Love or hate the Glock, it changed small arms when it came out.

My father. He died a few hours ago after a very rapid decline in his health, basically two days from OK to hospital to gone. We had disagreements but he was a good man who did a lot for the family. I thought he would be around for a while longer and I wanted to have a few more good discussions with him. What can you do. Don't forget that people close to you can and will die, and sometimes it happens quick. Thanks Kiwis, stay strong.

Suck it Jon Leibowitz you pussy.
