Sure you can. Note that I am not saying you can code or do digital design (or
analog for that matter) without understanding logic. Understanding the formal
symbolic representation of that logic isn't crucial.

Most 10 year olds grasp 'if you clean your room AND take out the garbage you
can have a lollipop OR a cookie'.

But that should be an exclusive OR (XOR) which even adults often get
wrong. That is, if you meant the 10 year old cannot have both treats.

Then again, the garbage and cookies scenario isn't exactly like coding
where such things matter. One should include 'but not both' after the
word cookie.

PITA to get a CCW in DE. You need to take a course including qualifying

That is true. When I was in DC I carried a lot and it was never legal
although before the 70s it wasn't a felony and not a priority with the
police. Long guns slipped through a loophole in the law so a 97
Winchester between the console and seat was my carry of choice. Once I
moved here, a CCW was a thing, I have one and I never carry.

I do think carrying illegally is probably the best training for the
proper use of force and the de escalation of possible violent
encounters. You know you can win the fight but the legal battle
afterward will make you wish you had run away. Also you are never
going to brandish an illegal weapon. Having the CCW seems to make
people forget that.

That is a habit that was untaught by virtually all firearms
instructors for the last 50 years. Finger along the slide is the
standard practice. Once you get the muscle memory, that split second
it takes to get your finger on the trigger and squeeze is more than
made up for by eliminating the chance of an AD.
It is hard to win a gun fight if you shoot yourself first.

BTW the way I was told, most people shot themselves re-holstering with
their finger on the trigger.

Depends on the state. Some are very difficult and much crime goes on
there.

I live in NC and we do have to go to a one day class (mostly legal
information) and shoot about 25 rounds very close to a target to
demonstrate you do know what end the bullets come out of. That class is
usually 50 to 100 dollars. Then a check to the mental hospitals for
around $ 100. Then to the sheriff office for about another $ 100 that is
good for 5 years. Then about a month or two wait. Not too difficult.
It is a must issue state, so unless there is a major reason not to ,
most every 'good citizen' qualifies.

If one does not want to go through that, NC does have an open carry
where anyone (that is not on some kind of restrictions ) can open carry
a handgun without any paperwork.

It is funny, the NC CCW is for hand guns only. You can have 20 of them
on you if you want. However, you can not have a large knife concealed
on you , or even under a coat on the seat of your car. Or even a rifle
or shotgun.

One good thing about a NC CCW license is that instead of going to the
sheriff office and paying $ 5 for a purchace permit for a hand gun, that
CCW license covers you, so you go to where ever guns are sold and show
that paper and fill out some government forms and take your gun with
you.

Seems that many poiice do not shoot very well.

Glock did come out with what is called a New York trigger. Instead of
the more normal 5 pounds of pressure to set it off, it is more like 12
to 15 pounds of pull.

One of the better ones is that an officer was carrying a 1911. He had
drawn it that day for some reason,but did not fire it. Later back at
the office he needed to take a dump. Hung it up on the coat hook on the
door. When he went to get it again, the trigger hit the hook and it
fired at least two times before he got it under control. So even a
safety does no good if you forget to put it on.

That is pretty standard. In florida it is a "firearms" license tho
(any firearm). A switchblade is still a crime for some strange reason.
The state preempts local gun laws but you could have some town council
making a knife an illegal weapon, even if they can't stop you from
carrying your shotgun "pistol" or even a street sweeper if you have a
big enough coat.
The CCW avoids the waiting period but they do everything else. I think
the instant check is just to protect the merchant or maybe it is just
pro forma.

This is a shall issue state. Fingerprints. a statement by 3 people that
you're not a serial killer, $50, and you're good to go. It's also an
open carry state and concealed carry is legal outside of incorporated
areas, which means about 95% of the state.

I'm not a lawyer but I believe concealed carry here means literally on
your person. A firearm in a backpack, brief case, or Albertson's grocery
bag is not on your person.

In a vehicle you can put a firearm in a locked compartment -- or under
the seat, on the dashboard, or wherever else you want to stick it.

I don't follow the 1911 variations, but don't they make some with out
the grip safety ? It may not be a true 1911 , but a model very similar
to the origional design.

A Spanish company, Star, made a .45 similar to the Officer's that didn't
have a grip safety. It was cheap and made from an aluminum alloy so it
was lighter than a 1911. Light, cheap, and .45 ACP isn't a good combination.

Browning's first pass didn't have the grip safety but the cavalry
demanded it since horse soldiers sometimes dropped their sidearms.

There may be some custom 1911's that don't have it but it is one of the
distinctive design features.

As I said in another thread I often put a rubber band around it for
competition. Some people pin the safety but that's not a very good idea
outside of the range. Safety mechanisms rendered inoperable or
handloaded ammunition don't play well in court.

The Star PD (which didn't stand for Police Department) did have their
popularity with cops. They were lighter to carry and 95% of the cops
never fire their weapon except for qualification so longevity wasn't an
issue.

My service weapon (1911) had a safety on the grip as well as the lever

While it is tough to get a CCW in DE, open carry is permitted.

Worst case around here is NJ and a guy was arrested and imprisoned for
as little as having an antique black powder pistol unloaded in the trunk
of his car.

I hunted deer in PA and DE with black powder. DE changed but it was
illegal to have a primitive weapon with bp and bullet in your vehicle.
At end of hunt everybody was shooting out their gun. In PA, if you
removed primer gun was considered unloaded.

Bond? I took a CCW class to see what it was all about but never
followed through with the permit. Around here anything I worry about
has fur and teeth. When I was trucking and had to visit the ********s
of North America squeaky clean legality wasn't high on my priorities.



PITA to get a CCW in DE. You need to take a course including qualifying
with your weapon

When particle beams/lasers become legal in a few years from now, I wonder if local and state rules will change.

Both of them are as fast as any switchblade I've ever had. For that
matter I've been flicking knives open since high school so I'm not too
slow with my Cold Steel Recon I, Spyderco police, Buck, or even my high
school favorite, the Mercator cat knife.

I can flip a Buck knife open, even my 112 but I learned with the good
old stiletto. It was just one of my dubious skills I got in High
School, along with moonshining and lock picking.


High school was very educational that way. We had an English teacher who
was prehistoric, a bit strange, hard of hearing, and encased in a ton of
makeup. Her name was Miss Foxell but that morphed into Fossil. Close
enough for lip reading.

Stan was in the back row honing his flick knife skills when it slipped
from his grasp, slithered down the aisle, and banged against the wall
next to Foxie, still closed. Stanton has some 'splaining to do after
class but he got the knife back.

Today they would lock down the school and send in a SWAT team.

Some have managed to snag the Glock trigger on the holster, another
piece of equipment, or even the draw string on a windbreaker. That's
what i like about grip safeties. You really have to go out of your way
to depress it while holstering.

That said, when I was playing around with USPSA I sometimes had a rubber
band on my .45. Even with the speed bump I wouldn't always catch it when
I was shooting left handed. No problem right handed.

I guess that is why I see a lot of race guns with a bump on the grip
safety.

A lot, if not most, of the new 1911's have speed bumps. You can spend
anywhere from $500 to the moon but they're all 'custom' compared to the
GI 1911. Mine has an ambidextrous safety although the mag release is
still on the left. 1911's were stodgy until they became popular again
then all the manufacturer's were trying to outdo each other.

For race guns those mag wells that look like a subway tunnel are
popular. The original design didn't anticipate 0.25 second reloads.

shot with their own gun when it was grabbed from them and the
criminal did not have to worry about how to take off the safety.
Police have also shot themselves in the leg drawing their Glock.



Seems that many poiice do not shoot very well.

Glock did come out with what is called a New York trigger. Instead of
the more normal 5 pounds of pressure to set it off, it is more like 12
to 15 pounds of pull.

One of the better ones is that an officer was carrying a 1911. He had
drawn it that day for some reason,but did not fire it. Later back at
the office he needed to take a dump. Hung it up on the coat hook on
the door. When he went to get it again, the trigger hit the hook and
it fired at least two times before he got it under control. So even a
safety does no good if you forget to put it on.

My service weapon (1911) had a safety on the grip as well as the lever
selector one, the half-cocked one, and the pushed muzzle one.

Are there different model 1911's?

There are variations since so many manufacturers got into the game
besides the plain vanilla GI Colt but except for a few customs they all
have the grip safety. The Spanish Star PD was a copy of the design and
didn't have the grip safety although it did have the thumb safety.

My brother in law and I were shooting a BP rifle when we had a misfire.
Eventually we got the damn thing to fire. No big deal except I was late
picking up my mother. It might have been less painful to throw it in the
trunk and pray that it wasn't a really delayed hangfire than dealing
with her.

Of what use is a plain vanilla GI Colt, if you don't put it to your senile
head and pull the trigger, useless senile blabbermouth?

It is interesting that 110 years later John Browning's basic design is
still doing so well. I have moved on to the DA/SA but I am still not a
fan of the DAO and striker fired designs. I did grow up with the 1911
and it took a while for me to change.
