I had the same dilemma last fall when I was truck shopping. GM and Chrysler didn't make my long list due to politics.   The Titan, Tundra, and F-150 stacked up pretty even on performance for what I needed. So, I ended up picking based on looks, comfort, and aftermarket parts availability. It got real easy at the bargaining table when price came into play. The F-150 was CONSIDERABLY less expensive.

      In the Nashville/Mid-TN Area these are 2 of my favorites too.    For something different, but completely badass...Thida Thai in Smyrna. I'm a Thai food junkie and have tried it almost every restaurant in the area. This one is the bomb (94% thumbs up on UrbanSpoon).   http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/47/1458574/restaurant/Nashville/Thida-Thai-Smyrna

I'm not an AR pistol fan to begin with, but I try to keep an open mind. I asked myself, "self, if you didn't think AR pistols were awkward and ugly enough as it is, would you give this a try?"   My answer was "hell no!", which I thought was rather rude. I need to work on my people skills.

I definitely notice seeing more tattoos than I used to, but not sure what to attribute it to. I do know that there has always been a public stigma against it. I knew this going in, so I made sure all of my ink could be discreetly covered by short sleeves and long pants. I refused to let my personal affinity for tattoos affect my career opportunities.   I agree that too many people don't think this through then complain that society is not being fair when their ink/piercings keep them from getting the job they want. I think you need to make sure you have the kind of job where that doesn't matter BEFORE you start making permanent decisions like this.    Also, they aren't cheap that is true. So, when I see a welfare mom covered in ink or a dirt poor guy with thousands of dollars worth of ink, I also question their priorities. On the same note, I know plenty of folks whose car could use new tires or house could use a new roof that can't wait to show me their new 1911 too.

Spots, you have good taste, bro. Luv me some Merrell shoes.

I'm definitely with you about the corruption of all kinds in this case from day one. The media tainted both the jury pool and the politicians. The politicians tried to railroad Z for a scapegoat, rigging the prosecution. The judge allowed the prosecution leeway that I've never seen/heard of and denied common sense evidence that would have helped the defense. Yet still, after all that, a hand selected jury listened to this rigged trial, sifted through the BS, found evidence/truth in the testimony, and rendered the right verdict. Maybe "restored faith" is a bit too strong, but I'm sure we agree this verdict is a thin silver lining at least.

Glad to see the jury got it right, weighing the evidence against law instead of falling for the emotional ploy. SOME of my faith in our legal system has been restored, but not enough to go back to calling it a justice system.

OMG...one of the comments referred to the weapon as a "sixcooter"!!!

That is NOT what I was expecting to read about. How would you like to be the officer who had to disassemble the firearm? Good thing they snatched this up before she could hurt somebody.:rofl:

I hope every penny this dumba$$ makes for the rest of his life (if he ever gets out of jail) goes to the family of the victim for wrongful death. That's freakin' great, the sporting rifle owning community now has a new spokesperson. Meet Andrew Meyer, Jr...the new face of America's gun owners.

I don't want to play, if they're fast. I'm too fat, old, and out of shape for that shit. The only thing fun about the zombie apocalypse was supposed to be that for once, I'm faster than my counterpart. I think I'll just take up sloth hunting instead.

  I've been known to put my LaserLyte Training Cartride in my P-01 and see if I can shoot every zombie in an episode.   That would really make these movie-goers freak out.

  I know who she is, but even as old as I am, she's almost old enough to be my grandma.     She was definitely hot back in the early 80's though.

My first thoughts...'that's gotta be one of the worst ideas I've ever...ooh, that looks pretty damn cool"   NICE!

nice gun

There are some women I'd pay good money to see nekked.   If I could pay her with my wife's jewelry...all the better. Likewise, she's welcome to all the anithistamines, aspirin, and zit cream in my medicine cabinet.   However, there ain't no set of ta ta's I'd like to see bad enough to lose a gun over.

Man arrested for making gun gesture in TX theater Who yelled "fire" in a crowded theater? The guy making the gun gesture at the screen? The person who yelled "he's got a gun"?

ain't that the truth! One of my son's friends once asked me if I believed "curving a bullet like in that one movie with that hot chick and the black guy" was possible.

Over at the CZFirearms.us forum there's a CZ 82/83 club that's worth checking out. I learned a lot about my CZ 82 from there...like what part(s) are no longer in production and where to find them while you can.

  That Walther model is pretty cool. Right off the top of my head, I can't name another SA/DA striker fired gun with a decocker (perhaps someone can enlighten me who else made something similar). Those crazy Germans come up with some cool stuff, huh?   However, everyone except Hollywood actors/directors/advisers knows a Glock slide MUST be racked to preset the trigger.

If I can remember that far back, I think I paid around $180 shipped for my first one. That was back when these $8 boxes of Brown Bear were everywhere. The Silver Bear was a nice deal at $10-11/box too for hollow points. Nowadays, I had to start reloading my own to keep from paying $16-18 plus shipping for a box...that is, IF I can find them.

That was awesome! I can't believe how patient and cool that cop was being.

  In the immortal words of Maude Findlay: "God'll getcha for that one."   funny as hell, though

  That's good stuff, man. I had forgotten about that added benefit. I remember now, seeing a video where the guy mentioned using the side saddle for staging specialty rounds. That may be a good enough reason to get one all by itself.

I really only wanted one because they're bada$$ and tacticool, anyway.
