Of course he did right the wrong on the perfected 1911..... the Hi-Power!

What good would that do? It takes several years to start seeing results and if some are and some aren't, it would double the time it would take to see any results.

I think he would argue that he was loosing everything he had (property) due to the issue at hand. It is a little in your face and antagonistic, but I can sorta see his point. The cops should have understood the time we live in and known that they are not going to win in a case like this. These days anything yo do is ok if you are using it to protest.

Yeah I have no problem with that. I just think managed hunting is good overall and stats back that up, especially for building herds. I'm not passionate about it either way as I hunt for meat and not so much trophies. For most guys who hunt where they live, restrictions are probably more negative than positive. However, there are enough "yankee" lease guys who want to feel like a country boy for a week or two that can really hurt a population in a area. Not intentionally, but because they don't know the local herds they don't know what they are thinning.

Dumb in that they will shoot anything with a nub and call it good. There has to be some mature bucks mating or the gene pool will be littered with weak genetics. If you have a bunch of juvi's running around doing the mating there may not be a herd the next season.

Only because there are enough dumb hunters out there who don't know how to help herds grow.

No there's a great legal mind at work. Under his interpretation anything that causes someone to complain is breaking the law.

We used to see a few in Arkansas and I was told that they are curiosities and they want them around for people to see. I don't think it's much more to it than that.

I've had a couple 19's and 3 XD9's and the 19's are easier to carry. The XD can be carried easily as well but it is heavier, thicker, and longer. The 19 is about the perfect size for a carry. Essentially a full size with just enough compactness to carry easily. The XD is a true "service" sized weapon and a very good one at that.

I'm talking about the barb wire and tribal tattoos. If it means something thats ones thing but mostly what I see are some college age folk who get the same old thing because it looks "cool".

+1. Also removing state restrictions would tremendously drop cost by opening up competition.

Do you need help with your mortgage? Maybe your car insurance? How about your groceries. Health insurance is not a necessity or right anymore than anything else. Not going after you OS;), but the problems aren't that people need help, it's that the system is so regulated it squeezes blood from a turnip. That and all the illegals and abusers in the system. There's no easy fix but the only real fix would be for the government to get their grubby hands off it. They are running it into the ground and then saying they are gonna rescue it with more interference! Why not they been successful with the Post office, social security, the auto industry, and soon the banking industry!

Tatoos are starting to get like jean jackets. They once were the sign of a cool rebellious youth doing his thing..... now if your wearing one your just a dork who still thinks the Fonz is cool amundo!

I'd go with the XDm 9mm. i just like the round better than the .40. As far as knock down power... if it doesn't knock you down when you shoot it, it's not going to know the other guy down. I like the cost, efficiency, and sheer round count in the XDm.

Sounds like a wise move. AK's will generally hold or go up in value while the FNP, as great as they are, will only go down.

Buds has them at $439 shipped, which would be under $500 with TICS and transfer.... Update - Scratch that. It just went back up to $494 + TICS and FFL.

As far as gloves go I can't say how impressed I was with the Ironclad gloves I was wearing when I went down. The are made for construction and are padded on the palms and very breathable. They indeed took most of my slide and look basically like they did before the wreck. You can get them at any hardware store. The parts that got the most damage were my legs and I had on dress pants that dissolved in the pavement. http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1275615&kw=gloves&lmdn=Brand&searchId=39546166893

For a first gun get a 9mm. It has all the "stopping power" you need with minimal recoil and cost. Meaning you can shoot it a lot more than .380, .40, or .45 for a lot longer. During that time you can get comfortable with shooting and devlope your skills. You may also find that you like it enough to stay in the 9mm platform as I have. In 9's the Ruger SR9, M&P9, XD, or even Glock 19 (not you typical Glock) are great choices and the can all be had new under $500 or used for even less. You can fund steel framed 9's like S&W 3rd gen for good bargains but I know nothing about them. As other have said stay away from .380. For the life of me I can't figure out why it has come back from the brink of death to find popularity. It's like all these yahoos overpaying for a "green" car that cost more and gives you an considerably less performance. It's live putting a 4 cylinder Geo Metro engine in a Camero.

When I got my FNP-9 it was $439 at CDNN and they generally are in the $450-$550 range. The market has kinda shifted and sales for everyone are starting to slow, especially in the AK/AR market. I'd say right now the trade is a toss up on value. The FNP is a fantastics DA/SA pistol. The AK will probably hold it's value better but you may have to hold on to it for while.

Gotta say I've never heard of them till now. Listening to some of their stuff I like the music, but the lead singer is awful! Sounds like he has a speech impediment and not one of those that make the song more interesting. Other than that they have a Black Crows feel to them.

Did you contact Kevin yet? He will make it right.

Everyone ask this question and the answers are always the same. Generally it is a personal preference to what will work for you. Things others love don't work for me and vice versa, but there are some common guidelines you can use. 1. OWB is generally more comfortable and less dependent on pant size, placement, and holster type than IWB. 2. IWB conceals better, but you have to adjust your pant sizes to accommodate the holster. 3. IWB is more holster specific. In other words finding just the right one may take a few extra try's. 4. A good belt makes a world of difference. Do a lot of reading. You will find that most guys report when they like a holster and giver pretty good reasons why.

The definition of liberal.

From what I have seen they do pretty much what they advertise. That being said, they are generally designed for specific situations and IMO aren't great all round performers. As others have said for a whole lot less I can get a whole lot more that will work in nearly every situation. To me it's kinda of an answer to a question that wasn't asked.

Only if you have a box!
