Thanks for replying, Mike. I wish someone from the sports media would take up your cause. The thugs that run the Olympic games are low-lifes of the worst kind. A bunch of European royalty and other "nobles" who have jumped on the gravy train and don't want to get off.

F 'em all.

Thanks for taking the time to share your story.

Mike that was a great read. I'm glad you took the time to post it. Sadly from many other stories I've read it seems like this BS is pretty common practice.

Thank you for the story Mike, it was interesting and frankly appalling to hear the garbage you went through. I'm glad you stayed tough throughout, and didn't give up when most would.

As for Mike's character, for me, it was never in question. I was in Deware during those years, and saw the man. Good dude, no question. That's why I went to him for my CHL, and firearms since I heard it was him that opened up Champion. He and his wife are great people, make no mistake about that.

Glad you came back to BCS Mike.

I've wondered what the details of your story was Mike. Thanks for sharing.

Now I gotta save up to get another gun from you.

Thanks for sharing this story Mike. I had read snippets of this over time and really wanted to know the whole story. To get it straight from you is a treasure and really shows the power of texags. Screw SI, we Ags have Billy and the rest of the gang here.

I hope to see you in a few months to get an SA 1911A1 Loaded in Black Stainless.

Wow. Just wow. Amazing story Mike.

Dang, that's quite the threadbump!

Don't think I ever saw this thread. Thank for the bump. Great to go back and read Mike's story.

My college roommate. Small world.
