In this case, I can. I have done some training with Randy in the snow and butt cold temperatures. If I have the option of freezing my butt off or sweating it off, I will chose the later.

Can you buy stuff at SHOT, or is it just manufacturers showing some of their existing and upcoming merchandise?

Anyone ever accuse you of thinking too much? Rotting or not, zombies are going to smell like . Go without a shower for a month all the while urinating and defecating on yourself. People would smell you a mile away.

Nice one. Looks like it has gotten some good reviews. You know you have a good wife or husband, if they trust you well enough to buy you a knife or gun for Christmas

I will be waiting on the post where some guy gets shot for trying to light a cigarette in front of police officers.

Hey Randy, are you planning on offering the advanced gunfighting next year in the warmer months? I missed out on the September class, and I'm too much of a sissy to take anymore winter classes.

Anyone buying themselves any new blades for Christmas, or have dropped hints to your significant other? Planning on anything new early next year? To answer my own question, I am getting two new blades right after Christmas. Thanks to our good SMEs, a deal was brought to my attention that I couldn't pass up. I will post them when I get them. Thanks Fred. As far as early next year goes, I have a ZT0561 and 0777 on preorder. Outside of those two, who knows. I am always looking out for good deals.

I don't think I could support a Ventura candidacy. Why not Paul/Johnson or Johnson/Paul? I would be happy with Gary Johnson as prez.

Interesting you brought that up. I was talking to some people this morning about the election and Paul's foreign policy stance when I had an epiphany. All of the propaganda being espoused by all of the candidates is the exact same language that was used during the build up to the Iraq war. They are using the exact same reasons. 1. They have or are working on WMDs 2. He is a madman 3. They are aiding terrorists 4. We need to defend Israel 5. Citing the UN as a means of cover It is amazing how much you can forget in such a short period of time. I will admit that I had forgotten about all of the reasons cited before we went into Iraq. I don't think there is any doubt that we will be at war with Iran under this president or the next.

Gary Johnson was an excellent addition. However, he has switched to the libertarian ticket. He pretty much mirrors Paul views, except he has nowhere near the name recognition.

You are correct. The blade on the Condor does look odd. I had to magnify the image on the first pic to see whether I was seeing an optical illusion. Still, for $30, I don't think you can really go wrong with that.

Did anyone watch the debate last evening? I haven't watched the last several debates, but I did watch this one. I wanted to see if any of these racist accusations would be brought up in the debate. They were not. As I have mentioned in a previous post, one of those cringe-worthy moments with Paul occured when Bachmann started attacking his foreign policy. I think Paul sort of lost it on that one. He got so rattled that a lot of what he said was not very coherent. I thought it was really bad. While I do agree with some (or maybe even a lot) of Paul's foreign policy views, I do not agree with everything. It is too bad that he cannot effectively communicate his foreign policy message during these debates instead of coming across as a kook. Nonetheless, I am still a believer that domestic policy trumps foreign policy, and Paul (IMHO) still has the best ideas. Therefore, he still has my vote for the primary. I learned a few new things during this debate. I really like Perry's idea of a part-time congress. It would never happen, but it is good nonetheless. It was the first time I had heard it. Overall, I thought Perry did a good job. He didn't get a lot of face time, which I think works on his behalf. He was also very strong on the 10th ammendment. Michelle Bachmann. Before the debates, I really liked Bachmann. I thought she was somewhat conservative and really tough in regards to saying what she thought. She reminded me a little bit of Palin. She is incredibly fiery and will not back down when pointing out some of the other candidate's flaws. This is a great thing considering none of the candidates are ideal, and they all have their flaws, including Paul. However, I have picked up on something that I absolutely loathe. At times when she is attacking a candidate's positions, she will throw out these wild and unsubstantiated charges. Gingrich is trying to elect candidates who back infanticide, Gingrich is paying off Tea Party leaders in SC instead of earning their support, Perry is at fault because Gardasil causes mental retardation, Politifact said everything I said was true, etc... She criticized Cain's 999 plan, rightfully so, as I did not like Cain's plan either. However, once Cain was gone, 999 became a great idea. I was wrong about her. She is nothing like Palin. I completely understand that a fair amount of ego and a lot of ambition are typical traits found in most presidential contenders. However, to say or do anything regardless of the veracity to get a leg up on your opponents is totally unacceptable (even in the general election). While I do not think she stands a chance at winning the nomination, stranger things have happened. If it were to occur, I would really consider voting third party in the general. Based upon what I have seen thus far, she scares the crap out of me.

Correct, Camillus went bankrupt. As far as all of the new Camillus knives being made in China, I'm not really sure.

If I am not mistaken, both knives have been discontinued. The best place to find one is more than likely on ebay. I see them on there all the time. Because they have been discontinued, expect to pay more than what it originally sold for (especially the Microtech). If you find an Assailant II on ebay, you should expect it to go for a minimum of $100. The Camillus 710 is significantly cheaper.

Glad you got a 0350. Hope you like it. I would like to mention that the last two new 0350s I have purchased would not open completely without a lot of force. This isn't normal. They should open very rapidly. If by some chance your's is very stiff, a small 1/8 of a turn or less on the tension should fix it.

No problem with me. I have done the same and I am sure I will probably do it again in the future.

WTF are you talking about? Nobody is talking about you (at least I'm not), sheesh. There is no need to get you panties in a wad, so you can start acting like an adult and stop telling other forum members to kiss your a$$. That is totally uncalled for. If you go back and read Lester's comments he pointed out two charges that are being made against Paul. Both are totally unfounded. As Lester was stating, it appears that Paul is now being branded as a "closet racist" and "anti-semite." I was following up on those comments that there are "some" of their listeners that will hear that and without doing any investigating on their own will automatically accept that as being truth. Geeze, I even quoted Lester's comments to emphasize what my response was pertaining to. If someone wants to talk about you personally, we do have the quote function and see your screen name.

You know what I find amazing Lester. People like Levin and Hannity deify Ronald Reagan. However, they break Reagan's 11th commandment. "Thou shall not talk ill of any fellow Republican." Ron Paul, whether they like him or not, is a registered Republican. He does not have "I" after his name in congress. But I guess Paul just isn't Hannity's or Levin's type of Republican. I think you hit the nail on the head when you classified some of their listeners as "brain dead." I don't understand what is so hard about thinking for yourself instead of taking what some a$$hole says on radio or tv as gospel truth. Anyone want to explain that one for me? I just don't get it.

Yeah, I'm close on the non-one piece blades. I lack the 7" Yarborough, which I will get. There is the Nyala, which is great, but I don't think I will get one of those. On the one-piece blades, I have quite a few of them, but I am not even close. The ones I really want will be almost impossible to find. I would love to have the four Kathathu daggers. If any of you guys run across one let me know. If the price is good, I wouldn't mind giving a finder's fee.

I was just reading an article about Paul posted on Drudge. Ron Paul gains ground, further stirring Republicans | Reuters There is nothing really new in the article, but I did find one paragraph interesting. Wall street Republicans don't like him. National security Republicans don't like him. Social conservative Republicans don't like him. We haven't really had for a long time, perhaps the first time, a true anti-special interest candidate. I find that quite refreshing.

Ya know, I really do like these knives. This is a Mountaineer I. I really like the single guard on this one. Uploaded with ImageShack.us I think this will be it for a while. "No mas, no mas."

Well.. I finally managed to get a Pacific to go along with my Warrior and Green Beret. I don't know which I like better. They are all great. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I didn't see it. What was his price? Same as KnifeArt? I did see he is ready to ship out the new 0550. Either of you planning on getting one? I don't think I will, but I do have a 0561 on preorder with him.

Can one of the moderators edit the poll I created? http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/national-politics-legislation/65955-2012-presidential-primary-poll.html I set the poll to close after 30 days instead of 90 days, which is closer to the Super Tuesday (March 6, 2012). Thank you.

No, I got them from KnifeArt. They are made by the Hinderer shop. Here is the link. Zero Tolerance 0550 / 0551 G10 Replacement Scales by Hinderer Knives - Exclusive! - by Zero Tolerance Knives, Zero Tolerance Knife
