  1. What would have been awesome would be if the Gov's Zombie Wagon had been a converted ice cream truck....complete with music and a clown head.
  2. S&W handled an issue with my Walther P22. Service was excellent. I didn't know Smith was no longer handling their support. That's disappointing.
  3. I'm confused. Did xRUSTYx just offer to buy a gun or a girlfriend from TDR?
  4. I'm wondering if Woodbury has a secret ammo factory. They sure did pointlessly burn through a bunch of it. Rick's team too, but not as badly. I want to know why everyone isn't carrying a large blade at this point.
  5. They don't have enough people to do the job. they need the new group to come back.
  6. Do you mean like this one? http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/60268-mags-loaded-or-unloaded/ or this one? http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/56646-magazine-question/ or this one? http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/51709-keep-extra-mags-loaded/ or this one? http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/17310-magazines-full-or-empty/   :)   Kalel, those threads are all in the Gear and Accessories forum. If you were just searching the Long guns forum, I can see how you'd miss them.
  7.     Remington didn't take out a full-paged ad in the paper saying they were going to move if the state passed further bans. Magpul did. They would have been just fine had they not done that. I respect them for doing what they did. If their home state wants to remove part of their customer base, good for them for standing up for themselves. If they don't move, it's a giant flounce. I'll respect them less as a company, but I'd still buy their products beacsue I don't know of any real alternatives. Nothing else that I know of is as good, and they're still Made in the USA.   Something tells me that the costs of making the move will be greatly if not entirely offset by a sweetheart tax deal from another state and the loads of good-will this will produce in the enthusiast community. We're their customer base and they know it. They're probably not worried if the panic buyers don't buy their one P-Mag (but they will because there's a shortage of them so they must be awesome). They know that their bread and butter are guys like DMark who said  he buys them, gives them as gifts, recommends them to friends, and recommends them to students. That's where they get one person in a position of influence to like their products and they make thousands of sales because of it. A flounce hurts that good-will.   Who here would try something new if Dolomite or Hickok45 said it was awesome? What if they said it sucks? That's the power of word-of-mouth from respected figures in a niche market of enthusiasts.       xRustyx, I think you're right. I read that between the lines when Magpul said they can quickly move PMag production. The fact they know that means they've looked into it.
  8. Did you dial "0" from the men's room to call in a shoe-shine boy?  :)   That place is so cool. I went in yesterday and noticed that Capone's hiding alcove has been permanently covered by the mirror. It's to the left of the shoe shine stands. You can see at the base of the wall beneath the mirror where the tiles don't line up right.
  9. Liberal university professor hates guns, says republicans and southern gun-owners are scared racists, loves the USSR.   In other news, the sun is hot and so is Kate Upton.
  10. I'd love to see them in TN, but I suspect TX would be the more likely destination. There's a risk for them to be facing the same issue in any other state some years or decades from now, but that's vanishingly small in Texas. Gov. Perry has been actively recruiting freedom-loving companies to relocate to Texas, so I expect he has already called Fitzpatrick. Landing Magpul would give hime some nice political capital. I'd guess Texas will offer a sweetheart deal.
  11.   You're technically correct. Magpul Industries is incorporated so it does have one or more stockholders.   If Fitzpatrick has at least 51% of the shares (and I suspect he does) then it's going to behave more like a sole-proprietership and Oh Shoot is right. What Fitzpatrick says they'll do is what they'll do.
  12. They locked a Pakistani citizen in a 7-Eleven cell?   Well played, my good sirs, well played.
  13. Skip this silly kinetic warfare. Go straight to the psychological warfare. Hide a Think Geek Annoy-A-Tron in their cubicles and watch them surrender.
  14.   We fought Nazis, but hardly together. For all intents and purposes, the eastern and western fronts in WW2 Europe were two different wars happening at the same time. The allies on the western front wanted to restore things to the way they were before the rise of Nazi Germany and end the occupation of other nations. The eastern front was fought to decide if the USSR or Nazi Germany would occupy and control eastern Europe and Scandinavia. That's a bit simplistic given the multitude of nations involved and the politics that go with them, but it's by-and-large the way it played out. You can see that by eastern Europe becoming Soviet satellite states after WW2, while western Europe returned to being independent and free nations. Our relationship with Stalin was "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", but when the original enemy is defeated, that alliance is not particularly useful.
  15. http://youtu.be/5FWfg__wKSY Funny send up of Skyfall.
  16. Opening a gun store 1 mile from GnL was poor planning.
  17. Were you expecting something else?
  18. Burger Up and Loveless Cafe are both posted. Loveless lately has become famous for being famous. Not as good as it once was. Try Puckett's downtown for some good southern food. They often have live bands too. Search google for Puckett's Grocery. One thing that Loveless does have that's excellent is Music City Roots. I think it's Wednesday nights. Check their site for info and the line up. While you're downtown, go to the Hermitage Hotel. The lobby is awesome and a real piece of old South. The men's room downstairs is an Art Deco masterpiece and has a little alcove where Al Capone would hide from the coppers. It's a cool downtown spot.
  19. Roberts Western World on lower broadway is very popular. As is Tootsies. Both have food and live music. VERY Nashville. The Bluebird Cafe is another great choice and you don't have to go downtown to get there. You can carry in a "bar" as long as it isn't posted and you don't drink. I couldn't say which venues are posted and which aren't.
  20. Here's an example of what it does, as I understand it.   Cool Spring Galleria mall is posted at all parking lot entrances. This currently makes the whole place off-limits to lawful carry. With this bill, we could "violate" the sign to the point of parking our cars in the lot and leaving the gun locked up in the car while we shop. It doesn't remove the fact that the property is posted, just that as long as it stays in the car, you're OK. We still can't legally carry in the mall itself or in the parking lot when we're outside our POVs.   If you're an employee of the mall property manager, or of a retailer in the mall, and that employer has a no guns policy that includes your POV and they include a clause that they can search your car, this bill does nothing to help you except that after you get fired, you can't be charged under 39-17-1359.
  21. That use magazine clips
  22. Caster, go for the dental implants. All the benefits of real teeth with none of the drawbacks of real teeth OR dentures.   The downside.....expensive, painful, multistep procedures.   You can get them cheaper south of the border. :)
  23. Now I'm worried the zombies will be shooting back.
  24. Interesting. What browser are you using? I don't see that link in either Firefox 18 or IE 9 on Windows 7 nor on Safari on iOS6. Maybe it's only turned on for mods. You also have the "Topic Moderation" link that the unwashed masses don't have.
  25. So it's not stainless steel under that bluing? Good to know. I don't think it's worth bothering with getting it nickel coated. That would look pretty cool though.
