["new" old Gen 2.5 G30]

I think you did good! In fact, I'm gonna make it better. I have a FBI Comptac paddle holster that I will give you. Shoot me your mailing address and I will send it out next time I'm near a post office.

[Confused]

I will lube my anus and let a zombie deep inside of me if they ever surface.

Wow. That took a completely different direction than I expected. While we are on the topic, I'm gonna call BS and say that you would not let that happen.

[Confused]

Im very confused what all this zombie business is about. Are you all really convinced that zombies are a relevant concern?

Ummm don't you watch TV or read comics? It's a very serious concern.

[Drop free mags???]

If you can free drop your mag that would be better IMO. You off hand can be grabbing the new mag while te other one drops instead of taking your off hand, pulling your mag, and then reloading. It is faster to just drop if you can. With that said, ripping mags should be practiced in case you have a jam.

[2013 Ford which one?]

When do the 2013's come out?

[New Primitive Survival Skills Meet-Up]

I will try to attend as well!

[Is anyone intrested in learning to make their own?]

I'm game.

[House To Vote On Trayvon Amendment]

I think that target is disgusting. I carry everyday and fully believe in defending yourself and I do not think Trayvon was just an innocent person walking down the street, BUT there is no need to make a profit off the death of a young person in that sense.

[Is anyone intrested in learning to make their own?]

I would be interested. What's the cost involved?

[Prayed like you have never prayed before]

I don't even know what to say. My stomach sank a little when I read your last post. I'm truly sorry. I will continue to pray for your family.

[Prayed like you have never prayed before]

How horrible. I work there so if you all need something let me know. Praying for you all.

[Police Video - Watch until the end]

At 1:14 in the video by the OP.

[Police Video - Watch until the end]

Anyone notice that one of the witnesses they interviewed was named Trayvon?

[Any Police Officer here carry a Sig P220?]

Very awesome of you!

[Any Police Officer here carry a Sig P220?]

Well heck, I wanna know what it is!

[Knoxville show]

Saw a few takedowns. Shouldn't be a problem.

[Dog shot dead by Austin police officer]

I'm a little girl when it comes to dogs, so I will keep my comments to myself so it can't be misconstrued as cop bashing.

[Underground shelter]

Those are awesome! I'm actually looking for that but bigger...mine as well be able to live in it if I'm gonna throw out money on it.

[Underground shelter]

So I've been researching underground shelters lately in leu of the crazy weather we have had here. My wife is from Oklahoma and she freaks out with weather and let's be honest, it gives me a reason to prep. I have looked into concrete vs shipping containers and it seems that both have their issues. Concrete being easy to crack due to water and pressure and shipping containers not being as solid as they say. Anyone have any suggestions on an AFFORDABLE shelter?

[If I Purchase A Box]

Ummm yeah...Me thinks we need more details.

[Does your girlfriend/wife know the combo to your safe?]

My wife KINDA knows it. I have a spin dial and when I go away for a weekend/overnight or am working late, I spin the first two numbers and leave it on 0. My wife knows the last number so she can just turn it from "0" to the third number and open it. It's easier for her to remember one number and my privacy is intact.

[Time Off...]

Here's my week as a general rule:

M-F I work and come home and play with my little one until her bedtime then I play on TGO or watch TV

Saturday and/or Sunday I either work or do yard work while my wife is at work as long as my child is asleep. If she's not, we play. Then when she lays down I try to hurry through chores. Sometimes I get lucky and can make it out to fish, hunt or shoot. I work a lot but I want to make sure my family is taken care of.

[Loaded mag and the inability to chamber a round]

Ha ha maybe so! I can pull it a third back. It acts as if it is jammed.

[Loaded mag and the inability to chamber a round]

My question is that in my Glock 30, if I have a round in the chamber and I put a fresh FULL mag (10 rds) in and try to rack the slide (ejecting the chambered round and replacing it with one from the fresh mag) the slide stops. I physically cannot rack the slide. If I shoot it it is no problem, it cycles fine...any thoughts?

[My review of Tactical Response: Fighting Pistol]

I'm glad you had a good class...

I've dropped pistols and carbines before during training. If you are pushing hard it can happen. Purposely throwing a handgun down just to show that it truly is drop safe is a bit extreme to me. I have seen other instructors do it but only on their personal guns. I'm not throwing mine down just to prove a point that I already believe.

Getting ridiculed for not participating in that drill would probably not go over well with me.

I have friends that I trust 100% that have taken classes there and really enjoy it. I have other friends that I trust 100% that left before the end of the first day due to poor instructor attitudes and getting lip from the instructors for not participating in things the student considered unsafe.

If you had a good time I think going back is a great idea. I have a couple of places that I go back to every year. I also try to add one new school or instructor each year to continue to get different experiences. I always get something good or bad from each new school.

I hope you offer other AAR's as you continue your training journey, Mark

AFAIK no one didn't do the drop drill so I'm not sure how they would have responded. They didn't ridicule anyone. I had read online somewhere that someone said they make you drop your guns and then someone said they didn't. I was just saying that the drop drill was part of our class.
