Well, I only have 3 pistols, all are different calibers. The only 2 firearms I have of the same caliber, are a .22lr rifle and pistol. Unless revolvers become part of my future, I don't see myself getting any other pistol NOT in one of the 3 calibers of pistols I already own. And guys, this is the handguns section, I think so of you missed that!

Now this is a tough thing to say, and on the surface I think it is a pretty terrible thought, but I almost feel like it would have been better if one of the dirtbag teens beating on the cops was shot and killed. Maybe then it would make them think about doing this type of stuff again (gang mob with the sole purpose of bullying/hurting somebody). Is that wrong of me to think that? Whatever the case, damn, that is a tough spot to be put in if you are a police officer (or even an armed civilian). I wouldn't wish that situation on anybody.

Damn you all and your sexy guns!

What are you talking about?

I need to go to your school of reasoning. I never knew that I could just manifest things in my mind and whoolah, they are now facts. Learn something new everyday. Yep, he is. You got it. I certainly didn't say anything like "I'm not a big fan of him" before. Oh wait, I did. But then again, if you think it meant something else, then as a matter of fact (not a figure of speech), then it does. Phew.

True that. The main issue is that they are given more authority then most deserve, and it gets abused. No need to get all defensive man.

I'm sure that was apparent on the screener right? And something that is listed as banned should just be okay because? There was no issue here. They found a banned item, which happened to be grenades, removed it, and let the passenger go on her way. Simple as that. They did their job. So let me ask you this. You pack a pistol in your luggage. It is unloaded, and broken. It cannot fire, (ie. is inert). You don't claim it. Is that okay? Is that any different from this? You can fly with nail clippers. The whole liquid thing, yes that is dumb. The purse with fake gun thing, also ridiculous. But that is a separate incident, and not a TSA policy... There are douche bags in every job. Maybe you have bad luck. Maybe because of your hatred for TSA, your attitude is what got you selected. I don't know.

Some advice, It is going to suck. Now I don't mean it is going to be a terrible experience. It is going to be one of those things you wish to never do again, but are glad you did it. Stay positive, know that nothing is personal, and embrace it. You will probably see people who have a difficult time grasping this, and they will struggle. However, if you have a positive attitude, it can actually be a fun experience (relatively speaking). Also, don't be that guy. You will know who that guy is pretty early on. Good luck everyone joining! I have no regrets so far.

So mentioning an issue he had with something twice is obsessing, and being a douche is a fact, and these aren't ignorant comments? Okay then chief. If I were to call you a douche and say it is just a fact, that wouldn't be ignorant either then?

I bet you are right! The thing you are forgetting, is that one of the antis main arguments is that guns are simply bad, in any capacity, and should be banned outright. If there is an outright ban, people wouldn't be able to get them, either legally or illegally, so this would never have happened. Of course that is ridiculous and I don't blame anybody for not thinking about that. But that is something they try. Terrible tragedy btw.

Another what? TSA was doing exactly what they were suppose to do there...

I'm not a big fan of him either, but did you even watch the clip in reference? He actually was raving about the gun and its reliability. He was only mentioning an issue with a magazine he was actually having, and you can see happening. And even then he wasn't saying it was garbage. Sometimes it behooves to watch what is being talked about rather then make some ignorant comment.

After reading through the documents, let me know if I got something wrong. 1. You filed for access to "The Guide" under OPRA.. 2. The NJSP denied you access. 3. You took them to court for the above. 4. The NJSP has to give a response detailing why they cannot release the guide under the grounds it could cause harm. 5. They delay and request extensions multiple times. 6. Finally they give a 10 page document in which they ramble on about things without actually complying, and on the last page throw in that if released, it 'might' show how people could 'skirt' the system and allow ineligible people to obtain permits, or some BS like that. Clever really. 7. The judge either buys their BS, or has an agenda, and rules in direct contradiction to previous court rulings, because he can. Did I get that pretty much right?

Well good luck to you all! Too bad it seems like most of you joined/are joining the wrong branch. Yes of course I am just kidding. There is no 'right' branch.

I own 2 snuggies, 1 forever lazy, and 1 set of feety pajamas. I also own a blanket with a foot pouch, which is amazing. Anyone who has not used these is insane. They are amazing. I just wish my fleece footies weren't pink. Those are the bomb.

I rent. I'll be damned if I ever own my own property in this terrible state. I'm trying to get out of here as it is...but it isn't looking promising.

We have regulations that prohibit drinking withing 12 hours of flying. Are you talking about flying privately? Irrelevant I know, I'm just curious. But yes, you are correct. Anything that happens whether firearm related or not, is going to be under additional scrutiny if there is alcohol involved.

No, I meant drinking as drinking. The extent of such is up to you. This is also why there are 3 choices in the poll, meant more as an attempt to distinguish such. If I am going out to get drunk, then I do not carry. If I am just having a couple drinks at dinner or with friends, then I have no problem carrying. If I am carrying, and do drink, the fact that I am carrying actually helps to keep me out of trouble, and I am less likely to end up drinking too much to drive for example. If I knew I wouldn't do something stupid when drunk, then I'd probably carry then to. I don't though. So that is when I leave my pistol at home/in the car.

And that is why the question was asked.

For those of you that carry when in America, do you still carry even if you are drinking? I know there are many states that have restrictions or prohibitions on this, but the only two states I carry in, have no restrictions on this. Also, usually if I am in one of these states, I am often drinking. What are your thoughts?

Somebody should sue them. Yeah, that would work! Oh wait...

So I'm quoting my own post from earlier, since I can now answer my own questions. 1. Yes. In fact, they weren't even passive. 2. Yep, sure did. Had they been out of the way not moving, whatever. But intentionally blocking the police and yelling "&*# the police", I'm glad they got a load of mace to the face.

I said one... Just a bit of sarcasm... Thank you! I have a few good songs on the list!

Yes. Name ONE song on that list that isn't amazing.

Nothing more frustrating then playing against bad players who constantly make the wrong calls only to draw out on you. I like to call them River critters.
