Yea, riding, I just got the gold medal in everything I keep telling everyone I could do better but they won't let me ride. My wife was a Lousiana state champion Hunter-Jumper as a teen and her mom did some breeding in Lexington later. Sister in law works at Keeneland, so I am never without someone telling me what I am seeing

Can't. I am in Kentucky for the World Equestrian Games.

+1 on that. YOu have to see the movie now Krd, just to see what he is talking about.

Did you cook it up? How was it if you did?

But none of that happened, or is going to happen. Which is the point.

Ah... two L's... Got ya!

I am lost... What was this in reply to?

I laugh every time I see that video.

I was going to laugh until I realized he was the "Hesco" in "HESCO barrier."

all I have to say is, people also said there would be death boards to decide if your grandmother should be killed. Just sayin'....

I read these forums at work. People look over my shoulder. THey ask me if I have "A gun." I tell them yes, I have three. When they ask why I need them I always tell them " I am a recreational shooter." It always seems to put people a little at ease. In fact I don't think the phrase really took hold for me until I kept reading it here. It is a good term. I find that talking about shooting skeet, target pistols, trying to become more accurate is a better why to stear the conversation The "protect-my-family" part is not mentioned until later on when I have been able to discuss the concept of shooting for recreation. In fact, once they grasp "recreational shooting" they are ready to listen when I say I have 1000 rounds of ammmo. "why do you have so much ammo?" "Recreational shooting and good bulk pricing." "Oh, I get it" Anyway, that said I will tell you all that my mother is a child psychologist at a state hospital (not saying what state). She has VERY real stories of what children can and will do. After nearly 50 years of doing it she has nothing but contempt for parents that are gun owners, mostly because of the stuff they tell her. I had this conversation with her last weekend - she will see parents and the child that she has in treatment. SHe said; "Every time I have a troubled kid come in I am required to ask if there are guns in the house. The parents will say "Oh yea but I hide them and they don't know where they are/don't know I have them. THen I will be talking to their child and the child will say, 'oh yea my parents have guns, they don't think I know but I have known for years. Then they tell me where they are. One kid even figured out how to pick the locks off a pistol and would put it next to him while he played video games then returned it before the parents got home." In fact there were more than a few cases she remembers where the kid picked the trigger lock off. Nothing came of it injury wise, but still well a troubled teen is picking the lock off a handgun and the parents have no idea that any of this happens, it makes a person form an opinion. So I know the craziness of the situation she describes would be preaching to the choir, but there are those that really do not get it within our own ranks. The end of the story is that I told her about the many many times that people on this forum admonish those for not putting their weapons in a safe and what not and she would add her full support for it. Because she knows, even more than the average parent, that kids are nuts.

I am so down. I will even get a blue glock of my model to mount my light to. One thing I have wondered, the flash from the Glock 19C at night. Ever here anything about it?

I might be interested if the timing is right, but that will be tricky during the week.

Thats a good contact to keep in the rolodex. I have nothing now but hope to soon.

man I would love to own my own SP howitzer!

+1 on that. Love the slide upgrades

Nice ,..

just to be sure, I am a definite. Wife considered coming to bust some clays but changed her mind. I am in and ready to sign in a visitor, plus I am buying a box o' clays and ready to smoke cigars. Sounds like a good Sunday.

My philosophy has always been, the weapon has to be equal to the proficiency of those that might be called upon to use it..... ALL of those that might be called upon to use it. I find this is an important distinction. Meaning that just because I have trained/exp with on weapons from .177 to 6 inch means nothing if my wife is the first one to get to it in the HD scenario. I bought the Glock because she and I both can bull with it and not think. (lord knows I wanted a 1911 )

what is your experience with neighborhood watch? My street needs one desperately.

The Glock

Awesome read. Great find. Depresing but informative.

Sounds good to me!
