. We were hopeful when the fluid drained her hearing would improve. While it seems to have slightly improved, we determined her right ear is definitely impaired. We have never been able to determine the extent of the issue because at the two audiologists we’ve taken her to she would not participate in the test. We have a referral to a pediatric audiologist in the works.

Last night at home I covered her left (good) ear and spoke at a moderate volu

Hi All,

Just got back from this route on Friday in Western NV and had a pretty good time! I named it Desert Walker as it follows two good water sources, Desert Creek and the East Fork of the Walker River.

I left my car near Wellington, NV and headed south until I got to Desert Creek road. The road starts off gravel, but ends up very rocky once you get into the canyon and the grade increases. I was happy to be on my hardtail with 2.6” tires. Desert Creek is surprisingly strong flowing, crystal clear, cold water. The road has about 5 water crossings but at the deepest they were probably 2 feet. I could see the crossings being treacherous in spring, so fall was a good time to do this route. A
