Careful, it could still happen. I'd keep an eye on Caster, I've heard he's down with some man love.

We all are. I'm down in Enterprise, Al for a few days. I found a little local place and tried their blackened fish. Perty darn tasty.

Do you think if the sale had happened the guy would have tried to hug you? But seriously, people just suck sometimes. I've had it happen but thankfully never on TGO.

Man claiming SYG in TX after initiating confrontation
Mr. Brooks replied to TMF's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I agree 100% with the above. And it's exactly what I've been trying to say. Poorly, apparently. -
Man claiming SYG in TX after initiating confrontation
Mr. Brooks replied to TMF's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
What drunken redneck are you talking about? From what I read it seems like the guy with a gun was the sober one. I'm glad you are confident in your abilities, but as the saying goes there is always someone better and faster. If this had taken place at my house it would have looked like this; Guy with gun shows up and asks me to turn the music down. I say "no problem sir, have a nice night" Then he goes home. I go inside, turn the music down and call the police, crack another beer and watch the show as the Leo's arrest said neighbor. After all, if I'm drinking my guns are locked up so I wouldn't be able to draw it anyway. Edit: No capitulating, no begging, and nobody dies. Ymmv -
Man claiming SYG in TX after initiating confrontation

Actually the guy didn't wait, him and his buddies decided to physically assault the guy and got themselves shot for their efforts. There is a good chance if they hadn't escalated the situation they would still be alive and the neighbor would have been charged with brandishing. If a guy shows up on your property and already has his gun out, all your likely to accomplish by trying to pull your own is to get yourself shot. I think your kids would rather having you breathing then watch you be shot to death. But at the end of the day, it's your choice to make. I pray that if you ever find yourself in that situation you are faster then the other guy. -

Seems like a self correcting situation to me. Idiot who confronts and taunts neighbor while brandishing goes to jail. Other idiot who decides to physically attack someone who is armed is dead. If someone shows up on my property while armed and starts making a scene I'm calling the police, I'm not going to start a firefight in my front yard unless it's the last resort. -
Random video the wife showed me, I thought it was amusing.

Welcome to TGO

Pretty cool, I'd like to try one of the wing suits.

Thanks for reminding me about the leaf mount. I looked at it a while back but I must have forgotten about it.

That's awesome, do you think a micro red dot on the top rail would hold zero?
-
Did you run into any problems installing that MI rail on the tantal? I know the tantal handguards are not interchangeable with most ak handguards.

Welcome Nologic, you came out of the gate pretty strong there. Better pace yourself before you...er, peter out.

Zimmerman Trial Updates - Ongoing
Mr. Brooks replied to mcurrier's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
You are forgetting 6.8, because Zimmerman followed Martin he deserved to be beat to death. Or haven't you heard? -
Zimmerman Trial Updates - Ongoing
Mr. Brooks replied to mcurrier's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Nah, you're just one of them there racists! -
that didn't take long Edit: I don't normally like brightly colored guns, but that one looks really well done. Nice shooter!
-
I searched and didn't see this mentioned here yet. More information here; http://www.datamancer.net/mosinmags/ I think it's a pretty good idea, I'll probably try one out once they become available. So what says TGO, useful mod or useless mall ninja crap?

Biden: The President has got a big stick
Mr. Brooks replied to a topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Some people don't know when to cut their losses. They are the ones that walk away empty handed instead having something to show for their efforts. -
My handguns have a minimum of five magazines. If you like milsurp make sure you buy as many mags as you can fast, in case they dry up. I have about twenty AR mags laying around, you can never have too many of those. Right now I'm struggling to find enough Ak74 magazines to feed my tantal. I got into the 5.45 game late and the milsurp mags have pretty much all dried up. Mags that cost 10-15 bucks a year or two ago are selling for 25-40 or more now.

Don't think this is how the "stand your ground law" works
Mr. Brooks replied to a topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Like I said, maybe that's just me. If you feel the need to use inaccurate words to describe things that's your choice. -

Mr. Brooks replied to a topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
If a fella is following me down the street the term that would pop in my head is "following", unless I'm doing me darnedest to vilify his actions. Maybe that's just me though. -

Maybe they will charge Zimmerman with stalking.
