TGO David

Are you a Rager or just an Unhappy Customer of the USAF? To better serve you, our USAF friends will need to qualify which you are so that they can most efficiently compose an email addressing your particular type of discontent.

You're going to need to pick the home state of residence for the LLC and then in the other state file for "alien" status with the Dept of State. For example, if you register the LLC in Georgia and wish to conduct business in TN, you would fine for alien status with the state of Tennessee. You probably have figured that out by now if you've already looked at the online tools like Legal Zoom. If you don't get any help from the folks here on TGO, I'd contact the Chamber of Commerce in your area and see if they can recommend a lawyer or counseling service that works with small businesses. Many areas have them.

Why hang out at Starbucks drinking a cup of coffee from Hardees? We're pretty proud of what we've put together here at TGO. If someone wants to advertise for another forum, they are always welcome to apply for Vendor status and we'll take it into consideration. Not saying we'd do it... just saying we'd consider it.

You guys should just have Eddie stand on a pillar at SHOT and let that be the Hero Gear display. At the unveiling, 3 of 4 women present will likely need cigarettes, 1 of 4 will immediately bear children, and being within such close proximity, Cuba will likely surrender and become the 51st State. Hell I got all tingly just writing that.

I'm so tactical that I've been hiding in this thread since July and you bishes didn't even see me there. I could've cut all of you.

You know... I've noticed that Eddie (Mr. I Put The Sexy In Tactical) has been absent a lot lately. Wasn't he at this shoot also?

What's the arc from in this shot?

You are not a moderator. Leave the moderating to those of us who are. In the future if you feel that something like this needs to be addressed, click on the button beneath the post in question to report that post to the moderator team and we'll look into it. It's not your place to address it with the member in question. In this case I see no reason to bother; the signature quote is bigoted in any way. Jew is a concatenated form of the word Jewish, not a slur.

As a 1911 aficionado and owner of combat tupperware, I must respectfully disagree with this statement. My Wilson Pro commander bobtail is no more comfortable than my Glock 19 when carried IWB in the same style of holster. The Glock 19 probably has the advantage. I agree with everything else you said, though.

1. Absolutely not. 2. Definitely. What make/model handgun is that?

Why would a person want a Corvette when a Chevette will get you from point A to point B also?

Frankly I think that a CDMA iPhone would suck. Verizon's strength is in their signal availability. They really don't do much else better than their competition. That's easy: Don't develop to Microsoft standards. I'm glad that the world is finally telling Microsoft to take their non-standard code and stick it. IE8 shows promise, but FireFox remains my favorite.

CGun, I think you need to visit our Code of Conduct and read it again. Specifically rule #3. Members should treat each other as they would like to be treated themselves. Name calling, flame posts, racial slurs, and other insulting remarks meant to cause conflict will not be tolerated. You should always try to maintain good fellowship with the other members of this community and be respectful to your fellow shooting enthusiasts whether they are new shooters or seasoned veterans. So far your posts in this thread have been rife with condescension and sarcastic remarks. If you wan to contribute something worthwhile to the thread, please do. However if you can't get along with the other members, you will be removed from the site. Thanks.

Yeah I tried Opera on my Curve once. It was a little better than the built in browser, but still not as nice as the iPhone. I tell you though, my biggest beef with the iPhone is the lack of an externally replaceable battery pack. Apple's obsession with tiny seam-free devices is nifty when you're talking about an iPod, but a smart-phone really needs to have a battery pack that can be changed out on the fly. Especially when the phone chews through a battery's charge as fast as the iPhone does on the 3G data network. If I get an iPhone like I'm planning, I will have to pick up something like this: http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2009/01/01/review-incase-power-slider-battery-backup-case What's another $100 when you're already paying out the nose for the service?

I promise I'm not being argumentative, though. Maybe you can "tweak" a Blackberry's browser so that pages actually look right on them. If that's possible, I'd stick with Verizon instead of moving to an iPhone with AT&T. Anyone?

I don't know where you saw a Storm that had a browser even remotely comparable to Safari on the iPhone. I've been living with the Curve for about a year now and demo'd a Storm recently just to see if it would work for me and keep me from having to leave Verizon. From what I saw, it still choked bad on sites that use common CSS tricks, DHTML and Ajax. Safari presents a web page closer to the way the page's author intended. Blackberry's browser presents the page to you the way that RIM thinks it should look. The two are night and day apart.

I've messed with a WAP "theme" (that is what vBulletin calls them) before on another forum and it was a huge mess to maintain. The vBulletin developers claim that version 4.x of the software will include a native WAP theme. If they do, I'll implement it here. As others have said, the iPhone's browser is hands down the best mobile browser out there. Nothing that Blackberry offers even comes close. I'm switching to an iPhone from a Blackberry 8330 Curve very soon for that exact reason. I need the browser more than anything else for work now.

Those huge smilies are, frankly, hideous. But to each their own.

I use that on my Mossberg. Works great.

I'm looking to pick up an iPhone 8gb for work related purposes within the next week or two. When I do, I'll be sure to add this to my list of cool things to check out.

Eventually, yes. All things in due time.

CGun... keep it civil. Only warning. Thanks.

Practically every officer I've spoken with about the issue agrees that the law is silly. The more savvy officers realize that the restriction technically applies to them also, when not in the execution of official police duties. Any time you spot a uniformed officer sitting at a booth in Chilis eating lunch, he's technically breaking the letter of the law if he is carrying. It's a really absurd restriction and something we can all thank Jimmy Naifeh for keeping in place for so long. Hell, if Kentucky allows it then you know that Tennessee is really behind the times. They don't even let you buy beer up there on Sundays.

As a matter of fact, I do know someone on a very close level that did a few years in a state penitentiary. They lost their right to ever own a firearm again as well as certain other rights. But you know what? At the end of their incarceration they walked out of the minimum security work facility a free live man. Given the choice between maybe getting sent to prison for defending my life or the lives of my family members but seeing them kept safe because of my actions or any of my family taking the eternal dirt nap because some crazed jackass killed one or all of us... I'll take my chances with the justice system. Frankly, this decision needs to be made before a person ever commits to carrying a handgun for self defense in the state of Tennessee. There are a myriad of ways that an otherwise good shoot could be spun as a bad shoot by an overzealous District Attorney looking to make a name for himself and an example out of a gun owner. Don't fool yourself. If you think it's all going to be roses because you were justified in shooting the guy who held a knife to your face in a darkened alley, you're seriously misguided. You might do jail time even then. As someone who is interested in becoming a certified carry permit instructor, you really owe it to yourself and to your future students to acknowledge that possibility and teach it. People need to make an informed decision when they choose to strap a firearm to their hip. A lot could go bad with it, but it's ultimately a choice of whether you will live or the bad guy will live. I've had the fortune of sitting under the instruction of several gifted trainers who made absolutely no bones about this fact. It was an eye opener for a lot of people in our classes, myself included. Just my $0.02 on the matter as a father, a husband and someone who values his life and the lives of his family over the lives of anyone who would dare do us mortal harm.

No, the leather is fairly stiff (stiffer than most belts) and doesn't overlap the top of the slide or the beavertail. I suppose that might cause some fatter folks some consternation as the slide would still dig into soft rolls of skin since it's not covered by the leather backing, but that's why God made gymnasiums.
