Great catch Stevie!.......over on another forum we were too busy wondering if that dangling strap was his military grade tactical sling or if his dog got loose and ran off on him LOL!

The dude defiantly has a a lot of WTF's? going on that's for sure. Looks like he's got a mag in his hand, but yet doesn't really look like he's in the process of changing mags or anything, just kind'a carrying it for some reason. Also looks like some sort of long knife on his right side. Dunno what he thought he was gonna need that for, the whole bring a knife to a gun fight I guess lol

Fortunately in the end none of that "military grade"( the media loves to use that term)gear did him any good.

Gotta love the "military grade" term they like to use. In the media's eyes "Military Grade" = (anything black in color)

Hey!....my fishtanks have black framing,guess that puts me in possession of mil grade aquariums.

I'm wearing my military grade shoes. I think they're actually Chinese copies of army shoes.
Does that still count?

I don't own any "military-type" weapons. Just some WW2 relics of my Dad's service. No firearms though. I do own target rifles and cowboy guns.

But enough about that! I just filled my first acrylic aquarium, and it is running.
Now I need to drain it a bit. My stand has a bit of crown in the back or the tank does. It's got a couple 0.024 plastic shims under the back corners right now, with 70 gals of water in it.

Felix watches in envy . . .
