OP - 1) Love to hear your reply to trevor a few posts above. 2) Seriously, is your thesis in the original post "words hurt"? 3) Are you comfortable with the ways LE has changed since, say, the mid-80s? 4) Assuming we can all agree it is changing, when / where do you anticipate...

As long as there is at least some love remaining, it is hard to walk away...

2 moa in wind? Is that normal down there?

OP - Has it ever occurred to you that their business model works because the world includes many, many people who "bank" differently than you do? Why are you angry with them? Close the account and get on with your life.

Make the people in HR watch the film Rubberneck... No, seriously, until he violates some policy, you ain't got a move to make. He has a right to not play frizbee, and I know I'm making light of what could be a dangerous situation, but until it is, then it ain't.

Maggot - Yes, though certainly not 100% of his motivation. But yes, Russian obsession with warm water ports is centuries-old. Though we shouldn't complain, we got a darn nice poem out of the deal (Light Brigade)! What is funny is that, in climate-modified 21st century, northern ice is less...

Yup, very easy to make argument he is single most important man in western civ...

Themistocles, triremes, armored prows... about damn time!

OP - If we are going to train for CCW/CQC/CQW circumstances, ought we not have practice reps with living non-targets downrange, even, eventually, adjacent to our targets? Once we are ready, of course? My concern is that NEVER practicing draw and aimed fire with people down range would mean...

Thank you very much for those photos - extremely cool. Bill

1) The longer-term prospect of every old / out of service gun having access to brand new spare parts is really interesting. 2) As is the potential diffusion of manufacturing of "force". Fascinating.

Morning gents - OK, controlled by idiot 12 year old at theater makes more sense. I think had it been set at 75% of where it was I would have heard individual sounds and effects much more clearly - something I can do at home when the discs come out. Was thinking this morning of how that...
