As for Walmart, what you say is simply not true. Far to little of their merchandise is made in the USA but I guarantee you that some of, if just a little, it is.

wrong.

Try to get any product from start to finish and keep it American....you cant...
sooner or later, be it the the South American seeds to the coton, or the arab gas in the trucks, sooner or later everything in walmart is there due to other markets.....
Anyone who says they have a pure "AMERICAN MADE' product is just kidding himself...
Most of the newer parts in my Ford truck come from steel from some place else...I dont even think we make computers anymore in America...and computers run the shipping for the whole world....

Anyone seen MADE IN AMERICA on anything in Radio Shack lately?.....
Anyone tried to turn on a pure American made computer at their work?

If the defendant received a request to produce a specific document that could be held by another party,you could send opposing counsel an answer to his discovery request and state that defendant does not possess the responsive document but that plaintiff could get it from the government, and then your motion to compel would be a non-starter....

Telling someone to "git it yer damn self" in discovery is also a non-starter. Courts don't take kindly to parties delaying discover and causing the other side to run up their expenses because they want to be obstinate.:D

I missing something again. What allegations are you referring to?

From what I've seen, Mick never claimed to have possessed a firearm after his release.

We all know about the court document where he publicly recanted the combat/black ops stuff.

What has he said since then that are applicable to the Stolen Valor laws?

wow, i will remember that one for sure lol, speak for yourself, lol. imho he's a dork and he couldnt whip my mommie..

i wont even go into anything about mclung, imho his rep is pretty well known to all anyway, if he told me the sun was gonna rise in the morning i would go check it out at 6AM.

i will say i have been checking out BF for probably 8 yrs now and i dont recall ever seeing another thread like this one, one that grew so fast with so many views/posts, must say its something else.

well to the gist of things, i would say mick lied about a lot of things, and thats wrong to lie about military experiences and i for one dont know why folks do that, low self esteem?? i know my father saw as much action in WW2 as most anyone and he rarely, if ever spoke of his experiences, which is imho how the great majority of vets act in this regard, so no its not right.

now is this all news to me?? of course not most/if not all of this has been floating around for yrs now, dont suppose its ever been gathered up all in one spot though before. but really not a lot of news here, at least not to me.

will i sell all my striders now?? no. will i buy more?? possibly. would i want combat training by mick? no. would i want to learn to grind knives from him?? yes.

but really, all in all, its not a biggie to me, i dont have a dog in this race, its up to mick to defend himself, not me, and he aint gonna come here and do that so forget that. this isnt a court of law anyway.

its kinda funny all the anti MS folks complain that MS's folks are "coming here to cause trouble" etc, they are just as spitefull and mean and single minded as the MS defenders, i have seen posts of folks saying incredibly rude things to ira, who imho doesnt deserve that, and others too. and bashing other forums, calling them names, i dont think any other forum unanimously agrees with anyone about anything, they are just as divided on this as BF is, ya all need to remember that we are all knife collectors and show everyone a little respect anyway. this whole thing makes me feel dirty. and sad.

but spark's info is pretty solid, i dont think much of it can be argued, he lied about it, and thats that.

whats the repercussions for SKI?? i hope nothing too bad, there are lots of good folks working there, but ya cant help but think this isnt good pub, irregardless of the old "any pub is good pub", this is not good pub. i am sure this will hurt them.

i must try and make the next show, it'll be interesting to see how all these varied folks are gonna do in public together because there is plenty of hurt feelings and anger to go around i bet..

another chapter in "the days of our knives" lol.

"The Days of our Knives" I love it!!!!! LMAO :thumbup:

Thats the same question I have asked and asked ...

I know people say that this Strider guy claimed to be this or that type of Army guy...but when i asked to see some proof they just cant give that proof.

The posted text of the words of Strider just have not shown me that he has claimed anything so clearly that it would get people so upset.

I have been shown the phrase "heavy hitter" so many times i cant count, but what does it mean?
They cant answer that question,

I would like to see some proof.....
 
Im going to watch this topic over the next few days, and every poster that has a beef against Strider Im going to ask to see what this beef is based on?...

I want to see for myself...
I dont want to be linked to just another forum topic filled with more and more crap..
I dont want the old answer of, "Well someone said that someone else said..."

I want proof...

getting your rights to own firearms restored is close to impossible if ya have served probation/been to prison, just dont happen barring a presidential pardon, might have yrs ago, today? nope.

AND, even if you live in a state that automatically restores your right to vote, etc when you come off sanctions, there is normally a waiting period of at least 8-10 years before you can petition to have you firearms rights restored.

Specific allegations? That he's a combat vet. That he's been telling people he's a decorated combat vet at that.

As for the firearms claims:
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4353699&postcount=14

Either he's talking about handling firearms there, or he's such a big poser that he's just handling magazines, "throwables" and has a high speed CQB Operator rig just so he can look in the mirror. Picture of the his rig posted, of course. Complete with pistol magazines. And, of course, a holster for the pistol he can't carry.

Well one Ranger organization has already proven one allegation, Mick was in 2nd Bat.

What is the allegation?
where is the proof?

dude. it is blatantly obvious to nearly everyone on both sides of this argument that you don't understand what is going on. AT ALL.

Tell me, in your opinion, what was horned toad saying in his simple sentence?
 
SPARK...you sent me two links to look at,,,well, i looked and the first like was pointless.

i gained no more understanding of the problem than I had before.

HOWEVER the 2nd link was interesting, as this STRIDER person shows up and I got to read his posts for the first time.

I thought he handled the question of the knife with the flaw with style and class...

I felt he was right to defend his company and explane that the knife in question was never sold but rather was a free give-away.

I think I stated very clearly that Mick Strider was in the 2nd Batt. You'll note that the head of the organization also said that the rest of his story sounded like BS.
 
Mr Molstad. Either stop trolling the thread, or post constructively. If you have something specific to address, say so. If you continue to attempt to derail with such behavior you'll be asked to leave. You were asked to read those two threads because you couldn't be bothered to figure out who Cold Steel and Strider were. Now you are trying to sidetrack again. Last warning.

More bluster and nebulous BS from Mogadishu Mick.......making noises like he carries this and that when he "operates". He had BETTER ot be carrying ANYTHING. Did you guys know that possesing any ammo can be a violation too? Hope thoses M4 mags ween't loaded. lol. I AM surprised that his PO didn't supervise him a bit more closely from 98-01. I wonder how he was able to travel out of state so much, especially in his business. That would normally raise a red flag.

It is not obvious at all,,,if you believe that a charge has been made, then I would like to see what all this is about.

EXAMPLE:"Well one Ranger organization has already proven one allegation, Mick was in 2nd Bat."

To me this means that Mick has served his country in the 2nd bat.
and I got no problem with that at all, I never served, so I thank him for his service for us all, and Im sorry it didnt work out for him in the end...

In the first post, he mentions a SAW drum. That, to me, signifies that he was talking about the time he was in the military. I've only handled an M249 a few times in a civilian capacity, and I never set up a kit to carry drums.

In the second post, it again seems as if he is discussing military usage, reference by his verbage "down range", "M4's", and "the ability to hold 21 M4 mags". Nothing about that says ANYTHING about civilian, post-release usage.

Perhaps if his post said something like "I was at the range yesterday, shooting with my buddies" you would have a case. As of now, you're just speculating... and reaching.

He's already redacted his combat/decoration claims in a court of law. That allegation has already been settled in a legal fashion, and is over with.
