Excercising ALL your rights

I saw a link via Say Uncle pointing to this post, 'Never agree to police search'.  I mentioned in my last post, I strive to stay right by the law and I'm also in Washington D.C. where I have no right to defend myself with a handgun, despite area violence being routine.  So I'm thinking about rights tonight I suppose.  Some highly suggested videos after the jump and commentary.

Why Glock?

I saw a post on ENDO today that caught my attention.  James Yeager was on youtube giving his opinion that all guns should be Glock 19's, and 1911's are crap.  Check it out and discussion on ENDO here.  I'm not defending Yeager, he has done some questionable things in the past, but must admit the man does have some experience despite presenting it in a terrible fashion.  I have to pick a side and agree that for my own reasons Glock is my choice platform.

My current weapons

You might think that being a Armorer and weapons enthusiast that I would likely have a small arsenal at my disposal.  Not true.  I am working to get together a wider set of weapons for fun and defensive purposes.  Mostly for fun.  I enjoy my time on the range and it does wonders to relieve stress.  Also my range time outside of the military is what makes me a consistently better shot than many of my peers.  I'd like to have a little something for every situation eventually.   What I do have at present sometimes seems to shock people.

Upgrading the home theater system...

One of my long standing goals has been to update my entertainment area to something I could enjoy for some years to come.  Liking items that are nice and well made sometimes conflicts with living on a budget with little disposable income.  I have to play the long-game to get the things I want.  I resisted getting a flat screen TV for many years.  I had a JVC 38" (?) second-hand TV that I picked up for $120 about 8 years ago.  I finally set my sights on a Samsung 46" 240hz LCD back in 2008(?) and got it on a windfall.  So far I am VERY happy with it, but a it was time to finish and upgrade the receiver and surround sound.  I don't have the money for super-high end, but wanted something better than the offerings at Wal-Mart...

Firsties...

So.  Here it begins.  Why?  Because I just had a surgery put me down longer than I've ever been down and I've been kicking the idea of writing a little around in my head and just haven't committed to doing it yet.  What do I hope to accomplish?  Nothing major, just a place to commit some thoughts, and maybe push my own ideas from my head into reality.  Maybe reader's will relate, maybe learn a thing or two, or maybe I'll get offered advice to save time and trouble.  Time will tell.
