Wes builds amazing rifles and is an awesome guy. My latest -

Man, all these horrible Glocks....maybe we'll see some in the classified section for under $600.....

Those vendors are attempting to capitalize on the hype surrounding these mags. BCM has them (60rd) for $130. For what they're designed to be, they appear to be a fantastic, well made, reliable option.

That rifle is begging for some Krylon. It doesn't want to be black;)

I had Patrick set up my trust too when I moved back to TN a few months ago. Good guy to deal with and knew his business. I would recommend him to anyone who's looking for a lawyer written trust.

All you need to do now is start working on the trigger guard. I think you'll like the results.

Ok cool, my post sounded a little argumentative I thought and I wasn't trying for it.

He wasn't physically blocking the road. You don't leave people behind, especially with Haj. His inability to "get off the X" definitely exacerbated the situation. That's not even talking about his failure to identify the targets and put rounds downrange. He most certainly couldn't do that from where he was laying in the median. The fact that he was the only one who did that is what we call a "clue." I just want to add that while I am disagreeing with you Rebel, I'm not attacking you. We're going to think what we're going to think based off our experiences. edited for misspelling a word!

I'm apathetic towards him. I don't hate or like the guy. I'll say that his actions, past and present, speak volumes about himself. Yeager lost himself a ton of business the way he dealt with that guy.

It's not that everything was his fault. It was his attempt to shift blame that topped off the mistakes he made. ETA: From the Company's AAR - Actions during the contact itself were conducted in accordance with the team SOP. The team attempted to drive out of the kill zone but this action was precluded due to operator error for vehicle one and mechanical failure due to enemy fire with vehicles two and three. Upon failing to extract by vehicle the operators evacuated the vehicles and established a base of fire in order to suppress enemy forces so as to then be able to break contact as required. The fact that the team suffered 50 percent casualties in the initial volley of fire detracted from their ability to sufficiently suppress the enemy thus also negating their ability to then break contact. James Yeager in accordance with the team SOP attempted to break contact in the opening stages of the contact yet fire superiority and or suppression had at that time not been established. Ian Harris and Mark Collen, each under heavy enemy fire, were the only two individuals during the contact who attempted to suppress enemy forces. Simon Merry was continuing to try to maneuver his vehicle to a position of support to vehicle one and then two whilst Al Johnson was busily treating multiple casualties at his location with vehicle three. James Yeager was in a location at the median where he could not engage enemy forces as he did no have a line of fire from his location. Ian Harris as team 2 IC provided leadership to the team through the use of verbal commands and fire control while the team leader, Al Johnson attended to the wounded personnel from his vehicle. Ian Harris, with assistance from Coalition Forces and Olive Security, consolidated the team and evacuated the area.

You should really go read up on the facts before posting. Also, as stated by Jason, it wasn't just his multiple mistakes on scene that led to his dismissal. It was his AAR where he blamed everyone except himself that got him tossed. ETA: wrote that before the replies

Lol, that came out of the blue...

Entertaining to say the least. JY definitely lost himself some business with his responses.

Ok, tracking. Funny how companies won't enforce their own policies.

Did you go to one of the UPS franchises or to a main hub? That's the difference maybe. It can be done.....but generally, not at the franchises. Also, I don't see how a FTF and shipping to a TN resident are two separate issues (unless I'm missing your point). They both involve legally selling a firearm to a legal recipient. The only issue that arises is when UPS/FedEx misinterprets their own rules - and that can be worked out. When I was in WA, I attempted to ship a pistol through the local UPS Store in Yelm. I had to drive out to UPS Customer Center in Tumwater in order to ship it. The first time, no problem. The second time, I had to show the lady the UPS rules on paper before she finally accepted the package.

Very true. However in this particular situation, I would've had to drive a 6 hour round trip to/from Nville. It is way cheaper to ship than pay the $3.50+ gal of gas.

I don't know about FedEx, but UPS has done it for me before. They are sporadic with their terms of service. I've found that you need to go to an actual shipping hub, not one of the satellite stores. I've done it twice. The second time, I had to show them their own rules but it went out. Like I said, I understand that guy didn't want to ship to a non-FFL, especially someone he's never met/spoken to before. It's just kind of annoying when someone tells you something is illegal and it's 100% legal.

Lol, that was my first post.....I guess the intro page doesn't count.

Hopefully this is in the right place.....if not I apologize and would like it moved to the correct place. I'm sure this has been covered, but I couldn't find it in a search. I came across a Glock 26 on ArmsList in Nashville and asked the owner if he ever made it to the Memphis area. He said no, the furthest he would go would be exit 188. Definitely too far of a drive for me so I asked if he would consider shipping it. He's under the impression that you can only ship a firearm through an FFL. That's true.......for an OUT of state (interstate) transfer. Intrastate, you can ship a firearm (provided you follow the carrier's rules). It's just like meeting me on the exit of I40 or the parking lot of the local gun store. I understand if someone is more comfortable going through an FFL, especially with a guy you've never met or spoken to. That's his right and I respect that. I thanked him for his time and moved on. However, I think people should be aware of the actual law. Sorta how my LEO friend told me my suppressor was illegal....I had to help him become informed / familiar with the law for the next time he runs into someone with one and the proper paperwork. I mentioned that he could look up the law himself or check here on TGO.....and he told me he was already a member! So that's good.....I hope he sees this.

Lol yes me too. That's what marriage will get you...It's actually Arlington though. I'm happy with the immediate area.

Just moved back to TN (Memphis) after I ETS'ed. Looking for information, good people, good shooting, etc.
