Guns

Some people object to having a flashlight pointing in the same direction as the muzzle - breaking a fundamental rule of firearms, do not aim what you do not intend to shoot - but, it's a personal choice.

Exactly. If you see the light it's to late for you.

I use the laser before I use the light.

Quit arguing with each other post pics of guns and be happy.

Yep, I have the XD-9 variant. How much did you pay for the light/laser?

[firemachine69]

I apologize PK, I mistook you originally for a typical montrealer who's terrified of anything with a barrel - my apologies!


Anywho, to get this back on track, here's a pic of my Savage 93GL:

Nice XD! I have the same thing, but with the LaserMax (one of the first made for it, I pre-ordered and had to wait for months!)...


(Not my gun, just a pic from the LaserMax web site)

I have not had any problems with alignment, and it is my primary carry weapon. I also compete with it (IDPA) and the weapon has been flawless! I consider it to be the most reliable and capable handgun I have ever carried!

Cheers! M2

Not exactly something you want to say on the internet, or over the phone for that matter.

It isn't a big secret...

U.S. presidents always face an array of threats. Four U.S. presidents have been assassinated: Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley and John F. Kennedy. Assassination attempts have frequently occurred, with every president since Richard Nixon having been targeted for assassination, with some threats more credible than others.

The tremendous amount of power and symbolism of the office makes U.S. presidents prime targets for assassination. Obama will be no exception. But in addition to bearing the title of president, Obama also will be the first black president — something that introduces a whole new and more serious threat matrix.

Two plots to assassinate Obama were broken up during the campaign season, and several more remain under investigation. During his campaign, Obama was the target of a few threats that attracted considerable press coverage but in the end didn’t amount to much. Press portrayals aside, reviewing the facts establishes that these incidents were certainly not viable threats to Obama.

Presidential security is a serious national security matter. A successful (or even unsuccessful) attack on a president causes instability in the United States and in the wider world. And given the especially delicate balance that the United States, Russia and countries of the Middle East are striking right now, an attack on the president would destabilize U.S. foreign policy and have a heightened impact on national security.

PLus, I don't even know who "oabam" is!

I think the gun industry is playing this election up for profits as well. Today's news reports about UBL planning something "bigger than 9/11" is another play on America's fears. Hell, according to the apocalypse prophecy, we've only got four years left anyway!

Still, I am a strong believer in the Second Amendment...

I know its not a secret but its still something that really shouldn't be talked about. If he is killed and it's with a gun its just going to make Biden want to make gun laws even worse.


Now with that said, yeah I watched his speech to see if anything was going to happen or not.

Sorry but I do consider being able to be in charge of my own defense to be a freedom. Because this entails me being responsible for myself, whereas your freedom deals and depends on the behavior of others.

We are talking about the freedoms our founding fathers had the forethought to grant us, and ones many brave Americans have fought and died to preserve.

It is one of the things that makes this country truly free, and having spent 25 years of my life defending the Constitution and those freedoms, I take offense to the comment that exercising your Second Amendment right is not freedom!

Great post. Ya know if shit gets really bad I'm depending on the good folks of Texas to leave the Union first so I can come there to live free. Don't let me down!! LOL!

Oh, and here is my other carry weapon

S&W CS9

[PaidTimeOff]

Friend of mine used to live in Texas, where basically everyone carries a gun with them. He told me because of this, crime isn't as rampant as other areas of the country. Criminals will think twice about trying to mug someone with their gun when the person they're mugging probably has a gun of their own.

I don't own a gun myself, nor would I personally want to carry one, but real world experiences show that if everyone had a gun, crime would no doubt be lower.

If someone really wants a gun, they're going to get one either legally or illegally. If you don't let law-abiding citizens who will own guns responsibly get them, then the only people with guns will be the criminals.

I like the CS9 since it has a single column mag. Easier to carry.
