So, if a million protestors showing up in the capital of a country is reason for the leader to resign (i.e Mubarak and Gadhafi as per B.H. Obama), why didn't he resign when the Tea Party folks showed up to protest Obamacare?

The truth is, I really liked Bush for the first 4 years. In the second 4 , yes a##hole would describe him. My real point is that Obama is doing exactly what he criticized and ran against, along with the rest of the Democratic party. Actually, there is far less justification for us getting involved in this than there was in the Iraq situation. Obama has given our military over to the UN with no American interest whatsoever. WTF?

MARCH 19, 2011 OBAMA: 'Today we are part of a broad coalition. We are answering the calls of a threatened people. And we are acting in the interests of the United States and the world'... MARCH 19, 2003 BUSH: 'American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger'...

$1.4 million to be exact. Estimates place the cost of a 6 month Libyan "No Fly Zone" at $9 Billion. Maybe the Japanese will loan us some.

I guess I must be "Mis-remembering" some of my history because here's the way I remember it. A) Libyan backed terrorists killed Americans and when Ronald Reagan wanted to retaliate, France refused access to their airspace. The liberals, including Obama, said that we had no right to attack Iraq, because they didn't attack us (did we get attacked by Libya recently?) C) The liberals said Sadam Hussein had every right to kill his own people without America getting involved in their "internal matters" D) The French won't help us in our wars, but I guess we need to play lapdog to them when they want to start a war. E) Wasn't helping "Islamic Freedom Fighters" how we gave Osama BinLaden his "street cred" in fighting the Soviets in Afghanastan? I guess I'm just too uninformed to make judgements about this situation, but are we gonna start sending Tomahawks every time The Crips and the Bloods start a gang fight?

I've never switched out the grips on any of my Glocks, can you show me how?

DT McCall and Son's in Carthage, TN has great prices on Liberty safes (best I've even seen and you can even order via the Interwebz) and the have free delivery and setup within 125 miles of their store. Depending on which part of Chattanooga you live in, you may be within that range (it's 132 miles to the center of Chattanooga). The Fatboy Jr is $1200.00 right now and the Fatboy is $1800.00 try to beat that with free delivery and setup.

So, we're on a gun site and background checks is winning in the polls. I think we ought to pass background checks for all our rights. Want to post on the internet? Background check! Want to go to a religious service? Background check! Want to keep the government from entering your house without a warrant? Background check! Want a jury of your peers? Background check! A limited right is in effect a privilege and if they take this right away, all the others will follow.

My understanding is that S&W dropped their prices recently without letting FFL's know it was about to happen. Therefore, some FFL's got stuck with weapons that they paid a premium price for and are trying to get their money back. The new retail price is actually lower than the old wholesale price and it has created a lot of anger among gun dealers.

The key phrase in this is "reward states that keep the best data". That can mean almost anything, none of it good. But remember, it's for the children.

Just an update: Finally got my mag from CDNN delivered to D&T Arms. Just wanted to given another thumbs up to David and his crew. They went way above and beyond what I would have considered necessary, with my greatest appreciation. I just can't say enough good things about the way they handled everything.

I have avoided buying Taurus pistols, not because of bad quality, but because of bad customer service. Hope your experience means that they have changed for the better. Traditionally the Taurus Lifetime Warranty meant you'd be waiting a lifetime before you got your weapon back.

While I hate that I agree with the court, I actually do. I'm glad the court is finally starting, albeit very slowly, to restore our Bill of Rights to a closer resemblance to what our forefathers envisioned. That being said, I wish the legislatures wouldn't put handcuffs on the people who want the beat the living hell out of the protesters. The Constitution does not limit the anger of the people, state legislatures do.

Welcome to TGO. All the suggestions given are great and I wish you well in your shotty build. One thing you need to keep in mind though is that you live in Maryland, which has some of the strictest anti-gun laws in the country. You need to be very sure about the legality of any modifications before you make a purchase. Even possesing the parts without putting together is considered an infraction if they are illegal to be constructed. The last thing any of us would want to do is get a well meaning 17 year old, or his father, in a butt load of trouble. This is a mainly Tennessee site and therefore very few of us would be familiar with Maryland law and most of us would avoid the state like the plague.

Having worked in a burn center, I wouldn't get too excited too quickly. First, I have seen these "breakthroughs" come and go throughout the years without ever coming to fruition. Secondly, contrary to what the filmmaker wants you to believe, there is only "anecdotal" evidence that this has worked, no true double-blinded placebo controlled trials to compare people treated with the gun versus people not treated with the gun (that's where most of these "miracle" cures fizzle out). And lastly, even Dr. Gurlach states that he still doesn't have his prototype completed. This video is very similar to the statements made about embryonic stem cell research, where results get announced before the trial actually takes place. Good science doesn't work that way.

Hey, he wanted to know what the law is, not me:D

One thing that did piss me off was when Target asked to "scan" the bar code on the back of my drivers license in order to buy an "R" rated movie. I told them to keep the damned thing. There is no way that I'm gonna let them have that much of my personal information, and store it in their computer bank, in order to buy a damned movie, especially when there is no legal requirement for doing so.

Even better when I get carded for cigs.

One piece of advise, don't do it!!!! Although easily concealable, this may be the most uncomfortable and impractical carry method ever devised. It's basically only useful if you're kidnapped and thrown in the back of a car, lying down on a blanket in the park, or becoming a professional gambler ala Doc Holliday. If you happen to be standing up during a confrontation, you're screwed. Hey, I've tried it and it failed miserably. Others may have different experience, but mine is very similar to even the great Massad Ayoob (although I would never consider my opinion even in the same universe with his).

Anybody know a good source for a CZ 52. Not seeing many for sell other than gunbroker and they seem a bit high on price, there.

Thanks Dave. I know that this transfer netted less than minimum wage for you and your employees and appreciate it very much. I had the guy from CDNN email me the form and will bring it by. However, in spite of this good conclusion, I must say that I will never order from them again. I asked the guy to email me the form and I simply said to him: "I just want you to know that I am pissed about you making me go through all these hoops to get my product especially since this is my very first order from you and I was planning to make more. I have never had a company make me go through this before." Then he all but accused me of stealing from him saying "Sounds like you have had too may orders not have everything in them and asking for more". WTF? Is this the way these guys do business? Has anybody else had any dealings with them? The last time I stole something, I was in 3rd grade and my mother made me go back to the store and appologize to the manager (still remember it to this day). I just can't believe this guy made such an accusation. Anyway, I would avoid them like the plague, unless being insulted is your ultimate goal.

CDNN doesn't do transfers to C&R holders and the price was hard to beat. I used my debit card, not sure if I can take the charge off it.

The info on the ATF site is confusing. Do I get the CLEO to sign my form and send it to them myself or is he supposed to send it to them from his office separately? Inquiring minds want to know.
