I cringe every time I hear the word indoctrination in the context of public schooling. As a recent graduate of said public schooling, it couldn't be any further from the truth. Parents are far more often the medium of indoctrination than educational facilities.

[DOUBLE POST]

A lot of our nation's textbooks are sourced from Texas. I'd be curious to see the actual details of the textbook like title, edition, publisher, etc.

I like the 17 for the size, but I never considered it because of the mags. Most people tend to go with the G19 because the stock mags are 15 rounders. I'm sure someone sells blocked at round mags, but they'll be a PITA to get. Most places block them to 10 since there's only 2 states with a 15 round limit.

I love my PPQ. I've been thinking about grabbing a G21SF sometime soon, so I could see going either way. Mags will be easier to find for the Glock, though. My vote still goes for PPQ. The trigger is good and the reset is a game changer for me.

I was considering ordering some FastMags just to play with them. I'd consider throwing them on a belt system mostly, but might throw them on a rig for funsies.

Blade-Tech makes several of their holsters for the PPQ. A bit pricey and you may need to wait a few weeks, but they're some of the best holsters out there.

Why? What point are you proving exactly? It seems to me that the only reason Starbucks changed anything was because pro-gun people were being dicks about their neutrality. Starbucks still isn't anti-gun, they're now simply anti-dickheads. The only point you'd be proving by doing exactly what they don't want you to be doing is that pro-gun people are generally dickheads. You've contributed a hell of a lot to this board and I know you to be an otherwise sane and reasonable person. This just has me completely baffled. EDIT1: I'm not calling you a dickhead.

I found this comment on a discussion elsewhere, and I find it apt enough to deserve repeating (bold and italic text by me): "Starbucks sells coffee. We can discuss the quality and value of the coffee, but that's what they do. When they started to get drawn into the gun frenzy a year or so ago, they tried to stay out of it, they just shrugged and said, 'whatever, just follow the local laws and leave us out of it'. That turned into OMG STARBUCKS LETS US BRING GUNS LET'S ALL BRING GUNS TO SHOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE STARBUCKS NEXT THURSDAY IS BRING YOUR GUN TO STARBUCKS DAY, OPEN CARRY YOUR GUN TO STARBUCKS NEXT THURSDAY! Now, a year later, with gun advocates staging open-carry demonstrations there regularly, they've finally had enough, and I can't blame them. I can't help but think of the nice girl who treats the nerd with a modicum of respect, and then a few months later has to tell him that she doesn't want to marry him." TL;DR: This is why we can't have nice things. Did we deserve this?

Honestly, how many people shoot enough to be able to discern a tangible/empirical difference between lubricants? It seems like there's a new lubricant coming out every week and each time they claim to be the end-all of lubricants. It all seems very gimmicky to me. Granted, I'm a piston guy, so lubricant isn't as important to me as it would be to you DI guys.

Most classes that teach more dynamic techniques than simply bench shooting require some type of magazine holder. While a chest rig may not be explicitly necessary and you could just use cargo pockets, it can be incredibly helpful. Gun For Hire, for example, has 3 levels of what they call "Urban Carbine" courses that a chest rig would be appropriate for.

That .pdf was a really good read. I'm going to post a picture of proper placement from the .pdf for the lazy, but it was definitely worth the read.

I've never owned a Taurus and never plan to. Heard too many horror stories.

I'd be interested in compiling a list of places that ask for FIDs and P2Ps to examine merchandise.

All indications would seem to suggest nothing is going to change. Hopewell is very professional. Never had a bad thing to say about them.

I always carry it. It's laminated and sitting in my wallet. I don't really have any reservations because in the event I lose it, my PD would be pretty good about getting me a new one. Would only take a couple weeks at most to replace. Considering all the legal confusion about whether you do or don't need your FPID in this or that situation, I think it's better to just have it on me. Could save me a headache in the future. Plus, as others mentioned, if I should happen to come across something that catches my eye I have the ability to grab it if I want.

I don't agree with Ron Paul on everything, but he nailed this one.

Which one are you looking for? The classic, finely crafted, paddle equipped PPQM1? Or the PPQM2 with the abortion button tumor release? Regardless, try using the price request feature here. A good price for a PPQ is going to be between 570-600 OTD.

I think we, as American citizens, are better off knowing what he revealed than having it remain secret.

Looks really good. A bunch of the pouches I've ordered are on backorder so I haven't posted any pics as of yet, sorry.

No. It's an self-proclaimed conservative club used for building students legal writing skills. It's child science. The story was shared by the admittedly biased Breitbart (the right-wing equivalent of Huffington Post). Simply because it has Harvard letterhead doesn't mean it's anything more than a biased, student based, practice piece. As much as I want to believe the premise of the "study", I just can't.The errors are simply too blatant and too numerous for it to be taken seriously and citing it as if it has any serious credibility makes it look like us pro-gunners are grasping at straws.

I've always been a fan of NJ: Home of the Fun Police.

I wish there were more stated weight figures on gear so I could do the math. Not that I'm a weight Nazi, but it'd be nice to weigh my options (no pun intended) with more information.

Makes sense. Thank you!
