High Exposure

Old School, what ARs does your shop carry? What are you all charging per unit? In your effort to see an AR in every home are they priced as to be afforded by every family? First, I am not fighting with anyone. Second, You are right, I don't know everyone's life responsibilities or priorities. If you paid the rent instead of buying an AR, good. That's what you are supposed to do. If you couldn't buy ammo because you were out of work, or your kid needed new hockey pads or you had to pay for braces I understand. The question, to be blunt, is so what? I had to pay my mortgage and insurance. I have a kid and all the bills that accumulates. The price of gas went up for me too and my house is now worth less than I paid for it. I have had family issues, car trouble, and the typical curve balls life threw at me. So what? I budgeted, took my time and built/bought my rifles. We are all responsible grown up adult human beings. We are all responsible for our actions and decisions in life. If I have 3 ARs and I want another, and am willing to pay, why shouldn't I be able to buy a fourth rifle? I should be told "No sir, you have enough. We need to spread the ARs around so everyone gets one." I think that's wrong. I also didnt need my crystal ball to see this coming and you shouldn't have either. I am merely pointing out that this fight has been going on since before December 14, 2012.

This whole mess started gaining momentum in the 1990's right before the first AWB. If you didn't see this coming prior to 2008 you had your head in the sand, Stevie Wonder, and Ray Charles could have seen this coming. If I was paying attention, made the right decisions, bought early (at a decent price) and now have multiple ARs, parts, and ammo to hold me over for quite some time, why do you feel I should "spread the wealth"? Reeks of socialism. Remember that story about the ant and the grasshopper? These are concepts we learned as children. The rules still apply.

So she wants to ban short sleeve shirts?

That floor plate means nothing. That's like saying your dentist manufacturers that pen in your junk drawer becauase his name is on it. Colt contracts other companies to manufacture their magazines.

Hallelujah! Finally

I figured that what it meant. Apparently he means me too then BLF... I love the cute names. Like he just can't come out and say Cops. ETA: Now comes the "I never said ALL Cops just the ones that are too chicken to stand up for their beliefs an the Constitution" along with "BLF and HE just stated that they will blindly follow orders and TAKE OUR GUNS!!!' Laughable...

I have both of those VC mods. The big dome safety I highly recommend, it works great. The stainless follower I bought just because I wanted it. It has worked flawlessly, I just don't know if it is needed as I never had a problem with he plastic OEM follower my 870 came with.

Amsdork gets paid every time someone clicks his retarded videos. He is spamming all the gun boards with them and has been kicked off a few for it (including Get off the X, Yeager's forum)

I agree, someones personality or method of delivery should have no impact on the "merit" of their position. However, if you want people to listen to your message, regardless of its merit, you can't be a bombastic ass about it. This is stuff we all learned in Kindergarten and got better at it as we became adults. I could agree 110% with someones belief, but if they come across as a douchetastic blowhard as they rant and rave their message I will tune them right out and search out others that share my belief and are able to articulate it appropriately. If they have a history of running their mouth, posturing, bullying or outright lying, not only will I not listen to their message, but I will openly dissuade others from listening to their message as well. I will make every effort for it to be known that while I may be on their "side" of the argument, that that particular person does not represent me, my position, or how I think view the current situation. Face it, we all do this with one caveat - what we each find to be an acceptable method of communication is different for everyone based on their experiences.

Actually, it should be "a lot". Now pay attention, what follows is mentoring not criticism. CA, There is good advice right here in this thread, if you have thick enough skin to find it. No one holds all the keys to the kingdom, and good advice for one person may be poor advice to another. Only you can determine how the answers you receive will fit into your world. As far as the "Classes" of response - Dude, this is the internet. You have to vet your sources, know whom you are speaking with and what their experience is. What qualifies them to answer your questions? How relevant is their information and experience? Just because the guys on the other forum are nice and say things you agree with doesn't make them the correct answers to your questions. You may be taking advice from some kid in his mom's basement wearing underoos for all you know. If you would settle down, listen, and use that empty space between your ears, you may learn something in spite of yourself. Just sayin'

Tosser, I have taken multiple courses with EAG, Trident, VTAC, Spartan Group, Blackwater, Blackrock and NJDCJ over the last 6 years. I attend at least 2 formal classes a year and have a nice training budget for ammo and range time. I practice a lot. I am the lead firearms and tactics trainer for my SWAT team, and rangemaster for my agency. Each trainer taught me something different, even if it was how not to do something. Each trainer made me a better shooter today than I was yesterday and taught me TTPs that I could bring back to my people. They taught me in a manner that was enjoyable, but hard, with winners and losers in each class. Researching Yeager's past, his alumni, and his style in addition to the "word on the street" given to me by some pretty hardcore guys that have BTDT and I consider friends, I would not give him a dime of my money. I am me and you are you. We are each a victim of our own frame of reference. If you like Yeager, good on ya. I do not. I will also continue to advise those that will listen that there are far better instructors out there to spend your money with. Instructors whose doctrine is based on years of experience at the tip of the spear with proven fundamentals, who know how to teach, and are what they appear to be, instead of one with a failed LEO career, a short stint in Iraq as a PMC, and a single firefight that has gone down in history as one of the biggest failures in the PMC world as an example of what not to do. If I ever want to learn the wrong way to react to an ambush, I will look him up for training.

Explain this please? This is patently false and is just as bad as what some are accusing the OP of doing. Deadly force is deadly force and if it is justified, it is justified. Period. End of story. You shoot the meat the bad guys gives you after you confirm it is the bad guy you are aiming at - foot, arm, legs, head - stop the threat. Maybe Combat Auto is a Drug dealer in Baltimore and he is worried about protecting the stash house from Omar! The Original Post does come across as a little Mall Ninjaish but, in all seriousness, I have taken more than one bullet resistant vest from a shittum. Body Armor is out there and bad guys have it. However, in talking with them after the fact, they state that used more often in defense against the other armed shittums that are out there whom they deal with on a regular basis. They are rarely used in a home invasion or burglary against "citizens". They are more afraid of the other drug dealers and gang memebers that they associate with then the people they victimize. Finally, Combat Auto, get some thicker skin. You posted a fairly silly question on the internet and when you got called out on it you got all butt hurt. Not everyone will agree with you. If you like what the guys on the M1 forum said, stay there. My HD weapon is an AR with 62gr Federal TRU GDSP, and for casue.

Tosser, I have no problem with you, he'll, I don't even know you. I think the fact that you sought out training is excellent and I wish more responsible gun owners did the same. I do have a few questions though. How many firearms courses have you taken from real deal, professional, BTDT trainers? What's your frame of reference for "hell of a class"? What was your previous experience training with firearms under the tutelage of a professional instructor, and by association your definition of "learned a lot"? Was it merely a fun class (which is an important factor in choosing instructors) or did you actually learn something relevant to your goals? What did you expect to get out of the TR class you took and did it meet your expectations? I know dozens of real deal guys that carry a gun for a living that think he and his classes are a joke. It is deltaninjasealranger camp combined with ballistic masturbation. There are many credible real deal instructors out there in easy driving range to attend class with. Don't waste your $$ on this shyster.

Ray, What you quoted was meant for Woodentoe's comment (I edited my post I reflect that) You and I were posting simultaneously. That being said, I am not an enigma. And please, don't tell me what I am supposed to do. I know my job and I remember my oath. I have not forgotten the face of my father. I also know that that Jackwagon Yeager is not helping us one little bit.

Ray, we expect the left to scream "The Sky is Falling". We don't need one of our own throwing the Acorns.

@ Woodentoe LOL. That's actually pretty good

I despise Yeager with the fire of a million burning suns. I won't get into his cowardly past, his calling people out for "Duels" and "mutual combat" when they disagree with him, or his many other instances of shameless douchbaggery. He made an ass of himself. He ran his suck, making a fool of himself and drawing unwanted negative attention to himself and all gun owners and 2A supporters. He damaged our cause by becoming what the sheep are afraid of and putting it out there for all to see for eternity. He became the boogeyman hiding under every gun grabbers bed. An Ex cop that became a private military contractor threatening to kill people. Tell me how any of the blustering drivel he spewed in his first video, or even his second, helped those that support the 2A in any meaningful way? Why couldn't he have done his most recent video, posted above at #65, and showed some maturity and impulse control instead of "Throw some food in a backpack, load your mags and clean your guns", "I will fire the first shot", "Start killing people" WTF was that? He drew his line in the sand alright, then retreated behind it and lost it to the surf. If he would have been smarter, he could have drawn his line and defended it with the help of half of America. Now he comes off as not only unstable and dangerous but toxic and weak as well. I award him no points and may God have mercy on his soul.

I have said it before and I will say it again. Yeager is the definition of http://mobile.newschannel5.com/wap/news/text.jsp?targetUrl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.newschannel5.com%2fstory%2f20566009%2fdept-of-safety-suspends-handgun-permit-of-local-man-after-gun-control-rage-video

If only Yeager would have been this willing to fight on Route Irish in April of 2005. Maybe he can challenge members of the legislature to a duel... He is the definition of

Federal does make a #1B with a Flite Control Wad. http://le.atk.com/ammunition/federal/buckshot/details.aspx?id=998 From Doc. G. K. Roberts I currently keep Hornady TAP 00B in my 870 with Vang Comp barrel and have patterned it out to 30yards. I know I can take a high percentage shot at 10 yards and in with 100% confidence. The shot stays so close together it almost looks like it was a slug. At 20 yards I still have a group under 12". I have also determined that the new TAP and Flite Control loads have made the expense of the Vang Comp barrels nearly obsolete. It is important to personally pattern any shotgun you plan to use for Home Defense/ Self Defense with the loads you plan to use. You need a complete and comprehensive understanding of what your chosen load will do in the weapon you have designated to the task of HD/SD.

Those animals are a bunch of cowards. They would wet their pants the moment they were facing those that have the ability, the permission, the will, and the means to fight back.
