So he fended off a burglar, only to be robbed by the Medford police? It is starting to get difficult determining the difference between the good guys & bad guys these days.

This is just anther reason why I don't believe in warning shots.

I shot a whole box of. 22lr yesterday. I felt so guilty after. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

Well computers are used for child porn.......Staples sells computers, so by extending their logic Staples supports child pron and is therefore evil.

Somebody PM me when the gays have completed their world domination so I can run around in a Kilt and have all the hot women to myself.  :D

Two warning shots to the chest shoulda done the job.

It's an upper.... not a firearm.

I typed this up for facebook the day they announced, just thought I would throw it out there.:   My wife just asked me what I thought of today’s decision by the Boy Scouts of America to allow openly homosexual boys and still refuse adults. Short answer: I am torn my mind is not made up. Long answer: I myself am an Eagle Scout I started in the Tiger Cubs, then Cub Scouts, Weblows, Boy Scouts, and achieved Eagle in November of 1994. Though our Oath does include the words “Morally Straight”, we also follow a law: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent. We have a slogan “Do a good turn daily” To not allow homosexuals child or adult is certainly not helpful, friendly, courteous, or kind to those individuals, nor is it doing a good turn. What of the boys who run the gauntlet and achieve the rank of Eagle and wish to continue as leaders? Is the BSA going to deny them, after proving themselves trustworthy, and loyal? The fear of homosexual adults being molesters, of being “turned on” by boys is also unfounded; the number of gay offenders is tiny compared to heterosexual offenders. However, now that homosexual youth will be allowed, I can speak from experience, that the bullying and discrimination from the other youth would be severe. Kids at that age can be ruthless. Some adults are not much better. Regardless of their preference, no child should have to face that ridicule. We may now see long time sponsors of troops pulling their support, these sponsors mostly churches would pull out for religious reasons. You will have parents and others saying that their kids might get hit on by gay kids, or may “catch” gay, ridiculous but true. What it boils down to is that Homosexuals are people to and deserve the same rights and opportunities as any one else, they are facing and fighting against fear discrimination, as well as an organization with deep religious and moral roots. I am indifferent to and respect everyone’s religion and sexual preference. I generally like everyone. But there are two distinct sides to this equation; each has its merits, and downfalls. Therefore, I’m torn between agreeing and disagreeing.  

Try a Smith & Wesson M&P.

I couldn't resist posting about 20 of these to my face book account

They missed a few...protect and defend, constitution, oath of office among others.

  I am pro gun but I am pro property rights and employer rights even more. I wish I could carry my firearm everywhere I go but I can't. And I am fine with that because if I can force someone to do something against their will then that means someone can do the same to me.   I am glad, I truly am, that everyone got what they wanted but I just don't understand what this did to really change things for employees. It does not protect them from termination for having a firearm in the parking lot, just says they can legally possess it there. The employer can still fire an employee as well as dictate no firearms on his property as a condition of employment. We will have taken a major hit to our freedoms when the government tells a boss he cannot fire an employee that violated company policy.   Nothing in the law says you can having anything on the private property that the owner doesn't want there. The owner of the property can still ask you to leave for having a gun. And if you don't you are breaking the law.   It was, and still is, legal to have a firearm in the vehicle on school property if you are delivering or picking up. Once you become and employee you follow your boss's rules or don't work there. Students are not employees so they should be able have the firearm left in the car IAW the law providing it isn't a condition of attending the private school. In that case they follow the institution's rules or find another school.   I am glad I can have a gun in the parking lots but the law doesn't keep the owner of that parking lot from removing me.

  Changing possession in vehicle on school property from a felony to legal behavior seems most significant part to me.   I wouldn't be surprised if some case law might come from TN college campus at some point too -- dunno about the employment part, but I'm not so sure at all it's going to be okay to expel a student for complying with state law, and especially one that takes funds from the state in the first place.   - OS

Cool spring Walmart has about 10 bricks of rem golden 22 ammo left.

  I believe OhShoot was making a play on your misuse of the word 'deft' when you obviously meant 'deaf'.  'Deft' generally indicates that a person/group of people are adept at something or, as the online version of Merriam-Webster puts it, "characterized by facility and skill."

You are overlooking a couple of points.   Yes, an employer can fire you for virtually any reason or no reason. However, it matters to an person's UIB if he is fired for cause or not.   This law does take away the ability of an employer to press criminal charges against you for carrying on a "posted property"; while I don't know if it's EVER happened at least it can't happen now.   It also negates the threat of criminal charges for having a firearm in your vehicle while parked in "posted" parking lots at places like shopping malls, etc.   We'll get a good parking lot law eventually; similar to those that some 19 other states already have...we'll just have to wait until we get a governor and legislative leadership with some balls.

  Unless you're working in development, almost all tech jobs are boring if you're highly skilled.  Go to work, press some buttons, answer some calls, press more buttons, plug something up, go home rinse & repeat.

I still don't think he should have been charged with a crime for it though.  The person was obviously making an attempt to illegally enter his home and apparently ignored verbal warnings that he was armed and willing to defend himself.  I think this vet made a conscious decision to use the weapon as a deterrent without having to take the life of the felon.  He may have been wrong by the absolute letter of the law, however that law wasn't written for these types of situations.

"Warning shots" are for TV and movies.   Oregon is becoming a place for whimps and idiots. That aside, I'm not so sure that this veteran would have been treated any differently in Tennessee.   if you are justified in giving a "warning shot" then you are justified in shooting to stop the threat; if the threat hasn't reached the point where deadly force is justified then neither is a warning shot. The fact that he gave a warning shot indicates to me this veteran perhaps wasn't sure that this bugler was enough of a threat to justify deadly force and if the veteran who was there wasn't sure then why would the police be???   For discussion: https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/ccm-columns/its-just-the-law/warning-shots/

Several don't care just because its California.  But there are a lot of us that realize that California serves as a testing ground for the majority of gun control laws that propagate throughout the several states. Think of any restriction on firearms ownership in the U.S. and it most likely originated in California.

Walmart still sells ammo?!

Man, with this new holster I don’t even notice my gun is there… Hey wait a minute!!!                                                                                       

  I don't know how you missed it. We flogged it as hard as homosexuals in the boy scouts. :)

In just 1 1/2 minutes, Nora Craig tells elected officials in New Jersey just what their job is supposed to be. Classic!!   http://www.therightscoop.com/fantastic-new-jersey-woman-delivers-a-lesson-on-the-2nd-amendment/  

Staples are an office supply    that is why I prefer Office Depot    :taunt:

No one has answered my question regarding how this policy will change anything in regard to how scouting activities are conducted.

You are quoting a case where the SCOTUS held in a 6-3 vote that the DUI checkpoints in question met the 4th amendment standard of reasonable search and seizure. It is not unlawful for you to avoid a DUI checkpoint. But if a chase car is free they will be on you like a fat kid on cake. How far do you think you can drive before committing a violation of the vehicle code? Don't drink and drive. The only people that will help you or be on your side is the ones you pay.

The fact that they set such a policy is enough for me to do no more business with them.  I really don't care when they set their policy.  Obviously, others think the same way I do.  They are getting hammered on their FB Page.  I already have several LIKES for the post I placed there.

I'm very disappointed.......     ... that the tree didn't slingshot him off. I was SO hoping to see that :)

I was in Cabela's today in Louisville KY.   The shelves were stocked. Fully stocked.   Even, wait for it...   .22LR.   Buying restrictions were still in place. But they had 100+ bricks of Remington $24/525 Golden Bullet and Winchester $30/500 in the wooden box. Plenty of CCI Minimag $9/100 and several other flavors.   Brass cased PMC .223, $10/20. Brass cased PMC FMJ 9x19mm $20/50.   Plenty of Modern Sporting Rifles, even on the used rack.   It was nice.

Might I suggest starting off small?

Whack job about sums it up

The choice between 0W20 vs 5W30 oil has more to do with meeting fuel mileage targets than lubrication, except in very cold climates.   The filter change is about economies of scale.  The cartridge type takes 10 second less to install on the assembly line and costs $0.003 less when you buy 5 million of them. 

It's not a right or wrong answer, nor is the equasion's answer infallable & absolute like in mathmatics. People can also be right, for the wrong reasons, or wrong for the right reasons. The question that the BSA faced was "what was best for the Scouting program?" 1.) Contine fighting a loosing battle against the homosexual activists? Or .. 2.) Surrender their values morals & principals and vote to modify membership policy to allow openly gay boys to become members. Either way traditional Scouting is lost, at least this way maybe the kids who do remain in the program will be able to make use of public land & facilities again. But the "moral core foundation" of the Scouting program has been forever corrupted. Which was probably the whole intention behind the opposition to begin with, there will not be some sort of massive wave of openly gay boys joining the Scouts who had been waiting all of their lives to participate in Scouting. Sadly the opposite is much more likely, ie a massive wave of devote Christian children will probably abandon the Scouting program. Right, wrong, doesn't matter, the damage has been done, another once great traditional American institution is taken down by subversives.

From Sth Fla, not sure I would say the Gulf is better, just depends on what you are fishing for and what's running.. nothing like catching King fish at night.. Damn I wanna go too.. 

  They are SUPPOSED to have that right. Popular election of Senators is why we have no states' rights any more. The 17th Amendment needs to be abolished yesterday.

When they're (nearly) worn out.  Ideally just before they start squealing since I don't want to ruin the rotors.  About 1/8" of pad left = nearly done.

12 minutes later...   Jack quickly pushed that thought out of his mind as they approached the police station. The stations main parking lot was empty, as was the secondary rear lot for squad cars with the exception of the on-duty officer's personal vehicles. Jack was surprised by this but then as he thought about it, it began to make sense. This began around 8:15, as that was the last time Jack looked at the clock before he was hit; it was now a little after nine pm. People were getting settled at home when that emergency service bulletin went out, some were already going to bed for an early work day and have no idea that this is happening.   When Jack was hit, the truck took a hit partially on the rear passenger side door and partially on the bed. The door was no longer usable but taking the impact at both areas was able to disperse the kinetic energy with more ease. The damage to either was not as great as it could have been; though being out of alignment now, the Tundra was still very much drivable.   Upon parking Jack locked his truck leaving the carbine where it lay. Brigsby wide eyed said, "That's probably a good idea but don't you think you should get that out of sight?" Jack smiled and responded, "Well I highly doubt someone's going to freak out over that lil guy after the things we've seen tonight and if somebody tries to steal it, well good luck to them." Jack knocked on the window and it responded with a dull knock, "All of the door windows are made of polycarbonate. At the cost of being able to roll the windows down, they're almost shatter proof." Brigsby was taken aback by this, "But what if you were to get into an accident and no one can get to you?" Jack once again smiled, "Hell man, I'll take that risk. Hopefully someone will have the Jaws of Life with them."

Yeah, adding a pistol grip to the Mossy's is problematic but with a standard stock I prefer the tang safety and slide lock of the Mossy. You don't have to move your hand to work either, unlike the 870/Pardner.   Never had an issue putting stocks on the Pardners myself so that's new one to me. The Knoxx Spec-Ops stocks fit fine on the Pardners and the IAC's in my experience. I put them on 3 of them using the supplied bolts. The Pardners will take some 870 barrels. Pardner barrels fit the 870 but 870's barrels will only fit an extended mag tube Pardner. The barrel bracket on the 870 is a bit farther out than the Pardner's.   I can say that 870 bolts, carriers, action bars, side saddles, forearms, triggers, and  mag followers are interchangeable with the Pardner.

  You seem to have Haslam confused with Corker.   - OS

In my younger and dumber days ... I hit five junebugs in rapid succession going a little over 70 mph wearing a tshirt. The last one hit me on the left nipple ... It hurt so bad I pissed in my pants. I now have very high quality gear ... Even that did not stop me from getting a fractured scapula last fall. It is not if you crash ... it is when you crash.

20 years ago I would be in the same frame of mind. Now, I'm 60 years old, severe arthritis in left wrist from breaking it 20 years ago, worn out knee that should have been replaced 3 years ago and has seen several surgeries, a pinned ankle and an anchor in my shoulder. I also have 3 degenerated discs......My fighting days are over. I will not be a punching or kicking bag for no man. I try to be cordial to everyone because its the right thing to do, and not out of fear. I will walk away if I can because I cannot run. Pursue at your own risk.

i wonder the same as this comment on the video "Why do NJ cops look like the SS from 1930s Germany..?"

That and a squadron of B-1s loaded with napalm...can you say Dresden?

"Welcome to New Jersey... hope you You WILL enjoy your stay! Your papers, please." When you continually vote leftists into office year after year, this is what you get. Most of the time you get what you deserve and vice-versa.

Basically he was telling them how gun control creates victims not the guns. He was wanting to debate the new laws they were wanting to impose and the guy didnt want to debate them. So the elected offical got pissed cause people are tired of the elected officals bull shit they are being shoveled.

It just came out in the news that Corker is moving strongly in favor of arming the rebels in Syria. My opinion is those weapons, or at least the contents therein, will be returned to us at some later date by whichever howling mob emerges on top. Is there something i'm missing? Have I missed the huge popular support  movement for Syrian (gag!!!)  Democracy (gag!!!)?  Here in small town Tn., amidst my admittedly conservative cliche, there is very little, if any, emphathy or sympathy for more involvement in the Arab spring.
