It is def an image issue. You'd be suprised how many people are shocked to learn that handguns aren't just for rednecks, hunters, or gangbangers. Not that i have anything against southern folk or hunters, but people who can't stomach hunting obviously associate that with guns, and give both a negative context. The camo, confederate flag, tacti-nerds give a bad image to the whole group. Obviously , to each his own but we are fighting a PR battle. I have already inspired at least 12 people into handgun ownership.

its cool but i'd check the CCW factor calculation... there is no way you can give a desert eagle and a compact gun similar factors...

I'd make a flier, with some of the information included, don't know how you want to incorporate it but: - that you are doing this in the wake of the shooting/ murder in the community - protect your family with responsible gun ownership - average police response time in an emergency - Having a gun and never needing it > needing it and not having it I would make it two sided with the "arguement" and graphics on the front, and informational material on the backside: how to apply, where to get training, how to store/secure a weapon just some food for thought

i just got an M9.. looks and feels great. plus its a nice piece to have along with my 1911.. keeping with the US military tradition.

My interview is may 9..hopefully it goes well. It would have been nice to drop a few names on an the application but out of all the forums i'm on, nobody seems to work for them.

haha thanks..

I've got interviews out west with BP and i wanted to see if anybody on here is an employee.

welcome, another EB member sweet. As for Eb permit process i've never had to wait longer than 3 weeks for anything...and i mean my initial FPID, and i've gotten 6 permits since then all have been fast.

again..why are harping on global warming and CO2 the mainpoint here is the production of oil. You wont need alternative energy if we can make oil.

We all def. love your product and most importantly your service (IMHO). Couldnt be happier with the my experience and I will be purchasing more toys from you as soon as I get my balls back after the wedding. As for the video.. Yikes, not exactly a captivating speaker, can't load for ****, and didn't know which way the mag goes into the gun. If i had to listen to him speak any longer i'd consider jamming #2 pencils in my ears to make it stop. LOL

why are we even talking about this instead of focusing on the fact that they are making OIL. Lol thats the real important part.

I disagree with you, Industry is the main source of polution, imagine oil power plants using this but now routing their exhaust into making more oil? Eliminating all that CO2 is massive. And if you could do this with other factories that genereate massive amounts of CO2 the environment would be better off. At the same time You could still use hybrid technology to limit emisions. Clean energy is a nice idea but at the moment i dont think we can generate enough energy by those means...not to mention it does absolutely nothing in terms of transportation. Electric cars just dont have the range to be practical, and if you've heard of whats going on with the nissan leaf you'd know what i mean. Also, i think i'd rather deal with emmisions and planting more trees than building all these battery packs which are much worse of for the environment.

Is this the future?Blue Oil???

is this a conversation that you are allowed to videotape? I'd be curious to see what would happen if you walked into this meeting with a hidden camera.

Yep, i hear you man. But this is great press for the pro gun movement. Its easy to point out and make it seem that gun owners are lunatics and dangerous, but now you are seeing that the left has had things their way too much. This type of exposure will push things back to the center where they belong hopefully. Stories like this show that the laws are now out of control and unchecked.

A few years ago a guy opened up his safe to show me his new revolver, he opens up the baby and start talking about how nice the trigger is and he dry fires it once. I immediately yell at him to make sure the friggen thing is empty, and before he can finish saying that he never leaves a loaded gun in his safe...BANG Ricochet hits him in the leg, my ears are still ringing to this day. i'm just happy to be alive.

damn it i hate when these rutgers kids make me look bad.

Unfortunately the few spoil things for the many..thats just the way it is. Traffic laws, workplace safety are just a few of the examples. The reason is these are "high risk" with high visability and nobody wants to get burned by supporting it. Just like the one dumbazz who shot the senator caused severe backlash against guns. We have to keep fighting and both sides need to be reasonable.

sorry last time i did a shipping calc on that site it said it was going to cost me 40 bucks..now its showing 20

be careful its all about the shipping costs. check out aimsurplus 73 each if you buy two but they're shipping is cheap to NJ http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=A76254R&name=Russian+7.62x54R+147grn+FMJ+440rd+Can&groupid=186

im good with the foil, i'm stocking up on duct tape now. That stuff will be the gold standard of the post apolocalyptic world.

Theres a first time for everything.. I have been called a liberal LOL Oh boy. everything is locked up because Dicks company policy says so. You do realize dicks is a store open to everyone correct? Much different from a gun shop where you have to be a certain age to enter. Mind you that most dick's stores are near or within a mall, a mall who has tons of those dickweed kids running around looking to screw **** up any chance they get. maybe now you get the picture as to why a store is covering they're a**. At least try and understand why they have those policies in place before you go off the deep end. anyway i hear sams club has cheap bulk rolls of aluminum foil. Good luck
