    Cool!  :up:

Who did you finally have do the install for you?

  I am now.  :)

I could certainly look at her for a four year term if she were elected President.

Regarding the Accuwedge, here is a good thread beating it to death elsewhere, comprised of people who rely on their rifles to get them home alive:   http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=89153     Cliff's notes: Looseness between upper and lower receiver doesn't affect accuracy. Inserting unnecessary foreign objects into your rifle's working-space is asking for trouble. Don't do it.

  We have ways that have proven highly effective.  Why are you so concerned about it?  Do we need to watch your account activity?

So apparently the guys at the ENDO blog have a nickname for James based off of his eerily similar appearance to a LGBT porn star named Buck Angel who is apparently a female-turned-male (via hormone replacement therapy) and has the appearances of a man with the naughty downstairs bits of a woman.  The guys on M4Carbine were quick to point out this blog entry the other day and then someone asked for clarification on why they call James "Buck" and, well, the story unfolded.   I tell you all of this so you won't go Googling "Buck Angel" because I'm sure it's not pleasant.   You can see their Buck Yeager meme at the bottom of this blog post.  No, that's not James.  But damn they really do look alike.  The main point being, the blog gives a pretty succinct bullet-point break down on what has transpired.  And the meme makes me laugh.   http://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/2013/01/10/buck-yeager-will-kill-anyone-who-tries-to-take-his-guns/     ####   Edited to add:  There's been a lot of talk about his history in Iraq.  I don't have a dog in that hunt and am not going to Monday morning quarterback something that I wasn't present for.  I'll leave that to those of you with active combat experience to judge.  My beef is and remains the fact that as a prominent member of the civilian firearms training industry (whether or not you like him or agree with him, you can't argue that he isn't known) he really fucked the rest of us good with his lack of filter in the first two installations of the "Pack Your Bags" videos and offered himself up as the most useful idiot possible to the gun-grabbing antis.   Just wanted to clarify my position on this as all of these conversations seem to have taken on a lot more complexity than what is necessary.  None of this is about Route Irish or his AAR; it's about screwing the pooch so publicly, so grandly, that it plays straight into the hands of everyone who wants to make a case that his appearance, demeanor, words and intentions are indicative of all gun owners and are exactly why so-called assault rifles should be banned.   That's my bitch here.

  Noooooooooooooooooo!  :panic:

I just wanted to make sure folks caught this.

  This is what i was about to post.   But as our co-admin MacGyver posted a while back on the subject of running a suppressed home defense weapon, I'd at least like to be able to hear what the police are asking me once they arrive.   I'll be running a can on both my nightstand gun and my shorty AR soon enough.

No, we're definitely getting some of the Breast-Cancer-Awareness-Pink TGO White Wine Spritzer Coozies made too, but they only come in one size dammit.

No.

I'll be making stickers.  Not going to be making anything else.   No offense but that's why I stopped doing swag in the first place.  One or two items wasn't enough; soon everyone wanted us to basically have a TGO Pro Shop and all I heard was "If it came in black..." or "If it was a can coozie instead of a key chain..." or "If it came in my size...." so I just f'ing quit doing it.   I'm not Wal-Mart.  TGO is what I do in the evenings and weekends when I should be spending time with my family.  It's not a full time job.  It'd have to be a full time job to do half the crap people want.   So... stickers.  That's it.  Not going to be anything else for the imminent future.

Until we get moved over to the faster web server, you guys have GOT to be more patient and not resubmit your posts over and over because you don't think the forum accepted it the first time.  I've cleaned up a bunch of that stuff over the past few days and it's getting old.   Be patient!  If you aren't sure that the server kept your post, highlight everything in the editor box, copy  it into your computer's clipboard, then go check and see if the post is complete or not.   For what it's worth, the forum software actually keeps a running copy of what you're composing.  If the page bombs, the editor will actually give you a chance to use what it already auto-saved for you.   Just watch as you're typing from now on.  In the lower left corner of the editor window you'll see where it says something like this:   [quote]   Last auto saved: 09:53:14 [/quote]   That is actually a link and if you click it, it will restore whatever you were typing.   You too can prevent forum fires!  :)

I dunno, man... same beard, same shiny head... verdict's out on this one for now, "Not James". ;)

  So... you GetofftheX.com guys have had a chance to rally together, determine if there's a good chance or not of you getting fucked by the government right along with him, and have come out to support your guy and be brave now.   Ok.

Welcome to the community!

Search is your friend.

  It was a compelling video.  It had words that made sentences that made statements.  I forgive him!   Oh. My. God!!!!!!  Seriously???  You're ok with this???   We've really got to get to the point where we don't just give people a hall-pass when they fuck the rest of us, because they came back later to tell us they were sorry.  Sorry isn't an eraser.  It doesn't change history.  It doesn't undo all of the damage done.  It doesn't take his original videos off of the hourly replay loop on every major news network.  It doesn't keep him from being used as the anti's new poster boy for stricter firearms control during the next Congressional hearing.

  HAH!  Now I've got to go watch the movie and I've spend the past 20 years pretending that Ghost Busters 2 never happened.

  Wow, dude... sometimes I think you're completely blinded by Lady Liberty's knickers or something.  This is really simple:   Tennessee issues Handgun Carry Permits which authorizes citizens to go armed in public. James Yeager has one of such permits issued by the state. He makes a threat that he's going to start killing people.   The above are facts.  Now, let's venture into What-if-ville...   Suppose the State doesn't revoke his permit despite him being on the record with those statements. And then suppose he drives to Nashville and guns down an elected official.   OR... Suppose he's in a diner in Camden, hears someone spout of Anti 2nd Amendment rhetoric, flips his shit and shoots them.   Do you think for a second that the State wouldn't get sued for empowering him to go armed?   They HAD to revoke his permit.  Period.  End of story.

Yeah, I'm actually going to order a bunch more of them soon.  Just got to get us moved to the new server first.  That's the priority issue for me at the moment.   But those are definitely coming back!

  While that would undoubtedly be extremely entertaining, if the rest of us gun owners are lucky, someone is now acting as his "handler" and will be screening anything new before it gets uploaded to YouTube where it can do unfathomable damage to the cause.   Sooner or later someone in his close cadre of friends has got to pull him aside and save him from his ego if they care about him at all.

I'm sure Yeager is smart enough to have a permit from some other state as well. This is a warning shot across the bow from the State. Edited to add... Yeah, that video and that picture aren't going to be allowed to slip from the public memory anytime soon. :rolleyes:

Weren't there claims that the DHS and a bunch of other alphabet soup agencies were hoarding the shit out of some ammo a while back?  Like millions of rounds more than they could possibly use?
