  1. Oh, I’m not saying they jack the price up. But a couple of the dealers here give a pretty good “Forum Discount†on the stuff they have in stock.
  2. Thanks. The forum dealers have given me some pretty good deals on stuff I have purchased that was in-stock and I always contact them first. But when it comes to ordering a gun the prices are usually pretty steep. I don’t blame them for that; they want to sell what they have not what they can get. Also when I want it I want it. My last purchase was a PLR-16, some thought they might be able to get one but didn’t know when it would be.
  3. If I buy a gun off GA or GB and have you do the transfer, can you electronically send a copy of your FFL or do you have to mail a copy. Or in short I want to know if I pay right then; can they ship right then? Recently when I purchased a gun from Buds I picked a local dealer to do the transfer because he was already listed with Buds. When I called him after I placed the order he said he didn’t have to do anything because Buds already had all his info. He just said he would call me when it came in. That was on Wednesday he had it Friday. Does it work the same way for other dealers through GB or GA? Seems I can never find WTF I need locally.
  4. I would have to deal with that when it happened. Correct. I don’t trust the government at all; I’m just sick over what just happened in this election. But I trust cops, unless they give me a reason not to.
  5. Tower I have no respect for the ATF or the IRS. I think they are both a band of criminals and should be disbanded. I don’t fear the ATF because I won’t be breaking any laws that can cause them to make me a target. I do fear the IRS because I don’t have to break any laws for them to ruin my life. But you guys want to boycott a company because they have a letter on their brochure from someone that you think did the wrong thing 16 years ago. Not that it really matters but randy weaver did nor retire; he was discharged after three years. Yes he was SF; but was he decorated for anything? I’m not sure I understand the leap you are making from <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City>Waco</st1:City> to Ruby Ridge? Ruby Ridge was before <st1:City>Waco.</st1:City> <st1:City></st1:City> I’m not saying that he was “just following ordersâ€. I’m saying that he was given a green light to kill all adult males in the vicinity of the cabin that refused to surrender. I simply do not have a problem with that. Weaver and Harris made a decision to try to kill cops. There was a lawful warrant for weaver’s arrest and they decided to try to kill the Marshals that were there to try to get him. They did kill one. If I had arrived on the scene as an FBI sniper and found that they had killed a cop and had been given every opportunity to surrender I would have killed them and called it a day. It’s just too bad that his aim was off; he should have turned them both off like a switch. Jews, Stalin, Goering, Hesse? Come on man have a decent conversation don’t turn into a nut case.
  6. He certainly was, but not by Lon Horiuchi. Horiuchi didn’t arrive until the next day. This was no “gameâ€. You go shoot at a cop and then take off running and see if you don’t get drilled in the back. These weren’t “victims†they were criminals. Vicki Weaver was not standing in the doorway where Horiuchi could see here. He shot Harris; the round went through his arm, through the door and killed Vicki Weaver instantly. Harris put her in harms way. This could have ended at any time prior to that. Weaver and Harris had made up there minds they were going to die. Too bad they lived and Sam and Vicki Weaver had to die. You start a criminal act that leads top the death of another (Even if they are shot by their intended victims or the cops) and you are responsible for their death. That’s tin foil hat Maybe you can see yourself as a cop killer; but I can’t see me ever pulling the trigger on a cop doing his job.
  7. I’m sure everyone will have an opinion, but I see no reason to buy a Metal Mag anymore. I don’t own a Magpul Pmag yet, but from everything I’ve seen they are tougher than metal mags and have fewer problems; plus they look cooler.
  8. He shot an active shooter and the bullet went through his arm, through the door, and killed her. He didn’t shoot at her. Are you talking about his 14 year old son that got killed while they were busy killing a U.S. Marshall? He's an FBI agent not a Marshall. I never heard that until right now, but quite frankly I don’t care what they said to him. He had already caused the death of his own son and his wife. He was a sniper; he had a job to do. His job is killing people that need killing. As I understand it his orders were to kill all adult males that he had a clear shot at. That is what he was doing when Kevin Harris put Vicki Weaver in the line of fire; ending her life. If Ruby Ridge happened today the first responding Officers would engage and kill Randy Weaver and Kevin Harris. Then Weavers wife and maybe his son could be selling books and giving lectures instead of being dead.
  9. People like Suzanna Hupp help a lot. A lot of states have gained carry privileges in the 17 years since her incident. Now we need to gain the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:stockticker>RIGH</st1:stockticker>T. </O:pSuzanna Hupp on the VT shooting.....
  10. It’s all going to be biased one way or the other. But I don’t think many of the facts are in dispute.
  11. Common sense tells me that walking into the Opryland Hotel is okay unless it is legally posted. Walking into the bar areas is not. But common sense also tells me to call 615-458-2800 and ask.
  12. Give him what he was asking for and let him leave. Pulling a gun would be suicide. If I could then get a gun in my hand, engage him and take his life, I would have no problems doing so as long as no innocent bystanders were around.
  13. By murderers I assume you are talking about Randy Weaver and Kevin Harris? Yes, it bothers me that they aren’t in prison where they belong. But I don’t think they have any product endorsement deals. <O:p</O:p Sorry…. But Horiuchi was brought in as a shooter. Horiuchi shot his target (Harris), the round went through him, through the door and killed Vicki weaver. This was on the second day. They could have laid down their weapons at any time prior to that and Vicki Weaver would still be alive. It bothers me that the government put Horiuchi through what they did. Weaver and Harris were active shooters. If Ruby Ridge were to take place today there would be no standoff; they would be engaged and surrender or be killed.
  14. I get my PD ammo at Bass Pro. They keep the good stuff behind the counter and you have to ask for it. The prices I have paid (Federal HydraShok) were pretty much the same as on-line and I didn’t have to wait.
  15. It’s not limited to women; I’ve heard some pretty funny conversations while standing at the gun counters over the years; with ignorance abounding from both sides of the counter. We routinely see the same thing here. I could not have let the “Homeland Security” thing go though. I would have needed him to explain WTF he was talking about.

    Bailout???

    And that is what bothers me. I’m all about buying “American Made†and anyone that knows me personally knows how strongly I feel about it, but both GM and Ford have turned their backs on us. If they want to use American Manufacturing for the parts and American labor for the assembly then I support helping them but I don’t support doing it when they are moving most of their production to Mexico and Canada. Our economy cannot (and will not) recover until our manufacturing base is brought back here. I do not support a bailout of companies with most of their production in foreign countries and I do not support a bailout without a plan to fix the problem. Any bailout would require a plan to get Americans to buy American made cars; and I haven’t heard anything yet that will make that happen.
  17. Those Gun-Ho cases are listed on Champions Choice web site in Lavergne. They cost more; but since you are close you can go get one. http://www.champchoice.com/
  18. Mike Patterson at The Saddle Shop Phone: 615-395-7555 http://www.saddleshop.bizland.com/ His email is mpatter2@bellsouth.net
  19. They are $10 more than Magpuls. I really don’t need the “Count Down” Feature so I probably wouldn’t buy them. I wish one of these places would make a pmag for my .308 Panther.
  20. I know who Lon Horiuchi is and that ad dosen’t bother me a bit.
  21. I look at it a different way. If you don’t have a partner or a dog, stay inside the room you are in with a weapon and call the Police. Stay on the line with the dispatcher until Officers arrive. If there is someone in your home you want to make them come to you; not you to them. If you go “hunting†in your home and there is an unarmed intruder you may possibly be able to capture him. However if he is armed and willing to shoot you; you will without a doubt get shot. Lighting yourself up like the 4th of July and walking around is not smart. However…. That’s why there are classes on this. You can be presented all of the scenarios and then decide what will work for you at the time you need it.
  22. I bought a gun last week from Buds and had a problem with the price at checkout. I went ahead and got it, but I figured I would see how they handle it. I tried to call them all day last Thursday (20th) but could never get through; so I sent them an email. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and wait to see how it turns out. I received this today, thought some of you might find it of intrest…
  23. Sure you can; and those doing it need to be outed in public. It is my understanding that the gun manufacturers have not raised their prices, and the dealers say that they are only raising their prices to cover what the distributors raised theirs. So unless that is incorrect some dirt bag distributors (that we really don’t need in the system anyway) are making a killing. CTD rolled the dice. Let’s see how it works out for them.
  24. I don’t think it’s a conscious lack of regard as much as I think its stupidity and carelessness. Many people simply can’t handle anything out of the norm happening while they are driving; they just can’t deal with it. Many are also on the phone. Common sense tells us that this is dumber that chit; but our legislators want to do it, so the death toll rises.
  25. Driving in the left lane. I see people pull out onto the road and pull into that left lane like they own it. They cause more wrecks than speeders. As a cop I would let 10 speeders drive by to take out the dumbazz holding up traffic in the left lane. Man that pizzes me off. Okay.... I feel better now.
