I have seen it both ways however, statistics prove that the negative stuff that always gets thrown out there about social skills ect is largely leftist teacher union propaganda. You don't mess with the Union! Social Skills and Homeschooling: Myths and Facts - FamilyEducation.com

Seems the more "connected" we are with the world the less connected we are with each other.

They're as prone to breakage as Glocks are to shoot you in the rear and XD's are to break roll pins. That's a great deal and you should take it over the other pistols you were considering. If you do have an issue, S&W is one of the best to deal with. BTW - I've had 3 Glocks, 3 XD's, and 1 M&P and I liked them all, but I would have to go with the M&P over the others. The major benefits for me over Glocks are the ergo's and looks. Biggest benefit over the XD is the lower bore axis and size. There are other pro's but these were my main factors for choosing the M&P. The only thing Glock has on the others (IMO) is mag prices and shorter grip.

Hi-points have great reps as far as function.... they're just ugly as all get out! Seriously you got a great tool.

Lower bids, American made, better and varied safety options, more configurations (ie mag safety, external safety, ect.), and ergo's I would imagine.

All due respect I think you going a bit far. Yes I heard the song back in the day and yes my parents told me it was inappropriate but I seriously doubt anyone really meant they were going to actually shoot their teacher or took delight in a true death scenario. To take some drastic stand on that particular ditty would be the equivalent of what this school did to this poor kid. What he probably never though of in a serious manner or menacing manner he now will. I'd rather him enjoy his ignorant innocence of youth than deal with other grownups personal fears. Shoot all of our parents would be jacked up on Ritalin and in psychotherapy these days with all the cowboys and indians, cops and robbers, and Davey Crockett they played. Part of being a kid is learning about stuff they don't understand. I guess thats OK with liberals when they are exploring sex with Ken, Barbie, and Ken's friend Tom but not death and conflict with GI Joe. Maybe that's why they can make babies but not handle a bully. BTW - I also understand times are different for teachers and I understand your reaction, I'm just sad that that is where we are. We've taken their innocence and they are repaying in kind.

That video is designed to try and show people who are obviously breaking the law how not to get caught. That just rubs me the wrong way. I do agree with the not consenting to a search, but that video irritates me every time I see it.

Don't even have the words to describe my thoughts.:koolaid::(

You're not that old. Vest are fine unless they are photog vest or denim. I see one of those I know exactly what they are for. BTW I have been using a vest I got at Sam's this year that is awesome. Thing is WARM, not bulky, weather proof and covers very well. I doubt anyone think guns when they see that. I think whatever you use make it fit the rest of your look and it shouldn't stick out. When I have my bag and 3 kids and a pregnant wife, I'm pretty sure the assumption is it's a manly diaper bag. However, if your effeminate, go with the fanny pack! They'll just think your from San Fan. Best concealment ever!

It's not that big. They have different sizes, though. This one can carry quite a bit if you pack carefully, but mainly smaller things. It would be a perfect mini - BOB. You could fill it with smaller supplies ammo etc. The way it is laid out, you can fit a lot more in it than the actual size belies. I've never loaded it up. Just camera's and kid stuff (food clothes, diapers, ect) it can get pretty heavy. It is ideal for traveling IMO. I, especially like the water bottle pocket. You can get other pockets to strap on it as well. It is pretty modular. BTW it's a whole lot better than a diaper bag! I got 4 kids under 6! Haha! I know what you mean, but i don't think it is as out of place as a photog vest or fanny pack. As long as you don't stick military patches on the Velcro, it fits in with this generations fascination with shoulder bags etc. If you use the Maxpedition holster you can fit about anything in there, I would imagine. I carry a CZ P07 in it, but my buddies 5 in. 1911 will fit as well. If you try to use some other holster it may not fit. I tried using an Uncle Mikes nylon holster and it added too much bulk, especially length. It made it hard to zip close. I also carry two spare mags in Maxpedition's mag holder in the same compartment. It is very well laid out and thought out IMO.

If you bend it from a flat, yes. If you buy it already bent and treated no.

Building an AK is easy ..... if you have all the jigs, welding equipment, rivet tools etc. The easiest and best route is a Saiga conversion. If you want to go full out after that it will give you a lot of insight into what a full build would entail.

Yeah. Like right now I'm here at work and listening/watching to "What's Happing!". It makes it hard when I get home and try to watch normal TV. The commercials seem extremely long and interruptive.

Alternating between "The Office" and "What's Happening" on Hulu. I'm becoming a HUlu addict. At least it makes work go by faster!

Here's one where you don't have to drill into your frame. http://www.commandarms.com/product.asp?pID=131&cID=68

It may not be the Doctors decision anyway. A lot of them lease space in these complexes.

I asked that too and it means that they are "friends" in your profile.

Nothing.

No pictures.

Most products are cost based pricing, but luxury items are a little different. Jewelry for instance has the largest markup of just about any product. Here's why, if it is cheap it won't sell. When a jewelry store wants to move something they don't put it on sale, they bump the price until it's in demand. (This is coming from a regional fine jewelry manager of Macy's who is a personal friend) Think about it. Guns are similar. How many times do jokers here and especially on arf.com say something stupid like "you get what you pay for?" There is a psychological association with how much you spend and what you get. Think about the numerous fads in clothing we paid top dollar for in the day that you now pickup on clearance at TJ Maxx for next to nothing. The trick is to make it seem even. Then you can charge what you want.

Good idea, but I'd probably ask a local LE since they would be the ones enforcing the issue. IIRC you can be ticketed but not arrested unless you refuse to leave. Then it is a trespassing offense and not a weapons charge.

Yeah, I'm usually not that guy. I've always like the stuff he's done. Especially "Atilla".

If you can bench 7-10x your weight you are a super freak! Which in my case I can. I once almost joined a gang. They wanted me for my mad nunchuks skills.

Of course in that case it rolls off into the floor every time you hook up the "house" to move.

I find it interesting how these types of threads bring out all the seldom to never post guys. AR's are more "Accurate" for various reasons but mainly due to the round itself. In the same way the x39 is exponentially more powerful (in it's perspective range) due to the round. A kinda "it's strengths are also it's weakness" thing.
