1.adjudication means court-ordered commitment. he is not committed now or previously to my knowledge unless you want to point that out. adjudication can have many other stipulations like staying with a relative, not driving a car, taking medication, et c.
2. a restraining order generally expires after a time period and someone would have to constantly renew it. restraining orders are limited by jurisdiction, so if it isn't reported to NICS, this will no preclude a "proceed".
3. a DV conviction is about the same as point 2: it must be entered into NICS by a reporting agency to be effective.
there is very little stopping Phil from legally purchasing a gun from a dealer. it would be even easier for Phil to purchase privately, however i doubt he has the interpersonal skills to do either task. or the money. or the drive/self control.
Next saga - Phil gets arrested for firearms offences because he painted the orange tip black to make it look like a real gun.
this is not a crime, generally, if you own the toy. it's an import requirement, and most jurisdictions require it for sale as well. some (read CA and NY) require the entire toy to be transparent or an obvious "non-gun" coloring.
How the buggery do you manage to jam so many bullets in the barrel without exploding it?
"Hmm the bullet didn't come out, maybe I should just keep shooting."
S&W testing barrel strength with squib loads. this is done to ensure safety of the manufacturing process. revolvers can generally safely handle a squib or two without much danger, although it's a bad sign that you encounter a squib to begin with.
also that's your "immediate action" when encountering a stoppage with a revolver - you squeeze the trigger again. unlike an automatic which involves tap/rack/bang. this is gunfighting techniques 101.
It's a pellet gun and they aren't required to have orange tips, that kind doesn't. It's also not even a good pellet gun, because Phil has to manage to do everything wrong including faking owning a firearm.
i'm not even sure what pellet gun it is... i sell some Gamo, RWS, Anschutz, Beeman, and Daisy, and none on my shelves look like it close enough and i cover a wide range. it might be some shit one i don't sell TBH.
speaking on it though, it appears to be a Tavor of some kind with a cheap tasco/barska red dot sight, and anAR of some kind with a different model tasco/barska red dot. on the table is some sort of long arm, possibly a mil surp scoped rifle, some handgun magaziznes. on the left are three soft rifle cases. none of these are Phil's unless this is literally his 1st day owning them.
the Tavor alone is about $1500 and goes up, depending on features, and the cheapest AR is around $500. not including accessories, ammunition.
he has poor shooting stance - too "soft" and not supporting the rifles, his feet aren't positioned well to stabilize aim, and he isn't using his shoulder or cheek properly. likewise it seems he is forcing his head down to the weapon instead of adjusting the weapon's sights up into his eye's plane of vision - a common mistake that will result is very low or very high shots off target. his hips forward will likewise tend to shoot high, but on paper, and his left handedness will drift shots to the right.
i honestly can't readily identify the pistol from the image shown. that's a retarded way to carry one though - should it need to be drawn is his plan to pull the entire thing up through his belt, or push it down into the pocket and then upwards? that motion has a pretty solid chance of ejecting the magazine as the release is typically right between the rear of the trigger guard and the grip.
secondly it vaguely looks like a Walther PPS or XD-9, but is lacking any of the features of either gun, it just has a vague resemblance. there is no obvious slide release either, just a disassembly lever. usually when you see a handgun with a "line" like that on the grip, it is a compact or subcompact with a larger capacity magazine and a grip extension - however i don't recognize that particular magazine style as most magazine extensions are pretty flat as the grip of a compact or subcompact is equally relatively flat, maybe with a small stair step. and what's with the red (pink?) lettering on slide? there is unlikely to be an ejection port at that position, so that's some milling to lighten/stylize the slide, similar to a USP or S&W M&P, but it isn't that from the features of the frame.
might be a pellet gun, but i don't know which one. cheap pellet guns can be dangerous as the alloy they're made of can rupture and injure a shooter.
