Under my pillow. Next to the grenades.

NO, collection purposes isn't a smart assed answer. It is a legitimate answer since the BATFE recognizes that some of us as freedom loving Americans do collect rifles. If you feel like wasting several months of your time, go ahead and put something like "Because I can" on a Form 1 or Form 4 and send it on in to them. They'll read it as the sort of silly, penny ante bull**** that it is and send your form back to you and tell you to try it again. Frankly I don't understand why some people feel like they should try and make a political statement every time they interact with the government. Do you think the BATFE agent assigned as the Examiner for a Form 1 or Form 4 is somehow responsible for the screwed up laws? Here's a hint: NO. If you want to make a political statement, do it at the voting booth. Deal with the jackasses who pass these inane laws to begin with. But don't take it out on the guy or gal sitting in West Virginia at the BATFE office, just doing their damn job.

I don't really like to mix up my carry items that much. Glock 19 IWB 99.999% of the time. 0.0001% of the time I have my 1911 IWB. If I had a nice OWB that pulled the butt of the grip on either of these in close to my side, then I might consider OWB during the colder weather but only if I knew for a fact that I wouldn't be removing my coat wherever I went.

Volzfan, keep in mind my friend that you're showing respect to the office and not necessarily the occupant. I will go a step further and recommend that if you're the praying kind, that you say one daily for Obama and ask that God use him for good. There are plenty of accounts in the Bible of that very thing happening; a bad ruler used for good purposes.

Collection Purposes.

I'd be careful making comments like that. The proper avenue of attack is to oust them at the polls.

The GOP needs top-down firings courtesy of the constituents. Fire the old guys, bring in the fresh blood. There is a whole generation of "Reagan Republicans" out there comping at the bit to be given a chance. It's time the out of touch old farts be given their walking papers.

Waste of effort. It's time to revamp the GOP. They already have the infrastructure and the finances. Like it or not, there's a reason why third parties never get anywhere and never will. American politics is functionally a two party system and always will be.

To Lucky's defense... I just revised and activated that announcement last night. It will show up at the top of the forum pages every evening between 8pm - 10pm CST to remind folks.

Works fine. Maybe if you get that error message to Triple Digit, he can fix the Internets.

Slim, you really seem to be living in your own little world and nothing anyone says here is going to convince you any different. Rather than keep this crap going, why don't you move on to something else? I'm closing this thread. Troll elsewhere.

You should work for Microsoft.

Huh?

The course that they most assuredly will take. My theory is that that unopposed, it will progress something like this: 1st step... new, non-expiring "Assault Weapons" ban. 2nd step... serious taxation on ammo and firearms themselves. Likely parallel with the passing of the 1st step. 3rd step... government sponsored buy-backs 4th step... forced forfeiture and confiscation

I've come to understand that it's not always bad when you see a woman in a burqa.

The extending camera pod in the rear of the truck is obviously for peering over supermodels' privacy fences.

Whomever you name in the Trust.

Agreed. Yes but racist comments are not welcome here. There are plenty of narrow-minded forums for such things elsewhere. Here, we're at least going to try to maintain a margin of tact and decorum. Right now I realize that tensions are high among supporters of both candidates. There's no reason to stoop to the level that we've seen from some of Obama's supporters.

I just moved it to the main menu bar.

What he said.

I need to take a better picture of that one. It actually said "Rabbi Drooled Here" but the camera angle made that a pretty common misrepresentation.

There's a pretty funny story about that tat. Ask your mom about it sometime.

Unfortunately it sort of got real popular on sites like Glock Talk after the movie 300 came out. I still love the story of the Battle for Thermopylae and the defiant attitude of not giving in to one's adversary, so I'm still proud of the ink. It's a little more than just the words Μολὼν λαβέ though.

I'll ****ing stab you with a ****ing french fry.

I got mine way before they were cool. Way before the movie. Way before most people even knew what it meant.
