Anyone else buy the limited time Adidas "Don't Tread on Me" hat? The US national soccer team also has their own version as well (printed for the 2006 WC). The Adidas version is pretty slick though, and it was an immediate buy when I saw it at my local Dick's: Always need some headgear

onPoint Tactical is another big name in the field, and they too are based here in NJ. I've heard Tom Brown's tracker school is better for the wilderness aspect, while onPoint is more geared towards tactical and urban survival (of sorts). Here's the site for onPoint though: http://onpointtactical.com/

Thanks for sharing the find-- always good to have more options. I think the reason why DirtyDigz prefers PK's version is because since the base plate isn't permanently attached, it can be removed for further cleaning. Personally I'm hoping the factory version of cut-down PMags from Magpul (whenever they are released) won't disappoint.

Also, last I heard, its not outright illegal for privately owned firearms to be brought on to a military installation. The vast majority of military installations do not allow for privately owned firearms to be carried, but there are definitely exceptions-- its the decision of every installation commander. The location I had worked at did allow for firearms to be carried (conceal or not) on to the installation, though the firearm had to be kept in the vehicle (and not allowed into the actual facilities/buildings).

I don't concern myself too much with the XD or 870, as I don't even take them to the range that often (and run few rounds when I do). My AR I clean every time though. I do it to look for anything that might lead to a failure; because if I'm depending on it as my life-line, I should show it the respect to ensure it goes 'boom' every time; and Uncle made it muscle memory regardless.

I saw the review on the Battle Comp on M4C. I'd like to see it in person... as for the price, it seems like the poor man's KAC triple tap, which leads me too... The KAC "triple tap" brake. I've heard different things about how difficult it is to pin it (due to its machining). The price is also a bit much ($430~).

http://www.claytonmspaparazzi.com/2010/ ... order.html We've seen the stories, here's some legitimate pictures. They don't go into detail, but it can be deduced that most of the rifles in that picture seem to have been from a government purchase of some sort... or, more so, that they weren't straw purchases (I don't know where I can get 14.5'', select fire M4s openly :roll: ). Pretty eye opening though.

If I'm using my own backers (at Range 14 for example), I actually use aerosol spray glue: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/e ... 7/Super77/ Takes me two quick sprays, then placing the target in place without worrying about it coming loose, etc. I picked up a few cans of the super 77 from my local ACE for $9 a can or so.

And Hitler stepped up for Germany in a time of bread rationing and other extremes... the same could be associated with many other terrible, terrible people/groups. I'm not saying that the neo-nazi's would step up to gain some more power or whatnot... but these types of groups are not heroes. Sure, they might be taking action in a time of in-action, but that doesn't make them good men. Further, as its been said, the media will use this to associate those crazies with the greater whole, and that would be a shame.

Its a 'fun' show. As for it being a "top gun" type thing is pretty misleading (as its been noted already). The fact that the opposing team can choose to sit who they want instead of facing possibly the best competition possible kind of takes away from things-- and the show became really underwhelming when I saw that was the show's solution to the imbalance (of people).

I could see the benefit of organizing into boxes if someone is testing out specific loads (for benchmarking, etc). I personally put everything in freezer bags of 150-- old habit.

"One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." Though, with that said, I don't think of myself or anyone else who's been involved with this conflict as a murderer of any sort-- and would gladly put anybody who wanted to harm Americans or our allies in the ground in a heart beat. In the end, the line is drawn in the sand, and there is no forcing anybody to take any side (at least in our American philosophy). So, to sum up how I feel about it, in another quote, "Oderint Dum Metuant."

I consider myself central as well. I'm literally in the middle of the state (Greater Princeton area). An hour from NYC and Philly, as well as the "mountains" and shore. Trenton is definitely a bit south-central, though I would consider New Brunswick a bit north-central . Regardless, welcome.

As I've said, I can't say that the agent is completly in the wrong as I was not there. Details saying that the child was roughly 60 feet away though leads me to believe that the action of shooting in response wasn't necessarily jusified. As more details emerge I may or may not be right. For the sake of the agent and th ones he's responsible for, I hope he ends up in a favorable position. But we must be responsible for our actions.

If that is the case, which your argument is solid, then please combine every thread on this forum that has ever had to do with the issue of illegal immigration. Otherwise, I don't see how addressing the issue of necessary force in this specific thread is putting myself on a lofty tower. I said that I avoided the broader issue of illegal immigration because that topic is being discussed in numerous other threads already. So, again, if you wanted to discuss the entire issue while disregarding the OP, then, mods, please combine ALL threads that have to do with immigration. I'm not trying to fight you here. I'm not trying to disrespect anyone here. I have been addressing, for the most part, a main topic from the get-go. If you have harsh words for me, PM me, and leave the bullying and group think for shittier forums.

Arrogant how? I'm addressing a certain perspective of this situatuion (the argument of necessary force), and yet people continue to berate me based on a whole different argument that I am NOT addressing (on purpose). That is why I said things are over people's heads-- not because someone isn't smart enough or whatnot, but because people aren't readng my posts when countering. ETA: taking things out of context is not reading what I'm posting.

Everyone can agree that something must be done about immigration reform. I do not necessarily disagree with the actions of the agent (as I've noted previously), as I was not in that exact situation, but as it stands-- the actions do not seem justified. At this point, I won't argue my point because it is apparently going over everyone's heads. Understand that I do agree, with EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD, that something must be done about our border security. However, in this exact case, equal and justified force is not reciprocating rocks with bullets. Solving every problem with pulling a trigger is not civil, no matter how much it pains us at times. Want to stoop to their level of dealing with matters with strictly violence, fine by me-- but do not represent a greater whole in your actions/words.

So, we all resort to our primal ways? Let's throw inhibitions, logic, etc to the wind. Let's forgo our greatest skill as as species, to communicate, and just F'in kill each other. I'm sure that will make us better than every other thug, rapist, murderer, terrorist, etc out there that have been plagues on man. Yes, I understand that there must be the need to necessitate evil in society. There are no absolutes, except for when people reside on such absolutes to simply balance the scale. Why is that the case? Because there must be evil for there to be good... there must be heroes for there to be villains, etc. How does that apply here? Because I understand that there is a point where violence must be used. Though, in most modern cases, this violence is a product of political lines and not necessarily the need out of survival. In this situation, if a f'in rock being thrown at people has been a repeated problem, issue protective head gear. And after that, address why or how rocks are being thrown at people to began with. Simply shooting every person you don't like is not the answer. If you do agree with the fact that "everyone should die," I honestly hope which ever authorities do keep track of this forum make note of that because that is just absolutely ridiculous.

I have had rocks thrown at me, and hit me as I was going by around 30-45MPH (no clue how hard they were thrown). Would I have been justified if I took a certain course of action? No way. Mind you, this was a favorable ROE for that matter. I'm not saying that the CBP agent's life wasn't at risk, but the necessary force in this situation seemingly isn't to shoot someone in return. Was I there? No, and that's why I'm not saying that this agent's decision making wasn't completely wrong. I'm sure the agent, as noted, feels terrible about the consequences of the actions. However, from the perspective of someone who has had to make decisions in high stress environments, this was not a very smart decision.

They do it for the buck, not necessarily because its true. I have a good deal of close friends who finished up their pharmaceutical doctorates, and they have told me how shady that business has and is today. Its sickening, but its almost a necessary evil for many as society continues its 'culture of youth.'

I don't see how throwing a rock at someone, to include the authorities, justifies "equal force" as shooting. Military personnel would be/has been prosecuted for such actions, same with DOD defense contractors (in OIF/OEF)-- Blackwater ring any bells. Sure, I agree that there has to be something done-- but shooting folk or creating another DMZ is not the response.

You know her better than any of us. If you think she's up for it, why not? That's to include being safe, etc. Just the other day, I had a lady go to the range with my buddy and I, for the first time, and she was right there with us taking shots with the 12g-- and absolutely loving it.

Yea, a good chunk of the deaths overseas are non-combat related. Along with sickness, accidents, and murders are also suicides, heat injuries/deaths, and infections. Other people just lose the will over time as well-- the battlefield can do some interesting things to people's minds. Also, a bit off topic, the news rarely goes into friendly fire incidents. A loose statistic that I had heard from military sources who looked over investigations said around 70% of casualties (injuries or death) due to being shot were FF-induced because of the setup of the battlefield. Of course those numbers can never really be verified unless the units report such incidents (Pat Tillman being a good example here). I wish the best to the brother's family and friends. Always a bit more exhausting to see another go.

Ha, ZSG has been out for awhile (2003), well before the zombie or apocalypse craze.

"NJ legal" just means it can't be on the named banned list, and the capacity of magazines can be no more than 15 rounds. As for the rounds, should be fine. As others said, get a FID regardless... And yea, I was at Huachuca for a little while, mostly for training. Sierra Vista was pretty interesting when I was there last (that was awhile ago now)... good to hear that not much has changed ( ). I still remember the moment of arriving at Huachuca/Sierra Vista for the first time. It was at night, and all I saw was this patch of lights in the darkness. With the terrain and whatnot, reminds me now of FOBs in Afghanistan with how remote it all was, ha.
