    Arc Flashlight Going Out of Business

    WOW! I haven't been around here in a looooong time but I saw the news on another forum and had to come by to express my condolences on the loss of Arc. Peter, Merri and company thanks so much for such great products and service. I love all my arc lights a great deal, they have gotten me through...

    GUN CONTROL

    Jason, here is the link to a website on CCW info. In NYC sometimes you need to enlist the help of an expidition service to help obtain a permit, it is very expensive. When my wife and I first moved here I got cold called by a service offering to help me get CCW for around $250-$300 I didn't...

    Paris Air Terminal Collapse; $900 M dud?

    If you ask me it all seems like part of the lousy trend of reverse engineering an aesthetic conceptualization. What Tage Frid called "cold designing". He believed that engineering and aesthetic have to evolve together based on solid knowledge of the working characteristics of the materials...

    GUN CONTROL

    The NRA publishes many accounts of successful citizen self defense cases in every issue of it's publication American Rifleman in a section titled "Armed Citizen". They may also feature this through their website but I'm not sure. I think also the CDC may keep records of firearms crime...

    What's the best knife for self-defense?

    Re: What\'s the best knife for self-defense? Oh, holy crap guys! Do you think criminals train in fighting techniques? No, they just ignorantly manage to kill you, that's all. If you are facing death, any option is viable! To tell someone that only "qualified" professionals are able to...

    should immigrant rights be the same as citizens?

    Re: The end justifies the means I find that morality is just as relative as any thing else and philosophy usually sucks at subverting natural tendency when moralistic view is at a low. Morality is usually only in any great evidence when there is adequate security and resource to support life...

    should immigrant rights be the same as citizens?

    Re: The end justifies the means I'll state it again. It's relative. It's subjective. All of those posting here concerning moral righteousness may have never dealt in what they speak of. Many, many individuals have done what is generally viewed as morally reprehensible, sometimes in defense of...

    should immigrant rights be the same as citizens?

    Re: The end justifies the means Seems relative, to me. I mean if you take into account what Jack Crow says, simple survival is an end, and to the individual it can be justification in, and of itself of "any means neccessary". I guess in the natural world there is no need for justification. Only...

    Report: Al Qaeda Has Nukes - Fox news

    Ikendu, #2 will continue to exist as long as there are fundamentalist militants who believe the only way we can bring an end to terrorism is to convert to Islam and end support to Zionists. So seeing as we live in a country that supports freedom of religion and refuses to accept theocracy based...

    In response to the Baghdad hotel bombing

    This is something the media wouldn't print. A letter from a Marine Commander to his Marines. "From the Commanding Officer at MWSS-171 to his Marines. Marines and Sailors, As we approach the end of the year I think it is important to share a few thoughts about what you've accomplished...

    Fisher Space Pen

    [ QUOTE ] tkl said: Got mine today, very nice, writes smoothly with no blobbing. I opened it up, simple solid design. But I honestly don't see what the fuss is, unless you just like metal pens or need something that writes when wet. I like my Pilot easy touch(2/$1.99) as much if not more...

    Fisher Space Pen

    Like I stated before my latest bullet pen is a reformulation and a redesigned cartridge since last year and does not blob or streak and is more fine line than the older ones and I love it, It works great. The cartridge is a PR#4 from july of last year and writes like a normal ball point, and...

    Fisher Space Pen

    I think the latest Ink formula is better than the old stuff that blobbed and smeared alot, the new stuff is more fine line too. I have owned 4 and lost two in the past 15 years and now I have two of the pocket ones that I haven't lost because one stays in my Spec. Ops THE checkbook wallet and...
