I got this gem this morning.  Some of you may remember the ad in question that we deleted.   [quote]I was grossly mistreated due to pricing concerns about 3 weeks ago by TGO Actual David. He deleted my listings and suspended my account over pricing on some AR mags. I was extremely upset with TGO more than you can imagine that a site like this would try to dictate pricing in a free economy. I received all kinds of nasty posts and people calling me names and so on. I also still have "warning points" on my account and a bad rep on the forum over this. I now see the pricing policy was reverted because it was not fair or appropriate for TGO to tell me what I can charge for MY items. I would like an apology from David and TGO for the way I was treated as well as removal of the warning points from my account.[/quote]     Normally I don't make it a habit of sharing private correspondences but it's absolutely my prerogative to do so as I'm 1/2 of the conversation and the person did pretty much demand action be taken.  So this is my action and it'll be a cold day in Hell before I apologize for deleting the original posting of two Magpul PMags for $250.   The policy shift was not an acknowledgment that this guy was right.  It was an acknowledgement that the Staff here does not stand a reasonable chance of ensuring that no ads designed to GOUGE our members slip through unnoticed and an acknowledgement that the members should be left to decide what is reasonable and what is not by voting with their wallets.   But sending a report to me, demanding that I sit myself down and have a stern come to Jesus talk with myself and force myself to apologize probably will not yield the desired result.  I know myself pretty well and I'm fairly certain that I can say with authority that I won't be agreeable to those terms any more than the members here will be agreeable to the idea of paying $250 for two $15 PMags just because there's a shortage of them at the moment.   Maybe I'm wrong about that.  Maybe someone will.  Really don't care!  But I know I'm right about the fact that TGO David won't be making any apologies for deleting that thread or issuing much deserved warning points.   I know the guy pretty well and he's doesn't work like that.   :hat:  

This is so great, I can't tell you how great I think it is, it's so great. :) Lots of blurbs on the web here and there, but nowhere better than this in American Rifleman, so I just scanned the thing. And the priceless part is that Rahm "DeadFish" Emanuel had to sign some of the checks personally!! (click on pic to expand to full size to read it): - OS

Did you see if they had any scissors?  :ugh:

http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2013/01/31/170700177/should-gun-owners-have-to-buy-liability-insurance A friend of mine who is self-admittedly riding the fence on the current gun control efforts sent this story to me.  My response to her was this:     Curious what other people thought.  

I have quick access to a large stapler at work but it holds more than 10 staples. Is that legal for self defense? Would that be considered an assault stapler?

Of course owning a gun puts you automatically at higher risk for a gun related accident than someone who doesn't own one. That's like saying that I'm more at risk for a lawnmower accident than someone who lives in an apartment. However, lawnmowers aren't covered in the Constitution. The mere mention of a requirement of liability insurance in order to possess a firearm should be met with a "you're a effing moron look" and walk away because the person lacks basic reasoning skills.

:screwy: If only they could take away my rifle, that would not have happened :screwy:

With this administration I have learned while watching this hand (The AWB), what is the other hand doing (Amnesty For Illegal Aliens). I don't think even mighty O thinks he can get the AWB past the house or at least I hope not. Seems to me while we are focused on the 2nd he is pushing for 11-20 million new democrat voters. Stay all over congress about the 2nd, but if you oppose amnesty watch the other hand. I feel like we are being played.

With all the bad stuff going on, we could all use a pep talk: http://youtu.be/l-gQLqv9f4o ...unless your dream is stupid. Then you need a better dream.

  Have to apply for a class III permit to carry those.

Although it may be smart to do so to CYA I don't think in any way that it should be mandatory.  If people who own guns are required to buy insurance then people that own hammers or knives should be required to as well.  This is nothing more than a proposal from a bunch of scared, uneducated gun grabbers who are trying to control us.

  Not to mention amnesty for illegals.    I'm really shocked that our esteemed Senators from Tennessee didn't make the list.  :rofl:

  LOL, I read that wrong the first time.   I've ordered once from them and was very pleased with the entire transaction.  Even got some good swag in the box.

use a cpa you will be glad you did in the long run

Good God, PBR has become "fashionable"? This was its rep all my life:     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3iVHxP8FQ   - OS

  Hickock45's still got some good years left in him!

So you'd order from him again?

  Doesn't matter until we fix the "media" problem.

You could have pictures of him taking the money, with marked bills, and it will be of no consequence.  We celebrate our Democrat criminals in congress, e.g. Charles Rangel.

I just picked up my S&W M&P-10 today and decided to do an unboxing/review video for you guys seeing as there really aren't any videos on it out there yet.......let me know what you guys think!     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlvkVVaqB5Y

  Almost as decent as his response was right before he signed the law in Knoxville to ban guns from their parks. He can keep his decent. I'll keep my rights. 

Maybe the "F-Troop" thing should now be Fail-Troop, because they failed big time.

The "BSer" in chief is full of more crap than a Christmas turkey. He wouldn't know which end to look in............... Smile, wait for flash.  :rofl: 

Ted Cruz is a friggin' Rock Star! 

Turbotax.    I see no reason to pay someone else to do what takes me an hour.

 It says if you like FB you'll love TPC, well I don't like FB.   Thanks, but I'll stay in my shell.  :)

...and again yesterday and today.

These seem to come in stock at PSA every few days. Good to see, even if they are still selling out really fast.

It's like cars. They all get you for point A to point B. Fewer people have the cars that cost more. Naturally, people want what they don't have. While no one really wants what they or everyone else can have.   But I agree, it's not a hobby unless it get expensive. At least that's how all my hobbies have been

As they say....  I'd like to have 1 of each, 2 of some, 3 of a few...

From the article: "They may not be doing anything but walking their dog," he said. "But they're going to have to prove it." Haha, I'm not one to get confrontational with police, but if I was told to prove that my intentions were legal and just when I'm out walking the dog it is going to end with me in handcuffs and a bankrupt PD after I get done gutting them with my lawyer. Seriously, there are PDs having to cut back all across the country and I keep seeing stories of police chiefs putting up "sue me" billboards.

This is the dilemma. All solutions are required to be solved by politicians. How do you make a program non-political when politicians are responsible for implementing it?

Laws don't necessarily work if a large number of the victims refuse to comply. They can make examples, but they can't enforce it. Watching New York closely right now.

No, it is the rules not to step on a sales ad. O I WANT TO SOME TIMES, but I dont. David, you should give your self 10 points, but I have not heard of "good" points. It is your forum, we are guests in your house.

If you gave yourself a temporary ban, just think of the increased work load you'd have.  For the duration of that suspension, you'd have do, not only your normal amount of chores around here, but you'd have to pick up the slack for yourself as well.  That's just too much to ask of anyone.     Be careful not to hyperextend any tendons or muscles as you raise your right fist and extend your middle finger, David.  

If I'm not mistaken the group behind the Govenor were police chiefs.

I love that song, almost as much as I love my PBR.

Henson Ong at Gun Violence Prevention Public Hearing - Hartford, CT   The best parts are at 3:45 and his closing statement at 4:26       http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NyYYgLzF6zU

I totally agree. I wish that elections weren't decided by who has the most money. Congress was meant to be comprised of normal citizens who go to Washington for a few years then return to their career. Not by career politicians who have never held a real job. P.S. Community Organizer doesn't count.

Indicted Businessman Names Harry Reid as Alleged Recipient of Massive Bribe http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/01/12/indicted-businessman-names-harry-reid-as-alleged-recipient-of-massive-bribe/ Time for harry to step down so someone else can have power. Hope a Libertarian replaces him! :up:

A number of pro gun bills have been introduced in TN. We may find out soon enough how Governor Haslam feels about 2nd Amendment rights. Hopefully these bills move swiftly to his desk. Action speaks louder than words but his letter sounded pretty good.

Did he mention any specific additional infringement for which he would not vote ?   Of course not.   All the antis say they support 2A too.   - OS

Glad to have you, Pat. By the way, our schedule is changing slightly. Instead of every other Tuesday, we will have matches on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. So, our next match which would have been on Feb 5 will now be on Feb 12. And, FYI I will be out of town on business that week, so I am ironing out who will be the match directors for the evening. Cheers, -DP

Thanks for posting this.  Very interestin in that it appears to take a side (...the right one...). That bein said; I always worry about two things; ... the first is..."todays truth is tomorrow's lie..."; and bring non committal.  I'm no fan of Lamar Alexander, but i will give him credit for doin the right thing at this particular instant; always rememberin that tomorrow is another day.  Let's hope he actually believes and will act on what he says here.   Thanks again for posting this. leroy

Nice but why are there not more, many more on the list?

Gah! You've broken my comment down like a CNN headline.   All I'm saying is that God, country and self growth are at the core of scouting. That's what it should be and nothing more. Scout leaders are there to be role models for those values. Your personal lifestyle/sexual preferences shouldn't make an appearance.   A good example: I was speaking with an assistant scoutmaster not long ago who discovered one of his boys showing pictures of a partially clothed woman on his phone. He put a stop to it and had a talk with the childs parents about the behavior. This, to me, is a firm example of holding children to morals.   Was it wrong for the child to be interested in women? No not at all.  Does it have any place in the Scouts? Absolutely not, it's our responsiblity as role models to help hold the children to higher standards.

For an investment, I'd buy a Colt. For using, I'd buy a Rock Island, and a BUNCH of ammo.

Haha it was about 200 lbs. Had about 1 1/2" of fat on it. Not a monster but good eating size. The tenderloins were huge!
