Not to sound unsympathetic.... well I guess I'm not, but you made that choice. Take your 401k and roll it into a 403b and do what you want with the funds if you want control. Pensions are about the most unstable thing out there. Company goes away ... well, you get the point. Besides pensions, wellfare, Social Security, etc are all government approved Ponsi schemes. Some one is going to get royally screwed at some point. I am and will be self employed and it really iritates me when I hear all this whining about company pensions, retirement, insurance, etc. It is not a right it is an incentive to join a company and like any incentive the company can change or take it away anytime they want. Don't like it? Go work some where else, but don't blame the company for the choice you made. You make the choice in your best interest and the company will do the same. Would you feel sorry for a the company if you left without notice and they were left with a production hole to fill costing them money and resources? Doubt it. I can tell you no one except my family feels sorry for em when I have to work 80+ hours a week to make up for when an employee doesn't show up or quits. And I can guarantee you I don't get paid extra. Life is somewhat of a gamble my firend. It is just a matter of getting the most info you can and then making the best choice you can. If you are prudent it will usually work out for you and sometimes it won't.

You really think the government who has run a Ponzi scheme that makes Madoff look like a beginner is going to start applying law to themselves? The law for government is a way to control opposition and not a tool to limit themselves.

Actually it is not. You can remove the GS. Just do a search over on XDtalk.com as several guys have done it with no problems.

Her opinions carry as much weight as her "facts" carry validity.

+1 . Although fiction it is definitely spot on in essence.

That's purty. I'm guessing your not going to be CCing!?

We are actually coming out of a mini "ice age". The agrarian boom of Europe that led to the rise of the great civilizations were destroyed by this cooling. The period of the Dark Ages with their plagues and famine were a result. What is ironic is that warming is always better for humanity than cooling, yet the alarmist say warming will be the end of us. The great population growths and civilizations appeared in times of global warming. Don't forget these same scientist were wanting to put ash on the poles to melt them in the 70's because it was too cold!

I believe I was told that if you held someone at gunpoint it was a big no no. He told us we could use it to initiate the arrest but should put it away (without letting the BG know) ASAP. Of course this was a casual off topic conversation we were having, killing time.

You might want to check that. You can not forcible detain in a citizens arrest IIRC. Arresting powers and custody powers are different. Can somebody explain the difference. I'm going on what my limited LE and HCP classes mentioned.

Nice gun! I had two XD9's before and really enjoyed them. The mag release works great when the mag is empty. East Side is a great shop.

Uh, no. as a matter of fact it doesn't. same way Mexican citizens who have their babies here are not doesn't make their children Mexicans. You keep saying you don't like Obama but your defense of each and every criticism is telling.

Police are private citizens/civilians. They are in NO way military. So any company or agency who says they only train LEO and not civilians/citizens are either self inflated egoist or ignorant.

Very nice. CD's 1911's are Armscor with better finish. Very nice!

Inauguration?! What inauguration?! Somebodies getting inaugurated? That's gotta hurt! (pun intended)

Technically no he is not. He is President elect.

Most say some sort of .22 rifle for portability ammo cost, ammo portability, and you can use it for anything from squirrels to deer. Personally that's what my AR is for. Well at least the since I don't have the AK anymore!

I am in the same boat and I went with OC spray. My brother-in-law got some from his department and gave them to all the ladies in the family. Good strong stuff. I added a little pink carrier thing and she likes it. I just can't see my wife using a baton or stun gun/tazer effectively and she definitely doesn't care to train like she would need to.

When I was choosing between the SR9 and the M&P I discovered there wasn't much out there in the way of aftermarket upgrades/accessories for the SR9. The trigger also needed some work and I couldn't find much on it. That's why i went with the M&P. I'm sure there will be some but like any new gun it will take a year or two or more for those kinda things to get to the market. You can also try a search here. http://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB/

What I don't get about the NASCAR jacket thing is that Jeff Gordon seems to very popular in the hood. I mean I like Gordon and all but he's like the whitest, furthest from the hood NASCAR driver there is. and I bet brother's in the hood wouldn't take too fondly of being called Rainbow Warriors!

Do note how they completely "misrepresent" the Tiahrt Amendment. from Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Tiahrt

of course they probably saw a report on Nightline, so it is true!

an excerpt from his "Urban Policy" agenda: I have highlighted the interesting points. Nothing surprising just from the horses mouth or the asses rear - which ever you prefer. http://change.gov/agenda/urbanpolicy_agenda/

I've got the DT middy and they are supposed to be more reliable due to less pressue issues. They don't have the grenade launcher cut and handguards are a little more difficult to find. Just know that Del-Ton is WAY backed up and their website says 8-16 weeks to process. I would guess closer to 16 weeks to get the upper. They actually build theirs. With that being said they have always underpromised and over delivered on every order I have ever had with them. here's mine on a Sabre lower ad YHM Phantom 5c FH. I have since added a YHM flip front sight/gas block

Nice, very nice!

Have you looked over on the M&P forum? There is a current thread with this very topic. http://mp-pistol.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=17899 You can also find all your options here. http://www.mp-store.com/index.php?cPath=31&osCsid=3391022afe9be75bfd1e08fdfe853e81
