Diane Sawyer, She gets high on you, And the space she invades She gets by on you. Personaly I'm about done giving a crap about what the media or politicians think about guns period.

Proof that guns are not capable of violence. If that Garand could have defended itself, it would have.

You have obviously never had an encounter with the undead. Sumbitches are mean and sneaky.   http://www.cdc.gov/phpr/zombies.htm

Meh, you just haven't engaged some of us crabby Aholes yet.  I'm sure I'll find a way to insult you sooner or later.  

Think of zombies as a metaphor for anything unexpected that might pop up in your life. Being prepared and being able to deal with unexpected adversity is sort of the point of it.   Plus, zombies are pretty cool and The Walking Dead is the best show on TV right now.

    I don't doubt that is his total intent.   I just don't respect his back door manuevers.  He is a chicken shit, no class liar and a user.  I respect for none of the three.

Ammo Manufacturers Scramble to Keep Up with Demand, Reassure Eager Customers April 3, 2013   By Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr.    The run on ammunition has manufacturers scrambling to accommodate demand and reassure customers, as many new and seasoned gun owners stock up over fears of new firearms regulations at both the state and federal levels.   Hornady, an ammunition manufacturer located in Grand Island, Nebraska, offers answers to concerned customers on the FAQ page of their website:   Q: Have you stopped production, or has the government forced you to stop? A: Not at all.   Q: Since we can't find your product you must be selling it all to the government. A: Nope, less than 5% of our sales are to government entities.   Q: Why can't you make more? Ramp up production? Turn on all the machines? A:We've been steadily growing our production for a long time, especially the last five years. We've added presses, lathes, CNC equipment, people and space. Many popular items are produced 24 hours a day. Several hundred Hornady employees work overtime every week to produce as much as safely possible. If there is any question about that - please take a tour of the factory. You'll be amazed at what you see.   The page also states:   "We are producing as much as we can; much more than last year, which was a lot more than the year before, etc. No one wants to ship more during this time than we do.   "We appreciate everyone's understanding and patience. We don't know when the situation will improve, so please bear with us a little longer. And remember, when it comes to Hornady Manufacturing, if you don't hear it from us, please don't believe it."   Other ammo manufacturers are saying virtually the same thing.   Jeff Hoffman, president of Black Hills Ammunition told GunsandAmmo:   "We have a little bit of the hunting calibers on hand, like .270, but everything else is gone. It's only skipping once on its way out the door."   Keith Enlow, senior vice president and ammunition manager at Freedom Group, said:   "Even though we're in the middle of panic buying, we don't see the demand for ammunition going away any time soon."   And, according to Guns&Ammo, Remington's official statement on ammo production is:   "Remington is at full capacity at this time in a majority of categories of ammunition. We are continuing to look at how to increase capacity and supply our ammunition products to the various channels of distribution/sales that we support." The major online ammunition distributors mirror the messages of the manufacturers.   LuckyGunner, located in Knoxville Tennessee provides this message to its customers:   "Our team has been working nights and weekends to ensure that the service we deliver to you is not compromised by the current heightened demand for ammunition."   "Our team is working very hard to secure more product for you and we will.  When its available to be sold, you will see it on our site."   http://cnsnews.com/blog/gregory-gwyn-williams-jr/ammo-manufacturers-scramble-keep-demand-reassure-eager-customers  

It needs more cowbell.

Don't go spending $1800 on a cetme. Prepanic $400-$550 gun, and not worth that IMHO. If you want to spend $1800 get an m1a or an ar-10.

Out of touch and out of control?  Seems an odd statement considering this bill would return Senator selction to the very method our founders intended.  I see nothing wrong with moving back toward the way our republic was set-up to operate.   And before anybody tells me that the people will do a better job of selecting Senators than the state legislature one only has to look at what we have (Corker and Alexander) to know just how baseless that argument would be.   Many here claim they want the power returned to the states that the federal government has stolen - this is a step in that direction.

I'm not huge into engraving, mainly because I don't have any heirloom quality firearms, but seeing how my dad is getting back into his engraving hobby I thought I'd let him do some work on my Rossi 92 .38/.357. My dad has always been a craftsman and has done custom and commissioned pieces (mainly knives) in the past. After getting out of it for quite a few years I gotta say I'm impressed that he could pick it right back up. Pictures don't capture the finer details and make it look kinda flat, but let me just say it is VERY nice work. Enjoy.

Well, after a month of back and forth with the appraiser and underwriters, we've finally got the paperwork on the way and closing on our first house in 2 days. Great deal on it, 3 bedrooms, an office, extra room that could be an bedroom and a pretty large block storage/safe room. Place was immaculate, owned by an engineer and built by them about 15 years ago - it was one of those places you can tell they went out of their way to take care of. Heck, even after the contract was signed they still invested more money into it to pretty it up some more. Best part of all, in back we have a horse farm, in front we have a cattle farm and there's only about 4 houses in the vicinity. Unfortunately one of the owners was developing MS and they were building a new 1 story house so she could get around in a wheelchair easier. We exchanged stories, and they seemed more interested to know the house would be taken good care of than who moved into it. Anyways, here she is:

Once took a walk in Belle Meade with a 1851 Navy revolver like his hero.

These uninformed liberal gun grabbers will cut off their nose to spite their face. Mossberg said they would move if they could from Conn. They may expand in Texas. Colorado is losing magpull, hunting show and expo's. Come to Tennessee! We will be the next economic powerhouse! The South will rise again!  :wave:

  I have no idea what you just said.

Be very careful when somebody tries to sell you a Garand along with a story about it being the M1 that his Grand Daddy carried in WWII or Korea and then brought it back home with him.   Didn't happen - - -  Unless it was Stolen!  :ugh:   M1 Garands were kept in the system.  They were never part of any offical release program to departing soldiers.   And here is an interesting fact.....   The Army still has complete inventory control and listings of every M1 Garand serial number ever produced, where they went, and what happened to them.  Its part of the reason (the other being political) why those "Korean M1s" you keep hearing about have not come back into country.  The Koreans want to sell them back to us, the Army shows that many of them are lend-leased from the US and never owned by the Koreans.  Those leased M1s should be returned to the Army who will then release them to the CMP.

I'd say the whole root of the problem - the reason so many folks are 'concerned' - is that the government is NOT us.  Hasn't been for quite some time.  The idea that we, the voting public, choose the government is an illusion.  Instead, we are given two (usually equally poor) candidates and lead to believe that our choice of one piss-poor candidate is any better than the other simply because he or she has an R or a D by their name.  Sadly, the reality is that neither of those candidates would have gotten so far as to be a choice without first being vetted by the real powers - the corporations and power brokers who really run the government and who couldn't care less about us, our wants or our needs.  No, the government is not 'us' and there is no fixing this at the ballot box.  We cannot vote in someone 'better' because someone 'better' will never get the backing of the major parties and the American voters don't have the cajones to vote for a candidate without that backing because they will continue to believe the BS that doing so is 'wasting their vote'.

People do not trust the God-Emperor Barack Hussein Obama. People do not trust the thugs in the Obama regime. Obama and his minions have all lied too frequently to earn or maintain trust. People have concerns for their basic liberties because they have concerns for their basic liberties and these concerns are reasonable. The tremendous volume of gun and ammunition purchases across the country are a manifestation of this lack of trust. It is a negative vote of confidence and the God-Emperor Barack Hussein Obama and his minions need to work to regain the trust of the people, if that is even possible at this point. A simple speech saying "trust me" won´t cut it.

I think so many people don't understand how our government was initially set up.  Senators were never intended to represent the people, that was the function of the House of Representatives.  Senators represented state issues.  I would be all for repealing the 17th.  There is just too many special interests and outside influence at work with the way it is now.  More than likely, bills such as Obamacare would have never made it through the Senate if things were back to the way they should be.

Just renewed ACLU membership.

It is wrong how hard I laughed at that!

I wish the MFer would just cut to the chase and work towards a total turn them in gun ban.  At least I could respect that.     Instead he wants to do everything on the sly and through a back door.  That gains no respect.   I respect people who say what they mean and mean what they say even if I don't agree with their ideas.  At least they aren't playing people for fools.  Unlike the Big O

Smith just posted a picture of a stock Garand... one in pristine shape. I guess they heard some crap about the abomination.

is living proof that a long lost tribe of homely indians one roamed the plains and performed unholy carnal acts on slow moving buffalo...

Yep. Smith Enterprises posted that thing on Facebook. I shared it a little while ago with this comment...   Whoever did this to a Garand needs their ass whipped...

this is easy to defeat.  "you are correct, lets not make that law after all".

I have a question for the LEO readers of this thread. Why was the shooter charged with aggravated assault? If you throw a punch at somebody that's aggravated assault. This guy fired fifteen rounds into the car, broke out lots of glass and grazed the victim's head.  Isn't that something more like attempted homicide? 

It is because the liberal ones probably have more time on their hands because they are not working. The more conservative ones don't have the time while they are working.   Hope they charge him as an adult. I suspect this isn't the first time he has worn a pair of handcuffs. And he should be glad he is getting charged and not buried.

  I'm not saying you guys are right or wrong discussing this.  All I'm saying is that if you find yourself at a deposition or possibly on the witness stand testifying about a self-defense shooting, you can expect comments made on an internet forum to be brought up.  Whether that's important to the outcome of the case is up to the jury.   I tend to agree with the advice in your last two sentences.     This discussion also sort of reminds me of the Raul Rodriguez case.  His use of all the self-defense buzzwords while on the phone with 911 was actually used against him.  The prosecution also brought up that Rodriguez told a neighbor that if you're ever involved in a shooting, tell the authorities that you feared for your life and were standing your ground.  He got 40 years.  

    see, it is a win win situation.

You might find this interesting...       I had been told numerous times that most police departments have a policy similar to the above and that they do because they KNOW that when an officer is involved in a shooting, they aren't going to be thinking straight for a while. That applies to civilians too because we all have the same chemicals rushing through our bodies when we are faced in that kind of situation. That's why you don't want to be offering a lot of information or answering a lot of questions immediately after a self-defense shooting and especially not without your attorney present. I think that most LE will understand why a person involved in a SD shooting will not just want but really needs some time to compose him/her self before answering a lot of questions.   You DO want to be the first person to call 911. You DO need to give basic information such as has already been suggested.  You also want to make sure that the 911 operator (and the police) know who you are/what you look like so that when LE arrive on the scene they don't mistake you for the bad guy! You also should have the phone number (cell if possible) of one or two attorneys you can call from the scene...keep their numbers in your wallet. Practice the things you NEED to say ahead of time so that when the emotions are flowing you'll know what to say and what not to say.

To echo and expand on what the others are saying, the instructor was trying to get you to take a deep breath before you call 911 and say something that can be used against you later.  When I was in law enforcement, my plan following a shooting was to call for assistance, render aid, and immediately call my PBA lawyer (fortunately I never had to put that plan into action).  If you are involved in a shooting as a CCW holder, go ahead and plan on talking to the police and the district attorney, possibly multiple times.  Also, plan on getting sued by the bad guy/gal or their relatives.  The rules governing evidence in a civil trial are different than a criminal trial.  The point is that anything you say, including during a 911 call, can be used against you.  Also, consider that courts generally give excited utterances credibility because it is assumed that people won't have the time to make up a story while they are emotionally keyed up.  However, if you wait too long to make that 911 call, you are almost certain to be held civilly liable and possible criminally liable as well, which I presume was the point of your original question.   Work on this scenario in your mind because mental preparation is important here as in the actual defense situation.  This is also the reason why people need to be absolutely certain that the use of deadly force was absolutely essential.  If you really believe the shooting was absolutely necessary, you are less likely to say anything that would suggest otherwise.     As far as the actions of the police, generally, upon arrival at the scene anticipate being approached at gun point, placed on the ground, and handcuffed until the officers can get control of the situation and determine that everything is safe.  It's not personal, so don't take it that way.  You may be Mother Teresa's first cousin, but all the officers know upon arrival is that you shot someone.  The officers may or may not take an initial statement at the scene, but they will likely transport you to the police station for a more in-depth interview.  I would request an attorney before making any detailed statement beyond the very minimal information to establish the shooting as a self-defense shooting.  The 911 call should be pulled by the investigator and added to the evidence related to the case.
