I need my 5mins back. I aborted the playing after 3.5mins. The extra time due is a penalty. :biggrinjester: :fire

Thousands of people watch this guy. He contradicts himself a lot and puts out bad information. I'm really starting to wonder about the people who conceal carry around me.

I dunno, I've become less of an NFL fan as the desecration disease has started to spread. So far, I haven't seen anyone in Dallas showing symptoms. Hoping that continues.

I like some of his videos. He's usually pretty entertaining. What he may lack in well thought-out commentary he makes up for with decent editing. Occasionally I like to hear his points of view on controversial topics, not because they mirror mine, because often they don't, but because he is pretty good at explaining his reasoning. Other times he uses to much crude humor for me.

This video was not his finest moment.

I don't understand why he's so concerned about a HPs ability to penetrate through bone. Maybe I'm missing something, but if it hits bone and stops, it still delivers as much energy as if it had traveled through the bone and stopped later. I guess it doesn't create as large of a wound channel, but I'm primarily concerned about hitting the bad guy hard and taking him down. I don't care about how much he bleeds afterwards.

I can understand the argument about deflection off of a surface like a window or whatever, but I see it as very unlikely as a private citizen that I will be a in situation where I am trying to shoot a threat through a window... Most likely I imagine I will be firing at someone who is either inside my home, or who has threatened me in public and refuses to stop after I have displayed my weapon.

I will consider using something like this when major government entities start start using it. They have more money and resources to flesh out the claims than I do. Bleeding edge technology will bleed you to death. Sometimes the old tried and true is best.

Forgive my off thread remark about the Cowboys...

It appears Jerry Jones implied he expects respect from his team. I'm proud of that.

This is almost the same argument as to which gun to carry. I have friends that will bash anyone that doesn't carry a glock. They think glocks are the second coming of christ. I get bashed all of the time for carrying a 1911. But that is what I like, it's what I'm proficient with, and it's what I practice with. I'm a firm believer in carry what you are comfortable with, and what you will practice with. Same goes for ammunition. I would not knock someone for carrying fmj's if they have never fed hp's through their gun. It would be asenine to do that. Carry what you know, and know what you carry.
