Agreed 1,000% on both fronts.

*sigh* I consider myself to be pretty Libertarian in ideals. Live and let live. Less government. More personal responsibility. Blah blah blah. The problem with voting Libertarian is that doing so is futile at this point. Sure, voting 3rd Party makes for some great anti-establishment chest beating and maybe makes you feel good about not being a cog in the machine, but come November 3rd when you have to wake up and practice saying the words "President Obama" all of that feel-good posturing pretty much goes out the ****ing window. I am not happy about voting for McCain. I hate the fact that George W. Bush's second term was an utter failure. It has done more for the Democrats in '08 than anything else could have. Somewhere along the way since 2004, Shrub forgot how to hold the line and started scrambling around trying to make everyone happy (impossible) and ended up pissing off the people who elected him in the first place. So do I relish the idea of voting McCain into office? No. But I absolutely abhor the idea of voting Obama into office and will cast my one vote in the most effective way possible to ensure that he has an uphill battle getting there. And despite the most earnest dreams of every 3rd Party, Anti-Obama voter out there, that means casting a ballot for McCain. Because in the real world he is the only person who stands half a chance of defeating Obama at the polls. I may be letting myself be "used" by the GOP, but I'm at least refusing to surrender to the Hype, Hope, Change rhetoric of the Obama machine.

I still giggle when I see the Springfield ads in magazines showing a couple of thumbs with helmets on them. Thumb Safeties.

Looks like my wait officially begins today.

One of these days (soon I guess) I am going to have to get into the black art of reloading my own ammo. In the meantime I thought it might be fun and educational to see photos of reloading benches. Post 'em up if you have 'em!

It's a little known fact that one of us flipped the photo for our avatar. We were actually shooting at each other in the original photo. We're so tactical, that's how we train.

Ignore the noise in the thread. Your questions were legitimate and others sought to spoil the thread by using it to make a statement. This soon will pass and we'll all be able to get back to just enjoying talking about guns without any of the schoolyard politics.

Hmmm... be hit with a heavy slow moving projectile, or be hit with a small fast moving projectile... decisions, decisions!

Made entirely of ceramic. Costs more than most people make in a month.

I think he's allergic to .45ACP

Verbal forgot the most important part of the Glock... you can leave it in your hotel room, because "no one will steal it... it's just a Glock." Beyotch!

Jason, let's all be thankful it wasn't a bowling ball or pair of golf cleats.

I'm going to assume you're supportive of this. If so, thanks. It simply is not fair to our supporting vendors to keep allowing this childish underhanded advertising to happen without being addressed. These vendors have been exceedingly patient as the Staff has tried to handle it with at least a little diplomacy. My diplomacy has run dry. It has to stop.

Your research mirrors my own. When you get yours, post pics!

My bad. You know, just because I already have the reputation of being a dick in respect to this stuff... I'm going to start charging people for advertising every time they try to get one in for Rabbi. Rabbi is no longer a vendor here because of the misleading information he thought was funny to include in his for sale posts and subsequently refusing to remove that stuff when asked and then ordered to do so. If you guys are going to be cute and try to post thinly veiled references to his shop, then I'm going to start invoicing you for a month's advertising each time it happens. And when you refuse to pay for the advertising, you'll be banned for posting unsolicited commercial ads exactly as HE was banned for doing so. This stuff stops now or heads start rolling. We have vendors who have chosen to support this site and who operate with the utmost of integrity and offer our members tremendous deals, often at better price points than they give to "walk-ins". We will absolutely protect their investment in our forum by ensuring that everyone plays by the rules. And you can take that and go back to TN Civil Society and bitch and whine about it all you want. But you won't be bitching about it here if you refuse to cease. Period.

Don't let the pet-door hit you where the good Lord split you.

And just because no Glock thread can ever have enough Kool Aid...

Shouldn't you be in the kitchen? PS: For the benefit of the people on Rabbi's short bus, whenever I make fun of Valkyrie it's a family ordeal. It's not me "not playing nice" ... PSS: Seriously, get your ass in the kitchen.

Wait... what? I didn't sign any contract like that!!!

The recent posts in this thread have been a good source of laughter around my house. Slug, just be happy that a stiff breeze produced that particular anomaly. Usually men experience... shrinkage... when things get cold and breezy.

My Remington 7600 does a good job of working my shoulder over after a couple magazines worth of shooting. Let us know how your choice of recoil pads works out for you. I hadn't even heard of the new SuperCell thing until now.

Cool. If you've shot much at all, the qualifier should be a cake walk.

Thanks for the review! I'm very interested in hearing about your Handgun III experiences down the road.

I can point him to several of our authorized vendors also. It's always nice to support those who support us here at TGO. Coal Creek Armory Goodlettsville Gun Shop Guns and Leather Hero Gear Skip's Firearms Gallatin Gun Shop isn't too far from Nashville's East Side either.

Your honor, I submit that I was inspecting her flotation devices... but I happened to notice that the left-most one was at risk of being attacked by a midget with a baseball bat. I felt it was prudent to point this out for the safety of all on the watercraft at that moment. Defense rests! PS: My wife may kill me now, but at least I'll die a known heterosexual.
