GlockSpock

Sorry, I had to! /Back to original purpose of this thread.

  I found that by searching for it, it is just interesting to me that they list their account as being in Cleveland, TN. Then again, I have never actually used GunBroker, so maybe there is a reason for that.

A few months ago when I went to TNGIC (TN Geographic Information Council) in Dixon, there was a student for 4H that had done a map showing hog damage by county for the entire state of TN. It was interesting; I had no idea there was such a problem with them until I saw that.

Here is mine: I bought it a couple weeks ago off Gunbroker. It's not a typical Glock, it's their Professional Line, noted as "GL23PL, or PL23 for short. It's now my daily carry. I like it because with the included holster, you are guaranteed not to shoot yourself if it discharges negligently because of where it is pointed when holstered. And trust me, it discharges negligently a lot. It's worth it though because not only do these discharges replace my CW badge (because I no longer have to display that I have a gun when everyone can just hear rounds popping off in the distance while I am walking), but it also looks different too when I have to toss it to the ground shortly before being tackled to the pavement by the LEO's I now know by name. Top of its class though. Top of its class!

I don't know the first thing about Civil War firearms, so I cannot contribute in any way to this thread, but what caught my attention was that the seller is listed as being in Cleveland, TN. I cannot think of who "PHCWarehouse would be in Cleveland. Any ideas anyone?

The least he could have done was use a HighLighter:   http://cli.ps/wn3CB

I've done some patent searching. I couldn't find anything remotely what I'm interested in, but Googling my idea showed me some stuff that is essentially the same idea, I just feel it can be done much more efficiently and an aspect of modularity could easily be added. Everyone loves modular things, right?

  So what you are essentially saying is (unless someone came up with a revolutionary idea, such as a way to fuel a car from used soda cans), skip the patent, go straight to prototyping and funding, and then start selling?

I have an idea of a gun related product that I would like to see manufactured but currently don't. Therefore, I have designed it myself. However, I am curious (intimidated) about patent information. I am far from revealing what the idea is. Honestly, I don't yet know if it is even something you could patent. In a nutshell, here is something I wonder about:   Lets say you have item A (in this case we will use a common everyday mug). Then you have item B (in this case we will use a carry handle from an AR-15). If you take A and combine it with B, can you patent it? This example is exactly what Joe (Bimmerfreak) has done with his BattleMug.   My conundrum (that I wonder about) is that my idea exists in a certain form on the market. Yet, my idea is exact specifications that would make item A work perfectly with items B and possibly C/D/Etc. Item A can already work with items B-Etc. However, my idea makes all of them play nice and efficiently.   I just wonder about things such as this, and whether they can be patented. Also, if it isn't something that can be patented, I suppose it could still be manufactured as long as it isn't violating other patents, right?   Ultimately, after my idea is "mine" and no one can steal it, I will probably use "Kickstarter" to propagate and fund it. There are a lot of specifics that I would like to discuss on here about it, but I still want it "mine" first. After that, perhaps I can gather input about what you all would like specifically. Hopefully this can work, but I have no experience in this field but have always wanted to "invent" something. Any input will be very greatly appreciated!

I'd say it would be ironic if say a, completely random of course, group of guys came in their and started confronting the male members of the church aggressively. If they do not fight back, at least they practice what they preach. If they fight back, we the group of guys call them out on fighting back when they speak against stand your ground.

My guess is a 10/22 Magnum?

My wife and I are considering getting some bikes. They will be mainly used for recreation/exercise. I think a pair of mountain bikes would probably serve us the best. We plan on riding them on the greenway in Cleveland, but would also like the ability to take them off-road (whereas you typically couldn't with a road bike).   Neither of us know much about the different brands and styles, but I am interested in purchasing something that is a good combination of price/durability. I want something that will last, but not if it costs $2000. Price range is probably $200-$400 each, and if something is available towards the lower end of that range, the better!   For each "hobby" there is typically a product that most can agree with is a well built classic standard. For reloading that might be the Lee Classic, for .22 rifles it might be the 10/22, for "sporting arms" it might be the AR-15. What would the class standard be for a mountain bike?

I was actually just looking at these myself. I've always heard great things about them. I just want them all!

  Ha! I was trying to figure out how a 50 MPH bicycle could win such a thing, but I understand now. Honestly though, I still think I'd take the one I linked to...I am going to request a price:)

http://gearhungry.com   It ranges from billionaire luxury items to really neat items that you could actually use that cost merely a few bucks. It has a lot of products I had never thought of until now. The one that got me was a lenscap adapter that fits in the bipod mount on your DSLR. Take your lenscap off, attach it to the bottom of the camera!   Something else interesting is the generator built onto your bike that charges your phone:   http://gearhungry.com/2013/05/siva-cycle-atom.html   I'm thinking something like this and a large capacity iPod Touch/iPhone would be indispensable in SHTF. Neat alternative to solar for mobile devices!  

I've done it before (for technology related things), and currently run a few sites for a few friends. I am thinking something along the lines of a "cash and carry" website, where I give insight and tips for carrying a firearm (all related things to guns), and tips for saving money (in all aspects of life).    I was wanting www.cashandcarry.com, but it is taken!   Anyone on here have any suggestions for a domain name (that isn't taken)?    I'm excited about this idea...I just have roughly a $12 roadblock to starting it because I cannot think of a domain! So shoot all sorts of ideas!

Isn't this a great instance to use some of the Aguila Colibri and a bolt rifle or revolver?

For anyone that may be interested in purchasing this program, keep this in mind, I just received an email stating that the $39.99 sale ends Monday. So you only have a little bit more time that you can purchase it for $33.99! Then the cheapest you can get it will be $54:(  

  So you were able to easily use the rebate and the code to get it to $33.99? I thought that you could, but it just required hitting the right combination of buttons in the process of purchasing it:)

Just another update:   Today I finally built up a full month's "buffer" in my checking account. This means I can successfully live on last months income, every month. For the two paychecks I received this month, I marked them as income for next month. Thus, I was able to budget for the entire month of August using the two paychecks I have earned this month. For the three paychecks I will receive in August, I will mark them as income available for September, and then budget September with those three paychecks.    This is as stress free as I have ever budgeted, because today I reached a point in which I no longer have to "shuffle" bills back and forth against future paychecks until I can figure out what combination works best for me. Now I simple pay bills when I get them, and actually have 80% of them or so setup on auto payment (which I never trusted, but now that I have a buffer I can fully trust it. Within the next week, I will have all my bills setup for auto payment. I will eventually get them set to all come out on the same day of the month, probably the 15th.   Now I get to create a Firearms category in YNAB. I'll use it as a broad category by which I put ammunition, firearms, accessories, etc in. :usa:   YNAB has easily "paid" for itself many times over by allowing me to very easily but strictly spend a calculated amount (which is of course less than I make). Perhaps it wouldn't have the same results for everyone, but for me it has greatly changed the way I do and view finances.   Has anyone else tried it? If so, has it made a difference in any significant ways? 

Reading things like this just leave me feeling violated.   :stunned:

Not a movie, but my wife and I have been watching Prison Break on Netflix. For anyone that hasn't watched it, it is a pretty intense show.   SPOILER ALERT:   During lunch we watched most of the 2nd to last episode of season 2. Kellerman was going to commit suicide with his 1911. However, the gun "jammed". It showed the hammer falling so really it was just a FTF. That part didn't bother me as much as what he said afterwards. He was talking to his sister about the incident, and said that it was the 2nd time a gun in his life had "jammed", the first was during training for the first Gulf War.   It was mainly the suggestion that "professionals" don't have issues as such, because they are good enough to prevent them.   Also, as this is a great show, I don't want to read any spoilers on here myself.

I know patents get in the way of all of this, but I would be a very happy person it Magpul would correctly make an AR-7. The current Henry Arms is close, but I am not quite satisfied with the polymer that the "stock" is made of. Magpul could pull it off. Mainly it is the way the "lid" attaches to the "stock".   If it were made of better polymer and had a more secure way of fastening closed, I'd go and buy one during lunch today!

NSFW for some language, however it is mainly NSFW because I crack up laughing uncontrollably when I watch them.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evr_tP9cJWY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqgSSAh8Cqs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY9hRZDZcf8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbnMws6973k
