Personally I don’t give a hoot about what someone does in their bedroom. Thats their business. I also don’t mind if someone disagrees with me, or speaks up about their beliefs- thats their freedom of speech and thought.
I have a problem with the mindset that labels me as a bad person, or suggests I should be “hated” for something I prefer, think, or say. And from AGCR:
“Do you like guns but hate ‘gun people’? Are you uncomfortable when political ‘progressives’ support every Amendment from the Bill of Rights but [not] the 2nd? Does it make you crazy when ‘conservatives’ swear to uphold the 2nd Amendment but look the opposite way when other rights are trampled on?” If so, it says, then AGCR is for you.
Thats reminds me of the quote, sort of hackneyed, but revealing-
“Conservatives think liberals have bad ideas, Liberals think Conservatives are bad people.”
Ms Hoebner seems like an interesting person- I’d like to shoot with her some day, and just talk guns and gun culture. I’m sure I’d learn something new from her. And my guess is she is not the type of person who appreciates anyone, or any group, claiming her as part of their “slave plantation”.
Thats the problem with ABC and much of the StateRunMedia- as the propaganda arm of Progressive wing of the once proudly independent Democratic Party, they claim allegiance from many who simply don’t agree with their goals, objectives, and tactics, and enforce it like Fascists everywhere if you dare to disagree. Just read Dan Baum’s book “Gun Guy” for his own admission of that group think among his own liberal circle- and he seems like a pretty moderate and independent thinker.
Doubt me? I could be wrong, so if someone would tell me what the biggest LGBT national org is, lets go see what their stated opinion is on 2A rights.
Congrats!!
Is this a paid advertisement from uncle mikes?
The one uncle mike’s holster I played with for my XDm was a pile of shit. The thumbbreak was too flexible and would bend without unsnapping as often as it would work properly. The holster was bulky, adjustments annoying to do, and the grip it kept on the belt was uninspiring.
Passing on them from now on. Much happier with my Crossbreed, SHTF Gear, and IMI Defense options that I use now.
I’m not sure if my entry even registered. Had a hard time navigating Kygunco(?) site.
Any gun store outside of California. It’s like they hate me for living here. No matter how much I promise I won’t tell anyone if they sell to me anyway…
Better you than m- oh, wait a minute. Congrats.
Good for you! Congrats!
Oliver WHO?
“When Oliver Willis talks, the blogosphere cares.” Well, at least his mother cares. Maybe. THIS corner of the blogosphere doesn’t.
I think he may have a revelatory moment if he ever rides public transportation in the wee small hours.
“And why even mention machine guns? How many people are killed by a machine gun every year? ”
Well, if you take Hollywood movies into the count who knows. Thousands a year? That’s what these people base their fears on – Hollywood. They DO NOT know firearms, stats, etc.
I’ve been shooting since I was six. In 54 years I haven’t shot anyone. I’m sure most all of the people of the gun who have not been in the military can make the same claim.
In short, lawful people of the gun are probably the safest people WITH A GUN statistically.
The Marksman in Puyallup, WA.
If you call about a gun, you’ll be on hold for a while, then they’ll check their stock, and then refuse to give you a price because of “competitors wasting their time’. Y’know, like they expect customers to waste time on the phone, or driving any distance to visit them and find out they’re not cheap.
If you go and ask to handle a gun, the muzzle has to stay pointed at the floor. I grok safety, sure, but how do you shoulder a rifle pointed straight down? Also – maybe this depends who you get – no dryfiring allowed either.
If you take a gun to their gunsmith… well.. don’t. Not only did he severely mangle the finish on my AR, he also doesn’t (“can’t”) test for things like, y’know, alignment of the gas port. Minor things like that. Even getting handgun sights swapped isn’t a safe bet.
The range is also kind of crappy. The safety brief is a joke. It’s dark, and they swear that there’s no way to heat an indoor range, obviously, DUH. Unilke EVERY other range in the area, including Bullseye, and that’s saying something.
All of which is a shame, because they have a FANTASTIC selection of Springfield everything, and some super nice specialty 1911s. I guess the stock is good because people can’t actually buy things there, because….:
If you bring a gun in for trade, and another, unrelated customer who is a complete stranger to you offers to buy it from you, they’ll throw YOU out of the store, even though you clearly stated your intent to trade that gun TO THEM for a brand new XDS two-tone.
Not that I’m bitter or anything.
Dang- thought I posted once but its not popping up—
trying some new stuff on the ol’ puter-
apologies if it dupes- CONGRATS RAY!
” According to Mark, that’s about four forms per minute when they get rolling.”
And this brings the system to a crawl? Good Lord… Sounds like the system was written by someone that just picked up html programming in 21 days and took a transcender cert course.
The first Tank prototype, EVER!
Bass Pro Shop in Memphis, TN. You couldn’t get service unless you were a camo clad Fudd.
Worst by a mile: The Gun Shop in Norcross, Ga. (used to be in Buford, Ga)
The owners barely literate asian girlfriend made me pet her box turtle (seriously) while the owner explained that he preferred to sell to gangbangers because they paid cash, didn’t shop around and bought whatever he showed them. Liked the new location because it offered more of the above clientele. Lousy selection and price to boot. Classy joint I tells ya. Needless to say, I bought my shotgun elsewhere.
Let’s see, the press is reporting 10 justifiable homicides in what is basically the first quarter of 2014. That means the greater Detroit metro area is on pace to tally 40 justifiable homicides for the year.
But wait, those 10 justifiable homicides in the first quarter happened during the coldest, most brutal winter in something like 50 to 100 years. Given that criminal activity and defensive gun uses decline considerably in extremely cold weather, that strongly suggests the rate of attacks and defensive gun uses is going to increase considerably as the weather warms. Yikes!
Fortunately, both the police departments and prosecutors are very pro-self defense.
The eyebrows cost extra!
RPS v0.1. Rape Prevention System.
If irony could kill a person then I would explode. Except instead of guts, smiley faces and AR-10s and sunshine would come out.
The amount of joy this situation gives me cannot be measured in words…
