Oh Shoot

Were you the first owner? That is the question. - OS

Since XD's have fully supported chamber, they will withstand even very hot loads: - OS

Good thought!

You just wanna see FrankenTruck, admit it. - OS

You are eventually going to shoot your eye out with one of them thangs! - OS

Hey, some guns are MADE to shoot that way. Hi-Point, for example, eh? First thing I checked out with it: Then, there's East Tennessee Gansta: - OS

Best all around shooter gets the Prestigious Possum Award, a stuffed marsupial in full erect attack posture on an unfinished tulip poplar slab. (no tourney, all very informal) - OS

Heck yeah; I've never seen a used one for that! - OS

Keep in mind there ain't much civilian demand for experienced tank crew and field artillery. - OS

Oops...dupe somehow.

Yeah, I kinda like them too, even though there's not a lot of reasons to have one over an AR. But I'm pretty sure if I saw one new for under $500 I'd already have one. - OS

Sure. Wouldn't miss that ritual. - OS

Only ones I've seen there are well over $600, and that's the basic wood ranch rifle. - OS

Sounds like our young bud is getting a quite early start on joining up? Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Military Entrance Processing Station ?? Noon sounds fine to me, btw. - OS

I (and Mikey, AFAIK) will be there. I've got bottles of water to bring to blow up. What time are you appearing? - OS

I believe the mix up is that the previous changes in Dept. of Interior rules that briefly allowed carry in Nat'l Parks before the injunction, was concealed carry only. - OS

What exactly do YOU know now YOU didn't know then? I can't really think of much myself. If I look back at his campaign platform, looks like everything he's gone after are things he said he would. There are a lot of things he has NOT addressed yet, though. The no income tax for seniors making under $50K is one I'm particularly interested in, for example. - OS

Them blasphemous vegans are behind it ALL! - OS

Methinks the long term take is to get comfortable without ever being complacent. - OS

That's funny. Just to quell the mystery, the starchy individual in question was a TGO member who has been banned, and the sign in question was on his seller table at the show today. Even though it was recently stated here that I am his "good buddy", I actually was able, with another TGOer's help, to identify him for the first time today, though I did not engage him in conversation, TGO related or otherwise. - OS

Even though I've been around guns all my life, and have even, umm...carried some before carry was cool, I only really started daily carrying about 16 months ago - I admit I was somewhat touchy about carrying a semi-auto with one in the pipe, as had mostly owned wheel guns previously. But like many advise here, the first thing I did, before I even got permit, was cock the weapon withOUT one in chamber and carried it at home, day in day out, and sure enough, it never tripped the firing pin by itself! This was with a Kahr with of course no safety whatsoever. Practiced drawing and reholstering a lot, etc. It just never went off unless I pulled the trigger, just like everybody said. I now carry XD subbie, which has the saving grace of the grip safety, which makes reholstering a completely no stress event, too, but I didn't switch to the XD because of it. I mainly felt more comfy with more rounds. But the grip safety was a contributory factor, I must admit. But really really really, if you (of course hopefully not) ever NEED to fire your gun, then you need to FIRE it, and not indulge in some preliminary activity, even as quick as you THINK it might be to chamber a round first. Oh dear. Danger Will Robinson! - OS

Umm, haven't you answered your own question? - OS

First question on their FAQ page. - OS

Would you like to do that in a synagogue also, or are you able to limit your hatred of religions other than yours to only Islam? - OS

Well, if some of you guys will open carry enough around daycares, we'll probably get an official ruling, eh? - OS
