Original author, but not my guy. Not sure which one is the greater "thinker" I'm pretty confident "MY GUY" is a better shot.....even in Bright Light!
lmao. Wasn't that a tag line on the Original Hide back around 2008-2009? Mazer, you remember? I'm too damn old to remember back that far. At any rate, made an impression on me cuz I rarely think about what my alligator mouth says to overload my humming bird ass... It's a character fault and it made me give pause somewhat!

Why don’t these younger generations pull themselves up by the boot straps like I did

Something is terribly wrong here. My Dad worked as a civil servant making more than min wage in 1968 and he wasn't making no equivalent of +$6k per freakin week! Judas Priest, someone’s fricking delusional.

We lived in a mobile home at that time with 4 kids and we were barely scraping by. With two more kids in the 70s my Dad was able to have a modest house built. Us kids all shared bedrooms except for my sister. Dad finished the house himself, to save money.

Dad went to work and came home. No drinking, gambling or any other waisting money. In the 70s Mom and Dad both did side jobs on top of Dad’s full time job just to make ends meet. We were poor. Not dirt poor but with six kids it wasn’t a life of luxury an equivalent of $6k per week would have brought. There was no $1K per kid coming in. Utterly ridiculous……

One thing is for sure, they were buying food and clothing for us kids, not gold.


What full time job did mom work again?

Because it seems that your dad raised 6 kids and built a house, all on a single income. Seems like a great guy. It also seems like a pretty well off situation to be in, even if it didn't feel like it at the time.

Seems to me I remember someone of semi-majorly import (IMHO), and in another universe, long ago and far away, had a tag line that I thought quite clever and very well said.
Went something like this: "Watch your thoughts...they become words.....words become deeds....deeds define your character".
I can't remember the dudes name and can't research it right now. Power is fluctuating.....light is very low.....can't see the key board.

My take is: NO situational awareness here. This shitbird shoulda kept his whore mouth shut, cuz. As the actor Trinidad Silva said in "Colors"..... "you fucked up NOW, homes!"
Yeah, I remember that. Who was it now...HMFI...something?

Suppressors Lipsey's Rugged Obsidian45 or Lipsey's Gemtech Lunar-45 Suppressor

My local gun shop has become a Class III dealer and I want another suppressor. On paper, both the Rugged Obsidian45 and Gemtech Lunar-45 meet my basic requirements for a pistol suppressor to be used with .45ACP and 9mm.
Does anyone have first-hand experience with either of these suppressors and, if so, what are your thoughts?

Thank you, Richard

Opinion on Bear Creek Arsenal?

The best thing about BCA is that they stand behind what they sell. From what Ive seen anyway.

You just have to manage your expectations. Just don't dont be surprised if you shoot the barrel out in 5k rounds or break a bolt or some other part prematurely.

I'd also take all if the claims of MOA accuracy with a large grain of salt. Finding an AR barrel that will hold that kind of accuracy for more than a few rounds isn't easy. A good barrel and ammo combo will do a solid 2 MOA for 10 or more rounds consistently.

Bullet proof vest tech- time for updates?

Find the video referenced in post #10 of the original "Someone murdered Charlie Kirk" thread. Watch it frame by frame. Just after Charlie answers someone in the crowd and lowers his mic a circular impression about 5" diameter and an inch or so deep appears roughly 2" up and to Charlie left of his center of mass. It disappears almost immediately as the letters on the shirt arch upward. The letters fall back to straight as the collar begins to rise. The collar falls back just before the first trace of blood appears on his neck.

Everyone knows what happens then and it is not germane to the question of his wearing armor or not.

My take, worth what you paid, is the murderer aimed center mass, impact was roughly 2" high right, the vest absorbed the strike but the deformed slug ricocheted upward, lifting the collar before entering his neck. At that angle it ruptures the artery lengthwise, results as shown in the video.

Yes, Charlie has nipples. Although most of the videos are now taken down as I remember the images of him moving around interacting with the crowd do not appear to show body armor. Once he gets his mics, sits and becomes stationary there is a side image where it looks like something under the shirt is hanging up on the backrest of the chair. Other images posted elsewhere seem to indicate he had armor.

Many here have seen slomo sequences of armor/bullet strikes. That is what is shown in the original video of 5 days ago.

I would post it and set it to the proper time but I'm not computer savvy enough to find a copy since it's been pulled.

Find a copy of the video and look for yourself. The answer was evident days ago. "Top Men" will not be informing us of anything having to do with security specifics.

Thank you,
