i guess you are referring to his smile before taking the mic. I say he is 110 percent genuine. He has been thru an emotional roller coaster. It was a nervous reaction perhaps. If there is a way to delete a post I encourage you to do so. This guy deserves a pass even if hes told a knock knock joke.

My oldest daughter gave me a $50 gift certificate to RTSP. My youngest gave me the Grip Force adapter and the Glock breakdown tool (punch). The rest were not firearm related.

I am for choice. If you don't like the topic then don't read it.

I will get 5 people to write a similar letter tomorrow and ask them to each get 5 more. I then must follow up to make sure they did it. It is only worth it if I get results....asking others and hoping they do it is not good enough. Feel free to cut / paste and edit, but get a letter out and encourage others to do the same. THEN, BOYCOTT THE CHANNEL. We can do this, it won't be easy but it can be done. Prepare for a long war and stay the course. December 18, 2012 Public Relations DCI World Headquarters One Discovery Place Silver Spring, MD 20910 Dear Sir or Madam: Other than football, Discovery Channel is pretty much the only channel I watch. I love Myth Busters, Dirty Jobs, Deadliest Catch, Gold Rush, Jungle Gold, American Choppers and others. But I will no longer watch any programs on your channel due to your decision to cancel American Guns. I feel sick about the tragedy in Newtown, CT. But the problem is the perpetrator, not the tool. As you probably heard, on the very same day of the shooting a man in China stabbed 22 children with a knife, not a firearm. Timothy McVeigh murdered 168 in Oklahoma, but not with a firearm. And as strange as this may seem, we are lucky the joker in Aurora, CO did not use a bomb in the theatre because he certainly had the ability and resources to use a bomb. Drunk drivers kill innocent people, including children, all the time. Nobody is suggesting we ban alcohol. I will be encouraging others to boycott your channel. We need to make the Discovery Channel feel it where it counts…the ratings. Joe

Other than Football, which I have boycotted NFL on NBC, I pretty ,uch only watch Discovery. Sending them a letter no longer watchng shows like American Chopper, myth busters, Gold Rush, Jungle Gold etc... Love those showsbutnow I need to back it up with action. The Constitution is too important. Will share letter after treadmill. Write the letter and actually boycott the station. Your Founding Fathers would be proud :-)

This topic is on GlockTalk too. I posted my letter and encouraged others to do the same. I have been posting on Facebook only as replies to anti-gun rants. Be cool headed, reply with facts and rational thought...you would be amazed how many thumbs up you get.

It's not perfect, but it is something. I hope everyone takes 10 minutes and encourages others to do the same. I am determined to get 5 others (not on this forum) to do the same. We all know neighbors, family, co-workers. Feel free to cut and paste if you want. My last name will be on the signed version. And you can use it for other stores too... Make the effort and don't stop there. Get others to do the same. You can't think "they will blow it off". Make the five you get to do the same also commit to getting five more each. December 18, 2012 Public Relations Dick’s Sporting Goods 345 Court Street Coraopolis, PA 15108 Dear Sir or Madam: My family and I have shopped at Dick’s quite a bit over the years (Rockaway, NJ). That will change effective today. We will no longer buy my hunting needs (ammo, clothes, etc…) or sporting goods clothing/equipment for my kids. The reason: Your decision to remove certain semi-auto rifles from your inventory due to the tragedy in Connecticut. I actually was glad to hear that Dick’s prevented Adam Lanza from getting a firearm. That is how the system should work. But I am offended that you have caved in to pressure and removed certain firearms. It is the perpetrator, not the tool. Disappointed former customer, Joe

I believe this is their address. I will put to the attention: Public Relations Dicks Sporting Goods Corporate Office & Headquarters 345 Court St. Coraopolis PA 15108 Let's start doing this stuff along with letters to politicians, showing up to Starbucks on that one date, etc... If we do nothing then we can't complain.

We should all send letters to their corporate office to the effect: Eefective today I am no longer buying my hunting needs (rifles, ammo, clothing) from your store along with miscellaneous sporting goods for the kids. This is based solely on your recent decision to remove some semi-auto rifles from your inventory. Your store in CT did a great job by refusing Adam Lxxxx a firearm. That is how the system should work, but then you blow it. We who appreciate the 2nd Amendment are upset with your decision and are mobilizing to boycott your store for all items. See ya! And I don't have little kids or hunt, but let them think they are missing out on clotes and spoerting goods too. I promise to type this letter tonight and mail it. I hope others do too.

I think I read or once heard that in the US the FBI counts crimes involving kids in the U.S. figure whereas the UK figure excludes it. If this is true (and I am not positive it is), then the numbers would be even more staggering that the UK has a more violent crime rate.

I use a safe and I am the only one with the combo. No little kids. I think we need to be careful and we should not assume she did not have the guns in a safe. He may have beat her to get the combo or held a knife to her. My point is that we need to know the facts before we judge her. But having a safe is a good start. As of now, I have not read anything that says she did not have a guns in a safe. I may have missed it...things are flying fast.

score one for the good guys. glad he did not take the shot...it helps prove we are not trigger happy. Responsible gun ownership is the key and this young man exercised very good judgement. i look forward to sharing this with the non-believers.

Here is a video by Hickok45 comparing the KSG and UTS15 side by side. He also has recent individual videos on each shotgun. At least from his perspective it appears the KSG is the winner.

i went on their website. they appear to be located in stanhope as ruger9 indicated.

I love football. It is the only sport I enjoy and my wife, daughters and their boyfriends love it too...but I am boycotting it on NBC. We all should. I agree...F him and them.

Why don't you suggest we ban alcohol, let's see how that goes over with some of NBC's commercial customers. Go ahead, show us you have a pair and put your job on the line. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/cowboys-nose-tackle-josh-price-brent-charged-vehicular-201129974--nfl.html

Victoria Secrets Fashion Show...Merry Christmas.

I have never been bit by slide bite either and frankly thought it was impossible given how I hold it, but when two RO's tell me that I keep it in the back of my mind. I fired 1300 rounds in the last 6 weeks and had no problem. I was mostly pointing the GFA out since other Glock owners were mentioning they did not like the forward angle on the grip...doesn't bother me. So the possibility of reducing slide bite and getting a good purchase on it from the holster interest me. This is my only firearm...4 years now and my old accesory are XS big dots. I need to buy something...I get jealous reading all the posts on this forum. Seiously, its only 26 bucks so i will probably give it a try.

I just read another post in this forum about Glocks and quite a few ergo complaints. I saw the Grip Force Adapter on Youtube (several video reviews) and seems to be helpful with the inherent forward angle of the Glock. For $25 it might be worth it for some of you. I am thinking of buying one only because I had two RO's tell me to be careful of slide bite. The GFA not only changes the grip angle but gives you a small beaver tail (bigger than the almost non-existent one with Glocks, but nowhere the size of other handguns. Anybody have one?

I went to Luciano's for the first time during lunch on Wednesday and held the Mossberg 590 with light built into the forend. I was impressed. It seemed very solid and the ergonomics were good...the feel and the on/off panels. The price was $599...bead sight, heat shield, and Insight light in forend. But then a poster on this forum turned me on to BeamLokr today and I have been reading and watching reviews. If I was in war, I would pass on BeamLokr but I feel it serves a role for home defense. I still have no money and probably need to wait until tax refund so the research continues. Luciano's was nice...look forward to going back.

Wow. Just completed this 2 day Def Handung I and II course and it was unbelievable. This is not a high five...pat on the back course, more like a kick in the ass (sometimes literally) if you get it wrong. You are expected to get it right everytime. Very impressed with the number of instructors watching and correcting. Day 1 was 3 seminar hours and 5 1/2 on the various ranges. Shot about 350 rounds. Day II was 610 rounds. Paper, steel, escaping from vehicle (SUV or regular car depending what you drive) and engage multiple targets...shooting through window, front of car, moving to back of car, shooting under car...wild. Two hits required in all training. Good movement while shooting drills and then moving targets too. Barricade / cover shooting. Shooting prone at 100 yds...need 6 six hits. Too much other stuff....better update when I get home tomorrow. Surpassed my expectations. You are expected to carry all around the range loaded.

Does anyone here grow it? Just trying to figure how much time it takes each day from start to finish...planting through to juicing and cleaning. also, are you able to avoid mold from growing? thx

By the way, I have never fired a shotgun and only go to the handgun range about six times a year so short shucking a pump in a dangerous situation is a concern...I don't envsion shooting the shotgun more tha six times a year...so trying to see if a semi is good enough. thx

Ray, Is that an endorsement to have the 930 as ones primary home defense weapon (assume homeowner wants 12 guage, understands layout of house/walls, neighbors, etc...)? Even with birdshot as a HD load? Just trying to get a sense of whether it is a "happy choice" firearm or a HD worthy firearm. Thanks, Joe
