This is why you will always be a northerner. You seem to see the South through your own racist bigotry.

I have a Wilderness tactical and it is indeed comfortable, but also looks like a "tactical" belt. The Black hawk dress belts I've been using are excellent, fairly priced, and look like a normal belt. I can wear them for any occasion without worrying about looking like I want to be wearing a photog vest as well.

I had some on an XD before they had all the issues. They flat out work and work well. However, last I checked the company was dead in the water and a few other companies were waiting for the patents to expire so they could pick them up.

QC check. Each inspector has their own color.

Hey Mike! You know D&T has it and we have more coming!

Here is the right side. No billboard! Here are some pics of the relieved beaver tail. Looks nice IMO.

"The Art of War" by Tsun Tsu and "Shooting to Live" Sykes/Fairbairn are excellent. Everything else is based off these.

Very nice gun indeed. I'm getting more and more tempted to get a 1911.

This was meant to be tongue in cheek, but some folks get all worked up. If it doesn't apply ..... don't get upset. If it does ..... you've already replied

No confusion of the terms. I just think SOME of the self titled "liberatarians" here are confused on their philosophy. They seem to think that if you identify with anything other than what they believe you are part of the brainwashed masses. IMO this is no different than the liberals who are smarter than the rest of us. I don't think they realize they are just the right side of extreme left.

Why are Yankees in the South so concerned over their identity? Don't act stupid or try to bring the things that made you leave and your OK! If this keeps up they'll have to start adding a "Notherner" and "Southerner" to all official government forms. However, only "Northerner's" will have difficulty with the question!

What's with all the liberal defenders of late? Mention anything negative about Obama or the administration and all the so called "libertarians" denounce every criticism as non-thinking, brain washed, paranoid, propaganda eaters. Just saying. Yeah, I'm calling you out!

Here is a pic of my computer room. I have some work still to do and some new wall decorations I need to add, but so far it's a good start I think!

Welcome! What's a Gus and why do we need a shop for it? J/K Welcome! Those French need a good gun store!

What????? I'm not suggesting anything as a predictor. I'm saying that from what I have seen from TICS/TBI/FBI is that any violence related charges carry more denial weight than most other charges and for the reason you quoted above. How you got from A to X in that thought pattern is beyond me.

I don't know exactly what flags TICS, but almost all the denials we get usually involve misdemeanor assaults. At least according to what people tell us. They could be misrepresenting the charges, but it makes sense that any kind of assault, even on the juvenile record would be a denial. Could you imagine being the TBI official who has to explain in court why he approved a gun sale to a person with an assault on their record who was later involved in a larger crime?

Because of an assault on his record. The only way I could see that getting through TICS is with an expungement and even then he will still probably have to appeal denials. From his previous statements, I can't see anyway he has enough money to push an expungement or further legal maneuvers all the way through to the federal level. I'm sorry if I has hard on the OP, but the lesson needs to be learned that there are SERIOUS consequences to how one acts. The government and the law has very little mercy for "heat of the moment" actions. There are a lot of people who have reacted in the heat of the moment that never intended to kill or harm someone else yet it happens. Gun owners are held to a higher standard since they carry a larger responsibility. We know the rules. We have agreed to play by them. Whether they are Constitutional or not is irrelevant. Until the laws are changed that is the agreement we have chosen to live by.

The scenario was the one you painted. In a court of law or, any time in the future when they look at the paperwork, they will not care to sit down with you as you explain why the charges aren't as bad as they seem. Legally you will not be able to buy a firearm in the future in any case and that will not change. That's just the way it is. There are consequences for YOUR actions and when you got your HCP that should have been covered and listened to. There are cases where HCP holders are unfairly charged or have the law applied incorrectly. This is not one of those. If you want more legally advice in this arena you need to consult Leonard Embody.

So you brandished a gun during a verbal altercation, drove drunk, and agreed to the charges to have them reduced. Now you want all the consequences legally dropped. Interesting.... I'm thinking you are the very kind of person with poor judgment we DON'T want with permits. Also, you plea bargained the charges down and now want MORE "due process"? You get it once. Not twice. I'm thinking you should be thanking God they dropped the original charges and reduced the ones they carried.

After reading this thread maybe there are some people who shouldn't... carry for any reason. Seems like I had a similar arguemnt with my 7 yr old over bedtime last night.

Yeah, their site is one of the worst. Incredibly slow and you have to wait for their splash ads to clear before you can look for anything.

I'm really enjoying my Vstar 650 Classic right now, but i definitely see getting something a bit bigger for some longer trips with the wife. The 950 is one I'm looking at. If that's the same 950 they had at AMS on 8th then I sat on that thing this AM. Beautiful bike!

Jeff you are right. The front end work requires a big hydraulic press and other simple but special tools. However, it isn't really necessary. There are some adapters and other ways around the big tools, but IMO they don't look very good for the money you will have in it. That being said, Saiga's are still the BEST Ak you can get whether the front end is converted or not. I always did the conversion myself and then had Red Jacket convert the front end. He used to do it for $100 (I provided the parts).

We've (D&T Arms) sold a bunch of .458 SOCOM's and keep ammo for it in stock. If you are going the big bore route the 458 is the ticket. Rock River makes a production upper and stock parts, which is a big plus since the other options , ex. 50 Beowulf, are very hard to find. Personally I'm with Magic and the idea of a 6.5 really intrigues me. It does everything the .223 does except it does it a whole lot better and I like that Wolf makes ammo for it (cheaper target stuff).

Yeah, they aren't good about info. I have Cobra's on my 650 Classic and I like them. They are a little "slappy" at speed but part of that is the high rev engine. I'm told the V&H's are they way to go.
