I'd refund the guy his money and tell him you're sorry he lives in a Commie-ass state like Illinois, and then list any future sales as being not available to people in certain states.

Nope.  My annual membership at a local range is completely going to waste right now.   Kind of sucks.

  Sounds like sour grapes rather than price gouging.  :bored:   This thread doesn't even deserve to exist.  Closing it and editing the title.  It's not fair to that business for some pissed-off non-customer to come here and gripe about them when the price is within current market range for that item.  We're not Craigslist.  Drive-by mud slingings aren't welcome here.

  I'm going to start doing it in my town just to get to know my neighbors better.   :D

By far my favorite photo from yesterday's event is this one... You're mah boy, Blue!!! :rofl: I kinda miss that guy. At least everyone knew that he was f'king the country. One intern at a time. :)

Let's keep this on topic.  There are a hundred threads here talking about why or why not to alert the police to the fact that you're carrying.  This thread is about a good encounter.  Let's leave it there.

  Why exactly is he a douchebag?  :confused:

I wonder what shoes the fourth guy in from the left on the 1st row up is wearing...

Yep.  The flag.  That guy is winning it.

  Large quantity orders of anything take priority over small orders of anything.  It doesn't matter if we're talking about ammo or something else entirely, but some folks have to look for the boogeyman no matter what.   If you order 12 cases of ping-pong balls and Wal-Mart orders 200,000 cases of ping-pong balls, guess which order I am going to rush to fill first?

Just wanted to add, in case anyone else gets a case of tinfoil poisoning and decides to go full retard like this... I don't just play a forum Administrator on TV. I started this site, I own the site, I run the site. I'm not just "an" administrator, I'm the Administrator. And I'm note deleting anything. I'm leaving this out there like a head on a spike at the castle gate... a speed bump for stupidity. Here there be dragons, chief.

Bye.  :wave:

  This x100000.  Keep the weapon loaded.  Lock it away during the day if you need, but keep it loaded.  And I mean one in the chamber loaded.  It's useless to you if you can't deploy it, single handed, in the nick of time.  Don't fool yourself and think you're necessarily going to have time to wake up from your slumber and chamber a round before someone's already in your immediate vicinity.

  Yep.  I hadn't seen it until a few years ago myself.  It's kind of common in the IDPA circles too as a safety mechanism, for certain stages.  I figure that's where these folks saw it based on their videos.

  I've seen it taught in classes. Basic idea is to keep your weak hand away tucked in close and away from the firearm during the initial draw, bringing them together at the chest and punching out together.   The instructors who innovated that to begin with have started moving away from that and teaching "natural movement" where your weak hand meets your strong hand down near the belt where the firearm is being drawn from, and punching out together from there.  It's funny how you can kind of spot "tiers" in the instructor world by seeing who is still teaching concepts that the top tier instructors maybe taught a few years ago and have since moved away from while they continue to innovate.   The lower tiers of instructors kind of lag behind the times by a year or two it seems.   Anyway, you asked and that's why.

Eh... not sure about that.  NRA is the 300lb gorilla.  I've already had requests to add GOA, 2FA and a bunch of other crap.  I think I'm going to just leave it with NRA for now.  People know what that is.

  That's cool -- as long as you brought more drinks, we can always use a second shift.  :)

Yeah, I looked and I Googled.  You guys are endeavoring to be "professional vloggers" (video bloggers) and shooting is kind of the latest thing for you all.  If you're not looking for crap from people, the Internet is the wrong place for it.  A lot of us here have learned to keep our family out of the eye of the Internet for various reasons that you're probably not considering while you try to establish yourselves as YouTube celebrities.   Be careful with that.

  Agreed.  He looks about as comfortable carrying that sign as I would feel giving spongebaths at an Occupy Wallstreet camp.

Dude... you're late to the party.  This has been beaten up in at least one thread already.

  Wow dude, you're new here so I don't think you really know enough about TGO to call any of us assholes.  You can call me that if you want, but that just suggests you really don't want constructive criticism and just want subscribers to your video feed.  That's cool - I get it.  Nothing wrong with that.   My suggestion stands, though.  If you really want to do something for the "industry" and care about the "shooting sports" then maybe leverage the popularity of the videos to do more than just feature your wife shooting a gun.  Maybe use it as a podium to reach out to the women out there who think it's not for them, or that guns are the domain of men, or that guns are just scary and bad.  Sure, you're still going to get the 12 year old morons from Arfcom who live in their parents' basement and watch your videos because OMFG IT'S A REAL GIRL WITH A GUN!!!1 but you're also going to be reaching out past that pasty-white demographic and hitting the mark with people who need to be swayed.   I have confidence that you've acquired the MW3 players and lecherous old dudes as repeat audience members.  Shoot past that.  :)

  Don't be that guy.  Don't talk about shooting with a purse and then try to make me feel bad when I call you out about shooting in heels.  It doesn't work.  Now I'm going to have to insist that your wife punish you for this by taking a picture of you wearing heels and a purse.

  Don't post a video if you don't want feedback.  And don't package it the way you did here (aka "Beautiful wife shooting drills (video)") and not expect the trolls on Arfcom to come out to play.   If all you're after is putting up videos of you guys doing something you enjoy doing, more power to you.  People put videos of their cats playing in paper bags on Youtube for the same reason.  At least this video had guns.

  How do you feel about shooting in heels?  :squint:

We're sitting here debating whether it's an R or a K and the bottom line is this picture got picked up by the media and run with because this jackass was there with that sign and it says exactly what the media wants people to think about gun owners.  That we're itching to mow down a bunch of fascists.
