    It’s worth the risk to me. They do a lot of catering and weekend brunch business. They’ll be fine. 

    Ues, because all of the Houstonians on here are going to drive to wherever for lunch regularly and swamp them!

  2. I am. 

    I might wander down to Collector's Firearms soon and see what all they have on the shelves when it comes to used stuff.  Their website sucks ass trying to narrow down what looks decent but they do usually have a nice selection to look over.  

    I'm not quite in the "build it" head space yet.  I'm might get there but for now off the shelf with easier add-ons or  mods (grips, sights, optics, lights, stock) are more my speed.  Then I'll move on to triggers and other stuff.)

    And I always sort of assumed the nature of the business was such that the people who needed to know who you were knew who you were, and going around promoting yourself to the public as if you were something special wouldn’t bring the kind of attention you really wanted. That’s probably mostly based on the fact that I never saw any other builders trying to impress my midwestern teenage self that they were some kind of business titan. 

    He's our generations P.T. Barnum.  Freakish in every way.

  4. Plinking mostly but something to have at home in case I need to fight aliens or orcs.  

    I will definitely be getting a suppressor so the CMMG or one of the shorter FNs are attractive in order to keep overall length down.  

    I will check out PMS.  There are several other makers in that range that I don't know a whole lot about and haven't been around like the more "legacy" brands.   Places like PSA, POF, etc.

  5. Curious on opinions about 3 completely different rifles:

    Springfield Saint Victor 16" barrel AR-15.   This is is the only one I have shot and it was a nice gun.  I can get a good deal on one ($890).

    FN SRP G2P AR-15 in either 16" or  14.7".   There's also an 11.5" G2 here in Houston (allegedly) that is an interesting SBR.  I haven't shot any FN rifles but this line has good reviews.  

    CMMG Banshee 12.5" barrel.  Another SBR that is attractive because of the length.  

    Thoughts?

    Maybe this is part of a femdom/humiliation targeted text campaign. Not for me, but probably has higher conversion% than what Colin Allred is doing. 

    The next evolution in GOP spouses.    It's no longer cool to be a Trad Wife.   Now it's Doom Life.

    I need to know how to do this. The 20% part. 

    I love Costa Rica.

    Nakatomi Plaza isn't going to rob itself, Slacks.

  8. I shot a couple of new guns to me this afternoon:

    Springfield Saint AR.  Enjoyed shooting it even though I only put 50 rounds down range but had a pretty decent group even with just iron sights.  Granted I was only able to shoot 50 yards where I was (indoor range) but I was happy with the accuracy.  I like the gun but hate the giant "Saint" markings on the lower receiver.   I know it's pretty common for makers to emblazon their logo/brand on that part of the rifle but Springfield's is obnoxious.   I only shot 50 rounds from the Saint because I wanted to shoot their AK clone and...

    I regret that.  Next up, I shot a Century Arms VSKA with a metal triangular stock and no padding.  45 rounds later and I think I gave myself a stinger in my right shoulder.  The sights sucked and I was all over the place accuracy wise.   Obviously, 7.62x39 is a whole different beast than 5.56 but I'm sticking to the smaller round for now.

    If the trump wins, the only people who can work for the federal govt are people who pledge their loyalty towards Trump. This will go beyond the cabinet. I seriously believe that it will be anyone who has decision power in the federal govt.  sure, a mail carrier won’t have to make a pledge but any mgmt level will.

    They've already said that's what they are going to do.  Trump wants to gut the civil service jobs and require fealty from all sorts of jobs.
