To me a trainer stops being top tier when he teaches there is just one right answer for all situations and threats. I was taught to choose tactics by looking at all relevant factors, such as the mission, enemy, terrain, time available, etc. For example, when hiking and camping near GSMNP, a bear encounter's more likely than a disarming and mugging, so I open carry then.

Check out Burris, too. I have used a 3x Burris prism scope (model 332, I think) in several run and gun matches and it works well. Inexpensive, too.

"Fresh brisket on the board!"

To the top.

Bump for reduced price.

All PMs responded to. Thanks.

This. And I'm not saying the murder was justified; I'm saying a lot of prospective jurors would feel ripped off by insurance companies. It reminds me of the Bernie Goetz trial in NY years ago after he shot 4 or 5 would-be muggers. If memory serves, he was acquitted by the jury on all charges. What he said about the incident was something like, "Well, screw those guys - they... they were trying to rip me off!"

You just raised the bar, Defender!

KCT, thanks for your interest. Respectfully, I am not comfortable traveling to a different county to meet a brand new TGO member to then sell these items for less than my asking price.

Disappointed to read that story. I hope NCOs there are making sure their soldiers get fed, one way or another. Those NCOs should also be writing letters to their congressman asking him to initiate a congressional inquiry into the officers' actions.

You need to talk with TGO member Smith. He knows a ton about AKs and will get you sorted out. Incidentally, he's also a stand up guy.

Appreciate the OP starting this thread - news to me. Glad our state officials resisted this. Unfortunately, I expect more of the same antics from the federal government.

Free bump for a guy so torn up about selling this revolver that he wept tears into the gun's box - and was honest about it. J/k. That is one bad bad weapon! GLWS.

PM sent.

At one time Kel-Tec sold Sub 2000 guns with a factory feed ramp made of plastic. Aftermarket steel feed ramps are available. They're neat weapons, and I firmly believe inexpensive guns serve an important role. But after doing a few 2-gun matches, I prefer rifle caliber carbines now for practical purposes.

Colossal thank you to Matt, Jay, and the ROs and volunteers who came in from more than 20 states to pitch in. Today was (as usual for Legion) an amazing match. And getting to carry SGT Brian Buker's dogtag on the course was an honor. You can read his Medal of Honor citation at cmohs.org. TGO folks, if you've never been to this event, you're missing an absolute blast of a time.

Pain103, thanks for that - much appreciated.

Appreciate the OP starting this thread. If anyone comes across the judicial opinion itself, please post a link.

Defender, glad you enjoyed D&T Arms. Dave's good people and I'm sorry it closed. A year and a half after my enlistment ended, I needed work. When he found out he gave me a job on the spot at the store. I learned a ton there.

The staff make or break a gun shop. A huge selection brings people in (think Nashville Armory) but the way they treat customers is what brings people back. Sumner Gun is a great example - they've made a loyal customer out of me. Hope Outpost takes the same approach to customer service.

Frustrating. Sorry to hear about the company's closure and your friend's troubles. Even sorrier it wasn't possible for the company to litigate these cases on the merits. I completely understand settling. It would be a long, expensive process. Still, it might have resulted in final decisions against the cities - discouraging other cities from using the same tactic in the future against other companies that make parts, accessories, etc. It's unfortunate the company sold products in blue states in the first place. That increased the chance of having to defend state law tort suits against the company in places hostile to civil rights. It also made the defense harder for the company.
