    My new Sig P229 Elite (Photos Included)

    You definitely made the right choice. I was looking at a 226 Elite yesterday and desparately wanted to take it home with me. Unfortunately, I live in NJ and I don't have a written permission slip.

    Fed Ex cancelled my shipment. Dont know why yet.

    Actually, what you are paying for is the guaranteed delivery by 1030 the next morning. Most UPS Next Day Air packages never see an airplane. Now, if it doesn't make that 1030 delivery time, you are entitled to a refund. As for the other topic of insurance and declaring firearms, Father...

    Sig Sauer P228 or HK USP Compact?

    What Firearms Do the Feds Use

    When I took the Phase I test in October, I asked the same question. I didn't get a very good response. Only that the list is rather short. He did mention that it was short because FBI armorers would have to fix whatever it was and they didn't want to have to find parts for everything under...

    According to this link: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/cib.htm it's the same rifle as those on the Infantry branch insignia, a 1795 Springfield Arsenal musket.

    A voice of reason from the left of center

    Look up the definition of socialism. Government employment is not socialism and to imply such a thing is laughable.

    Border patrol agents face 20 years in prison

    Granting immunity to a drug smuggling illegal alien that had beaten a Border Patrol agent. 3 guesses which way that prosecutor votes. Talk about a miscarriage of justice.
