"It is through being wounded that power grows and can, in the end, become tremendous" - Nietzsche

Range Nazi's and disorganized matches. The weather can't be helped. Equipment problems always suck, but a poorly run match by a bunch of dickheads, I can not tolerate.

If you're really worried about it, check with HR and review the company's conduct code. Regardless of how you conduct yourself, if this guy wants to make trouble for you, there are plenty of lawyers willing to twist the truth into something "inappropriate" with you as their prime target.

I had just left NYC. I was there helping my brother move. I saw the WTC for the first and only time just a few days before the attack.

Same here.

They are both on this forum. You could just send them a PM. I made an inquiry once via PM to Dave, and he responded right away. Bob is also very approachable.

It's no advantage for them at their level.

No. Carry guns have absolutely no place in IDPA competitions.

I consider TGO above the law. If he does it, then it's ok with me.

I'm trying to be a good boy so I deleted my 1050 comments. Obviously, I'm not a fan of the machine.

We're getting close! Our pre-flight meeting is on 9/11 and we head to DC on the 14th. I'm not sure what to expect, but I know it's going to be cool.

He and Wynton do a duo type thing at a Blues House I saw on youtube that was pretty cool.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate it. You guys are the best!

He's a pretty good trumpet player as well.

Last year of my thirties! Thanks guys.

nice work.

You're going to have some MD's allow it, some won't. If you're going to shoot that gun at a match, get one of those rubber wrap around grips when you run into the MD that won't allow this frame mod.

Good luck to Dave in whatever avenue he pursues. A true champion and gentleman.

A few of my favorites: "Repetition is no fun until its the reason we won!" Billy Joe Brockhouse "Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful." John Wooden "The name on the front of the jersey is alot more important than the name on the back". "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." Michael Jordan "If you ask me how I want to be remembered, it is as a winner. You know what a winner is? A winner is somebody who has given his best effort, who has tried the hardest they possibly can, who has utilized every ounce of energy and strength within them to accomplish something. It doesn't mean that they accomplished it or failed, it means that they've given it their best. That's a winner." Walter Payton "Beware the fury of a patient man." "we did not lose that game......we ran out of time." "Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." I think Theodore Roosevelt said this. "The expert in anything was once a beginner." "The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses—behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights." Muhammad Ali "The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
