Given that you'll be seated, the shoulder holster seems like the best option.  Just be careful with muzzle discipline, and practice drawing and re-holstering a lot.    Be very thoughtful about where and how you sit in relation to the client.    I like the ballistic vest inside a briefcase idea.   How about an ejector seat for you clients?

    Agreed.  twas just sayin'...

Thanks to all who serve! :usa:

You could always just host it on your own photobucket (or similar) account.  As long as you site the original source, I don't think there would be copyright issues. 

If your willing to travel this way, I have a friend who does good work on the side.

Pics or it didn't happen.... :)

Just finished "A Higher Call" by Adam Makos. A true story about a chance meeting of an ME109 and a B-17 over Europe. Great story about much more than the title implies.

It's Friday evening and after enjoying a Kentucky bourbon barrel stout with supper,this came to mind.... :) http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=awzyLJFh1lQ

Keyholing (tumbling in flight) and tumbling after impact are two different things. The round is intended to tumble after impact but tumbling in flight indicates a rifling rate, bullet weight, and/or velocity problem.

Could be that spraying the fluid directly in the carb is starving it of air and causing it to go too rich and bog. I also suspect gunk in the fuel system. The off the shelf in- line fuel filters are really coarse and won't catch fine particles.

3D printing rifling inside a bore is not a problem. Think of the barrel sitting vertically. Just start from the bottom print your way up the length. One of the primary benefits of 3D printing is the ability to make complex internal passages that can't be near-net cast. I took the photo below at the Advanced Manufacturing Lab at ORNL during a tour a while back (yes, they said we could take pictures). The block on the left was cast and machined and cut in half. The block on the right was printed and cut in half. Both are titanium. The printed block weighs about half as much as the cast block. I've also seen, but wasn't allowed to take pictures of, gas turbine blades with internal cooling passages that were fully 3D printed. They look something like this...

    Agreed.  Some key patents have expired and the technology is poised to go mainstream in a big way.  I think 3D printers capable of high precision metal components will remain at the high end of the spectrum.  I'm not sure how precise a laser based printer is.  The high dollar EB based printers will remain high dollar. 

    This.   Before you buy stuff, I strongly suggest you get quotes from a couple pro's.  I got insulation installed for less than it would have cost me just for the materials.   I had my floors insulated with R19 bat and R19 equivalent blown into the attic (for a total of R38).  I like walking around the house barefoot and it helped a bit with how cold the floor feels.            My house is the same way.  Every time I undertake some sort of project I find myself staring and something and thinking... Really?  :shake:

      :confused:   A 3D printer capable of producing metal parts to the tolerances needed in a traditional firearm costs somewhere in the $1M-$5M range.

I had a couple friends that tried the Mr. Beer kits in our college dorm rooms...  boy was it horrible!  It must be bad when broke college students who haven't discovered craft beer yet think it's too nasty to drink...   I'd like to home brew, but don't really have the space or the time at the moment.  A couple coworkers have done it a lot and made some really good beers. 

    I like hot sauce, but there's no way I'm trying one that comes with an eye dropper.  Especially when it says "ghost pepper" on the label.  :surrender:

I wonder what the shelf life is on them?  My kids love all sorts of light sources.  They'll turn the lights off and run around the house waving their flashlights and screaming.    It's pretty cute for the first hour or so, after that....   :bored:     They like it when the power goes out because I can't fuss at them for turning the lights off.

Do the eye dominance check and then put a piece of masking tape over the non-dominant eye's lens on her shooting glasses.  Once she gets used to it, you should be able to take the tape off. 

    I recall from a recent demo we saw at Chickamauga, that the demo loads (even with live ammo) are 1/4 to 1/2 the power of a full charge used during the war.  That sound about right?   Given the boom they make at 1/2 power, it's hard to imagine what a whole battery must have sounded like back in the day. 

Just depends on how sensitive your wife is to the weight, noise, and recoil.  If you think she's pretty intimidated and/or apprehensive, I'd start with a .410.  If she likes that, move up to a 20ga, then perhaps move up to a 12ga.  I'm assuming you're talking about skeet, trap, or sporting clays. It is true that .410 and 20ga are harder to find, but you should be able to order target loads for most anything.

The only guns I clean every time are the ones that shoot corrosive ammo. The others I'll inspect and wipe off the crud, but I don't strip them down and do a thorough cleaning. I'm a firm believer that more guns get broken and/or worn out due to obsessive cleaning than obsessive shooting.

I can't figure out how that would be to someone's advantage....?  Just a scam to get money then claim you don't own the property so the property owner has to pay it back?   Is that the scam?  Seems like it would be really difficult to pull that off given all the crap you've got to go through to get a mortgage these days...    :confused:

Looks fine I guess.  Is the 2nd trash can just for extra capacity?   A couple purpose made rain barrels do the same thing without all the plumbing work.    On thing to note... I've got a rain barrel connected to the downspout just like that's shown... and it gets nasty inside.  Cleaning it out isn't the easiest thing either.  There's no way I'd use that water for anything other than watering my plants without considerable treatment (boiling & filtering, etc.).

    A common misconception.  Stop wasting money on interest charges and just pay the bill.  As tanker said, a loan officer will look more closely at your income to potential debt ratio than anything else.  Don't get a card with a huge limit.  If you've got a card with a $30k limit (or 3 $10k cards), that means you could rack up that much debt without the loan officer knowing about it.
