Yea, I want a full range report. Uh, please. :D I have been eye balling this gun since they announced it as well.

Congrats dude. I can't (but can at the same time) wait to welcome my first.

But in reality will only lead to an explosion in the use of Internet anonymizers and other proxies in order to avoid paying a tax whose implementation defies logic. At least until the Supreme Court rules it unconstitutional.

  Just wait until they "fix" YouTube. Then you'll really be hosed.

  Like DL said above me, no money. And any prizes that are awarded are by random drawing, not by ranking in the match.

Ok, you talked me into it. #73, two-tone blade.

  Always a classic. It's hard to decide which of his split personalities I admire more: SPECED or GEEK045.

I have heard that different instructors teach different things, so to clear it up, you DO NOT have a duty to inform a police officer that you are carrying when they make contact with you. I do, but only because I hope it will buy me goodwill that might get me out of a speeding ticket. Success rate is around 80% so far, so I'm gonna keep doing it.   If you didn't come from another state where you had a carry permit, you will probably find yourself touching your gun a lot to make sure it's still there/in place. This will pass as you carry more.   Carry enough that get used to doing so, but never complacent. You don't want to find yourself staring down a rookie cop's AR/M16 because you carried somewhere you shouldn't. It happens.   Fly with your guns. Once you've done it a couple of times, it's no big deal. Different airports will handle it slightly differently, but within the same legal context. For example, some airports will have the TSA agent come to the ticket counter to do their thing, and others will have you escort the bag and agent to a room where they do their thing. Just budget a little extra time for it and you'll be fine.   In Tennessee, but not all states, "No guns" signs carry the weight of law, meaning don't enter while carrying. Most of the time if you do and are discovered, you'll simply be asked to leave and that will be the end of it. If the cops are called, they do have the right to cite you for something. I've never been in the situation so I don't know for what.   Practice your draw deliberately leaving your booger hook off the bang switch. Make this as natural as moving your foot from the gas to the brake pedal in your car. Don't ever, ever let yourself get into the habit of drawing with your finger on the trigger or you'll end up like ole Tex Grebner. (Search for him on YouTube if you don't know who he is.)   Above all, stay safe and keep your head on a swivel. Don't go looking for trouble, but be prepared should it come looking for you. There are surely more tips, but I don't want to hurt my puny little brain trying to think of them all.

  They didn't build that.

We are losing more to suicide than to combat. It's time to end this senseless, endless, mindless, stupid ass war and bring our boys home. Damn, I'm sorry to hear about this and the other 21 that took their lives that same day. I hope his family and friends can find peace somehow.

The lighter, more fuel efficient, yet more powerful motor is here and it is here to stay. Many manufacturers are making 4 and 6 cylinders that put out 400hp and more, or are close to debuting them. They may not give you that V8 rumble that we all know and love, but you can't argue that you get more bang for your buck when you're carrying less weight and still delivering all that power to the wheels.

You're welcome. Just doing my part. :jester:

Well damn, I guess Georgia ain't all bad after all. ;)

There's a dude that does it in a kiosk in the mall. Did my daughter's old iPhone. It needed to be taken back, but he fixed it and didn't attempt to charge us again.

I was kinda wondering myself if I had missed something in that post. Yea, we can't help with TFA problems.

Looks like you're off to a pretty good start. Can't wait to see the finished product.

That's a nice looking bullpup there.

You just never know about people, do you?

Ninja, just remember, we're an opinionated bunch, but we're also all right. TGO is a great forum and I hope you'll stick around, learn some more, and when the time comes, teach us something as well.

I'm interested. How many can be used to make tea? In S.E.R.E. school the instructor said that about approximately half the plants. :D

  That is exactly the first thing I noticed as well. If I was Beretta, there is no way in h-e-double-hockey-sticks I would hold a hiring event at a college. I would hold it at a gun store, or a range; somewhere where people who support my business go.

  That's the question that is never asked by the media. I would bet a month's pay that 99% of the shootings mentioned were by people that already had a felony conviction.

I don't for a second believe the claim that it won't affect your night vision. It's white light. Even when it's "dim" it's pretty bright. That's going to affect your night vision. But, I do like the idea. The part where the guy is looking at the paper is a perfect example of where most flashlights are just too bright.

Incredible. I can't imagine what you have gone through, but I'll bet you feel like a new man. The real question everyone wants to know though, is can you go to the range? That's what it's all about, isn't it? ;)   Seriously though, this is a truly inspirational story. Glad you made it through like you did.

Yea, this is the one bad part about having a pooch. Here's hoping that Bogey gives you a little bit longer, and vice versa, of course.
