    Glock 17?

    Buy whatever you shoot the best. I am not a Glock fan boy and I hate the way it feels in my hand but I can out shoot every other pistol I have shot with it. Rent what you think you might want to buy, do not go by holding it at the display case; how it fits your hand is only part of how well it will shoot for you.

    Glock 17?

    If you want to have fun at the range then get the G34, plus it makes a nice home defense weapon. The G34 is more accurate than the G17 for range duty but only equal to it for home defense as both use the same magazines. The G17 is not the best range gun they make is more accurate than the G19 but not as concealable. If you think you might want to carry the G19 is a great choice because it conceals almost as well as the G26 and is almost as accurate as the G17 plus it will hold G17 magazines for extra capacity so it lends itself for both duties. (Carry and home defense not range.) If the G34 didn't exist the G19 is what I would own. I have a G34 and am in search of a good price on a G26.

    We were pushing and I was being selfish since it had been so long since I had ridden that I wasn't riding by normal group riding pace. If we had been slowing down like normal between curves the guy on the 14 might not have gone down. I trusted you guys to ride within your limits and probably should have changed how we were riding with a new guy or gone out on my own. Have you heard from him or do you know how to contact him. I wonder how he is doing.

    I meant to post this sooner but didn't get around to it. I crossed the double yellow on this ride so for the second time in about five years I feel like I crashed. The first time was on 536 a few years ago and now this ride. We all make mistakes and hopefully learn from them. I hadn't ridden in a long time this summer and looked in my mirrors to see where everyone was at which is something I never do for this very reason. The road went downhill and to the right and I wasn't prepared for it. Luckily I could see the whole curve and the road was clear on the other side. I might have been able to save it if there were a vehicle traveling the other direction but I gave up on it when I saw it was clear. Be careful out there guys; you can get bit at anytime and if you are pushing the pace, pay attention.
  5. 235 and still going strong, carry on. Semper Fi!
  6. When you get your license renewed take your DD214 with you so the armed forces logo can be put on your license. Supposedly this will suffice as proof at Home Depot for the 10% discount and others may honor it as well. This is what I was told when I had my license renewed. I run veteran plates and they still made me bring my DD214 to them again to get this put on my license. I have not tried this so I don't know how it works.

    Video? Did you get any video of the last ride?

  10. I only tip them, when I go balls deep, they tend to scream!
  11. I was going to take him in a whole different direction but carry on Garrett. I love me the affirmative action bitches, it's what makes me work, so I can afford the finer things in life.
  12. I is not a real lawyer but I play one on the internets.
  13. http://www.ohio-riders.net/showpost.php?p=580563&postcount=18 So KK doesn't think I'm picking on him. I do not understand this repeated statement of being qualified to hold a job that is unique and no one has ever held before. Other than the minimum criteria already in place that everyone meets how does one get to be more qualified than another?
  14. On that note the 2008 elections had a 72% turnout and this one was projected at 55%. My county only had a 47% turnout. I get what you're saying but some would argue that there isn't a definitive difference between the parties so they don't feel the need to pick one. Different perspective, same result.
  15. Every president meets the minimum requirements. No first term president has ever held the position before so how is anyone "qualified" for the position? What criteria beyond what is already established do you suggest we add? I have one, prior honorary military experience.
  16. Usually being an asshole is fun and I thought this thread would be more fun but soon realized it was fail. I just couldn't pull off being a lefty gun banner with any real flair. I apologize for my attempt failing to entertain even me; I thought it had so much potential at the start. Where were all the anti gun people at?
  17. I will be more than happy to get into why and how the cold war played out including why some countries would willingly jump into a fight with equal firepower to ours but that wouldn't be addressing where I was going with my point. Our superior arsenal of ordinance compared to that of Japan is not relevant to an armed society with all being equal. When faced with similar firepower and rules of engagement if someone has an agenda to push they are not withering away from a fight, their tactics might change but they will still bring the fight. (Vietnam, Al-qaeda.) Arm every citizen in our country and crime would not go away, how it is implemented might change but murders and robberies would still happen. There is a vast difference in our populace and regardless of being armed or not there will still be victims. If you are one who believes that you won’t be a victim then the saying is probably true for you but it doesn’t make it so for everyone. I would never advocate not allowing anyone the right to carry, I advocate taking away the stupid license requirement. Yes, I think you should say fuck off it's my right to defend myself just as much as if someone would question my right to breathe. It isn't anyone else’s place to restrict or question my ability to do either. Defending either position with flawed arguments isn't going to change anyone’s mind. I was disappointed with most of the replies to the extent that if someone had the opinion that concealed carry was wrong there isn't a compelling argument to defend the other side to change their opinion. Either someone gets it or they don't, if they think that they have the right to restrict your liberty your not going to change their mind with wishy washy repeated drivel.
  18. ^This I was trolling because I was bored and can't believe some of the regulars didn't call me out. I don't like most of the arguments people use for defending concealed carry or gun ownership in general because I find them to be unnecessary and usually full of holes. The trend in crime statistics is one of them, it went down because of it or we need it because it has gone up, lame. The whole “an armed society is a polite one” is also one based on nothing but a pipe dream. The states that don’t have overly restrictive gun laws still have plenty crime committed against their society. Maybe they aren’t armed well enough yet. People still go to war with each other even though both sides are armed why doesn’t this theory apply here? We have a god given right to defend ourselves and begging a master for the privilege to do so rubs me the wrong way. I didn't see an argument here that would have changed an antis mind so I find that fight futile. Currently there are three states that allow for concealed carry without a permit and I don't understand why all of the states aren't that way. The statistics on crimes committed by permit holder’s means nothing, just as statistics for police officers who commit crimes means nothing; we aren't going to take away firearms away from either group because of a minority of idiots.
  19. It is only a state felony. There are three states that allow you to carry concealed without a license and more on the way. No felony in these states for being a free man.
  20. Read my replies here to figure out what you think my answer would be. http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=61990
  21. I voted for Kasich but didn't like it. When the chief justice died he was replaced by an appointed judge until this election. I will not through away a vote when it has long term consequences like a Supreme Court ruling. That is why McCain got my vote as well. DeWine didn't get my vote though and I still haven't voted for a Democrat in my lifetime.
