I'm glad you reminded me of that. I was just looking at it. Why should I not sign it?

Ain't that the damn truth! Luckily, my Friday route just changed, so I may have a chance to stop by Hero Gear a little more often. The 115 mile/2 hour drive from my home can be a killer. There is definitely a market for a Hero Gear in the Nashville area.

My C&R FFL came in the mail today. I sent it off on the 30th, so less than a 3 week turn around.

Welcome to TGO, Matt. Enjoy your stay.

Honestly, I wouldn't be that concerned about the wear factor. I'd be more concerned about the comfort factor. You're going to get wear either way, so you might as well be comfortable while doing it.

I'm just wondering how many people (Average Joe/Jane) will ever use anything learned from these high dollar Special Tactic classes? Many of them seem to be a couple hundred bucks for a weekend class (not too bad), but I've seen some that would cost several hundred-$1000+. I can see going through them if needed for employment purposes, but not so much for a regualr guy. I also can't see much of these tactics really sticking with you in the long term. In a SHTF situation, something you learned in few hour class several years ago isn't likely going to cross your mind. Then again, I guess you could always set up barrels and fake walls in your back yard, so you can practice doing summer saults with a gun in your hand to keep your skills sharp. I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I don't see 99.99% of average people ever needing/using any such tactics.

No, I've never tried that. It does sound quite tempting, though. I've been on a diet, so a trip to O'Charley's is rare these days, but I'll be looking into the black and blue next time around.

True dat! I had more than my fair share last night. That, and the loaded potato soup are wonderful.

Hey, that's worked very well for the Hells Angels for all these years. They've used ball peen hammers to kill rival gang members for many years. No permit needed.

In my persoanl experiences, I've always noticed Kydex to be a little more wearing on the finishes. This doesn't mean I haven't noticed wear from using a leather holster, but Kydex has been noticeably worse. With that being said, more often that not, I prefer the comfort of many Kydex holsters over leather. This is especially true in the warmer months.

I've had the pleasure of shooting several 10mm's, and the best had to be the Fusion Custom (formed by Bob Serva, formally with Dan Wesson). Of course, the Fusion is quite a bit more expensive. A very close second would have to be the Colt Delta Elite. IMHO, it was much nicer than the Dan Wesson's I've shot. Not that the DW's were bad, but they didn't stand a chance against the CDE. The Kimber Eclipse Custom II wasn't bad either. The Colt, Kimber, and Dan Wesson can all be had for roughly the same amount of money, so it's going to be a matter of personal preference to your liking. If you really like the DW, I'd say go for it. But I wouldn;t count out other options in the same ballpark.

Even though only days old, this is somewhat old and almost useless news. Most or all of the online documents proving the ages of China's gymnasts have been removed. On top of that, the Chinese officials are saying these age reports are nothing more than simple mistakes. According to two scientists I saw on the news, it is basically impossible to determine exactly how old these girls really are. They would be able to figure it out down to a couple of years, but most of the girls in question are only a year or two shy of 16. It's just not exact enough.

Freaky! This will be great for our own military--Until some idiotic elected official decides it would be a great idea to sell/trade this technology to foreign militaries.

The fact that it's taking so long to get the gun back doesn't really come as a huge surprise to me. I had a gun stolen from my home in Overton County (Livingston, Tn), and it took over a year to get it back. Not only was the gun stolen from my home, but so was every piece of electronic equipment (TV's, VCRs, DVD players, Game systems, everything), tools, telephones, and kids unopened Christmas gifts. The scumbags even stole our 10 year old junky vacuum cleaner. It was my ex-girlfriends meth-head brother who stole everything while we were out of town for the Christmas holiday. The Overton County Sheriff's Office had the gun (and eveything else that was stolen) in their possession just a few days after being stolen. They made records of all the items, then called us to pick up our belongings. After loading everything up in our vehicles, I asked about my the gun my father had given me. I was informed that they could not give it back to me right then. I would have to wait a week or so. I didn't really get all that worked up over it. Well, after a full year of being without the gun my father had given me, "worked up" was beginning to be an understatement. I was quickly becoming quite pi$$ed. After bitching and moaning for several more weeks, I was finally able to come get it. I'm not going to go into all the details, but I know someone in the Bowling Green KY area who also had a gun stolen. It's been nearly 7 years, and he still doesn't have the gun in his possession. It's a real shame.

I'll be more than happy to allow you all the sleep/down time you need--Right after my upper is finished.

Well, I happen to like the Michael Moore documentaries, but this movie looks as if it may be pretty damn funny. I'll be watching it as well.

No, it was by hundredth. http://www.mlive.com/olympics/index.ssf/2008/08/phelps_wins_7th_gold_by_001_se.html

That would make perfect sense, but I have yet to see insurance rates go anywhere but up.

I just thought I'd ask around a bit. He's the type that will spend months researching berfore a purchase. I honestly haven't heard of them until we were talking about my AR build.

Oh. I'll tell him to forget about them, if that's the case.

Does anyone have any personal experience with them? Heard anything about them? My boss is interested in the 223 and 308 Win, but hasn't heard much about them.

This was taken from their website. They do serve beer, in many locations of the stadium.
