Hang in there, man. The doctors don't have the final word; the Big Man upstairs does.

I'm just thankful that it's not a picture of Reef shooting with his dork like he said he did this past weekend.

Welcome! You've moved to God's Country.

Guys, let's be courteous and thankful that Tactical Response is making this class available to the folks here who wish to take advantage of it. Thanks.

I have never been to a Bill Goodman show. I'd like to give it a whirl sometime soon, though. The Bob Pope shows have gotten pretty lame as of late.

You might be surprised. I'd really try for a 9mm if I were in your shoes. A 9mm can definitely be a good defensive weapon and target ammo is really cheap for it too. I think I'd shop for a Glock 19 (9mm) and specifically look for some that were law enforcement trade-ins from someplace like CDNN Investments or a local gunshop. LE trade-ins are usually in very good shape because (a.) they see more time inside of a holster than out, and (b.) they are usually maintained as part of a routine by the agency's armorer. I bet you could get a Glock 19 like this for $300... $300 and change. PS: CDNN's website doesn't show their stock of firearms, but their catalog (available for download as a PDF) does and they can definitely tell you what they have if you call them.

In that price range, if you're wanting something to take shooting and to carry for protection eventually, I'd recommend a .357 revolver. Taurus makes several that are close to that price point. If you can spare another $100 or so, you could work on finding a nearly new or even maybe brand new 9mm or .40sw semi-auto of some sort.

Glad to have you with us, Rabbit. If we see any black pellets laying around, we'll know who was visiting. And yes you're right... very windy outside today. Good opportunity to get some wind burn, an ear ache and to study the effect of wind sheer on ballistics.

Sean is good people. I'm glad he made it over here, even if he doesn't have a gun of his own ... yet.

Holy crap.

I'd really hate to think of what a district attorney could make out of a person who used deadly force in self defense but was carrying a "CCW badge" clipped to their belt. Talk about giving some overzealous prosecutor all the ammo he or she might need to paint you as an armchair warrior out looking to pop a hole in someone. Bad idea. Seriously bad idea.

Have you called them to ask what the true status of your order is?

It can be arranged.

Tom Turkey doesn't stand a chance against that.

I need to get my YHM forearm put on the AR. I just put the ARMS #40 flip-up BUIS on last week, as a compliment to the red-dot SPOT optics. What optics are you thinking about?

I couldn't have said that better!

Welcome!

Maybe he's riding.

I'd like to use some spray on that idiot.

Couldn't have said it better.

You've got it. I hope to hear about a speedy recovery soon.

I can see where learning to pull the trigger with your middle finger, thumb, pinkie, ring finger or big toe might be beneficial the same way that learning to shoot with your off-hand is beneficial. Versatility could come in handy at some point.

I'm not picking on you but I am using this to illustrate a point. This line is getting old and several members have complained about being chided with similar remarks from various parties. It needs to cease from all parties involved as it is dampening the spirit of what this forum is about. Thanks.

Call back and ask to speak with someone else. I have heard plenty of stories about folks calling and getting much nicer, more accommodating employees who were more than happy to check for them.
