E4 No More

I seriously wonder about people who have the time to ANALyze shows to catch these things.

Knife Safety What a bunch of idiots!

I consider improper posting as the business giving tacit approval of carrying concealed while allowing the bedwetters to feel better about themselves.

Having been a police officer I saw things in body language that was VERY concerning even without audio. Remember, this is the same PD that gunned-down a guy outside of a Sam's Club, (or Costco), not too long ago who was legally carrying concealed. I believe that dude was also former or current Army too.

Doesn't matter how old. I didn't see the guy fighting the officers at all. If they were so concerned why did the one officer just watch through the glass?

I loathe Wally World.

I'm not a hunter, but from the stories I've heard from hunters and the like most of the game wardens are either crooked or intellectually challenged. Why would interpretation come from inside the department rather than a court's interpretation, and why would it be internal only? Perhaps they have a reason for not advertising it?

Unfortunately, I have a bit of a belly, (yes, a shocker at 51 years old), and I wish they'd design a low profile hook-type buckle like the cowboy buckles, but not near as tall. Velcro sucks.

Good gun belt, check! Gun Belt | Crossbreed Holsters - Gun Belts $60 rather than $80.

I really like the stock on the 10-22!

$80??? No thanks.

I prefer the term, "Progressive-Intellectual Method" thank you very much.

Scream like a little girl and call the police so that they can be too late to do anything.

I knew the owner of the Amoco in the town of which I was a police officer and I asked him about pricing. He told me that he was obligated to following the pricing as dictated by Amoco; not of his own choosing. Perhaps that's dependent on his agreement, because Kimbo Oil here in the Nashville area has different prices even when their stations are in the same jurisdictions, (meaining the taxes are the same).

I kind of get tired of people saying that you don't make that much money on oil/gas. True, the gas station owners don't make much money on gas, but people wouldn't be speculating in oil if there wasn't good money in it. That's just common sense.

I seem to recall it being reported that Libya produces light sweet crude oil that only France and a few others use.

"Although he was a bad, bad man why do we, as a nation, feel the need to police the world." We had the opposite approach after WWI, and it didn't work out too well for us. I think the trick is being able to recognize a viable threat beforehand. That's hard as Bush can attest. If you're right you're a national hero; if you're wrong you get accused of being a liar by the political opposition.

Opinions are like buttholes: everyone has one and they all stink.

Next thing you know someone on here is going to feel that they have the duty to tell them that their posting isn't legal, and how to post legally.

In reference to a Jihadist (SP?) he made the throat-cutting sign with his finger on television. I'm kind of conflicted about this. On one hand I want to cheer the Jihadist on, but on the other hand Letterman is an American.

I bought one just last Saturday after asking for opinions on the forum. I handled the Taurus, Kel-Tec, and Khar of the same class, and was the most impressed with the 709. It fit my large hand better because of the "backstrap" and had a better trigger and sights than the others. I haven't shot it yet, but have read others who uniformly say that it shoots low-left out of the box, but it has adjustable sights.

"Officers will look the other way to protect their own." Incorrect! I am no longer a LEO because I reported the actions of a bad officer to the city council and the result was that I was just a troublemaker. Not all police officers cover-up bad things. EDIT: I stopped reading your post too soon. Sorry.

I saw this posted by "London" on Texas Gun Talk forum and thought ya'll might be interested in it too: Would you be interested if I told you I knew how to make a rugged, high-quality LED flashlight which is just as nice as a top of the line Surefire (which cost $200+) for less than $40? What if I told you I was willing to share my secret with you? If so, read on: For this project you will need: 1 Hugsby S3 flashlight - $20 1 Cree P60L or Cree R2 LED module - $8 3 CR123 batteries - price varies The ability to unscrew an object and screw it back together. The Hugsby S3 can be bought on eBay for $20 w/free shipping if you want the one with the shotgun mount. (Most shotgun flashlight mounts go for $60- the Hugsby mount alone is worth the $20. Use shorter screws if you want to mount it to a rifle- the ones made to wrap around a shotgun barrel are too long.) The lights without the mount cost less. They ship from China so be willing to wait two to three weeks. They also includes a regular tail-cap and one with a pressure switch. The pressure switch is cool; but remember that if that wire gets severed somehow, there goes your light source. If you really want to use the pressure switch I recommend carrying the regular tail cap on your weapon as a back-up. A hollow pistol grip would work perfectly for this. The flashlight itself is made of aluminum (it is plenty combat-rugged) and requires 3 CR123 batteries. While it will never be super-lightweight like a plastic Surefire, it will be tougher. That third battery adds more weight as well, but also means less worrying about battery life. It’s really not all that heavy. Be aware it is pretty bulky for EDC. TAANSTAAFL, folks. IMO, this thing really shines (forgive the pun) as a weapon-mounted light, a car flashlight, or in any other situation it doesn’t have to fit in a pocket. For the money, you will not beat this. It will certainly put any Mag-Lite to shame and hold its own against any Surefire. They are using the exact same LED modules, after all. The LED modules can be bought from Dealextreme for about $8 w/free shipping. They also ship from China. P60L has a light output of 80 lumens, the R2 has a light output of 300 lumens. I have both and personally prefer the P60L; its light output is more than enough for nearly any situation and the batteries will last longer. It also diminishes your night sight less quickly if you have to use it for only a brief period of time. The R2 is much cheaper despite being much brighter. I recommend buying the batteries in bulk from eBay. The inexpensive ones once again come straight from China. For those of you who don’t know, CR123 batteries (also called “CR123aâ€) are camera batteries. Regular AAs, etc. don’t work nearly as well in LED flashlights, and die rapidly. Wal-Mart sells plenty of quality LED flashlights (with Cree LEDs) which run off of regular batteries- buy one and eventually you’ll wish you just did it right the first time and bought a flashlight which uses weird batteries. Trust me! After all of your parts arrive in the mail, use this guide to perform your modifications: 1.) Unscrew the front-most part of the flashlight head and pull out the zenon bulb module (it is all one piece and will come right out with no problems). 2.) Drop in the LED module. 3.) Re-tighten the front of the flashlight head. 4.) Install batteries. 5.) Turn on. 6.) Enjoy. IMO, this is the perfect solution for the economically challenged (who isn’t these days?) and those of us who prefer spending our big bucks on things other than flashlights. Those of you who do have the “Real deal†expensive stuff will do well to try this cheap and fun little project out; at the very least it will make a quality affordable back-up to your expensive stuff. Have fun! Addendum: If you have a favorite LED module you would like to try, as long as it measures 26.5mm x 29mm it will probably work.

I'm curious: If anyone of you had to publicly speak, (if you could do that to begin with of course), as much as ANY politician that's on the grueling campaign trail while a crowd of reporters and cameras followed your every move then how many times do you think you'd say something stupid? I know I have been known to think one thing while my mouth says something different from time to time. It happens.

I'm speechless.
