Excellent write-up. Was the class hosted at the Air Guard base?

So if we're not going to respond to the context of the original post anymore... Anyone else glad that the Titans had a bye-week today?

Again, I'd rather stick to fighting real problems rather than jousting windmills. Way too many hypothetical and imaginary evils in this thread. Next on Coast To Coast... Cattle Mutilations!

Leeroy, you need to go back and read what you quoted again. The 4th Amendment guarantees you reasonable sovereignty in your HOME. It does not guarantee you those things in public. Our forefathers knew what they were doing, you're just distorting what they endeavored to provide. And so what if these "big brother cameras" become used for catching people who litter or commit other petty crimes. A crime is a crime is a crime, right? The same complaint could be lodged against traffic cameras that might catch you running a red-light during the darkest hours of the night when no other souls were around. You still ran a red-light, so you still deserved to get caught. I see a lot of people bellyaching about what-if scenarios, and some of these scenarios involve doing something wrong in the first place. It seems there's an easy solution here. Don't do anything illegal.

It's "fortune" and I think a lot of what is depressing you may be represented in that NFL avatar you have.

If it is a revocable living trust, yes.

My problem with it is that we either have cautious faith in our system and work to fix the things that are real problems, or we become reclusive hermits living completely "off the grid" in the Canadian Rockies and completely shun participation in structured society.

OOOO! Who's watching the people watching Big Brother?!? And who's watching THEM?!?!? Come on. At some point you have to have at least a little faith in the systems of checks and balances put out there.

Nice! An SP-01 will end up in my care one of these days, but that's a nice piece of hardware.

Guy #1: OMG! That guy is noticing things!!!! REPORT HIM!!!!! Guy #2: Dude, you noticed him noticing it... I'm reporting you! Guy #3: WHOA, you noticed him noticing that guy noticing things!!! Guy #4: I'm reporting all of you for noticing that guy noticing that stuff!!!!! ... ad nauseum

Lots of blinking in that video. Actually, lots of good information. Perhaps some of us here have heard of it before? A little thing called "Situational Awareness" ? I swear, when did we start looking down our noses at being aware of what's going on around us and doing our civic duty by reporting things that don't look kosher? Did I miss something? Is being a good citizen now bad just because Obama's in the White House? At no point in that video did they tell you to report your neighbor with the NRA sticker on his car, or the guy who goes to Temple every Saturday. Some of you need to loosen the tinfoil a little.

Wow... there are some pretty odd and completely incorrect notions floating around in this thread. Tap, rack, bang. Practice it. Live it, learn it, love it.

I met a lot of people at the event but couldn't meet them all. Unfortunately she was one of them. Please post up more info. If she's registered here, perhaps she should start a thread and tell us more about it.

I don't know if there is one or not. Search it out. If not, start one.

I'm waiting on quantity of each size available and will then add it to the TGO Store. Sorry for the delay.

Careful! JHatmaker posted a pic similar to that and got someone really pissed off at him before.

Yep, I have the 900 for my current workstation case. Works great.

It has to be aged a few years before they can uncork it.

That Windows 2007 is like a fine wine.

Nope. OS-X murders Linux. It's a *Nix operating system with real-world support from a major manufacturer and the entire software industry. Linux will never enjoy that. I run Windows on my PCs and Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro. I love them both for different reasons.

Link to that? I ordered my Win 7 64-bit OEM pack from NewEgg today for $139 shipped.

I'm completely out of horse heads, though. We're probably going to start using hamsters for this. I realize that the impact made by a hamster head is nowhere near the same, but times are tough and we can get hamsters by the caseload.

It's always easy to form odd and unusual theories of why certain things happened the way they did when you weren't a part of the planning process and weren't savvy to the specific challenges that presented themselves over the course of that planning process. I'm sure that there were people who wondered why Vanilla Ice got invited to your event instead of some other rap artist. That said, I can promise you that while the Outpost benefited it was not established as a "Let's drive a boatload of sales to the Outpost some random Saturday this year" event. At no point during the day did anyone announce that people were required to go into the store and buy something, so the conspiracy theory that it was all about boosting their sales is pretty ludicrous. I started this thread for constructive feedback, not so that people could lob stones at the sponsors and vendors. As the event grows in years ahead, I'm sure that there will be increased opportunities for other vendors to become involved. Frankly, the Barrett family would have welcomed that sort of financial assistance with the event this year as well but ultimately bore the vast majority of the burden themselves. For that, we should all be thankful since it allowed a large number of Tennessee gun owners to come together and meet with their elected representatives, and each other, and take home "ammo" for the cause. Keep that in mind.

They work "okay" for small touch-ups but I've seen this stuff come off eventually with some gun cleaning solvents. If it's an entire firearm or a larger part of one, I'd have it re-blued professionally rather than ghetto it with one of those pens.
