Awesome. Like the song was his all along.

I was on the fence about it for quite a while since I'll probably be trading my truck again within the next year or two but as long as you buy a truck with the same sized bed, even if you buy a different brand, all you have to change is the deck itself for about 3 bills and 20 bucks in hardware depending on the model. I spoke with a rep directly and when she told me that, I thought about it for a LITTLE longer and hit the button. Great thing for back and forth to the range so I can keep stuff out of the cab and the back seat. Makes for a more "user friendly" kinda thing. I'll be happy to let you know what I think when I get it if you're interested in hearing it.

Bought a new "Decked System" for my Dodge. Been eyeballing it for a long time and finally went for it today. I've also got side bin boxes on my truck and I think they'll sit real nice with just a little shimming. http://shop.decked.com/product-p/dr3.htm

Great advice DNP. I'll keep that in mind for the future. Blue, if you watched the video, he clearly stated they used to do that to turn their shot shells into slugs years ago. To me, although it's nice to know how to do that, I'll just stick with slugs. It would be pretty silly cut a slug shell when the purpose of cutting a shot shell was to turn it into a slug now wouldn't it... Thanks for all the help though guys.

Damned if I do, damned if I don't.

Of course you could pull a Tackleberry and hold a jaywalking little old lady at bay with it while you make her dump her lil grocery bad out checking for contraband....

lol Love the bayonet rig Robo. Bet it would be a real hit if you showed up at a drug raid with it.....

Cut shells look like fun and all but I think I'll just stick with my Hexolit 32s. In a pinch though, that's always good stuff to know about. Also, this link doesn't work anymore but I looked it up on youtube and found what I believe is the video.

Not a big deal Shepp. Forget about it.

Simmer down? Really? Nothing wrong with me at all. Takes more than internet foolishness to get me going.

I love how people double check everyone. I've been a VOLUNTEER fire-fighter pretty much since I could walk. Grew up in it.

I was a cop and I don't make "judgements" about what happens in the field. I've got no room to talk frankly. My thoughts are more about the dust cover. Nowadays, whether he was right or wrong, that damn dust cover is going to make his job of walking away unscathed INFINITELY more difficult because whoever is prosecuting is going to have a field day with the implications of a cop CHOOSING to have something like that printed on his weapon. With things the way they are nowadays, they can almost call the dust cover ALONE intent. Painting a picture of a cop looking to kill. Whether it was true or not is irrelevant. In court, the truth is determined by whoever paints the most believable picture and one way or another, that kid is going to suffer, good shoot or not, because he made a stupid choice when he put that dust cover on there. No one will paint him as having made a "stupid choice" though. They'll do their best to paint him as "anxious" to end someone and they'll go after it like a rat after a chunk of meat and the press and the jury will eat it up. Poor kids got trouble I think. Even if it was a righteous shoot. He's in for a tough time.

Indeed. He might as well just right "killer" on his forehead as far as the courts will be concerned on that one. Stupid damn mistake and it's going to cost him in a bad way. Civilians/Vets, all of us - should keep this kind of thing in mind as well. If you are deployed in the military, that's one thing. But if you are back home and just defending your own at this point, anything along those lines spelled out on your home defense "go to" weapons may also not be the best idea. No matter how justified the shooting may be, death slogans on your weapons will give smart attorneys a foot in the door to argue an anxiousness and intent to do harm. No one wants to have to defend themselves against those kinds of arguments. I know people will say they will write any damn thing they want on their weapons but if they ever end up in court, those types of little slogans will absolutely cost you THOUSANDS of dollars more when paying your defense attorney as he attempts to make light of them.

We've got probably upwards of 700 rounds through mine already without a hiccup. Congrats on the new purchase and I hope it serves you well. It's not unheard of to have an issue or two with a new gun during break-in so I don't think 1 round out of several mags can quite be considered a problem at this point. Glad to hear you had a good run with it and I hope you end up as happy with it as I am mine.

Stupid, childish mistake on the cops part with that dust cover. That one little part could very well be a defining factor in the rest of his life at this point. As if the actual shooting wasn't bad enough without having something like that on display. I wonder if right now he is kicking himself over a potentially bad shoot or for his poor choice of dust cover.

I grabbed a 9mm Takedown model as a fun gun for my boys. It's kickin !!! Glock mags which I already have a crapload of and with a Redfield Red/Green dot sight and integrated laser, I can put 33 rounds into an apple sized group at 75 yards in under a minute shooting off of my range bag. Wife and sons love it and I have yet to have a single jam, FTF, FTE or otherwise. Very impressed with the little thing and I have zero complaints.

Speaking of Lady Gaga, although I don't believe I've ever knowingly heard a single song of hers, I googled her doing the Anthem just so I could hear it again and found this article. What she said a few days after singing the Anthem is truly surprising to hear from an artist these days and I truly hope she continues saying things like what is in this article. Who knows, maybe if we can get music (and the artists who sing it) to swing back our way, we might still have a chance yet. Of course though, it's just a hope of mine and I'm probably just pissing into the wind but hey, I've seen house fires start from just a single spark. Here's the link - http://rightwingnews.com/celebrities/lady-gaga-makes-shocking-confession-days-after-she-sang-our-national-anthem/

Absolutely agree about Lady Gaga. I don't think I've ever even heard one of her songs and I've never "caught on" to all of her crazy get-ups and all but she did a surprisingly great job on the Anthem. As for the game, well, it was a game but I really was happy to see Peyton and the Broncos win so at least Peyton has the opportunity to walk away from the game with a Superbowl victory and still have enough of his body and brain matter intact enough to enjoy life. I also wonder how much money he got for the Budweiser plugs he made during his victory speech and follow-up interview since he seemed to be making a point of saying he would be drinking budweisers later...lol Probably about 1/4 of a million per plug or some outrageous figure... Tough game for the panthers but still, Manning has paid his dues in this game and it'll be good to see him walk away a big winner.
