I have this little sound effect from the video game "Army Men: Air Attack 2" play in my head. I used to play it a bit, now my fifteen year old plays it now and again.

In the game, you basically fly around shooting other plastic army toys, vehicles and such. There are items you can pick up, and whenever you pick something up, there's an audio clip of a guy saying what it is.

Some of those items are plastic, and when you pick one up, that guy says "Plastic!". So every time one of you writes 'plastic' in reference to a CHL, and I read it, some portion of my consciousness deems it necessary to play a little memory-audio-clip of that guy saying "Plastic!".

I have posted this thread in the (likely vain) hope that someone else has played this game at some point in their lives, will remember that audio clip, and I won't be alone in my torment.

I do like your signature line.

Chas.

Thanks. I really wish I could find the original quote/source for it, I've seen it stated on a couple of different message boards but have been unable to find an attribution.

(I think I also read the same sentiment in a different thread on this board as "you can have a gun, or an ego" - possibly the 'three things' thread in 'New to CHL')

I didnt see you signiture line right away until Chas mention it. That is SOO true!!! That was taught in our class & also common sense.
About the "Plastic" I dont know why they call it that but it sounds cool so I call it that too.
Carry Safely, Carry Plastic!!!!

I don't really have any objection to anyone calling a CHL 'plastic', I actually kind of like it, I just think it's funny that whenever I read it (technically not really whenever, I was exaggerating for effect) I remember the sound of that guy saying that. :)

The part of my CHL class notes that has the largest letters is the 'No Ego' I wrote when our instructor was going over attitude, etc.

I read in other post on this forum where Attitude & Guns got a CHLer in a bad situation. As a CHL holder I want be of higher standards & Show the government the we are responsible & would like to hear more stories like were a CHL was used in a positive was as it is intended.
Back to you Subject!!! Plastic sounds cheap. Lets call it "Polymar"

Kudos!

RE sig line:
I'm not by any means a hot tempered person, but my wife will tell you that I'm much more likely to keep my mouth shut and mind my own business when I carry.
In short the wife believes I'm a much nicer person when I carry and doesn't let me leave the house without asking if I'm wearing my attitude adjuster (my attitude - not others).
