I can't reconcile this comment with the fact that Castile's gun was never drawn.

This weeks episode certainly didn't disappoint. Probably one of the best for dialogue combined with action I can remember since Season 2's Blackwater.

I was just going to say, why are we teaching armed citizens how to interact with police when it seems the police quite urgently more need the lesson on how to interact with armed citizens.

It being EOTech, I wonder if the 1x setting is a true 1x reflex or the usual not as such we get with 1x6x scopes.

Good stuff. Here's hoping the NDAA is relativity smooth in passing. The CMP 1911 part won't be what could hold it up, so it's just a wait and see at this point.

I'm going to get an AK-47 someday, just being stingy with money currently. I want the "classic" look one though. Either an old beat up wood stock, or the under folder. Aside from the collection itch it scratches, it's quite possibly the most practical rifle for all contingencies. Fantastic yet simple mechanics in operation, that you can drag through the mud and still put rounds downrange. The ammo is good in punch without being prohibitively expensive to stock up on or too bulky to carry in large qualities. Yes, 7.62x39 starts to suck fast past about 200yds, but who's ever going to need that in a real world scenario here in the US? I love ARs. They'll always be my primary go-to...but the AK will be ready if they ever go down or I can't get parts. Just as soon as I get one anyway.

Hard for me to have anything but bewilderment for anyone not named Dennis Rodman who thinks they can just go to North Korea and have everything be hunky dory. The fact that this warning is needed beyond it's primary use as a message to the regime is disappointing.

The Post Exchange's key benefit was always location, never selection, and sometimes pricing. Up at Fort Campbell, if you lived on post they were just a faster trip instead of going to a Walmart for a quick run, but very few people would go there if they lived off post, usually combining it with a trip to the commissary that was across the street before they moved it. Now, for somewhere like Fort Polk or any other post in the middle of nothing, the PX is great as local towns like Leesville, LA sucked (at least back then), and the drive to Alexandria at an hour or so made the PX a real benefit to the troops and families. I'll see what they have to offer when comparison shopping, but I'm not getting excited with as much commerce is already competing for my dollar.

Like having another option for shopping...but access to AAFES again isn't any kind of game changer.

I only venture to the theater for James Bond and Star Trek movies. Dunkirk is as close as it can come to a waiver for that rule, but I'm still leaning towards waiting for it to come out for home consumption.

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering...especially with some of the changes that have (or haven't) occurred in the TV series versus the books. I think we're at a fork in the road story wise with books and TV shows...but it's not an absurdity or anything, so like you I'm happy.

If anyone has the time, the books that the show was created from are fantastic. They've have to make some changes for television adaptation of course, and as of last season, they're officially ahead of the books storylines, but the TV show has kept true to them instead of just paying to have the characters and back stories to play around with.

Well, it's sort of the first part of the last season. HBO decided to do two mini-seasons of 7 episodes each to ensure they could get everything in while having enough time for post production, CGI, and what not. Kind of how Mad Men finished it's run, just a lot more logistics behind it. I'm cautiously optimistic they don't screw this up. The two key players behind the scenes (those guys you see talking about the episode after it) have done a great job to date. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk.

Highly recommend the services offered here. Great guy to give your business to, and the quality of his work speaks for itself.

I grew up in the Boston area. Despite my liberal tendencies, I'm no stranger to working an honest day. Money was never abundant in the house, so the summer before I started high school, I literally hoped on my bike one day, went place to place asking if they needed help they were willing to pay me for and handing out my contact info handwritten on some slips of paper to leave behind. The owner of a local glass company (home windows, windshields, mirrors, ect) hired me on the spot because he was impressed I was willing to do all that just to make a few bucks. After that job, I stocked shelves at the local convenience store for the rest of high school, working after school hours about three days a week and on Sunday morning would come in at 7am to put the various sections of the Sunday papers together (news, lifestyle, sports, funnies/coupons). In the summer before my senior year of high school, I enlisted in the Army on the delayed entry program. I knew I wanted to do the same as my father and serve the country for a bit after high school, and on the selfish side, I honestly wanted to branch out of the area I'd lived all my life and get some money for college someday. In the Army, I spent 8.5 years in, all my post basic training and AIT time at Fort Campbell with deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. Got out in April 2009, and took a contract job with an IT program supporting ground level units. I lived in Kuwait for 2.5 years, did a year back at Fort Campbell, then deployed to Afghanistan as an embed with two of the 101st Brigades for a year, getting the opportunity to spend time with front line units to show them how to use our system in their mission. Then, once the wars winded down, and my stop on the gravy train came up (I was on a sub-contract), I decided to take the Army up on its generous offer to pay for an undergrad degree. Decided to stay in Tennessee, moved from Clarksville to Murfreesboro to make a break from the military and earned a BS in Political Science with a Public Admin focus in three years by going straight through with full time in the summers. As the military was paying for the education and giving me a decent little stipend for housing, I didn't need a full time job, but found a great part-time one as an academic mentor for the MTSU athletic department. I spent two of those three years in school primarily with freshman on the MTSU football team during their first year of college; helping them with study plans, teaching them how to allocate time, giving feedback and corrections on work they did, and running their study hall Mon-Thurs. It was a very rewarding job, and seeing the gains some of them strived for and hit in their year with me was a great feeling. While I was at about the halfway point in college, another TGO'er took me under his wing, and helped me with finding a job when I graduated. He rounded out the edges that came from working with the military and football players, teaching me what I needed to know for a full jump into the private sector. On top of all that, he introduced me to the CEO of the company I work for now...talk about doing a guy a favor. That leads to the "what do you do question." For the last six months, I've worked for a medical management services company of a large radiology practice group. My title is Clinical Operations Specialist, and it's as vague as it sounds because I was really hired with a wide open portfolio. I do a little bit of everything- project management, data analysis, financial proformas, working with all other sections (revenue cycle, IT, HR) to ensure sectional efforts are being synchronized to align towards a shared goal. My bosses and co-workers give me a wide latitude, and a lot of trust. It's quite humbling to be allowed to contribute via such a method. I like to think I add value proportional to how they treat me, but the company I work for did great things well before my arrival, and I wouldn't be successful as I am there now without those same people continuing to excel in their roles. Many of my days end with my wondering how I've been so lucky to this point. I'm not IT, and even my office has IT clutter in it. Now, we have that clutter organized, and as neatly stacked as can be, but if you walk in my office, you see it for sure. We're in the middle of a multi-month systems swap for our doctors, so boxes with desktop systems comprised of big towers because they need the processing power, and large screen monitors in triple are around. I told IT if you're running out of storage space, they can use my office because only three of the four work areas are in use. Unless that CEO has respectable values and personality to match his salary, he isn't worth emulating to me. Some folks are rich because they screwed enough people along the way to make it happen. I'd rather learn from those who earned their money by taking care of people, inspiring them to go out of their way for the company.

Being back on fast pace full time work after three years in college, and an on-call support job for a while before that makes me appreciate just how valuable time for learning is.

I think I always have the fulfillment center items charged sales tax, but I'd have to go through a lot of order invoices to be sure. Very rarely do I not get hit for sales tax on Amazon. Not mad, it is what it is, so I just factor into my decision to buy online versus at a store. Not having to get out and deal with a store usually wins out easily.

In the case of the banks, the risk is that DOJ will use their own disclosure filings as evidence against them. They were skeptical enough under the Obama administration, but with Jeff Sessions and his "good people don't smoke marijuana" view of things, it's clear that the risk of providing banking services to the weed industry is not worth it. https://www.dorsey.com/newsresources/publications/client-alerts/2017/02/revisiting-the-risk-of-banking Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk.

Amazon is collecting state sales taxes for Tennessee now...has been for a bit. As to the shipping cost...maybe that had to do with being a prime member or not. I know free shipping for qualified items is automatic since I have a prime account. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk. OhShoot very much likes to know when we're using Tapatalk.

I think it was just getting warmed up to blow up. That barrel was getting quite red at the end. Same for the part of the gas cylinder (or gas regulator, @173rdABN would know which one for sure) we could see. The SAW was actually one of my favorite weapons from my time in, but putting a suppressor on it makes zero sense to me. Ditto with putting that many rounds through it continuously. Wasn't meant for either at all.

Warning to all, those are not Newsmax links...they're either direct to somewhere else, or have a redirect that was split second fast via my internet connection. Weed will be a huge industry nationwide once these ridiculous laws are gone, but this reeks (no pun intended) of scam.

Got this belt mounted FAB Defense AR mag holder on Amazon for about $21. Fits the 20rd mags perfectly, and I'm sure it would do just as fine for a 30rd'er...but I'm honestly on a 20rd kick for weight and low vis purposes.

I've had sleep issues off and on most of my adult life. Like Mac, I find exercise of any form helps, but I'm bad about getting it in. Also, this time of year tends to mess with me big time. The long daylight hours, the heat...I just never sleep as well in the summer as I do in the late fall or winter no matter what. Melatonin helps, but like others, I don't want to become dependent on a pill to sleep. I only use it when I've been worn down from a night or two of 4-5 hours or fitful sleep, or a Sunday night before a miserably packed day at work.

It's almost a given that anything BCM will be pleasing and durable. Ditto with DD. If you're looking to make the leap to a higher echelon of AR's, those two are where to be. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk. OhShoot very much likes to know when we're using Tapatalk.

I've yet to see a better water container than the 5-gallon ones we had in the military. They're super tough, can be stored in vehicles easy, and even fit inside a rucksack too perfectly (aside from the weight) if you're going to be on foot and need a large water supply. Just refresh the water inside them from time to time, and they'll be there when needed.
