SANTA Report

[The Reaper]

Give it up.

What did you get?

Especially if it was weapons or speed related.

Santa left me a beautiful Nightforce NXS 3.5-15X with the NPR-2 reticle.

Thanks for the help, Wes at MSTN!

When I got the box, I said, "This is the biggest Toblerone bar I have ever seen." You have to have seen an NXS box to get the joke.

Hope that Santa was equally generous to all of you.

Merry Christmas all!

bottle of Jim Beam at the company Christmas party, along with a set of Old Fashioned glasses, provided by the other token Southerner in the office (seems she was provided an alleged Mint Julep made with Canadian whisky during the Kentucky Derby and wanted to make sure i would not commit such a fox paw...)

bottle of Balvenie Doublewood 12 year old Scotch from the guys in my department...

Elite Forces by Richard M. Bennett...the book appears to be an encyclopedic description of various special ops units throughout history and in various countries....

a book on the Donner Party, which give me pause regarding the upcoming holiday meal at the in-laws (Donner Pass is on the way there),

and some jin-you-wine German haus schuh...

good year for booze, but lacking in gun powder and accessories for motorcycles...:D

[Peregrino]

A new mid-length carbine upper and a TA31F (thanks for the tip SeanBaker) to go on top of it. Already tested the upper but I'll have to wait for the Trijicon. Seems they're behind on deliveries and it won't ship until tomorrow(?).:( Peregrino

Get the CCW and you don't have to wait, IIRC.

[Kyobanim]

I've got to prove proficiency to get the CCW in Seminole county, according to the Sherriff here.

I've waited 20 years to get back into it. I can wait a few more days.

TS, couldn't find a USP 40 that I could afford. They are hard to come by around here.

The State of Florida accepts proof of military service in lieu or a course, IIRC.

Cool! I'll be checking into that tomorrow.

[The Reaper]

Cool! I'll be checking into that tomorrow.

Looks like a hunting safety course or DD214 will suffice:

"790.06 License to Carry Concealed Weapon or Firearm.

1. Completion of any hunter education or hunter safety course approved by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or a similar agency of another state;

Greetings Sir, Svedka? I, IMHO, have a belief that it is an aquired taste. I always seeem to sneeze when drinking it, however, my favorite is Kettle One. Anyway, I do not want to pose a hijack. :o

Merry Christmas, x SF med,

Just a bunch of stuff to help keep warm (its cold out here in Kosovo) and a PSP to help pass the down time.

[Buffalobob]

Seems like my 35 year old field jacket has gotten too small and I hate to ruin Goretex hunting so Santa brought me a new M-65 in woodland camo. It is XL-long just in case it decides to get too small too.

LaRue ACOG mount, Tango Down rail covers.

I also got a Tactical Tailor 3 day pack, using some cash I received. My color was on sale for 40% off, I could not resist!:D
