https://grabagun.com/magpul-industries-pmag-m3-223rem-30rd-blk.html $26 a piece for PMags and with free shipping. Definitely not the worst price these days. If you need some and they're not sold out, I wouldn't sit on it.

General Petraeus resigns amid affair scandal
You're not? Funny, you talk shit about officers damn near everyday on this forum. And this issue is no different--you comment on things you have little to no idea on what you're talking about. Do yourself a favor, if you do happen to make it into the Air Force, please don't be as foolish of a 2Lt as your portray yourself here. It's challenging enough to mentor the young guys when they don't have the 'I know everything' attitude. As a school house IP, guys you like you always took much more of my valuable time compared to those who needed additional help but were willing to take instruction and critism. Welcome to the military.

https://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product3.php?pid=TA31ECOS Here's a fantastic option if you can afford it. I shot my buddy's last weekend and though transitioning from the red dot to the ACOG/magnified reticle (ie scope) would definitely take some practice, it seems to capture thr best of both worlds...and it's hard to go wrong with a Trijicon.

It's definitely a step in the right direction, however, even if and when Illinois does in fact technically enact a CCW law, I'm sure it will be a 'May Issue' State and be damn near impossible for the Joe citizen to obtain one, much like in Hawaii.

Inside Combat Rescue
Interesting...especially since the CRH (60 replacement) is still receiving funding per this year's DoD Budget. Then again with sequestration, I would be surprised if the program gets cx'd...again.

I forgot to add that he's going to call you a racist as well.

Careful now...if you disagree with Joe he's going to call you stupid, heartless, and let you know why he's correct and why you should never question his opinion.

My stats are referring to the 2004 National Election in which Bush only received 44% of the nationwide Hispanic vote...and it's been going downhill since. I do believe a Rubio, Jindhal or Martinez could do better than Romney's 30% (seems hard to imagine that they could do worse), but it's coming down to the fact that Dems see a solid majority of Hispanics voting their way in years to come, and so they're giving what the majority of Hispanics want to see come from government--welfare, amnesty for illegals, bilingual education, etc. For the record, I don't disagree at all with Joe and Nsplayr that the Dems are playing politics a whole lot better than the GOP (especially on the national level), but to me, the Republic is way more important than playing politics, though those on the left seem to disagree. So back to the guns--I'd say expect more of the same from the States where Dems have control. They believe this issue is on their side and in a little less than 2 years we'll see if they are right. In the meantime, I'd continue to stock up, especially as prices become somewhat more reasonable again. The Dems are showing most of their cards in regards to the 2nd Amendment, so don't be surprised when they go all out--1 more liberal Justice on the SCOTUS and the Heller decision would have been flipped.

I could care less if we're down to one State, as long as that's the one that I am in. Texas will be Colorado in 20-30 years. Hispanics are by far the fasting growing demographic and they are currently being born 50% out of wedlock which is more of a recipe for requiring welfare than not...couple that with that they recently voted 70% for a politician that promised everybody free stuff and there you have it--solid and growing base for the Dems (Bush never even got to 45%) . Throw in the wild card that the GOP might be stupid enough to allow the illegals to become citizens and then it's even worse. All I'm saying is that if you're trying to forecast what a State will be like, you can't just look at its current makeup. Texas is a no-go for me. But as always when it comes to this issue, I hope I am wrong.

No worries man, you're exaxtly right. Anybody who cares about freedom should write/call their reps. Don't say it too loud though, as we might scare the few libs on here who are scared of guns.

I appreciate you noticing my badass'ness! If you read what I wrote, my reply was 100% in context. But don't you worry, I talk about guns all the time, not just on Internet forums. If you ever become a pilot you'll realize that a lot of us talk about guns, even at work. Oh wait, don't worry, you'll never become a pilot.

I can see that you don't visit the gun forum much. Then again I'm not surprised as pussies are typically afraid of guns.

I'm fairly confident that Gov Martinez will veto any such bill that makes it to her desk. I sure do appreciate the Dems giving the GOP this gift for the 2014 midterms--trying to take people's guns away I don't think will be a popular issue to defend in 18 months.

Got it--politics at all costs over principles and a realistic view of what is happening to the country. You are correct, the Dems have this one down.
