  1. That's the first store that came to my mind when I read your OP. By selling G27 mags for $49.95 to people who don't know any better.
  2. Let that slide slam shut. My LCP will hurt my hand if I try to run 100 rds in a range session. I now limit myself to absolutely no more than 50 per trip, and usually no more than 18 (3 mags). So this is your fair warning: the break-in can be rough on your shooting hand.
  3. I thought you guys called your public outdoor range "Garden View".
  4. I was thinking the same thing. And changing my vehicle regularly.
  5. Why not? They're having their big 2015 convention in a convention hall that won't allow carry.
  6. A 3-party system can't work as long as we have winner-take-all (first past the post) elections. There will be the occasional 3rd party candidate in smaller races, but nothing in the big races. If it ever happens, it won't be consistent. It will be an anomaly. The question is, how do we change from a first-past-the-post to another system, like alternative-vote, or mixed-member-proportional, or something else? In the CGP Grey videos I linked to earlier, his examples say that the queen lioness changes the system. But how do we change that, since we don't have a benevolent queen lioness?
  7. This is indeed the endgame for Breaking Bad. It's the final season. I haven't read the TWD comics. I would assume that in addition to expense, there could be some things in there that just wouldn't translate well to TV audiences. That's why Peter Jackson chopped Tom Bombadil and the stop at his house (and the graves afterwards) from The Fellowship of the Ring. When something in a book is too weird for a movie about halflings, elves, dwarves, dragons, orcs, goblins, magic rings, wizards, walking-talking-trees, enchanted swords, whatever-Golum-is, armies of the dead, giant spiders, flying-lizard-dragon-things and a balrog, that's a sign that it's pretty darn weird.
  8. Han Solo: It's not wise to upset a wookiee. C-3P0: But sir, nobody ever worries about upsetting a droid. Han Solo: That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that. Chewbacca: grrrrrrwwwwfff C-3P0: I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2: let the Wookiee win.
  9. And it was 109 here a couple of weeks ago....
  10. Thanks, but that wasn't it. I was trying to avoid multiple posts, and I can only put 2 media links in a post, so it would have been 2 posts to get 3 media links. Instead I was able to get one post to have 3 URL links, but FUBARd it up so bad that I ended up with 3 posts instead of the original 2....doh!
  11. Nice. Can't wait. And MERLE!!!!! Awesome. The only thing keeping me held over until then will be Breaking Bad's final season.
  12. Thanks. That helps. But that wasn't it after all. I was trying to post URLs to 3 YouTube videos. The board software was making them media links instead making them imbedded videos instead of plain old URLs. Once I changed them to URLs, it worked fine.
  13. We get out of the 2 party system when we change our voting setup. As long as we have first past the post (winner takes all) we will always have a 2 party system. YouTube contributor CGP Grey made an interesting 3 part series on some voting systems. He's partial to the last one, obviously, but he makes some excellent points about our current system in the 1st video.

  14. I was attrempting to add a post with some URLs (but no images) and I received this error: Sorry, but you have posted more media files than you are allowed to I assume it means that I have placed too many photos and URLs in older posts. How do I find those old posts and edit them to remove the pics?
  15. I love my Shun Classic 8" Chef's knife. Up next is a 6" version of the same.
  16. As long as we play winner takes all primaries, we will remain a 2 party system.
  17. True. It's a great story. I now use it as my excuse to go to the range more. "It's for the children". It works for the politicians....
  18. The show sucks. It's worse than Sons of Guns.
  19. Striking fear into the hearts of burglars everywhere. Also available in AR, AK, 1911 and Taser flavors.
