It would be nice to meet a bunch of forum members in person there as well. You've all given me great advice in my time here and I'd like to extend a personal thank you.

Turns out I can't make it on the 3rd. Trying to pull strings at work so I can be there the 4th.

Agreed. Whenever a decision's made I'm sure we'll hear about it quickly.

Al Jazeera America is pretty good. Much better than most of the other big networks.

True. But after watching him in interviews with him, he seems to flounder when challenged and has a hard time responding to questions.

LaPierre needs to go. I don't disagree with his positions, but we needs someone more articulate and palatable.

I think we agree much more than you lead on. Perhaps it was the style with which I wrote my comment, but your commentary seemed to largely build upon what I was saying rather than rebut it.

The 30 round mag profile is much better suited for interfacing with pouches than a 10, 15, or 20 round profile. The distance between the bottom of the magwell and the bottom of an inserted mag is also just the right size for the human hand, presumably not by mistake. I use 10 rounders for the range, but keep 15/30s by my bedside and on my WIP chest rig. It makes more sense for me, and it also means I won't have to change anything training wise in the event in move to a free state.

Almost all the shooters I encounter at EFGA are from Jersey.

I got your back! http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/43322-njgf-online-resource-compendium/ EDIT: Not to be that guy, but the purpose of doing a research paper is to do research on a particular issue and come to a conclusion based on that research. Going into it with a predetermined conclusion is somewhat self-defeating if you're following the spirit of the assignment.

I take the hour or so drive to EFGA to avoid Jersey altogether. Granted I shoot with 10 rounders anyway since they work better from a seated position, plus the math is easier.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't know if I'd like to shoot someplace where I'd have my equipment arbitrarily inspected.

I know that this thread was more about sharing the video than actually asking the question in the title, but for the sake of conversation I'll actually try and answer the question the best I can. I'm a young dude and I am friends with other young dudes. Young people tend to lean more liberally and "older" people tend to lean more conservatively. That's a pretty static trend. As a result, I'm friends with plenty of liberal people. We don't usually agree on guns, though some points we share similar opinions on. Given past conversations about the issue, I don't think the hate on the NRA is of a specific nature, but rather because the NRA represents something bigger. Liberal people tend to consider themselves especially rational and fair-minded. They consequently get upset when something doesn't go their way, especially when they don't see a rational reason for it. The vague concept of background checks, as an example, seems superficially to be common sense and simple. When people argue against it, they must be daft. So they get stereotyped as being redneck gun owners clinging to their guns and bibles. The NRA as a lobby represents these people. After all, they get NRA hats, jackets, and bumber-stickers to show how proud they are to be members. The NRA represents the opposition to the gun control agenda and when it fails, the NRA becomes the idol of that failure. "If only the NRA wasn't there, we could solve the gun issue." "If only the NRA wasn't there, we could have common sense gun laws." "If only nobody opposed us, we could do what we want." I'm not saying that I agree with this. I certainly don't. But it's what we're dealing with. The NRA, at the end of the day, is really little different than other popular lobbying organizations like the ACLU, NAACP, PETA, etc. The only difference is the demographic of the supporters and the specific issue of the organization. We need to remember that people who oppose the NRA aren't typically gun people. They lose nothing by implementing gun control measures and they gain peace of mind and political satisfaction. They are effectively fair-weather supporters of an issue they otherwise don't think twice about. I'll ask people if they feel in fear for their lives by merely crossing the Delaware River into PA. Nobody has ever answered yes, yet residents of PA are able to own dreaded assault weapons, carry firearms on their person, and own NFA items. Cognitive dissonance at its finest.

Suffice it to say, a 500 lumen WML makes me uncomfortably giddy. I want one, like really badly, but the interwebs seems to be skimpy on the deets. There's been some pictures floating around and mentions here or there, but nothing really substantive. I've seen it get a passing mention in several threads here, so I figured I'd make a dedicated topic. If you know anything about this light, please...

TIL: A lot of you aren't personable.

Wow that was a good read. Thanks! Link: http://reason.com/archives/2014/04/18/is-this-the-supreme-courts-next-big-gun

Kimbers are the Beats headphones of the gun world.

What should attendees bring? Ear pro, eye pro, etc.?

Here's the source video if you were curious:

Except if the two liberal circuits wanted to shut it down, rather than going through the whole debacle with the Supreme Court, they could have just said no all the way.

So if they don't hear the case does that mean the most recent ruling stands and Cali gets CC?

Someone's a fan of the Trijicon SRS...
