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.

What parts are you looking for?

I called Guns & Leather a while back about a backup iron sight for mine. They had one in stock but the price was a bit high. You might check with them for things that you're looking for as they are relatively close to you.

Moody, glad to see that you made it over here.

Something that my grandfather once told me after I got my carry permit years ago still echoes in my ears today: "Don't start carrying your balls around in that holster." Very simple, sage advice. The day that carrying a gun makes you feel 10ft tall and bullet proof is the day that you need to get things back into perspective QUICK before someone else does it for you.

Welcommen.

Drop me a PM and let me know which ones strike you that way. I definitely don't want that to be the case here.

And it didn't take long for me to find a better set of icons. Everyone will need to clear their web browser cache in order to see it, or at least force their web browser to load the new icons on that particular page. Just go to the PM Box page and then hold down the Shift key on your keyboard while you click the Refresh icon on your web browser. That will force the new icons to load.

I do see what you're saying. And for some goofy reason that's the way that the default icons look in the software. I can easily change it, but maybe I'll use some better icons when I do.

It sounds like a perfect heirloom that could be passed down to the son when he's of age. As long as momma is on board with it, I think it's a wonderful idea.

Five. And before anyone says it, I've already heard it a dozen times. Don't buy anymore guns, don't eat fast food, save my pennies, go to a training class. Yeah yeah yeah, I know.

I suspect many of this nation's framing fathers have rolled in their graves countless times over the way our government has abused it's authority since their day and age.

I'm not sure how long the wait was for her, but it was a while. She got it taken care of and now just has to go get fingerprinted.

I found this elsewhere and am posting it here because it really resonated with me... An Armed Person is a Citizen; An Unarmed Person is a Subject by Jon Pananas at 6:40 PM Contrary to the belief of many of our fellow citizens, the purpose of the United States Constitution is not to grant us rights. Our rights, given to us by our Creator, are inalienable. The purpose of the Constitution is to limit the powers of the federal government. Look at the language of the Bill of Rights. It is chock full of “shall not” and “shall make no;” all of which refer to the United States government. Our explicit rights, that is, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are contingent wholly upon our implicit right: the right of the people to keep and bear arms. The intent of the Second Amendment is to preserve and guarantee, not grant, a pre-existing right; again, the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Arms, by which we mean guns, allow the free citizen to exercise self-defense; to protect one’s self from predators of various stripes, be they criminal malefactors or rapacious government. St. George Tucker—Revolutionary War officer and later U.S. District Judge—in his Blackstone’s Commentaries of 1803 wrote that “the right of self-defense is the first law of nature.” The Fourth Amendment—“The right of the people to be secure in their person, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizure, shall not be violated”—would be hollow prose without the Second Amendment to give it teeth. This concept was recognized very early by the Framers. Noah Webster wrote in 1787, “Before any standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States…[The people] will instantly inspire the inclination to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive.” This sentiment was expressed best, perhaps, by one of Virginia’s favorite sons. In 1788, Patrick Henry wrote, “Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches this jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.” Certainly guns have enormous recreational uses and add hugely to the sporting life of our people. But the intent of the Framers was not to safeguard the rights of target shooters and duck hunters. It was to preserve our freedoms from an aggressive government. Keep in mind that the Framers were insurrectionists. They were well acquainted with the realities of oppressive rule and were determined to give the citizens of this republic the tools necessary to preserve and protect their freedoms. The Constitution is a document of unique concepts and principles. But it will provide the framework for the Rule of Law in this country only so long as we remain an armed citizenry and do not allow ourselves to become unarmed serfs.

Small and lightweight = J-Frame. Maybe even a Kahr PM9.
