The idea of 'compromise' as in "No more compromising" really grinds my gears because I can't really think of a single instance of an actual compromise that has been made with regards to firearms rights. At best some weak "It could have been much worse" argument but an ACTUAL compromise? Nah, never seen one.
National BGC? OK, give us constitutional carry
FOID cards? Cool, no BGC and open up the registry
ETA: Just to be clear I DO NOT support national BGS or FOID cards, just used those as examples of compromises that would be actual compromises
I know what "FOID" means (Firearms Owner Identification Card) But, what is "BGC" and "BGS"?

I think style points is an expression some people use to communicate part of what motivates them to be on the range. Dressing up like cowboys and playing with their toys.I agree, if looking cool and shooting cool guns is what makes it fun for you then don't worry about who can shoot 24+ rounds in 12 seconds.
Personally, I LOVE the folks with the style points. After a match I don't usually remember who shot the fastest, but I will remember who wore the cool outfit, or who was shooting the really cool guns. Even if it's just a pair of neat boots or a "73 Musket. Or watching a guy shoot an original '60 Army. I LOVE that stuff. I may be impressed by the 12 second shooter, but I want to BE the guy shooting the cool guns. I'm not, but I'd like to be.
If you've got the time, money, and skills to be a 12 second shooter, knock yourself out. I won't be the guy trying to tell you your fun is wrong.

I had the same question, so I looked up Canadian enlisted ranks.
A slick sleeve is an untrained private. One chevron is a trained private. Two chevrons is a corporal. Two chevrons and an oak leaf is a master corporal.
OK, Call me "Master Corporal".
Thanks
Now, what is "PLQ"?

It's a Canadian Thing!
Two questions:
What is "PLQ"?
What is the new rank? "Special Corporal"? "Leaf Corporal"? "Special Chevron Corporal"?

I'd agree with the CF appraisal, but on the other hand -- gold service stripes = no disciplinary action. Don't know when started Navy high year tenure .
Forgive my ignorance, but if they are wearing gold service stripes it means they have never been the subject of disciplinary action. So, the guys wearing red service stripes HAVE been the subject of disciplinary action at some point in their career? A guy goes 20 years without discipline and wears gold service stripes. Year 21 he screws up and gets ganked so from then on all his service stripes are red?
Just trying to understand. While I'm at it, at what level of discipline does the change take effect? A "bad boy" letter in his file or time spent in the brig?

I used mine in 3 gun matches, along with a 1911, and model 97
The more I think about that the more fun it sounds. I think, maybe, I could almost justify the purchase of an M-1 Carbine for that. Almost. It still doesn't explain the stupid high prices they're going for now. I think I'd substitute a Model 12 for the '97, tho. I just like the Model 12 more. Plus, I already have one.

That would certainly be fun, but so would a Garand. And neither one would be a first choice for a "serious" competitor. i.e. You won't see Jerry Miceluk (sp) using either unless he's just having fun or showing off. For the record, I have NO problem with having fun. Heck, I wouldn't shoot anything if I wasn't having fun.
Now I'm thinking I'd like to have a Stg 44. THAT would be fun! Although I don't know where I'd even get ammo for one.

I've always wanted an M-1 Carbine. Unfortunately, they're going for stupid high prices. Way too much for a gun whose only real use is as a plinker. Can't hunt (much) with 'em and they sure ain't no target rifle. Just lots of fun to shoot.

My friend's daughter does that. At least she used to. She may have out grown it.
It does get some interesting looks.

Talk to some nurses, my wife has been one for 30 years now. Some of the things she and her friends joke about just hurt to think about.
Yeah, I forgot about nurses. Probably most in the medical field as well. Want to talk sex stuff or gross stuff? Talk to a nurse. Wow! Just, Wow! I got into a conversation with a group of nurses some years back and when it meandered into the topics of sex and gross stuff they about crossed my eyes and I'm sure I must have blushed. I was also glad I had an empty stomach.

I've laughed at worse. Same as most other LEO's or (ex)military.

I just noticed. Why in the world would they have deadbolts on a hollow-core internal door?
Hollow core exterior doors aren't really all that unusual around here. They are a pretty good sign that it's a rental property or section 8 housing. I've knocked on a few doors that a 6 year old could punch through and I wouldn't trust to hold a leaning man upright.

I saw a recording of the outtakes of her shows once. I'd love to see it again. Can't remember what it was called, but I laughed for weeks after that .
I don't think they had "outtakes". Screwups, flubs and bloopers, yeah. But I don't think they took any of them out.
And I agree. That was one darn funny show.

I know you didn't write that joke, but just for general purposes and everybody's knowledge - there is no such thing as a Canadian goose.
It's a Canada Goose. Look it up.
If a Canada Goose lives in Canada doesn't that make it a Canadian Canada Goose?

Odd how there's no wind out there
I wondered the same thing. The way that door opens the wind should be trying to slam it shut. Photo-shop?

OK, Alpo, I'll help you out.
Poseidon is the Greek god of the sea.
Neptune is the Roman god of the sea. "Row man" = "Roman", got it? Hate it yet?

Motor is not running...blade bar is up...no wonder it's hard to push.
This is why I always read to the end of a thread before posting. I thought the same thing when I saw the picture. But I wanted to see if anyone else noticed and commented before I said anything.

When you go to the hardware store and you get a box of six penny nails, what does the box say on the end of it?
That's right. 6d

Warming up your car
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
Toyota Camry and Toyota Highlander. If I start the car, step outside and close the door, I cannot lock the door with the fob. If the engine is running and the door is locked, I cannot unlock the door with the fob.
It's really not a big deal. If I want to warm up the car and walk away I just use an extra key to lock the door while it warms up and unlock it when I return. I don't want a car that does not have a key. The fob is just one more electronic thing that's just too easy to screw up. I walk to and from my car on my own and I know how to operate a key.
