This is my anarchistic-perspective on Kaepernick's comments: he signed a contract with a team. He agreed to terms when he signed. Did the contract include expectations of personal/political conduct? I dunno. But whatever happens to him now is between the parties involved in the contract.

Was it an Army or Navy pistol carried on or about the hand?

I am currently working on the details with Dave on this, it will be just like the Godfather only smaller, i will put up the official thread once I get it all sorted

The leftists think I'm some sort of crazy right winger because I simply suggest that people should be free. The right wingers think I'm some sort of crazy leftist for the very same reason. Neither one realizes that they are the same as the other. As for hopping on a plane, I think I'll just stay put because the government is the one that sucks. I'm just gonna keep asking "why not try freedom instead?"

I personally don't believe that the oppression is limited to black people. I think its anyone that isn't blue.

I preferred to drive. Took five or six trips for all the house stuff, the shop, the equipment and livestock. If you mean the US, no one chose to be born here any more than anyone else. Why should those of us who don't for the line for the masters have to leave? Are we hurting anything, other than some folks pride when we point out that they're not as freedom loving as they claim to be? Just because we're all slaves to the system doesn't mean we have to pretend the chains aren't there.

Right?! The amount of folks who talk about valuing freedom and then turn around and justify, excuse, and defend the legitimacy of an entity that makes them less free with every passing day is astounding isn't it? That at is what you meant,, right?

You did the right thing. If you see something; say something. A person walking around with a gun in his hand is not normal. The fact that he is a gun owner doesn't get him a free pass with me; he could be headed over to kill his neighbor. If he isn't doing anything wrong; he won't have any problems.

Doing a topic bump with some pricing released. As it stands at this moment if five kits are ordered the price will drop $150 to $1,300. Greater discounts for quantities above this.

Here's an example. It's Friday evening and I just bought a motorcycle. I stuck my 642 in a pocket*, hopped on it and rode down to the local bar* to show it off to some friends. It's a nice cool evening, so I left my helmet at home*. I had a beer*, visited for a while then went over to another friend's house. We smoked a joint*, hung out for a few hours and I went home. 1- I don't have a HCP. 2- I don't have a motorcycle license, bought it used on Craigslist. 3- TN has a helmet law. 4- I'm pocket carrying a .38 like always. TN doesn't define "under the influence" with regard to alcohol and carrying so it's likely my consumption of one beer is a violation of the law. 5- It's illegal in the state of TN go grow, posses, or use marijuana. All of those things are violations of the law, yet there are no victims. These things are freedoms that the government has eagerly stripped away with no justification. Some folks see the government as the storm shelter, and some of us see them as the tornado.

Lots of good advice. Go to a match and bring what you have. All the clubs will work with you your first time out. It will give you the chance to see what others are doing. It's not as complicated as it seems. Just go, be safe, have fun and learn.

The government I live under has been in the business of restricting freedoms since 1776. Not sure where you live though.

The last sentence of the article caught me off guard and I literally lol'd.

Marxists despise self thinking individuals. That's why they have taken over the schools. Sheep are much easier to control. Though I am surprised the right gave up control of the schools so easily. They have the same interests in an unthinking, easily manipulated population. I mean that's why they designed the public school system the way they did after all.

Asshats like this are the reason more and more businesses are posting.

Hey, that guy has the same tattoo I have, and has the same holster and gun I have, and he has the same shoes, and he was shopping at DG on Saturday too. What are the odds of that?

That was a joke, Dave.

The Bull in this thread is astounding.

You will more than likely go through multiple holsters and belts before you settle on one - don't feel bad about it, its always good to have extras and you can start with some "cheaper" ones to get the style you like (AIWB, OWB, SERPA, leather, clipped, etc) but definitely do not skimp out on the final choice of belt and holster. Belts are essential for weight - dependent on what gun you carry it can get heavy adding a giant phone and case, spare mags if you carry any and tear your lower back up. Some are more sensitive to weight, you end up not noticing but for work I carried a bunch of heftier stuff on my belt. Lint and sweat (especially if your swest is super briny because all you eat is salted pork and pretzels) will get into your gun - so keep it clean and lubed. Most guns are coated with something nice but constant contact will start surface rust and discoloration. Practice realistically. Dont be a mall ninja either - practice drawing and dry firing at home. At the range practice in plains clothes - tucked, untucked, jackets, suits, sweaters, offhanded, moving, etc - crawl/walk/run that out but be highly trained and discriminately lethal. Hardly anyone will notice unless you like carrying a 50rd drum magazine hanging out your gun. Dont fidget or worry - even if someone does notice for some reason its legal and they can FOAD. Tell them youre thinking of their mom/sister/grandma/wife. As far as ammo train with it - people love citing coolguy tests like how many fat chicks/phonebooks/gelatin tubs it can penetrate...first off I hope you never have to shoot someone it sucks...second you probably wont have to...third: shot placement is more important than carrying some +P+P nitro teflon coated race gun high caliber 23mm rounds. .22 will kill you just as bad as .450 BM - but whatever you choose make sure to practice. Too many times people want to carry some HST/GDs or whatever the "larry vickers said dis is kewl ma ninja" flavor of the month is and never train with it - so get comfortable as part of you never ending firearms and humility training. You can also look into shoulder holsters or even belly bands if that works for you - dont buy into hypes do what is the best for you. And as always keep yourself legally informed - where you can carry, what states honor your CCW, if the state had a law for declaring to LEOs, and applicable self defense laws Have fun. Buy smart. Train smarter.

Please, tell me what you suggest.

I see it this way, our Government may have its flaws, but I see it as the storm shelter that prevents that tornado from taking the life of my family while I am away. Do I think they can do no wrong, of course not, but looking across the globe there are very few places I would rather be. Freedoms may not be granted by our Government, but so far has been the one to help maintain what we currently have. Again, not saying everything they do I agree with, as like everything they (the people in it) can have their own agenda, but it is the form of Government that we have and at least there are a few checks and balances that try and make it so it's not a dictatorship. I am well aware of the runaway systems that our Government has allowed to be created and I feel that one day, maybe soon, we will have a reckoning to reset it (or attempt to) back to the way it should be. I hear all the rhetoric from those that say we are not free due to taxes, laws etc, yeah I get it, they want to be able to do as they wish without Government interference which is all well and good, until "they" decide that what they want to do interferes with my rights, then its on. Again, the Government, Laws, hell, society in general is not perfect but its far better than it could be, and I for one am glad to be part of it.

To be clear, I didn't mean to imply that you personally were suffering from Stockholm syndrome. My intent was just to point out that it's easy to draw a comparison to people that have experienced it and unquestioning patriotism, especially for those of us who have a different view of what freedom is. A lot of people will say they love America, are patriots, etc and when asked why they usually answer with something about freedom. There's a point of view (full disclosure, it's one that I happen to hold) that no government can grant freedom. We are all born free people, the government only serves to remove those freedoms and restrict the things we can do. They cannot create new freedoms and grant them to us. Imagine a tornado and having literally everything you've ever owned disappear while you're away. When you return home, everything is gone except for two family pictures you found in what used to be your yard. Patriotism would then claim what a wonderful, generous tornado it was because it gave you two photos while completely ignoring everything that is has taken from you.

What do you need information on? Get a good belt and don't save a buck on a holster. I carry both iwb and owb a FN FNS9 without worrying about being "made". I'm 5'9" and "fit" for 39 years. There are a million combinations of belts and different holsters. It feels like everyone is staring at you but they aren't. The smart phones have taken everyone's awareness and flushed it.

I believe that he did just put his money where his mouth is. Now, he was already on the bubble as far as his career is concerned but this could very well cost him his job. There are a lot of fans upset and if it hurts the owner's bottom line, you can guarantee he's gone. In which case, Kap loses his livelihood.

You want proof that if an armed robber sees you with a gun he will deal with situation?

I thought the prices on the ones Willis had were good? Maybe higher then the ones you were going to get, but still fair. I have a friend who works for Orion. Want me to check and see if they have scratch and dents available?

Yea, how is that going for you guys? Seems the leftists have taken a page right out of that book, or is it one in the same?

Problem being Rtic don't sell coolers in the size I was wanting & the nearest to it is twice the price.

Since I fly RC planes I decided to read the FAA's ruling....bad idea. (623 pages). Doesn't seem like our government can keep anything simple.

While on the whole I agree with this, I view the black community as the proverbial canary in the coal mine. For myriad reasons the effects of government actions are more pronounced there. What's happening there is coming to a neighborhood near you.

Law doesn't say anything about pressure washers.

Besides that Allegro is made right here in Tennessee

I do like the hot and spicy allegro. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bring out what you have Thursday to Royal. In general, most OWB holsters would be fine. Most single layer belts will be fine as long as they are 1.75" or smaller. 5.11 makes a good comp belt as do others. We like Master-Tac holsters, buy again there are many good ones out there. Pm me, I'll give you my number and we can go over what you have and help get you squared away. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

A good belt is a must. Followed by a good holster (I'm biased, obviously but it still applies). If you want to see what not to do check my thread "Which one of you was in the Co-Op." Carry method wise I either carry OWB or pocket carry. Only time I carry IWB is when I'm in gym shorts because I don't normally leave my shirt un-tucked. Best advice from me would be try a couple things and just see what's the most comfortable to you.

Sweat = rust. Lint builds up fast. I don't clean my gun because I've shot it, I clean it because I need to get the salt and lint out of it. While I'm at it I'll make sure the barrel is clean and the shiny parts are still shiny and lubed. Dry fire practice is worth it's weight in gold.

My favorite from him RIP Gene

New? Nah. We've always been governed by morons. Otoh, they do seem to be raising the bar on stupid.

This whole thing is upside down. Free speech isn't free of consequences, EXCEPT by the government. In real life, what you say has consequence. Kaepernick is free to say whatever he wants and everyone else is free to say whatever they want in response. There is no defense for Kaepernick necessary nor should there be condemnation for those who speak against him. Lecturing those who disagree with Kaepernick about free speech etc. is the epitome of the pot calling the kettle black while the pot is filled with arrogant hypocrisy.

How is this guy refusing to stand up and more disrespectful than people walking to their seats, talking to one another, vendors in the stands selling things, etc? While those people are all standing up, they're certainly not paying any attention to the anthem. Personally, I feel the anthem is overplayed. People hear it before every sporting event and eventually it loses it's significance. If you want people to treat it in a reverent manner, reserve it's use for special occasions.

He refuses to stand to so as not to show support for a country that oppresses Blacks? This country does not oppress blacks. There may be people in the country that do, but the country does not. Hell, we have a black president, Attourney General, SCOTUS member, and many Congress persons. Do you really think these people would allow America to oppress blacks? Do you think the majority of Americans would now allow the oppression of Blacks? A hundred years ago, I would have said that was true, what with having their own water fountains, or having to sit on the back of the bus. When Blacks couldn't vote, that was American oppression. Those were horrible times for Blacks, and the leaders back then were absolutely wrong, but the fact of the matter is, today's Blacks benefit from the sacrifices and suffering that their ancestors paid. Those folks took a real stand and made a difference that today's Black generation enjoy. What has CK done to help with his perceived oppression of Blacks? As far as I know, the only thing I've heard him do is literally "Sit on his ass". Here is a guy with the financial means and public's attention that he could really be a vehicle to bring legitimate Black issues to the public conversation. But what does he choose to do? He pisses off the majority of red blooded Americans. Sure, he'll have a few people who praise him, but these are the people that are already burning flags, and setting police cars on fire. All he really did was make things worse. I hope his career is over. I hope he gets booed every single time he takes the field. I hope he get's laid out by the defense every play. I hope his line doesn't protect him. You want to see what oppression feels like? How about we oppress football stars that hate America?

Proof or no proof, surely it is decent common sense that if an armed robbery is taking place and then the robber notices Joe Smith over here with a Glock with extended magazine hanging out of his britches, if anyone is getting shot it's going to be Extended Glock Man. Think a robber is going to stop and wonder/ask if he Joe is a police officer off duty or just a civilian exercising his right to carry? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
