No more arcade?

So obviously there are different schools of thought and opinions regarding the need for a firearm. As one should, I thought long and hard about my purpose for concealed carry. I've never really had an occasion or instance where I've felt threatened in public to the point where I'd feel the...

My father also got his permit to carry when I did, and didn't want to spend a bunch of money on his 1st handgun. I'd been reading up on Hi-Points and they just so happened to have a 9mm compact at one of our local stores. It was the last one they had. I figured this would be the perfect way...

Wow, so it's cool to make jokes comparing minorities to dogs on this forum? Totally not what I was expecting when I clicked on the title. It used to be that I enjoyed having a place like this with such a wide variety of people to discuss these types of topics with respect and insight. Does...

That's exactly how that situation would end up for me 99.8% of the time, which is why I mind my business and keep on rollin. I try to pick and choose my battles wisely and trying to exercise my rights against a hot-headed cop (regardless of being right or wrong) just because vs. all the costs...

Believe or not, there was (and still is depending upon how reluctant you are believing that discrimination does still exist) a purpose for the existence of the NAACP. As is the case with many things in our society, a few bad apples have spoiled the bunch, thus allowing those who've never had...

Very uncool and unfortunate you had to deal with that situation. It just goes to show that anyone can be a jack@$$ and ignorance has no limits or boundaries. A true example of how a biased person having power or authority (regardless of implied importance) in a situation can negatively affect...

While I do agree that the younger generation is being overly doted on, I really hope that you don't think size is the only thing that matters on a football field...especially when age and maturity play a factor. I don't quite know what the exact verbiage is for it, but I do believe there's...

Very poor choice of instruction by the coach IMO. I've coached a couple youth football teams myself and injecting yourself as a grown man into a live demonstration or drill does little or nothing besides stroke the adult's ego. There's usually a more talented or experienced kid on the team...

I was just going to say he needs to thank the previous and CURRENT (yeah I said both) administrations for their forays into nation building and strategic global positioning of our military resources. Most people I know that join the military is because they had no other alternatives after high...

I know if I lost my entire or a significant portion of my 401k like father and many others his age did a few years back, which I believe is a significantly overlooked point in this whole matter, I'd be out occupyin' the hell outta Wall Street. In that same breath, believing that Wall Street is...

Congrats Bots! I decided to get my CCW here in Iowa about a month ago when the opportunity was presented to me. I now carry a Springfield XD 40 subcompact myself (excellent taste Mr. Felt). They're like mods on bikes. Once you start, it's hard to stop. Also have a Stoeger 8000 40 S&W and...

Ummm...FORGE is a word. :rofl: And it seems pretty appropriate in this case.

Thanks! If my mood changes, I just may hobble down in the cage...but I'm pretty down about not being able to ride my baby for what may be the rest of the season. Seeing all those pretty bikes, none of which would be mine, may do more damage to my psyche than help. :tantrum:

Well....I had planned on riding down myself, but blew out my knee in an alumni football game on Saturday. Had surgery yesterday, so I'm OUT! :banghead::banghead::banghead: Safe travels.
