I agree with Bauer;I have been keeping an eye on this thread, and found it very interesting. Sometimes the truth is ugly, but it is what it is. Saying this thread is "a disservice to legitimate gun owners everywhere" is absurd. Burying your head in the sand because something is unpalatable to you wont make it go away.

I would like to thank the posters who actually had some first hand experiences with Col. Askins for giving their side of the story. Good stuff
