I like it!

Nothing, just the way I like it. Hopefully my wife won't get any bright ideas and it will stay that way.

(BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, MARCH 2011) -"With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that’s just not the case, because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed — we’ve got three branches of government.... Congress passes the law. The executive branch’s job is to enforce and implement those laws. And then the judiciary has to interpret the laws." ...

The changes you describe Dolomite were not accidental or incidental to the hiring of more veterans. I'll gladly wear my tinfoil hat on this one, but I think these moves were made intentionally to foster distance between LE and their communities. Personal liberties and constitutional rights are easier to bypass when those whose rights you are violating are "them" and not "us". When it comes time to really go all out, the Feds won't have any problems following those orders and more and more local LE won't either. I'll wear my tin foil hat with pride as at this point, I think 2 of the 3 branches of our government have proven themselves as enemies of the people. Yet still, most of the population of this country will be willingly led to slaughter with the promise of bread and circuses.

This is a really great article on Red State regarding the importance of this primary. http://www.redstate.com/earlgrey/2012/06/12/tennessee-house-district-45-a-primary-race-that-should-matter-to-all-tennessee-republicans/

Although there are plenty of justifications (excuses) made by .gov for no knock entries, the track record of innocent deaths due to errors are inexcusable. Even more inexcusable is the overuse (abuse) of no knocks and the total disregard for 4th amendment rights that cannot be separated from their use.

It could have the positive side effect of effectively ending the "no knock" warrants in Indiana.

I can believe that. You're lucky it wasn't a '80s Chevy, wouldn't have nothing but a bare frame left.

Spank, I too work retail and have employers rules in place to prevent carrying of a firearm on company property. A LCP in a pocket holster and keeping my mouth shut about it is my preferred solution. If things go south, I can find a new job, my family doesn't find me so easily replaceable.

The striker assembly is only available as a full assembly and is a restricted part available only to certified armorers'. The M&P will not fire when it is 1/4" out of battery. I'd send it back to S&W.

Seriously, just get the kit and be done with it.

Color me shocked. :|

have to say that I am not a fan of most Trijicon pistol sights, but those look really nice. They address the issue I have always had with their sights, in that the silver ring is hard for my eyes to pick up. I might just look into putting those on my M&P45 mid in FDE when it gets in.

I like my Meprolight Tru Dot sights that I have on my M&P9c. Easy acquisition, alignment and they are bright in the dark.

Cozy Corner is great, get a Cornish hen. No, seriously, do it, you won't regret it. To the OP; Gotta get Gus' too. Another little spot that is excellent is Alannah's Breakfast Kafe' on N. Main between Jefferson and Adams. Really good, soul food influenced southern cookin for more than just breakfast. Speaking of soul food, if you are feeling adventurous enough to brave the ghetto, hit up the Sack n Save on S. Third st. Some of the best soul food I have had in this city. I'm talking about slap yo mama good. If one night you just feel like grabbing a pizza, go to the Memphis Pizza Cafe on Madison in midtown for their crispy thin crusted pies of yum. If you want catfish head over to Soul Fish on Cooper and just down the street is one of my favorite places to grab a beer or a burger, The Young Avenue Deli. All of the places I have mentioned do not post for firearms either.

Still have to destroy the brain, a severed head can still present a bite risk.

On the subject of BBQ my favorite option is the BBQ Shop on Madison Avenue in the midtown area not far from downtown.

this x eleventy hundred. The Apex parts make it the gun it should have been from the factory. Tip: if you prefer a lighter trigger pull, leave the stock trigger return spring in. My M&P 9c has a 4# pull.

Hey, it is about all we got here, well that and a "target rich environment".

Mogadishu on the Mississippi!

This thread reminds me of what is probably Memphis' one redeeming quality. Our tap water is generally better than most bottled waters out there.

You don't read any of the news, politics or a significant portion of the general discussion threads do ya? It is all there if you can read between the lines.

Walgreens have become very popular targets lately. 3 or 4 of our stores in the Memphis area were hit by robbers going after Oxy in the last month or so.

I'd recommend http://www.rangeusa.com/. It is a nice range with friendly folks and good instructors.

Incorrect. Though Reagan never served overseas due to his severe nearsightedness, he enlisted in the Army reserves in 1937 and was on active duty during the war. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan#Military_service
