I want an olive drab or subdued "As Seen On TV" patch so bad to put on my helmet. All I can find is bright red and white. I only have olive drab US flags and an O+ patch on my gear. Another one that would be good would be "No Soup For You!"

Quote HistoryQuoted: They're like $4-$8 typically (I don't think I've ever paid more than $10 myself), with some being $10-$20, but at that point you're just paying a seller's premium, and yes, patch collecting is fun. You do realize most patch collectors aren't actually walking around with a vest covered in them every time they go to wal-mart, right?  Usually I'll throw one on a backpack, and occasionally someone will catch me on the street, and say "oh hey I know where that's from, that's cool!" or whatever, and we get to talking about related interests. Making friends and having fun, pretty wholesome in my book.  This is GD. Having fun. Talking to strangers. Not being an anti-social weirdo. We don't do that here. |

OP... I for one am glad to see more women, like you, getting into shooting. Mike is a weird name for a broad, though.
No one, who matters, gives a fuck what you decide to wear or not wear. There's pros and cons for all sorts of shit you may or may not choose to do. You make those calls, not the whims of has-beens or wish-they-would-haves. Not even the still-doin-its get a say in what ever it is you may want to do. Weigh your options and do what comes out square in your own personal math. The only sensible argument in this thread is the whole being mindful of shit you wouldn't want a prosecutor to present at your trial for a legitimate self defense shooting. But, like I said, that's your call. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Don't wear anything on serious gear you don't want to see a prosecutor wave around in a courtroom. This is dead accurate. I wouldn't actually wear any out and about, but I admit I am a patch whore and I've got a couple of patch panels up on a wall. Some are mil/le service related, others were received at classes and others were given by manufacturers of gear/equipment, etc. I think they're cool and it's kind of like a look in the rear view to see where I've been and what I've done when I glance at the panels. And, again, I do admit I just think they're cool. It beats collecting thimbles, spoons or stamps IMO. |
