We just got back from a trip to FL and had a great time, minus those damn toll roads every 15 feet.  Anyways, flew into Orlando and took a week driving down to Key West.  Coming back yesterday we had the best flight attendant that exists, he didn't fit the stereotype at all; a bit overweight, about 4 inches too tall for the plane and maybe late 40's to early 50's.  Anyways, he started in on the normal welcome aboard thing and the rest went something like this:   ----------------------- Ladies and gentlemen, I found a brown wallet here with some money in it, if you could look this way and ID it... ok thanks, now that I've got your attention we need to cover some safety things.   blah blah blah   We'll be flying over water so in the event our flight turns into a cruise and the pilot into our skipper, use your seat cushion as a flotation device and do not grab on to me because I can't swim.   blah blah blah   The masks will drop down automatically, put yours on first then help the people around you.  This happens fast, so if you're traveling with more than one child, decide now on who has a better chance at being successful in life   blah blah blah   There's a newly renovated smoking area in the plane, it's out on the right wing.  If you do make it out there alive, the movie playing is gone with the wind and there's a full service salt water bath waiting for you upon landing.   blah blah blah   Thanks for choosing us, my mortgage company thanks you, my coworkers thank you and again welcome aboard Southwest Airlines where we like you, but like your money more. -----------------------   Guy went on for about 20 minutes and it was the only time I've ever listened to the entire thing... He had the whole plane rolling, wish I would've taped it cause it would've went viral for sure.

Pour a little gasoline down the hole tonight and it will get them all. The fumes will get them, so you don't have to use much (less than a pint for sure). You don't have to set it on fire either.

I spent some time in the forge today, Ill be there all week getting ready for the upcoming gunshow. I made two small edc fixed blades. These were designed to be small utility knives, and if push comes to shove, work as self defense shivs.Both are made from 1095 Nichlson files. #1 2.75" blade, 5.5" overall. Flat ground, hand forged. Razor sharp edge, paracord wrapped handle ] #2 2.5" blade, 5.25" overall. Flat ground, hand forged. Razor sharp, paracord wrapped handle Then I decided to do something a little different. I didn't know if I was gonna like this or not. It has some hard angles, but I think I definitely like it. 5160 steel, hand forged. Flat ground. 6.5" blade, 11.25" overall. 5/16th thick. Paracord wrapped handle

If you are filled full of hate for Obama and anything to do with the government it’s pretty easy to believe anything. Government buying up all the guns and ammo, Obama building a private Police Force, whatever. It’s laughable. I would suggest that those that believe some of this non-sense must have their heads in the sand because the rest of us have our eyes open and have the ability to research this stuff instead of listening to Alex Jones. I can buy guns and I can buy ammo in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The people that are buying up all the ammo and reselling it are making it harder for me to find ammo at legitimate prices; but I don’t think they work for Obama.

Quite possibly the greatest fan video of all time. http://youtu.be/9nWjNgV_6yc

Uncle Tio cruising by ringing his bell is hilarious.

Hey, he's a Christian -- free ride in heaven, all sins forgiven, it's an all or none proposition, eh? - OS I can claim to be a gumball machine, doesn't make it so. I can't say one way or the other. That's between The Lord and him. Myself, I'd like to see someone arrange the meeting. Did I say that out loud?

It may be uncaring of me but I won't shed one tear for anyone who voted for Obama and is negatively impacted by Obamacare. - they are getting exactly what they voted for.

To paraphrase Groucho, I'm leery of any group whose standards would allow me as a member. :)   - OS

Here, this explains everything; Proud to be White ! I have been wondering about why Whites are racists, And no other race is...... Proud to be White ... Michael Richards makes his point... Michael Richards better known as Kramer From TVs Seinfeld does make a good point. This was his defense speech in court After making racial comments in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points... Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this?   There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc. And then there are just Americans.. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'... And that's OK... But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink .. You call me a racist.   You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you.... So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?   You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You have the NAACP. You have BET.... If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), We'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day, You would call us racists. If we had White History Month, We'd be racists. If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.   We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, And then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that??   A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, But any color can be in the Miss America pageant. If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists. There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US .. Yet if there were 'White colleges', That would be a racist college.   In the Million Man March, You believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, You would call us racists. You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, And you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, You call us racists. You rob us, car jack us, and shoot at us. But, When a white police officer shoots a black gang member Or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law And posing a threat to society, you call him a racist. I am proud...... But you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists?? There is nothing improper about this e-mail.. Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on. I sadly don't think many will. That's why we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS In this country. We won't stand up for ourselves! BE PROUD TO BE WHITE! It's not a crime YET.... But getting very close!   DaveS

The outrage will come when a city contract employee assaults or rapes someone on the clock, and it comes out later who they were. A that point the elected officials should be hung out to dry.

  It's California. That fact should explain any signs of incredible stupidity

Thoughts? This is a crap load of crap from crap town. I'm pretty tired of all the conspiracy crap already. It's crap like this that distracts people from the real issues this country is facing. Sorry Mike, not trying to be an a$$ and I know that your merely asking opinions. My opinion is this is crap.

I think that this desn't pass the logic test.  For starters we have to consider that the 1.6 billion rounds is spread out over a period of several years.    Lake city alone manufactures over 1.4 billion rounds a year themselves even prior to the ammo madness.  The U.S. ammunition market is huge.  Even taking the lowest numbers of US produced ammunition and assuming all 1.6 billion rounds ordered are supplied in one year it is still around 10 percent of the total  ammunition market.   The last estimate i saw with all factories running full steam ahead is roughly 1 billion rounds a week total in which case the DHS purchase would be around 3 percent of the total market.   Even if it was done with the intention of limiting supply the most the could hope for would to be to limit the supply over the short term.  AS with anything in capitalism demand will drive the market to produce more.  So even if the government created a false shortage eventually that shortage would be overcome by additional manufacturing.    I think given that Americans were buying up roughly 1 gun every 1.5 seconds has more to do with the ammunition shortage.  That's nearly 395,000 new guns sold in the US in the last 12 months.  All these guns require ammunition along with every other gun we own.  we are creating our own ammunition shortage.  The manufacturers know it and are putting out rounds as fast as they can.  Some may even be considering using this as their opportunity to expand while others are probably reluctant to do so because eventually the ammo bubble must pop.

I guess I will share...picked for $550. No tax or background. Private sale. The cheapest auction I could find on gunbroker for an IBM was 645 with 23 hrs left, so I know I got a steal, but I would really like to know what it could potentially be valued at (not that I would sell at this point...)

The Stages for our 17 August match are up on our facebook page - ORSA-uspsa and should be up soon at orsaap.com.   Lots of steel, lots of fun, perfect weather.  Come on out and join the fun.  New shooters always welcome.

I haven't seen too much glamorization of drug use or production in BB. In fact unless you consider the depiction of the lucrative nature of the distribution business as glamorous, the show is decidedly unglamorous in its storyline. The show has depicted the fall of, if not a good man, at least a decent man into a monster.

  Yep, years of living out in the country and slowly reclaiming lawn from grown up bushes and locust trees, I ran into many nests. Lighting the gasoline was always a reward for the stings incurred.   - OS

  There is a difference between believing in Christ, even truly believing in Him (whatever that means), and recognizing and accepting Christ as one's savior.  I don't want to turn this into a theology debate as this is not the proper forum, but there is a lot more to than just believing in Christ.

All he has to do is truly believe in Christ, which I believe he does. Hitler apparently did, too. - OS You apparently have a very confused understanding of Christianity, friend. Even demons know of Christ's existence, acknowledging that he exists does nothing for you

Also may be worth mention that this is not really a middle school musical.

Yeah, the first time he got skunked, a year ago, I used the Peroxide mixture and I expected it to have made him a platinum blonde, I couldn't tell the difference in his coat color, but I'm color blind and don't see shades very well.   It did make his skin all dried out and I had to use some kind of pet lotion on him.     I forgot to mention in my OP, that he is a Dachshund. So, the long story short is: I was looking for some love, but what I got instead was a small, stinky, wiener.   :stunned:   Yeah, we got a million wiener jokes in my house.

Sorry. I would HAVE to light it. It's just how I roll :)

A push mower works if you're so inclined. I've done that a few times. Start the mower and run it close to idle to keep the noise and fuel consumption down. Push it oer the hole, come back later. It will royally piss them off and they will just ground up like burger meat. They will come out of the hole because of the noise and vibration and attack the mower. The majority will never make it out alive, the rest will try to get back into the nest so they die coming and going. I like to lay a board over the discharge to help keep them in. I'm not a fan of gasoline. I watched a good size of ground explode from lighting it. So if you use gas, don't light it. My grandfart poured about a gallon down a hole once. He waited a good ten minutes and then poured a trail back about fifteen feet. When it reached the hole and chunk of ground the size of a basket ball blew out of the ground. Sure it was cool as heck but I was a kid sooooo...... Not as cool anymore being as I don't heal as fast as I used to.

I don't care if he was sky blue pink with purple spots. If we had a little less political correctness and a little more police protection, I think our streets would be a little safer.

How did you get pants and sandals on an owl?

  I didn't know that. I thought it was for standard race baiting and douchebaggery. Oh well, guess it doesn't matter now :)

No fire = No fun

The District Attorney in the Duke LaCrosse case was disbarred from practicing law.  His name was Mike Nifong. 

“Join or Die” They take their membership drives pretty seriously.

Yes, but if the unit detects a plate it can’t read, it sends out a small EMP that destroys all the electronics in your vehicle.

  Fixed the headline for you.

I prefer to use kerosene over gasoline, due to the fact that kerosene has a much higher flashpoint. Gasoline is just flat-out dangerous, and the fumes are more explosive than the liquid.

Ha, thanks for putting it into terms that is understandable to a wider audience.

Yeah shame on that guy. How dare we practice our second amendment rights? Until more people stop giving a shit what the sheep think, and care more about keeping their rights, then we will continue tonlose our rights at an astonishing rate. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I’m sure I hate Obama as much or more than you. But there is plenty of stuff to accuse him of without making stuff up. It makes him appear to be right and the accusers to look like fools when it is proven wrong.   The gun issue got Americans to take their eye off the ball; Obama wants to keep it going. Obama was going to help the economy and create jobs; he has done neither. But it is what it is; he can’t be reelected. We need to be focused on who is running next and how we will get our people to vote. I suspect that as in the last two elections we will be split while those living off the government are united.   BTW.. I didn’t say Murfreesboro was the epicenter of ammo; but I can get it if I don’t care what I pay. I’m sure I could get any components you want if price is no object; as I’m sure you could also.

The article I read said they were garnishing her wages. At any rate, for the rest of her life, every dime she makes, she will have to remember what she did and what she owes. I like the idea that this guys would forgive the 1/2 million she owes if she would just admit that she fabricated the whole thing. I'm willing to bet that when that offer went out all the race baiters jumped in to say they'll cover some of the tab; they couldn't bear the embarrassment of the truth coming to light. Of course, it wouldn't matter since no main stream media outlet would report it anyway.

  ...and a big enough fart will derail a train. The devil is in the details.

My BS meter is going off.

  We don't have rights at the expense of others.  That is what this is about.  As an employer I should be able to ask you anything that I think is relevant to hiring you.  Criminal background is relevant for any business dealing in money, which by definition is nearly every business out there.    I should be able to ask "may I do a criminal background check on you."  If the applicant says "no" then I should not have to hire him.  It's that simple.  Just like "do you use illegal drugs?"  If the applicant says "I don't want to answer the question", then I should have the right to show him the door.  It is MY business.  Not the convicted felon; not the city government's.  It's mine, mine mine mine mine that I have used MY money to start and MY money and hard work to make successful.  Why should I be told what I can and can't ask when hiring a potential employee?  Denying a job to someone doesn't infringe on anyone's rights any more than telling someone they can't come on my private property.  Telling an employer that he can't even inquire into a potential employee's past when it is relevant to the business is infringing on the employer's rights 100%.

  DOJ intervened and decided it was a cut & dry case of workplace violence and not attempted murder

Just say this to them.

I've NEVER understood the shotgun preference for HOME defense. Maybe I don't have a big enough house, but the 12 ga pump is only useful to me when I exit the house. I always sleep with at least a 9mm or better near the bed. I recently mounted a tactical light to the 12 ga, and that makes it much more effective at night.........OUTSIDE! But to get thru a house with doors and walls and various other obstacles, I move much quicker with one handgun and one tactical flashlight . And I've done enough tests with 12 and 20s to know the "SPREAD" at minimal distances is no guarantee you'll hit a moving target while you whole body is exposed to whatever caliber handgun might be aimed at your. How many Criminals carry shotguns to commit a armed break-in. I'm sure there have been a few, BUT Criminals are stupid! They do most anything! 'Cause their stupid!

I don't really see how barrel length should be an issue; at least not a critical one. There aren't many circumstances where one truly needs to go walking though his/her home with a long gun....unless you truly MUST clear your home or you need to get to loved ones, etc.  Every trainer I've ever trained with and I would bet 99% of all cops will tell you to wait for the cops to get there to clear your home and they are likely much better trained and equipped to do so than most civilians will ever be.   My SCAR and 12 ga are in my bedroom because that's what I consider to be my "safe room"...I'm going to be waiting for the bad guy(s) to come to me and if they do, they'll face something much more potent than any handgun of any caliber can be.   If I really do have to go clear my house, I'll be using my pistol (all my hd pistols have WML) but I'll have either my SCAR or my shotgun with me on a sling.

IMO, (and various others) using a firearm should be a last resort. And I would advise against making yourself a target. For both the BG and regular "sheeple".  But you want to open carry, it is your right to do either. I have thought about open carrying before. In the summer, with thinner and less easy to conceal clothing( aside from a holster shirt), I can see open carry as an option. Might since it is getting warmer, wear an untucked shirt over my holster.

Adding to what 101 said:   I make it a point to be unfailingly polite and courteous to people in town. Never EVER walk, talk, or act like a fool. Don't raise your voice or do something negative. Hold doors open. Smile at people. Act almost like you're running for office, minus the ridiculous politics.   I went to IL for business about a month ago and on the way back, OCed through Kentucky. We stopped to eat and I got a curious look from another person in the restroom. Turns out he was from IL and had no idea that people elsewhere could carry at all, much less OC. He was pro-gun. We ended up having a great conversation about weapons and target shooting. Now that he knows that he doesn't have to have a permit to OC in KY, guess what he'll be doing next time he passes through? :)
