Hell, I'd be more impressed if state carry laws applied on military installations. I understand USC 18 Sec 930, but not even allowing people to keep personally-owned firearms in their vehicles when state law allows it is just stupid!

Been trying to read the article during breaks of my day, I am not overly impressed so far. It's more whining than anything, the guy gets out so close to retirement and wonders why there aren't any jobs outside of private security contractor gigs. No fucking shit! It's a good lesson to all that not every military skill transfers into the civilian world. Have fun during your career, but be prepared as it won't last forever! And the retirement plan ain't no secret either. Given his career, he could have easily found a job in the Navy that didn't require him to be a frontline pipehitter. Anyone whose read Yellow Green Beret, Chester has a pretty accurate description of SEALs...Sleep, Eat and Lift!

Respectfully agree to disagree. There's a lot more to being a cop than shooting (but I agree, most cops are lousy at it and many will admit it!) just as there is a lot more to being in the military than marching.

No, we're not.

Got this for $275, not bad considering the current market. I'm picking it up later this week... I know they have a reputation for being a bit finicky with ammo, but what .22 isn't? Even .22 firearm I own has its quirks, but I'm expecting this to be a fun plinker. Cheers! M2

The "Cuomo," I like it!

For my fellow AK enthusiasts, the Guns & Ammo Complete Book of the AK-47 2013 is available for pre-order now. It will be out in March. Будем здоровы! M2

$1200 for a standard WASR-10? OK, it's a GP but that's no real biggie. That's not double their price from six months ago, that's more than triple it. WASR-10s went as low as $299 last year, but were mainly running around $350-400 at best...

SGAmmo has/will have 1000 rounds of 7.62x39 for $250... https://www.sgammo.com/product/golden-tiger/1000-rds-762x39-fmj-bt-golden-tiger-124-grain-ammo-limit-1-case-day-customer Get some!

The question is, what post-military job opportunities do Navs/EWO/WSO/CSO's and ABM's not have?! I have to agree with nsplayr here, there are plenty of employment opportunities post-military. The vast majority of retired and prior-service officers I know are employed in lucrative positions. While some don't end up in aviation; most are skilled, experienced and motivated enough to find some kind of good work (and pay) once they leave the military. But of course, some prepare themselves for that eventuality better than others...

WTF? Does Go Daddy think this is going to draw customers?!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-3j4-4N3Ng

WTF? Kudos to The Guardian for that last line! Cheers! M2

Sí, gracias!

50. WTF?

Not surprising, I recently renewed my 03 FFL (C&R) and it was a circus. First, the ATF lost my paperwork; then I got ahold of the examiner and was told I could email it to him. I did and didn't hear anything for a couple of days, so I emailed him to make sure he got it. He claims he didn't, so I resent it to the same email address and this time he got it. While we were on the phone and he was looking up my account, he mumbled something about a disorderly conduct charge in 1983. I was "WTF?!?" as I was stationed in the UK at the time and while I was involved in some shenanigans, I was never formally charged for any of it. He responded he was looking at someone else's account, which makes me wonder who else has got my same FFL or SSN?!? I remained courteous and respectful the entire time, but I was tempted to go off on the guy. Honestly, this is all this particular office does. I wondered if they were staffed by former USAF MPF or Finance personnel! And the kicker, while they lost my original paperwork; they did manage to deposit my payment! Cheers! M2

Nope, that's who I was thinking of; back to the topic at hand...

A hero among heroes!

That's it. OK, I got some bad intel. First, these were ProMags not PMAGs. This group was buying some of the latter but the issues are with the former. Secondly, these are the 40-round magazines.

No different than the anti-nuke clowns at Offutt...

There's an interesting story behind that pic...
