Dr. Rob is the man! I love the retro look. Lets make the mag look unique, somthing totally different. It can stand out with the design and not just the content. Think outside the box!
THE FIRING LINE, Dr. Rob! Give us something to get the idea straight. With the right design, we can use THE FIRING LINE even though it doesn't say 'gun'. Maybe a new logo is in order?? Something more arresting, and more obviously gun-related. - gabe |

I'm going to weigh in with "The Firing Line". It's got sufficient eye catch, especially considering the usual fare on the cover. If you notice too, it's had a universal appeal here which means something. At the very least it's got a track record, unlike any other selection you might make.

I would have to say "The Firing Line" is the way to go! The magazine and the site should match up. TFL all the way!

Am I the only one that doesn't think that it should be called "The Firing Line"? It would be cheesy to match the site and mag up like that. There;s nothing wrong with linking the mag site and TFL to each other but the magazine already has it's own site. Why two TFL's??? Makes no sense to me at all...
What's wrong with an original name unique and complimentary to the magazine's content/intent? Anyway, it's a CONTEST, not a vote or poll. The first guy that posted "TFL" as his suggestion has taken that entry. R6

I have to agree with 2nd Amendment on "The Firing Line" title. I love this forum, but it is somewhat different than the focus and ideals of the magazine. It also does not present an idea of what the magazine is about or catch attention.(Having said that, I would prefer it to SWAT and would snap up the mag in a heartbeat if I personally saw that title. I just don't know about the average gun user or LEO.)
I think we should include a list of "buzz words" that might convey the ideals of the magazine. Things like: "GUNS, WEAPONS, TACTICS, TACTICAL, FIREARMS, Law Enforcement, Personal Protection, Modern, Professional, Armed, Citizen, Advanced, Practical." We could also make a list of Buzz words to avoid that don't apply to this magazine. Like: Sport, Arsenal, Warrior, Covert, Rosie... you get the idea. The lists should represent what Rich has in mind for the mag, not what we have in mind, so we would just be making suggestions. A list from Rich after some suggestions from us may be useful in finding a title, as well as understanding his ideals for the magazine. One more idea before I go: "Practical Tactical" (I'm actually geting paid while I think of these Yes, I will keep my day job) |

Rich hates me, so I know he won't use any of these, regardless of how good they are..
1) Queer for GUNS
2) GUN RAG 3) WATS 4) TWAS 5) The Journal of Hoplophilia 6) The Citizen 7) Guns, Guns, and more Guns, and other cool stuff too. and the best of all: Louis Awerbuck Fan Magazine |

Um.. re "Cooper eating his hat" its an old line I said months ago regarding his 'scout concept'.
As for the return of Kodiac.. we haven't had a good rant in a while George. And for your information I'm not on any sort of meds. Then again maybe I should be. And hey that was the meanest looking pic of me with a rifle, so i used it. i'm so out of firearms pics I need to go take some more. Morgan? what are you doing this week? Coinneach?

How about:
