I didn't watch the video but just read the article. Just saying, even if cynical about it, he seems to realize that arming yourself against someone that wishes to do you harm is your best bet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

I did end up saying "No Reply". The main reason I did not wish to reply was just in case they are up to no good, perhaps they would ignore my number. Now they may add my number to a list of "valid" cell phone numbers and I may receive more calls/texts. In terms of a scam, the best I could see is that if someone took the bait, they would probably make some sort of claims of needing payment for the package to be released. I also dreamt up a scenario by which they "accidentally" sent a verry valuable package to you and will "pay" you money in order to ship it back to them. However the catch may be that you have to pay "FedEx" money in order to receive the package, when in reality you would be paying the scammer. Example: You have to pay FedEx $1000 to receive this very expensive package but we will send you $1500 for your time and troubles. So far I have received no response, but in this day and age no form of scam surprises me anymore. Just the first thoughts that popped into my head. Then again, equal chance it was just a wrong number. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Expecting a package, but it is being tracked via UPS and there is nothing in the text that alludes to it being anything I should plus be expecting. Never hear of them. I have tried Googling the number as well as the names, nothing concrete shows up. Package is being shipped from Mississippi. Probably wrong number, but equally probable it is a phishing scam or the like. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

First, let me just state that it is also possible someone just has the wrong number. However, I receive this message this morning:     Tracking number is an actual tracking number that can be tracked on the Fedex website. It shows delivery to Chattanooga, TN. I am unsure whether "Cleveland" is considered part of "Chattanooga, TN" on the Fedex system.   It reads like a scam to me, and to me I believe they could be finding real tracking numbers via the Fedex website (by guessing random numbers until they get one right). Once they find one, the look up area codes for that location, and then start texting random numbers until they get a response. I'd follow up on it, but since it is my phone number I don't want to keep receiving scam offers.   I contacted Fedex about the issue.   Any thoughts or information?

Oh the agony :panic:

Try this code:   http://www.harborfreight.com/20off-coupon912-aff-17560.html?utm_source=cj&utm_medium=aff&utm_campaign=wts-coupons&hftref=cj   Or this one:   Or this one:   Coupon Code: 65149244   They should give you 25% off.   $240?

  You can also probably do this:   http://www.harborfreight.com/20off-coupon912-aff-17560.html?utm_source=cj&utm_medium=aff&utm_campaign=wts-coupons&hftref=cj

When everyone speaks of the Harbor Freight tumbler, which one are you speaking of?   http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=tumbler   By the way, I found (and tried) this 25% off coupon for Harbor Freight.   Coupon Code: 65149244

To anyone getting the 1000Mb/s speed, run a Speedtest.net test and upload the screenshot here. EPB isn't available where I live, but I'd like to take a look!

Looks like they actually expire in a year, and should be able to pair a free shipping coupon in the future. Not bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

  Buyer's remorse I suppose. I wished I had taken the extra second to look at the fine print. Most of these "deals" on Groupon/LivingSocial/Gearhog have an expiration date several months to several years ahead. This one expires in two days. I cannot immediately think of anything I need that they sell on there, and due to the cost of shipping it nearly negates the "deal" in the first place. Amazon has cheaper pricing for 90% (76.5% of statistics are made up) of everything Brownells sells. If I had a few months to spend it I'd be more than happy. Could have found something today better to spend $20 on than that. But perhaps someone else will like it.   EDIT: Cancel all of that. It looks like they "edited" the ad so that it expires on 9/17/2014. If that is the case, I am satisfied.

100 Mbps (Mega bits per second)   1MB = 8Mb 1 BYTE = 8 bits 1 bit = One "1" or "0"   So...100Mbps (100Mb/s) = 12.5 MBps (12.5 MB/s)   I think I typed all that correctly.   It's subtle but it could save your life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iubJ-XSL9go

It is the equivalent of a $20 off coupon, but right now on Gearhog they are selling $40 gift cards for $20 to Brownells. I've purchased one to Midway before and it was a very pleasant experience.   http://www.gearhog.com/?did=66754&rf=661684   EDIT: Just purchased one, noticed that is "expires" on 9/20/2013. Unless that is a mistake, it expires in two days! The paid value ($20) never expires, but you only have a couple of days to spend the full ($40) value. Kinda sneaky, but it was in the fine print.   EDIT: Cancel all of that. It looks like they "edited" the ad so that it expires on 9/17/2014. If that is the case, I am satisfied.

Ordered one from Larue Tactical (cheaper shipping). I personally cannot wait to get this one! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

I just wish someone in Cleveland had one! If anyone does live near Cleveland and has one, PM me. I will probably end up ordering one tonight after I measure how long it should be, but I would like to give it a go if possible before I order just to verify everything will be alright.   Guess some things you just have to order yourself and give it a go.

I'll admit, these belts caught my eye while browsing Raven Concealment's website. I've read that they are quite stiff, and often times require removing the buckle in order to thread it through your pants.   I am interested in purchasing one, but see that there are several options. Does anyone have one, and if so, what do you like/dislike about it? I had a High Noon Holsters belt, but lost a lot of weight and stopped wearing it. I now use a Spec-Ops Brand Better BDU Belt, but feel like I could probably use a belt that offers more support. I'm hoping that the Ares Belts offer just that.   Please, give me some reviews and recommendations.

  Well, give me the list of reasons here and now! I've read up on some of it, it just seems to violate on of the rules of gun safety, that's all. I will probably give the VG2 a try. Thanks!

Reports saying two suspects "down". Eyewitness reports suggest 3 gunman, one wearing "military fatigues".

  My understanding of the VanGuard system is that (for Glocks) you can use it with most any model Glock? Get one for the G26 and use it with my G19 if I want? For concealing a small firearm such as a G26, I don't mind or care about the "extra" step of holstering. Besides that, would you consider it adequate for safety concerns? The trigger guard if completely covered, how's retention? Once it is in place on your belt, does it sit pretty stable?   I have no desire to AIWB. I understand that functionally speaking, it is just as safe as OWB or IWB on one of your sides. However, I am a firm believer of never pointing a firearm at something you don't want to destroy. It looks like to me that AIWB has the firearm pointing directly at your thigh area. Just the though of that makes me cringe. If I am wrong about AIWB please let me know.   Wish someone in Cleveland had a VG2 for a Glock, I'd love to take a look at one!

I have been and typically carry a Gen 3 Glock 19 in a Raven Concealment Holster: http://www.ravenconcealment.com/holsters/phantom-modular-holsters/phantom-light-compatible-holster   I carry attached a Surefire X300 Ultra. It's a great combination. However, as you can imagine, it is quite bulky IWB (I use the tuckable soft loops): http://www.ravenconcealment.com/accessories/iwb-modular-accessories/iwb-eclipse-modular-accessories-iwb-tuckable-soft-loops   Most of the time this is fine. If I am going into public for shopping or a friendly gathering, I typically will be wearing a button up or polo even in warmer weather.    However, I also try and go  on several 4-8 mile walks a week. Recently I have been compromising and placing my Gen 3 Glock 26 in my pocket. Since I don't (and have no reason to) feel comfortable in placing a Glock in my pocket with one in the chamber, I leave it chambered when I place it in my pocket. On a long walk, it is generally more comfortable with the G26 in my pocket than the larger G19 rig IWB.   However, I am now wishing to pickup either an IWB holster or some sort of pocket carry setup for the G26. For one thing, this really caught my eye: http://www.ravenconcealment.com/holsters/vanguard-holster-systems/vanguard-2-holster-full-kit   However, I've also seen the little "trigger blocks" for Glocks that go in your pocket and all sorts of other things. I'd like to know what all of you think about the most minimal ways to (safely) carry a Glock 26.

      New email? Why? Send something to that ad about how already purchased one but haven't received it yet. Ask if they will take care of you better!

Was looking at the local listings, and came across this:   http://www.gunlistings.org/tennessee-gun-classifieds/chattanooga/all/175717/gwinn_very_rare   Perhaps you have already seen one or perhaps already seen this one for sale, but I just found it as a very intriguing rifle and thought I would pass it along.

Went in there for the first time today. It is in the old Sears section of the Bradley Square Mall. Not a bad place. It reminds me of Dicks or Academy. Had probably 25+ black rifles and quite a bit of ammo at moderate pricing. Didn't find .22lr, but didn't look too hard either. I will probably still shop at a locally owned gun store, but in terms of chain sporting goods stores this is by far the best we have had in Cleveland. http://www.dunhamssports.com/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
