In my opinion, muslins brought this on themselves. Maybe this could be an alternative to being sniffed by a dog for their transportation needs... Dave S

I was hunting down in Alabama a couple of years ago on a Sunday during the playoffs.  My buddy and I had been watching football, drinking beer and eating hot wings Saturday night.  Well I had not been hunting long before nature called.  With the beer and hot wings, lets just say it was not pleasant.  I had no sooner pulled my pants up when a buck comes running in snorting and grunting up a storm.  i guess he was looking for the other "buck" he had heard grunting.  I dropped him with a quick shot before I had even buckled my pants.

Simple don't travel . Welcome to the good ole USA. . Nobody asked ya to come here any way .

This is still 'Merica, and Tennersee at that. What is this "one rifle" concept anyway?   - OS

Well if the stupid azz people would quit buying that inflated price ammo, then they would stop.

Going through a difficult time lately, and I have 1 rifle in the house.  This may sound like someone wedded to the past, but that one rifle is my Garand.   Recoil is quite manageable.  It is a few pounds heavier than I'd really like these days, true - but I'm not up to playing action hero anymore, so very unlikely I'd have to tote it very far.   The caliber will stop anything I'm likely to shoot at with a rifle - I can't recall ever hearing that 30-06 is an underperformer.  I've even clipped up some black tip on the off chance I'm attacked by Christine.   Clip fed, but I've plenty of clipped ammo on hand.  3 seconds to shove a new clip in and get back on sights, and that isn't trying for speed.   Accuracy?  Maybe mine is specially blessed or something, but I'm accustomed to 1 MOA.  Iron sights, of course, but the best iron sights ever mounted on a bangstick.

Me and a buddy went squirrel hunting about 20+ years ago. his dad ended up walking along with us but not hunting. I was quite the novice and very excited about my second hunting trip. After about 30 minutes I got one and dropped it in the pouch on the back of my vest. About 20 minutes later as we were relocating I felt something move on the small of my back. I instanly knew what was wrong, The squirrel was still alive. I knew instantly how to handle this situation, I ran as hard as I could backwards and slammed into a tree, then would step forward and would thrust back into the tree trying to save myslef from the impending revenge of a stunned squirrel. On about the third time slamming by trophy into the tree I noticed my buddy and his dad laughing hysterically and the stick that the dad used to poke me in the back still in his hand.

Rushing took the gun from his four-wheeler and attempted to fire it. When it misfired, Rushing commented to the others, “This thing doesn’t work.” And that’s when he pointed it at his head.   Looks like he was DEAD wrong about that!

I'm more akin to "The Government's too damn big"  philosophy myself.

There is a different president now and the DOJ is run by someone who would otherwise be in jail the rest of his life.

RE:  The McCain "respect" thing.   I think we make mistakes passing out the term "respect" in lots of cases; and the McCain thing is one of them.   Its important that "respect" be passed out for action that gained it.  It is not "eternal" .... . It can be lost; and that is what has happened with McCain..  Said another way, respect is earned for the actions that precipitated that "respect"...   It can be lost.   It is not enduring.   The fact of the matter is that john mccain is an old hippie with a backbone; nothin else.  I dont like hippies on principle, and i damn sure dont like MCCain.  Havin said that, i held my nose and voted for him because i couldnt stand the alternative that we have now.     McCain is a genuine product of the rarified atmosphere that permeates the majority of the "Inside the Beltway Crowd" and the top echelons of the military. He symbolizes all that is wrong with politics today, both within the Republican party and politics in general.   He believes everything he says is right and that us delightful rustics should bow down and do what he says.. period.  John McCain is exactly like John Glenn.  He is a shameless politico who has used military service as a stepping stone to political debauchery.  He no more is a patriot today than i am an russian cosmonaut.    He is an old statist, out to tell us delightful rustics what to do and what to think.  After all, he is "...The best and brightest..." and we should bow down.  I say pooey.  Forget it.....I aint doin it; and i aint gonna honor anyone like McCain nor let him disarm me.    Remember, military service doesnt translate to patriotism.  It may translate to heroism, but it does not translate to patriotism.  The Hessians were german mercanaries for the British in the Revolutionary War.   non believin leroy

A 30/30 Marlin with the Hornady Leverevolution ammo would be hard to beat.

Well, you know the old saying...  Watch out for the feller with one rifle; he probably knows how to shoot it. 

Assuming ammo is already plentiful before SHTF I would go with my ar15 with 22 conversion kit to cover my bases for 223/556 and keep my Blachawk 9mm/38/357 for my pistol. Why? Easy, two guns, five extremely popular and effective calibers. I win.

Don't be fooled into thinking that since you've done it once the next time will be easier.

IL, CA, & NY  are still "Shall not enter States" for my purposes.

I was hog hunting with a buddy in south Florida one afternoon when nature called. I told him to go on ahead on the trail and I would catch up after I had finished my business. We were in planted pines and the forest floor was covered with 4 foot palmettos. I slipped off the trail a few yard and found a comfy spot. Just as I dropped trousers and squatted my buddy jumped a herd of pigs just up trail from me. I heard the squealing and palmetto rustling and realized they were headed right towards me. I desperately tugged at the .44mag on my loose belt with my left hand, while my right held firmly to my anchor sapling. As the hogs got closer, the gun finally came out of the holster. I cocked the hammer and pointed towards the noise, fully expecting to have a face to face encounter in the next seconds. The palmettos were so thick I couldn't see more than 4 feet in any direction. Finally the hogs passed without me seeing one. I finished and gathered myself, chuckling at the prospect of having to fire that Ruger .44mag one-handed from a squatted position, bare-assed, and the likelihood that I would have fallen backwards fulfilling every woodsman's worst bathroom nightmare. When I popped back out of the trial, there was my buddy. He said, I thought that old saying was going to come true, you know the one... I thought you went to crap and the hogs ate you... LOL. 

                       http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=89866 I found these instructions to be concise, complete, and easy to follow.        

I was trapping coon last season and had a big boar in a body trap. No signs of life when I approached. I'd forgotten my .22 so I popped him in the head w/ a rock just to be sure. Nothing, no breathing, nada. Still, just to be sure, I put him underwater for a couple of minutes while I checked the rest of the traps. I carried him back to the cabin and got the body out of the trap. The second the trap was loose, he came back to life and started trying to crawl away. I jumped back and durn near ruined my drawers. He'd been trapped, stoned and drowned and was still going. At that point I figured  "zombie coon" and dealt with it in the traditional manner.

...and yes, I needed lots of ammo. I got to see good shooters, got some advice. It was challenging for me and all was good. Thanks everyone.

Oh, why do they have to be so far away. :(

Here is mine: I bought it a couple weeks ago off Gunbroker. It's not a typical Glock, it's their Professional Line, noted as "GL23PL, or PL23 for short. It's now my daily carry. I like it because with the included holster, you are guaranteed not to shoot yourself if it discharges negligently because of where it is pointed when holstered. And trust me, it discharges negligently a lot. It's worth it though because not only do these discharges replace my CW badge (because I no longer have to display that I have a gun when everyone can just hear rounds popping off in the distance while I am walking), but it also looks different too when I have to toss it to the ground shortly before being tackled to the pavement by the LEO's I now know by name. Top of its class though. Top of its class!

Well I look at it from this perspective. I would buy it as an investment piece. Not sure if this gun will increase in value (this statement is based on the fact that I do not have any background in this type of weapon) But I know some of my C&R stuff has gone up. But some people just like to buy this type of stuff to have. To put on display… I say if this purchase will make you happy by all means pull the trigger.

Steve Buscemi as Nancy Pelosi. I don't know how they would make him uglier though.

Couple of oddballs here. First my CCCP market Nagant revolver. A lot of info out there about these, mine looks to have been never fired or at least very little. Neat design, the cylinder moves forward to make a seal with the forcing cone. Cool price of Soviet tech. Next is my Star model B 9mm. Another beat old gun, these were originally designed off of the 9mmLargo. Unfortunately when they switch over to the 9mmLuger all they really changed was the barrel/chamber. It's accurate but has feeding issues that make it less than desirae as a defence tool and even frustrating as a range toy. Doesn't get shot much. Last is a Zipp Gun. Still not sure why I bought this exactly, its cool but I have much better 22. pistols. Fired once to test function and accuracy, it functions, its accurate, it's currently a safe queen. Maybe a collectors item one day?

I'd say its pretty hard on the dogs too.....especially his poor ol' olfactory system.

He doesn’t have a son anymore; Zimmerman shot him.

As promised, here is a couple pictures for your pork chop appetite! This 250 pound Feral Sow was taken last week on a controlled hunt at a local Refuge. You can't see them, but she has 2 1/2 inch teeth. I pit BBQ'd a shoulder and it was some KILLER BBQ!! Made a lot of sausage too! This 62 pound "Baby Bacon" (what I call little feral hogs) met it's demise the other day. Taken on a controlled hunt with 3" 00 buckshot. Got put in the freezer and the Ribs were BBQ'd yesterday....They were AWESOME!!! I'm all porked out now! DaveS "Hawg Daddy"

There should be a bunch of IP attorneys in Nashville because of the music industry. It's a big money game. You can file for a copyright without an attorney. You just have to download the forms, fill them out, and send them in with a fee. With that said, Lester hit on the most valid points.

David Spade would play a great Hillary Clinton!

Terrorists offend me. As does TSA. They can suck it up along with the rest of us.

Spare tire is like carrying a firearm.   I'd rather have one and not need it.... you know the rest.

Of course. But if my firearm isn't welcome then neither is my money; At least that is my policy!

They need to add Lamar to that toon, i'm sure he's in that line behind the big fat SOB.

I agree, I can't enjoy city parks here in Nashville, or go into a city community center because it's posted...  State, county, and city property should not be able to post except in the cases of courtrooms, and areas that regularly house prisoners.  Outside of those 2 exceptions we should remove the ability for any government entity to post in TN.  

With the exception of detachable mag, I think your quals describe that Win94 in 30/30. However a detachable mag can be a negative because it can be lost. If I could have only one, my winny94 goes with me.

Florida fans without a doubt are the worst, much more than "rowdy", just plain douchebags.  I'd say LSU fans are second but they are more rowdy in the sense of just liking to raise hell.   I do know that Tennessee fans have been treated like shit in both Gainesville and Baton Rouge.

Teardown is is easy. It's learning how to hold your tongue and tilt the gun to get it back together that's interesting.

Don't color these liberals stupid, they are extremely intelligent and manipulative to twist history for their own goals and agendas.     What would be the purpose to blatantly lie and have that rubbish spewing from his vile mouth? A new anti-American goal or another American restriction on our Constitutional freedoms maybe?

And then the hippies plug their car into a wall which gets its electricity from burning coal.

I see nor can I imagine any "facts" that can justify what the cops did to this woman.   1. You cannot tell how badly someone may be hurt just by looking at them or at the damage. I was in an accident this past April (lady turned left in front of me) that totaled my 2012 Nismo 370Z and the much large car of the woman who turned left in front of me...I walked away with a couple of scratches; she had to be taken by chopper to Vanderbilt where she spent over 3 weeks in the hospital.   3 [2]. Regardless of whether her condition was known or whether she should or shouldn't have been driving is a matter to be dealt with later; at the time of the accident she was an accident VICTIM with potential severe injuries and should have been treated that way.   4. Temperature of the asphalt?  This was New Mexico in July...what do you think the temp was! Hell, forget it was NM...how hot does the asphalt get here! How long can you leave your face planted on the blacktop on a July day...do you think you'll be burnt?  Why would that even mater anyway...there is ZERO reason to put someone face down on asphalt on a July day, in TN or NM.   5. Doesn't matter if she was drunk or not...drunks can be injured in an accident too...sure; the drunk is allegedly a criminal and the other (medical issue) isn't but once the accident happened the person was an accident VICTIM with the potential of severe injuries.   This was just a traffic accident; not the end of a high speed chase or a felony stop...short or a fire in a vehicle or some other imminent danger of death there is simply NO reason to drag a potentially injured person out of a car like that...it's beyond irresponsible and these cops should be disciplined for doing it.  Further, if this is a result of their training or lack of it then the city needs to be disciplined too.

Sure, I get that. I guess what I was trying to say is that it couldn't happen because it is logistically impossible, and that doesn't even take into account the human factor. Democrats don't need to use military force to destroy this country and limit our rights. They do a fine job the way they do it now.

Thought I'd share, because of this thread I gave a box I had, the same one you had actually Ted, to a coworker; he was complaining to me about how his son couldn't shoot his GSG because of the shortage. I told him that I'd hook his boy up because of the ammo drought, when asked how much, I said not a dime but to pass that same mutual feeling along to someone else if the moment ever presents itself. The guy himself is sorta of a stiff and wouldn't do that for most other people but I can't hold that against his son, if the boy wants to blast away, well I feel a little obligated to assist em.

This article should be titled... In a Desperate Move to Remain in the News, Occupy Wall Street announces...

Some folks want to act as if McCain is some kind of anomaly within the Republican party but that simply is not the case.  I mean, this guy was chosen as their candidate for President in the next to last election.  That means enough Republicans (or, at least, enough of the Republicans that matter - the ones who really pull the puppet strings) thought he represented everything the party believes and stands for that he was picked as their '#1 guy' less than eight years ago.  Perhaps even more than the Obama vs. Romney nonchoice, the Obama vs. McCain election was proof positive that it really doesn't matter which side of the plug nickel we vote for as the 'differences' between the two major parties really aren't all that different.  McCain is simply confirming that fact, again.

over 5k rounds in my M&P40 and not one problem, BTW this is my duty weapon and we qualify 4x's per year.

If you know me, you already know what I am about to say but I am gonna say it anyways. John McCain? Fuck that guy.

I'm with you - I don't have to go through Chicago to get anywhere.
