  1. In this particular case that is what pardon means.
  2. So let me get this right. The very intelligent community of TGO is trying to convince me that the cops in this case sought out a young man with mental retardation to beat him to a pulp and high five each other. Come on guys, use some common sense!
  3. I'm not sure the cops are thugs or bafoons. I think it's a big misunderstanding that ended with a terrible outcome. Put yourself in the officer's shoes for just a moment. You ask a guy some questions who is not cooperating, tries to flee, strikes an officer. That's all bad for the cops. We have the benefit of known the guy has a mental retardation. I think I can spot a person with downes pretty easily, but it's 9pm dark and the guy looks suspicious. I might agree that there could be an officer on the planet that would possibly do harm to this guy intentionally, but I would be shocked if there was even one. There were two officers on the scene and both decided it was time to use force. I think we don't give our officers enough credit these day. In the same situation had the guy had a bag of drugs walking towards a school we would be offering them a medal and promotion. But because they made a poor assessment of his mental aptitude now they are buffoons and or criminals.
  4. Just to be clear a pardon according to Wikipedia is: A pardon does not mean not guilty it means he has served his time, came to Jesus, etc.
  5. I have always been on the side of more gun rights for all. Not this time. If I'm understanding it right the guy committed a felony served his time and was pardoned meaning guilty, but the state let him go. The only time I would agree to restore gun rights is if he was found not guilty at a later date.
  6. I was busy today so just got it put together around 9pm. It sitting in the kitchen with a steady 72 degrees. I'll set it outside tomorrow and see what happens.
  7. I'm gonna try it tonight with my five year old. If I can get it setup I'll let you know how it goes.

    GSG-5

    What happens when you put it on full auto with the Airsoft lower? I'm sure it's still single shot, but a guy can dream.
  9. Cool video on cheap powerless refrigeration.
  10. I have an Echo1 Platinum edition. It shoots about 390 FPS out of the box. Most Airsoft fields have a limit of 425 FPS for AEGs (automatic electric gun) and that's what you want to look for in a rifle. If you buy a Classic Army or Tokyo Mauri you will be forced to upgrade the internals to get it up to speed. Most of the CA and TMs shoot around 300 or less FPS because Japanese field limits are much lower than in the U.S. KWA and Echo1 have the best quality and decent out of the box FPS combination. JG gives up a lot on quality, but they are probably the best budget ($120 or so) high FPS out of the box gun. I would find a field and play a few games with rented gear to decide what you want to buy. If you have a real AR15 than an M4 Airsoft gun makes sense but they do tend to be more expensive than say an MP5 or less popular model.
  11. I did get the 700 on Monday. I may give Bud's another chance in the distant future, but it would have to be a pretty good deal for me. The other shop I went with was actually $20 cheaper than Bud's.
  12. I always get my shotguns with no serial number from Mark at the drug house and the tell the cops. Doesn't everyone?
  13. I tried to convince my wife to carry a semi auto. In the amount of time it took her to shoot five rounds through her LCR and get 5 more rounds loaded I had 21 on the target with my spare mag close by. I do carry her LCR for those times I'm just wanting a pocket gun or a quick trip to Walgrees.
  14. Welcome. My brother spent 4 years at Ft Jackson. He started as an instructor and moved on to a DI.
  15. Who never graduated from college? Well he never proved it by releasing records anyway.
  16. "I think they believe we are actually here to help... muah haa ha!"
  17. I would carry a business card that says: "yeah probably not a good idea, but who cares if I scare people" "oh and don't lock down the school"
  18. Just a barrel shroud to hide the pencil barrel and make it look even cooler.
  19. Looks good. I have a GSG5 and the plastic bolt assembly is the one thing I dislike. It does however take all HK parts. I have an HK rail for my red dot scope and an aftermarket HK folding stock.
  20. The difference between this idiot and former presidents is all the ones prior had good intentions. This guy is trying to destroy this place we have called America for 200 years. He resents everything that is America. He not only wants to take my wealth and give it to less fortunate people, he also wants to give the countries wealth to less fortunate countries. He shuts down NASA because that is one more thing that makes America far superior to any other country. I would not be surprised if his biggest "spending cuts" are in the Olympic program next year. He doubles the national debt in 2.5 years. It took us 200 years to get to the point where this moron took over. He and the libs just want to cut defense spending....why? Because it makes us less safe. I dare anyone to tell me one thing Obama has done that is good for the country. And I dont want to hear killed Osama. If Obama was president on 9/11/01 we would not have had the intelligence community in place, Guantanimo Bay would not be the place it is and water boarding would have been a thing of the past.
  21. If you use it for the wrong caliber, eventually it won't clean the .40. You can bend and compress the Brush enough that it won't even contact the barrel on all sides for the .40. I have one in each caliber I own.
  22. Why would you ever not be truthful to an officer if you were not breaking the law. Not being truthful would be a mistake that could lead to a serious misunderstanding!
  23. I wonder if he prayed to allah before eating that cheeseburger.
  24. I understand the concept of drop shipping and let me be clear I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE SHIP TIME! I care about not being told what the ship time is until my card is charged. I was also told by John that they have 37 of the rifle I ordered.
  25. This is just one of the many ways Obama and his wife have disrespected the office, the people, and lately the flag.
