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

The generalizing I am doing about the GOP is why the actions at the local level you are referring to are needed. The national party machine is corrupted. Many of the state party machines are the same, look no further than Nashville for evidence of that here in TN.

Kieefer, one thing to take into account is that there is a significant contingent of Paul supporters who don't identify with the rest of the Republican party, myself being one of them. The Republican party is as soulless and corrupt as the Democrats, the only reason I will likely be voting for Romney this fall is that Obama cannot be allowed to place another justice on the SCOTUS. With Romney we have a chance of getting a conservative justice. At this point, both congress and the white house are enemies of the people and the republic. The SCOTUS is the last hope we have of keeping the other two branches from going whole hog into tyranny. For me at least, the only reason the Republican Party is even getting a chance is that they are more pliable to the kind of internal reforms that will make it possible to change the party to one that actually respects individual liberty as opposed to just paying lip service.

This, absolutely this. I consider myself a Libertarian and I think we have wasted our resources and energy fielding a Presidential Candidate every 4 years. Want to make a difference? Field candidates in local elections, put small government folks on the city councils, county commissions and then in the state legislatures. Continue to vote for whomever you need to so as to safeguard the Supreme Court, but always be working towards making the Republicans irrelevant if they won't reform.

I am a fervent Paul supporter, however I think that the "Paul or nobody" crowd are a bit misguided. Instead of taking your ball and going home when Paul doesn't get the nomination, realize that he has built a coalition of like minded, libertarian folks under the Republican banner who can reform the party from the inside out. A coalition that can bring together people to elect politicians who will actually respect constitutionally recognized liberties, instead of just paying lip service to them while selling the people out.

I know, right?

Apex Tactical makes aftermarket parts that greatly improve the action of the trigger. The Apex parts create a lighter, smoother trigger pull that many shooters say makes for a more enjoyable shooting experience and for me personally, has helped improve my accuracy with my M&P.

Operative words are "at the moment". They have before, and I am expecting them to try again.

That cop who's leg he's touching is looking over at him like "what in the hell...?"

Just to make sure that we don't put him on a needlessly high pedestal, notice that he only mentions state and local gov'ts. Leaves out the fed.gov from that one. Don't blame him either, he knows who butters his bread.

I got no words for this one.
