If I'm drinking cheap beer it's Yuengling or PBR.

I listen to talk radio 99.7 out of Nashville Tn . On sundays from 6pm till 8 is Dr. Josh Axe. He states that if you are getting enough raw vegetables and meats and all then no shot is needed. I have been on a diet since november and I have lost 60lbs . I eat raw foods and whole foods and even use honey for my allergies. I havent gotten sick since ! If you take care of your body and treat it right then it will take care of itself and you . I have quit the fast food and pizza and all highly refined foods and grains and sugary drinks like Coke and sweet tea. It has been great ! I went from 42 in the waist to 36 in the waist.

I cannot carry at work. Anytime I'm not working I am armed.

I got some great news today after loosing my job last Friday. I was doing some side work for a customer today and I get a call from the Blount Co Sheriff's Dept. The detective asks if I am the one who's case they worked on alomost 2 years ago (we were robbed). I said yes its me and my case. He procedes to tell me that the Clinton police contacted them and said they recoverd one of my guns stolen back in Jan 2011. He asked a few questions about the insurance situation and all went well. Now I just need to contact the insurance co and see what I have to do to buy it back. Now if they can find the other 4 guns I'd be one happy camper. This recovery makes 2 that they have found for me. Im sure in time the rest will show up.

My wife is considered "high risk" for breast cancer because of family history. I really do appreciate the attention that she is given, but also understand the amount of resources that are dedicated to these individuals. After working extensively with a "cancer bank", I think that the resource focus to because this is among the few cancers, that if detected early enough, where the success rate is high.

You can cut off a handful of colon and still have plenty left over to get the job done. Doesn't work the same for bewbs.

If its horse manure then why does every manufacturer trying to get business private or military contract demonstrate that their gun will cycle after being submerged in mud, sand, water ect??? The M&P commercial on tv shows them doing that. H&K constantly does that with their prototype battle rifles. When I chose to side with the AR crowd, I heard the same argument fro the AK crowd. AND they were right. In a dirt and debris test, AK beats all comers. I think 1911 owners are funny. You don't see Glock or M&P owners getting hurt when others hate them. They just smile and nod. Say one word about the precious and people come crawling out of the wood work to lay i on you. Too funny.

There are plenty of people who plan on bugging out and I have always wondered where they plan on going. Most of them say they plan to head to the hills which is a huge problem because there are already people in those hills living there right now. And those people are going to defend their location or at least I know I will. And don't expect others to openly welcome a large group of people. I know I won't welcome anyone unless they bring a significant skill to the group and honestly I can't imagine what that skill might be that isn't already covered. There are less than 5 people that will be invited in and all others will be turned away with an overwhelming amount of force. I will say this to all of those planning on bugging out to the hills. I will defend what is mine, including land, from any squatters or looters. After all if you show up and try to take what isn't yours you are a thief. That includes wild game, plants or anything on my property even if I do not need it or not using it that stuff is still mine. I may have more than I need to survive but I will not share any of it with complete strangers. I have made preparations to ensure my survivability and I would be a fool to give any of it up to complete strangers. It takes a lot of land to support a person year around. An acre or two isn't going to cut it. It will likely take 10's of acres per person. A person should never rely on someone else when it comes to their survival. No one is going to care more about you than you. And what makes the average person think they are going to make it ouf of a population center before the other 50% of the other people leaving the cities clog the roadways? What is going to happen is the highways are going to clog like Rita/ Katrina leaving leaving them stranded and with the option of walking to the "hills" or walking back to the cities. And when you start walking you are going to be able to carry far less than what you left with or even left behind. Bugging in has some real advantages and if I lived in a city I would, without a doubt, stay put. First is you already have everything you are going to have without the need to transport it to a new location. You can call for help from those around you while in a remote location you cannot call for help. Another big advantage is you know the area. You also know who friend and who foe is or at least have a good idea. Travelling exposes you to more dangers. It is also easier to defend a building or high rise than a tent in the woods.Those buildings are going to protect you from the elements and be easier to keep warm in and survive in for the average person especially those used to living in the city. Food, at least initially, will be easier to come by in the cities as well as potable water. There are literally a few weeks worth of potable water in your water heater and toilet bowls and that is if you don't ration. With rain gutters, collecting water is much easier too. And as disgusting as it might sound cities have tons of rodents that can be harvested for food. If any type of relief or supplies is handed out it is going to be in the population centers first. The average person is going to have a far easier time surviving in the city than in the "hills". But if you must bug out and have any hope of bugging out you must be packed and ready to go in a moments notice. Vehicles have to ALWAYS have the gas needed to make it to that location. When the SHTF gas will be gone within minutes unless you are at the pumps pumping your gas as it takes place. You need to also realize that there are going to be a lot more people than just you heading to a bug out location. This is going to clog the roadways like we saw during Rita/Katrina. The only way you might get a head start is if you are in a position to get some notice, like LE, emergency services or the government would get to prepare. Otherwise it is going to be a race to get out and if you are not in the lead you will find yourself stuck in the rear. And once you are stuck you and your stuff become vulnerable to roaming bands of thugs set on taking your stuff for themselves. And honestly it would be easy pickings. As far as your bug out location you need to own the property you plan to go to. This can give you a little bit of a delay in the squatters that will show up. And once there the squatters are not going to readily leave even if you tell them you own the property. If your bug out location is "public lands" you are not going to be the first there, it will be like winning the lottery if you are. You are going to find yourself surrounded by thousands of others who have the same plan. Most people don't realize that best case scenario crops will be edible in 4 months. If it happened today we are looking at close to a year before crops can begin to be harvested. So that means you are going to have to transport that much food because you are not going to be able to kill a years worth of food with everyone else trying to do the same thing. And as much as I hate to say it in order to survive people must loose their conscience and compassion. They must be willing to turn those less fortunate away unless they bring a substantial advantage to the group. People have this grand illusion that they are going to be able to find virgin land to live off of. Look around, how much public land do you see? And of that how much is going to be free for the taking, not much if any, by the time they make it? Dolomite

Doesn't matter if ammo or anything else, they should have sent what you ordered or notified you of a better deal. They should make it good! Howdy and Welcome to TGO

I' d like to go in the next week or two. Maybe I could pick you up and a few of us from Clarksvegas could make the trip? I think someone should arrange a TGO day at the new facility! Dave S

Until 911 dispatch gets a teleportation machine and can zap a SWAT team over, there will be fighting shooting when someone threatens us.

I think the October surprise will be that Michele will promote a new line of burqa's for school age girls on the premise that it reduces skin cancer and fosters a more moral learning envirionment. O and they'll be sleeveless.

Yep, me too. I've seen some things he's done on personal level for folks. Makes even crusty old fart like me go oh wow. - OS

<-------this guy. Every time I travel to a new state I get excited about trying the local craft beers. I'm in Texas today.

well.. no.. lol... But we spoil him.. food (homecooked organic ).. a movie.. maybe a little shopping.. he might need a new belt or a pair of jeans... or something nice to take back on Base...he is our only child so yes.. he does get a bit spoiled.. I want to make sure he remembers who was nice to him when we get old..lol..

Yeah your right now that I think about it

He has also helped me out with the best prices in the state. He is also a great guy on a personal level. I rarely endorse anyone but he is someone I can endorse whole heartedly. You will not find a more honest and honorable man than David. I have know him for at least 6 years and every single transaction has been outstanding. If you need something and can't find it get a hold of him. He is able to aquire stuff that it seems like no one else can. His prices are hard to beat also, like 8 pound jugs of powder for $90 or less. He is also going to be one of the few people left with primers over the next 6 months so you better get them now.

David is a supe rnice guy and if ANYONE ever says different they are going to have words with me..

Yes, see above. Eat right (REALLY right, not Lean Cuisine). Wash your hands. Keep your hands out of your face when you're out in public. And just in case, go see your PCP and get a scrip for Tamiflu. Because if you come down with the flu, it will be on a weekend when Dr. offices are closed and your only option will be the ER. I've never had a flu shot. I've had the flu maybe 3 or 4 times in my life, including early childhood. I'll sometimes come down with something that feels flu-like, but not nearly as severe. Someone above described it well. You'll feel like you're dying for several days. Unless you have Tamiflu. That stuff is a miracle drug. Since I've been eating better (whole foods, avoid sugar and grains), I haven't been sick except for what must have been food poisoning a few months ago. That was awful. No colds or flu for a couple years, knock on wood. Will

State of the art gear is nice. With that said, their location is a huge deal for me. I have a shooting buddy that has already signed up for a membership. We have been trying to get together for a year. Now, there's a great range that's 10 minutes from the office. It's a LOT easier to schedule a 1 1/2 hour shooting session at a range that has flexible hours. Nothing against any of the other ranges. I just make it by the 100 Oaks area a lot. I'll probably buy a membership too.

It worked for the Kennedys.

No kidding? That's a nice touch.

I like the 'like'. Even works with Tapatalk!

We'll be going somewhere and my wife will ask me? Why do you need a gun when we're only going here? My reply is... I may know where we're going... but what are we coming home to? Even though we have an alarm system at the house... you never know what's waiting for you in the dark. We live in a pretty safe neighborhood, but... I'm sure most victims felt the same way.

Wonder what criminals would say if you asked them if they would like to see legalization of drugs?

I agree, and if you take away the biggest source of income for organized crime... and they aren't leaving anything on the table today, what happens? Organized crime takes a hit and gets smaller. This is what we saw after the end of prohibition, organized crime got smaller.

"Police said they don’t recommend victims fighting back." So we're supposed to just stand there and take it? Not if I have any chance at all. What do you call a person without a gun? Victim.

It's been there for about two weeks. It's an alternative to the "reputation points" system that we had a while back.

I NEVER clean my bore unless I see accuracy fall off. I am of the opinion that there is more damage done to a gun by excessive cleaning than by normal shooting. I have a 223 barrel that has to have 600 rounds through it without cleaning and it will still shoot sub .5" groups at 100 yards using handloads. That is a Savage with a factory Savage barrel which are known for copper fouling. My primary AR, until I recently tore it down, has had an untold amount of rounds through it without cleaning. I know it had no less than 15K rimfire rounds through it and thousands of 223 rounds through it without cleaning. And until I tore it down it was still shooting 1" groups at 100 yard with ammo it liked. Never clean a rimfire, ever, unless it is having reliability issues. I have a dedicated AR that has at least 5K through it without cleaning. I might squirt some lube on the rails from time to time but that is about it. I have a 10/22 that has been shot regularly for the last 7 years without ever being cleaned. Something else about rimfires. The bullets use lube and that lube, believe it not, protects the bore during long term storage. That is why most rimfires that look like hell on the outside have nice bores. And if you remove that lube then corrosion can set in. For my pistols I pull part of a copper scrub pad through the bore to get rid of any leading there might be. I do this a couple of times and then I am done. I rarely have any lead issues. Never clean a bore from the muzzle, always from the breech. If you can't use a rod to clean from the breech then use a bore snake. Never use SS brushes as they are as hard as, if not harder, than the bore of most rifles so they can scratch the bore. I like boresnakes and they are great but be mindful they can get embedded with crud. I normally use mine for a year or so then replace it. I normally put solvent on the bore snake itself. A little solvent of choice before and after the brush then a little bit of oil on the last part of the snake. That way it cleans and then leaves a film of oil on the bore. When I use a rod I will take a bore mop and run it up and down the bore with solvent. Let it set for a few minutes then use a bronze brush and scrub it probably 10-15 times. Then take a solvent coated patch and push everything out. Then use dry patches until they come out clean. Then a patch with a little bit of oil. That is when I do clean, which is rarely. Dolomite

About a year ago, I bought my saiga 7.62. It arrived looking like this. Then, after a few months. I did the basic conversion. Which turned it into this. And just today, about 30 mns ago to be exact, I finished up my rifle by doing a front end conversion using an authentic izmash gas tube, CSS lower handguard retainer, and an Arsenal handguard set, which transformed it to this. So im glad to finally say Im 100% done with it. Kinda sad though, I really enjoyed working on it. HMMM, maybe ill start another!!

When are these media slime balls going to give it up? Already about 30 homicides in Chicago this month alone and they're all over this story. RIP to those who lost their lives. Not to the shooter though, he can burn in hell. http://news.yahoo.com/police-minn-office-shooter-among-several-dead-010359263.html

I carry every day except while at work (company prohibited). So I carry alternative defense items on the job.

I carry everyday, but not because I think I will ever need it. I seriously doubt I ever will. When I took the class and applied for my permit I had no intention of carrying everyday, but after I got my license in the mail that all changed.

I love stories like this, especially when it's a female. I taught my daughter, wife, both sisters, a few co-workers, and several friends to shoot. The privilege was all mine every time, especially when you see their face light up. When they've listened and put some effort into it, it shows and I LOVE to see the pride on their face when they roll up a couple of good targets to take home and brag about. ...you just can't beat it!

I look at it. If it's just dirty, I don't clean it. If it's got noticeable build-up, I'll spray it with CLP and reevaluate. If it's still cruddy, I'll run a few solvent patches through it and check it again. Only if there's still noticeable fouling do I break out the brushes and really scrub it. Experience says it takes hundreds of rounds for it to get that dirty. Once it's clean to my satisfaction, I'll run an oiled patch through it. I'm a firm believer that more guns get worn out from obsessive cleaning than obsessive shooting.

One has to be careful about the funeral home they select.

Yes they got the date wrong. The actual end of the world is Tuesday, November 6, 2012, when Obama is reelected.

I'm gonna carry Speer gold dots one way or another. Either Glock 21 .45 or Kahr CM9 9mm.
