Welcome to the fam damily.....

What the hell was I thinking in High School when I played Rugby???? Now that I'm older I look back and think that was not the best idea in my life.

It's about time Topcop. Get them tags and have fun.

My Grandfather is going to be 93 next month. He was in Africa during WWII. He is just now starting to speak about what he did fighting Romel. My Dad hasn't even hears some of the things his Dad is telling me. It is important to listen and take note of where we came from. We are bound to repeat history, there is nothing anyone can do about it but appreciate what out parents and their parents did.

It is a tragedy that a majority of today's youth don't know the sacrifice and horrors that those went through to protect us. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41210188/ns/us_news-life/?GT1=43001

My first girl...I mean car was a 1979 Honda Civic hatch back. Same color and all. It was missing the "N" in Honda on the back so all my friends called it the "Hoda" or the "Blue Bomber". Damn I remeber paying $.89 cents per gallon then and going for 4 weeks on a tank.

Bunch of fudge Packers. GO BEARS!!!!!

Count me in.....

Nice new girl you got there Killroy. I hope Mal will share you with her.

You said it Bud. And people ask why do you have so many guns? The better to protect me and my community with. If local and government law enforcement agencies won't or can't do it , then I'll have to protect myself.

Welcome to the forums.

Hey Paper and Ronnie, have a great Birthday.

For Johnny Dos and Olive. 11 reasons to have a CCW permit and allow people to have them. Criminals are less likely to attack someone that they believe might be armed. The deterrent effect of concealed carry benefits the individual carrying a handgun as well as the general public because criminals never know who is armed. According to a 2000 study by John Lott, PhD, "shall-issue" laws have reduced homicides by 8.5%, aggravated assaults by 7%, rapes by 5%, and robberies by 3%. Lott argued that if states that did not permit concealed handguns in 1992 had permitted them in 1977, 1,570 murders, 4,177 rapes, 60,000 aggravated assaults, and 12,000 robberies would have been prevented between 1977 and 1992. [8] The right to carry concealed handguns is guaranteed by the Second Amendment in the US Constitution. The Second Amendment states, "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." According to a 1997 study of National Crime Victimization Survey data, "robbery and assault victims who used a gun to resist were less likely to be attacked or to suffer an injury than those who used any other methods of self-protection or those who did not resist at all.” [9] Even if an adult never needs to draw a concealed handgun for self-defense, a person may feel safer being armed and feel freer to go outside at night or in dangerous areas. A majority of adults who legally carry concealed handguns are law-abiding citizens who do not misuse their firearms. According to a 2000 report by engineering statistician William Sturdevant published on the Texas Concealed Handgun Association website, the general public is 5.7 times more likely to be arrested for violent offenses (299 KB) , and 13.5 times more likely to be arrested for non-violent offenses, than concealed carry weapon permit holders. [30] Carrying a concealed handgun could aid in ending public shooting sprees. The Apr. 20, 1999 Columbine High School massacre and Apr. 17, 2007 Virginia Tech shooting could have been ended and lives saved by an armed citizen shooting the assailants. [10] The government cannot guarantee the safety of its citizens. Protecting oneself and family is a personal duty and the government should not impede the ability of responsible adults to defend themselves. Criminals carry concealed weapons regardless of their legality. Responsible citizens should have the same advantages when it comes to protecting themselves from armed attackers. In District of Columbia v. Heller (267 KB) , the US Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 on June 26, 2008 that although most 19th-century courts found that prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons were lawful under the Second Amendment, the Second Amendment guarantees "the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation. This meaning is strongly confirmed by the historical background of the Second Amendment.” [31] Concealed handguns are an effective non-lethal form of self-defense a majority of the time. An Autumn 1995 peer-reviewed study by Gary Kleck, PhD, published in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, found that when someone draws a concealed gun in self-defense, the criminal simply retreats 55.5% of the time (903 KB) . [32] "Only an armed people can be truly free. Only an unarmed people can ever be enslaved." - Aristotle And here it is summed up by Admiral Yamamoto during WWII..... "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." - Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto (Japanese Navy)

COD2???? Haven't seen you there before?

Thanks Killroy. Pig, thought my Springfield XD .45 was to big. So I needed a smaller weapon to have for a CCW. BTW, I like the Bodyguard with the built in laser sight.

So my Dad and I went out to look at guns today. Damnit....I had to get something... Here is my new toy. A Taurus PT709 Slim 9mm. Nice gun to have for when I get my concealed to carry permit. Of course my Dad had to out do me and get a loaded AR15. Here are the specs: Model: 709 Finish: Blue Caliber: 9 mm Grips: Checkered Polymer Capacity: 7 +1 Weight: 19 oz Barrel Length: 3" Construction: Steel Frame: Compact Action: SA/DA Front Sight: Fixed Length: 6"
