  3. What any of those three brings to the table is far better than Obama and his EXTREME friends. In this country, the best way for us to "fight to keep our liberty" is at the ballot box. You have a chance to do that in November. Like him or not, Ron Paul doesn't stand a chance to win in November. That's just the way it is. Writing-in a vote or voting 3rd party in the General might make you feel all warm and fuzzy for about 2 months, but I will choose to play it smart not emotional by voting for ABO. Let's get this EXTREMIST out of office. We can fire him in November. I will not hold my nose as I vote for Romney or Santorum. No president will ever be perfect, and they are better than what we have. I wish we had better choices but right now, it is what it is.

  6. I have a Kershaw that I've had for probably 6-7 years. The open assist broke on it a few months back, so I sent it in. Since it has a lifetime warranty. To my surprise I received it back within the same week, cleaned, sharpened and spring assist in brand new working order! EXCELLENT customer service. I didn't have to call anyone or anything, just put it in a box and ship it in. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but seems that when anything works as advertised these days it's surprising. ... .... Does that mean I'm getting old? That sounded like an old guy thing to say....

  7. May surprise some of you, but I'm actually going to bag the primary. You all decide. I'll show holding nose to vote for GOP nominee in the general -- and again urge everyone to do same. Wish I could vote several times then, like Dems. - OS

  8. Not voting is in fact a vote. Just not cast in a polling place. I have in the past turned in an empty ballot when not happy with the voting options. That was my vote. But this time around the stakes are too high to not cast a ballot and vote against obama.

  9. Yeah, I'd say that it depends on the person. I always had a significant other waiting on me so I didn't want a big deal made... I just wanted a few days privacy.

  11. I have purchased at least 3 handguns and one rifle from Buds and even using a credit card their prices are still cheaper than I have found elsewhere. Their shipping is also fast, I think the longest I have waited is one week and it is usually only a few days. There isn't really any confusion to their pricing, the advertised price is the cash price which already includes shipping. If you want to use a credit card add 3% to that. I think I have made one purchase from a seller on gunbroker and it went smooth also.

  12. It's disgusting that students are not allowed to defend themselves. I never felt safe on UT's campus.

  13. This is ridiculous. I am a full time student at TSU and I feel I need my gun most down off Jefferson. October 27th 2010 another TSU student was shot but killed at Jefferson st right out of the gates. We need to get the law passed where us students can carry!

  14. better question may be "who has one?" Looking on Glock Talk there is allegedly 148,000 backorders on Glocks. Right now my favorite gun store can't get a blue label G19 from Craigs and has no idea when they might be available. I personally watched a young GI take a beeline to Guns and Leather when my favorite gun store owner called G&L for the guy to see if they had a G19. They had several. He left the store for Greenbrier like a scalded cat.

  19. There aren't many cases in which a Class 3 weapon has been used. The only one I know of is the Gary Fadden case from 1984. He was a salesman for H&K and used a full auto Ruger AC556 in self-defense. It looked pretty clear that it was self-defense, but the full auto defense weapon was a political issue. From what Massad Ayoob has stated in his American Handgunner article on the case, the first 2 prosecutors on the case would not bring charges, but a third prosecutor was finally put on the case and brought a 1st degree murder charge. Fadden eventually won the case, but it was expensive (luckily, H&K paid for a large portion of the defense, even though the weapon was Fadden's personal weapon). As Patrick stated, the type of weapon used doesn't really change the legal arguments. But the type of weapon certainly can have an effect on the prosecutor and/or jury. As for handloaded ammo, Ayoob has argued for years that you shouldn't use handloaded ammo for self-defense. The reasoning is that handloads are almost impossible to replicate for evidence. The most famous case on this issue was the Danny Bias case. That resulted in 4 separate trials (including 2 hung juries, one overturned conviction, and finally a conviction for reckless manslaughter). The GSR evidence (or lack thereof) was the real problem in that case. However, realize that he was charged with killing his wife and he argued that she committed suicide. The lack of GSR on his wife's body was a BIG issue. Obviously, you have to use your own judgment. The question is whether it is worth the POTENTIAL problem.

  20. I've thought about this many times, though not with a class III, just my EDC. I would, in court, at the end of the hearing, once I was cleared of any charges of wrongdoing and my name was cleared, RAISE MY HAND. The Judge will undoubtedly recognize me and I'd just ask plain and simple. "Your Honor, if I'm cleared of any wrong doing, is not a reasonable request to have my property returned to me immediately? If this trial is over and I've proven to be within my legal rights of self defense, then may I please have my property back sir?" It would be a nice tool to have when going to the authorities to get you gun back: The judge said, on record, that I can have it back. So give it to me.

  21. No need to insult the guy and make him feel bad about what he has when there is no reason for it. Like Mike said, Maadi's and Norinco's are some of the best around if you know which ones to look for. They can be near the top or near the bottom. If his guns are working for him they are good AK's. If he gets Arsenals or the like he will notice the difference, but they are still a loose tolerance AK.

  22. Like BK says, its only racism if it is a white guy doing it. Freaking Barack Obama is not any blacker than he is white. And him being half white does not make him a pathetic president anymore than being half black does. He is pathetic because he is in over his head, has little to no practical experience at anything worthwhile and has never had to earn a living.

  23. Yup ...mercury (thermometers are such fun) ...and lead paint (latex based paint sucks) ...we were half a block from a chemical storage (they had leak) ...the bearing plant dumped cromium in the watertable. My wife took her gun and discovered a possum trying to scrabble a partial applecore out of the compost barrel in the backyard, he left...she got the "grabber" and pulled the apple out and left it where he could get it. Great idea...now the possum sleeps under the bedroom window...Possums snore.
