I thought they were kidding when I heard about the new Resident Evil. But here is the official teaser trailer for "Resident Evil: Afterlife"

There is no doubt that Mexico is inching, slowly, to possibly becoming a failed state at the current rate. However, as much mayhem and violence there is currently, the majority of the outstanding violence comes from a single source (cartels and affiliated gangs). From a command level, this problem is quite containable as the issues do not necessarily threaten instability at the executive level in Mexico (to the extent that regardless of what happens, cartels will only amass the power cartels can have, and not gain state powers). What I would be more concerned about is the rise in cyber crimes. I'm sure the network and IT guys can chip in and share those horror stories. While not grotesque, or as emotionally appealing, I think it will have a far more profound impact then physical violence (that has been happening since the inception of civilization 10,000+ years ago). There is NO hiding from that... no borders to protect anyone.

I hear what you're saying, Chad, in regards to respecting the authorities. I don't think there is much need for paranoia, but in the same breath I do agree that information as a whole is privileged. Maybe I take a different stand of safeguarding any shred of information about me, as minute as it can be. However, I do believe that while its not a matter of taking a stand on personal liberties against some tyrannical foe (cue music); I do believe that there are aspects that must be protected for the sake of being protected. Its the same reason why if I had kids, I would never post them online-- even if I knew the group I was sharing them with. Its the same reason why I black out my license plate (and other people's plates) if it ends up in a picture. Maybe some call it paranoia, I call it privileged information-- and its a hot commodity (information that is). So, I wouldn't necessarily tell an officer unless there was a legitimate reason. But I feel the same way when I go to the airport, and they want to do a secondary inspection (even though I was in uniform). I have no qualms if the authorities find some need to delve further for whatever reason. I won't volunteer the information, but I wouldn't resist in lawful/logical situations.

Nice buy man. I might have seen you that day, ha. I was getting some cleaning schtuff.

Yea, but airsoft is also getting progressively more expensive! For the cost of a top end airsoft gun, you could easily afford the real thing-- haha. As for this place, that is pretty cool. I don't live that far myself, and I've never heard of it either. I do prefer feedback (paintball, simunitions/FOF), but this seems like a very cost affordable/low maintenance alternative.

I finally joined and experienced Range 14, and it was worth every penny. When I was trying to figure out more information, I realized that the old site was taken down awhile back. I was royally confused, and I hope this can help. When I joined up this past Friday, I was given the flyer with their information, and noticed they had indeed updated their info. So, I just wanted to share some basics so people who haven't been there can start with more information then I initially had. Of course for further questions, contact them directly: Phone #: 6095624676 Address: Bldg. 9060; Lat/long: N40.001117 W074.545768 (For an exact location) - Maksim pointed out to me to input the intersection of Cookstown Browns Mill Rd & Cookstown-Wrightstown Rd (Lat/long: N40.047293 W074.562837), and continue south on Cookstown Brownsmill Rd for about three miles. After the first mile or so out of town, you'll hit a clearing (McGuire on the right), and as soon as you enter the woods again it will be Ft Dix land (you'll see a sign saying this). On the right and left you'll see bivouc areas and other ranges. On the left after 2-3 miles you'll see a larger sign with smaller text (readable from the road) saying "Range 14." If you go past it, you'll see "Bivouc 4" on the right, and eventually an intersection with a stop sign. After making the turn onto the road with the correct "Range 14" sign, it will take you to another stop sign-- go straight through a gated entrance. Follow the road past the skeet/trap (which is on the left), and the admin building will be at the end around the bend (where you'll see the rifle/pistol range). Website: There is not a traditional website currently. However, there is current information at: http://www.gomdl.com (MDL is the new name for the joint McGuire/Dix base) Hours: - Wednesday: 1-8PM - Friday: 1-8PM (APR-DEC) - Sat/Sunday: 8AM-4PM Fees: (All for one year from date of purchase) - $60: Cost for general public - $30: If you have ID card: Active duty, military reservist/national guard, retired/disabled Vets, DOD-CIV, NSSA member, Active Duty LEO, Ft Dix Hunting/Fishing permit holder - Paid members can have additional family members join for $15 or $10 - Range Fees: - Archery tower: $3/day - Rifle and pistol: $3/hr - Skeet and trap: $3/round (1 round = 25 clays)

Hello and welcome!

I've read the stories and seen the videos from both sides, and from the get-go, "gotcha politics" does have to cease. To me its digressive to the overall effort, and it turns into squabbling which is the problem to began with.

Yea, I'm with Mel on this one. Its unfortunate that something like this happened in a place like Mexico, but it can very well likely happen ANYWHERE, to include our own towns. The fact that the police and consulate aren't helping is a shame, and maybe there is room for argument there. But saying that this is a prime example of why nobody should like/want to go to Mexico is petty.

Morning, and welcome.

Only Sig coming in .308 that I know of is the Sig 716, though that's an AR variant-- not the same type of design like the current 556 models.

Good meeting a lot of you today. Sorry I didn't stick around when you guys hit the general range. I got back, cleaned my AR, and was immediately out the door -- and just got back again... pretty tired at this point... so, my apologies if I mix up names and faces Good seeing you again, Martin, as well as some of the new faces. njpilot, thanks for convincing me that I need to put a bolt action rifle at the top of my list now.

I'm about to head out myself. I'll be in jeans and a black shirt w/ glasses, driving a black 2010 Corolla (non-recall type!). Just bringing the AR.

I think you need an account because its a redband trailer? Ha, not really worth watching though if you don't need too.

Nice, its looking really good. Just a side suggestion because I don't know if you just didn't mention it or if you haven't thought of it yet-- but how about mounted light?

I don't think this has been posted yet. But here's the official red band trailer for Romero's latest, "Survival of the Dead" http://www.hulu.com/watch/139302/movie- ... f-the-dead Yes, it looks pretty bad.

BORDERS. I'm normally not a part of the waaambulence, but its 'borders.' As for the violence and continuing violence... well, I fear this is exactly what the cartels want, and will carry out on their threats. The cartels know they can pretty much get away with what they want right now. I honestly don't hold as much negative sentiment as some people in regards to things, but how this administration is treating things is absolutely ridiculous. Why won't this administration come right out and tell us how much trouble we're in? I'm not just talking about the border situation here, but in terms of EVERYTHING. Sure, it'll dampen the "hope" and might incite discussions of "fear politics," but people who bother themselves with that petty crap are as much of the problem anyway. Bush wasn't the most eloquent speaker, but at least he was honest about the state of things. This is all I ask for from this current administration for the time being.

Ah ok. Yea, they still teach bayonet as well (BLOOD MAKES THE GREEN GRASS GROW ) during BCT... still have my bayonet proficiency badge somewhere. But these days, everyone is issued at least one knife (if not going downrange with a couple), and taught pretty intensive combatives (they changed to Brazilian ground fighting recently)... and if anything, more emphasis is put on using the rifle system as a bludgeoning device then a piercing one if need be.

Ha, welcome.

Maybe, why? Haha, that's a curious thing to ask.

Arnie knows. (To be on the safe side, maybe not NSFW for language.)

I just called, and got the message. However, it proved to be quite useful as the message said that Friday hours would start "2 April 2010." I'm assuming that since it was definitively pointed out, the range should be open tomorrow. However, I'm going to give them another call tomorrow morning before I head down to be sure.

Ha, I direct link to the forums as well-- good to see someone get fooled :clap:

The ACR is officially on the market from my understanding. The price is still quite outrageous (2600/3000), but one of the big things that people were QQing about has been addressed. The ACR will now come in 1x9 and 1x7 twist: http://www.bushmaster.com/acr/#/intro If the price for the basic configuration can come down to around $2000, I might seriously consider getting one.

Heidi Montag's husband, who's always seemed pretty snobbish, Spencer Pratt (both were on The Hills for those who know what that is) apparently had a re-awakening. He's going to be putting his reality-career on hold/quit, and is investing his money and time into creating a cyber-security/anti-cyberterrorism firm with some other industry experts. He has also apparently finished his handgun instructor training for CA. So, I guess some of that money that would have been used for plastic surgery is indeed going to firearms and security-- ha!
