  1. While I'm an advocate for physical fitness and could pass your test fairly easily (except for the running, I'm out of aerobic shape for sure), I think the pull ups are a little tough for even the average athlete. My father-in-law cycles 150mi a week and can't do that and most women can't do a single pull up. I think women would probably have a lot of trouble with the benchpresses, too. The upper body strength is just not there.

    Physical fitness is unquestionably important for survival. I always get mad when I see obese police officers and firefighters, I think to myself, "How are you supposed to protect/rescue/apprehend someone when you can't even carry your own weight?"

    It would be interesting and sad to see how many people just plain died when the SHTF because they weren't in good enough shape.

  2. Humm I had the same thing happen to me about a year ago. I came home to eat lunch and Didn't lock the door cause it was noon and I was going to be in and out.

    I was standing in the kitchen eating my PBJ sammich and this Mexican walks in and sees me and just stands there giving me the dumbest look.

    I pointed my sammich at the door and he kept staring then I told him to "Get the f$%^ out" and he seemed to know that much english cause he left. I wasn't on point enough I guess cause it was around noon and he was with a crew a couple of doors down doing some work. I think he just got mixed up.

    I had forgotten about it till I read this thread. Now I'm wondering if he was going to try and steal some stuff if no one was home.

    Best mental image ever.

  3. Jesus, let's not delude ourselves, guys. 90% of the stuff you buy is going to be imported and 90% of THAT stuff is going to be made in China. It won't necessarily be terrible quality (my chinese iPod is pretty solid, really), nor will American products necessarily be great quality (my Spring Hill, TN Saturn car has enough problems to make up for all my Chinese possessions).

    The fact of the matter is, yes, we are sending tons of money out of the country to pay cheap laborers, but we have to force a paradigm shift to let these American companies know that we consider such outsourcing an unethical business practice and hold them accountable for its detriment to our economy. Also, those of us who work in the labor industry, running the machines to make American flags and putting the lids on the cans of sardines, etc. have to be prepared to work for reasonable wages for LABOR and not form unions to wage war for $20-$50 wages.

  4. You have to keep in mind that voting for a particular candidate doesn't mean that those people support 100% of his policies.

    I like eating at Sonic, but I don't like banana milkshakes or grape slushies, but that's alright because they have other items on the menu that I do like.

    Also, given a choice between Arby's (which I hate) and McDonald's (which I'm kinda neutral about), I will always choose McD's because I would rather go hungry than eat at Arby's..

    ...catch my drift?

  5. There is absolutely NO reason to use the forward assist "in combat" or in a training environment for that matter.

    The last thing I want to do if a round doesnt seat/chamber properly is "assist" it by jamming it home.

    Smelly brown men trying to steal your pokemon cards? Round doesnt chamber? extract and try again. MUCH faster.

    What...the...hell?

  6. This is laughable. I can't wait til they ban knives and blugeonings and chokings take their place. How can anyone believe that the human desire to be violent can just be removed by taking away weapons?

  7. It would be nice if there were more militias that didn't have some kind of "agenda". I'd like to have a group that would practice various skills a few times a year and be in contact in case of an emergency whether it be a natural disaster, mainland attack, or government subjugation. I don't want to have meetings to talk about how Obama is Satan's messenger, or how Blacks and Mexicans are ruining White Christian America, or how Muslims are going to blow us all up because they hate our freedom.

  8. I just love seeing what new iTrend the new year brings. Seriously, how much can you love spending money on a name?

    "Hey guys, check out my new Ferrari! It does 0.9g on the skidpad and 0-60 in 5 seconds FLAT."

    "That's pretty cool. How much was it?"

    "$300k."

    "Wtf."

  9. Shot at, never shot. Had 4 guys run through my front yard shooting pistols in Murfreesboro while my wife and I were sitting on my front porch. Wife thought it was fireworks, I didn't. I drug her behind a wall as fast as I could and picked up a brick. As soon as the coast was clear, I got our asses inside and I loaded my 1-shot 12ga. Called 911 twice and nobody ever came. Lovely time, I assure you.

  10. I've got a CMMG M4LEP. It's cool, clean, and it does what it's supposed to do. I haven't done a carbine class with it or anything, but for regular range use it is quite sufficient.

  11. I just got a CZ 75BD that I carry. Very high quality workmanship. Full size gun, 17rd magazine, and I carry it without issue (I'm 5'8" 175lbs for reference). I'd say the PCR would be the best carry option since it maintains the same form factor of the 75 series with a slightly shorter grip and barrel and aluminum instead of steel frame. I went with the full size because I'll be using mine at the range fairly frequently.

  12. Even if I was offended by this, you have a right to be distasteful and offend people in this Great Country of ours

    Exactly, the school can ban inappropriate clothing, since I believe all schools have some rule like that, but outside of that kind of thing, people are free to make whatever kind of statement they want, however offensive it may be.
