6 rounds is enough for me. I like to sport an old school Colt .38 Agent, with a couple of speedloaders. Plenty accurate enough for what I need it for (Half a minute of man). Fits nicely in a coat pocket or a pants pocket or rides will on a belt. It has a great trigger too.

Colorado Mag Limit Bill Affects Nearly All of Them
Moped replied to gun sane's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I love the statement where Col. State Rep. Rhonda Fields said “I’m hoping that people will just comply with the law." What world does this dumb butt live in? Criminals already DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE LAW!!! Effin Moron!!! -
We had brick dormitory style buildings at Ft. Dix. When I got to Ft. Belvior, we were in the old WWII style barracks. Jeez what fire hazards!!! I hated the reception station. Had to be the longest 5 days of my life. I picked up the smoking habit there, just to relieve boredom.

Looks like Magpul will be moving
Moped replied to TripleDigitRide's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Colorado Citizens have already started recall petitions for a number of their State Representatives. I could see this becoming another Wisconsin situation BTW, can there be immigration policy on Californians moving into our state? I sure don't want to see Tennessee go the way California!!! -
Oh no! Now there will be a shortage of SIGS and HK!!!! :rofl:

Small group coffee and discussion Knoxville area
Moped replied to Spots's topic in Events and Gatherings
I'm pretty sure I said I was in already, but jsut in case I didn't, I'm in, if I am not shuttling kids around to various ball fields in the area. -
I had my basic training at Ft. Dix, NJ (Should have been named Ft. S#$thole, NJ), and not once did I have KP. We had one poor old guy (he was 34 and a school teacher from Vermont), that got it 4 times! I never did understand how they did the KP roster. The thing I remember about BT was they asked for volunteers for a construction project and wanted Heavy Equipment Operators. They ended up with 4 volunteers, who were taken around the back of the barracks. A few minutes later, they came back around pushing wheel barrows. Lesson learned was never volunteer! Actually, I did volunteer for Guard Duty, at a motor pool. We drew our weapons and one magazine with 3 rounds in it (that was for all 6 of us, we had to turn the magazine over to the next shift. It was about 3 in the morning and I had been on guard duty for about 45 minutes, walking back and forth in front of the main gate of the motor pool, when I heard someone rushing up to the gate, so I challenged them. It was our CO. XO and he demanded to be let into the motor pool. Of course, he wasn't on the access list, he kept on demanding to be let in, so I charge my rifle and made him get down in the front leaning rest position and started yelling my head off to the Sargent of the Guard (our Drill Sargent), who after about 3 or 4 minutes came down out of the tower next to the gate. I explained to him what was going on and he told me to carry on and that he would handle it from there. I swear I think the Drill was either asleep or was punishing the LT, since the man had to stay in the front leaning rest position until he came down out of the tower and found out what was going on. I will never know which. That same LT was about 6'-6" tall and he would lead us on the road marches. That man could MOVE you didn't want to be the last platoon in the column or you were playing catch up all the time, because the column moved like an accordion!

President Can Use Drone Strikes Against Americans on U.S. Soil
Moped replied to Moped's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Personally, I don't think there is a defense against drones right now. That's why they are so successful. Apparently, the bad guys never know there is one coming until it is too late to do anything about it. My personal feeling about this is, I have no problem with the police using a drone to take out a bad guy, if he or she is an immediate threat to innocent civilians or LE. That is justifiable. Nor do I have a problem with how they go after Americans that are part of AQ and who are in other countries and beyond the reach of our law. What I have a problem with is using a drone to take out a U.S. Citizen, on U.S. soil that has not had an opportunity to surrender and turn himself or herself over to authorities and have their case pleaded in court. That is making those in charge, Judge, Jury and Executioner. That is against the Constitution and Laws of this country, regardless how those in power in Washington, try to justify it. Bush started us on this slippery slope and we continue to slide on down it. Obama and his ilk have done nothing to stop the process. This is one of the reasons I think they are all the same. What blows my mind is how Holder goes on and on about how we must uphold the law or we cease being a Nation of Laws, but when it suits him, he ignores the law. And make no mistake about it, the only reason he finally came out and said that it would not be legal was because he was forced into a cornerRand Paul and other members of Congress on both sides and had no other choice. His statement in the end, was even like a petulant child's response, who has lost an argument with his parent. If he had really thought that way in the beginning, he would have come out and said it the first time. -
A little NAA is on my list of guns to have. The only derringer I have ever owned was a little Hi-Standard in .22 Mag. Nice little piece for what it was. I sold if back in the 90's. It was actually one of the pistols I have regretted selling over the years. At the time, I didn't have much use for it. My thoughts on concealed carry have changed over the years.

Don't expect S&W fit and finish. That being said, they are a good sturdy pistol.

Greg Rodriguez has been killed...
Moped replied to Magiccarpetrides's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
You know, I knew a good many married guys in the Army, that were whores too. My experience was it works both ways. Women should know the guys they marry too. If he is fooling around on her, before they got married, odds are he is afterwards too. Personally, I don't have a lot of respect for either case. -
I too, am sorry to hear about your Grandfather. Said a prayer for him, you and your family.

TSA allows knives on planes... what to buy?
Moped replied to jgradyc's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
Just remember, lock blades and no fixed blade knives. This is supposedly so SAKs can be carried on the plane. Or at least a small SAK with the pen knife blade and scissors model. As far as I know a SAK larger than that has a blade that is too long to qualify. -
I would just like to point out that AK's with folding stocks, can indeed be taken to the field and for dragging through the mud and they will not put your eye out, if you fire the weapon with the stock folded. And that's all I have to say about that. :rofl:

I really don't see the big deal with Vandy's policy. If you don't want someone in a leadership position in your organization that does not espouse that organization's view, then don't vote for them come election time. Vandy is not saying that Christian Organizations have to have put people in leadership positions that do not follow the tenants of that organization. They are simply say that any individual can run for a leadership position, if they belong to that organization. If you belong to that organization, and you don't want them in a leadership position, then don't vote for them.

Now, that's an "F" to be proud of!!!

CNN Features News Story that Calls Patriots "Extremists"
Moped replied to Seabeejason's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
SPLC is extremist! They hate anything that even remotely conservative or libertarian. They are a residue of the Civil Rights Movement from the 60's. Personally, I think they have outlived their usefulness, along time ago. When Dees finally kicks the bucket, hopefully they will dry up and fade away!!! -
That's a nice looking pistol!!! Congrats!!!
