bah! just bat your eyelashes at Fraser and the lads, they may be tough guys, but they melt like butter when it comes to the ladies ;D


*raises hand* also guilty of that >.<


Well... as long as those ladies are behaving like ladies, that is!  When they behave like... something else... then they are generally treated like... something else.  :o


Well I'm good at eyelashes batting and although I like to have fun I like to think I'm on the right side of the lady line lol. So I think maybe ill be safe.



;D  We're harmless... sort of.... kinda... well, we're gentlemen at least... I think... maybe... well, on a good day we are.  ;)  Ok, ok, OK!  Insert the word "Rogues" after "Gentlemen" and you got it.  :D

I like a Schramms Ammo and Weapons up here. Nice folks, good prices, and large selection. Never have any grief getting what I need from them.

Hmmmm, i'll have to check them out... there's a new place called AGR Outdoors that'll get you either a Bushmater AR or a DPMS Sportical for $650... the owner is the son of the guy who owns Tomball Pawn.  I'm going to stop by and see what he can get me a 12ga coach gun for...

Yep... haven't had a chance to use one yet but give me some time.  I'd really like to lay my hands on some Frag-12 ammo.

Now there's a pretty little combo...  Not only can you blow up your target, but you can do it 100 times faster, and with hardly any recoil...  ::)  :D

Rani- one of the major things we have been trying to find- and have to drive all the freakin' way down near Corpus Christi to get, currently- is a training facility that will allow operators in and let us train OUR way. All of the lads (and one lass) on my team are military veterans, half of them are also LE (SWAT/ERT), and all of us have years of experience in executive protection, PSDs and force protection. The last thing we want is some gunstore cowboy lecturing us and trying to tell us how to do things. If we use CAR stance, its because it worked for us in Iraq and A-stan when doing room-clearing and convoy duty. If we have a tight double-stack, its because we got used to working in extremely tight quarters where CQB sometimes turned into hand-to-hand (freakin' active shooter on VBC last year was a nightmare, VERY tight spaces), and having a tight grouping gives us a much better defensive posture. We get really ticked off when some beergutted firearms "expert" (i.e., guy who works at a gun range/gun store who reads Shotgun News and Rifleman, but has never been in a real firefight his entire life, and his "expertise" is based on book-knowledge instead of real-world experience) or gunstore cowby (the former, but add a seriously arrogant and superior attitude and a propensity to lecture people in a condescending manner) steps into our training sessions and starts trying to give pointers, dictate how we should do things, or mock our techniques. If they will let us loose in the facility and stay out of our business, that would be a major boost.

Secondly, but related, is a blessed lack of chauvinism. Tiffaní is one of our operators, and as a former model who barely breaks the 5' mark, I cannot begin to tell you the crap she has dealt with at gun ranges and stores. Jim Pruett about got cold-cocked by her for an incident in his shop- Tiff asked to look at a Springfield XD40, and he popped off with a patronizing "Aww, lil lady, you don't need that, that's not the kind of gun for someone like you. Here, lemme show you something more your size" and breaks out this little .380 purse-warmer. She is a former MP and an operator (we met through Black Eagle where she was my partner) who has been under fire more times than half of HPD, outshoots SWAT members (she qualified Hawkeye twice with an M9 and M4), not some "lil lady" who needs a dinky pocket pistol. If they can respect the fact that our female operators are to be treated as operators, not dainty flowers, then we're good. Sorry for the rant, STILL irks me three years later.

Other than that, price :D

Thanks, Breandan... if she gets back to me (and, y'know, decides to use my design services... ;) ) I'll definitely make sure pass these suggestions on to her as points she might use in her advertising campaign.  I appreciate you taking the time to reply, btw...  :)

LOL  Well, with these guys it's not too difficult to stay on the right side... there's a pretty wide margin of what's considered "ladylike" at Faire!  ::)  :D 

Faire flirting can be LOTS of fun...  ;)

Well spoken . . . m'lady!    ;)


Well, I thank you, kindly... goode Sir!  *dimple*  ;)
