[quote name='DaveTN' timestamp='1351950777' post='838306'] I don’t know why anyone would think that. I don’t care how big a distributor is their territory will be covered by a new distributor. LEO’s and LEO agency aren’t going to disregard the M&P just because a particular distributor doesn’t handle it. [/quote] But that is the thing GT's at least in the South has had the manopoly on the LE market so their is not a wholesaler to pick them up. We are actually seeing Sig's in more and more LE holsters, because they are getting the best deals. I would go buy a S&W Shield but I have to pay retail. If LE agency's in TN want S&W's they have to pay retail or order them in. Police Departments are reluctant to buy guns they can't hold at the store or get to Demo. With the new law on confiscated firearms most all of these agencies are trading seized guns for new duty weapons. If there isn't somewhere to walk in and get S&W's in trade then these departments will. Of even consider S&W's. I'm not saying we will not see some M&P's in the holsters of LE but they won't appear easily for a while.

[quote name='sL1k' timestamp='1350959106' post='832290'] Spiders don't bother me so much if they are not poisonous. [/quote] There is no such thing as a poisonous spider in N America, you can eat all of them! Now there are several species that are venemous.

Do you really have a need for a 23 Gen4 since you have a 19 Gen4?

[quote name='DaveTN' timestamp='1351947049' post='838271'] The battle for the LEO market is fierce. Because with it comes the private sector. Neither side is above lying nor doing whatever it takes to get it. Glock may be a good gun but they are losing that market to the M&P. [/quote] Most likely one of largest suppliers of firearms to law enforcement, GT Distribuhors, has dropped their S&W's because of a lack of agreement with territories. I think it will be harder for S&W to catch up.

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/lifestyle/family/rare-black-deer-born-in-colorado I thought I had heard of one before.

The parkerized Keltecs hold up well. I would just wipe it down after being exposed to sweat or moisture. It's not really a show gun anyway but should hold up well.

You just can't go wrong with a G19. I love Ruger firearms but the SR9 has no where near the selling points of a G19. The SR9 has more, complicated parts and a handful of aftermarket accessories. The aftermarket and for that matter Glock factory parts for Glocks is endless. The first SR9 I ever heald me and the gun store clerk took it apart and got the slide stuck trying to put it back together so I was turned off from the start. The SR9 generally is a better buy than Glock19 unless you can get blue label Glocks for $400.

Their customer service is good but they want you to pay for the shopping both ways. Other companies may be the same way though.

Knock knock. Who's there? Pirate Walking. Pirate Walking who? A pirate with 2 wooden legs!

I've used a single front night sight and been happy with it. I got it at GT Dist installed for ~$40. It was factory Glock and it lasted about 1Yr until I ripped it off during drills. I however would do it again.

Sorry but I really don't feel as if you have a case here. I think you would spend as much as the car is worth to try and sue him. If you had proof that he represented the car as having a clean carfax or if you can prove he represented it as a 01 but it's a 00 you would have a case.

It's been a long time since I've sealed in selling cars but I believe the old law was the vehicle said it has to be returned in 30 days or 1000 miles. Was there any kind of contract or warranty implied?

The post office has been loseing about a billion a year since 2005. It has a $12 billion loan that is due next year that we all know will not get paid.

I think everyone in this country is thankful for the mail service but it needs to adapt to the times. I was only referring to the Post Office talking some services will be contracted out.
-
I've heard from postal employees that we may see residential mail delivery completely eliminated except for packages. All this assuming the USPS doesn't completely outsource anyway.
-
I believe there is a catch to that though. Benefits and retirement is funded by tax dollars.

Omg she is hot again! http://m.facebook.com/carolina.e.gholson?id=1507035100&_rdr#!/carolina.e.gholson?v=photos&cps&album=a.1574388208754.2078846.1507035100&__user=100003556524854

Well they are saying now that it isn't broke but torn torn ligaments and a dislocated knee cap. He is looking at extensive recovery time and rehahabilitation. It's possible for him to play again but it may take two or more years.

When I was in San Antonio it was well known that service members were not welcome there. Supposedly the owners wife was a 300 lbs stripper.

I got a friend in some crap while in Jersey that just watched her car drown in 5ft water that came all in the last hour.

I think there are a lot of factors with this storm. It's rare for New England to see hurricanes at all but much like Katrina it is the size of the storm which may produce 60-85mph winds for 24 hrs. I have a friend that lives in Atlantic City and they are predicting tidal waves of over 20ft, which is pretty serious when the tide is so high.

It's a topic I have studied my entire life and based many school projects on it. There are four species of cats that are indigenous to N America Puma conclor, Panthera onca, Lynx rufus, Lynx canadensis. There have been black, Lynx rufus floridaious (bobcat) killed in Martin County Florida one in 1939 and one taken in 1940. There are very good photographs of some recently in Martin Co with one that could easily be mistaken as black leopard but he is missing a tail. There have been as recently as the 1930's large blue cats killed in Alaska but I can't recall much about them. Diablo is probably the closest documented case of a black leopard we have in N America but he was not born in the wild. He can be found at a zoo in Omaha Nebraska, he was breed from two normal leopards.

You are correct that there is not a species of black panther or black cougar in N America but there are a few documented cases of large cats with melanism ( all have been leopards) that makes it look black. It can be described as ghost striping. It's what we call a alleles of a gene. The odds of it occurring are about 1 in 10,000 so truth be known there may not be one alive now but there may be one in our life time. Leopards normally have 3 cubs a litter normally the mother will reject the melanism because it most likely will have a immune difficiency and most likely only one will have the pigment discoloration. Actually unrelated but I have known of black couples having white babies and vice versa.

http://www.jbmf.us/mem-wot.asp I can't look at this page without crying. SSG Tabb's dog Bo is the most impressive dog I have ever met in my life. Bo took major shrapenal to the head but is living the retired life in Atlanta with Tabb's family. Bo was the model of what a MWD should be.
