  1. I saw on channel 6 last night some footage of a man dropping the slide on a bobtailed 1911 when they were talking about the guns in bars bill. Anyone else see it? Any one else think "They shouldn't have done that".
  2. I wonder if it would be worth reloading for the S12.
  3. You can pretty much throw the bullets by hand hard enough to put holes in the paper to pass. You have to hit the target (B27). If you can shoot a gun without killing yourself or the person beside you, you can pass the shooting part of the test.
  4. Should you lose all your rights for say....... hacking someone's email. Or say insider trading. Yes I picked these 2 because they are "victimless" crimes and with the Sarah Palin case in the news it is timely and of course Martha Stewart is the insider trading. I think there should be a process after you had severed your time and it have a sliding scale as to the severity of the crime.
  5. I use a coffin case when I want to be real low key.
  6. If its for SHTF, you probably will only live through 2 firefights....... so after that it really doesn't matter who made your gun. If your going to war, someone will issue you a weapon and you will have no say in what you get.
  7. Really glad to know that all my wheel guns are high end.

    Handgun Insurance

    I think when dad asked about replacements of guns State Farm said they would under the home owners policy but we had to submit a list of the guns and serial numbers.
  9. I had some real nice Hatch winter driving gloves. And my crazy ex girlfriend lifted them. Then acted like she had bought them years ago.......... everyone knew she was lying but I didn't push it. I got mine at Greene's too.
  10. Most Elite Teams use them...... but they are secondary weapons to those groups. In a 10 round limit world, 9 rounds of 45 is what everyone wanted. Since the ban is over...... well they can't lower the price just because.
  11. I personally love the look of a flip sight on a longer rail. I would go with a lo-profile gas block and a free float rail. Just make sure you read around on the different AR forums and see which ones work together good.
  12. For the number of people who were in there, it was packed, I caught a guy after helping a lady with a stock and asked him. He came over and looked with me and said they didn't have any in the back...... which is the information I was looking for. But like you there have been times I went in there and couldn't break them from talking amongst themselves.
  13. I took my GF to CCA to look around and saw they are carrying MTACs now. I thought well I have been meaning to get one. They didn't have anything for Glocks.............. I was like well :) So I had to come home and order me one. If you want a MTAC for a XD or a 1911 they got tons. On the up side I did get to look at one before I ordered so that helped me decide that I did want one.
  14. Crockett's Theme isn't really for the action scenes its more for the introspective moments like when he was on his way to kill that hit man who killed his wife on stage.
  15. What I really really hate is how they make the CSI people look like the detectives/Sherlock Holmes on the show. They are in their Stargate SG1 vests and all carry different sidearms. That just bugs the devil out of me. And why have I never seen Gary on Law and Order if CSI:New York has all these cool cyber type computers and solve all these crimes.
  16. I know Suarez (hope I spelled that right) has private lessons on his price list. Always stuck me as funny in a way but I see the logic in it. The other trainers on this board will work with you however you need it. What you are probably looking for is the local IPDA or IPSC Champion to give you a few pointers. I would suggest some social networking at few matches and make friends. Then take a class or 10 (wishful thinking) from the excellent people who offer classes here. I look at this from the point of view of my mom or sister. Both can shoot, both are capable of killing someone with a firearm if they had to. But they would be too nervous or self conscious in a class with other people.
  17. What about all those vehicular homicides every year?
  18. Most will be trapped in the city. They have no way out other than public transportation. The police can't cover every possible way out of the city and gangs of looters can cover it. And if they were bussed out by the government most would be sent to gov shelters. The few who have family in the country might make it there and survive till they run out of seeds. I think if its really bad there wont be anyone to sell you what you need even if you have gold and silver to bater with.
  19. I have several thoughts on this. 1) I have bought gold and silver and pre 65 coins.......... no one is really going to sell in bulk to you so the gold and silver if they make change is going to be worthless bills. And to most people that dime is still a dime even if it is real silver content. 2) Never trade something that can be used against you. They figure you have more and will come and take it now that they have ammo. It comes down to trust and in a real SHTF civil unrest event you cant really trust anyone outside of those you trust with your life today.
  20. I hear they have really nice ranges and classrooms and such. If it is something you could afford I say go for it. But it is the infomercial of Personal Defense. I am just glad he didn't buy TV time with Billy Mays or the Wow Sham guy.
  21. The fact that is generates revue for the state don't hurt either. I have always been of the beleive that if you did something to show up on a IBC that they would pulled your permit at the time of the incident.
  22. Somewhere it needs a "Do you feel lucky punk? Well do ya?" I love the Dark Tower for many many reasons but any story written about a cowboy and your thinking Eastwood is good enough for me. Lee Van Cliff is the man in black in my mind too.
  23. Did you at any time have the thought "Man I could just throw these at the target and still pass"? In my class we had an older very sweet granny like lady who passed the class. Looked like she was shooting a 12 gauge. When the teacher said you just have to hit the target that is all she did.
  24. Flo called it "her purse" on the Progressive insurance add and the man calls it "A leather European shoulder bag". On prepper site its is "Manly Adventure Bag".
  25. I think the term is snob. Prejudice would mean you only carry a handgun or you dont carry a handgun but a rifle or shotgun.
