That's a lot of plywood and recycled license plates!  ;)

Actually it's a thread for the shooting sports participants.  :)

Good post.

Congratulations!  My youngest is about 15 months old now.  I'm only looking forward to her turning two so that I can stop referencing "months" in her age.  :)  Other than that, I really want time to slow down so I can enjoy every bit of it.

Welcome to TGO John.   Please be sure to check out this thread before posting anything commercial:   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/55255-how-to-get-started-as-a-vendor-on-tgo/

I'm going to have to pick up one of these G43's just to see if it's really worth all the rave or not.  :)

Oh and to all of our members who are cops or were cops... I'm sorry.   I'm sorry for letting this thread go as long as I did and for the fact that you put up with the crap you do on the job, only to come to TGO and put up with it here.   We won't let that happen again.  Ya'll may be a bunch of donut bandits, but some of us are glad you are here.

You know... when I saw this thread start, I figured it was going to go this way but I also thought "We always close these things down pretty quickly so do we really know that it's always going to go into the toilet or are we just making assumptions?" So I decided to let it run. And guess what: We ended up right where I figured we were going to end up. Blah blah blah Cops are assholes. Blah blah blah Cops are power hungry jack-booted thugs. Blah blah blah Cops don't need assault rifles and armored cars and body armor or any of that other stuff we all think is cool and want to own ourselves. And now I remember why we lock these threads down. We do it because like one guy said, most of us who know a cop or cops know some really nice guys. We do it because we realize that yeah, a few dicks can spoil the reputation of an entire profession. We do it because we've got members on this forum who are cops and are (a.) good people and (b.) our friends and (c.) fellow gun owners and (d.) valuable sources of insight and professional perspective and just allowing people to freely malign their profession seems a bit egregious. But hey... a good ole' cop lynching thread (make no mistake, that's what we're doing here) can go on for days and pages because deep down inside we're all probably a little pissed off still about that one time when that cop wrote us a ticket or didn't stroke our fur the right way on the side of the road, and dammit they just deserve it. Because eff them! Right? Yeah, I'm right. So I'm closing this down but not before I answer the original question about giving the cops the finger with my favorite quote from a really cheesy movie. SURE, you can give them the bird all day long, but it might cost ya because that guy behind the badge sometimes has had just enough of everyone else's #### that day to not give you a pass when you decide to be an immature dick and flip them off. This thread sucks! Lockin' it down.

If only there were a search feature to determine if this subject were already being discussed on TGO.  ;)

I hope you all had a great time this weekend and that the weather was not too uncooperative.  Looking forward to reading those After Action Reports!

  Sometimes it's just better for your health and easier to take your business elsewhere in cases like this.

  That's pretty funny. :)

The VP9 is quickly gaining a cult following for good reason.  I liked the one that Michael @ Law Enforcement Sales TN sent me so much that we ended up getting another for the wife.   With my Milt Sparks VM2 holster, I can conceal the VP9 almost as easily as I can the Glock 19.  Still just a tad longer in the grip which makes it want to poke out a little more.

  He's been here since 2010 and if all of his posts to date were in the Trading Post, his post count wouldn't have incremented.   Not saying it doesn't raise an eyebrow, but why lurk that long just to make a false claim?

Sounds like maybe it's hit or miss.  :)

Welcome back.  If you can recall what email address you may have used previous AND you want it to be done, I can probably merge your old account into this one and all posts will appear as being from your new username.   If you like the blank slate, no need.  :)

If nothing else, Strick is a master at finding pretty girls for photography shoots, so he can maybe get a few of them draped around your logo and no one will care what the logo itself looks like.   :)   His models could make a mortuary's logo look hot!

  Years and years and years ago I got the chance to do a similar exercise.  It warms you from the inside out.  :D

  ^^^ This.

  I reckon he means the whole system.

Rain is God's way of keeping you cool.  Besides, you generally don't get to pick when your fight is going to happen or what the weather is going to be like.  :)   Let's see those high end 1911's get all muddy and nasty out there!  :D

Welcome!  I met some folks in my neighborhood yesterday who were also moving from SoCal to Tennessee.

I have a guy at work who swears by the Yongnuo flash triggers.

When I grow up, I hope to have balls as big as those guys.  That was insane.

Honestly until a conversation I was in yesterday brought them back to mind, I had sort of forgotten that they were over there.  After one of my favorite local gun-shop staffers left On-Target a while back, the overall customer experience seemed to go downhill for me and others I had spoken with at the time.   I'm glad to hear that they are turning things around.  We need more gun shops; not fewer.
