Everyone starts somewhere whether it's blogging, vlogging, writing columns... whatever.  I think in order to be taken seriously, though, you are going to need to get past the idea of remaining anonymous and let your face be shown.  If you have no intention of growing this into something more than just a few videos from a guy who likes to shoot, then by all means keep the hood up and the gloves on.  Just be ready for people to make comments.

Come sell away... come sell away... come SELL away with meeeeeeee....   :jester:

  We need to talk about the buy-sell-trade pages you visit.  :D   Specifically, do we need to add a forum for that here?  ;)

  Deprecated or under-appreciated?  :)

The tactical bibbed overalls that the gentleman holding the snipper rifle is wearing tell me all I need to know.

  Well to be clear, I think Islam is the root of the problem.   That a person can claim to be a Moderate Muslim is a bit apocryphal in and of itself as the fundamentals of the religion demand all or nothing.  BUT, the religion also allows for deceit on the part of a true believer (aka claiming to be moderate) in order to hide and wage jihad, so it's kind of a crap shoot.  If a fundamental tenant of your belief system is that you are allowed and encouraged to be dishonest in certain cases, how can anything you say about your religion truly be believed other than what is written about it by the mass-murdering pedophile [facts] who founded it?   The only honest way to assess a religion's true beliefs is to read what was written about it by the creator of the religion.   Now do I think that some modern, progressive Muslims want to believe that they can adhere to a watered-down version of Islam and eject the violent fundamentals in an effort to be walk on both sides of the fence?  Yes, absolutely.  There are good people who claim to be Muslim but don't believe all of what their religion actually requires them to believe.   But that's kind of kind saying you can be a Christian but not believe that Christ literally lived, died and rose from the dead.  If you buy into that line of thinking and try to pick and choose what you believe based on what is convenient to you, many --including myself-- would argue that you're not really a Christian.   The funny thing about religious belief systems is that you really have to go full-bore as a believer otherwise you're just doing your religion of choice lip-service.  Which brings us back to the notion that Islam can somehow be a religion of peace by ejecting the nasty bits about killing the unbeliever.  It can't because once you start ejecting fundamentals, you're not really adhering to the religion.   Like I said, my sincere hope that as many Muslims can be saved as possible.  But the ones who choose to do harm to others should be dealt with accordingly.

I really struggle with the generalization that the only good Muslim is a dead one as is being advocated by a few folks in this thread.  For the sake of avoiding brash generalizations, consider for a moment that not all Spanish Catholics in the late 1400's murdered people under the auspices of the Spanish Inquisition any more than all Muslims are out killing children.  It was a select few and, statistically, is a select few in the current predicament.   That being said, Islam at it's fundamental root is a very vicious and evil religion as it pertains to how the unbeliever is to be treated, and that certainly cannot be ignored as more and more bloodthirsty sociopaths flock to fundamental Islam as a justification for the evil that they desire to do.   I support the wholesale elimination by whatever means necessary of radical, fundamental Muslim sociopaths seeking to commit murder but I also support the peaceful approach of prayerfully hoping that the moderate Muslim soul can be enlightened to the truth of Christ and saved.  Thus, the struggle.   I guess it all boils down to individual intent.  If the individual intends to do harm, we should intend to do greater harm first so as to dissuade them or make it impossible.  Conversely if they do not intend to do harm, then they should be allowed to live out life to it's natural end regardless of what belief system they choose to subscribe to.

Have you seen this?   http://fox17.com/news/features/featured/stories/report-peyton-manning-could-buy-tennessee-titans-2015-3868.shtml     Honestly, I have never wanted to like Peyton Manning because of the savior-image Vols fans have always projected on him.  I moved to Tennessee in the height of Manning Fever and for some reason it just soured me.  That said, you can't deny that the guy knows how to play the game and he's really matured as an NFL quarterback since leaving Indianapolis.  I always liked to joke that his favorite position was the Fetal Position when he played for the Colts, because as soon as the defensive line crumbled he was quick to curl up rather than take a hit.   But, this might be the thing that fixes the Titans.  They do need a good house-cleaning from top to bottom and Peyton is a competitive player and savvy businessman.  I think it will take him or someone like him to straighten the franchise out.   The way it is right now, I'd be surprised if very many people keep their season tickets for 2015.  The current Titans suck.

It's a good thing you wore gloves otherwise the NSA might have been able to scan your fingerprints from the video or spotted other identifying marks and tracked you back to your secret lair.  Thankfully there's no way for them to do that via your activity on YouTube or this forum.  ;)

So what did you end up with?

I carry mine in an A-Holster pocket holster more often than not, but also have a Comp-Tac MTAC for it if I want to carry IWB.

I need to dig mine of the of the safe and see if it's the same.  It looks just like this.

Sorry to hear you and your grandmother are dealing with this.  If these are truly the last of her days on this earth, may they be peaceful.   Hang in there.

There's no such thing as a coincidence.  Someone was trying to get in.

Yep!

Yeah, I didn't take away a Jesus-correlation from the episode.  Sutter went to great lengths this season and particularly the last four episodes to make sure you knew that these were all complete criminals and that Jax was the worst of them.  That's not a Christ figure.   Jax with his arms outstretched was more symbolic of him welcoming death, IMO.  Not a crucifixion pose.  Milo's expletive was just that.

The wine and bread were indicative of a final communion or Last Rites.  The homeless lady was most certainly the angel of death.  The wine-soaked bread also was "mysteriously" at the crash site, to indicate that Death had been there to claim Jax.

Yep.  That was a good episode.  Great series finale.  Really glad they didn't screw us the way they screwed Sopranos fans.

We sure as heck watched it.

Congratulations!!!

  I like everything about it except the adjustable rear sight.  That's the only thing that has kept me from buying one yet.

Honestly it doesn't really matter either way.  I can see reasons folks would want to delete particular info, but once Google or other sites index the forum threads -- and they do constantly -- that information is out there.

I've always chalked it up to people being lazy.  Too lazy to edit the post to amend the fact that it was sold, so they just edit the post, <CTRL+A> to select all, DEL to delete and then add a line saying "SOLD" or some other such statement.   Yeah, it's annoying.

So maybe it's just the Liberterian in me showing through but am I the only one who sees the hypocrisy in gun owners demanding business owners cave to our demands, yet we are the same group that gets our panties in a bunch when the anti-gun owners make business owners cave to theirs?   The Second Amendment guarantees that the government will not infringe on our right to go armed the same way that the First Amendment guarantees that the government will not infringe on our right to free speech.  Neither of those amendments guarantee that a private person or business entity cannot ask us to exercise our Rights anywhere but their private property.  My rights end where someone else's begin.   Sure, we all have the ability to spend our money with the businesses that we choose.  I tend to spend my money with those that provide goods and services at a reasonable cost while providing good service and operating ethically and responsibly.  If they support things that are important to me, such as the Second Amendment, I am even more inclined to do business with them... but if they don't, I will evaluate my options and may still do business with them for a variety of reasons.   When I see a gun buster sign, I have a choice to make and I weigh that choice against various criteria and options.  One of those options is to contact the management or owner and let them know that I would prefer that they not ask me to choose between my ability to defend myself and my family, and buying from them.  But I won't leave a silly, passive-aggressive business card or decal telling them that no guns equals no money.  I prefer dialogue over drive-by.   But at the end of the day they still have the right to ask me to disarm, just as I have the right to shop elsewhere, and I respect that.  I see both sides of the discussion and both are equally protected.  I'm just not a fan of bullying business owners any more than I want to be bullied by Moms Demand Action or whatever the hell they're called.   Just my $0.02 worth of pre-church rambling.

I've found myself wanting another full-size railed 1911 again lately. I'm inclined to go for the Sig TACOPS Traditional just to get the internal-extractor faithful all riled up.
