Any CCW people here?

Tobacco and Booze are revenue streams, not sure why firearms where bunched up with those two.

Because two propogated the the third.

KCDitto, that's funny as heck!

I carry a Smith and Wesson MP9 shield with night sights and a barrel import.

Easily portable and very accurate. I carry one 8 round mag, and I have two 7 round mags on the hip.

Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms should be a convenience store not a government agency   

My buddy has that on a t-shirt, good stuff!

Maybe they can find a better home for the TSA too?

That would be nice. I handle explosives at least once a year as part of my job. Went and did a demolition range a few weeks before holiday leave last year, and brought the gloves I was wearing in my backpack. Got pulled over for the random check as usual, crap! Was expecting some trouble from them swabbing the gloves, but then I thought.. hey dude, it's cool if you swab everything, but please don't swab the gloves. He of course asked why.. told him I work with explosives.. and he kinda just set the gloves aside after giving me a look, swabbed the bag, and on I went.

I love their potential explosives disposal method too. I think a comic said it once, let's put all these potential bombs in garbage cans with all the other potential bombs in the area of the airport that's most crowded with people... brilliant!

But aside from that, ATF as an organization does seem pretty redundant when you see all that the FBI and DEA do. Wonder what will happen with that.

Let's start a separate thread for that though, please.

My Uncle was ATF for years before he passed. That was back when it was still ATF and had not changed to ATFE.

I said that?
