  1. But if you set your asking price for a 15-70% in comparison to other retailers/independent sellers, you're the devil and you should be taken out into the town square and stoned.

    However unintentional that it may have been, I think that most find it insulting that someone would ask such a price when they can be bought for significantly less with the same or more options. Those who dont find it insulting, I think find it funny that someone would be delusional to ask for such a high price

  2. They are illegal to use not own. But you have to make the decision what is more important your life or someone talking on the phone. Besides how are you going to get caught?

    You can buy a good one online for less than $150.00 I have one I bought for use on my bike while riding but it did not work out as well as planned. It jammed all the phones out to over 100 yards great but women when crazy and started to weave all over the road and paid less attention to where they are going trying to find out why their phone stopped working. Had one almost run off the road in to a ditch.

    Thats awesome

  3. I would like to take about 100 M80s and duck tape them to the chicken shit and then set them off 1 at a time and at the end if they were still alive bury them in salt.

    The problem is Americans are to PC to do what is needed to stop this shit from happening

    It may be time to start carrying a cell phone jammer when out at public events for protection most of these types of bombs are set off using cell phones and a good jammer will block all cell phone signals within 300 feet of you and stop and explosion while you are in the area.

    Last I was aware those were and still are illegal to possess unless "authorized"

  4. Askin' n gettin' .... two different things. Jus' sayin' :rolleyes:

    At these prices, paranoia levels must be pretty high.

    Paranoia my ass. I just watched another M&P go for 1200 with full furniture 5 mags and a nice bushmaster scope. That's not a Noveski or an Adams Arms. Its an eveyday run of the mill AR that's mass produced.

  5. Weren't you just saying how a handgun could just as easily take down a group of people? Side arm should be sufficient for a lion, if it's in range anyways. He shouldn't need to kill it if it's out of range anyway.

    I wouldnt be willing to test whether or not a pistol caliber would stop a hungry cougar or mountain lion. Coyote yes, but if your attacked by a pack of them a pistol isnt going to do much

  6. "Just because somebody has a firearm they are dangerous"? "Yes sir". :nono:

    This comment right here tells me that the cops responded in an aggressive manner because it was an AR15.

    The fact that the guy in the video stated that there were coyote's, as well as cougar in the area of the hike is justification alone to carry a weapon. I would also like to reiterate they asked him if it was loaded and he said no. You can see in the video when the officer handed the weapon over the second officer confirmed this by pulling the charging handle back.

  7. The video does very little for either cause IMO. It shows that both parties were worked up before it even starts playing. The cop says there was a call. Was there? Who knows, but if there was, then this guy was the prime suspect of a (probably sensationalist) 911 call. If there was no call, then the cop wanted to talk. Even by the guys own words he is getting defensive over a simple "what are you doing". Open carry still demands discretion and a little more respect than that. I am not "pissing away my rights" or "dying on my knees" if I show respect to an officer. Most anything to prove one point or the other is conjecture so I'll bow out. I will stick by my point that things would have gone differently if he just initially answered the question posed, before the scuffle ensued.

    Like i said read the notes from the video, it says the officer called him over and the officer tried to grab the gun. That is not something you do period. That would definitely put me on the defensive

  8. I'm all for second amendment rights, but part of me thinks people that open carry, do it for situations like this. He knows exactly what's he doing, and what the outcome is going to be. He's trying to bait the police, to try and prove that he knows more about the law than they do. Which may be the case.

    Openly carrying around a semi automatic rifle, that could easily blow down a group of people, is going to get a reaction out of some people. Like it or not.

    Read the notes he was open carrying the rifle for protection

  9. These are the notes from the video. If these are indeed the facts on how it went down then I would not be amazed at some point there is a lawsuit.

    On March 16' date=' 2013, my son and I were hiking along country roads among pastures and fields with my 15-year old son to help him earn his hiking merit badge. I always enjoy these father/son hikes because it gives me time alone with my son. As I always do when we go on these hikes and walks, I took my trusty rifle with me as there are coyotes, wild hogs, and cougars in our area. In Texas, it is legal to openly carry a rifle or shotgun as long as you do so in a manner that isn't calculated to cause alarm. In other words, you can't walk around waving your rifle at people. I always carry my rifle slung across my chest dangling, not holding it in my hands.

    At about the 5 mile mark of our hike, a voice behind us asked us to stop and the officer motioned for us to approach him. He got out of his car and met us a few feet later. He asked us what we were doing and I explained that we were hiking for my son's merit badge. He then asked me what I'm doing with the rifle, to which I responded in a calm manner, "Does it matter, officer? Am I breaking the law?"

    At that point, the officer grabbed my rifle without warning or indication. He didn't ask for my rifle and he didn't suggest he would take it from me. He simply grabbed it. This startled me and I instantly pulled back - the rifle was attached to me - and I asked what he thought he was doing because he's not taking my rifle. He then pulled his service pistol on me and told me to take my hands off the weapon and move to his car, which I complied with. He then slammed me into the hood of his car and I remembered I had a camera on me (one of the requirements of the hiking merit badge is to document your hikes). This video is the rest of that encounter. Up to this point, I am not told why I am being stopped, why he tried to disarm me, or even that I'm under arrest.

    We did not set out that Saturday morning to "make a point" or cause problems. Our goal was to complete a 10-mile hike and return home without incident. My son chose a route that away from populated areas but near our home.

    The arresting officer is Officer Steve Ermis and the supervisor is Sergeant Minnicks of the Temple Police Department.

    If you agree this was a gross act of exceeded authority, please help me fight these charges

  10. according to the video notes, the guy was defensive because the cop called them over and then deliberately tried to take his weapon without notification of his intentions. Maybe he shouldn't have argued on the side of the road like that, but it shouldnt matter whether that he was carrying a rifle in a rural area like that. He stated that there were numerous coyote's, and cougar in the area. Just like here in Ohio it is perfectly legal to open carry a firearm in a safe manner. If the cop did try to forcibly remove the weapon without notification then to me thats a violation of the 4th amendment. Im curious as to when he was read his Miranda rights.
