So let's just go in guns blazing whenever anything happens. Someone takes a bank hostage, just send in SWAT right away and blast away. No sense in negotiating, only wastes time and makes you look like weak. I don't like Obama, but in this case he did the right thing and made the right call even if you think it took too long. There is plenty to complain about with Obama without having to look for it and I think you're looking for it here, no better than all the Bush haters that found fault no matter what he did.

The first rifle I bought was an Enfield, No4 Mk2 .303 British. Love it. High on my list for next mil surp rifle is a German K98. Sad story...when I was young I remember my dad had a German K98 sniper that his brother had brought back from the war that dad used for hunting. He gave up hunting as he got older and gave the rifle to a relative who used it a bit and then sold it. Ahhhh....I REALLY wanted that rifle.

What would you want him to do? Announce to the world how he was going to have the Navy kill the pirates before it happened?

Dude, paragraphs are you friend. Or do they not have paragraphs in your native language? Anywho, where to begin, your post is so full of ignorance it's almost laughable. Sure you're not a troll? You rail about the so called extreme right wing and how they have never done anything good to any country but brought hate,war and misery and yet don't mention the extreme left wing and the hate war and misery they have brought, or have you forgotten about a guy called Stalin who was responsible for more deaths than Hitler was, and most of those were his own people. The US doesn't export anything? Where did you pull that gem from? Try google and see that we do infact export lots of stuff. And if we can't survive without others help, then the others can't survive without us. And what is with all the bubba crap? Don't have any real facts for your arguments so you result to name calling and calling people fat asses? Real mature, and it really leads to credibility of your statments

Haha, that was good.

I think it depends on what causes the run-ins. If it's people being sheep and calling cops because someone is choosing the carry in a legal manner, how does that make us all look bad? People who are against guns are against guns, period. They don't want us to have a gun at all, open or concealed and hiding your gun from them doesn't change that. Do you think that the park/restaurant carry legislation would have an easier time getting though if one of the conditions was to only carry concealed? Would that appease the anti-gun folks enough? Would the Tennessean come out and support that type of legislation? I don't think they would.

Just like there are some cops that became cops because they want to feel powerful and be able to push people around, because they have some kind of inferiority complex and need to be in a position of power over other people to make them feel good about themselves. Does this describe all cops? No, not at all, but it does describe some of the them. Are there people that open carry to feel like somekind of cowboy, I'm sure there are but to say that no one should because of the motivations of a few to me is like saying you shouldn't respect any cops because there are a small few that don't deserve it.

I completely agree But how have those "progressive" ideas become mainstream? By contantly exposing them to the masses and desensitizing the people to it. What is considered "normal" today would have been appalling not that many years ago. The leftists that think that we will be awash with blood if we don't ban guns are going to try to ban them no matter what method of carry we choose. I don't think out of sight out of mind would work with them. Some wouldn't think that they are misguided actions. This is a worse analogy than the pierced ears one It's basically saying that open carry people are selfish and rude people that are out to ruin things for you civilized people. What is someone ordered a nice steak at a restaurant and that restaurant was filled with vegetarians that began giving your group a hard time cause someone had the audacity to order meat. Would you tell that person to stop being "rude" and not order the meat? Don't piss off PETA or we'll never be able to eat meat again. Just eat your meat in private so no one can see you.

But in insisting that people should only carry concealed, aren't we voluntarily restricting our rights? There are many states where you don't even need a permit to OC and it would seem that people have gotten used to it there so why can't it become like that here? I do agree somewhat with the idea of not oc'ing simply to make a political statement, but there are valid reasons to open carry. Yes, you might get harrassed more by people or police, but if a person is willing to take that because they feel as though the benefits outweigh the hassle factor, then let them be. It seems like it's always the cc crowd that is so adament that the oc crowd is wrong and they need to smarten up, yet those that choose to oc tend to take the live and let live attitude of carry whatever way suits YOU best.

You're on fire today!

I would think this would be good advise for any holster.

I believe those issues were on 2 specific models and were corrected a while ago. I have one for my XD and feel completely safe carrying with it.

I would be up for that. It would have to be on a weekend for me though...I live in Franklin but work in Bellevue so a weekday lunch might be hard to make.

Care to share where you found them?

Not exactly. Our current system may be propped up by foreign investment (and not all of that comes from China, and not all of our debt is paid by foreign investment) but it's in China's best insterest to help prop it up cause if our system fails, their's fails. The only reason China has begun to 'prosper' is because they have taken a more capitalistic approach by selling cheap goods to us. Their economy is so tied to our dollar that if our dollar fails, and we stop buying their cheap goods, their economy is flushed down the toilet as well. So do we have a right to food and water? Why aren't people calling for free food, since we need food and water much more than health care to survive. Try going to the grocery store and demanding all the food you want for free since it's your right. And stop paying your water bill since that's against your rights. Gov't interference is what is wrong with health care and why it's so expensive. Look at areas that are not covered by insurance (eg lasik eye surgery) and the market has driven prices. The cost of lasik has dropped dramatically because people actual care about costs. summary of your view: "I'll give up my rights if you will just pay for my mortgage and health care and education etc etc" Spoken like a true freedom loving patriot

?????? Are you serious? China's system is working better than ours? Must be the forced sterilization once you have your 1 allowed child, or the censorship from the state, or the whisking away of anyone who dares criticize the gov't to prisons...that must be why their system is 'working' better than ours. I take it that you are a gun owner, being on this site (unless of course you are just a troll trying to get a charge out of people), but under the better Chinese system, you would not have your guns. Hell, you wouldn't even be able to post to a forum like this. So you can have your 'better' system, I'll stick with the imperfect freedoms I have here.

You talking about the Quebequois? Don't get me started on them...they are a huge pain in the ass for all involved. I'd spit in their food if I served them

What type was he referring to?
