Not sure about that, but I don't recall anyone ever mentioning it taking nearly that long.

IIRC, I got mine in roughly 3 weeks.

Yep! Shouldn't be too much longer.

Do people not think about this type of thing before dishing out that kind of cash? Barrett should include a list of ranges that are willing to allow .50 BMG.

That pretty well sums it up.

The Dick's that is directly across the street from the Rivergate Academy Sports seems to be doing just fine for years now.

Although it would be nice know the rest of the story, out of curiosity, it hardly seems to matter in this situation. There is no "out" for the EMS worker, as far as I can see. He was in illegal possession of a firearm, and based on the news article, his life did not appear to be in immediate danger. The victim was in his own vehicle when the EMS approached him with a loaded firearm. I can't think of too many scenarios, if any, where the EMS worker would be justified in doing what he did.

Looks like we should have planned that ride for today instead of yesterday.

There's just something about females with beards.

In no way am I bashing anyone who takes such a course, but I can't help but be just a little surprised that so many grown men take a course to learn how to ride a motorcycle.

Academy Sports + Outdoors is one of my favorites.

Huge thunder and lightning. Tons of rain. Power outage.

True. I was referring to the 4", service models. The 4.5" XDM .45 has roughly twices as much slide length past the frame. This was the same issue I had with the XDM .40 I purchased. As a personal preference, I simply couldn't get used to it.

Interstate 95 in New Jersey is nicknamed the “Iron Pipeline” because it is a popular route for criminals smuggling firearms from the South. “Operation Iron Pipeline” is an anti-gun initiative named for the nickname for Interstate 95.

I only wish the slide and frame were closer to the same length, like the XD's.

Catch This: Hundreds Of Grenades Shipped To Clam Plant - Boston News Story - WCVB Boston NEW BEDFORD, Mass. -- It's not unusual for East Coast fishermen to find grenades and other old munitions in their traps, but rarely do they find 126 at once. Workers at the Fair Tide Shellfish plant were stunned Friday to find the World War II era grenades as they began to process a load of clams that had been dredged up off Long Island and shipped to New Bedford for processing. Some of the vintage grenades had pins-- others did not-- but all were potentially dangerous. "Come to find out, based on what the Navy said, they were live. They were loaded for bear so to speak," said Tom Slaughter of Fair Tide Shellfish. There were entire cases of grenades still intact in their original wooden crates, covered in black muck from decades spent in deep waters. "We thought they were like big chunks of black coal, the kind used in old ships. When one broke open, we found all the grenades inside. The cases were encompassed in black coal-like marine life," said Slaughter. The plant was evacuated and the State Police Bomb Squad and the U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal team moved in. They moved the grenades out in a dump truck full of sand. The slow procession made its way to a nearby jetty, where experts set up an isolated, controlled site to detonate the old munitions. The grenades were detonated safely in a spectacular blast at about 7:30 p.m. The shockwave from the blast was felt over a mile away, but there were no injuries.

Just heard the first claps of thunder in the distance.

Welcome back! Enjoy your stay!

FOXNews.com - Homeless 'Hero' Ignored While Dying on NYC Street A heroic homeless man, stabbed after saving a Queens woman from a knife-wielding attacker, lay dying in a pool of blood for more than an hour as nearly 25 people indifferently strolled past him, a shocking surveillance video obtained by the New York Post reveals. Some of the passers-by paused to stare at Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax last Sunday morning and others leaned down to look at his face. He had jumped to the aid of a woman attacked on 144th Street at 88th Road in Jamaica, Queens, at 5:40 a.m., was stabbed several times in the chest and collapsed as he chased his assailant. In the wake of the bloodshed, a man came out of a nearby building and chillingly took a cellphone photo of the victim before leaving. And in several instances, pairs of people gawked at Tale-Yax without doing anything. Later, another man stopped, leaned over and vigorously shook Tale-Yax’s body. After lifting the victim’s head and body to reveal a pool of blood, he also walked off. Not until some 15 minutes after he was shaken by the pedestrian -- more than an hour and 20 minutes after the victim collapsed -- did firefighters finally arrive and discover that Tale-Yax, 31, had died. Firefighters were responding to a 911 call of a non-life-threatening injury at 7:23 a.m. when they found his body.

Most Wal-Mart stores have a vision center. I guess you're still allowed to carry there.

I'm more than a little bummed because the forecast has put a halt to the Mid-Tenn TGO Motorcycle Ride that was scheduled for today. I know they're calling for some rough weather, but as I look out my window at this moment, it looks beautiful out there. Any of you to the west / southwest seeing any bad weather yet?
