Bert, The answer you got, in my opinion, shows arrogance. He voted his conscience? Well call me a hard liner but again in my opinion, his CONSCIENCE is NOT supposed to be a factor. He was sent there to represent a constituancy. The way I look at it, if he represents 100 people and 51 say "yes" and 49 say "no", then his vote is supposed to be "yes" because he is there to be the VOICE of the people who sent him and that voice said "yes". We have a representative form of government because getting 250 million people in Washington to vote on everything would be just a bit difficult. The same goes for the State. So you take small groups, elect ONE person to be their voice that that voice is supposed to say what the GROUP wants, regardless of what the single person who goes on their behalf wants. This caucus secret ballot crap should be illegal. There should be NOTHING our elected officials do that is done when doing the work of the people that should be allowed to be secret. In this setting, a secret ballot is for cowards, GROW a pair and be willing to stand up and be accountable for what you say and vote for. The Speaker is a MAJOR position in the government and the process to elect the person to that position should be PUBLIC!

Yep, They are officially Department of Safety and Homeland Security now. Don't worry the black helecopters aren't enroute to take your stuff yet! lol

If someone threatens me with a piece of a tree, I'm pretty sure I can convince a jury I was in fear of life and limb.

This is a lot of unsupported hype. First, the "special permit" the Infowars article talks about has almost nothing to do with individual gun rights. The "special permit" that could be revoked is a permit that would allow transporters to have approval to avoid certain safety requirements in commercial transmodal shipping. Shipping of guns could fall into that category, but a revocation of the "special permit" only means that the transporter would have to go back to meeting the safety requirements that already exist. Second, the issue of the passport revocation also isn't as easy as Infowars makes it out to be. The passport cannot be taken simply by the IRS "accusing" you of owing the debt. The passport revocation can only occur after the IRS has filed a lien or notice of levy for the debt. Even then, there are some restrictions. IRS liens and levies do not just happen. There is a lot of notice to the taxpayer before any of that happens. Unfortunately, Infowars has become very unreliable on these issues. No doubt the goverment expansion of power is a problem, but this is just not what Infowars says it is.

The Rs haven't been doing us any favors lately either. I think we have several very intelligent, knowledgeable, and politically involved individuals here in the TGO community that I would vote for if they ran.

If a business that pertains to firearms is struggling in this day and age, they are doing something wrong.

I have to be the "devil's advacate" here. I have yet to find a Glock that I like. The G/W's that I work with aren't real fond of their issued Glocks either. Just my opinion is all. I will never own a Glock/Brick.

I was just watching a few more videos of his. One of the ones I just watched made me laugh when he was trying to say nutcase but it came out nut cakes. Even though he is a not a good speaker his views are probably the same as 90% on this board. Hell, if Romney had Basil's opinion on things he would be more palateable to me. Dolomite

It's hard to tell from the pics but I'm pretty sure that is a replacement stock. Other than that it looks like a fine example of a WWII rebuild of a 1920 Mark I. Barrel is original.

...and mess up the field test of an AR-15 as a home defense weapon? The price of progress can be high sometimes.

That's just one of quite a few incidents you don't hear about from NBC or CBS, you have to read about it from a Drudge link, that's my main news source these days. Another thing Sharpton, Jackson, and the MEDIA have accomplished lately is that I am now more suspicious and cautious of any groups of young black males, say at Walmart etc. They can call it racism if they want but I bet i,m not the only one who wonders if that group of blacks hates my cracker @ss because of the Treyvon Martin case. They probably hated me before that but now it seems that they feel justified in trying something.

The sheer arrogance of our politicians is almost unbelievable. The national ones as well as the local/state ones. With these kinds of attitudes, Im not sure things CAN be fixed without eventual violence. And please dont misconstrue that to say I'm in favor of revolution or anything like that. I just don't see any resolution to the problems we face.

OhShoot; laying down the law one post at a time. lol

When ever I'm in a safe. I say, "those damn spiders, I don't know how they get in there." The end.

This is the first instance I am aware of where a black person was charged with a "hate crime".

Oh, those are yours? I meant...Man, those things are sweet.

If your wife/girlfriend knew the combo to your safe, how are you supposed to "hide" those most recent purchases.

If you were in his shoes and were innocent would you think $15,000 was cheap?

I have more holsters than I have shoes. I have fewer holsters than my wife has shoes.

They want to put drones in the air but they can't keep squatters out of public parks. I've had my fill of this dictator, his wife telling kids what to eat and the libs controlling every thing. Four more years of this idiot and we won't be able to recognize this country any longer.

Pot stirring get a Kahr IMHO better trigger , lighter weight , smaller size , more concealable , safer to carry. Let it rain .........
