I've considered it as I am lefty, but I'm holding off for now. I don't see much practical use for it.

Don't they make rail-mounted front sight posts?

EMBRACE YOUR KEYMOD OVERLORD.

Check out this link. Really comprehensive look. http://vuurwapenblog.com/2013/10/05/ar15-muzzle-brakeflash-hidercompensator-comparison-part-2/

I chuckled just thinking about it.

Depends on your score, the state of the economy, your skin color, and whether or not you have veteran status.

Thanks for all the input thus far. Of the sample questions I've seen, a lot seem to be common sense. I just picked up a book with some previous tests and suggestions. Should be interesting to go over. A lot of the prep courses carry a steep price, but it's all an investment anyway.

Anybody here take the Civil Service test recently? I'm scheduled to take it in about a week and was looking for some tips. From what I understand, the test is largely critical reading, logic, and basic intelligence questions. I'll be heading to my local library to try and find some study materials. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

I do want one, but it's not a priority for me right now. Putting funds towards an Aimpoint T1, irons, and other rifle stuff. Thanks, though.

Glock 21...anybody?

It really is a shame that's there's no quality gun mags out there. What we have now is basically Playboy for guns, and it's not even worth reading the articles. It seems the best publications are online blogs like TFB, Vuurwapen, and the recent Bang Switch. It's definitely a sad state of affairs for the paper media industry.

So for gasoline fueled vehicles, what's the deal with storing extra gas in a gas can? Is there a "shelf life"? Or can I store it until I need it? Any specialized containers or are the home depot variety perfectly fine?

I believe there are charges that can be tacked on if you commit violent crime while wearing body armor, but it is otherwise kosher.

That armor looks to only be rated for up to .44 Magnum, and won't stop a high velocity rifle round. It depends on what you use it for really. For most of us, we'll die from heart complications or other biological reasons. The concern of being shot is really low. That said, I'd buy some for the cool factor and for the sake of building a loadout for the sake of doing it.

I've always contemplated purchasing some armor plates just for the hell of it, and I'm seeing an increase in non-ceramic plates, usually made of some sort of polyethylene. They're marketed as being significantly lighter than traditional ceramic plates, but appear to be thicker. Supposedly, they are able to take more repeated hits because the material doesn't crack upon impact and maintain integrity longer. I'm going to admit I'm skeptical, but they seem to be pretty legitimate from some of the informal testing I've seen on YouTube and elsewhere.

I have specific tastes in things, and most of the door-buster stuff is shitty generic stuff that I have no interest in. I wait for Cyber Monday for any big purchases, but I may still go out to Macy's and feed my tie addiction or see if I can get some work apparel for cheap.

You can try applying it at the checkout. I'm not sure. I'll experiment and get back to you. EDIT: That Aimpoint PRO promotion is using this code, so this post is technically a repost.

Use code 11YAYBD. Expires 11/8/13. If you've been looking for a optic, you can get some pretty good prices on some higher end stuff. Doing the math, a T1 is running at $571.38. They also have a host of clothing and other shooting related products.

Just saw it. Pretty good. I like the approach and it didn't come off a looney like I was afraid it would.

The traffic laws are laid out in Title 39. If you break a law in the presence of a LEO you should expect to face the consequences of your infraction. Don't like it? Don't break the law.

Thanks for the info. It would seem that with the explosion of the "black rifle" market over the last 8 or so years, it's only to be expected that we're going to see more counterfeit products.

I came across this story through one of the pages I follow on Facebook (Mayflower Research & Consulting LLC.) about a trio of people who were selling counterfeit body armor at gun shows in Florida. They apparently also had other body armor labeled "Full Dragon" which was a bogus company. Here's a link to the story: http://www.clickorlando.com/news/trio-sold-fake-body-armor-at-florida-gun-shows-fdle-says/-/1637132/22544608/-/qad7lg/-/index.html After reading a post here about counterfeit Ranier Arms charging handles, I think it's worth mentioning to make sure you're getting your stuff from certified dealers. Look through websites, send emails, or make phone calls. Saving a buck buying from somewhere shady is always risky business. Also, the only reason these guys in Florida were caught was because a consumer reported the product to the actual company. Make sure you're looking over your product and making sure you're getting what you payed for. Stay sharp!
