Re: First Time Applicant - Is online status check broke?

After reading through this post I decided to spend the money to buy a gun belt. It made a world of difference, I carry a sig p320c and with the flimsy belt it would shift and sag and needed regular adjustment and the grip never stayed tight up against my body, the gun belt changed all this.

Re: 51% signs
