People that pick up a shooters brass without asking before he leaves should be banned from the range. It’s not bad manners its theft.

Carlos Ray Norris is 73 today......and he can still kick your a~~! Happy birthday Chuck.

Saturday morning after golf I lucked out and was able to buy several cases of ammo. On the way home, I stopped at the gas station where a drop-dead gorgeous blonde was filling up her car at the next pump. She looked at the ammo in the back of my car and said in a very sexy voice, "I'm a big believer in barter, big boy". "Would you be interested in trading sex for ammo?"                     I thought about it for a few seconds and asked, "What kinda ammo ya got?"   Found it on Saiga 12, posted by Cobra, makes a good adapter for putting a choke on your S12.

Here's my 9YO daughter working on grip and trigger squeeze today.  Pretty soon gonna dial in her breathing and sight picture, but she's picking up very quickly!   Photo redacted.....don't want to leave it up endlessly.

You've seen those rich tycoons that light cigars with hundred dollar bills. Well I now know how they must feel. With such pretty weather this afternoon I indulged myself and did a little plinking with a .22 rifle and a pistol. I shot off mite near 200 rounds. Man was it grand. There's nothing better than livin' large. I can only imagine how the peasants live. Sic. .... back to beans and rice tomorrow.

There are a lot of hunters and recreational shooters that go along with some of the restrictions true anti-gunners are proposing, like private back checks and mag caps. They say they support the second amendment, but I believe it's more that they are not against it. Folks like the Giffords affirm that the people have a right to keep and bear arms, but they stumble over the "shall not be infringed" part. What if you were to ask them if the same restrictions they want to place upon our 2A rights would carry over to 1A? How about allowing free speech, but you're limited to no more than 10 minutes? What if all civil rights activists were required to undergo a background check before they could get a permit to march in protest or stand on a corner with a sign? Could a person in need of legal counsel hire someone who once served in the JAG Corps or would he be too much of a "military style" lawyer? I mean, where do we draw the line on their favorite rights?

His wife was shot with an AR 15? I wonder if he realizes that a person could have assassinated her with muzzle loading percussion pistol from the 18th century if they wanted. These people are stupid. It's a piece of metal and plastic; it has no soul, just like most liberals.

  They need to be punched in the nose.  I can't stand those guys.

don't buy a 700 dollar Ruger MKIII

Contact Eric Holder he may be able to arrange a drone vist for you

Spot em with a lazer ,let them know they are in range LOL

Thought a light thread on some of your military memories would be fun and nostalgic.   Basic training, Ft. Leonard Wood, MO., 1970:   Had to hang a sign on the foot of my bunk bed for 3:00 A.M. so the C.Q. runner got me up for my first KP (Kitchen Patrol) duty in basic training. The rotating hourly trainee fire guard pacing the hallway for no apparent reason wasn't allowed to wake anyone. The E-2 C.Q. runner had to loudly barge in and yell at the top of his lungs, "get up, get up trainee"...   Getting up, showering, shaving, getting dressed to military standards, making my bunk tight enough to bounce a quarter off of in "ten" minutes was quite a feat! Anywho, reported to the mess Sergeant for duty on time. Because in Army basic training there's nothing not on time unless you're a glutton for punishment.   My rank at the time was "E" nothing and I was being yelled at "DRO" come here, do this, do that? What the heck is DRO and was never told and dare not ask. There were PFC'S (E-3) on mess staff yelling at me to do this and this. Being a private E-Zero, I thought a PFC was almost God, much-less someone who had more stripes!   Preparing for afternoon mess, my military Deity called me and another basic trainee to sit down here on a pickle bucket and peel these potato's, with one of those little hand peelers. I should mention at this point our mess hall fed the entire battalion. We had to haul out all the potato's from the storage room, fifty pound sacks at a time. I'm here to state, the entire state of Idaho doesn't produce this amount of potato's in a year!   We're getting yelled at to hurry up and peel faster... We're doing our very best and now it's about time to start cooking them, and we're only 1/4 done peeling them. Times up, now we get a severe chewing out with some select words frequently used to describe us trainees. Then we're instructed to take all the unpeeled potato's you so-and-so trainees over to them two huge stainless steel appliances over there and dump them in. Come to find out, they're stainless steel potato peelers, and in short order they are all peeled, but maybe half their original size. We're thinking, what the heck, why didn't they just use them in the first place? That was my first experience on why I loved the Army so much and spent a couple of decades in their ranks.   My second experience...   Wrapping up evening mess and everything is about clean (8:00 P.M.) and I'm pooped and ready to go back to the barracks and get all the sweat and grease off me. Here comes the E-6 (Staff Sergeant) mess Sergeant toward us and we snap to "parade rest" awaiting his instruction to return to your company. He states that me and two other trainees are going to clean out the grease trap before we are released.   At eighteen years old I thought, no problem, let's get this done in a hurry and back to the barracks. My eyes are shifting back and forth to a number of sinks and wonder which one(s) needed cleaning!   The Mess Sergeant directs one of his PFC'S to take us and get the pump, shovels and barrels. I'm thinking...   I'm here to tell you in no uncertain terms... If you've never pumped and shoveled the most vile stinking sludge ever known to man...   Some things just stick in your nostrils, you know?   In hind sight, what an experience and went from boy to man faster than natural progression. Did I mention I love the Army?

Spent a few hours at the range today with my 14-year-old daughter. She like Dad's new AR more than her pink Ruger 10/22.

That is a beautiful 99 Greg! I have shot ammo from WW1 before and it fired as advertised. However in hindsite, I should have kept it as it was original 303 Brit in the origianl package. Oh well, no need crying over spent ammo. LOL

The mobile site works well. I have adapted. I used Tapatalk and loved it but you can still access the site from your phone.

Walmart in Columbia this morning had federal 9mm in 50 rd boxes, also had Winchester 22 in 550 packs, I wish we still had Taptalk i could have let people know, oh well. 

Deaf but certainly not dumb. Maybe he should try a little light reading on the subject of his duties, responsibilities, and authorities as a senator. After that he can take a long piss up a rope.

  Can't swing a dead cat without hitting a brain damaged spokesperson in that crowd.

      maybe the NRA and NASCAR see it correctly.  Maybe this dufus Murphy needs to go buy a clue.   Maybe the NRA thinks this is a good investment.

I bought a set that looks like the current Grace sets on sale now at Midway almost forty years ago. Still have most of them and they held up well over the years. When it comes to tools, I learned at a very early age to get quality ... buy once, cry once. Other than the occasional stolen or lost tool, I still have them all and they have served me for a lifetime. I worked them hard and they never failed me. I fully expect to pass them down to my son if he ever gets his head out of his butt. If not, I'll give them to my stepson.

get a cpa then dont worry about it

This story just made my day! If Mark Giffords focus was on preventing the mentally ill from acquiring weapons, I could respect that. After all, that is what ultimately lead to his wife's shooting. Its his overstepping by favoring gun restriction for the law abiding citizen which really chaps my behind. He kept using the "we own glocks" line to make him seem like a gun owner in favor of responsible control. That's total b.s. At least choose a frickin side and stick with it. Now he has been exposed as a total hypocrite. Oh and I love the angle about exposing how easy it is to purchase an AR, and he's turning over a legal weapon to the police. It reminds me of the band member from The Who, who was caught with child pornography on his computer. His defense? I was researching how easy it is to find kiddie porn on the internet, and planned on turning it over to the police.

Great match today guys! Very fun stages.

I just realized his little anti-gun group is called ARS. I guess that's like horse's ars

Last time I was at MCSC it seemed the majority of rifles there were ARs. It's amazing how much AR ownership has gone up in the last decade. Makes me all fuzzy to know that there are so many households with muskets; I really hope it stays that way.

Funny story… We were in the Caribbean on exercises. For that I was the Boat Engineer for the Captains Gig, so I was standing by the Captain on the flight deck. A young guy was operating the remote controlled drones for a gunnery exercise. One of the guys on deck asks the guy what happens if we shoot the drone? He replied “You couldn’t shoot that drone if you tried.” Our Captain looked at the Chief Gunners Mate and asks “Chief can you hit that drone?” He replied “Yes Sir”. The Captain said “Do so.” The Chief walked to the aft gun mount and the Captain told the guy to take evasive measures. Two rapid rounds fired and the drone exploded. The look on that guys face was priceless. We shot his remote controlled boat too, but we brought it on-board and the HT’s fixed it.

He was making a Uncle Joe dig.

Personally, I don't think there is a defense against drones right now.  That's why they are so successful.  Apparently, the bad guys never know there is one coming until it is too late to do anything about it.   My personal feeling about this is, I have no problem with the police using a drone to take out a bad guy, if he or she is an immediate threat to innocent civilians or LE.  That is justifiable. Nor do I have a problem with how they go after Americans that are part of AQ and who are in other countries and beyond the reach of our law. What I have a problem with is using a drone to take out a U.S. Citizen, on U.S. soil that has not had an opportunity to surrender and turn himself or herself over to authorities and have their case pleaded in court.  That is making those in charge, Judge, Jury and Executioner.  That is against the Constitution and Laws of this country, regardless how those in power in Washington, try to justify it.  Bush started us on this slippery slope and we continue to slide on down it.  Obama and his ilk have done nothing to stop the process.  This is one of the reasons I think they are all the same.   What blows my mind is how Holder goes on and on about how we must uphold the law or we cease being a Nation of Laws, but when it suits him, he ignores the law.  And make no mistake about it, the only reason he finally came out and said that it would not be legal was because he was forced into a cornerRand Paul and other members of Congress on both sides and had no other choice.  His statement in the end, was even like a petulant child's response, who has lost an argument with his parent.  If he had really thought that way in the beginning, he would have come out and said it the first time.

http://www.outdoorhub.com/stories/video-have-you-ever-wondered-how-rimfire-ammunition-is-made/   I found this interesting, shows the production methed involved in producing .22 rimfire. At 4,000,000 rds per day from one manufacturer,  someone has a lot of ammo at there house for none to be on retail shelfs..

    She's never got over that house falling on her sister.

i like being single . i was married for almost 30 years got traded in on a new model .i can watch whatever i want on tv

    Sometimes you guys really take it too far. Anyone who says women like to gossip clearly hasn't spent time on TGO.   This guy hasn't even been buried yet and we've already determined he was there to sleep with this woman who must be a cheating whore.   None of us know what happened and it really doesn't make a difference, even if their relationship was inappropriate Rodriguez didn't deserve a bullet for it. 

Good luck hitting anything with an RPG more than 50 ft off the ground.

I think you just coined the replacement for douche bag right there.

Yuuuup. I remember during my early days in the Army there was a fellow Soldier that would bag wives left and right when their husbands were in the field. Not hard to do as they prowl the local bars with intentions of screwing someone that night, and I'd say the husbands are partly to blame for marrying a whore, but his reasoning was that "someone was going to bang them anyway, why not me?" Those were his exact words. Aside from ethics and morals, I explained to him that when one of these dudes comes looking to kill him I will not have his back. He was my buddy and all, but if some guy smoked him over nailing his wife I wouldn't feel bad for him. We all make choices....

          Notice a trend here? Glock 19, for all the reasons here.

They only work against muslims.   Dolomite

Trebuchet slinging flaming pigs should work.

If they pull into your driveway they are on private property. Call the cops then walk out to greet them to hold them there if they will stay. You cannot force them to stay but chit chat might hold them there. And if they leave at least they know you are aware of your surroundings. But if they stay have the cops trespass them from your property. If they come back and enter you property again they can be arrested. I know I have walked down my dead end road to see why someone is parked along it. It is not against the law to ask if they are looking for someone or something. Dolomite

Perhaps that is the case, or perhaps not. The bottom line here is I do not want my child being dressed in a human slavery outfit, I don't care the context. Think about how pissed people would be if they were making the black kids dress up in chains and learning how to pick cotton. You may not see the offensive similarity there, but you may not have been exposed to the culturally acceptable subhuman behavior towards women I've witnessed between Iraq and Afghanistan. It is evil. No matter how many good folks come out of this region it doesn't change their evil culture and I won't have my kids being forced to emulate people of that culture. You may say that it was voluntary on the part of the kids, but that is just as big of an assumption as to say it was involuntary. Who is right? Well, I remember being in class as a kid, and there is an expectation to participate. I can't imagine a world where a teacher would tell me to do something and I would say no. You can't deny the influential role that teachers play in terms of kids following their instructions for fear of being punished or bringing attention to themselves to be the subject of ridicule for being a problem child. My kid will never wear a burqa for any reason ever. This is not about intolerance. It is for the same reason she will not be dressed like a whore or a slave.

Sorry ETP, but the teacher is the one who brought this stuff in for the kids to wear. No matter how you slice it, the wearing of a burqa is a cultural standard that forces the objectification of women and defines them as a second class. Even in the Islamic faith there is NO requirement to wear a burqa. This is done as a control measure by oppressive governments and cultures. Considering the teacher not only has these garments on hand, but brought them into class for the students to wear tells me this was not a voluntary exercise for the student. I'll be damned if someone is going to dress my daughter in an outfit that is designed to oppress and objectify a female as a requirement for "learning". Why not make all the girls dress up like Slave Leia? Might as well, it supports the same message. I'm a pretty open minded guy, but there is absolutely no context where this is okay.

I agree with Greg, I'd think a case of 1000 would make more sense if there already boxed 1000 to a case. Having said that I probably would have just bout my 500 and went on my way with no hard feelings, provided they're not charging full price for a case and then splitting it on you.

Well that give 2 more people a chance to have a few! Just saying. :)  I don't have a problem with "limits" as it gives more people a chance to set some so maybe (just maybe) this scare will slow a little!

I called BS on this whole thing during the previous thread, but folks kept claiming it had to do with some sort of departmental certification or whatever. The simple fact is few if any of even lifer Knoxville cops are gonna wear out their Glocks and that claimed Glock "lifespan" is obvious BS2, nobody  but nobody can point to valid documentation where anybody claims that.   And all those many "failures'? I call BS3   - OS

Anyone who puts my daughter in a burqa is going to get their ass kicked. I would absolutely take a ride in a cop car for that one.

CSCOPE is the Texas version of Common Core, (Federal curriculum for Race to the Top) it is in fact, the tax payer funded downfall of the United States.   While we are watching the budget battle and gun control they are taking over the minds of our children by using our tax dollars to indoctrinate our kids against private land ownership and Capitalism.   https://www.facebook.com/pages/Stop-Common-Core-in-Tennessee/322248557894269?ref=ts&fref=ts

The teacher and everyone in the school district that supports what she did should be fired; they don’t have the intelligence to be teaching children. WTF is CSCOPE, and who is paying for their services?
