Laws are weird huh? We can get a permit to carry a loaded gun, but the knife in your pocket can't open itself or be over a certain length and we can't carry any form of club/baton either. Go figure!

I'm also very sorry for your loss and will keep you and yours in my prayers as well. I lost my dad 5 years ago to heart problems and my mom almost 20 years ago to cancer. I was not prepared for either at the time and I regret every spare minute I had that I didn't spend with them.

Congrats to Sig, RW, and Boogie. I know it isn't over, but I can hear the fat lady warming up back stage.

I'm not too optimistic about my chances of taking 3rd, but it's been a lot of fun this season. I hadn't played FF in a few years until now and I'm glad I did. Good luck RW & Sig in the championship.

+1000 Leroy On the lighter side, I found the perfect gift to give your favorite heterosexual soldier to protect his junk in the shower. Check this out!

VERY well said and like others have said, this is the heart of the debate, regardless of whether they condone, tolerate, encouage, or abhor homosexuality. It is econtinually compared to race or some other protected minority status to gain political currency with the public. The Left is already won over, they were backing the movement from day one. This is the sheep's clothing that gets the the Middle (the largest voting block) to let go of their Ideals.

That is EXACTLY what all 3 studies hoped for...not my words, theirs.

Dozens of minor studies have been conducted, but practically nobody has heard of them and they produced no real scientific results. There have really only been 3 major studies of this kind (Hamer, LeVay, and Bailey/Pillard). For the record, all 3 major studies were conducted by gay activists. In all 3 cases they got huge media publicity when they published their work. But, when attempts to replicate their studies uncovered major faults in all 3 studies ranging from outright fabrication of data and unwarranted assumptions to sloppy practices (refusing to use a control group) there was no fanfare. Since the first major study in 1993, we've all heard about the scientists studying the gay gene and that's all that "stuck" b/c that's all the press fed us. The truth is all 3 major studies were debunked, but that doesn't sell newspapers or 30-second commercial spots on the nightly news. So, the general public goes on thinking there is some real science behind the "born gay" claim.

yep, my bad...I edited that post, after I saw a pic of the sticker I remembered seeing the original post.

I had a class over in Carthage, NC this fall at a facility (Trigger Time) where a lot of DOD, JSOC, CIA, and other alphabet groups train. We found dozens of intact sim rounds on the ground, mostly 9mm. They had no firing pin marks on them and our instructor said they were likely from clearing malfunctions. He had experience with them too and said a lot of guns won't run sim rounds. BTW...that video is awesome. I wanna do that!

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get them? EDIT: Oh, now that I see one (thanks for the pic JustAGuy), I seem to recall seeing a thread about them a while back. I meant to check back, but forgot. Did you sell/distribute them all? Are any still available I hope I don't miss it on the next go around. Did anything ever happen with the black logo hats? David, would you consider starting an email distribution list for the next order of stickers or hats?

It did in my original comment. There's quack docs and shrinks with goofy opinions on all types of things. You can condition someone to like eating crayons, but that wouldn't mean there was any genetic predisposition toward crayon-eating. Scientists have traced all kinds of diseases and maladies to genetic flaws, but I'd be willing to bet that there will never, ever be a geneticist that can offer tangible proof that there is a "gay gene". Why is it so important to the gay commutity to divorce themselves from the fact that their sexual preference is not a choice? I suspect it's b/c they were getting no traction by arguing that it's a viable alternative to biological norms and that they feel they'll get sympathy, if it's not their fault that something is wrong with them

We used to only bring home a few at a time, but we only ate the lower back and hind legs...rolled in flour and fried, of course. Mmm Mmm good.

Your are more than welcome to "romanticize" the present, but IMO there are a lot of things that were better in the past. I could cherry-pick a few things about days gone by that were better, but that wouldn't mean every thing was better.

Being black is not a choice, there is nothing inherently unnatural about being born with darker skin that someone else.

In case anyone wants to know what a 17 yr old about to ship out this summer thinks... My son is a Marine DEP poolie, so I asked him what he thinks about it. He doesn't care, but he shuddered as he said he doesn't want some gay guy checking him out in the shower. He thinks most will be okay with it, but that there "WILL be some trouble if one of them starts trying to get with him" LMAO. Otherwise, he's cool with it. In case you want to know what an ultra-conservative 40 year old guy thinks... I think since we don't ask ANYONE about their sexual preference, there shouldn't be an issue to begin with. Any gays that refuse to join the military b/c they can't tell everyone about it don't have a place in the military. I have moral issues with their actions, not them as people, so I don't condone or accept them. Yet, I would never say they don't have a right to be that way. Last I heard less than 1% of the world is gay and I miss the days when owning up to it were shameful.

Hey! Have you read World War Z? That sounds just like it came from the book.

She can climb into my tree stand any day!

The date is on the the right side of the frame, just above where the front of the trigger guard meets the frame. For instance, mine says "she 86" and has two crossed Roman swords. The "she" means it was mfg'd by Czech Arms Factory in Uhersky Brod, CZ and the number is the 2-digit year it was made. The swords stamp is the military acceptance stamp, meaning this model is designed for the Czech Army. Technically it's a VZ 82 (the VZ stands for vzor, which means "model" in Czech). All of their guns adopted by the military have a VZ in the name and all their guns made for the public have CZ in the name. When the CZ-83 (.380 version of the same gun) came out for sale to the public, everyone started calling the older 9mm Mak's a CZ-82 instead of VZ 82 and it just stuck.

Hey Mike, is that Strion the rechargeable line that Streamlight makes? I've been wanting one, but wonder about real-world hour per charge.

That version might be too old, sorry I brought it up.

Your grips look a lot better than what came on mine. My grips looked like the gun had been dragged down a gravel road.

Awesome, 6 blocks from my house. I'm 1 block past Lavergne Ln off Bill Stewart.

Dang Boogie, looks like we had the same kind of week. At least you didn't get blown out. Looks like we play for 3rd place. See ya next week.

I know what you're thinking Sig. But it ain't over yet! When Adrian Peterson rushes for 250 yards with 5 TD's and Chicago gets 5 turnovers against the Vikes tomorrow night, don't say I didn't warn you! Oh hell...I can't even make myself believe that crap.
