Really, that's how you read those? What God/god or basis of belief are you using to reconcile those oaths with your position?    BTW - I believe in God the way he tells me to in the Bible, not in a subjective however I choose to interpret His Word within my context or culture.

  Inconsistency in application of truth does not negate all truth Robert. Attacking Christians for inconsistency in morals is a red herring and you know it. The fact that some struggle in application of truth and morals in "grey" areas does not mean they have no voice when there are clear violations of their morals or beliefs in other areas.   Has anyone read the BSA Scout Oath? Scout Law? Venturing Oath or Venturing Law? Pretty sure you know those Robert and have agreed to dedicate your life to those principals, beliefs, and ideas. Who's inconsistent? Yes, they will have to be amended. ;) So, when I say they will have to fundamentally change their position and beliefs ...I am correct.   Scout Oath "On my honor, I will do my best, to do my duty, to God and my country, to obey the Scout Law, to help other people at all times, and to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight."   Scout Law "A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent."   The Venturing Oath As a Venturer, I promise to do my duty to God and help strengthen America, to help others, and to seek truth, fairness, and adventure in our world.   The Venturing Code As a Venturer, I believe that America's strength lies in our trust in God and in the courage, strength, and traditions of our people

You can only "game a system" when there is a game to play. The scenario's you describe are solely provided by the governments involvement. If those perameters were not there then their would be no "system to game". That is the problem with medicine and the the reason it will collapse.

  All people are welcome in the church but not all are welcome to join. Joining means you agree with and adhere to certain principles and moral stadards, otherwise you simply have a social group that has no point. Church is not about being perfect. It is however, about working towards that objective.   While homosexuals are free to worship and attend anywhere they may choose, they are not free to change fundamental beliefs or principals. It would be like a Muslim attending a Southern Baptist Church and then demanding they change their beliefs because they are offensive to him. Can't happen? It already is.   This whole thing about gays in the Boy Scouts has nothing to do with the boys who are members who may or may not be gay. IIRC sexuality is not a part of the BSA curriculum. It has to do with mandating that the organization allow leadership that contradicts its own principals and beliefs in order to fundamentally change core beliefs.   If there is that much demand for gay scouts then by all means start a gay scout group but quite trying to mandate that the BSA equivocate for a few.

I filed a dispute. Sorry again for linking this guy.

I bet that thing is rowdy!

Leviticus law plays out the differences between murder, killing, and manslaughter plainly with punishments that reflect the distinct differences. The Hebrews had no problem understanding the issues.   In other words Original Intent. The scriptures mean what they were meant to mean in the context of their time and the principle is timeless. The same as the Constitution. If you try to redefine the original intent within the context of the time you live and neglect the "bigger" principle you loose all authority, legitimacy, and truth.   Old Testament Law shows us our flaws and inadequacy as humans and the New Testament's Grace shows us God's forgiveness despite our failures as mankind. They are not mutually exclusive but rather the fullness of the Gospel. It is only in the attempted redefinition within ones own relativity or intentions that they seem confused.

Wow! This thread stil going? This is why I like the AK Pistol ...changing the barrel doesn't matter. ;) In all seriousness good work OS.   If the Monarch is using the same powder as the x39 rounds the Russians use, then it is a fast burning powder. Thus the reason the barrel length doesn't matter all that much. I don't reload so I don't know if that is possible or likely but seems plausible.

As a fellow M&P9 fan, I'm pretty sure you got every accessory that I like on those guns. :) The TFO's are awesome. Enjoy.

That is almost verbatim Axelrod's talking points www.jammiewf.com/2013/axelrod-obamas-couldnt-have-possibly-known-about-his-irs-scandal-because-the-government-is-too-big/

Good quality Jack booted response. Cops always say "How Am I supposed to know if he's a criminal?". The answer is easy. When he commits a crime, arrest him. your philosophy is why don't we just stop him and find out if he is committing a crime? Why don't we just pull over everybody in a vehicle on the street to find out if they are driving with a suspended license? Because they were responding to a call. They didn't initiate this only responded to one citizens complaint against another. As to why they didn't just observe and leave is because the leo would be assuming liability at that point on a personal level as well as for the city. Sued if they do sued if they don't, but if I'm the le I'm not hoping to allow anything I do to be pinned to me personally. I'll follow the book and let the city work it out. Stop the law suits and this wouldn't be such an issue. BTW - your not supposed to be able to sue for non damages, but I guess strict adherence to the law only works one way.

To each his own I guess. Not my flavor.

Come on guys. If they had just walked up on him and the following ensued, sure he has a case. They were called there by a report of a MWG and are compelled to clear the situation before they leave. Mr. Call's ire should be directed at the caller not the police.   Let's say they responded to the call by stating there is no law against OC and never investigated and it turns out Mr. Call had nefarious plan? I have a feeling at lot of the same voices here would be decrying the ineptitude of the PD and calling for resignations and disciplinary action.   PD was in a no win with this guy and did what they should have and what was necessary given the circumstances. Mr. Call could have mitigated the circumstances and been on his way. 

"Reckless inconvenience"? That a real charge?   In all seriousness Mr. Call must be related to Leonard Embody.   Yeah, I invoked it. :)

That sign only applies to people bringing in guns for work, trade, etc. It is not intended for HCP carriers. There are several discussions on this topic already. The store I work in has no problem with carrying, but we do ask that If you are going to unholster (checking holsters etc.) That you clear it outside before you bring it in. You wouldn't believe how many people have pulled out loaded guns and then asked if we had a holster to fit it. Almost daily. You'd also be surprised how many guns I've cleared with rounds in the chamber and mags that were "not loaded". All guns are always loaded.;)

When I had my motorcycle wreck the LEO asked if I wanted him to take it or if I wanted to take it with me to the hospital. Kinda got the feeling he was encouraging me to keep it with me. The EMT's had no problem with me keeping my gun in my bag with my other belongings. At the hospital they asked if I wanted to check it in to at the security desk or keep it on my person. I thought it was pretty cool of everybody involved and pleasantly surprising. This was downtown Nashville and at baptist hospital.

Not sensitive at all, just no need in speculating, and that's all you're doing. What "tuning" are you talking about?! The kind where you assemble the gun and shoot it? That's all I've ever done, so I don't understand what you're saying. Please, do tell. That's kinda like me saying Masseratis are silly because they require too much maintenance and are finicky.....I've never owned or driven one, but I've read it. You prefer the AK, that's great, I'd like to own one of those too. But I haven't, so I won't tell the OP anything I've read or heard about them just to be "that guy" that spreads nonsense Lighten up Lucy. I stated my opinion, that is all. I work around these things everyday. OP asked for opinions I gave mine.

Get a Mossberg 500 or 870 and get a Blackhawk Knoxx spec-ops stock and don't worry about the recoil. If price is an issue get a Hawk 982 or Pardner Pump and you can use the 870 spec-ops stock on them. I've had several and their 90% recoil reduction is pretty accurate.

Who has reliability issues? Have you owned one? I own them, have built them, and as long as you have an inkling of how to tune your gas system vs. buffer, there's no problem. My latest build is a 7.5" barrel. Has no fireball because it has the Noveske KX3 on it. It is loud, but again with the KX3 all the noise is mainly down range. To the "can't do what it's supposed to do" people. What's yours "supposed" to do? We've shot mine at 100 yards and have no problem hitting a 12" steel plate. No, the ballistics won't be what a 16" barrel with a carbine gas system would be, that's common sense. But mine was built to have fun with, and it does exactly that. Would I take it to a battle? Well that's a silly question, that's not what it's for. Is it fun, reliable, and accurate at 100 yards and a little further? It sure has been. So, no...it may not punch through cinder blocks at 200 yards. If you want that, a pistol build isn't for you. But to make claims that they aren't reliable based on what you've heard or read on the interwebz isn't right. ETA: At least your not sensitive about it. :blink: Any gun that needs that much tuning to get to work is not my idea of reliable. Fun toy, sure. Practical tool, not my first choice. IMO, an AK pistol is a practical tool and a fun toy. I was making a comparison and no I don't have AR pistol. Don't need it. I have an AK pistol. :D

AK pistols make sense. The 7.62 is a fast burning round and is pretty much maxed out in a 16 in barrel, so a site barrel you're only losing a couple hundred fps. Effective range is about the same as a longer barrel. AR pistols don't make a whole lot of sense to me because you have reliability issues, the 5.56 loses quite a bit in the shorter barrel, and you basically end up with a high velocity .22 magnum IMO.

Only if his order papers show him currently stationed in TN. If not, then no. Ft. Cambell is unique in that their orders give them a dual status in TN and KY.

and supposedly they supported the idea of Obamacare.

Not to get into it again but my personal property rights (ie Vehicle) are not trumped by someone else's property rights (ie parking lot) simply because they come into contact with one another. The law simply allows both property rights to be exercised and used in conjunction with one another and not at the exclusion of one over the other.   Of course others like FedEx and some on this forum disagree. 

Kel-Tec RFB.

Don't waste a Vepr on the 5.45. The Vepr uses an RPK heavy receiver with a heavy barrel and is much better suited for the heavier calibers. You will be wasting all of it's great benefits on the 5.45. The Vepr is the nicest most well built AK ever made by any company.
