I voted no -- I don't put "I have a gun" stuff anywhere.   Call it paranoia or whatever, but the answer is still no 

I decided I needed a new home defense gun. I wanted something easily maneuverable, good capacity and decent power. I ended up getting a FNH FNX-45. My future plans are Talon grips (fancy rubberized tape) and a Streamlight TLR-2G. It's a big gun, but fits comfortably in my hands.

As much as I love TGO I have no interest in telling the world that there may be a gun in my vehicle for the taking.  However if they ever get anymore of those free Bernie Sanders stickers I would like to get one of those for my truck because it's a well known fact that people that have Bernie stickers on their car have never worked hard enough to have anything nice.

Interesting idea, and I like it. But isn't that just like the window decals? I mean you're still advertising that you might have a gun in the car/truck.

I have owned an M&P40 and sold it. Bought the Glock 23 as a replacement then picked up a G26 later as I was used to shooting 9mm out of the M&P40. I've been looking for a full size 9mm in other brands just because I there are other nice choices. Pick up a FN FNS9 with the 4" barrel. It's almost the exact size as a G19 and smaller than the G17 that was in the running when I was looking around. Came with 3-17 round magazines, papers, lock. The box is nice also, for a box I suppose. Interesting build date on this one. Almost new old stock at 3/11/14 test fire. Feels like the M&P trigger. Range time is TBD. Empty weight is good too, haven't loaded a full mag yet as tinkering time is limited. Holster hunting to come later. Might have to have one made as there are not too many out there that catch my eye.

Let me grab some of my fellow large black associates from the Bronx, jumper cables, some rope, a cactus, a baseball bat and a rubber ducky and we will take care of him Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Public hanging just might start sending a message

:popcorn:

I'd nearly as soon to be shot with it as to have to report it had been stolen from my holster while on my belt. :confused:

I stopped at Pizza Perfect in Bellevue. To my shame, I have never eat there. It's damn good. I got the Sicilian thick crust. I'll tell you what I thought at my first bite.....Pizza Hut when I was 10 years old. Before anyone flames me for that, the Pizza Hut pan pizza that was made 30 years ago has NOTHING in common with ANYTHING they make today. Nothing. Add to that, memories during childhood are often better than the real thing. The Pizza Perfect thick crust was soft in the middle but not undercooked and gooey. The bottom was seared and crisp and just greasy enough to be good but not so much to be nasty. Cheese stretched out for a good foot to 14 inches. Outter edges of the pepperoni were charred while the center was nice and soft. First time experience...they live up to their name.

There was a guy at Wally a few months back, I could have easily pick pocketed his piece.  I do often think about that myself.  I would hate to be shot by own my piece from someone else.

Do they have a class for us over 70 years old....run 10 meters, shoot, sit 10 minutes, run 10 meters shoot, sit 10 minutes.... LOL   Regis

There is a lot more to a car than straight line performance.   The SVO handled ten times better than a 5.0 and would run circles around them on a twisty road. It was a much better driver's car.   I have seen many a V8 fanboi go home crying after a car they should have toasted walked them.   I personally think one of my most humbling experiences came when my 500WHP Camaro was walked up a mountain by a 'four banger' Honda Accord in the mid nineties. There was no way that a hundred horsepower rice burner could beat me up a mountain I was raised on.    It is a lesson I learned well, and have taught many times since with my Celica.   It takes less energy to stay fast. If you have to slow way down for the corners, you will run slower overall. A well balanced car, even a lower powered one, can maintain a higher average speed.     I learned a long time ago that the driver/car mod will almost always beat power mod.

I prefer to remain a wolf in sheep's clothing.....or in my case....a rooster suit. Edit to add...but if I happened to see you broke down on the road this would be a guaranteed way to get my assistance.

I've both now and the PPQ M2 trigger is slightly better. I like the ergonomics of the VP9 better. Both guns handle well and are very accurate. The PPQ M2 requires some reaching with finger to hit mag release button. The VP9 mag release paddle on trigger guard seems easier to operate. I'll just have to shoot both alot and see which one becomes a Safe Queen.

If you have access to shooting steel me and a few likeminded guys practice shooting from the draw, shooting while strafing and while backpedaling. Also dont buy into the hype of buzzers and battle belts...I usually carry how I would with a "NY tuck", an IWB or in my pocket with keys, phone, money Practice shooting offhand and one handed. Also the unorthodox firing positions like firing from sitting on your butt, leaning around a barrier or prone It looks funky when youre shooting while in a crab walk but its real life stuff Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

I'm going to make get things rolling on this.  I'll let you all know when it's time to start putting in orders.  :)

I generally never put anything on my vehicle that would hint that I am carrying guns, for the same reasons that I never open-carry. But I was one of the first to sign up for the NRA license plate and it has produced very positive results on at least 6 different occasions. I recommend getting an NRA plate and buying more TGO gear like hats, shirts, or an upgraded membership.

Or maybe he's a big Don Knotts fan? Ok, I know some of you guys won't get it, but it's funny. Take my word for it.

How about a license plate frame. Then it works on specialty plates and regular plates.

  Yep.  Chances are so's the device you're posting to TGO on, though.  ;)

I really like this one. http://pistol-training.com/drills/dot-torture You can print the target here. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://pistol-training.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/dot-torture-target.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwjWnuHzkdrKAhVB2mMKHelQBpsQFggbMAA&usg=AFQjCNFoKrsIpXJPlkRRsxcI7l5xNgEg3w Start at 3yds. It's tougher than it looks and it will renforce good marksmanship while improving gun handling. If your range doesn't allow draw from a holster start from low ready

Sad part is what you said could actually be a part of the reason...

Picked up an M&P Shield recently for something new to carry. Really like it so far. Oh and of course I had to get a new holster too :dirty:

Less wear and tear when doing donuts in the parking lot too.

If it takes its power from the drive shaft all one would need to do is use reverse or forward transmission gears to change directions.

Good points Sidecarist.    I still can't help but think that many who open carry may THINK they are ready for a confrontation, that is, until it happens. He may of well been aware of getting approached and froze to respond. There is no amount of training to tell you how you will react until it actually happens - fight or flight (flight can mean not doing anything as they snatch your gun out your holster.)    Unless you're a combat veteran, most won't know. Which to me means all that much more to carry concealed. You then have that choice of fight or flight on your terms, not theirs, and if you walk away, they'll never know it might of gone bad for them. (And you'll still have your weapon.)   I pack concealed with the mind set that if someone is in the process to attack, stab, shoot  me (or all of the above). I'm going to defend myself best I can. I will not know how I will react to such a situation, as it has never happened. But I pray that I live my life without ever having to find out. I don't go looking for gun fights, it's one thing that is NOT on my bucket list.

Just checked, I think I'm getting my nails done. On a more serious note, I guess I better go and reload about 50 more rounds.

I'm all kinds of messed up.  I'm right handed and left eye dominant.  A rifle instructor noticed this when I was a young boy scout earning my riflery merit badge and encouraged me to try shooting left handed.  I had my own .22 at that point that I shot a lot.  I continued to shoot left and right handed using both my left and right eyes depending on which shoulder I was shooting from.  I will say that I can acquire the target better when I'm shooting right handed with a scope as opposed to iron sights.  I can't tell you how many times I've switched shoulders and been able to bag a deer.  I never remember letting one walk because it was on the wrong side.

Based upon my professional background and experence I'll just say I'm more then a bit suspicious of that story. Could it happen that way? Sure. Did it really happen that way? There are some places I'd avoid even if I had a trained, experenced and competent protection detail with me.

Sorry, I wouldn't do it, NRA stickers, or the like. They have a way of saying, " If you're looking to steel a gun Break into me first "

At one point when the car that finally turned him got to the front, you could hear a call on the radio asking for anyone who was certified to do a pit maneuver to come to the front to help. I assume the grey cruiser was the first one who could legally do a pit maneuver.   I was wondering why the car who had the camera did lay down a spike strip on that narrow road and end it there.

  It's not paranoia, it's called low-vis, and I practice it as well.

I know that seems to be the case for their coolers, but I'm not so sure the same would apply to these cups.

I like flat Glock triggers.  I have Zev Tech Fulcrum in one of mine and had a Phantom flat trigger from Rock Your Glock.  Either is fine.  The Phantom IMHO works just as well as the Fulcrum.  These two trigger have pre and over travel correction screws. I'm not a fan of the whole monty style kits that cost $$$$.  A 6lb trigger return spring along with a 25 cent trigger job and maybe a Ghost connector makes a nice trigger without spending the dollars for one of the "complete" kits. 

I carry a Glock 17 in an M7 style anytime I'm on the motorcycle. This one was made by GjohnsonIV and the craftsmanship is fantastic. I wear colors anytime I ride so concealment isn't a concern and it's comfy to ride in. Also works for long car trips. I'm 6'1" and have a 52" chest so custom was the only option that fit right.

Simple, Hildebeast needs more voters...........jmho

You mean PIT maneuver?

Why did they leave the first intersection he came to wide open?  The first 4 to 5 minutes of the chase they had little or no on coming traffic and he even slowed down to 45 mph and they tried no TIP maneuvers.  Not until they got into a congested area do they attempt it.  It's easy to arm chair quarter back a replay but I saw several missed opportunities to end this sooner.

Growing up in Mt. Juliet and moving back here this past year has been odd.  The town has tripled in size since I left.  So basically 2/3 of the population is a bunch of pricks that are not from here but want to change the way things have been done here forever, not to mention that they can't drive.  If I could take a cane to these people for what I experience on a daily basis in stores and in traffic my arm would be worn out.

I wonder if people would drive like such idiots if the consequences were getting hit with one of these tanks instead of a Prius?

I've just called CZ-USA and they shipped them right out

I put a decal on my truck one time it was a political decal and never again.  I came out of the movie theater in Knoxville to find two broken windows and a slashed tire.  My son had the same thing happen to him at an Alabama game in Alabama  .....they didn't like that orange "T".

Because it's New Jersey and no one cares about New Jersey.

  That has to be the saddest thing I'll read all day.

Anderson and PSA lowers do everything a lower is expected to do.   For an upscale billet lower, Cross Machine and Tool makes some nice ones right here in Tennessee.   I would suggest foregoing a polymer receiver in favor of aluminum, but that's just my opinion.

Prices will not keep me away.  There are several things to consider besides just the price per hour.  I live about 8 minutes from here.  If I want to shoot outside for free or at a cheap range I am at a minimum 45mins to an hour away.  Each way.    I would much rather pay for a short shooting session rather than take 2.5-3 hrs when i have other things to do.   I will probably also use the rifle range to sight in my rifles when I need to.  The convenience for me is worth the money.    Plus it is a lot easier to get my wife to go to a range to shoot verse going out in the woods.   :rofl:     :2cents:

Picked her up this afternoon! Didn't have a chance to do some good photo's yet, but even the bad one's make it look pretty decent. I have to admit, it is even better than I expected. The stock is incredible in person. I think I need medium instead of high rings, but I'll see how it goes. Now to just get out and shoot it. The build specs are: Action: Stiller Precision 2500x RBLP Barrel: Shilen Ratchet .900 Stock: Lidgard in Paduak Trigger: Flavio Fare' Tuner: Harrell Scope: Sightron SIII 10-50x60mm Gunsmith: Richard Gorham Action Bedding: Tom Meredith Rest: Arnold Machine Killough Shooting Sports is where I bought all of the components and they did the ammo testing.
