TGO David

Great stuff! Keep up the good work.

We're likewise grateful to have you with us.

What is this?

It's my position that we won't censor very many things here at TGO because it stifles the free exchange of information. That said, it is always appreciated when a member opts to censor themselves if the information being exchanged might not be in the best interest of the community. I'll let 0down's conscience be his guide.

It appears that the Tennessean has pulled the database from their web site. I suspect it's because usage was killing their server (the pages were horribly slow to load) more so than because they were pressured to remove it by the public.

We've already got a thread on this, so rather than duplicate our efforts, let's all join in over there instead...

Daewoo. They had (or have?) a pretty nice .223 rifle called a DR200 also. My brother bought one a few years back and I was pretty impressed with it as a cheaper alternative to the AR15 family. Used the same mags even. Edit... I found a picture of one: And here is their "Tri-Action" DH40 pistol...

Let 'em rip!

What I really want to know is, what value did the Tennessean think that they added to this article by making the public at large aware of data that is irrelevant to the scope of the article itself? That's the question that I will be posing to the author when I call them this morning.

It's sensationalism. The Tennessean has proven countless times that it is willing to go to any end to splatter sensationalist garbage on their front page so long as it appears that they are out there working the beat to get YOU the news that YOU deserve. I wouldn't line the bottom of a bird cage with their pathetic rag.

I just searched. I'm in there (of course) and thankfully it's just first name, middle name, last name and suffix being listed for anyone on file. If they had published my address or phone number, I'd be incredibly more pissed off than I am anyway. Being that this information is public domain, there's really not much that can be said or done about it. I think the biggest beef that the people in Virginia (wasn't it VA?) had was that their home addresses were being posted. Some of whom may have had relocated to avoid estranged spouses, jilted lovers, criminals or other such unsavory characters. If the Tennessean had done THAT, I'd be over at their offices right now hauling someone across a counter by their neck.

Very interesting. If Smith & Wesson doesn't satisfactorily resolve a minor problem we had with the M&P 9c (due back today) then we might have to investigate a P2000 9mm.

Can you give a feel for how big the P2000 is compared to say the XD40 Service, or the Glock 26?

Never mind... I received my USPSA new member packet and official ID# in the mail today. Looks like I am official now.

My thoughts: It's an anti-2nd Amendment article written by a person to whom traditional American values are alien, thinly veiled as an "I'm not making an opinion just yet ... but I really am" sort of column. Should be interesting to see what she writes next week.

I open carried on my way to and from the USPSA match the other night, out of necessity. Does that count?

Welcome! We've got a few Glock related threads here... most of them involving our pal Marswolf.

I've got nothing against Glocks except for the unsupported chamber design and even that's not a big deal to someone like me who used 100% factory loads in my Glock 27 and Glock 23. I think anti-Glock sentiment can sometimes be summed up as the 2nd Amendment version of Ford vs Chevy.

I'm usually pretty darn good with the M&P. This was my first time doing any sort of sustained fire with that particular 1911. I'd like to try it with the M&P next and see how I do. It's also the cheaper to practice with due to ammo expense.

Are they shooting Sunday since it's also Mother's Day or are they just shooting on Saturday this time?

I was issued a temporary pin with the USPSA but it has never worked. Someone at the meet on Friday night told me that there's a general login posted every month in the issue of Front Sight magazine. I haven't received my member packet yet alone the magazine yet. Would one of you other (fellow) USPSA members mind sending me a private message with this month's login? I'd like to see when scores are posted. Thanks

I missed it, but it's nice to hear that they gave the 2nd Amendment a fair shake.

What time does the match start on Saturday? If it's an early AM match then I'd like to see about going. I've got plans Saturday evening, though.
