NRA Convention
« on: April 25, 2014, 09:21:43 PM »
Cordex can confirm this actually happened today.

If while wandering through the NRA Convention and you happen to go around a random corner, look up and see Heckler & Koch, turn the Brain Filter ON.

Because stating in a normal speaking voice, "Oh look, H&K. Because you suck and we hate you." Will earn you the very nasty glare of one of their booth boys.

I blame Larry Correia.


Had a great time there and hanging with Cordex.  Thanks for Lunch !!  Next time I buy.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

We all owe you a beer.  Well done, sir.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Again, Scout, I adore you.

Lol.  :rofl: I give my friend who owns a usp 45 constant *expletive deleted*it. He complains that he can't hit the mag release without changing his grip? Its because he lacks manly teutonic hands. He stipples the  grips to make it grippier? Nein! That is not the H und K way!
I get endless material from Correia's rant, its even better because my friend has read it and thinks its funny too.

Which is extra funny because I have shortish fingers, and I love paddle/lever magazine releases and own a USP .40, and a USP 9 for that reason. And have divested myself of all my Glocks save for the 26 because reaching the controls and magazine release is difficult.

The ginormous USP trigger guard makes it almost an impossibility to reach a tactical light's controls, but it doesn't really matter because most guns reach distance is too far without a major grip-shift for me anyway.

The one notable exception is my Ruger SR22 which has a Streamlight TLR4 on it. 

I should probably get a Walther PPS for it's lever-release too.
I promise not to duck.

"Normal speaking voice"?  Scout belted it out like a voice coach teaching projection at a community theatre as we were walking through the HK booth.  One of the suits cranked his head around and glared at us like we had smeared feces on the MP5 display.

I had a good time too. Glad we met up.
