A knee-jerk reaction by lawmakers back in the 1950s, that's all. The same reason we can't own fully-automatic firearms without going through an assload of bureaucracy via the ATF. But it seems odd that I can own a semi-automatic version of the most lethal weapon in the world (the AK-47) but I can't carry a small switchblade knife... It's just as odd that the state of Texas allows me to carry a concealed pistol with 14 rounds of .45ACP in it; but not a switchblade! Even worse, I live in Texas where--of all places--a Bowie knife is illegal to carry! It all reminds me of DHS officer I met once, who was authorized to carry a firearm aboard commercial aircraft. He told us one day his bag was searched and TSA found a cigar-cutter in it. He was told he could not take it on the plane. He reminded them that he was armed, and the TSA agent replied that he had authorization to carry the pistol, but not the cigar-cutter! Cheers! M2 p.s. Actually, switchblades are NOT illegal in every state. See here.

Yeah, I should have warned everyone before posting that link!

Not sure if I or anyone else posted this, but this is an excellent website for finding gun-related deals on the web! Slick Guns Cheers! M2

Crabonated?!?

OK guys, discussing security issues at a base is definitely an OPSEC violation! Subject posts have been deleted, and the individual who first posted the information has received a warning!

Wrong-o, old friend; who do you think that is in the upper lefthand corner? The weaponry should have been your first clue... And the Texas license plate should have been your second!

Here's a few to ponder... Mt Rushmore from the Canadian side.

You'll notice in the above pic of CMSAF Roy's multicam's that his rank and name strips are brown. I guess it's the new blue! But what in the hell do second lieutenants and majors wear?

Not if they're not from this country, at which point they are considered a non-American-Asian! But if they are from the US, then they're called AAFES employees!

Of course, now the Navy had to have a new uniform as well... Pretty much a combination of ACUs, MARPAT and MULTICAMs...

A good article, but unfortunately I doubt it will change things...

I heard it was because he didn't like the new look of BaseOps!

That's the rumor!

Anyone have a S&W BG380? I got an extra magazine for one with some stuff today, and since I don't own one there no reason to keep it. I'll be more than happy to drop it in the mail to anyone who actually owns one...PM me with your mailing address if you do. Gone! Cheers! M2

The question's been asked and answered, so there's no need to continue on with this discussion...

Trust me, that IP address is not likely to be the source of the crime. Cyber thieves know how to cover their tracks pretty well, so the best you can do is contact your financial institution and get things resolved from your side and make sure it has been reported to the authorities. Unless you are well-skilled and experienced in such matters, you'll have zero chance of tracking the culprit down..

Now I'm a bit irritated, I ended up ordering one of those GSG-522s from Bud's earlier today, and now I noticed the price decreased by another twenty bucks! I've emailed Bud's about it, I hope they will just credit me the difference otherwise I am going to cancel my order and reorder it. Hopefully they'll honor the new price and save me the trouble, I've bought guns from them before and have always found they provide excellent customer service. Cheers! M2

I have a GSG-5 (earlier model) and while we love shooting it, it's a jammo-matic! Still, I am contemplating buying one from Bud's as that is an excellent price and hopefully the newer GSG-522s are more reliable. Plus, much of the aftermarket items I have will transfer over; so I can cannibalize mine and sell the remaining stuff for probably more than what I'd pay for a new one (oddly enough, there are a lot of people out there who want them despite their finickiness!). Cheers! M2

By the way, there's more info on the T-6s being grounded in the CSAF Daily Ops Update on SIPRNET (there's a link on the BaseOps SIPRNET page)...

Actually, in Texas it is perfectly legal to flash your lights to warn another motorist of the presence of traffic enforcement by the police... God bless Texas!

I haven't read through all of it, but this allegedly is pretty accurate... 1911 Buyers Guide Cheers! M2

A safe provides much more security, not only from theft but if you get a decent one, from fire as well. I was just looking at an 80-gun safe this weekend. Time to upgrade! Cheers! M2

This was in the local news website's mug shots section... WTF?
