I'd been wanting one of these and happened across a smoking deal I couldn't pass up...

Dave just emailed me, We can do the Tuxedo style with the TGO logo in just black and white, They would look like this with a satin blade and the TGO logo instead of the skulls What do you all think?

You might consider putting a narrow black band around it before you sew it on. That might make the intent more clear, but I don't see anything wrong with what you suggest.

LOL, My goal is to have so many cool knives with our logo on them that it makes the Knife forums I belong to jealous, for a gun forum to do that would be quite impressive I would think

From what I've seen in recent years, you probably get a better education through home schooling.  At least someone cares about your education.  You would, though, miss out on the liberal indoctrination that occurs in much of the public system.  I know there are many public school teachers that do care about their students, and that's probably why they're teachers, but I still see a lot of young HS graduates without basic math and reading skills. 

I think it's best for me and the dog if I wait. This is really against the grain for me. However 14 months isn't THAT long. :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never met a dealer I likes at a gun show. They want to give you half what the gun is worth so they can make 4 times the profit.

You should just pay for a benefactor membership here and sell it in the classifieds.  Virtually no worries about getting screwed over as the folks here are monitored and generally great folks to deal with.  Plus you are supporting the forum.  Well worth the money.

Great Weekend !! A balding white haired man from Naples, Florida walked into a jewelry store this past Friday evening with a beautiful, much younger gal at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring. The man said, 'No, I'd like to see something more special.' At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. 'Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000, the jeweler said. The lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, 'We'll take it.' The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the man stated, 'By check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds, and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon.' On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said: 'There's no money in that account.' 'I know,' said the old man…. 'But let me tell you about MY WEEKEND!!!'

Most cops I know would thank you for wearing it in his memory.

I'll be in.

If Dave makes us a great deal on it I will get them with the Black lip MOP my stainless TR2 has it and it looks great, the knife on the right of this picture

go with the metal.  it will last longer.  i grew up in a house with a tin roof.  my dad grew up in the same house with the same roof.  the house is still standing at the farm with the same roof.  does not leak.  the last time it had any paint on it was on 1970.  so it does not look good now.  it is rust color.  i was up on it last week and it is still solid.  so the metal roof over the old roof is the way to go.  they got several colors now that will make your house look good.  a there is nothing like sleeping in a house with a tin roof when it is raining.  

Of course, IANAL but I doubt very highly anyone makes an issue with it. Aside from the possibility that it is department property (and even then I would be willing to bet money they would approve wholeheartedly) I can't see it being any kind of legal issue unless you try using it in a manner that would lead a reasonable person to believe you were acting in a LE capacity. I think that's an excellent way to remember your friend. Sorry for your loss.

Perhaps add an "In Memoriam" tab underneath so there is no doubt that you are not impersonating an officer.

Folks wear NYPD patches all the time in remembrance of 9/11. Don't see why wearing your buddy's would be different or in what scenario an LEO would give you a hard time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm sure we couldn't go wrong with any blade they offer, my name is Ugly and I can handle ugly things :)

I think these will look very good with a stain blade, I have seen some in person

The shape of the state is already with the logo, Pro Tech already has our logo so that is what will be used

Channel 5 News Investigates did a report about this sometime back and did some interviewing with some of the street corner beggars and I was shocked t see how honest most of them were. They spoke with a couple guys that actually admitted that they make more money per day just asking for money than many people do working an 8 hours day. There was a few of them that have made it their life work and have developed a system of rotating locations so same people don't see them everyday. They move around to a select set of street corners by riding the city bus and when asked where they sleep and eat they say, the Mission or one of the homeless shelters. 3 different guys admitted they can make as much as 150.00 to 200.00 a day.  i had to laugh at one guy that I use to see on a street corner. He would hold a sign that said Vietnam vet, please help. I finally asked him one day how he was doing and he said I don't do well at all and don't know why. I said let me help you out. Find some new cardboard and make you a  new sign that says Desert Storm Vet needs help. He said why would that help and I told him because son, you were not even born when the Vietnam war was going on so how can you be a Vet from it. He looked at me and said gosh sir thanks and he walked away. I figure if he is going to make a living bumming he should at least be good at it..... :2cents: 

I would go with metal if possible. When i shop for anything involving a warranty, I buy the one with the longest warranty, not for the warranty but it will likely be built better, no manufacturer wants warranty claims.

And then there are Ivy League P.H.D.s who don't know how to work a screwdriver.  :rolleyes:

I see very little difference between this and someone on a bicycle. They're both road hazards.   Just the other day, in downtown Nashville, I was on Broadway turning left onto 12th Avenue (by the McDonalds), and out of the corner of my left eye, I saw an IDIOT on a very expensive bike (in full biking regalia) who was passing between me and the car waiting at the light on 12th. He almost got his clock cleaned, and I sat down on the horn. No acknowledgement that he had done anything wrong. I had my window down and when he turned left on the next street, I let him know what I thought about it.   Flippin' moron.

A. Keltec B. llama C. Both of the above D. None of the above Correct answer. D

Back when i operated my automotive repair center i could care less about an applicants education per 12 years of education. My only concerns was is the person honest with no criminal record and does he have experience hands on Auto repair training and how many years. I can think of two times in my 35 years of operating a business that I knew i had hired a person with little schooling in book learning but both of them were great mechanics and I never regretted hiring either of them. I did regret losing them as their lives changed and they moved on.  I was never one to care about who they knew but what they knew was very important and in many cases what they didn't know I would teach them..................jmho

Count me in too

When I was in high school (graduated in 2008), we were taught to take and pass tests. Most of the homework was nothing but exercises focusing on test material. Teacher's curriculums were based on standards, if I recall correctly: set by the government. I think this all started when I was in middle school, and became more and more severe every year. By senior year, school was a joke. When I was in college, this wasn't as much of an issue. The bigger issue was the teachers that would push an agenda on you. This wasn't as big of a deal for me, because a good chunk of my classes were online. In the classroom it was more apparent. Some legitimate questions I had posed to some professors was met with redicule rather than any serious consideration of answering said question. Another problem with college was the lack of meaningful application: more what and how, but seldom why. I quit college with an A.A.S., and I was four classes shy of a bachelors. But after putting up with all the bs involved in getting a degree, I just didn't see the value anymore. College is nothing but a business these days. The school system is nothing but sham, too. I don't care that people see me as a selfish nihilistic bastard for my views on formal education. I just think the fact that so few people see through the B.S. that comprises formal education today, that participation in society is almost disheartening. Yeah, there is a tiny chance that I "could" have gotten a subjectively "better" job if I stuck out four more classes... but that is so superficial to me, it's maddening. But for some reason, I wouldn't take the choice of going to college back. I feel like if I didn't experienfe all of that tomfoolery first hand, I'd still be a sheep that thinks the government and corporations only have people's best interest, like I was taugh in k-12. I'd probably still believe everything reported on the news was true and not manufactured. I'd probably still be walking around with blinders on as it seems so many Americans do. My entire world view and philisophical views have devoloped far beyond what I ever cared for. Some people think I'm crazy, and that makes me smile. Some people think I'm a total asshole, and that too makes me smile. I just don't see how home schooling could be any worse. Wow...that escalated quickly...sorry to anyone who wasted two minutes of their life reading that.

Good ventilation is a key in the roof. We had all old venting and doghouses removed. New ridge venting and side vents. It has been great.

no problem with it on your motorcycle jacket.  

I like the tuxedo finish and satin blade. I'm in.

I know several departments including the state that considers badges department property. I don't think you would have any trouble placing the patch where you mentioned. I cannot give an informed legal opinion on this but I am sure this has been done many times before in one form or another.   I personally think that is an awesome way to honor the memory of your friend!!!

You keep this up I'll be a ProTech exclusive customer. I won't have money for anyone else's knives. I do want to see the price when you get a chance but who am I kidding I'm weak. My first vote would be for the Tuxedo satin blade. Looking a bit farther into the future you had mentioned possibly the Godson after the Godfather. I would like to see the TR-4, or maybe the Newport next. By the way this is good stuff Willis, thanks Joe W.

Actually, my Benchmade Mini-Barrage has a satin blade; I strongly prefer the satin finish over coated or polished...but that is just my preference.

Nice phone case. ...the pistol is pretty cool, too....

Kel-Tec.   Neither are "top-tier" quality guns, but the Kel-Tec guns do usually work.  Llamas have a terrible reputation for reliability.   Also, if the P11 doesn't work Kel-Tec will fix it.  Their customer service is excellent.  Good luck finding a Llama CS rep. 

Reads like Statist garbage. I sure hope nothing like this has happend or will happen in this state.

I think this is the best looking one I have ever seen

Received my powder from dim37015, Samantha and Adam today. Good folks to deal with. Also got entertained by 2 Metro police officers in civilian attire taking down a tall slim gentleman inside the west Nashville Wal-Mart. He proclaimed his innocents all the way as they frog marched him to an unmarked police vehicle. Good show and pistol powder, great day!!!

NOT a roofer buy make sure the shingles are rated for southern summers

Is this a trick question? ;)

Guys, I assure you all that like myself after getting one Pro Tech, you will become addicted, therefore we will do as many runs in the future as long as there is enough interest Pro Tech is by far the Best company that I have ever dealt with, it makes me very proud to support a Great American company like them so I am more than happy to do this for all of us!

I also would steer clear of the 223.  Its cheap practice ammo but it has issues at long ranges.   If you handload, there are tons of options.  If you do not, 308 might be the answer as it is fairly inexpensive but it is a bit of recoil in a bench gun / bolt gun.   I highly recommend picking a different round and then loading your own for it -- a low power 308 or 243 or any of dozens of others would all do better than a 223.     If you did go with 223, would heavy bullets do better at longer ranges (inertia to resist crosswinds etc?).   Not 100% sure...  but the ammo choice for 223 means the right barrel twist so gotta think about it before buying.

I don't think these "can I shoot scenarios" are productive. It is quite simple: are you in reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm or that of others? I have no moral objection to shooting someone for breaking in, however, I don't want to deal with the legal issues resulting from a shoot if I can avoid it. I don't believe the question people should ask themselves is "can I shoot"; it should be "should I shoot." If you have to wonder if you "can" shoot, then the answer is you shouldn't. If you are in fear for your life or the life of a loved one, whether you can or can't is moot, is it not? When the alternative is death, what person would waste time considering what a jury will say? Not me. So these "can I shoot" scenarios are, in my opinion, a display of a trigger happy mentality. Not that the death of a criminal would bother me, I just think folks need to understand what they're actually asking when these threads come up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

While I realize that everyone's individual plan for protecting their own home is their own business, I'd be remiss if I didn't at least ask you guys that don't keep your firearms loaded (yes, one in the chamber ) to reconsider. If you honestly believe you'll have the presence of mind to ready that weapon in an adrenaline fueled panic after your door is broken down, you sorely overestimate yourself. Why put yourself at a disadvantage? That "slide racking" sound is not a deterrent, the projectile that comes out of the muzzle is. My opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it, but I feel better that I've said it. For me personally, if I have a weapon out of my safe and in a defensive roll, it has a round in the chamber. I want every possible advantage I can get over that person that wishes to do me or my family harm

Just saw this, totally awesome...
