Or people are finally starting to run out of money/just got their credit card statement from last month. 

Your friend needs to file a complaint with the Police department. They were 100% wrong about the round in the chamber. And I have never heard of a police officer running a s/n without probable cause. Where and when did this happen and what police department?

I'm sure they make small talk, just like most talk shows during a break. Probably goes something like this: Ted: "So, Peirs, I hear you have a vagina where most men have a penis."

Check this out  What a story!!!!                   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pqFyKh-rUI&feature=player_detailpage            

--There are some sick bastards supporting him on twitter     And I want it 100% clear that I do not support him, he lost all that by killing.  I just wonder.... what happened here, really.

Bullet holes in the windshield right at the driver, and especially the ones in the back of the truck... I hope those cops get fired and put in jail, and the police department goes bankrupt from lawsuits. I'm all for supporting the police in almost every manner, but bullet holes in the back of a truck? He obviously wasn't trying to get out or run them over.. And hope they get exactly what a civilian would get if they were randomly shooting people that posed no threat.

I guess vehicle manufacturers had better take note.  If someone kills someone else intentionally with a Chevy, 0bama Motors might get sued.

Having lived most of my life in Fl, I think they are using this as justification to go fishing for much bigger things.  Stop someone, find faulty equipment,license, etc.  Then it is game on, Any guns?,any drugs?, mind if I look in your trunk?

I don't think this would ever survive all the court challenges it would face. I still believe the ultimate goal of the libs right now is the universal background checks, hence, hidden gun registry. All these ridiculous proposals are meant as smoke screens to make the background checks look like the lesser of the evils.

Does this mean I can sue Revere Ware for making the forks that made me fat?

For hundreds of years we have had weapons, now all of a sudden, some politician gets their panties in a wad and wants to tax me under the guise of calling it 'insurance' (where have I heard this before) because why? Have guns become so much more violent in the last 7 weeks? Is insurance magical?  Will it prevent criminals from committing crimes because they will fear their premiums will go up?    If the government thugs make everyone get liability insurance I promise you, every family member of every little punk killed in the commission of a crime will find some way to work the system and sue the victim.

I hope they get him before he kills anymore anybody.  It would really be awesome if an armed citizen were to stop him.   In regards to his manifesto, who needs an iPod?  Who needs an iPhone?  Who needs steak?  Bologna is good enough.  Who needs toilet paper?  There are leaves.  Who "needs" oxygen?  The list of stupidity goes on.

So my wife and I decided to do a little metal detecting. We were in an area that probably hasn't had a lot of people shooting in it for a very long time. During out adventures I got a blip about something small about 6" down. As she dug she found an unfired 22 that was at least 4" in the soil. It was pretty well packed soil so the round had been buried for quite some time. It was on the side of a hill that I frequented as a kid, some 35 years ago. Not saying the round was 35 years old but it was under 4+ inches of soil so it wasn't placed there yesterday. Here is the picture as found: I was able to determine it was a Federal. I have no clue why the tip was like that though. The lead did have white corrosion. So the next thing that pops into my head is I wonder if it will fire? I grab my Taurus PT22 because I could care less if the bore gets scratched. I chamber it, which was hard becuse of the dirt and corrosion, and I pull the trigger. BANG!!! Although it didn't extract it did in fact go off which I do find this pretty amazing. Dolomite

You could have sold that round for at least five bucks in the walmart parking lot. :rofl:

You should send your testimonial to Federal with a pitch for an ad campaign.  Maybe they'll send you some free stuff. 

  This ^^^^^   I placed multiple orders for .223/5.56 with them at around 10:15pm on Nov. 6th (if that tells you anything), and I have now received every one of them, two just last week (FedEx - left on doorstep - no signature required).  They will fulfill backorders by date, not newer orders.  They are very reputable and their customer service is excellent.

4th Amendment. I don't suppose I'd decline an officer if he asked to run my numbers, but doing it without consent while at the same time not having PC to think it's stolen doesn't pass the sniff test. That would be like a cop seeing me on a cell phone and demanding I hand it over so he can run the IMEI number to determine if it is stolen. Total BS.

Yeah, but regular folks get a by for being ignorant. Someone who is enforcing the law needs to know better. I would have corrected those officers if they said such a thing. I can only imagine they would disagree with me and be forced to take me to jail when I re chamber a round. I'm not sure what my recourse would be for being arrested for breaking a law that doesn't exist, but I'm not going to be dictated the law from someone who doesn't even know it.

Thats no different than the authority of any other police agency. 

Bet that stuff would cure skid marks forever.

My 3 year-old son's clothes need this treatment ASAP!  :P

  You don't need to apologize for being European like Piers any more than I need to for being an American like Obama, Frank, Pelosi, etc. 

Ok, I'm sure most of you here have already heard of or read AUD, but I hadn't until a week or so ago when I posted about "Ruth's Story."   The Adrian Ring story caught me up in it pretty quickly and held on tightly. I just finished it this morning. Got into the last three months of enteries about 10 last night. And though I should have gone to bed, I stayed up and finished them all.   It was worth the loss of sleep. I really liked thestoryline, and the premise of the creation of the zombie was well done. At least in my opinion.   Makes more sense to me than the virus theory. But that's just my take on it   Ok, won't spoil it for anyone else and discuss the story too much. I'll just say I like it very much and let anyone interested go at it for themselves.

  For the same reason I don't consent to a cop searching through my sock drawer. Because I don't have to and he/she has no good reason to.

I never said I wouldn't. Whether or not I would isn't the point though. I don't want my public servants breaking the law any more than the citizens they serve.

I finally put my ultralight spinning rig together over the holidays. My mom gave me a much nicer reel than I would have ever bought myself. You better believe I'm bringing it when we go.

This is going on everything I own....   [youtube]http://youtu.be/IPM8OR6W6WE[/youtube]   I've seen hydrophobic products in the past, but nothing to this extent. Awesome stuff!

I hope they get him before the LAPD shoots any more innocent bystanders.  :stunned:

  The problem is patience, most people don't have any.  Courtesy is #2.   Microwave user:  "Hurry up dang it,  I don't have all minute!"

Or let's make sure they can never escape paying the bills unless they are truly poor (and not just living off the government because that's easier than getting a job) even if it takes decades.     When you get right down to it, one of our major problems we have as a country is too many people being irresponsible.   Everybody KNOWS or at least should know they should have health care insurance...that they should carry liability and other coverages on their car, home, etc. but a lot of people don't.  Sometimes they can't (or believe they can't) afford it but while that's certainly going to be true for some people, I would suggest it's more often a matter of priorities. No one, including me, enjoys paying for insurance..of course we'd all rather buy that new Glock or that 60" LED TV or that new car, etc. etc. but when we buy those things, and can't then afford the insurance coverages we need then we ARE being irresponsible because ANYONE can cause harm to another person and if that happens, we should do all we can to make that injured person whole again, at least to the extent possible; Just blowing it off as "their bad luck" is pretty callous to say the least. For most of us, making someone we've injured whole again means carrying the right kinds of insurance in the right amounts.   People can yell and scream about how they shouldn't be "required" to buy insurance just to exercise their rights...I tend to agree with that.  At the same time, if most people were taking responsibility for themselves they would likely already have such coverage.

If you sum up this "study" it says that criminals are more likely to die. Really? What a friggin' breakthrough they have there. Their next study will probably tell us that water is wet. 

I don't consent to anything more than I am legally and morally obligated to. I have great respect for local law enforcement and will assist them if I have knowledge that will help them solve a real crime. I will not assist an officer in a fishing expedition. The officer can either have PC that he can defend in front of a judge (because he will have to) or he can fuck off and go do his job and let me get on with my day.

It's like a mini ACR. Suddenly assault class! You must be a mad man. *hides kids*

:rofl: It's for real, and they're already sold out @ $35 each http://noveskerifleworks.com/cgi-bin/imcart/display.cgi?item_id=hammer&cat&page=1&search&since=45&status&title

  Just a few quick random thoughts,   You're talking pre 1968 with the mail order stuff, so only us older timers are gonna have input.   I'm in the generation where half the pickup trucks in the high school parking lot had a rifle or shotgun in the window rack, and probably most guns were bought at the local hardware store. All the boys had pocket knives and I can remember playing mumblypeg (root the peg) during grammar school recess. Used my own rifle in Boy Scouts to get the Marksmanship merit badge, and two of our scoutmasters would bring along both rifles and handguns on some camp outs for everyone to shoot, etc.   Didn't have to be 21 to buy a handgun before '68 either, only 18.   If you look back, most all these major gun acts were precipitated by the actions of just a few criminals that shocked the sensibility of the public.   Capone and other famous hoods in the '30s, Oswald and Sirhan and Ray in the 60's, Chapman and Hinckley in the 80's, etc.   What seems to be new for the most part  is the switch of the impetus stemming from precisely targeted public figure victims to dispassionate random mass killings, Columbine,  VaTech, Ft. Hood, Aurora, Sandy Hook.   - OS

  Yes! Please... dress nicely. Remember the last rally? The only one-person picture that showed up in the Tennessean was of a guy open-carrying wearing a black t-shirt with full "sleeve" tatoos. Worse, he obviously posed for the picture. Don't let the media take advantage of you. I would urge everyone not to open carry, wear camo, or dress like the aforementioned person. The media are not your friends. 

I voted for Paul in the primary although there are many policies I don't agree with, but that is true of any candidate. So there is a degree of support for Paul in terms of his ideals. However, his comments being separate from that show an insensitive, disrespectful and vindictive personality trait. It is clear what his intentions were with that comment. If there is any doubt, that last line should remove such doubt; where he says that it doesn't make sense to treat PTSD on the range. Pretty much saying the guy is a dummy while somehow connecting his service record in Iraq and Afghanistan to his demise (re: "live by the sword, die by the sword"). It isn't the fault of our servicemen where they are sent or the missions they are expected to conduct. That is up to our leadership in Washington. His comments make it clear that he is projecting his disdain for those in Washington responsible for perpetrating the war onto my fellow veterans who have ZERO control over where they are sent or what they are tasked to do. For these reasons I hope that Ron Paul slips and falls into a feces filled toilet and drowns on excrement, so that his corpse may be one with what Ron Paul's memory will be. A pile of human sh**.

Back in 2008 I thought that Hillary would have been worse on us than Barry, but now I'm not so sure. Gun control issues aside, Obama has been on a crusade to sink US business since he took office. I don't believe Hillary would have been this bad.

And if a turd falls from an airplane and kills you you're SOL. That's life.

Got on a range once with a recently assembled bolt from my parts box. Couldn't figure out why I had a single shot rifle. No gas rings on the bolt.... a very goober moment.

I almost feel guilty. I got one and shot about 100 rounds yesterday. Accurate little sucker! And a great trigger.

If this kid got suspended for that, I would have been a certified looney.   I can remember watching Commando on the old VHS, wearing my laser tag vest and strapping on every toy uzi, squirt gun, plastic grenade and rubber survival knife I had. I was so loaded to the teeth I couldn't move! We'd organize like 30 kids in the neighborhood (girls included) and play war with POW camps and everything. Our parents were just happy we were outside for petes sake!

we used to shoot plastic army men into the sky with 5 or 6 bottle rockets attached or blow them up with m80s

I'll just say it ...   It looks like a Penis & Balls  :up:

I'm changing Rosa Parks Blvd to Curvy Road. Sadly this crap is happening so much its not surprising anymore.

Well, in the ditz's defense, the judge did appear to be in a joking mood up until she said "adios". Even the way he said "good-bye" was kinda loose.

I love when threads I start lead to good discussions.

The majority of Americans could care less if the government tramples on the Constitution as long as they have their Starbucks and 100 channels on their big screens. It's very discouraging.

I am sorry to be a fellow European ... We are not all like that ...........   He is a tool.

Almost none of them have been law for more than 30 years, which is how long it took to challenge the first handgun ban :)  Also, virtually any case law will be pre-McDonald so it was a challenge against the state constitution not in federal court.   For example here in TN, a state law requiring the state to perform a background check is clearly unconstitutional because our state constitution only allows the legislature to regulate the wearing of firearms, not the purchasing of firearms.  Many states don't have this restriction in their constitution.   Either way, we're at the start of the gun civil rights movement, just in the last 5 years we've had more positive case law than in the last 70 or 80 before that...  It's going to take us a generation to peel back all the bad laws that have been passed, if the republic stands that long.
