TGO David

Terrible news. My sincere condolences to his family and his friends. A quick look a moment ago at his Facebook wall brought tears to my eyes. What an outpouring of love and respect for the guy. We can all only hope to be missed as much when our time comes. RIP, Paul.

Yep... you guys are all "clients" I suppose. What an odd name for the feature. I still love IPB compared to vBulletin but some of the nomenclature still throws me from time to time.

I agree. This forum needs to be overhauled a bit to ensure that the news stories being posted are about firearms. OhShoot, want to moderate it?

Every so often I'll watch some CNN and feel like I'm getting my fix for the ramp-up toward the apocalypse.

No need to apologize. If someone feels the urge to post up an allahu akbar or Hail, Flying Spaghetti Monster my sentiments go the same for them. To each their own. I'm siding with the Jewish carpenter, personally, but I'm also siding with our forefathers who felt that folks shouldn't be molested because of their choice of religion.

I guess that gives me a certain power to retract it too, right? After all, you see how well it has ever been adhered to which is why it isn't part of the official "Rules, Terms and Conditions" linked to at the bottom of each page. The original decree you're referring to hasn't been posted in over a year to the best of my knowledge. Frankly I'm tired of us having to have a "Rule" for everything, either here on the forum or out there in real life. I don't think you guys really want the moderators involved heavily in every thread any more than you really want your legislators involved heavily in your lives.

Apparently you forgot to put your big boy pants on before you decided to willingly participate in this thread. I'm sure there are many things you've said on TGO that these folks wouldn't agree with. Should we have an rule against curmudgeonery? Simply put, if the thumpin' hurts, find another thread that doesn't. You're a grown up. Exercise some "free will".

Leonard Embody try to get them to post a few years ago.

Not the first time God has flooded an area to wash away the human filth.

This is the only one I was able to find that fit the bill for tacticool and padded. I never bought one, but it's been in my bookmarks for a few months now. http://www.lapolicegear.com/3-way-laptop-case.html

Yeah well, that's because the government remembers back in the day some of its own had the same date with destiny.

Guys... let's avoid the bravado and steer clear of anything that can be construed as having racist connotations. I don't mind discussion about these topics so long as everyone frames their thoughts and comments objectively. That doesn't mean we have to be blinded by political correctness, it just means that we need to keep things centered in reality and not stoop to rhetoric or broad assumptions.

So can we hang these mother####ers yet? Is there a rope shortage in Knoxville or something? Anyone who commits as heinous of crimes against others as these vermin did, regardless of race, color or creed, needs to swing from a tree until their legs stop kicking and be left there for a day as a warning to anyone else who would dare commit the same despicable acts.

And... we're done here.

I'm not really sure the "I'll never shop there!" comments from people all across the state carry much (any?) weight with a business who really looks to draw consumers from about a 30-45 mile radius. It's kind of silly, really. I know the guys at On Target and have never gotten a raw deal from them. It's a shame the OP wasn't able to get satisfactory service.

Ok so... I recently bought the Tapatalk HD app for my iPad and am now a firm believer in the software.

That thing makes me want to go out and spend some money. Nice!

That's complete and utter nonsense.

Inventory for insurance reasons.

Agreed with the above. We have several attorneys here on TGO who are Vendors specializing in NFA trusts. I'd give one of them a shout.

No worries here. I'm very equal opportunity when it comes to my assessment of thuggery. Like I said, it comes in all colors, shapes and genders. Be vigilant.

We went sailing by it a few decades ago.

Sure. But those people come in all colors of skin. Like I said, history is rife with incidents where the abused finally got tired of it and started lashing out. This isn't a black or white thing. It's a thug thing.

I think the idea that all of the ones who are itching for conflict are slothful, stupid or don't have the necessary aptitudes for being productive and self-reliant is painting them all with a pretty wide brush. I think that for some of them, they've been taught from birth to lash out at non-black races for "keeping them down" and to take whatever they want by force. You see it in crowds when you get a shoulder from one of them rather than them politely step to the side as you do to let each other pass. I'm also the guy that throws my weight into that shoulder and checks them hard when they do it. It may be a dangerous game to play, but it's all about mutual respect. Most of them time I get some mouthing in return, but they also know that they just found out where the line was with one guy and they tend to respect it, even if they mouth off a little in return. I did 12 years in a public school system where there the student body was easily 60% black and 10% of them came from rough neighborhoods and brought that crap to school. I've seen this behavior my entire life. I learned early that if you stand your ground, you get messed with less. It was all about seeing if you were "hard" or soft. The soft kids had victim mentalities and got picked on a lot.
