    How often do you train/how do you train?

    This is a really good discussion. Hopefully it will stay on point. I think the thing that will throw this thread off point will be separating "training" and just going to the range or the back yard and shooting, aka plinking. Yes there is a difference. Gosh I hope I didn't just create the...

    The Roast Tonight

    That's is Maria Bartiromo from Fox News and yeah it's VERY distracting. In a good way.

    To Laser or not to laser

    There are NUMEROUS studies that suggest the laser actually SLOWS target engagement because the shooter is spending time looking for/ at or aligning the laser rather than the threat. the laser becomes the focus of the shooters eye vs being on the threat. You don't have to take my word for it...

    Combat League

    I'm not familiar with this. Details. Sounds fun although a bit far for me to drive. But I'm curious nonetheless.

    Medical Training Day, 10/30, lower Hudson valley area

    JUNK and NOT preferred by SF. I would refer you to the article Dov8404 suggests. I recommend SOF-T Wide OR a NATO tourniquet and lastly a CAT. Yes I have experience and first hand knowledge in the discussion within this thread.

    Paint time

    Degrease it. When I have done mine I just used Gun Scrubber. It strips the oils right down. Some people have said use break cleaner. That kinda weirds me out cuz that stuff is a bit harsh. Others have used nail polish remover etc. Basically get the oil off the metal as gently as...

    How often do you clean your firearms?

    I'm retired Army. You can probably guess which answer I chose. Besides its a follow through Zen thing. My world isn't right until it's done.

    Flying with Guns

    The bag she is using weighs 28lbs EMPTY. It is NOT an option unless it's also your luggage which also seems inappropriate since 28lbs is more than half your weight allowance and you haven't even put anything in it.

    Flying with Guns

    I saw this video the other day and agree with you. It's WAY not needed. I left commentary there and the internet super heroes who have hardons for her were not happy.

    Flying with Guns

    I fly A LOT with firearms in and out of NY because of my business (and for personal reasons as well)..... NOT NYC however. The reason being is that my NYS permit specifically does not allow me to be in or travel through NYC with a gun. It's just that simple. I am not a lawyer and I won't argue...

    Not for nothin, but... What's the definition of "inappropriate?" I'm not criticizing I'm just wondering for a couple reasons.

    Hi

    Strez Tactical's website made a reference for a November training event specific to this forum. So I googled and here I am.

    Hi

    It is not mine per se' although I've made it so. I found it a really long time ago. I recall it was a Native American warrior's quote, though I do not recall which of the peoples it came from, nor who specifically said it. I have carried it (literally) with me since. I believe it well defines...

    Hi

    Just stumbled on the forum. Figured it's good decorum to say hi rather than just lurk. Anyway; Hiya and enjoy your day.
