Hello and welcome

Just sew a patch of cloth with your own heavy duty stitching on the crotch portion. That should do the trick for the durability. The Army had a huge issue with everyone's ACU pants ripping at the crotch when they were first issued (downrange of all places). Its been fixed since, but I remember having to rip chunks out of my DCUs and hand-stitching it onto the pants (on the inside) so I wouldn't walk around like the other winners with a cool breeze. Wasn't a professional job by any means, but I wasn't going to win hearts and minds with my style.

Ha, well, equal justice does not mean he would be treated like every other joe. I agree wholeheartedly that his punishment should be more severe then say a father trying to cover for his son-- based on the fact that he's abusing his position. What I do not agree with is that his punishment should be more severe based on the fact that he's a jerk/idiot. I know, the latter seems like an overstatement, but I feel like that is what is being taken out of context. I think its the same reason why NJ will never be able to solve the issue with corruption in our own state. Why? Simply because we create a society where its "ok" or "hip" to skirt around the law until we get caught [insert Sopranos example]... and when someone is caught, then they're an idiot or democrat, as of late. We do nothing to admonish the system, just the individual. I know, I know, there are a lot of us that do blame the system... but a prime example of this is the book "The Soprano State." The book, and the updates the authors have made since on their site, were an absolute great opportunity for the masses to call out the institutional issue... and yet, we stop at just blaming the individuals, and not make any real progress on the problem. As I've said, I agree that this mayor should receive the long arm of the law based on the fact that justice is an absolute, and he'll get that position he apparently covets shoved right up his :obscene-buttsmiley:

I'm glad the residents and council members are condemning the actions taken by the Mayor. As long as the ship is righted, no real harm done. Should the mayor be made an example of? I don't think so. Justice is an absolute, and making an example of someone mires the whole ideal. The mayor should receive the equal punishment, and the rest will be water under the bridge.

Just use a pen or the firing pin to depress the button for the trigger guard. Though, I do agree the punches would have other uses, and not just with firearms.

I hate both teams. Though, I abhor the city of Philthadelphia more then any place I have ever been to in the entire world. So, any team but a Philly team is fine with me.

This sounds like an order-- a lawful order at that :text-bravo:

Good seeing everyone again. Got my membership last night, so, I definitely will make an effort to be there on a consistent basis (so I can get my money's worth!). Thanks for letting me put some rounds downrange on the Kimber and CZ, TBT. Now I just need to get the funds so I can get both once my permits come in

happy birthday

hello and welcome

I have enjoyed those new fusion flavors. In fact, I might go pick some up later.

Agreed. I had the opportunity to see it work first hand. I don't know if it would be effective in the US though. Many people in the States feel entitled; Iraqis had nothing, and just wanted to trust someone. Its a great idea though.

Gosh that's nice... and by that, I mean I'm officially jealous. I've been thinking about putting together a 6.8 [or 6.5] system, and your rifle is scratching that itch again. Definitely let us know how it does when you get the chance to stretch its legs.

Already cleared plans for the evening so I could make it. Don't know how much shooting I'll be doing, as its been too long since I had the opportunity to have some face time. I'm going to try and be there around 7-7:30 (so I can get some shooting done!).

I should be there.

hello and welcome

I agree with the principle that for certain standards, such as speeding limits, rules are rules. Last ticket I received, which was my first, I didn't ask for any lenience or even hint at it-- why should I? I failed to maintain a standard that is truly in place to protect individuals (though it was downgraded). Whether or not speeding tickets is just a way for the municipality/state to make an extra buck is debatable (as shown)...

Aye, same here. Though, mine's aged maybe 18 days

There are way too many to be named... it really depends though. Would you want to be on the front range or further west into the actual Rockies?

Happy birthday!

Hehe, "armor piercing rifles." Its been said before, but unless you melt down that rifle and shoot it out another-- or thrust it hard enough to go through some kevlar, I don't see how the rifle can be armor piercing. Now, armor piercing rounds, that is a bit different I suppose. edit: I know you're being facetious :roll:

Ugh, I've been debating getting a 700 forever now. Thank you, Maks, ahead of time if you make my wallet lighter in the next couple weeks.

I hear you. I received the line o' shots at BCT, and then the follow ups. I then was inoculated again when I got to my unit. And then for certain situations, I received even more that I'd rather not name. And then big Army misplaced my shot records, and I was inoculated all over again... not to mention the yearly flu shots.

Nice, welcome to the MP15ORC family! I have one myself, and I know a couple other fellas do too. I'll try to get a picture of mine up later as well

No doubt that the politicians are maneuvering the situation. However, the threat of a pandemic that could cripple society is quite feasible-- and scary as hell. I don't care about the media or politicians trying to sink that thought into my head-- I've read the intel reports on the possibilities (natural or man made)... and the impact could be absolutely devastating... and is not as far-fetched as people could imagine. Regardless, this situation is preying on the fears of the greater whole. Last time this happened, the politicians signed in the PATRIOT Act without so much as reading it...
