I never paid over $15 for a knife until I got my first Red Class Benchmade (Monochrome in satin stainless). Several Blue Class ones later, I realized I hate the AXIS lock and traded/sold 'em but still have that Monochrome. Since I work in an office, I mostly carry a Kershaw Leek on weekdays for it's weight and slim profile. I'm becoming a big fan of Kershaw.

If somebody makes a mean joke like "now you gotta get used to wearing shoes", don't listen to 'em. I hear the same crap about TN. Seriously, welcome.

Benchmade steel takes a great edge that lasts well. I think they're pretty hard to beat for the money. BTW...check Sears, they have that same model for $80. I don't know how casual/serious you are about knives, but I bought a knock-about knife to save my Benchmade from some of my careless abuse. I got one of the H&K branded Benchmade knives. The steel isn't top notch, but for about 1/3 of the price...who cares?

I like that magazine/flashlight holder, where'd ya find that?

If I were the type to OC, even on occasion, I'd be more concerned. Since I never do and try to practice "stealth carry", I give a quick glance for a sign and/or metal detectors and go about my business. I, for one, will NOT intentionally carry past a properly posted sign. I'll go elsewhere. However, like ArmaDeFuego said...I ain't standing outside the door scouring every inch of doors and windows either.

I get a ton of SPAM, because of GearHog. I wasn't sure it was them until I changed emails with them (brand new, never used gmail acct). I guess it's worth it. I've gotten some good deals from them. I have to admit, I'm pretty curious whether it's a sticker, air freshener, or plastic key fob. If it's a flashlight, I'll be letting y'all know.

1pointofview, glad to hear you already had the pocket holster part covered. Getting one of those little guns charged in an emergency could be problematic for anyone. I'd never consider my P-32 w/ one in the chamber unsafe and I'd also never consider trying to aim it in an OS situation either. That's why I put a Crimson Trace laser trigger guard on it. That's good stuff right there! I gotta remember that one. +1 for guns with decockers, but I can't think of a single good choice for pocket carry with a decocker right off the top of my head

You ain't kidding! Kind of makes me sick to think about it.

As much as I hate to say this, it's their propery and our rights to NOT be searched end when we decide to enter their facilities. Our only choices are refusing to be searched in hopes they'll back down or leaving. Their private property rights trump all our rights. Luckily, most businesses are too smart to go too far. Like others said, these searches will likely end when everyone forgets about the shooting in CO. Until then, theaters probably feel like any pretenses of security will please more patrons than it pisses off.

I've been looking at these lately too. I'd be interested to hear some first-hand knowledge instead of the usual copy/paste from the internet, which is mostly what I've seen.

It's sad, really, when science becomes politicized. Many of these global warming "scientists" are well-educated and initially mean well. When it became known that some were fudging numbers to support their theories, I was disappointed. When it became known that most who had done so were getting gov't grants, I was disgusted. The gov't shouldn't hand out money to scientists willing to prove global warming exists.

At 15 yards I'd say you're definitely improving fast. That Glock will come around, just stay focused on your grip and trigger discipline.

I can't offfer anything but my sincerest condolences to someone who loses an animal. I can only imagine if it were a partner.

Real men still open doors for ladies and try their best not to fart/burp in front of them.

Almost everything I know about being a real man is covered by Rudyard Kipling in "IF" (http://www.kipling.org.uk/poems_if.htm). Of course others would say real men don't read poetry, though.

I've been using a kydex reinforced instructor's belt more and more lately too. I love leather, but these nylon/velcro belts are much easier to adjust and don't creak.

I hope he's charged too, maybe something like gross negligence. He's too dumb to be carrying a gun around, if he's not smart enough to control it.

I know this sounds cruel, but I think the main thing keeping Skyler alive is the fact that she's laundering his money and keeping the car wash going while he cooks. He knows she doesn't love him any more. She said she'd just waiting and when he asked for what, she said 'for the cancer to come back'. Plus, she's chain smoking in the house where he sleeps and breathes.

The plot of this series is great, but watching the main characters change is even better. Pinkman had the most ups and downs, but has become the most level headed person on the show. Walt has had the most to overcome, but went from sad little HS teacher to drug kingpin. Skyler went from stay at home mom to adulterous bookcooking accountant to money launder hiring thugs and looke at her now. She's a basketcase. I wouldn't put it past Walt to drug her and put her back in the pool. Nobody would suspect a thing, but he couldn't do that to the kids...could he?

You won't be spending that much when that 22/45 comes in! I'd 50 rounds or less of 9mm and the rest .22LR, if I were you. I also hope you learned as much as I did about NOT buying Winchester ammo for my Ruger, LOL.

I've shot all 3 quite a bit and agree that I would rule out the XD first too. I like the grip angle of the Ruger better, but I shoot the Glock a little bit more accurately. The Ruger's trigger pull is longer, but it doesn't stack as much at the end as the Glock does. The Glock is a heckuva lot simpler to disassemble/clean, you'll find a lot more compatible gear, and Glock mags are way cheaper, but the Ruger is lot less expensive. You can afford a couple of extra mags and a holster & mag pouch with the savings. Overall it's a tough call. Sorry, if that just muddied the waters for you. In the end you know what the most important points are for you.

I love the idea of neck knives and still have one of the half dozen I've bought over the years. I just can't get used to them under my shirt. Personally, I prefer a tip-up pocket folder, like the Kershaw Leek. However, I like the looks of that Boker Plus Rambler a LOT. I didn't realize I needed one of them, thanks Mykltn. Of course, first thing I'll have to do is make a horizontal leather holster for it.

I'm hoping they are able to repeal the Hall income tax before I retire. It's a flat 6% tax on dividend and interest income (like 401K) after $1250/person or $2500/married couple. It accounts for 2% of the state's income, so it's gonna be a tough sell to politicians. Otherwise, I agree that TN is a pretty good place. I've lived here all my life and other than Idaho it's the only place I'd ever wanna live.
