A few years back as part of my Administration of Justice schedule in the local community college, in the Bay Area of California, I was required to take a firearms training class. Though most of the time we shot handguns, one of the reserve officers helping out was an AR-15 geek. He had an AR-15 pistol in 9mm with a sling. It was extremely fun to shoot IDF style though I am not sure I would personally plunk down the money for one. However, if you pushed out on the sling it really stabilized it and made it shoot-able. I also want to say that my username on Itunes is MapleSyrupSmuggler and that I submitted a review early on in the show and hope that that counts toward the drawing. My username for my picture that I submitted on flickr is MapleSyrupSmuggler as well. Keep up the good work! You can never have too much cowbell. JT in SoCal (jonny_black): Hi guys, I really enjoy listening to your show on my long work commutes. Its helps the long grind if I get to also listen to your podcast and learning about the AR in depth. Keep it going!!! I have a great show topic. How do other AR builders handle questions from the wife when they see part orders coming in. I keep getting the "Are you ordering anything else?!?!" from my wife and I have to keep coming up with creative responses that don't make me an all out liar... I completed my first build last month and have 3 more stripped lowers for future projects if and when my wife allows. Tom (From the People\'s republic of Illinois): Hey Guys. Excellent podcast. I listen every week. How about an episode on going full auto. I know tax stamps are expensive (probably about as expensive as feeding a full auto AR), but it would be fun to hear about the options. Please enter me in the BONE tool giveaway. Thanks, Badge 3625: I just heard the podcast, nice job and at the very end I think you made a reference to my CHiPs and DiPS post. Thanks, here's another: What\'s the difference between a cactus and a DPS Patrol car? Nothing, except the cactus has the pricks on the outside. You are doing a great job and especially with the gear stuff, I've spent too much money on crap. To be able to get a good gear review is great!
