I am leaving. Goodbye.

[Ae35]

Scoundrel, I haven't been on here long and don't know you, don't post much, I read the new posts, except for the politics ones everyday. I understand your leaving, wish you could stay, your words of wisdom will be missed , at least by me. Here's wishing you far winds and following seas ! Rick

jfootin...you expecting company?

I am leaving. Goodbye.

I know I don't post very often, but I read just about every thread. Scoundrel, I'm sorry the tone of the forum has had a negative affect on you and I wish you well. With that said, I totally agree with what many of the other members have said regarding the current state of affairs in the US. If we as a country continue to ignore the many issues we are facing and the constant removal of our constitutional rights we will certainly be encountering some really bad times. It's not just about our 2nd amendment right either, there is so much more that needs to change in order for those changes to happen we need to talk to openly about the issues. Sorry for the semi rant. Carry on...

Scoundrel will be back. After 1K posts, you need the Kahrtalk fix at least every other day.Its a sickness. Hell I was out of the country and pissed off when I tried to log in but the IP addy was blocked. I will try a work around this with John before my next sortie. After all gun guys spread the love all over the world.

At last a remake of "Taxi Driver" staring Jfootin.

I've been lacking appreciation of the negative slant for a while, but occasionally participate anyway. It's really like we know what he is by what he does. Whatever we say isn't going to have any effect so more and more I'm opting to just not reply.

I'm pretty much with you, Lincoln. Anyone who's been here for a few months knows how I feel about the current political situation, so I seldom reply to the anti post. Except, of course, when the subject is the loss of rights and not about an individual.

JFootin...you expecting company?

LOL! No, I'm not expecting anyone. Just playing (carefully) with my toys.

It is good to practice drawing and reholstering with the holsters in their normal position, especially behind the hip where you don't want to have to be searching for your gun or holster.

Now, come on. I know some of you dress up like this at times. I recall pictures of Barth with two guns and several double stack mags mounted on his belt. And I see pictures of huge collections of guns, mags, knives, holsters and ammo carriers. Surely you guys occasionally arm yourself with a nice selection at the house.

Oh, that reminds me. I also clip my Gerber Fast Draw assisted opening knife at the back corner of my right front jeans pocket. A perfect EDC knife, IMO, and about $25 shipped.



I don't have 6 or 12 EDC knives. The Gerber meets my needs for a folder, and the Cold Steel Roach Belly meets my needs for a non-folder. I really like the shape and size of it. And it came incredibly sharp - sharper than any razor blade! And can be purchased for < $10 including a nice nylon sheath.



Again, I COULD carry my entire arsenal on me at one time, which makes it a pretty modest one, IMO. Each piece serves a unique and important role that is not duplicated. If one piece, or even two, is/are out of commission, I am not totally disarmed. But I don't have so many pieces that I could throw them like rocks at someone and stone them to death, either! :7:

I take my constitutional rights and carrying for self protection very seriously. But I enjoy gun ownership as a hobby, as well.

Tinman, you now know what and why the police think about their duty belts. At first the first question that gets asked is how Batman keeps his crap straight.

I really hesitated chiming in here. Especially since this was supposedly Scoundrel's final post without recourse.

It's what i imagine finding a suicide note would be like. A person is deeply angry about many things and decides to end it and leaves a final angry note about their anger. It may cleanse their soul to say those things but it leaves the survivors shaken, searching for answers, questioning their own behavior, and blaming themselves but in the end it is simply a passive aggressive way to lash out one final time with no fear of rebuttal. In a way (and I mean no ill directly to Scoundrel) it is a bit cowardly.

Perhaps it is good for a community to periodically step back and do a self inspection. Perhaps we can find things to change or do differently. Each of us are the only ones who can answer that. Should this behavior change be legislated by the owners? No, that is a personal decision we each need to make.

This forum was at one time completely apolitical and that was fine for the times. But as things in this country changed, the admins and mods wisely allowed it to seek it's own level and become what we are today. I appreciate that a lot. It is a place where I can vent my frustrations and expose my "smart-ass". I also am a member of a few other forums but this is the one I frequent every day. It fills a need that I have.

We are on uncharted territory in this country with daily assaults on our God-given rights. Being able to vent and report on those assaults is a very healthy thing. Let's face it, being able to verbalize a feeling and receive feedback (positive or negative) is a very good thing. It keeps us balanced and hopefully on course. Of course we're going to upset some folks. Everyone of us comes from a different place with different life experiences. It is what makes us a great nation. The ability to express your opinion without fear of reprisal is the first of our God-given rights. I truly hope this forum is allowed to continue to seek it's own level.

While I do not agree with every post on KahrTalk, I do value most of them. The ones I cannot accept, I simply ignore, disregard and move on.

Should Scoundrel decide to come back, I would welcome that. Would I necessarily agree with everything he says? I doubt it, but it does have value. Would I choose to argue with him? Maybe, likely not.

I honestly would hope he finds the strength and courage to return and continue to share his version of the truth and affect whatever personality this forum takes on.

Chris (tinman)

Tinman,
I urge you to go back to your George Costanza avatar. Your posts just don't read the same when I see them under Thomas Jefferson. They seem to lose a certain neurotic appeal
(not that there's anything wrong with that)

[jocko]

indeed ur so right. I miss that avitar. We all know Tinman aqin't no thomas jefferson. I think R. Regan said sumpin like that to some looser in a debate.

we want George, we wqant George, we want George. Just sayin

Often I don't understand a stated position but I respect it. Sometimes an activity is about the friends and relationships part of the activity not only the content. As a new forum member I have found the participants on this forum to ask good questions and others have provided good answers and advice. I have had to step back from a favored activity on occasion and find a new appreciation for it when I "come" back again. Best wishes to all for the upcoming week.

[getsome]

Wow man, I hate to hear Scoundrel is leaving, hope it wasn't me, I've really been taking regular baths, brushing both teeth and everything....Seriously I can understand how the gloom and doom can get you down and it does get a little stale but this is a gun site and most of us are right wing conservative politically in our views and extremely passionate about our guns and our constitutional rights the current administration is working so diligently to strip away from us with all their power and it just stands to reason we are mad about it and need to vent from time to time...

I very much appreciate the mods letting us to continue to have political conversations about this subject and with this being a firearms web site with mostly consertative members it's bound to happen that a few fireworks are going to happen once in a while but that's a good thing and if we all thought and believed the exact same way there wouldn't be much interesting to talk about....

I love guns and talking about them and even will post a little in the political threads but what really keeps me coming back here is the people I consider to be my friends...I like to cut up and read some jokes while poking fun and getting poked back at in a friendly fun way and it just makes my day more fun and interesting....An example is Bawanna talking about Jfootin going all Taxi Driver as Travis Bickle while posing in the mirror "You talkin to me???" (yes I've done it too) just cracked me up and then scrolling down to Tinman's Batman Belt picture really made me spit coffee on my keyboard....THAT's the Kahrtalk I know and love!!!!....I've been here a long time and this place to me is so MUCH more than an internet talk site, it's like family to me and I really mean it when I say there's no place like home and I think of Kahrtalk as my second home and my cyber friends here as my second family...

The day when I signed on and found out that Detrich had died felt just like a brother had passed away to me, I cried and I'm not ashamed of that and I still miss him to this day even though I had never met him before in my life....When another long time member here got his guns stolen in a burglary we as a group with Bawanna's help came together and took up a collection for him....Another long time member was going through a divorce and was having a tough time of things and needed to vent and we were all here to offer support and comfort....This is real stuff and this is a very SPECIAL and unique place we have here and you can look far and wide and never find another like it anywhere...Kahrtalk is the "Cheers" of web sites and I would think long and hard before walking away just because of some political crap.....

Scoundrel if you're still listening we all hope you will reconsider and come back...Maybe take a little break and give it a rest but I think I speak for the whole crazy bunch here when I say you and your opinions were valued here and added much to this site and if you decide not to return you WILL be missed....

P.S. Michelle really does have a big ass any way you look at it!!!...

[Bawanna]

I'm not ashamed to admit I'm bawling my eyes out getsome. I luv you man.

The part about the ass being big no matter how you look at it just tore my tear ducts wide open.
