Don't be silly, staples are for children, real men use nails.

So true... LOL ....but it's for Wyatt, so neener neener weasel face.

759... I'll bet I get the "Dreamliner" number... :D

Tom hasn't learned how to handle a thread derailing when he's not the one at fault.... >:D *ducks and runs* <outtahere>

698 and counting....

683... gaining on the 1k mark!

A fellow topic-derailer... The force is strong with this one, I can tell.... <laughs>

That's high praise, but we are in good company. Madhouse, Microgunner, DNP, and a whole host of others were here making this place great long before I arrived. Drew made a really good point one time that helped me decide I really wanted to be part of this community. I'm paraphrasing here, but he effectively said "Egos will have to be checked at the door to be a member here. We all come to this site to enjoy ourselves and share a common interest, anyone who can't understand that doesn't belong here." That's when I knew this place was going to be around for the long haul, and I've enjoyed it thoroughly ever since. I respect all the staff and senior members without exception, and I'm proud to be a contributing member. I have yet to find an online firearm-themed forum that can even mildly compare to the ones that Drew runs.

That's what I use. Hard to beat in terms of usefulness vs. cost.

I'm almost scared to say this, but I really like that rifle! That's pretty sweet. :auto:

You're GTG, my stake isn't with what points are being made, that's part of the conversation. My duty is to the tone of the conversation and making sure that this forum stays a place we all like to visit. So far so good in that respect. <thumbsup> Also, I happen to agree completely with the point you're making. I'm just not in the "you should never speak to the police under any circumstances" camp. If I were an eyewitness to a crime, that attitude could severely impede the success of the resulting investigation. So again, a balance has to be found, as with everything. ;)

#657 Wear it out!

You're more correct than you may know... My pistol stable now contains four handguns and I rarely get to take them out and exercise them... :( As for the hand grenades, I definitely would like to spend some quality time with a crate full in a junkyard!

My name is Matt Cross, and I approved this message. :D

I have a comeback for that... You're amongst friends here, and differences of opinions can be discussed without escalating egos, so please don't throw challenges at members who are just having a conversation. There's no question that there's a balance to be found here. Sketch's point is valid, exercising good judgment and abiding by the law will largely keep you from ever having to exercise your 5th amendment rights. However, when the time comes that your statement has even the slightest chance of incriminating you, plead the 5th and weather the storm until help arrives. Life is too short to spend any amount of it trying to reverse a big legal botch job that can be avoided by consulting a legal expert.

Ditto! I'm having to wear a welding helmet now... LOL #650 :)

*Evil Grin* I know that you know that I know you know that there are ready-made SPS tactical models out their already profiled and braked for say, an Ops Inc can.... :evil5: You know you want to do it.... :laughing4:

I got in a tumbling match off a rock wash in the KY mountains once with my old Polaris Scrambler 500. I developed a brand new respect for that machine after we took turns landing on one another about 30 times....

591!

570!

I'd drag my balls across a mile of broken glass just to stand in line for the chance to drink her bath water.... LOL ... well, not quite, but... almost.

Merry Christmas everybody!!!

Hot dang! I gotta go tale maw thet I jist give sum advice that worked! We gonna celebrate with some shine and pig spittin' tonight!

I'm in YOUR corner old buddy ol' pal! I am a "Personal Text Modification Victim" myself, just read my tag line! ;D

By golly, if I ever catch that slippery tag line bandit, he's finished!
