First I've heard about QuickDraw Nashville.   Newly opened by a former Navy Reservist, QuickDraw Nashville is an indoor virtual gun range where civilians and law enforcement can train on virtual firearm training simulators, manufactured by Meggitt Training Systems, just like the ones law enforcement organizations around the country use to train.   With 380 different scenarios from terrorists on an airplane to gunmen in a mall, and even zombies – and and 4,500 different outcomes of those scenarios – shooters can train to learn how to better defend themselves and take out the bad guys without harming innocent bystanders, expending ammunition or wearing heavy protection.   “It is very realistic,” says a local law enforcement officer who has used the simulators. “It puts you in those scenarios and it makes you think about things you wouldn’t ordinarily think about because of your adrenaline, not having had that experience or been in that scenario. You can talk about it and figure out what you would do differently in shoot/don’t shoot situations.”   QuickDraw has three simulation rooms available for 30-minute sessions, outfitted with modified handguns, M-16s and a 12-gauge shotgun.   Thirty-minute sessions will run $20, with target-practice only sessions at $20 per hour.   Rates for memberships and organization team-building events are also available.   Practice at QuickDraw and Save Your Ammo!   http://www.nashville.com/news/nashville-business-news/virtual-gun-range-in-brentwood-attracting-all-types-of-customers

I drive for a living, and if I decided to interact with every dumbass who can't drive with a lick of sense, I'd never get any work done. I have long learned to ignore it. If I see something obscenely crazy, I have been known to dial *THP.    Under no circumstances should you "brake check" someone who's following too close. You're just asking for trouble, especially if the driver behind you cannot react fast enough to prevent an accident at 75 MPH.    I'm not sure what you expected to accomplish by pulling along side the other driver. If anything, you created a more dangerous situation for not only yourself, but everyone else on the Interstate. It's simply not worth it. 

I may take you up on that offer, because I know almost zero about about reloading.

I'm a huge fan of AIC. While it was sad to get an up close look at the deterioration of Layne Staley at the hands of his heroin abuse, the stripped down accoustic MTV Unplugged concert is my favorite.   [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wwEVKBYsLY[/media]   

Congratulations! Once this 300 Blackout is built, I'm gonna have to start looking into reloading. 

http://www.concealednation.org/2013/11/rumored-glock-42-to-be-unveiled-in-january-2014/ UPDATE According to some FFL dealers, they have been seeing new Glock models listed in the inventory of distributors, and that Glock plans to unveil a new gun (or guns) at SHOT SHOW in January. We found the information below here, from forum user shooter521: I was doing some ordering for the shop this evening, and found that the new models are already in our distributor’s system. Very little information is available (and no pics or description), but what is there allows us to make some inferences. They are listed under “handguns,” so no Glock Carbine (big surprise) One model will be the Glock 41. SKU numbers are PG4130101 and PG4130103, which indicate adjustable sights, and a low-cap and hi-cap version. The Glock 41 is more expensive than any of Glock’s other pistols to date; based on the wholesale cost I’m seeing, street price will be $779.95 at my shop. Given that, my official guess is that the new Glock Model 41 is going to be an optics-ready, competition-oriented pistol to compete with the S&W M&P CORE and FNH-USA FNX-45 Tactical. The other model will be the Glock 42. SKU number is UI4250201, which indicates US-made, fixed sights and a low-capacity (10 or less) magazine. Wholesale price on this is only slightly above the Gen3 models, so street price should be $539.95. I think this is a new single stack .380 or 9mm of some sort. Original Article Is it a rumor? If not, what could it be? Speculations are flying around the gun community as to the validity of this flyer. According to the image below, Glock is set to introduce a new line of pistols early next year. The main assumptions are either a single-stack 9mm or a .380 (.380 is unlikely, since they already have this line for law enforcement only). A .380 MAY be likely if they’re manufactured in the USA. Glock releases in sequence, so if a G42 is in the works, we’d imagine a G41 and G40 would also be available shortly after. It’s all speculation at this point. I, for one, wouldn’t mind a compact single-stack 9mm Glock.

I've been hearing a lot of 3D printer commercials on 99.7 FM. If I'm not mistaken, the advertiser is NovaCopy. The ad is directed at parents, telling them what a great idea it is to buy their children a Cube 3D printer. A quick Google search indicates the basic model sells for roughly $1300. 

Thank you kindly, Sir. 

I hope Forbes is wrong about Best Buy, but I wouldn't at all be surprised. First of all, their brick and mortar stores are far too big. If they would give up on the exercise equipment and appliances, only focusing on items you'd expect to see in an electronics store, they could cut their square footage nearly in half.    Then there's probably the biggest problem; online retailers. I think they are a bigger problem than even Wal-Mart. While Wal-Mart is difficult to beat where price is concerned, you could fit their electronics section inside of Best Buys bathroom. Best Buy is quickly becoming little more than a showroom for every other online retailers. Even being a Best Buy Elite Plus member, I am guilty of using Best Buy to put my hands on an item, only to buy it cheaper somewhere else. I am probably more loyal to Best Buy than any other store, period. But sometimes the online savings are just to great to pass up. If/When the Best Buy stores are no longer, I'll be the first one to kick myself in the ass. I love that place. With any luck, maybe they can become the Amazon of the electronics industry. Time will tell.

But I don't think those have velcro knee pads.

Crye Precision G3 combat pants?

You are correct. But they were the first thing that came to mind.

Those women probably have no clue that they likely aren't getting such a great deal on that cookware.    Some years ago, we purchased a rather nice large set of Paula Deen cookware from a store that I can't remember. It was heavy stainless with a thick copper bottom. I don't recall the exact price, but I know it was several-hundred dollars. Shortly after that, a friend and his wife were over, and they loved the set. A few days later he called to brag about how he just purchased his wife the same exact set from Wal-Mart for less than half the price. Needless to say, I was a little perturbed that I didn't shop around before dropping that kind of coinage.  About 2 or 3 weeks later, we were invited to dinner. He just couldn't wait to rub in the fact that he got a much better deal that I did. From across the kitchen, they appear to in fact be the very same set. But as soon as I picked up one of the pans, it became quite obvious they were not. While the looked the same from a distance, once you picked up a piece for a closer inspection, the quality was not the same. The stainless steel was much thinner than mine. The copper bottom was roughly 2/3 thinner than mine. Even the handle was of cheaper quality, and not attached nearly as well as mine.  I mentioned this to a friend who's a long-time employee of Wal-Mart, and he informed me that many items found at Wal-Mart are made more cheaply made that the same item you may find at other retailers. This is obviously to allow Wal-Mart to keep their prices lower. This does not happen with every item sold at Wal-Mart, but it does happen with some. 

For the record, my girlfriend had to stop at Wal-Mart around 10:00 this morning. She said the place was dead. She walked right in, got what she wanted, and checked out in less than 10 minutes.

My first was also my last. Never again. There are so many great deals to be had online, and they will only get better with each passing year. More and more people are buying online these days, and retailers are quickly realizing they are competing with the likes of Amazon.  As a Best Buy Elite Plus member, there were some pretty amazing deals to be had, never needing to leave the comfort of my desk chair. Some of those deals were inline with a few of the so-called "Doorbusters" seen at the physical retail locations. 

I just stumbled upon this while browsing the web. Thought it was kinda neat. Not cheap, but neat. Lockdown Flor-Bordz from Convict Custom Cycles

TGO's feedback system is similar to the system used by eBay and other websites. He, acting as the buyer, didn't hold up to his end of the deal. This resulted in a negative feedback from me. I, acting as the seller, did everything in my power to ensure the transaction went smoothly. He had zero reason to leave me a negative feedback, other than to "get even" for him receiving a negative feedback.

Way back in May, I listed something in the TGO Trading Post for sale. At that time, TGO member acecool contacted me to purchase the item.   I am going to be honest, I don't recall what the item was (possibly R/C helicopter related), or even the exact events that took place around this ordeal. However, I felt the need to leave a negative feedback. I haven't felt the need to leave anyone else negative feedback, and it's something I try to avoid at almost all costs. For me to leave a negative feedback, I must have had a very good reason to do so.  The negative feedback left by me was as follows: Doesn't return calls. Doesn't call back when says he will. Left me hanging   While my recollection of the events are a bit fuzzy, for me to leave this feedback, he must have told me that he definitely wanted the item. I must have attempted to call him multiple times. He must have told me that he'd call back, then failed to do so. He must have left me hanging. If I left this negative feedback, he deserved it.   Fast forward to yesteday. acecool, a member with zero active posts or transactions, felt the need to leave me negative feedback, basically disputing my legitimate negative feedback of him. Due to the fact that I left feedback for him 6 months ago, yesterday may have been the first time he's visited TGO since May. That is pure speculation on my part, but why wait so long to dispute the feedback I left for him?   Anyway, I am sorry to bother you with this, but I would appreciate it if someone could remove the bogus (and only) negative feedback left for me.   Thank you in advance.

Welcome to TGO.

Your wife will be in our thoughts.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of TGO. While my girlfriend probably doesn't feel the same way, I am extremely thankful for TGO and its members. There isn't a better forum or bunch of guys and gals on the internet. I'd like to extend an extra-special Thank You to our service members who aren't able to be at home with their friends and family this Thanksgiving. As always, you will be in out hearts and thoughts. We are extremely thankful and grateful for your sacrifices.

The uppers will also have some sort of logo or reference to TGO on them

While there's no doubt I could benefit from a few of his Sweatin' To The Oldies DVD's, I feel bad for the guy. He's been a huge inspiration to so many, yet he's felt the need to stay in the closet. 

While Michelle is out there promoting healthier eating, while her husband is signing bills, like the "Monsanto Protection Act".

I'm still debating between the Gunfighter and the Raptor.
