I'm sure there are many keys to Todd's success, but it seems to me there are a few that are more crucial than the others:
- Embrace personality traits that make people hate you...and also those personality traits that make people who get along with you wonder why they don't hate you.
- Get Reed Knight's cell number.
- Develop the idea to talk a gun company into giving you a free gun and an obscene amount of ammo...while thinking all the while that they are somehow coming out on the better end of the deal.
- Attempt to capture important publicity photos using your obscenely expensive camera...but do it without the memory card in the camera.
- Walk around on a daily basis with a gun pointing at your nuts.
As for shooting ability, I have a theory about the loss of bits of anatomy and the impact it has on performance. Todd's a pretty good shooter and he's down a kidney. Lance Armstrong is a pretty good cyclist and he's down a testicle. Coincidence? I think not.

For one, you know you're on the right path if you know who Jeff Cooper is at least.

That was a smacking.

Those are the most key of the keys.
Somebody who didn't ditch class to go to the range would easily be able to grasp that.

This guy's a third of the way there: Man accused of stealing panties at open houses (http://www.wauwatosanow.com/news/85037257.html)
Those are the most key of the keys.
No no no. You have to do it in iambic pentameter...
The keys that are the most important keys
Shall be the ones we list right here as these:
* Some people hate your personality.
* Poor Kevin suffers from your text to Reed.
* You get free stuff and screw a company.
* Forget the cards your cameras truly need.
* Important bits get muzzled by your gun.
Iambic poems are a lot of fun!

Yeah. Then I'd shoot like you. Pass.
Mommy wouldn't let us have toy guns growing up because she thought we would want real guns as adults.
My mom tried that. We used to use sticks and our fingers as guns. My stubborn Great Grandma went out and bought me and my brother our first toy guns. Plastic uzi's that made a noise when you pulled the trigger. God bless G Grandmas :D.
Ignore John Wayne - highly slanted - the highest level is sneaking guns in the house, having a secret PO box for your secret credit card, etc.
Also keeps the wife happy.
That said, if it could be a career - wow. How do you do that!

Well, it was until I keyed it in the parking garage.

Jealousy of JW7777's truly magnificent muttonchops is an ugly thing.
So Todd, what was that first gun you purchased?

Taurus PT-99. The 99 is the adjustable sight version. The rear sight fell off not once, not twice, but three times. On the third trip back to Taurus I insisted the gun get replaced with a fixed sight version, and since I'd paid extra for the now useless adj sights, I insisted they replace it with a sparkly stainless steel model. I then immediately sold the gun and bought my first real pistol, an HK USP40. :cool:

You have to gain the respect of your peers and Todd has done a very good job at doing that.

That was my first centerfire pistol. My Dad actually had to sign the paperwork for me because I was under 21. His remark when we left the gun store was "Glad you can afford these toys so I can play with them." :D
It is the gun that I learned that not all are created "the same as." The gunshop said it was the same as the Beretta, only less $$. :rolleyes:
I never had any issues with mine but I didn't shoot much back then. Maybe 3000 rounds until I traded it for $100 and a Colt Gold Cup.
MarshallDodge,
You traded a Taurus PT-99 for $100 and a Colt Gold Cup?
I think you got the better end of that deal!

Quite often the most overlooked of plans...

WSJ reports millionaires are disappearing from Maryland because of the high taxes on the rich. I wonder if this applies to Todd?
heck its not just Todd G, there's lots of people on here with Uber-Kewl work assignments...
Stickman could look like Danny Devito and still be the most envied person on the planet, short of whoever is sleeping with Megan Fox :cool:

Yes, I think I did as well but he had to have the Taurus. It was just after the Clinton ban and I had two 15 round magazines for it.
I still have the Gold Cup(a 70 series) and he has since moved on to Glocks.....even though he rarely shoots them.

yeah i'd love to get a gun related job that doesn't involve anyone returning fire...
i've also heard megan fox is a headache to date. would be worth it for a fling though :D

it seems like doing anything firearms related in the northeast would be a pain in the ass... i mean just crossing state lines with handguns out there can easily lead to headaches. gotta say i'm glad i left NY and came to a free state.
