I don't think I could have been more shocked than to hear this news. He was a good friend and a good soldier. I will miss him.

Facebook might hate freedom, but it's still going strong here.

I would have to say that I don't see an intimidation factor of some guy who sits still waiting for me to shoot him during an airsoft game. "snipers" in airsoft have the same problem as snipers in the real world, their focus narrows to that little crosshair, and they get shot by the guy standing 20 ft to the left.
Not saying you shouldn't buy it if you want one, just saying I don't think it would actual intimidate anybody.

who needs eye protection when you can cut bullets out of the air like some anime movie. Joking aside, that was absolutely awesome. =D>

All I know is I got 10 percent on 2 guns I bought there, and then it was 5 percent the last time. Not complaining though, still a smoking deal. At least locally, it's the cheapest you can get pistols outside of private sales.

General Off-Topic Discussion / Re: Even more reason to not get on an airplane...
« on: September 18, 2008, 02:10:08 PM »
I never said I considered it a hassle or anything, i said I expected a little extra because I was checking a weapon. My story was about the damn machine going off for the computer but not the gun, saying that was ridiculous. But hey, since we can't tell stories on this forum, i guess the General Off-Topic Discussion section is just going to have to go away. Can't talk about event, or things we've seen, or anything like that, then oh well.
Oh, my bad, it's actually just the majority of us that can't relate stories unless a select few personally like them or approve of them. Doc, you're cool, I like what you post. Vince, you're usually very funny, and I also usually agree with what you say, but you're hassling me for relating a story about a peice of machinery.
I'll settle this by not posting into this thread again, therefore you won't have any reason to be Vince.

And the one time it detects a bomb; your bitch about being hassled for awhile goes from barely relevant to non-existent.
Private security at the airports seemed much more effective, courteous and intelligent because they did very little.
I don't think this RFID thing is good, but, I think most of the security things in place at airports now are generally a good idea; 9/11 just highlighted the vulnerability of the air travel system.
That being said, I fly a lot and it doesn't really bother me. I adapt, and I get to my destination.
Nope, but thanks for playing. This was a machine set aside specifically for special cases like me. People who have special items to declare. It was not the same thing that standard passengers went through.
I didn't bitch about being hasseled for awhile, when I travel with a gun, I expect to go through a few hoops.
And your comment about the private security doing very little? What do you base this on? Granted, my only real dealings with private security was at DFW airport in 2000, but they where the most professional, dedicated and aware private security people I've ever dealt with. TSA on the other hand, have never impressed me. The men pull aside and hassle the cute girls, they sit there and are very unprofessional while working. "Damn girl, you look so fine, you sure you want to get on this flight, you should come to my place and we could make things happen!" I actually heard this form a TSA thug to a young girl, maybe 18, going through security, and he was even grabbing his crotch while he said it. But if I confronted him about it, I knew I would never get on my plane.
I know what I have to do to get through security and get to my plane, and I understand the need for security. I, too, "adapt, and I get to my destination" I am just not impressed by TSA and the idea that throwing money at a problem solves it.
EDIT: Oh, and what security measures are in place now that weren't in place before 9/11?

I don't even have the words to comment on this, so I'm gonna tell a story instead! 
I was traveling from phoenix to dallas. In one of my bags is a gun. In another bag is my laptop. Because I'm checking a gun, I get special scrutiny, as if by virtue of being a gun owner (and letting them know I have it) then I must be a dangerous person. They run my bags through a giant scanner set aside from everything else. I didn't know exactly what it was scanning for, but they ran my stuff through three times. They told me that one of my bags kept reading positive for explosives. Now, I assumed that it might have been the 500 rounds i put through my gun the day before since I didn't clean it very well. Nope, it's not that bag, it's the laptop in the other bag.
Wonder how many millions of dollars that hunk of crap cost us?
I miss the days of private security at the airports. It seemed much more effective, curteous and intelligent.

less tampons and more porn, lol
We appreciate your thanks, it's a far cry from what service members used to get. And the care packages are nice too. But the point is, you DON'T understand. Not your fault, it's just a matter of experience.

something like this was done in a book i read. It was pretty good, and the analogy they used was some scientist standing over a button shrugging and saying "let's see what happens"
