Highly recommend the services offered here. Great guy to give your business to, and the quality of his work speaks for itself.

I grew up in the Boston area. Despite my liberal tendencies, I'm no stranger to working an honest day. Money was never abundant in the house, so the summer before I started high school, I literally hoped on my bike one day, went place to place asking if they needed help they were willing to pay me for and handing out my contact info handwritten on some slips of paper to leave behind. The owner of a local glass company (home windows, windshields, mirrors, ect) hired me on the spot because he was impressed I was willing to do all that just to make a few bucks. After that job, I stocked shelves at the local convenience store for the rest of high school, working after school hours about three days a week and on Sunday morning would come in at 7am to put the various sections of the Sunday papers together (news, lifestyle, sports, funnies/coupons). In the summer before my senior year of high school, I enlisted in the Army on the delayed entry program. I knew I wanted to do the same as my father and serve the country for a bit after high school, and on the selfish side, I honestly wanted to branch out of the area I'd lived all my life and get some money for college someday. In the Army, I spent 8.5 years in, all my post basic training and AIT time at Fort Campbell with deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. Got out in April 2009, and took a contract job with an IT program supporting ground level units. I lived in Kuwait for 2.5 years, did a year back at Fort Campbell, then deployed to Afghanistan as an embed with two of the 101st Brigades for a year, getting the opportunity to spend time with front line units to show them how to use our system in their mission. Then, once the wars winded down, and my stop on the gravy train came up (I was on a sub-contract), I decided to take the Army up on its generous offer to pay for an undergrad degree. Decided to stay in Tennessee, moved from Clarksville to Murfreesboro to make a break from the military and earned a BS in Political Science with a Public Admin focus in three years by going straight through with full time in the summers. As the military was paying for the education and giving me a decent little stipend for housing, I didn't need a full time job, but found a great part-time one as an academic mentor for the MTSU athletic department. I spent two of those three years in school primarily with freshman on the MTSU football team during their first year of college; helping them with study plans, teaching them how to allocate time, giving feedback and corrections on work they did, and running their study hall Mon-Thurs. It was a very rewarding job, and seeing the gains some of them strived for and hit in their year with me was a great feeling. While I was at about the halfway point in college, another TGO'er took me under his wing, and helped me with finding a job when I graduated. He rounded out the edges that came from working with the military and football players, teaching me what I needed to know for a full jump into the private sector. On top of all that, he introduced me to the CEO of the company I work for now...talk about doing a guy a favor. That leads to the "what do you do question." For the last six months, I've worked for a medical management services company of a large radiology practice group. My title is Clinical Operations Specialist, and it's as vague as it sounds because I was really hired with a wide open portfolio. I do a little bit of everything- project management, data analysis, financial proformas, working with all other sections (revenue cycle, IT, HR) to ensure sectional efforts are being synchronized to align towards a shared goal. My bosses and co-workers give me a wide latitude, and a lot of trust. It's quite humbling to be allowed to contribute via such a method. I like to think I add value proportional to how they treat me, but the company I work for did great things well before my arrival, and I wouldn't be successful as I am there now without those same people continuing to excel in their roles. Many of my days end with my wondering how I've been so lucky to this point. I'm not IT, and even my office has IT clutter in it. Now, we have that clutter organized, and as neatly stacked as can be, but if you walk in my office, you see it for sure. We're in the middle of a multi-month systems swap for our doctors, so boxes with desktop systems comprised of big towers because they need the processing power, and large screen monitors in triple are around. I told IT if you're running out of storage space, they can use my office because only three of the four work areas are in use. Unless that CEO has respectable values and personality to match his salary, he isn't worth emulating to me. Some folks are rich because they screwed enough people along the way to make it happen. I'd rather learn from those who earned their money by taking care of people, inspiring them to go out of their way for the company.

Being back on fast pace full time work after three years in college, and an on-call support job for a while before that makes me appreciate just how valuable time for learning is.

I think I always have the fulfillment center items charged sales tax, but I'd have to go through a lot of order invoices to be sure. Very rarely do I not get hit for sales tax on Amazon. Not mad, it is what it is, so I just factor into my decision to buy online versus at a store. Not having to get out and deal with a store usually wins out easily.

In the case of the banks, the risk is that DOJ will use their own disclosure filings as evidence against them. They were skeptical enough under the Obama administration, but with Jeff Sessions and his "good people don't smoke marijuana" view of things, it's clear that the risk of providing banking services to the weed industry is not worth it. https://www.dorsey.com/newsresources/publications/client-alerts/2017/02/revisiting-the-risk-of-banking Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk.

Amazon is collecting state sales taxes for Tennessee now...has been for a bit. As to the shipping cost...maybe that had to do with being a prime member or not. I know free shipping for qualified items is automatic since I have a prime account. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk. OhShoot very much likes to know when we're using Tapatalk.

I think it was just getting warmed up to blow up. That barrel was getting quite red at the end. Same for the part of the gas cylinder (or gas regulator, @173rdABN would know which one for sure) we could see. The SAW was actually one of my favorite weapons from my time in, but putting a suppressor on it makes zero sense to me. Ditto with putting that many rounds through it continuously. Wasn't meant for either at all.

Warning to all, those are not Newsmax links...they're either direct to somewhere else, or have a redirect that was split second fast via my internet connection. Weed will be a huge industry nationwide once these ridiculous laws are gone, but this reeks (no pun intended) of scam.

Got this belt mounted FAB Defense AR mag holder on Amazon for about $21. Fits the 20rd mags perfectly, and I'm sure it would do just as fine for a 30rd'er...but I'm honestly on a 20rd kick for weight and low vis purposes.

I've had sleep issues off and on most of my adult life. Like Mac, I find exercise of any form helps, but I'm bad about getting it in. Also, this time of year tends to mess with me big time. The long daylight hours, the heat...I just never sleep as well in the summer as I do in the late fall or winter no matter what. Melatonin helps, but like others, I don't want to become dependent on a pill to sleep. I only use it when I've been worn down from a night or two of 4-5 hours or fitful sleep, or a Sunday night before a miserably packed day at work.

It's almost a given that anything BCM will be pleasing and durable. Ditto with DD. If you're looking to make the leap to a higher echelon of AR's, those two are where to be. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk. OhShoot very much likes to know when we're using Tapatalk.

I've yet to see a better water container than the 5-gallon ones we had in the military. They're super tough, can be stored in vehicles easy, and even fit inside a rucksack too perfectly (aside from the weight) if you're going to be on foot and need a large water supply. Just refresh the water inside them from time to time, and they'll be there when needed.

Must have been short supply and/or some quick grabs. The upper was available when I linked it, and I chose that one as it was the only complete upper under 10.5" in stock. Keep an eye out, that upper had the good BCG with it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk. OhShoot very much likes to know when we're using Tapatalk.

This: http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar-15-complete-classic-pistol-lower-no-magazine-black.html Plus this:http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-8-5-pistol-length-5-56-nato-1-7-melonite-barrel-and-7-2a-armament-keymod-rail-with-bcg-ch.html Equals: a brand new trunk ready AR pistol for only $430 plus shipping and transfer fees, and no worry about legal hassle (just keep your invoice with the S/N and product description in the truck). You can spoil yourself with a cheek rest for it, and a sling to enable you to lock it out for as stable an aim as can be.

Geissele triggers are very much worth the money if have it to spend and you're more than a once or twice a year AR shooter. I have a SD-3G for my SBR, and I'm teetering on getting an SD-E for my 16" AR that I recently put a Vortex Strike Eagle on. I've just fallen in love with the flat bow style and am pretty much using it as a standard for any AR I have...but if all I could use were Geissele's standard curve triggers, I'd live.

Very good video for people to be aware of when setting up ranges. When units would set up ranges on bases in Iraq and Afghanistan for test firing and confirming/re-establishing zeros, the size of the backstops were something constantly evaluated to make sure we weren't sending stray rounds out of the base and into nearby areas (this happened a few times in Baghdad). The division master gunner was even tasked to make inspections to ensure everything was within tolerance.

Sprintz was the only place worse than a gun store where I felt like the next meal for the salesman depended on the commission from my purchase based on their actions. Unlike the confines of gun store, it let me play a small game of can I shake the surveillance, and I got a small chuckle from seeing the salesman look around for me like I was a kid that wandered off a few times. While I wasn't there for a sale, I didn't find anything I liked...but furniture is the item I'm quite possibility the most nit picking over as a consumer. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk.

Not sure if this was a different case or not, but I recall debating a circuit court ruling about California carry law here. Basically, the challenge has to be structured to address that CA's ban on open carry makes any form of cause based requirements to get a permit too burdensome as to be a restriction on 2A rights. Asking the court to rule regarding concealed bans on their own merits without tying in the prohibition on open carry is a losing fight.

Pretty sure it's bribe money to make it go away and possibly put a clamp on public statements. You can see the words " The settlement amount was paid by the city's insurance company" so it's within the acceptable range of loss for the city (though this insurer should be re-looking at Ferguson's policing tactics hard). Also, the parents would have probably had to sign something to the effect that they aren't holding the city in blame for to take the money, and even possibly a clause that prevents them from speaking publicly on the issues the lawsuit settlement puts to rest. I'd tie the funds to a payment plan to ensure that one, however. This one is kind of small for the events that transpired. You should see some of the payments the Chicago comptroller has to cut checks for.

It's a little further than you may want from Bell Buckle, but TFG Automotive did some good work for me when I was in Murfreesboro. The people were friendly and I think I got a fair shake for the work performed, but I'm pretty unaware of what a deal or ripoff is in the car repair area.

I know that stippling is so useful on a practical level. Better grip, especially in wet or muddy conditions, all equating a safer handling and more efficient shooting...but the aesthetic of it is something I've always been very cold on. I will admit that it's done better than most I've seen in your pics, David...so probably the person you had do the work is responsible for that difference. The 320 is a nice looking gun all around and that does help as well perhaps. Though I think the best features I see are those small rub spots on edges showing that this isn't just a range toy and you're doing some for real training with this gun.

That second line you mentioned is called Dunkin' Donuts.

With that caliber, platform's that can handle it to use it tend to stick around. Look how long the M2 .50cal machine gun has been in the inventory. The army adopted it in 1921. The McMilllian Tac 50 is great, and the upgrades for the weapon system tend to come in the glass along with shooter/spotter skills. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk.

I'll just make note that when things need done in real life, the Barret is left on the range toy list. In seriousness...when I was in Afghanistan in 2002, my platoon did a lot of work with the Canadian battalion that was deployed with us, even being tasked under them for bits at a time. We were blown away by the skillset and capabilities of 3PPCLI as the unit was known. The recce platoon in particular, where a few of the guys on the top 5 list came from stood out as being packed with studs across the formation. To hear this record shot was made by a Canadian Soldier is no shock, but I'm still awed by the ability.

I get it...there is no such thing as a "routine" traffic stop and each one has an automatic risk associated by potential alone. But LEO's concurrently need to get that citizens have a right to be armed as well, and that shouldn't take the situation from 0-60 absent any other cause. Myriad examples exist where lawfully armed citizens are treated as a threat without any proximate cause to justify such. The tread line on citizen carry is going up, and that's a good thing overall. LEO training needs to get officers in a mindset where not being the only one in a situation with a firearm is a condition of the job. Philando Castille died because his right to carry was feared instead of being respected.
