  1. Yes, I have on multiple AK's and Uzi's. Just kidding... but no really.

    Why 1911?

    No, but he did make a 1922 that IMO was a much better design!
  3. Your good, but seriously until someone is prosecuted for 922r I would put whatever you want on it and enjoy. The BATF has even admitted there's no way they can verify origin of parts.
  4. That I could understand. It probably comes from Pastors not wanting there members out of church during hunting season and so trying to start some sort of "religious" tradition for prohibiting it. I pastored a couple of church's in Arkansas that became ghost towns during hunting seasons! Good fishing weather had a similar effect but was more spread out. BTW - Sunday is just another day of the week. The Sabbath is Saturday.

    Why 1911?

    It's early and I'm at work and I have a lot of time to think. The question that comes to mind is - what is all the hullabaloo over 1911's? I mean compared to other guns on the market they seem to be inferior in almost every way. They are heavy, capacity isn't great, reliability is questionable (with out gunsmith work even on $$$$ customs), they aren't necessarily small, etc. I mean if a gun came on the market today with these issues they would be laughed into oblivion. So what gives? BTW - I still want one!
  6. Yes, you do. A lot of People i know keep the originals in a safe location and make copies they keep in their wallet or on them in some form or fashion.
  7. I really like Opera and Opera mini. I've been using them for years and have worked great. That being said, WAP is kinda of an obsolete technology. Most decent phones are fast enough and data speeds are fast enough to where manufactures would be stupid to not use a full web browser.
  8. +1:koolaid: Great guy to deal with.
  9. As much as I like my Dual Carry for IWB it has too much design compramise for serious OWB. The K&D is awesome!....except for the 14+ week wait! I had the Dakota Defender and loved it!
  10. Not to sound unsympathetic.... well I guess I'm not, but you made that choice. Take your 401k and roll it into a 403b and do what you want with the funds if you want control. Pensions are about the most unstable thing out there. Company goes away ... well, you get the point. Besides pensions, wellfare, Social Security, etc are all government approved Ponsi schemes. Some one is going to get royally screwed at some point. I am and will be self employed and it really iritates me when I hear all this whining about company pensions, retirement, insurance, etc. It is not a right it is an incentive to join a company and like any incentive the company can change or take it away anytime they want. Don't like it? Go work some where else, but don't blame the company for the choice you made. You make the choice in your best interest and the company will do the same. Would you feel sorry for a the company if you left without notice and they were left with a production hole to fill costing them money and resources? Doubt it. I can tell you no one except my family feels sorry for em when I have to work 80+ hours a week to make up for when an employee doesn't show up or quits. And I can guarantee you I don't get paid extra. Life is somewhat of a gamble my firend. It is just a matter of getting the most info you can and then making the best choice you can. If you are prudent it will usually work out for you and sometimes it won't.
  11. You really think the government who has run a Ponzi scheme that makes Madoff look like a beginner is going to start applying law to themselves? The law for government is a way to control opposition and not a tool to limit themselves.
  12. Actually it is not. You can remove the GS. Just do a search over on XDtalk.com as several guys have done it with no problems.
  13. Her opinions carry as much weight as her "facts" carry validity.
  14. +1 . Although fiction it is definitely spot on in essence.
  15. That's purty. I'm guessing your not going to be CCing!?
  16. We are actually coming out of a mini "ice age". The agrarian boom of Europe that led to the rise of the great civilizations were destroyed by this cooling. The period of the Dark Ages with their plagues and famine were a result. What is ironic is that warming is always better for humanity than cooling, yet the alarmist say warming will be the end of us. The great population growths and civilizations appeared in times of global warming. Don't forget these same scientist were wanting to put ash on the poles to melt them in the 70's because it was too cold!
  17. I believe I was told that if you held someone at gunpoint it was a big no no. He told us we could use it to initiate the arrest but should put it away (without letting the BG know) ASAP. Of course this was a casual off topic conversation we were having, killing time.
  18. You might want to check that. You can not forcible detain in a citizens arrest IIRC. Arresting powers and custody powers are different. Can somebody explain the difference. I'm going on what my limited LE and HCP classes mentioned.
  19. Nice gun! I had two XD9's before and really enjoyed them. The mag release works great when the mag is empty. East Side is a great shop.
  20. Uh, no. as a matter of fact it doesn't. same way Mexican citizens who have their babies here are not doesn't make their children Mexicans. You keep saying you don't like Obama but your defense of each and every criticism is telling.
  21. Police are private citizens/civilians. They are in NO way military. So any company or agency who says they only train LEO and not civilians/citizens are either self inflated egoist or ignorant.
  22. Very nice. CD's 1911's are Armscor with better finish. Very nice!
  23. Inauguration?! What inauguration?! Somebodies getting inaugurated? That's gotta hurt! (pun intended)
  24. Technically no he is not. He is President elect.
  25. Most say some sort of .22 rifle for portability ammo cost, ammo portability, and you can use it for anything from squirrels to deer. Personally that's what my AR is for. Well at least the since I don't have the AK anymore!
