  1. I don't think either Ruby Ridge or Waco could be correctly categorized as terrorist events. I also don't recall ever seeing either labeled as such. Sadly that label is thrown around willy nilly these days, very similar to "communist" in the 60s. I've been somewhat following these events, and am starting to get a better understanding of the situation. If I get time today I'll post some more.
  2. New house is great. Way to many projects. I'm in for boarding, just let me know.
  3. Sucks Mike. Can you bring it buy for me to test drive?
  4. Stop drinking. Stop complaining (negativity will only breed more negativity). Start eating better Start getting more exercise 35 is not too old to make new and more challenging goals.
  5. Typical Thanks for the heads up though.
  6. Not my company. Posting for a friend. http://www.n-ovationtech.com/open-positions.html
  7. I'll mention that the gf. This is kind of her deal, I was just trying to get more exposure. thanks for the replies
  8. We bought it from Florida Tile directly. They will only take it back within 4 weeks. It's been 6 now.
  9. Probably a long shot on here. Left overs from our bathroom remodel. http://columbus.craigslist.org/hsh/5358703495.html
  10. Will there be a Christmas tree and presents?
  11. Did you go into the basement or just into the house? If you went into the basement I'd get my affairs in order. If just into the house I'd give you 50/50 survival rate.
  12. Between this post and your gun thread posts I feel like we should be best friends.
  13. With enough interest we could set up a class. Joe also does individual training. I will be as well when my range is finished.
  14. Here is an article from a less "conservative" source. This one (to me) reads in a much less biased way. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2015/10/03/do-civilians-with-guns-ever-stop-mass-shootings/
  15. That's certainly one way to spin that. One would also argue that the situation went as best it could have. His friend was able to move freely with in a public place, conduct his business, and when the kids attempted to intimidate him/force their will on him, he was able to stop that from happening. He was able to do this without he or the kid being physically harmed. I am curious if he reported this to the police. If he even did I doubt it was recorded in any meaningful way to allow us to see how many times a firearm in the hands of a responsible citizen is used to stop a violent crime. That's a statistic I would be interested in seeing. I've heard speculation that it is a very high number. Now one thing I will again agree on you with. Anyone on here that carries a gun for self protection. GET MORE TRAINING. In most cases your CCW instructor was a dickbag just wanting to make a buck. He/she didnt tell you all you need to know. Even if you had a good instructor 4 hours of range time isnt sufficient. As GTO alluded to. People arent meant to kill other people (psychologically). Have you thought about what it would be like to actually have to kill someone? I know people who have had to do this. I knew them before and after, I promise you they were not the same.
  16. That is not what we were discussing at all. We were specifically discussing a CCW holders ability to stop a violent encounter, specifically an active shooter situation. This would imply that at this time, the only course of action would be to "go to guns". My point to that discussion is that police and military to not have a significantly higher level of training that civilians. I would also argue that the majority of our military are lacking in the support structure of conflict resolution/support ect that police have, but you put them on the same level. Now concerning a ccw being your go to resolution for any conflict resolution... I will agree with you there. If a persons mindset is the gun is the only tool in the tool box, then I would wager they will not legally be able to carry a gun for long.
  17. FYI the OPOTA yearly qualification course is a 25 round string of fire. This is the only time they are required to train with and fire their guns. A passing score is 20 of 25 shots. The majority of military personal do not train with handguns, and those that I have worked with have had to be retrained from scratch. While I won't comment on the skill level of the average CCW holder, the myth that Police and Military have an exponentially higher skill set simply is not true.
  18. You all better start contacting your down stream.
  19. I have had Tula .223 get stuck in the chamber of my S&W M&P that had to be beaten out with the cleaning rod. I have also had an over pressured Tula 9mm round explode a gun in my hand. I will note that was 1 .223 round out of over 600 shot, and Tula paid for all the ammo I had from that lot, and bought me a new gun. This was also during the ammo shortage when companies were cranking out tons of ammo and I'm sure quality control was slipping.
