Saw similar events play out at recent gun shows as well. All this gun control talk has people freaking, as if it weren't bad enough already with Obama's re-election. I am just glad that some of us had the foresight to prepare in advance! Cheers! M2

Guys The other pilot's situation has yet to be resolved, so hold off on the speculation. I've gotten word that after Axle's acquittal, 18 AF has dropped its case against her; but her future has still yet to be determined. There is obviously more information that cannot be shared at this time, but once things have been resolved her side of the story will be posted. Jared was not the only subject of this witch hunt, so don't jump to conclusions until all the facts are known! Cheers! M2

Of course she will, it's how she keeps her idiot constituents happy. Gun sales have been on the rise for a while, just before the election (October) the number of background checks on people applying to buy guns--considered an indicator of future sales--increased by 18.4%, and it's not all about the threat of an assault weapons ban because a large number of those sales are for handguns which would be unaffected by it. In truth, it's incidents like what happened in Newtown that cause people to realize they cannot depend on others for their own safety, causing them to seek other means to protect themselves, their families and their property. Despite what morons like Feinstein think, the majority of Americans do believe in the Second Amendment and understand that more restrictions will not prevent a similar incident from happening again. If anything, the argument that MORE armed citizens might be a greater deterrent is lost on them as they don't understand that had an armed citizen been present at the school, the number of victims may have been reduced. Bt that is the problem with our government, after such events they punish law-abiding citizens and give criminals even more opportunity to kill. Her face is an assault weapon, let's ban that!* Cheers! M2 * - Yeah, that's immature, I know; but such rationale that depriving law-abiding citizens the right to defend themselves irritates me to no end. California has some of the strictest laws in the country, but in 2010 it had the highest number of gun murders - 1,257, which is 69% (no, I did not make up that percentage) of all murders that year and equivalent to 3.37 per 100,000 people in the state. Even in her own state, Feinstein can't figure out that idiotic legislation is not doing anything about the problem!

The Glock or XD would be a good, less expensive choice; but all are great guns. For those two, you'll have to determine which feels better to you; the XD has a 1911-like grip angle whereas the Glock requires some bending of the wrist. I was a big Glock fan until I held a XD nearly seven years ago, at which point I much prefer it. Any reason you're stuck on .40 caliber? I've shot 'em and honestly have yet to figure out why they are such a popular choice with law enforcement agencies. I know they're derived from the 10mm the FBI thought was the answer after the 1986 Miami shootout where two Special Agent were killed and five injured in a confrontation with two serial bank robbers (who were also killed). Since the 10mm proved too hot a load for many officers, the .40 S&W was developed; but for me it incorporates the snappiness of a 9mm with nominal energy advantage. Plus a later FBI study showed that all factors (shot placement, etc) being equal, the advantage will always go to a larger round that creates the greatest wounding effect. Obviously it's personal choice, but I would like to hear your reasons if you're willing to share them. It's no biggie, I just don't own any .40 pistols and while I have shot them, I just have never understood their appeal. Cheers! M2

Wow, I've never seen that link before, it's pretty interesting. I'm surprised at the number of Lt Cols that are listed and the charges, or how many CMs are going on here at good ol' Lackland! Cheers! M2

SFGuy's post has been re-approved given Axle's acquital. I PM'd him about why it was temporarily unapproved and he understood. Sorry, but no. While it is OK for individuals to give advice on here; anyone needing true legal representation should contact a lawyer and not depend solely on what is recommended to them on an Internet forum (even this one). If you want to know more about the military legal system, I suggest reading The Military Commander and the Law. It contains everything most military personnel need to know about the UCMJ and military proceedings. Beyond that, you need to talk to a JAG/ADC/etc. Cheers! M2

Agreed, and I am curious as to how many Army personnel involved in this incident are facing a court martial as well...

So you know all the facts and are certain beyond a reasonable doubt that Capt Foley is guilty as charged? Please share this detailed knowledge with the rest of the forum as while it is tragic that Francis Campion died, most of us are not convinced Foley was responsible for his death.

OK, it's from 2008; but if you haven't seen Hank & Mike then you're missing one of the funniest low-budget comedies of recent years... Cheers! M2

Doesn't anyone know how to UTFSF anymore?!?

Rain, you're never alone with a schizophrenic!

Should be fixed, let me know if it's not. By the way, was this an accident as well, or is there a bigger issue here that needs to be addressed? Also, do you want your display name to be back to 'Fury220'? It's an easy change. Lastly, how many accounts do you have? We need to get you back to just one. Cheers! M2

They should follow the lead of the Marines by providing detailed instructions and examples on how to haze someone!
