assistant: Depends on the weapon.  The my dad has one of the old
S&W Military & Police (model 10?) and it has the firing
pin right on the hammer.  I have a H&R 22 that has a
transfer bar that has to be lifted by the trigger
before the hammer will hit the firing pin.
I think if you dropped the H&R from high enough and it
hit muzzle down the intra might cause it to fire but
the round would hit what the muzzle was in contact
with.

They are trying that w/ DWI cases in places but are

not owned in part or not at all by the driver.  Then
you are punishing the other owner w/o cause.  If

 Interesting, I personally have never dropped mine, so I wouldn't know
 if it would or not.
 But I have seen some in the Gun Range where I Shoot that have been
 blown apart from mis-fires, I've also read articles where weapons have
 fired just from being dropped, which again, make me believe that it has
 to do with rare-flawed manufacturing, and mis-maintenance of the
 weapon in question.

Write your reply.

assistant: -=<< Posted for Query * DO NOT REPLY THIS AREA * Use Reply Info Below >>=-
 I have a question regarding "Window Tint" on the O.R.C. chapter
 4513.241 as it relates to its reference to the O.A.C. section 4501-41,
 specifically 4501-41-03 (a)(3) in that section, I was recently stopped
 (5-3-96) by the Highway Patrol for this and went to court in akron on
 (5-21-96), I should mention also I work for an Investigation Agency
 which the trooper was made aware of at the time of the stop, he also
 took a lock-out tool from my vehicle ("slim-jim") stating it was a
 criminal tool, it has since been replaced by the Commander at the
 Highway Patrol Post which he is from.
 I need to know what *your* interpretation of the OAC is as mine says it
 is vague as exactly which window they mean specifically, I take it as
 being the front window(s) to both the Immediate left and right side of
 the driver and the rear most window on the vehicle (regardless of the
 type), Except for Limos and Buses.
 The trooper stated there was a supreme court ruling stating that all
 windows are to conform to the 50% rule, not just the ones I've
 mentioned. Also, he stated that he "couldn't see into the vehicle on
 approach to it", this is b*ll as he stated when he stopped me, he could
 see into it.
 "Being a duly sworn officer, and I myself an officer of the court as an
  Ohio Notary, I can not see him intentionally, knowingly and willfully
  lying to the court for his own benefit."
 Now, he also didn't measure the windows with a proper measuring devise,
 he just looked at it and said they're to dark, but in court he used film
 cards, which were not identified as to which was what percentage.
 If thats the case, can you direct me to the ruling by the supreme court
 on this so I may read it and get a copy for myself.
 I would sincerely appreciate any assistance you can give me.

assistant: Hi Carol, as you were just saying about Re: Impoundment....
found.
Right, that is your collision insurance.
as
oung
I believe that what fixes your car is your collision coverage.  Then
that is the deductible that applies.  I assumed that uniinsured
motorist coverage would cover our car when it was damaged by an
uninsured motorist, but it does not.  It only covers any liabilities.
Yep.  Actually, if the Blue-book value is outweighed by the cost of
repairing the vehicle, it is considered to be totaled.  Then the
payment would be that value minus deductible.
True.

I don't believe it does.  I think that uninsured motorist coverage
covers only the liability portion.  It does not cover damage to your
car.  That is covered separately under collision.   If there is someone
on here that knows for sure, I would like to see some cites.

problem
with what was described - I know that weapon all too well.
   I'm really sorry for the officer, whatever happened.  I still want t know
what did happen - because although my experience may be limited in some
areas,
I have disassembled LTOS of pistols to understand the mechanism - and while I
can readily accept that this would happen with a pistol with an external
hammer that was carried cocked, I have grave difficulty imagining a set of
circumstances (aside from meddling with the mechanism) that would permit a
Glock to behave in this manner.
   I will be interested in their findings.  The ONLY way anyone I know that
uses Glocks can imagine this happening would be if it were dropped and
grabbed
on the way down, actuating the trigger.  A Glock is never at full cock unless
the rigger is actuated.
