Thinking I may break down and finally get something in 9mm

[hobowh]

hoot what you like if you can try one before you buy to make sure you like it before you fork out the cash.

I would do this more for my kids then myself. But then again Iw ant them to shoot real calibers like 45ACP, which my 2 oldest do and the middle son is starting to get the hang of it as he is getting older.

I bought my son his first handgun this past January. I asked him what he wanted and he told me he wanted a 1911, so that's what I got him, a Rock Island Armory .45ACP 1911 (Hey, if the kid wants a Colt or a Kimber he can front the money for it himself - dear old dad ain't made of dough!)
Of course, he's only 17 so he can't officially own a handgun, but one day it will officially be his.

Didn't see anyone from Hollywood join up for GWOT. Might be a b-lister or two. Maybe even a real star, but name one?

Okay, so he wasn't "Hollywood", but he was a celebrity who served, giving up a contract for $3.6 million for the GWOT. Who? You may remember NFL Arizona Cardinal Pat Tillman manned up and served in the Army as a Ranger. Pat gave his life for the cause - by friendly fire. Additionally, his brother, Kevin, who was a minor league baseball player joined up and served with him.

What about Elvis?

Blasphemy!!!! Hang your head in shame you!

Let me guess.....Chuck is god?

Not a chance. I could care less about Chuck. I just dont idolize some film actor that would rather put his film career over the needs of this country and then be buried with FUCKING SAND FROM IWO JIMA. Fucking bullshit. My Dad, USMC 66-72 will probably not be buried with the Sand from Iwo Jima. Yet my Father actually served in a real capacity over that douche. Along with millions of others since WWII and during WWII who will not be buried with Sand from Iwo.Also like antoher member said, Pat Tillman. Army Ranger KIA by friendly fire and gave up a $3.6 million contract to serve his country. #43 on the Arizona Cards.

Never saw John enlist in the mil during WWII. I dont give a damn that he never shot that. He was shooting blanks in all his movies anyways. Pansy for notjoining and worrying about his career in the movie industry instead of enlisting.

That's because He was 34 y/o at the beginning of WWII, with a bad knee,, wasn't so much Him, but the gub'ment that declared Him 4-f.. And, frankly I think He did more for the war effort by making movies than He would have done in a front line unit..

I'm well aware of Tillmans sacrifice. It is very moving. But he was no Hollyweird actor!..........So no one? Didn't think so.

Get your damn 9 and quite bashing Americas icons!

I can think of a few that have volenteered in other ways,, Bruce Willis,
Gary Sinese,Drew cary and Robert Davi come to mind,, They have done a great deal to support the troops. But, actual combat,,,No...

WWII there were plenty of them, Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable were Fying missions over the ETO.. Granted Clark only did a few. But, He was there.. David Niven was riding a Destroyer, protecting convoys..

Are you really that butt hurt that someone doesnt like or think highly of your childhood idol? Dont take it so personally. He did what he did to further his career and even in later life regretted not ever joining. So he was basically selfish when many other hollywood celebs joined.

[Irving]

WHAT ABOUT ELVIS?!

He didn't actually see any combat though right?

Resist the urge and stick to your original promise to yourself. Or go ahead and get all sally'd up and get a 9mm. Didn't ever see John Wayne shoot'n a 9 did you? Stay in the man club!

I seen him shoot a mac 10 in that movie McQue. And I think he liked it. Nothing wrong with a 9mm. Its cheaper to shoot sometimes and just as much fun.
