I'm sure if they try to subpoena him it will be shot down somehow.

[quote name='Wheelgunner' timestamp='1352498266' post='842697'] Senator Feinstein says Gen. Petraeus will not testify in Senate hearings on Benghazi next week due to his "resignation." Isn't that convenient? [url="http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/11/09/15054517-cia-director-david-petraeus-resigns-cites-extramarital-affair?lite"]http://usnews.nbcnew...tal-affair?lite[/url] [/quote] That's what I was wondering. If he would actually testify. I am no conspiracy buff but this is all too convenient.

Just stick that TCP in your pocket and go. She probably won't ever notice. Or just cook her dinner at your place and you won't have to worry about it!

[quote name='JAB' timestamp='1352495814' post='842655'] The more I think about it, the more I think it odd that there was so much hatin' on Lori. Yes, the character could sometimes be annoying but the idea that she 'planted seeds' between Rick and Shane makes no sense. The whole drama between those three was Shane's fault, period, and he got what was coming to him. Remember, Shane told Lori that Rick was, without a doubt, dead. Shane was supposedly Rick's best friend and Lori thought she could trust him. Therefore, she had no reason to believe that she was cheating on Rick. As far as she knew, her husband was dead and her world was falling apart. Heck, there was only one adult still present in her world who she knew from before and that was Shane. From her point of view, in some ways, Shane probably represented all she had left of her relationship with Rick and their old life. Shane was also keeping her and Carl safe, protecting them and being there for them. It would not be hard to accept that she would cling to Shane, believing his lies about Rick being dead, and end up in a relationship with him. For his part, Shane left Rick behind just like he left Otis behind. In some ways, both decisions were pragmatic but in other ways both represented Shane sacrificing someone who trusted him (and, in Rick's case, his supposed best friend) at least partly for his own, selfish reasons. Shane only made the half-hearted (half-assed) attempt to block Rick's hospital room door with a rolling gurney in order to assuage his own, guilty conscience. Then he told Lori an outright and bald-faced lie, indicating that he knew for certain that Rick was dead. Had Lori even suspected that Rick might still be alive I do not believe she would have slept with Shane - remember how shocked she was to see Rick still alive and how angry she was at Shane. I also believe that Shane realized that - which is why he lied to Lori. He believed that Rick would be dead, sooner or later, and that even if he weren't he would never find Shane, Lori and Carl again - or if Rick did, by that time he (Shane) would be permanently ensconced in Lori and Carl's lives. Shane was a low-down, sorry, lying, back-stabbing bastich and I am glad he's dead. As for Lori getting angry at Rick at the end of Season Two, I didn't take it that she was angry over Rick killing Shane. If you notice in the scene where he tells Lori, her real look of shock comes when Rick reveals that Shane came back - even though he wasn't bitten - and that Carl had to kill him the second time. Lori still felt that Carl should be sheltered and the fact that he had to shoot walker Shane was probably a bit much for her to handle. Even more, though, Lori had another really good reason to be angry at Rick. He knew that the living are all infected but did not tell her - and the truth of that was, again, born out by the fact that an unbitten Shane came back from the dead. If one were a woman in that world who had just recently had to decide whether or not to continue a new pregnancy, I would think that would be information such a woman would want to know. After all, as Lori herself alluded in a recent episode, allowing the baby to fully form in her womb meant running the risk that the baby would die in utero, turn and then devour her from the inside. It also meant, at best, bringing a baby into a world where everyone, including the baby, would become walkers upon their death. Rick withheld that information from her and, for that, I think she had every reason to be pissed at him. [/quote] You make good points!!

Well if so then I am glad to see it. I don't know a lot about him to be honest. It's still very fishy on the timing though. I mean it's one thing to be truthful about it and let the public and wife know about it but stepping down completely is odd. Maybe my spider sense is off though.

I just find it really hard to believe that he would give up that position over an affair. Don't get me wrong; affairs are bad and I don't condone them. But that kind of nobility, if you will, is hard to come by these days and I am skeptical when I see it. Especially in the government.

Wow. That seems a little off.....

Haha I just am not a big hugger anyways. It took me a while to show everyone that but I think they are catching on.

^^Don't know why but my post got screwed up and half cut off. Anyway it's fixed.

<p>[quote name='Gen. Patton' timestamp='1352477500' post='842483'] But if by some chance someone did have a firearm in church and it accidently discharged what then? That would be really messed up and I bet a person would probably have to change churches afterward! LOL! People would be scared to sit next to the guy. His whole pew, the pew in front of him, and the pew behind him; all empty! People are standing in the aisles and against the wall rather than sit by him. Am I wrong for thinking that would be funny as hell? [/quote] A negligent discharge can be prevented by more training. If you have a quality handgun in a quality holster that covers the trigger the gun will not fire unless something pulls the trigger. Also I carry a glock 23 every Sunday in church with a tuckable holster. My draw is MAYBE a second slower than with an untucked shirt draped over. Again it's all about what you train for. The only thing you have to watch out for is the huggers. I dodge them when I see them coming haha.

I am going to pick up a new parkerized PF9 I had on order tonight. If I get a chance to shoot it while I am there I will do a little range report on it.

The opinions on the PF9 are varied (As you may have guessed so far). If you go to the KTOG forums there is a sticky on there about doing a "fluff and buff". It is basically just going through the gun and polishing all of the parts where metal touches metal. I had a PF9 a while ago and never had to do this. I also never had any trouble out of the gun. I did polish the feed ramp but that was a "just in case" thing. At this price point I think you would be happy with it even if you have to go through it and polish it. Doing that seemed to fix any problems folks were having with them. I carried mine daily and shot it every week. It was a reliable piece for me.

My bad. Must have missed that.

I didn't sign it.

You are probably right tmf. Should have added the " that's what I would do" disclaimer. Mine wears wranglers. Haha

I would just tell her up front. If she doesn't like it stand your ground. She may or may not appreciate a man with strong principles.

It has a unique smell to it doesn't it? haha it's still lingering in my truck.

[quote name='reed1285' timestamp='1352404990' post='841965'] My .02 is that this all seems like a rerun from his first election as President. For three or four months afterwards all it was, was stock up on guns and ammo and head for the hills. You couldnt find an ar for under a grand, if you even found one at all in stock, and we are probably gonna do that to ourselves again. Behold, a few months went by with no attempt at our guns, and everybody settled down. This is adding up to the same thing. [/quote] But it is such a good excuse to give the wife for purchases!!

Yeah. I assume they have a real problem with folks shooting the equipment. I did not shoot head shots there because of all of the signs up at first. Once I took some classes I asked the instructor and he pretty much said the same. It keeps all the less experienced folks from shooting the equipment.

[quote name='SWJewellTN' timestamp='1352402704' post='841944'] Isn't that exactly what they are wishing upon others by their vote? None of them would shed a tear if Donald Trump, for example, lost everything and spent the rest of his days sleeping in a box. I put it in a more unpleasant manner on another forum. [/quote] I think that is a stretch comparing that to ACTUALLY in words wishing "deep suffering" on someones family. You may be right but even so though I think it's harsh. Just my opinion and it ain't worth much.

[quote name='SWJewellTN' timestamp='1352401619' post='841936'] You think he should have received a hug from Stick1 instead? [/quote]No. I don't agree with anything kesava said but wishing deep suffering on someones family is a bit much in my opinion. I think most on here would agree but maybe I'm wrong.

I have decided to have a "shooting pile" and a "stash pile" for that same reason. I can't go buy it without wanting to shoot it!

[quote name='6.8 AR' timestamp='1352398779' post='841896'] I still want to see kesava's argument with ET. Waiting... [/quote] +1

[quote name='stick1' timestamp='1352392874' post='841822'] well great , you and your family I hope will suffer deeply. commie [/quote]Well that's not very nice...

[quote name='PolePosition' timestamp='1352394464' post='841836'] (wonder if my local range will left their policy on making headshots on their targets). [/quote] Are you talking about Range USA? If so I don't think they really care about that. We were doing head shots in the classes I took there. Not to go off course here. Just letting you know.
