  1. In the event of a home invasion, I'm not clearing my house (no little ones to protect) I'll be protecting my wife, barricaded upstairs in the bedroom with pistol, shotgun, rifle with ears on waiting for Dude to leave or choose to try to invade my bedroom. We've got insurance for all the stuff downstairs, I'm not using my life insurance early to play SWAT. I don't have that kind of training and I'm not secretly a ninja.
  2. I thought I saw a 97 for rent at Bud's so you could try if you're thinking about buying. My 75B Omega was flawless over two days of light rain and a muddy deck. Congrats on your purchase. They certainly are CZexy.
  3. This is the element which has a huge impact on the rights of law abiding citizens. They make it easier for criminals to obtain legally purchased firearms. The fee income obviously offsets the risk of federal charges, legal cost and the risk of doing business with criminals who are violent since they are acquiring firearms as their work tools. Interesting business model, I'll pass... Now add in the face to face transaction with a seller who doesn't care who they sell to as long as they have valid ID. Trolling around outside the guns shows, facebook/armslist and swap meets trying to make a quick buck. I don't have a solution. Making it harder for everyone to legally purchase doesn't change anything, it can't affect face to face, it certainly won't decrease the number of guns stolen by criminals and it will not have an impact of sales other than increasing cost and taking longer to actually take possession of your new firearm. FWIW, I try to ensure I don't contribute to the problem and only buy and sell ftf with folks who are well known to me either directly or through a friend.
  4. ^^^^^^^^^^^^ What he said I'm an under the radar kind of guy
  5. Practicality would take me down the convertible trail...especially if your semi's are in 9
  6. Bring shelters if you got them. Rain in the forecast. If rain ground will be extra sloppy

  8. I think the militarization of the police began in the 20 and 30s when criminals could easily acquire surplus weapons and took the time to learn how to use them. Cops were outgunned so they got the equivalent firepower. Fast forward to today and the myth is spread that so many criminals have and use main battle rifles and equivalents that Cops must have greater firepower to protect and serve.
  9. If it's the only reason you use the service provider. In this case the provider failed to build a relationship with the customer to overcome a failure in the key element retaining the customer's business.
  10. The full version is also on YouTube
  11. I woke up at DCCCXXVII this morning.
  12. I hope to post a positive carbine review soon. I'll be trying out mine at Randy's rifle class next Saturday. I bought it for plinking but why not see if it can be an effective short range (25-35 yards) and home defense gun. I upgraded to the TS stock, popped on a BSA red dot and have 6 mags. I'm curious how it holds up and functions.

  14. That's probably an AOW under the sea...
  15. I'm guessing Martin will finally finish writing the epic and release books with the disclaimer "based on HBO's award winning series"
  16. Must have been on a Saturday, way too many people home from work and school on a sunny afternoon.
  17. Use a passphrase...like "My wife is a gun nut" Spaces are "symbols" and a letter can be replaced by a number. My w1fe 1s a gun nut
  18. I don't reload, but youse guys "re-purposing" ingenuity is pretty darn cool. Thanks for sharing quality information and advice!
  19. My first 1911 was a metro arms commander. I think Dolo's go to handgun is a 5" Metro with all mim parts swapped to higher quality replacements. Their line has expanded to include some pretty cool variants, many in your 450 - 800 price point. Fwiw, my next 1911 style will be in 9mm
  20. 75B Omega and a SDP from CZC here. The only mechanical failure I've had with thousands of rounds through both handguns is the trigger bar spring broke in my 75B.
  21. Noticed a plethora of SCSD around the Fast Cash / Krystal / Pilot area about an hour ago. Overhead a conversation at the Pilot that a vehicle was in the fast cash parking lot hood up apparently broken down. The 2 people with the vehicle tried to get the jump on the folks opening the fast cash this morning.
  22. I think they're taking advantage of location. Not much competition in the area.
  23. As a bit of a history buff, you are correct, the Romans perfected capital punishment. Used it both as a very public announcement of the consequences for breaking the law and entertainment for the Mob.
  24. http://gods411.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-jesus-dies-for-you.html?m=1 He suffered, died and was buried and on the third day He rose in fulfillment of the Scriptures! If you don't believe, it's still a horrific FYI. Happy Easter to all with my prayers you rejoice in the unconditional and un-earned love, mercy, grace and peace of God. My He touch your hearts and minds so you may know Him better.
