  2. We are in total agreement on this. I have about all I think I'll reasonably need in my lifetime, but it is still disheartening to see all the PC BS that has intruded into all aspects of our lives now. Retailers are getting pressured by public opinion polls, people supposedly representing "large numbers" of concerned citizens, and of course the thumb twisting in the board rooms by the feds. It is exasperating.

  10. In a way I think the willingness to change one's position based on further information is a sign of intelligence. As long as it's based on information rather than the wind I'm ok with it. When I was young I thought I was a democrat. Would I be more acceptable here if I had remained so? I don't respect anyone who digs in their heels and gives no heed to new facts as they arise. Given his being a New Yorker and their long history of being anti-gun, I wouldn't expect him to be pro-2nd his entire life. People like Kasich, on the other hand, are a different matter. He can state how pro-2nd he is but his actions demonstrate otherwise.

  11. We're ordering a BUNCH of these things it looks like. I will turn the order in to the supplier this weekend and we'll just have to see what they say the turnaround is going to be. I hope the turnaround is quick, but it will depend on how many engraving systems they have I'm sure.

  15. From what I was told tonight they did this after sandy hook too. Took guns down and put them under the shelf for about 10 days and then put them back up. Like I said earlier no one heard anything about the ammo issue. For what it's worth no one at the store level was pleased with the decision, the manager was Pissed.

  17. I am in a minority here. I can't really think of anything to thank my parents for without being facetious. So with that in mind I can honestly say that my parents taught me what kind of parent not to be.

  23. I hope it's a false rumor, because I like shopping at Academy. If it's not I hope they lose so many customers that no retailer ever mixes political decisions with business decisions EVER again.

  24. If this is true, Academy must think they have more liberal customers than conservative ones.

  25. That's funny, I've come to the same conclusion about the "instincts". I haven't blocked anyone though. I've spent years being molded by the comments section or online interaction. I'm proud to say I'm fairly troll proof.

  26. Yep. I haven't stepped into a Dicks since they pulled that stunt a few years ago. Sucks to see Academy loosing sight of the real problem here.

  27. I don't think anyone needs to incite panic buying. Hillary Clinton is going to be the Democratic nominee (and likely next president, sadly) so panic buying is going to happen. Encouraging people to get ahead of the panic buying while there is still time is a 'public service announcement' to my mind - not that most folks on here should need it.

  34. I've blocked a couple of members in the past. Some people just have no social value to me at all. The forum later banned them so my instincts must have been accurate.

  36. Call 'em back. A different CS rep may have a totally different attitude. If not, ask to speak to a supervisor. If they're still unco-operative, raise 14 kinds of hell with them. They have to hear the wheel squeaking before they'll grease it.

  39. Murg, since when has not being a lawyer stopped any of us from dispensing legal advice? Loudly proclaiming our opinions as facts is a time-honored TGO tradition, except for Chip of course, who has a bad habit of ruining entertaining threads with actual facts ...

  41. After we bought our house last summer the wife talked me into getting a grill. Now it is rather shameful to admit, but I had minimal prior grilling experience. I have spent nearly every Sunday since March (and several Saturdays, a few Fridays and even a Thursday or two) grilling out. We have done pork chops, pork roasts, cod wrapped in cedar, hamburgers, hotdogs, steak, chicken, a couple of racks of ribs, god knows home much corn, clams, brats, potatoes, sweet potatoes... Hell I have lost count. And I don't know how I lived before this. For the record we use charcoal.

  43. That's something we can't have on this side of the pond. And I agree with Caster... Can't fit much back there. IMHO, if the cab is bigger than the bed, it ain't a pickup. Truth be known (and call me a redneck) I'd rather have an El Camino.
