As much as I hate to say this, it's their propery and our rights to NOT be searched end when we decide to enter their facilities. Our only choices are refusing to be searched in hopes they'll back down or leaving. Their private property rights trump all our rights. Luckily, most businesses are too smart to go too far. Like others said, these searches will likely end when everyone forgets about the shooting in CO. Until then, theaters probably feel like any pretenses of security will please more patrons than it pisses off.

I've been looking at these lately too. I'd be interested to hear some first-hand knowledge instead of the usual copy/paste from the internet, which is mostly what I've seen.

It's sad, really, when science becomes politicized. Many of these global warming "scientists" are well-educated and initially mean well. When it became known that some were fudging numbers to support their theories, I was disappointed. When it became known that most who had done so were getting gov't grants, I was disgusted. The gov't shouldn't hand out money to scientists willing to prove global warming exists.

At 15 yards I'd say you're definitely improving fast. That Glock will come around, just stay focused on your grip and trigger discipline. -
Just had to put down one of our security dogs :(

I can't offfer anything but my sincerest condolences to someone who loses an animal. I can only imagine if it were a partner. -

Real men still open doors for ladies and try their best not to fart/burp in front of them.

Almost everything I know about being a real man is covered by Rudyard Kipling in "IF" (http://www.kipling.org.uk/poems_if.htm). Of course others would say real men don't read poetry, though.

Just got a proper belt. Wow what a difference!
BigK replied to 10-Ring's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I've been using a kydex reinforced instructor's belt more and more lately too. I love leather, but these nylon/velcro belts are much easier to adjust and don't creak. -
Moviegoer accidentally shoots himself in the rear

I hope he's charged too, maybe something like gross negligence. He's too dumb to be carrying a gun around, if he's not smart enough to control it. -
I know this sounds cruel, but I think the main thing keeping Skyler alive is the fact that she's laundering his money and keeping the car wash going while he cooks. He knows she doesn't love him any more. She said she'd just waiting and when he asked for what, she said 'for the cancer to come back'. Plus, she's chain smoking in the house where he sleeps and breathes.

The plot of this series is great, but watching the main characters change is even better. Pinkman had the most ups and downs, but has become the most level headed person on the show. Walt has had the most to overcome, but went from sad little HS teacher to drug kingpin. Skyler went from stay at home mom to adulterous bookcooking accountant to money launder hiring thugs and looke at her now. She's a basketcase. I wouldn't put it past Walt to drug her and put her back in the pool. Nobody would suspect a thing, but he couldn't do that to the kids...could he?

You won't be spending that much when that 22/45 comes in! I'd 50 rounds or less of 9mm and the rest .22LR, if I were you. I also hope you learned as much as I did about NOT buying Winchester ammo for my Ruger, LOL. -
I've shot all 3 quite a bit and agree that I would rule out the XD first too. I like the grip angle of the Ruger better, but I shoot the Glock a little bit more accurately. The Ruger's trigger pull is longer, but it doesn't stack as much at the end as the Glock does. The Glock is a heckuva lot simpler to disassemble/clean, you'll find a lot more compatible gear, and Glock mags are way cheaper, but the Ruger is lot less expensive. You can afford a couple of extra mags and a holster & mag pouch with the savings. Overall it's a tough call. Sorry, if that just muddied the waters for you. In the end you know what the most important points are for you.

I love the idea of neck knives and still have one of the half dozen I've bought over the years. I just can't get used to them under my shirt. Personally, I prefer a tip-up pocket folder, like the Kershaw Leek. However, I like the looks of that Boker Plus Rambler a LOT. I didn't realize I needed one of them, thanks Mykltn. Of course, first thing I'll have to do is make a horizontal leather holster for it.

I'm hoping they are able to repeal the Hall income tax before I retire. It's a flat 6% tax on dividend and interest income (like 401K) after $1250/person or $2500/married couple. It accounts for 2% of the state's income, so it's gonna be a tough sell to politicians. Otherwise, I agree that TN is a pretty good place. I've lived here all my life and other than Idaho it's the only place I'd ever wanna live.

I only got caught up last season. I didn't know where they could possibly go at the end of the season. This season has me on the edge of my seat and it's killing me. I never had to wait a week between episodes before. The end of this last episode was tense! I was wondering how the beginning of the episode would fit in. Holy crap!!!

If I came home with that much reloading stuff, my kids would know I cashed in their college tuition fund.

Don't let the fact that you're on the clock keep you from trying an IDPA match somewhere. The scenarios are fun and it's a lot more laid back than you'd think. You'll get to shoot stuff you'll never get a chance to see anywhere else. Don't even let the fact that they're keeping score enter your mind, just shoot and have fun. -
Now you know good and well, the libtards will NEVER allow guns in space.

One time at Outpost Armory, a lady next to me with an obvious northern accent was trying on an IWB. She raised her arms over her head, bent like tying her shoe, and such, asking the dude she was with if he could see anything. I asked if their state was "concealed only" and she said yes and that you can lose your permit just for getting made. If true/accurate, that's pretty harsh and I don't agree with it either. Makes me glad I live here in the south, where folks got good sense about such things.

No telling how much it'd cost to get a new pistol shipped to the moon Funny story, btw...sounds like something mine would say. For a creatures with more shoes than sense sometimes, they have their moments don't they?

Bob Munden hit a balloon from 600 yard with a .44 magnum. So, 165 is possible, but I'd still bet on the typo.

My sister got her zodiac sign tattooed on her thigh in Arabic for some stupid reason. Do they even have astrological signs in Islamic countries? Any way, several years later she says she was at the beach with her kids when some Muslim guy asked her why she has a tattoo that says "virgin". She said, no, it says "Virgo". He just smiled, shook his head, and pointed at his turban.

I won a Gen 4 Glock 17 in a drawing for the RSO volunteers at last year's GSSF match. A couple of years back I won a trip to NC to attend a defensive handgun class put on by The Sportsman Channel along with a $150 pair of Peltor electronic muffs and some free tactical clothing and gear. Right after that I won a free holster of my choice from High Noon Holsters in a Christmas drawing over on CZFirearms.com I guess good luck comes in 3's for me, b/c I'd never won anything prior to that.
