My youngest son and I own and operate Big Bore Clothes. He's at a gun show in the greater Cleveland area this weekend selling our product. You can look at our stuff at www.bigboreclothes.com.

The story behind the “Molon Labe” logo is straight from the history books.
In August, 480 BC, at the mountain pass at Thermopylae, Greece two armies faced each other in the blistering Mediterranean heat. The Spartans, from the Greek City-State of Sparta, were lead by King Leonidas. Accompanied by 300 of his personal bodyguards who, along with soldiers from the other Greek City-States they formed an army of about 7,000. The majority of the Spartan army was then occupied with a naval battle against the Persians.
They faced an army of more than 100,000 Persian soldiers lead by Xerxes I, King of Persia who were invading from the north. After a four day standoff the Persians attacked. On the seventh day of the battle, Persian forces, led by a Greek traitor, succeeded in a flanking maneuver. King Leonidas sent the surviving Greek troops back to protect their homes and remained with his bodyguards and about 1,600 Thespians and Helots to face the remaining Persian soldiers.
Xerxes sent word to Leonidas that, if the Spartans surrendered their weapons, they would be spared. Leonidas’ reply to this proposition was “Molon Labe” (pronounced “moo-lone lah-veh”) which translates roughly as “come and get them”.
The next attack came from two fronts and the surrounded Spartans were slaughtered to a man. Only some Thebans who surrendered were spared.
A popular fictionalized account of this battle was depicted in the 2006 movie “300”.
We have chosen the plumed battle helmet of the Spartan warriors as our symbol of resistance against continuing threats against the rights guaranteed all Americans in the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.
The “Molon Labe” motto is used today by the Greek Army’s First Corps.
The forum won't allow a foreign alphabet (or, more likely, I can't figure out how to do it, so I used the English alphabet.
The caps feature the "new" Greek alphabet and the shirt feature the "old" alphabet.

SWEET! Now I'm jealous! I can't see to shoot anymore so I have had to switch to a combat shotgun for defense at home.

I just bought an XPS3-0 EO Tech. I can't wait to use it this spring!

I bought it from US Cav but it's photographed wrong. Here's what it really looks like: http://dynamicarmament.com/items/mounts-optics-sights~scopes/eotech-optics/eotech-xps3-0-holographic-weapon-sight-night-vision-detail.htm

I've been wanting one for a long time. I finally got a CCMG internal piston flat top upper a few weeks ago, and topped it off with the EO Tech. It really looks nice!
