My PT1911 is my EDC. All the right features for a good price. The only thing I have/ am changing on it is the grips and putting a GI length guide rod in it. Both of those are more on the personal choice end of things.

5 closer now.

My wife's grandfather has one of these that he hates. I was wondering if anything can be done about the trigger, and what would be a fair price to offer on one that appears to be in excellent condition with only about a box put through it? He mentioned that he would gladly let it go this past weekend. I'm thinking it might fill the pocket carry role, but the trigger is just plain awful. Can they be improved in any meaningful way?

This is good. If only the groundwork would be laid to remove the prohibition against those who have been convicted of felonies and have completed the terms of their sentences.

Thanks, I just might send an email to my LP guy with that info. Approach it like "just an FYI, this sign is no longer required by law, can we take ours down to cut down on clutter?"

I can say with near certainty that this is not the case. We have a few customers who open carry at my store (in the heart of Midtown Memphis, lol) and one of my other managers questioned our policies on that as she didn't like it. She was told from on high to leave it alone as it is legal here and that we can to only ask them to cover the weapon if they receive a complaint from another customer. Walgreens isn't a gun friendly company (employees banned from having weapons on property) but it is more concerned with alienating customers. Things may be a different in Nashville, or more likely is that manager that OP spoke to was an idiot who was talking out of his ass. This is the most likely reason the sign just recently went up. Walgreens started selling beer in all stores just prior to the laws regarding carry changing. At that time we received an email with PDF files of the signs we needed to print out and hang. That sign was included in the group of signs to post. Some store managers were a little slower than others in posting all of the required signage. Nothing was ever sent out saying that sign was no longer required after the law change. It is likely that there was a store visit, and the store manager was told that he was missing some of his/her alcohol signs, and all of a sudden, that sign shows up along with the signs regarding underage sales and pregnant women drinking, etc.

MGM's financial problems have put the film in limbo and that irks me as it should have opened last weekend.

I figured that was the sign, That's why I wanted a picture before I started contacting folks. We have them up at ours still as well. Even though they are not required by law, that information hasn't made its way through all the channels to have the signs removed.

I am a Walgreens manager and I am checking into this as our company has no policy prohibiting carry. We take much the same line as Starbucks did last summer, we follow the local laws regarding carry and take no actions of our own regarding it. I would like to see that picture of the sign as soon as you can get it posted. That way I can have as complete set of the facts as I can before I start talking to folks in the Nashville Region regarding this issue.

After reading this... ...this seems to me to be the most appropriate response. The bolded portion especially pisses me off. It is jackholes like you that bow down and cower when tyrants come to rule all because they promise safety. People like you make me sick because you don't have enough of a pair to be able to stand up and take ownership of your own person. If this isn't stopped here and now, it will expand to where we are getting pornoscanned or sexually assaulted by government stooges every time we want to travel further than 5 feet from our front doors, and when that happens, have fun getting your vag probed.

Sipsey Street is one of a few blogs that I read of that nature. Vanderboegh has a few good things to say (esp. re:ATF shenanigans), but I also am aware of his glaring inconsistencies. Us gingers, always on the militant side, lol.

Damn gingers.

I don't decorate the interior, let alone the exterior.

Pun, at this point I am pretty much sure he is trolling.

Nope, I don't. BUT, nominees to be the Director of the BATFE must now face Senate confirmation hearings. That is a factor that can't be overlooked and is card that can be played to help our side in having a voice in who gets to lead the BATFE. Confirmation hearings can also be a way to bring up abuses and problems within the BATFE. We just have to make sure our Senators hear our voices loud and clear on the matter.

Wonder if we can get Steve Cohen to come speak?

Awesomesauce.

These days it seems to be averaging 2-3 weeks.

...Andrew Traver is NOT A FRIEND of ours. I would recommend contacting your Senators and letting them know that voting for this guy will be counted against them come election time. He is on the record as being against civilian ownership of semi-autos and has a documented history that should frighten anyone supportive of 2A rights. Obama Administration Caves to Brady Campaign on Traver ATF Nomination | The Truth About Guns Sipsey Street Irregulars: It is official -- Traver to be Chicago Gang's ATF Honcho. Only the NYT can't seem to spell his name right.

Thanks for the correction.

I actually think that is a bit of writing that shows true life fairly accurately. His tactical knowledge is represents his ability to survive. In a PAW, moral absolutists will likely have a lower chance of survival over those with the moral elasticity to do what's necessary. Rick is a moral absolutist and though he is the hero in this tale, his actions are continually putting people in danger or risking his family to do what is morally right. Shane won't do that. He has that ability to self justify doing whatever is necessary to survive, or to acquire what he desires (Lori & Carl).

Even though she knows her husband and what he was going to do, it didn't mean she had to like it or that she wouldn't try and convince him not to go.As far as Shane and the beating he handed Ed (Thanks Pun) that was solely predicated on the reappearance of Rick and the confrontation he just had with Lori. It didn't have a whole lot to do with the right and wrong of Ed beating his wife, but on Rick leaving behind his wife & family to rescue Darryl juxtaposed against Shane not being able to possess that same woman & family he desires. When Shane interceded, Ed just provided him an outlet for the anger he felt at Rick for not valuing Lori and Carl over everything else, including what he felt was right. And Lori's rejection of him for lying to her in an attempt to provide and protect her over what is right. That beating is foreshadowing the violence he wishes upon, and will eventually direct towards Rick.

I've said before and I will say it again, she has absolutely zero chance of winning a Presidential bid in '12. What she can do is act in the role of kingmaker for a Republican candidate and be a part of melding the TEA Party folks under the larger R umbrella. She might actually be a really good choice to replace Michael Steele as Chair of the RNC.

No, I'm a Memphis fan. The Vols are the only team I hate more than Ole' Miss. I will say that it is a good thing we are a basketball town. If I had to pin my sports hopes on our football team, I just might be forced to commit Seppuku.
