That's about a complete and clear as it gets!

WOW, Holy Avitar Batman! That has to be the funniest thing I've seen in a while! Back on topic, is it still an HCP?

This is what I hate about news. The headline is totally misleading. Makes you think some kids are having a snowball fight and some Fife type pulls his gun on them. Turns out global warming protesters are having a snowball fight and the cop is responding to a "armed man" call who turns out to be an undercover detective. Why couldn't they have centered on the irony of Global warming protesters involved in a snowball fight?

Well, sort of. If you have a HCP you can carry a loaded, but not chambered long gun in your vehicle without restriction.

So when I moved to Nashville and was inquiring about HCP I naively made the mistake of asking can I carry long guns/shotties with a HCP? To which I usually got the smart Alec response, "It's called a HANDGUN permit for a reason!" So to all those helpful folks out there, now that we can carry long guns/shotties is our permit now referred to as a Weapons Carry Permit or what? Just saying.

What would Patton think? We complain so much because we have so much. Ironic isn't it. The more we are blessed the more we think we should be. Makes me think of the question I was asked by a 16 yr. old kid in Kenya. He first was astonished to find out we had prisons and crime and then asked, "Why would there be thieves when everyone has so much?"

Might want to watch the video that was posted.

I've been watching them for a while and CDNN has the version without the scope for under 1k now! I would like a 6.8 version. Steyr is supposed to be making the original AUG available sometime soon as well. Could help drive prices down a bit.

Sad to say a lot of this stuff seems to be drug related. I remember seeing her a couple years back and she looked awful thin. Like druggy thin. Really sad. You would think we would have learned from the 60's, 70's, 80's...... Really sad.

Get one of the Ghost 3.5 triggers and don't worry about it. 3.5 Ultimate Trigger Kit

No kidding, right? Seriously, I don't see 00 being as "dangerous" for wall penetration as 9mm or a .45. Think about it. If it can't at least go through a wall how in the world is it going to go through denim, a coat, or a heavy shirt and stop an intruder?

Might want to edit the title. I was confused to say the least.

As one who has wondered in the desert, just remember that God only gets us from captivity to the promised land by taking us through the desert. It strips us down so that He can be build us up in preparation for the blessings ahead. It is good to hear your heart. The length of our time in the desert is often related to the length of time it takes to strip us down. Stay focused James. Praying for you brother. Amongst others here who have been in those shoes, remember you're in good company in your ordeal. Think of Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Moses, David, Elijah, Jonah, Gideon, Paul, Peter, .................

Not a problem. I was just hoping you were ok. Hang in there. We all been there at one time or another..... some of us more than once!

Well, guys I work with are gun nuts and for Christmas gave me a gift card! Needing a new shotty, I picked up a H&R Pardner Pump from Dicks today. From what I've read, H&R has the same parent company as Remington and the Pardner is a nearly identical copy of the 870. All parts are interchangeable, except barrels, but you can pick those up from H&R for around $50 after shipping. I've had a couple 870's and I can't tell much difference. The receiver is unpolished but internally no machining marks or anything I didn't have with the 870's. Pretty good bargain that didn't cost me much. I'm happy. Will probably add a Knoxx Spec Opps stock, a side saddle, a mag extension, and some sights as time and money permit. When it's all said and done I don't plan on having more than $300 in a fully decked out shotty! Not bad IMO. Anyone know of any ghost ring sights that will work with a top rail? It is drilled and tapped already. (Sorry for cell phone pics.)

Looks good. I'd like to get one of these when funds come available.

No he jumped out of that. I had some insurance business with him and then he disappeared. From what I gathered he was doing some overnight stuff and just got busy. I've tried to e-mail and call him but can't get a hold of him. He is a great guy. I too hope all is well with him.

Don't let one guys stupidity ruin your opinion of the whole. The main negative guy in this thread is known for this kinda junk.

Welcome. Where in NM are you? Went to grade/high school at SBEC in Southhaven and my parents escaped Shelby County to Olive Branch after I went to college.

Man that's really sad. He seemed to be turning things around. Why these guys can't figure out how to control themselves is beyond me.

Evidently you haven't grasped the concept of smilies.

Enjoy! I just want to thank all of you for your e-mails over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery. I no longer open a public bathroom door without using a paper towel or have them put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel. I can't use the remote in a hotel room because I don't know what the last person was doing while flipping through the adult movie channels. I can't sit down on the hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed. I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving because the number one pastime while driving alone is picking ones nose (although cell phone usage may be taking the number one spot). Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I can only imagine how many gallons of Trans fats I have consumed over the years. I can't touch any woman's purse for fear she has placed it on the floor of a public bathroom. I MUST SEND MY SPECIAL THANKS to whoever sent me the one about poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing. ALSO, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason. I no longer have any savings because I gave themto a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time. I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program. I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St.Theresa's Novena has granted my every wish. I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers... I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day. THANKS TO YOU I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes. BECAUSE OF YOUR CONCERN, I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains. I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping gas. I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put 'Under God' on their cans. I no longer use Saran Wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer. AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face.. Disfiguring me for life. I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS. I no longer go to shopping malls because some-one will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me. I no longer receive packages from UPS or Fed Ex since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise. I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops or the Salvation Army. I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda , Singapore and Uzbekistan .... I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe. THANKS TO YOU I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my butt. AND THANKS TO YOUR GREAT ADVICE I can't ever pick up $5.00 dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg. I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain gas companies! I can't do any gardening because I'm afraid I'll get bitten by the brown recluse and my hand will fall off. AndI now keep my toothbrush in the living room, because water splashes over 6 ft. out of the commode. If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician... Oh, by the way... A German scientist from Argentina , after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mail with their hand on the mouse... Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late.

Eh, some folks have been saying that since before the caliber came out. Some just don't know, and some think they know. Military adoption is not what is driving the round anymore than the 6.5 Grendel. I'd say you are fine. If what he said was true, fewer manufacturers would be building these. As it is all the majors and most of the specialty guys have them in their lineup.

What's the deal with all these huge bucks this year? Must be global warming!

After having several XD's, Glocks, etc. I have to say I really like the XD's. The high bore axis is my nemesis though. Now if they could only get the 3.8 barrel with a slightly abbreviated grip they would be hard to beat for a carry gun.
