edgecrusher Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Not a knock on you, thanks for posting, but some guy put his name on a POF and attached a light and optics/B/U sights? Hmmm, maybe I can start a side job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COBrien Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Writing an article for a "shooting news" site professing the greatness of your own product is blatant self-promotion of the highest order, IMO. It's written in such a way that, if the reader didn't look at the "by line", the article would appear to have been written by some neutral/unbiased gun writer. That's the problem I have with it. But maybe I'm too critical/cynical... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotwrench Posted May 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Sounds about right, most Americans don't get much of an education these days aren't you glad you had the opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 46 when I went to college, biggest waste of time and money I have ever involved myself in. The only redeeming thing was the opportunity to mentor some of the youngsters and correct the propaganda being fed to them. College, and education should not be so closely associated with each other these days. 1 hour ago, COBrien said: But maybe I'm too critical/cynical...

Truer words were never spoken! The only exception I am aware of is that fine institute of higher learning, The School of Hard Knocks. I earned a P.H.D. (post hole digger)there. I now have most of the farm fenced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
