Bump $400 takes it can a mod please update the title and clean up my repeated bump posts? Only trades I'm really interested in would be a G17 or G19, Springfield xD, or 1911. MIGHT add a little cash on my side but would rather sell outright or trade straight up. EDIT: Thanks mods

Saw it at Marcus Crosswoods on Tuesday ($5!!!) in their reserved seating leather recliners, albeit on a smaller screen. I want to see it on a mega screen. Is the 3D version any good? I'm not against 3D but I'm not into it if it's not done well. Sometimes 3D seems forced and unnecessary but if it enhances the experience I'm gonna see it again in 3D. I'll probably see it again anyways.

Interested. PM me info?

I've had a Moss 500, a Rem 870 and a Benelli Supernova. The Benelli was by far my favorite to shoot and own, the Rem 870 is the most popular, but if I were buying one SG to keep for life, it'd be the Moss 500. They're not as configurable as the Rem 870 in my experience (at least from a cost/benefit perspective), so however you're going to want it (pistol grip, long mag tube, etc) buy it that way rather than expecting to customize it. That also goes for the Benelli. Obviously my experience is anecdotal but I really just liked the fit & finish of the Mossberg over the Remington. As someone else said, safety position is definitely a consideration (I prefered the Mossberg), as is loading. IIRC loading the Mossberg was MUCH easier than loading the Remington, slightly different mechanisms but it's been a long time since I had them. As with any gun, buy whatever's most comfortable for you.

question, what would be a good type animal to house in such a tank? I had a leopard gecko in HS and I think he lived in a tank this size, might've been bigger though.

No dealer that could sell a Mosler would be so incompetent as to send the car with Shamrock. If you're not sending that with Reliable transport and/or an enclosed trailer, you're putting it on a fully articulating flatbed that can lay the bed flat on the ground so you don't have to worry about scraping.

This.

Yep, bought it on a whim, upgraded the guide rod, then couldn't get comfortable with it. D'oh. Guess that's why everyone has slightly different designs, everyone's hand is a little different. I've had things like a double stack Makarov that other people swore was horrifying uncomfortable but fit my hand perfectly. Oh well.

Bought it from a member here recently, decided it's not the right handgun for me, just doesn't fit my hand properly. Comes with a case, 2 magazines, I think I've got 100rds of ammo. Polymer frame, hammer fired fullsize handgun, very smooth and nice gun. One common complaint is the polymer guide rod so when i got it I upgraded to a stainless one. Comes with both. Will edit with pictures soon. More interested in cash than trades, but shoot me an offer. PM or text six one four four nine nine eleven twelve edit: photos http://imgur.com/a/8Te1D

I don't know how people say this with a straight face, I lose it whenever I hear this :lolguy::lolguy:

I think the perfect narcissist's car is a Lamborghini. Not that all Lambo owners are narcissists, but back in my valet days the most narcissistic car owners were people who drive Brodozers, Corvettes (especially the couple people who got ZR1s), and Gallardos. There was one dude who had all 3 (ZR1, Gallardo spyder, lifted Silverado 2500) and he was a giant doucher.

As much hate as Doug gets, I wrote in to his Letters to Doug column a while back before my Pacific Coast Highway roadtrip to get some tips for places to visit. I happened to be planning to propose on that trip and while he didn't end up choosing my question to publicly address, he did write a LONG personal email back to me detailing his own adventures, advising me on a couple places that I might pop the question, and eagerly asking for an update once we got home. His personal reply contained none of the ridiculous lyrical stylings that you're used to reading, and he came across as a genuinely nice guy who was happy for me. The guy's writing is just entertainment, and he's an entertainer. When you think of him as an entertainer rather than a journalist, it all makes a lot more sense and his style is a bit easier to accept. TL;DR DeMuro and I had some short email exchanges regarding a road trip I was taking and I thought he was a really nice, really genuine guy that is not at all what his entertainment personality appears to be.

I was just trollin, I've got a R1200C that I don't plan on getting rid of for a looooong time.

trade for motorcycle? :gabe: GLWS, gonna try to talk my boss into this, he's been toying with the idea of a track car for a while

She can probably get a well equipped ATS AWD with similar miles in the same price range. Might be a little more expensive due to the fact ATS came out in 2013 vs a 2011 MB, but that ATS would also still be under warranty for quite a while. Maybe even a little older CTS that'd still have powertrain warranty. Also Lexus IS can be had with AWD in the same price and age range.

Even though it's under warranty I always recommend a pre-purchase inspection. Worth the $100-200 to have a certified MB tech put it up on a rack and make sure there's no ugly history hiding underneath.

For $20k she can get so much more car unless what she really wants is the 3 pointed star on the front, which is usually the case with women who ogle C-classes.

And this too

R&D for a car from scratch can easily get into the 9-figure range. ~$300mil to bring a car like this, which basically uses no new technology, to market from scratch sounds about right. $53mil can disappear really quickly when you need to constantly market a product that's not for sale.

It takes a ridiculous amount of money to bring a car to market when you're an established auto manufacturer, let alone when you're nobody.

The so called "fallacy" in your example is based purely on accuracy training. Are you suggesting that a civilian is just as well trained as a member of our military or police to make split second decisions with a gun in hand when they're in the heat of battle? I'll use the example of a street fighter versus a professional fighter. There are PLENTY of civilians with no training whatsoever who are punch harder and faster than a trained MMA fighter. But that's not what makes a good fighter; what makes a good fighter is situation awareness, knowledge of how to handle disadvantageous situations, and the ability to train one's body in times of stress. You've been punched in the face, right? You know that sudden rush of adrenaline? That's what hurts a majority of normal people in a fight. They don't control that adrenaline, they just feed off it and allows them to punch super hard and super quick, but any professional fighter worth his salt can duck those punches because they have trained their mind and body to control their adrenaline. They can let an untrained fighter burn off that adrenaline energy quickly, and they can temper their own body's adrenaline production to see the smaller gaps in their opponent's defense and exploit them AS THEIR TRAINING HAS MADE THEM ABLE TO DO. I don't think anyone is suggesting police and military are better in these situations because they are more accurate or have more range time. I think police and military are better in these situations because they've been through things like basic training, which teach you how to operate intelligently and decisively under extremely stressful conditions, and they teach you the muscle memory reactions in split-second decision making that can be the difference between identifying someone as a threat or a bystander and shooting accordingly. Going back to my fighter example for a second; a typical untrained fighter who gets punched in the face is immediately going to experience a rush of adrenaline and a fight/flight response. Assuming they've never been in a fight before, they're going to be throwing wide haymakers and be 100% offense rather than assessing the situation and finding their advantage. Now imagine the person having that reaction has a gun. Is that someone you want "protecting" you? EDIT: Words

A college roommate and extremely good friend of mine's heritage is Pakistani, he was born in the U.S. and his parents are both doctors in Springfield OH. He's a socially liberal guy, and a practicing Muslim. He doesn't eat bacon, he doesn't drink or do drugs, but other than that he's a pretty normal guy. I went to his wedding in CA in June, his wife's family is very similar in their beliefs. During the Nikah (what we'd equate to the wedding ceremony in Western culture) the imam spoke at length about the difference between traditional Islam and modern Islam, praising the couple for being the embodiment of modern, liberal Islam that shuffles off the harsh, restrictive traditions that many associated with radical Islam. Hell, his wife doesn't wear any kind of headscarf or covering, she is an independent woman and they are both going to be doctors very soon. And yet...about 5 weeks ago she was verbally assaulted/berated by one of her superiors at work because she is Muslim. Someone she respected, who is well known in his field as a surgeon, took the time out of his day to tell her what scum she is, how she has no place in America, and how she and her brethren should go back to the desert and fuck camels. This is a woman who was born in America, who has worked her ass off to become a doctor and help Americans get healthy, and who is IMO the embodiment of the argument AGAINST bigotry because she is simply a down to Earth, loving person regardless of her beliefs. I don't care what you think, everyone's entitled to their own WRONG opinion, but if you feel the need to berate someone to their face for what they believe instead of trying to understand who they are as an individual, you need to reevaluate how you represent what America stands for.

http://controversialtimes.com/issues/constitutional-rights/12-times-mass-shootings-were-stopped-by-good-guys-with-guns/ Not sure I agree with everything but just providing the link I assume you were talking about. EDIT: Going down the list, there are some pretty strong arguments for a lot of other things BESIDES everyone in the area carrying firearms to protect themselves. I'm going to ignore the speculations such as "authorities say there might've been more victims if..." or "due to the school policy on...", rather just state facts. 1+2: both assailants were under 18y/o, but were able to obtain firearms somehow. 3: School, site of assault, was a "gun free zone" but both students who stopped the shooter were police officers who obviously have training with guns and retrieved them from their cars. 4: The quoted portion of the article fails to mention that the savior in this situation was also a police officer at some point, obviously received specialized training. 5: 79 year old assailant, again the article fails to mention the savior is a police officer. 6: 62 year old assailant, school resource officer aka police officer stopped him. 7: Convicted felon obtained his shotgun illegally from his sister, was later determined incompetent to stand trial. Savior in this situation was NOT a police officer. 8: Savior is INCORRECTLY described as just a "shopper at the mall" with a concealed carry license, rather he was trained as an armed security guard by the Oregon Department of Public Safety. Savior NEVER discharged his firearm, and while the "authorities say his actions caused the gunman to cease his attack" if you read the savior's description of events, the gunman's AR-15 jammed, he retreated, cleared the gun and killed himself with it. 9: Bouncer at the strip club who shot the gunman was U.S. Army infantry prior to being a bouncer 10: Not enough info, assuming the victim/CCW was a civilian with no training, but was assisted by coworkers who were not armed. 11: Armed security guard stopped the shooting 12: Psychiatric patient/convicted felon was able to obtain a gun and kill his case worker, was stopped by CCW carrying psych doctor. Conclusions from this article: 1) Over half of the saviors were easily found to have had extensive firearms training, specifically in the context of defending themselves AND OTHERS. 2) Of those 5 who I could not easily confirm had such training, 2 of them were up against kids, 2 were up against clearly mentally disturbed people, and one was up against a normal human, but had several other people helping him subdue the attacker. 3) Be careful what you quote and what you read, because all these instances could just as easily be spun to support a "we need tighter gun controls and extensive family background checks!" argument. Not that I believe it, but I'm just saying this article is total clickbait. 4) The only time you should EVER involve yourself in a shooting situation is if you have extensive training for such a situation, or if you have no other choice and you're in immediate danger of being killed.
