Hey! It's long enough to please ME! :stick:

I bought my XTS last November from Crest Cadillac, and I must say that the experience was great! No-haggle pricing applied even though they had to do a dealer transfer from a dealership in Atlanta to get the car I wanted, and it was better than Andrews Cadillac. The salesman was no-pressure nor rush. They gave me what I wanted for my trade-in when Nashville Dodge's offer was downright insulting. The only problem was having to take the car back several times for warranty fixes, but that was handled well in the service shop. Cars are getting too "smart" for their own good nowadays.

Me too. We must be on David's "This guy sucks" list. :(

Yep! But it needs a bunch of illegals hanging around it to be authentic.

I ain't telln'! :stalk:

Recipe, or it didn't happen!

It's interesting, and I too am looking forward to feedback from users.

It sounds like airy wood...almost like pine.

So with your 3 does that put us at the 50 mark?

Carbon or stainless, that is one sexy looking knife! :love:

    EDIT: Doh! I should have re-read the OP...sorry. :(

Clearly, age does not equal wisdom...or intelligence.

In that case I'm in for one. I do not care about the number.

Question: Will these knives have the plain edge or the serrated?

Rap isn't music. :yuck:

I went out and bought a M&P .40 compact last Friday before I went camping. I was quite pleased that it fits into an E1 pocket holster, and said holster fits into my back pocket. I sat on it all the way to the campground without any unpleasantness, so I'm pretty tickled.

"no one in the thread has asserted that 'mandatory training standards' should be a requisite for laying claim to 2A rights."   Incorrect, unless your definition of mandatory doesn't mean something that is required.        Post #26: "I also think there should be some kind of training required."      Post #32: "I think a training requirement isn't too much to ask and would consider it as people (male and female) doing their civic duty."      Post #67: "I think 'regulated' has that meaning in the 2nd." This was given in response to me writing that nowhere in the 2nd does it say "....as long as you have proper training."   And then the last post got me off onto a militia tangent. I agree that we should encourage others to train and practice as well. I disagree with people who seem to assert that if another person doesn't train/practice to their level that it somehow makes that other person unqualified to carry a weapon.   Personally, (and this is not to be construed to demean others that do), I see no value in spending hundreds to thousands of dollars for combat training. First, after the Marine Corps, being in LE, and martial arts, my body isn't what it used to be and could not handle that type of training. Second, the odds of me being in those types of situations at the age of 53 are way too infinitesimal. Third, my local range, (Stones River), is bulls-eye only, and it's staffed by too many A-holes and the downright dangerous individuals who certainly should go back to safety class before being on the range. Other ranges are indoor ranges that are also bulls-eye only. Come to think of it, all of the ranges carry evidence of the presence of the downright dangerous individuals being there to begin with: therefore, not the safest places to be. Fourth, since I'm no longer a LEO my job is to protect my family, and to me that means defensive tactics utilizing cover or concealment if I can, or going to the point of shielding her body with my own while I return fire. The local ranges do not facilitate that type of practice.   If I lived on property in the country I'd be shooting far more frequently than I do now, but I don't have that luxury. How others train/practice is up to them, but they have no justification to place their requirements on another to exercise their "God given rights." If a person fails to train to a minimal standard then the consequences are lawfully placed on them as they should be.   Now I'm out of this thread to go camping. You all have a great weekend.

You mean collegiate level history classes weren't enough, and that I should rely on a website for my information? No thanks.   Although I'm no history major nor an armchair historian, I recall that the Continental Army had to be formed, (since there was no standing army as I referenced before), and that was a "wee" bit difficult since they didn't have the funds to do so. The army didn't magically appear when the rebellion started after all. State militias indeed were looked down upon, but also had to be formed and were used as harassment and delay while the army formed.   But before the Constitution was written is really a moot point. Read post Revolutionary War history to see what the fathers meant. Power was in the hands of the states; not the feds since what regular army there might be was quite small in numbers due to money, and they were used for delaying action while the states ramped up. For example, by the start of of the Civil War the regular army was quite small, and they had to build it via the state militias hence their carrying of their state names in their units, and mobilizing and training them took time.   Regardless, the 2nd is not dependent upon the state militias, nor on imaginary, mandatory training standards as indicated by others in this thread.   EDIT: Kind of hard to feed your family if you weren't practiced and proficient with your weapon. If there were standards mandated by the states in a "well-regulated" manner then there would also have been caliber standardization as well. Since that wasn't the case they failed at that mandate.

Actually, I did...sort-of. "Since the Feds had no standing army they called militias from the individual states, and the states formed militias."   States formed militias at the request of the feds for the most part.

Depends on who you ask now doesn't it? Some judges have said that the militia does not have anything to do with the 2nd as in "...shall not be infringed." Is it your belief that you only have the right to bear arms if you were in a militia? Since the Feds had no standing army they called militias from the individual states, and the states formed militias.

No, I think that they hunted and protected their selves. They worked their farms and didn't have time to travel for a day(s) for drills.

Me too, and most of them were officers!   To the officers on the forum, notice that I didn't say all. :)

I doubt it. Militias weren't standing armies with regular drill.
