Tis a sad day indeed. As you guys have said, all it takes is the "interpretation" of the federal law to change. I wish they could win this in court if it goes that far, but unfortunately I don't see it

[quote name="Hozzie" post="1124247" timestamp="1394755370"]I love this stereotype. Do many of us do ok finanically, sure. I think you will find that many of us are as discriminating as anyone when it comes to guns and ammo. The people that are buying the ammo at this price aren't "gun" people. They are simply people who have a gun and may happen to have a little more money (or not). It's the same in Franklin, Nashville, Knoxville, or anywhere else. By this standard, everyone who lives in or near Memphis is a drug dealing murderer.[/quote] So you hate the stereotype, yet in the next breath you confirm it. Is it a stereotype if it's true?

[quote name="Garufa" post="1124225" timestamp="1394749615"]Isn't the Franklin/Brentwood area the type where consumers generally throw money around without asking questions? I'm no expert on Middle TN but was always under that impression.[/quote] It is exactly that for the most part. I'm sure they'll have no trouble moving this overpriced crap, and it makes me sick

Dave, I'm not sure who you're talking about, but I hope you can understand the difference between believing he was innocent and "supporting" him. I believed he was innocent from the beginning, but I've never waved a flag for him. I hope you and others understand a person can believe in his innocence and not have any other connection to the guy, because from reading your posts you don't. Simply because you believe he was innocent does not mean you approve of everything he does

[quote name="TankerHC" post="1123655" timestamp="1394651218"] The jury has spoken, that should be the end of it. But Zimmerman wont go away. [/quote] Oh I agree, if he had one witt about him he'd just fade into the background, but every time there's a post about him there's still people trying to prove he's guilty

It amazes me that there are still those of you that would like to argue details of the case even after all the evidence has been submitted and reviewed

Didn't you JUST have one of these threads where you let the flip of a coin decide?

[quote name="satalac" post="1123426" timestamp="1394596552"]So what's your excuse?Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk[/quote] I've never interjected my personal feelings about the case into this thread as you have, rather tried to get you to move on from doing so. I'm sorry, your "I know you are but what am I?" is invalid. Great intellectual conversation this has been, though. I'm sure everyone else that reads it will be as disinterested as I have been

[quote name="satalac" post="1123419" timestamp="1394595719"]Oh that's rich. I think one shouldn't follow strangers at night, yet I'm the one without common sense. And calling someone Jr? Seriously? And if this isn't the thread to debate this, maybe you should take your own advice?Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk[/quote] You're the one that still can't see that your opinion on "following someone" and your need to interject it (and repeat it, at that) has diddly to do with this thread and the OP.

[quote name="satalac" post="1123417" timestamp="1394594929"]Yeah, I'm wrong. Hey, want to go to a bad part of town and follow strangers around and see what happens? Sound like a good idea? Come on, found innocent or not, this was preventable if Zimmerman just used common sense and left policing to the police. But keep sticking up for him, it makes us gun owners look like great people....Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk[/quote] Trust me, I don't need to "take up for him", the facts of the case obviously proved his innocence. It's people like you that keep harping on the could haves and should haves long after the verdict that show a true lack of common sense. There were plenty of threads to debate the case, this isn't one of them, Jr. Take it elsewhere

I have a airsoft 1911 I use to "deter" the neighbor's loud pests at night, does that count?

[quote name="satalac" post="1123403" timestamp="1394593389"]This is despicable. Famous for killing someone he shouldn't have been following with in the first place. Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk[/quote] Oh me. The details of the case he was found innocent of have zero to do with this thread. I mean...I could say "famous for killing someone who was beating his brains in" couldn't I? Let it go people, Jesus

That's an awesome find...but when I read the title I thought to myself "Your buddy found a shed in his back yard that he didn't know about, what the heck?" Lol

[quote name="that_guy" post="1122824" timestamp="1394482992"]ummm...bad experiences with Kimber don't make me feel very comfortable..... Anyone ever had bad experiences with Beretta?[/quote] You can hear bad experiences about every company if you listen long enough man. I consider Glock the most dependable brand of firearm made based on personal experience but if you look you'll see people that have had problems from theirs. ANY gun will fail if ran hard and long enough, I don't care how much money you spend. As James Yeager says, if you have a gun that hasn't malfunctioned, you have ran it hard enough

To me, and I don't mean this offensively to anyone that likes fine, pretty weapons....I see it like this. A Kimber is something my wife would love. They're pretty, and fancy. She doesn't care that it may not be the best gun in the category for the money, she knows it looks great and it's popular, so she'll like it. To me, guns are utility items. Even my "nice" guns wouldn't be pretty by most standards. If a gun doesn't work twice as good as what it looks, I'm not interested. I guess that may be why I'm primarily a Glock guy, they work 10x better than they look lol

[quote name="that_guy" post="1122572" timestamp="1394424204"]What kind of bad experiences have you had with KImber. Just wondering, will you share your experience(s) with them please?[/quote] Sure, I don't like companies that blame extraction problems on a"break in period", I've owned pistols that required a break in period that never malfunctioned during that time. I sent the gun in and still had trouble afterward. There are problems that can be attributed to a break in period, extracting shouldn't be one. I won't go on into the whole ordeal with them simply because it was 2011 and from what I understand more recent customer service experiences have been overall better. I just know I have pistols I paid 1/3 the price of what I gave for the Kimber that I've been much happier with. Heck, I have a $105 Hipoint that has ran better. I may have had the dud, every company has them from time to time. I just know when I spend Kimber money I expect much more than what I got.

[quote name="that_guy" post="1122566" timestamp="1394423388"]I am sorry if i have pissed you off sir, but I believe I have adequately updated my question. And i thank you for your input.[/quote] Trust me, you've not pissed me off, i found it quite amusing. The pistols you listed are still two different animals, though. Beretta is what I would choose based on my less than impressive personal experiences with Kimber, and the fact that the Beretta you buy may very well be made here in TN

Surely you jest at "inferior quality". Even if you do, saying things like "just to piss people off" won't get you far around here If you want some sort of help, you might want to state what your purpose for this pistol will be. Are you going to carry it? Range gun? What? You've given us zero info to go on. If you truly want to talk about "inferior quality" you should buy a Hipoint...it will most likely run better than the Kimber you have your eye on.

Whut r u fellers talkin bout? Fotay calibah is da best! If youins caint carry wif da big dawgs u needs tah stay on da porch. That's what I hear when fanboys talk

As long as you like it, doesn't matter much what we think

[quote name="NashvilleStage" post="1118017" timestamp="1393608531"]Do you remember which thread that was? Getting some embroidered patches made wouldn't be all that expensive. Depending on the size & quantity, it looks like they would be in the $5-8 ballpark.[/quote] I'll do some digging here shortly. The discussion was on a pin vs. patch.

If you've seen some of the drop tests on GI vs. Magpul mags on reloads, the P-mags usually fair a lot better. You wouldn't think so, but they do. I've got a mix of both, but I like the Magpul stuff better, for no good reason

I know we've had the discussion regarding a Velcro patch before and the thread died.

I have to carry too much as is when we go shoot, another bag would be no bueno for me. Now a patch to go on my existing bag , I could do. I nearly always have my range bag, 2 ammo cans, and up to 4 or 5 rifle bags/cases. That being said, I really like my range bag. I never really bought into the idea until a couple years ago when I got a $50 one from Midway, I love that thing

[quote name="tnguy" post="1117261" timestamp="1393465281"]Quite a few places already. Some of the big names: tigerdirect.com playboy.com overstock.com Virgin Galactic Lamborghini Many places (including Amazon) via gyft.com (gift cards). Plus many smaller retailers.[/quote] Ah, I see. Perhaps I just missed it before, it has to be an agreed upon form of payment from individual companies, no forms of converting it to USD or the like. So to most people it's more nest egg (loosely used) until it's a more widely accepted form of payment, correct?
