[bmbutch]

I’ll take 4

The url on the coin says "INgunowners" but the site moved to "indianagunowners".

I guess it's not a problem if you're automatically redirected from one to another?

Just tried it, it does auto redirect.

Ball marker! Especially when you're golfing with anti-gun snowflakes, and you could use a little edge.

Is it the coiled snake or the "Don't Tread on Me" that puts you on the double secret probationary watch list? Asking for a friend.

Where to begin... challenge coins started in the Military, from what I understand it was with Special Operations units in Vietnam. Unwritten rule: if you've ever been presented a coin, you are required to carry it. Most folks (myself included) who carry coins carry one that really means something to them.

Here's the coin I carry:





I've carried this coin since December 1993.

Coin check? Somebody starts tapping their coin on the bar. Somebody doesn't have their coin? They buy. Everyone has a coin? The challenger buys the round.

There is no giant database of every coin presented to everyone. No one knows who has a coin and who doesn't. But it's a thing.

Coins became more common in the Military late 90s and exploded after 9/11. I have a bunch of coins. The ones that were presented to me mean something, the one in the picture was from my days in Korea and it means a lot.

Thank you for the explanation. I guess I've lived a sheltered life, as I had never heard of it.

Also, very discouraging. It means I'll have to start drinking again and hang out with my INGO friends at the bar. I don't know how to break it to the wife.
