Well, I did grab that TEC-9 a few months back (OK, 5 months ago!) and finally got a chance to take it out to the range. Honestly, it was a blast to shoot! With two magazines (60+ rounds), we had two malfunctions, one FTF and one FTE (a stovepipe). Both were early on in the first magazine, and the FTE was when my wife was shooting it (she was apprehensive at first, but loved shooting it!). For how cheap I got it, I'll keep it. I'd never use it as a self-defense weapon but it's such fun to shoot and so ghetto that there's no reason to get rid of it. I'm very happy... Cheers! M2

CH, if you really want a nice AR; drop me a line. I know a custom builder here in SA who will hook you up without tearing off an arm and a leg... Cheers! M2

OK, since a few of you don't seem to be paying attention; this is specifically directed towards the recent reporting on a certain system being vulnerable to intercept. This is the final warning, do NOT start another thread on this subject! Several have been closed already, I removed them due to OPSEC concerns. This forum is NOT the place where a vulnerability such as this needs to be discussed, even if it's being reported by certain elements of the media! If anyone has any questions, feel free to PM me; otherwise I do not want to see any more threads started on this subject. Thanks! M2

And yet another reminder to NOT post any sensitive/critical information even if it is unclassified and/or published in the media! Examples of which include, but are not limited to: Specific details on current and future operations Travel itineraries, especially those of senior officials Operational planning information Personal identification information (PII) Any security procedures Specific capabilities, limitations or vulnerabilities (to include degradation of systems or equipment) That is a generic list but if there is any question or doubt over whether some information should be posted, then don't post it! Feel free to contact me with any questions, I'd rather you be proactive in addressing the issue than my having to be reactive and cleaning up the mess afterward; because after I am done my next target will be you! Cheers! M2

Can you buy guns in DC these days? Seriously, I'm not sure; the DC Appeals Court recently upheld that an Assault Weapons Ban was constitutional... Washington, D.C. Assault Weapons Ban Constitutional, Appeals Court Rules

"Patriot?" Maybe as a football player; but as an officer in the USN he falls far short of that title... What is really happening is that he's whining about his ADSC despite his free education courtesy the USNA! I hope FNG Kettani gets handed a big bowl of shit when he gets to the USS Klakring. He knew what the conditions were when he went to Annapolis, now he's crying because someone is holding him accountable. And BRAVO ZULU to the Navy for making him serve his commitment!

Fail.

A knee-jerk reaction by lawmakers back in the 1950s, that's all. The same reason we can't own fully-automatic firearms without going through an assload of bureaucracy via the ATF. But it seems odd that I can own a semi-automatic version of the most lethal weapon in the world (the AK-47) but I can't carry a small switchblade knife... It's just as odd that the state of Texas allows me to carry a concealed pistol with 14 rounds of .45ACP in it; but not a switchblade! Even worse, I live in Texas where--of all places--a Bowie knife is illegal to carry! It all reminds me of DHS officer I met once, who was authorized to carry a firearm aboard commercial aircraft. He told us one day his bag was searched and TSA found a cigar-cutter in it. He was told he could not take it on the plane. He reminded them that he was armed, and the TSA agent replied that he had authorization to carry the pistol, but not the cigar-cutter! Cheers! M2 p.s. Actually, switchblades are NOT illegal in every state. See here.

Yeah, I should have warned everyone before posting that link!

Not sure if I or anyone else posted this, but this is an excellent website for finding gun-related deals on the web! Slick Guns Cheers! M2

Crabonated?!?

OK guys, discussing security issues at a base is definitely an OPSEC violation! Subject posts have been deleted, and the individual who first posted the information has received a warning!

Wrong-o, old friend; who do you think that is in the upper lefthand corner? The weaponry should have been your first clue... And the Texas license plate should have been your second!

Here's a few to ponder... Mt Rushmore from the Canadian side.

You'll notice in the above pic of CMSAF Roy's multicam's that his rank and name strips are brown. I guess it's the new blue! But what in the hell do second lieutenants and majors wear?

Not if they're not from this country, at which point they are considered a non-American-Asian! But if they are from the US, then they're called AAFES employees!

Of course, now the Navy had to have a new uniform as well... Pretty much a combination of ACUs, MARPAT and MULTICAMs...

A good article, but unfortunately I doubt it will change things...

I heard it was because he didn't like the new look of BaseOps!

That's the rumor!

Anyone have a S&W BG380? I got an extra magazine for one with some stuff today, and since I don't own one there no reason to keep it. I'll be more than happy to drop it in the mail to anyone who actually owns one...PM me with your mailing address if you do. Gone! Cheers! M2

The question's been asked and answered, so there's no need to continue on with this discussion...
