I don't like to post faces, but in this case I have to. I started teaching my daughter how to shoot at the age of 4. We started with a suppressed .22, but she refused because daddy didn't shoot one. A suppressed AR in 300 Whisper became her trainer rifle. She killed her first and second deer at 7 with the same Whisper. Her third at eight. Last season she graduated to a suppressed 308 and killed a nice ten point. All the shots were under 200 yards. She has never shot a non suppressed rifle so I was a little nervous. I decided to take her shooting at a grand this morning. The gun is a Savage F-Class in 6mm BRX, 107 SMKs, Benchmark 30" barrel, and a 20x Leupold. The barrel was threaded and chambered by Spook and installed it about three weeks ago. The rifle belongs to a friend. My F-Class gun has a little more recoil than I want her to experience. One group is amazing and almost unbelievable, but I have video. Enjoy.

The right to... bear arms? Found it on Reddit... I had to chuckle

Always on the prowl for storage options for loaded ammo; I was in Lowe's the other night and saw these brand new paint cans. $5 each, you can't buy an ammo can for that. So I grabbed one to play with. They seal up tight, obviously, they're mean to keep paint from drying out. An adventurous soul might even put a thin bead of RTV around the rim. Furthermore, one could smear a little paint on the outside and no one would really pay them any attention stacked in the garage. Anyway, you can get 1,115 rounds of .40 S$W in one if you take the time to stack them and add a cardboard divider between layers. Just thought I'd share :wave: [URL=http://s1216.photobucket.com/user/Reloadingfool/media/IMG_0002_zpsee861bf6.jpg.html][/URL]

Maybe its just me but I've been hunting deer since I was old enough to carry a gun and eating deer since I was a baby. Im not worried about it and never thought about it. I would imagine that most of the "contaminated" meat came from the wound area. I dont take my deer to a processor anyway. I do everything myself so I know what cut meats I have and what area they come from. I try and stay away from the major wound area.

And these principles afforded to EVERY AMERICAN, regardless of race, religion, color, creed, or any other criteria.  Just as the flag represents 50 individual states that can not be divided or separated, this Nation represents millions of people who can not be separated or divided.

Only one I ever heard was terribly racist.

If it makes you feel better, I didn't see any 1000ct Winchester bricks.

I would bet all the processed and steroid induced meats sold at stores is worst for your body.

As sad as what happened to this woman is, it's what we should expect when we put our life/safety in the hands of others. Not me, not my family! When my daughter moves out, her house warming gift from me will NOT be a toaster or microwave.

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

Church asks boys scouts to leave.     http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/us/2013/05/31/dnt-scouts-kicked-out-of-church.wbrc.html     You know, if it wasn't for sinners, Pastors would not have a job.   In my opinion, pastors should welcome anyone.  Of all people they should.

I disagree with you, if some one is attempting to break in your home, what do you think they will do? I have never heard of a wanted Felon just breaking a door down or picking a lock and then turning around and leave after he has opened it. At the point when a criminal tries to enter another persons home, they instantly give up their rights as a citizen and should be treated like the criminals that they are, I think the police need to use some friggin common sense, this is retarded

What we need are folks who will not vote for any new laws. I'd like to see someone run on a platform to only vote to repeal laws.

  Thus, you'd constrain folks professing other religions to use the Christian Bible as the only acceptable construct for debate, even though they don't believe in the book to begin with?   - OS

Beretta 96 I bought from a fellow police officer. I have no idea what I traded it in to get, but I never did like that gun. The handgun I have owned the longest is a Smith & Wesson model 65 my grandpa gave me in 1995. It was his duty revolver when he retired from Ft. Lauderdale Police. Nothing fancy, but it has a fantastic trigger. The story he told me was that a fellow officer had a friend who worked as an armorer at the Smith factory and whenever this guy went home to visit family, he would take a gun or two up to have his friend do a trigger job on it. It still has the original wood grips, and my grandpa used his pocketknife to carve out a recess in the left grip so he could use a speed loader. I asked him if he ever shot anyone with it and he said no, but he did kill a man with it. A fellow cop was in a battle royal with a guy and called for backup. When my grandpa got on scene, he saw the bad guy was trying to get the officer's gun. Afraid he'd accidentally shoot the officer, he beat the guy over the head with the gun and killed him. Funny story; when I got an H&K for my first duty gun I showed it to him. He looked at it for a few seconds and said, "I'm sure it's a fine piece, but do you think that plastic frame will hold up when you hit someone over the head with it?" He preferred the heavy-barreled Smith revolvers over the Colt Police Positive revolvers because they had a pinned barrel and covered ejector rod.  He told me about the first guy he hit over the head with his Colt revolver and when he was done, the ejector rod was bent and the barrel would turn freely in the frame.  He was an old school street cop for sure!    

I store my rimfire ammo in the containers side dishes come in from KFC. Each one holds 200 .22LR perfectly.   http://s1345.photobucket.com/user/xjsnake/media/AmmoStorage_zps6427f1a4.jpg.html

  I'm with you on the Kershaws. Gotta have a Spyderco or two as well. So far, the Militaries have caught my eye over all the rest. Leroy has me pegged. I'll probably get the 4" blade :). One of these days, we're gonna get together and chop up a truckload of taters. :)

I typically mow with a Honda riding mower that I havent been able to kill in 18 years of mowing but this morning it was acting stubborn so I borrowed a 60" exmark. It took me longer to get it on and off my trailer than it did to mow. My yard isn't smooth enough to mow flat out with it but dang that thing can mow some grass in a hurry.

Just picked it up today! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Call me one day and we'll grab lunch. You can try both my military and paramilitary before you buy. I feel like I've got at least that responsibility to your girlfriend.

We all know those Savages aren't accurate enough to get to 1K. :)   That is some amazing shooting. Savage or otherwise.

First that I bought with my own money was a Ruger Blackhawk in .357/9mm. Still have it, don't shoot it as much as I should. Had other guns before that they were mostly long term loans from friends/family. Inherited a Colt official Police from my grandpa before that, still have that too.

I don't think getting set up for a good amount is the problem. The problem as I see it is that there were too many people caught with their pants down who are for whatever reason willing to pay scalped prices on what should be an inexpensive, readily available commodity. I did not get caught with my pants down in regard to .22, I've got plenty. I still plan on buying more as it come available and I also don't care if people have a problem with that.

Her tax dollars at work. She had a history of abuse with that asshole and chose to do nothing.....no weapon or training.

Spare mags are no good when theres no ammo to put in them...

  TWO REASONS PEOPLE SALE GLOCKS:   1) Its the ONLY gun guaranteed to sell 2) Its the ONLY gun guaranteed to sell for a profit

Just as hospitals are for the sick, the church is for the sinners!  BUT, just as the hospitals do not endorse getting sick, the church can not endorse sin! 

I hate it for the kids but kudos to the church. Stand for what you believe.

Atheists are still not allowed in scouts, child or adult.

Great news indeed! Thanks for sharing this story. It's good to hear when LEO do a great job in a tough situation. All too often it only gets reported when they make a mistake.

What a no class monkey dick.

The Staff shot the match today and everything went smooth.  The stages are a lot of fun and the SO's are great.  Still some slots open for walk-ins.  Come on down and join the fun.  Three guns on the prize table available for random drawing.  Do you feel lucky?  For $70 bucks you get to shoot a sanctioned match with 8 stages, free lunch, and a 1 in 30 chance to win a gun, and a much higher chance to go the prize table for some other goodies.

If I owned any firearms I would NOT register them and I would NOT turn them in.   Fortunately; I don't own any so i son't have to worry about it.

The people that has the power to make laws does not want to listen, they are to self-important to listen to commoners. I'm a commoner trying to be heard. Katie Worthman was born in Austria, and lived there for seven years under Hitlers brutal regime, she tells us the same and this has been out for a while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvLdRz5pF7s

The new format should help with minimizing the bickering and drama. And eliminating the Nomination Range is a good move. Make it skill based. Worst shot goes to elimination.

Sadly, I'm convinced the American people would cower to the same type of legislation, all while convincing themselves they can simply vote away their fears. 

Those Sherriff's are some fine men. They deserve some recognition beyond this article for handling this situation so well! :up:

I think system center is the next big thing!  Best darn management tool that has been released in the decade + I've been doing this stuff.

"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/

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.

Joe Biden defense of a sort?

The gun control issue and Second Amendment in general is my litmus test.   Hizzoner FAILS.

Apparently, one isn't supposed to fire shotshells from the .38 Special version of the Cobra derringers.  I had thought about purchasing one of them just to play around with and use mostly for shot shells and that fact (as per the company website) is a big reason I didn't.  Strangely, the 9mm version is okay for use with shotshells (again, per their website.)   I have fired shotshells (of the proper, respective calibers) from my S&W 642, Heritage Rough Rider, H&R 9 shot .22LR revolver and my NAA mini revolver with no problems.  In fact, I have a sort of odd story about them.  The story is a bit long (and, I hope, not a complete hi-jack of the thread) but I believe it is worth reading:   Last year, I discovered that at some point a snake had taken up residence in my commode.  No, I am not joking - the darned thing was living in my toilet.  See, my old crapper had, well, crapped out (developed a crack/leak) and it had been replaced by one that was already on hand and that had been stored in an out building.  The replacement had taken place during cold weather so my best guess is that the snake was already hidden somewhere inside it, hibernating.  It must have woken up when it found itself in warmer environs.  However it got there, I'd raise the lid to use the bathroom and the stupid thing would be hanging down from somewhere under the rim of the bowl - just its head and three or four inches of its body - and it would quickly pull itself back up into its hiding place.   As you might imagine, dropping a deuce while knowing there is a snake with quick, easy access to your tender bits is disconcerting, to say the least.  The snake had to go (and I mean leave, not, well, you know.)  I first tried getting rid of it without harming it.  The problem was, while I was pretty sure it wasn't venomous, I still didn't want to get snake bit.  I have heard of people getting really sick from non-venomous snake bites because even non-venomous snakes can have some pretty bad bacteria in their mouths and I figured that went double for one that lived in a freakin' toilet.  Being that I wouldn't exactly be able to choose where I grabbed the thing, I figured that getting bitten was a good possibility - and that was not something I wanted to explain at the ER.   In the beginning, I wanted to try and humanely catch the snake and then release it into the wild.  I started out trying to grab it with a pair of channel locks (in the interest of that whole not getting bitten thing) but it seems that a snake can pull itself back into its hidey hole faster than I can do that.  I then donned a thick, leather glove and figured I would just 'man up' and snatch it out of there.  Nope - the snake was still too fast.   At this point, I decided to discard the 'humanely' from my plan to humanely remove the snake.  I bought one of those frog-gigging heads that looks like a pitchfork that a tiny Satan might use on the Lilliputian souls in hell and attached it to the end of a short pole.  I then went into the bathroom strode bravely onto the battlefield with my frog gig trusty spear in hand.  I imagine I must have looked like a latter-day King Leonidas, bravely facing my foe with only the strength of spear and sinew standing between me and certain death or serious injury annoying discomfort.  I quickly raised the lid and struck at my foe.  To my credit, I landed a solid blow to the beast's serpentine body.  To the discredit of Eagle Claw brand frog gigs, rather than penetrating the Wyrm's armored hide, the damn tines just bent (then broke off when I attempted to bend them back where they belonged.)  I was almost certain I heard the fiendish snake chuckle as it retreated once again into the recesses of my crapper its lair.  Snake 3, Person 0.  Now, as they say, it was on.   At this point, anger and frustration began to overwhelm caution, reason and good sense.  I decided that, as Sam Colt had made all men equal, a descendent of his creation would probably help level the playing field between me and the no-legged bastich that had the audacity to occupy my throne.  Yep, I decided to shoot the SOB.   Now, I am not a particularly stupid person.  I have a couple of college degrees to attest to my relative level of intelligence.  Remember I said that my old toilet had just been replaced and that was what had lead to this unfortunate series of events in the first place?  Well, luckily the old toilet was still around.  Rather than risking destruction of the snake-infested bowl, I decided to test out the snake shot on the inside of the old one.  The test went off without a hitch - using the .22LR shot in the aforementioned H&R revolver, the shot did no damage to the inside of the test bowl so now it was time to put the theory into action.  I waited until I was sure ol' legless would be hanging down from the rim of my bowl like an anaconda hanging from a jungle tree, flipped the bowl open, quickly acquired my target and fired.   Success!  Quick as the serpent was, my trigger finger was quicker - nor was the scaly monstrosity faster than a speeding bullet load of shot.  Still alive but mortally wounded, the entirety of the creatures body slipped rather unceremoniously from the recesses of my John Ferguson.  I cried out in triumph ("Hell, yeah! Take that, you little bast*rd,") and, finally, removed it from the bowl.   It was then that I could finally tell, for sure, that it was probably a rat snake (or maybe some variation of chicken snake.)  As the flood of adrenalin and the heady rush of battle subsided, I actually began feeling a bit sorry for my valiant foe.  Not that I wanted it back in my toilet or regretted going to whatever means necessary to get it out but I did find myself wishing that we could have come to a more peaceful accord.  Alas, however, that was not meant to be.

Doesn't Alexander play golf? :shrug:

Has anyone ever gone in for the test and been told that they don't have apnea?
