Sig Sight Replacement Recomendation
TGO David replied to extremescene's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
Collin, if you get the sights I can put them in for you. I have an MGW Sig-specific sight tool sitting about 10 feet from me. -
Open Carrier Has Police Confrontation (NC)
TGO David replied to a topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Because cops don't have enough to put up with on a daily basis already, and desire to make more of it for themselves right? Seriously? You really believe that? You honestly think that cops go around making crap up so that they can get hammered by Internal Affairs later? Kentucky has been that way for as long as... well.. as long as I can remember. You know how many people I have ever seen open carrying in Kentucky, from birth to my 37'th birthday?TWO. One was a farmer. The other was just a random guy. TWO. In thirty seven years. That's not saying you should draw any sort of statistic from my experience, it's just saying that I, as a gun guy who NOTICES guns ... has seen two people open carry in the hundreds of square miles that I actively lived within for 25 years and roamed within for 37 years. Interesting. -
Nope, sorry but you're wrong. It's the same WXW group that puts on the Lebanon show. (http://www.mwxmarketing.com/images/Win09_Lebanon.jpg)

Contrary to other reports, I'm pretty sure that this IS the same show as the one in Lebanon recently. And yes it was horrible out there.

Second -OR- None ... A Celebration of Liberty
TGO David replied to TGO David's topic in Events and Gatherings
I prefer to use the bio-substitute for petroleum, made from whale blubber. -
That's a quality looking firearm.

I do hope to see others become involved in this in the years ahead. Of course, the first time you do anything of this nature it's sometimes easier to get one or two sponsors on board than it is to get a bunch of sponsors. Especially if the sponsors are to be gun shops that might see each other as "competition" the other 364 days of the year.

Second -OR- None ... A Celebration of Liberty
TGO David replied to TGO David's topic in Events and Gatherings
I'm not going to derail it either, but it's always amusing to me when someone cries foul about another person sharing their opinion, but then demands that their own opinion be protected and respected. Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled tarring and feathering of everyone who doesn't agree that Ronald Reagan deserves a place on Mount Rushmore. -

Thanks for sharing your lack of a sense of humor! -

Nah, I just conceal the heck out of them. -
Open Carrier Has Police Confrontation (NC)

I've walked by countless police while armed and never had an encounter like this. Frequently with not one, but two handguns. I can't figure it out. -
My feelings on open carry are pretty well documented here on TGO. I'm not going to resuscitate that horse, but I will say this: When you are dealing with subjects where public opinion can mean the difference between votes FOR or AGAINST something that constantly teeters on the edge of un-popularity, discretion can truly be the better part of valor. There are a lot of Americans who don't own guns. There are a lot of Americans who really don't care about guns or gun laws so long as you don't go waving either in their faces. Those people will neither vote for or against a subject unless you give them a reason to. I'd rather give those swing-voters a reason to see me as not being some sort of self-imagined threat to them by appearing "normal" and keeping my means of self defense discretely tucked away. Like it or not, the voter with delicate sensibilities probably sees you carrying your firearm as an abnormality in their world, and chances are they are right even if only because the vast majority of other armed persons they encounter have theirs concealed. Come to think of it... I've never seen a 6th Dan black belt walk into Kroger with their "belt" hanging off of their hip just to show people how effective they might be at handling any self-defense situation that might arise, either.

Thanks for coming down yesterday. I was up in your neck of the woods today actually. -
FYI... it's not state law, it's Federal law.

Do you recall when you ordered? I put mine in sometime in August; really hope it ships soon but their web site says they are still on April 2009 orders.

Second -OR- None ... A Celebration of Liberty
TGO David replied to TGO David's topic in Events and Gatherings
There was also a news agency from Germany present. Yes, Germany. I am going to be very anxious to see what their report ends up being. -
IF YOU ATTENDED the Second or None event today, I would like to hear your comments on the event -- particularly anything that might help us make the event better next year. Suggestions or constructive criticisms most gladly welcomed. I will do my best to make sure that comments harvested from this thread reach the appropriate parties. I'll leave it open for a few days then close it and compile the results. Thanks!

I have a few from before the event started but once things were in full swing, I had no time to take any more. I'll try to get them posted up on Monday; taking tomorrow off. -

Never saw you. My wife said she never saw you at the TGO table either. What's up with that?
