  1. And you can take 'em skiing once you hook 'em. Pretty cool rig, good luck!
  2. A Brit with a gun? Will wonders never cease? Welcome the light side (or right side) of the Force!
  3. This is pretty cool. Income dropped $6k from 17 to 18 Tax burden dropped $6k from 17 to 18 Will someone please explain why I should work harder to make up the income this year. And, how many tax payers are making payments on previous years, how much credit card debt reflects taxes due. Seems the actual tax collection is the Ponzi scheme. Paid $1100 this year, so pretty good on payroll deduction.
  4. Add a sport coat. I'd suggest a pattern (box plaid, hounds tooth, etc) vs. a solid color. Recently switched to 9oclock OWB, easy to ensure my jacket is always positioned for concealment in all situations.
  5. Welcome aboard from East Tennessee
  6. You might want to pm AuEagle
  7. Johnson's Great Society, aka the War on Poverty. Are we winning? If increasing single parent Black families from 30% to over 60%, with White and Latino percentages rising as well, its a success. We struggled and continue to struggle with our 26 year old kid, I cannot imagine the challenges a single parent faces.
  8. Gangs offer father figures to young men and boys, a nuclear family of sorts, that supposedly kids actually want. Replace Dad with .gov as the "in lieu of absent parent," you have created a recruiting model.
  9. A quick reload, single shot Derringer is not my idea of a good defensive firearm, especially since it's supposed to be an auto-loader. Worse, after warranty service, is distressing, you'd think they'd have the higher skill level gunsmiths in that department. You may have a lemon. Keep returning it on their dime, or be the squeaky wheel, and they may replace it. Its worth zero as is, so work Taurus' Warranty for Life. Side note, have 2 acquaintances with excellent reliability from other Taurus models.
  10. Buy new or different or improve what you got. Stock Glocks run, improved Glocks need testing, just like any improved firearm. 100% increase over the initial investment may seem crazy, but that's what 2 and soon 3 of my CZs will represent. Being thrifty, I like the option of improve what you got.
  11. Welcome!
  12. Mac is on to something, I think the reason for the backdoor is the elites of these Centers of Higher Learning want the "right" names on buildings and grants. Movie stars, fashion designers, and the noveau riche need not apply.
  13. Exactly, rich AND famous. Elites have been doing openly for years, going through the front door with grants and donations.
  14. Well, coupled with the trillion dollars student loan debt, it appears those sheepskins have been cheapened for years. https://www.npr.org/2019/03/12/702539140/u-s-accuses-actresses-others-of-fraud-in-wide-college-admissions-scandal Years, because I'm cynical and these are the only ones who got caught. My guess is Hallmark will drop Lori like a college kid with an 8am physics class
  15. I occasionally pass through heading home from Winchester, welcome aboard!
  16. Fujimo has 3 SPs for sale in the trading post. .327, .38/.357, 9mm
  17. Pic?
  18. Hakan Pek (Google Fu) are thin wood, the OEM plastics are about the smallest overall even with the slight palm swell. I like the rubber grips, but they are the most bulky in my opinion To ease the first DA pull, I carry both my DA/SA at half cock which is the same resting position after engaging the decocker on my SDP. Maybe aluminum panels, they're pretty thin. You can also shorten the reach and reset on non-Omega models with Cajun Gun Works or CZ Custom (only two I've used)
  19. What would have happened if it wasn't a blow back? Still amazed the back pressure didn't do any damage to the bolt, stock or receiver cover. https://www.guns.com/news/2019/03/07/hi-point-warranty-center-finds-carbine-barrel-stuffed-with-35-bullets Unfortunately, it adds to the stereo-type that folks who buy budget price points have less than budget knowledge and skill.
  20. Gemini Customs did a great job on my SP101
  21. The TriStar aspires to be CZexy. I recently learned the 75B is one of the most copied pistols on the market, something to due with a lack of copyright. Having started with CZ, I never really looked at any of the alternates. If mags and some parts are compatible, I see no reason to not to save a few dollars. A $150-$200 savings = training and ammo Fall in love with the platform and want to make it better, you will more than likely have to buy a CZ for custom gunsmithing and parts for DIY projects.
  22. Attack, with your knee or hand, your opponent's testicles. 13 references Get Tough, by Maj. W.E Fairbairn
  23. Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, “I am a warrior.” Joel 3:10
  24. G - this is the 4oz can.
