Also... the cause for crime is quite clear: turf wars in the drug trade. That's it. It's not the friggin guns that make them do it, it's a primal urge to take a territory, hold it, and exploit it's resources. Guns aren't the problem, the government banning drugs is.

I think more cops need to go... especially from the State Police. I hate having to keep an eye on speed traps these days...

Vest are great when defending a fixed target, or deploying out of a vehicle (typically the scenarios where soldier like to use vests). When on the offensive out in terrain, they're just too heavy to wear. If you're a homeowner awaiting the apocalypse, and defending against UN CommieNaziZombies, then a vest could be a very useful part of your defense. Helmet, maybe too... but they're pricey.

Pistol caliber carbine?

Understandable. I've heard it said that if you're gun can shoot a thousand rounds without a hiccup (that is not magazine related), then it's typically considered to be dependable. But then again, I'm no expert on guns and stuff.

Taurus sucks. My brother owns 2 of them, and they haven't impressed me in terms of fit and finish. Frank, you're a Glock armorer, you know why they're great firearms and what makes them awesome, why stray now? Especially to Taurus of all companies?

Would NICS even be open in an SoE?

Nice.

Yepp, forgot about IDPA...

It sucks simunitions are expensive to utilize. They'll teach you the most about gunfighting, especially in terms of being hit. Paintball is a good poor-mans substitute, as is airsoft. IDPA is the closest you might get to using your real guns in a real fight seeing as it allows you to run, gun, reload, run, gun, cover, etc. I'd like to try it. From the videos, it seems fun.

This is true. I forgot about IDPA matches. However, aren't the targets still stationary?

True. But it takes practice that's not easy to do with a gun in this state.

The first shot will take care of the excess stuff. Just make sure everyone is wearing a raincoat...

This. From playing lots of paintball, dynamic targets are hard to hit. Most people don't know how to lead worth a damn when firing a gun. Move laterally while facing the target. If they're stationary and you're mobile, you can hit them easier than they can hit you.

From my Modern Warfare 2 training, I would typically shoot at the closest enemies until dry, then switch to a pistol, and proceed to use my Commando perk to stab the last guy. Then find cover and reload.

If it's under warranty, send it back. Don't deal with local gunsmiths when you can get OEM parts and a free repair.

If you haven't joined the SAF yet, I suggest you do soon. These guys have done more in 5 years than the NRA has done in 20. When they're done, things like Assault Weapons Bans and No-Issue CCW will be unconsitutional.

I got it figured out. I turned a bigger box into a smaller box... Now to schedule a pickup... Do I need to goto a FEDEX to ship it if it came with a prepaid label?

Glock 19 in a Crossbreed Supertuck...

Hey, just sayin'... don't leave your car running unattended.

Tried to build one, but faiiilllled. Sigh. Problem is I only have chipboard on hand... tough stuff to cut or fold.

Even if he had a CCW, he was screwed. He had 0 situational awareness about where his car was parked, or the threat environment. The other thing is he LEFT THE CAR RUNNING! I hate when people do that... especially when they run into a gas station for some smokes. I mean seriously, take the keys and lock the car. Modern cars don't need to warm up. They won't die if you start and stop them.

Easier said than done. Most people can barely hit a target standing in a climate controlled shooting range that doesn't shoot back. More ammo = better.

I also have a shipping related question (for my mossberg going back to getting serviced)... Traditionally, I ship (and I think the rule is) with the firearm in the case. But what if I don't have a box sized for the case? Is there a place I can find all sorts of boxes? I have it packed in a huge one now... but I kinda want something more snug and doesn't require a ton of dunnage. Thoughts?
