I used old t-shirts at first, then i just bought some precut patches. You'll probably save a little money cutting your own, or you can just buy a large bag and be done with it. I only had a pair of scissors to cut the shirts with, and it took quite a while to cut any decent amount, which is why...

Last I heard, this situation sounds like embezzlement. If these employees are cooking the books and pocketing the difference, they are DEFINITELY stealing from the company. Now, if it was a one or two time thing, that for some reason the customers were 'tipping' the sales person for excellent...

I had the misfortune of being in Chicago for a period of time. There was a 'taste of Chicago' even there. If the Dallas event is anything like the one in Chicago, you're not missing anything. There didn't seem to be any unique food, just the normal street-vendor type food: hot dogs...

In the States, our rights come from God, not the Constitution. The Constitution is only supposed to protect our rights. I don't know much about Canada, but I imagine our views of rights and where they come from are probably radically different.

Hey guys, just wanted to give you an update on my order. Ordered on Saturday, arrived yesterday afternoon. This was with their standard shipping quoted on each page. 1 Ordered a 420 can of LC M855 on strippers. Everything looks to be in order, but the brass is kind of tarnished a bit. Not...

That's a pretty neat idea. Or maybe try to get them into some local press, via local gun-rights organizations. Have some old school boycotts or something. The "Say no to BWW and Support Gun-Rights BBQ" ;-)

I am utterly and totally against PC responses for the sake of not offending the modern person's own private lubby-dubby view of the world. As I said in my most recent post prior to this one, most people only say these things because they fear disapproval by others. @ Babie Louie, I think...

I didn't say they set the price, I said price point. When I said 'what's fair' between manufacturers and retailers, I was not talking about setting the specific price, merely the contract between them that dictates what each party will agree to as terms for doing business.

@Geckgo You mentioned that showing the gun may diffuse the situation, and the caliber does not matter so much. This can sometimes be true, but you need to keep something in mind. If you pull a gun on someone, who is similarly armed, things might escalate very quickly. You need to be able to...

I think the simplest solution is not to live in Philly. Of course, this isn't an option for most people, because they are locked into an underwater mortgage for a house they couldn't give away. Might as well be chained to the damned thing.

While this may be some kind of victory for gun-rights, it's a loss for property rights. If you had a right to control your property (including guns) as you deemed fit, gun-rights would just be like any other kind of right. Your property, your business, simple as that. So, in a small way...

It's probably corporate policy that the guy can do nothing about. Aside from it not being 'illegal' in your state to not have a gun on someone else property despite their sign to the opposite effect, you could be asked to leave for such a reason (or any reason, really), and your failure to do so...

Well, I think it's up to the manufacturer and the retailers to decide what's fair. Manufacturers have to keep up a brand image, and part of that image is usually price-point. But if you think that it's bad you can't see the 'lowest price' for the unit up front, it's worse in some industries...

The point of news stories like this is to fool the people that really have no clue about the subject. Once the story is presented on the news, and people hear about it, it has become fact, plain and simple. The news never comes on and says "Hey, you know that story we told you about how easy it...

I think buying a used gun is a lot like buying a used car... Best to avoid dealers if you aren't 100% certain of their reputation. I think a gun show is a bad place to buy newer style guns, or used guns from dealers. They are fine for buying surplus and ammo, and possibly selling a weapon...
