I don't know if anyone else has though to check, but look at his other awesome auction!   http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=350689030

  Well, I'm not saying that he is always wrong, I think he may be right about some things. Maybe more than we would like to admit in some cases. Just be aware that he is pretty much the definition of tin foil. 

I suppose the question is what do you attempt to accomplish by prosecuting. Are we trying to punish negligence or deter negligence?    When I was a kid I was waiting in the car to go someone with my Dad. I thought it'd be cool to try and shift the gears in the car (key was in the ignition but was not started). I put it in neutral, and the vehicle started rolling backwards down the hill. By father caught on very quickly (he was inside but heard me yell). He caught up to the vehicle and managed to apply the brake. However, what if he was inside and could not hear me and the car rolled all the way down the hill. Now, it'd be a long shot but in certain scenarios either myself or someone else could have died. Should we punish father's who leave their 5 year old kids in the cars for 5 minutes before a trip in that scenario? Where do we draw the line between negligence that can be prosecuted and negligence that is considered an accident? Knives left on the counter? Bathtubs left unlocked? Toys that present choking hazards kept unlocked?   If you are trying to deter negligence, well if the thought of loosing a precious child does not cause someone to keep guns out of reach from their children, do you think that criminal actions would? Perhaps, but to me the though of a loved one accidentally dying because of my negligence is scarier than the though that I might serve jail time.   Also, charging an adult for leaving a gun out and a child dying isn't too far off from charging an adult for "allowing thieves access" to a gun in their house or car.

  But that isn't enough. After wrapping your body in tin foil you should technically wrap yourself in alternating layers of plastic wrap and more tin foil in order to create a Faraday like affect. Of course this won't work if you leave any gaps, so you must cover yourself completely.

Consider though what the cost of capital punishment could be in regard to imprisonment. I don't necessarily agree with all cases of capital punishment, but in those cases that we do use it, why prolong it so long? Take the very bottom most case:   Brooks went to a car lot under the pretense of wanting to test drive a car. A mechanic accompanied him on the drive. Brooks stopped to pick up a co-defendant. The mechanic was put in the trunk of the car. Brooks and his co-defendant went to a motel. The mechanic was brought out of the trunk and taken into a motel room. The mechanic was bound with coat hangers, gagged with adhesive tape, and shot in the head, causing his death. Brooks and the co-defendant fled the scene.     Accepted into death row on 4/25/1978, executed 12/07/1982.   Consider the cost of feeding and boarding him for a day and compare it to the cost of a 9mm ball cartridge. Which is cheaper? Funeral you ask? Who would be responsible for his funeral if Charlie Brooks, Jr had died accidentally in a car crash? Here Charlie Brooks, Jr, by the very looks of it, apparently planned 1st degree murder against someone. If anyone should pay for his funeral and the 9mm ball cartridge that takes his life, it should be anyone that cares to see him put into the ground vs cremated or the like.    It could be much, much cheaper.

I have heard of and am interested in GSSF. I've heard something about discounts after a certain amount of time. What other benefits are there to joining? I also notice that they can take the Glock armorer courses. That is something I am very interested in, but is it something worth obtaining (certification) for an everyday Joe (ok my name is actually not Joe).

  Well, they will work with most any Sprint phone (except iPhones). You can have your number ported to them for free (keeping your existing number). If you signup with that link above, you will get $25 off your phone order or your billing statement. If you already have a Sprint phone, it should be easy to try them. There are some issues with using a prepaid phone with them though, but they should be able to answer whether a certain phone will work if you provide the ESN.   Lets say I go crazy one month and use twice what I expect to (1000 minutes, 2000 texts). It would only be ~35. It really is a good deal, and since you get free roaming to Verizon you generally get as good of service as Verizon (although "roaming" can be "odd" at times. It isn't a full-proof experience).

Just for anyone that might be interested, I am extremely happy with Ting as as a "dumb phone" provider.   500 Minutes 1000 Text 0 Data <$25 a Month   I've contacted them on quite a few "issues (questions)", and their support has responded very quickly and solved all of them. I kept my same number from Verizon. They also provide free voice and text roaming to Verizon, and it simply takes away from your tier that you choose. Everyone should at least take a look and see what their bill would be for your selected usage. It's not for everyone, but I am 100%, 10/10/ 5/5, and two thumbs up satisfied.

Guido! I know him. His real name is Enrique...short for Eric. He isn't Mexican though.

I wish no harm on anyone, but I do wish that someone that is planning on doing harm to someone attempt to do it to her. That way she could use it to defend herself and her child, and then maybe the light would click and she'd join our side.   I doubt that it would "end well" if it were to happen.

  I've been wanting to get down there for IDPA, but I just haven't got around to it yet. I need to...I really need to.

To think someone was going to trade that Python for $100 gift card :rant:

I love the idea of the TruGlo TFO's, but I have my reservations about their construction and durability. I've read so many stories about the tubes falling out. If I knew that they would hold up, I'd probably go with them.   I suppose what I'll do is see what Trijicon says tomorrow regarding a replacement. That (money) may be the determining factor!

LOL. I was actually taking a look at their RMR's earlier today. I'd like to try one someday!

  Interesting. If you weren't in Nashville, I'd ask to take a look at them. I understand the benefit of having a wider open rear site, but the flip-side to that is it seems more difficult to me to center the front. I guess that's the different between defensive sights and target sights. I will certainly do some more research into them.

  I am interested in the HD's. What makes you like them so much, and have you any experience with the Bright & Tough line? 

Six months ago I went with the GL01's. Well I was shooting yesterday and doing mag change drills. When I do those, I place two rounds in each magazine, and see how quickly I can shoot those two rounds, drop the magazine, reload, and then get back on target. Well, after doing one of the reloads, I bring my gun back to get on target, and I'm missing a front sight!    Seriously. The front sight was gone. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but I didn't bump the sight on anything, I'm sure of that. I believe the bolt that holds the front sight to the slide broke (it seems awfully short now). My gunsmith (who installed the sights) seems to think this is what happened. I will be contacting Trijicon tomorrow.   However, my gunsmith also keeps pushing TFO's. Well, I order everything from Amazon, and he mostly knows that. So it isn't necessarily him trying to sell me the sights, but it is what he recommends. He showed me a G31 with the TFO's on it. They do indeed look very nice. However, I have always been a Trijcon fan. Yet the little bolt sent by Trijicon seemed to have failed when the gun heated. So I am considering purchasing the TFO's and then if I get a replacement from Trijicon, I can sell the GL01's for a few bucks.   But overall I feel Trijicon is better built than the TFO's. However that "feeling" is negated by the fact that the Trijicon's indeed broke!   What do you all think?

  I think we have sufficient evidence to suggest that nra37922 is from the future.

  We are staying in a place on W Jones St. Been several times before (wasn't old enough for a HCP at the time though). I reckon Savannah isn't bad, just gotta pay attention to your surroundings.     And the great thing is, gun buster signs don't mean anything in GA!     Good thing he wasn't armed I suppose or he may have been out a firearm. Reckon we'll be careful and pay attention, and otherwise enjoy the place.

Just ended up using my SAK to cut off 1" or so. Now it is just tall enough for the two CR123's to fit. Great price, great device!

I found these on a site called "Oscar Delta". They are nifty little devices. They ship from the UK, but I ended up paying $2.34 USD to buy one and have it shipped over here. I purchased it on 6/4/2013, and it got here today, so 9 days from the UK doesn't seem bad to me. The caps aren't "loose", but they don't resist being pulled off very well. I think some silicone, epoxy, or glue on one end to "seal it" would be good, and then maybe some electrical tape or one of those wide rubber bands on the other end to keep it fastened a bit better would be good. I bought my to carry two extra CR123's, and it seems it will fit that purpose fine. Honestly, it's just a peice of PVC pipe and two end fittings from somewhere, but for $2.34 shipped you cannot really go wrong. http://www.oscardelta.co.uk/Go_Tubes.html They sell a lot of neat stuff on their site, and they sell a "version" of the Go-Tube that is just two end caps, instead of one of the ends being for a keychain. It is called "Deep-Concealment", and I am not sure how much I wish to think about that.

I don't see what is wrong with this:

Consider this particular thread "finished".

I have decided to post it, here it is:   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/66644-cz-p-01-9mm-w-w-mags-holster-grips/     I didn't realize I had invested that much into the platform...it started out cheap!
