Of course.

Interesting to read some of the responses here. Obviously a lot of people have formed opinions on what they would have (or actually wouldn't have) done in a situation like this based off of God knows what. Magazines? Movies? Introspective belly button gazing? Wherever the knowledge and insight was gained, it wasn't gained in the real world where situations such as this are extraordinarily dynamic and do not follow any sort of script or outline. My own "game plan" -- if you want to call it that -- comes from having been shot before. Twice. Neither time was malicious, both were accidental and both are extremely long stories that I don't really care to go into. One was a freak accident the other was childhood stupidity. Both hurt like hell and one left me in a pretty precarious situation that could have gone either way, survival-wise. Perhaps one of the more defining insights that I gained from these experiences is that I'll damn sure do anything in my power to prevent being shot ever again. Pretty sure I wouldn't have tried to disarm the guy. Pretty sure someone would have ended up shot in this situation. Pretty sure it wouldn't have been me either. Of course that's all assuming this even happened to begin with, which I'm still pretty uncertain of. It's very easy to substantiate, though. Since the dude with the Derringer was arrested, there has to be an arrest report and those are public record. Let's have some more information so that I can join the ranks of those who believe. County or municipality where this happened? Date and location on which it occurred? I can handle the rest. Thanks.

Don't follow me outside after this, but my bulls#*! detector is tingling a little bit.

My wife doesn't like her chili as hot as I like mine, so I add a small dose of Dave's Insanity Sauce to my bowl to liven it up a bit. Still, the chili she makes is hotter than my kids prefer. They'll toughen up or go hungry.

Gotcha. And I agree.

My wife and I make it with ground beef but it's a very thick chili as well. And very hot.

I honestly have never heard of anyone running a magwell on a bobtail 1911. Seems highly counter productive to the purpose of the bobbed mainspring housing and frame.

Yes, and no... it's not even noticeable that it's there. We're only talking about 1/4 inch of material, if that.

Rutherford County has extension officers that work in schools when they are technically off-duty from their day jobs, I believe.

Strel, that's enough of the personal attacks. Besides which, you should maybe go back and try to comprehend what the OP was saying before you jump to conclusions.

All of this being proof that debt collections people are scum of the earth.

I really see no point in this thread going much further. Facts: 1. Jack's ban was temporary and has been lifted by me several days ago. Whether he chooses to come back or not is up to him. He's welcome to do so. 2. My door is always open to anyone who has a concern about the way things are done. Neither I or any of the moderators are perfect so I'm open to constructive criticisms as long as they are constructive.

Hmmm. I like this.

Ok, send me a PM and tell me who you think is out of line and give me some instances to back it up. My door is and always has been open for this sort of thing.

No, it's not uncommon anywhere, anytime, when someone pushes the limit of what is acceptable and is removed from the ice and thrown into the penalty box for a period of time. No one likes getting their hand slapped. Fortunately most folks are mature enough to learn from their mistakes, accept that they alone are responsible for the actions leading to whatever disciplinary action there was, and takes it in stride. Some folks refuse to do that and either throw a hissy fit or try to convince everyone else that they were wronged. It's not the first time that's happened here.

He's not banned. He's enjoying a self-imposed exile because this place sucks.

Not cool at all. Completely irresponsible and gives all of us a really, really bad name. That said... the target has HUGE cajones.

It looks like my wife and I should easily be able to make it to this one. See you guys then.

Wow. Totally not a concession I'd make in exchange for the ability to work from home.

This is a great idea. I would recommend submitting these reviews to Google's own Google Places as well as Trip Adviser. Reviews from both of these sites come up almost automatically when you search for places to eat using an Android smart phone or an iPhone.

My grandfather used to call people like him "hang turds". They won't fall off no matter how hard you try to wiggle.

Disagree. The law enforcement community is a better indicator of what works on a daily basis in the sort of settings you are likely to be exposed to. Unless you are personally somehow bound by the Geneva Convention in respect to ammo choice, or the government issues you your weapon(s), your own gear selection shouldn't necessarily be swayed by what the military uses. And as for the Russians in their big heavy coats... logic would seem to dictate that the South Pole parka worn by the hoodlum holding you up at the ATM has very little in common with the construction of whatever garments the Russians were wearing during WWII. All things being equal, nothing here is equal.

Let's not get into the business of proliferating anecdotes. I've got friends who have told me all manner of bull**** before. It doesn't make it true.
