I just got off of the phone with the BATFE in West Virginia and they told me that my Form 1 status went Pending on September 3rd. She told me to call back in a few weeks if I hadn't already received my paperwork and that she would be happy to check again. As before, these folks were tremendously pleasant to deal with. I wish all government agencies were this helpful.

I have Magpul ladder covers on my LaRue rail but will probably be ordering some Magpul XTR covers to use on at least the sides and bottom. The ladder covers really don't do much for your hands as the barrel and gas tube get hotter. Of course I'm also running a Tango Down stubby fore grip and will likely wear gloves when I shoot the SBR so heat shouldn't be that much of a problem for me... but your experience may vary. All the cool kids wear gloves when they shoot SBRs.

As long as your engraver is able to achieve the mandated minimum depth of engraving into the material, you are fine. I have yet to find a trophy shop who said that they couldn't engrave an aluminum receiver. Many told me that they routinely engrave stainless and sterling steel odds and ends for customers with no problems. If their gear will handle those harder materials, they won't have problems with an aluminum AR-15 lower. That being said, I think Orion still has the nicest engravings and they certainly meet the minimum specs.

Well if he knew who he didn't know, then he would know them. You know?

Williamson County Commission to Consider Attack on Right-to-Carry on Monday, September Please Stand-Up and Make Your Voice Heard! On Monday, September 8, the Williamson County Commission will hear an anti-gun proposal, Resolution No. 9-08-31. Resolution No. 9-08-31 attempts to impose new restrictions on law-abiding citizens’ Right-to-Carry in Williamson County. Resolution No. 9-08-31 would establish a policy prohibiting guns in all buildings owned and controlled by Williamson County and to direct signs providing notice be posted at the entrance ways of each building. Passing this resolution will do nothing to thwart violent crime, but instead will create an ambiguous boundary preventing law-abiding citizens from carrying a firearm for self-defense even where they have a legal right to be. Please click here to view the packet of September Resolutions. Resolution No. 9-08-31 can be found on Page 54 of 57. This proposal will require a Majority (13 of 24 Commissioners) to pass or fail. Please attend this meeting at 7:00 P.M. on Monday, September 8 in the auditorium of the Williamson County Administrative Building, located at 1320 West Main Street in Franklin, to show your opposition to this attack on Right-to-Carry. If you are unable to attend, please contact your County Commissioner in opposition of Resolution No. 9-08-31. Contact information can be found below.

I was getting ready to change Verbal's title to Turd Burglar but since he's a benefactor, he'd just change it back.

Reasons you might want to become an authorized vendor on TGO... http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/faq.php?faq=general#faq_general_advertising

It appears that the current trend is for the tax stamp to be in your hands about 30 days from the date you go pending.

It works as advertised. Just copy and paste. Not sure why it didn't work for the OP.

Flashbangs for the latrine, then.

Well crap. We're going to need a ruling on the field.

FWIW... I will do my best to bring some wasp / hornet spray with me but would encourage anyone else who wants to do so also. I have no idea if the club has already addressed the issue with hornets building nests in the berms or not.

I watched the broadcast on Fox last night. I don't recall Hannity using that line at all.

The media is given copies of the script before the speech is actually delivered. This way they have talking points to work from. Also, change your signature. Mike gets to free himself in a few days.

They do serve beer on site.

I meant to DVR that.

It's funny, Mars. I've been saying those exact same things to people all morning here at work and on a couple of other forums. Rudy did all of the heavy hitting last night that was needed from the podium. He did a fine job of beating down the Obama / Biden ticket. Palin really only needed to spend about 10 minutes of her speach addressing the bull**** claims that the Dems and Liberal media have been lodging against her. After that, it would have been better use of her time (and ours) if she had started addressing the issues and telling us what she and McCain plan to do to turn things around. I think we all agree that this country needs some CHANGE. But as Rudy pointed out, there is GOOD change and then there is BAD change. Obviously we want GOOD change, so I want to know how this GOP ticket plans to set it into motion. Let's hear about the foreign and domestic policy changes! After a while her barbs and one liners started to bore me. It was like watching a Dennis Miller segment. Sure, she let loose with some intellectual right hooks but at the end I was left with the impression that I had just witnessed a smart person make a dumb person look... well... dumb. Lots of spark, not much fire.

Real people? Ok...

Combine the sports! Take your rifle and shoot at the bikes as they whiz by.

It was a good speech and I'm a supporter ... but I got bored of the one-liners and coy remarks about Obama. It was kind of like watching Mike Tyson work over the highschool bully. Sure, she kicked his ass but after a while you just want to see the heavyweight stop smacking around the punk ass kid. Y'know?

Is "killing it" a good thing or a bad thing?
