“If there’s no real intent, there’s no real threat, no real weapon, no real harm is occurring or going to occur, why in the world are we in a sense abusing our children like this?” – Oklahoma Rep. Sally Kern, Oklahoma bill would ease school policies on imaginary, toy guns [at foxnews.com]
This from elsewhere in the article:
“The proposed legislation removes local control from teachers, counselors, administrators and local school boards”
That’s the real problem. I’ll be the first to admit that I have, on occasion, struggled with reading comprehension but I am fairly certain that “education” is not an enumerated power.
There was a time when a town had a school because a teacher moved in and wanted to teach. They had a church because a preacher moved in and wanted to preach. They had healthcare because a doctor moved in and hung up a shingle.
I’m okay with it, if the girls are okay with it.
All I take away from this is that the Glock 42 frame is 100% capable of supporting 9mm, yet for some unknown reason, Glock decided against it.
Why could they not have done both?
Because Glock marketing is hoping that a bunch of impatient Glock fanboys will buy the 380 first and a 9mm later (but wouldn’t buy both if a 9mm came first so therefore the 380 comes first).
The only problem with that marketing plan is that they didn’t count on the R51 showing up and they may lose much bigger bunch of people buying that instead of a Glock and thus they lost all those potential 9mm sales.
Arrogance and complacency.
Complaining about the caliber? Get a Glock 36.
I still don’t know who the hell “the rabbi” is, and this is like the third or fourth article he’s been mentioned in.
I was confused, too, when I first started reading TTAG. For quite a while, I thought “the Rabbi” was just Robert’s alter ego, a fictional character like his mental muse or something. The Rabbi may play such a role, but he is an actual person; David Kenik. Here’s a link to his business website for a little background on him and his experience: http://www.armedresponsetraining.com/Articles.asp?ID=254
Please, sir, may I have another?

Yes, the PM9 is narrower and shorter…and 9mm!!!
And even the PM9 isn’t exactly a pocket gun. My Kahr P380, now THAT is a pocket gun. The G42 being a .380 that is larger than the PM9 and more expensive than a CM9 makes it a no-go for me.
Wrong. The term “gun nut” is not remotely close to being the equivalent of “fag,” “kike,” or “nigger”. Being gay, Jewish, or black isn’t a choice, it’s a condition of birth. Owning a gun is a choice, like owning a car. As a gun owner, and hispanic, the idea that equate the two as the same is pretty goddamn ignorant.
I’ve been called a gun nut. I respond to the same way I respond to being called a dork, a jerkoff, or a prick: I laugh it off, and flip them the bird. I’ve also been called a spic, a wetback, and beaner, and my reaction is a bit different: I’m enraged, hurt, and come close to punching them in the twat.
The author obviously has no experiences facing bigotry, by attempting to equate “gun nut” with a bigoted epithet.
If it’s below $1400 they have a winner.
If not, it’s going to fail.
A sense of reality has entered the fray! Sound the alarm!!!
Nothing sells guns like a hot chick. {rolls eyes}
I will stay with my p220. Did me right as a primary duty weapon. No longer on the force,I’m still comfortable with it in my Galco shoulder rig.
Joe, great review. Thanks.
I’ll be needing a good holster soon.

I’ve hunted and fished the Owyhee many times. I love that country.

“Why do these people [sic] hate us?”
Farago, I find this completely reprehensible. You’re complaining about a lack of civility and respectful discourse, and yet you close your post with an implication that our political opponents are less than people. They may be ignorant or misguided, but that does not call into question their humanity.
For those that don’t know what I’m talking about, “[sic]” is used to acknowledge a known error. In the context of this sentence, it means that the use of the word “people” is erroneous. Frankly, I like Farago less having read this vitriol. It’s just as hateful and accusatory as the writing he’s attacking.
Hell yeah!
All hail the King!
I have been missing both the videos and the fake accent.
