Excuse me....but these things are very dangerous!  I felt something crawling on my leg one night, so I told my wife to turn on the light somethings crawling on my leg.  She turned on the light and I threw the covers back. There was a spider just like that sitting on my thigh.  My wife beat it to death with the alarm clock........I couldn't walk for 2 days and my thigh was bruised for over a week..!!!!

Your lucky it was on your thigh !!  :squint:

I actually like all of the wolf spiders around here, they keep the population of all of the widows & recluses in check.

Hardest call to the police, ever.

Now, if they just start doing it at Midway USA and BladeHQ, I may actually save some money :)   By the way... good post. OhShoot should get a double discount. He's older than Billy Graham.

Took my FX45 to him due to a good amount of recommendations here, had some cases FTF, trigger was heavy and had a rough spot in the pull.  Basically went in and said  "do to this whatever you would do if it was your personal carry gun" sort of putting some faith in it since I never even heard of the guy before.  He explained that some of the internals on these 1911's use on surface hardened parts, so he wanted to replace all of them, do a new trigger, bit of barrel work and just give it a good massaging.   Got it back the other day and went to the range today and holy smokes did he just do a fantastic job!  I've shot a few higher end 1911's before and outside of a pure competition gun, I would put this up against any of them at any time.  We put 500-600 rounds through it with a lot of rapid firing just trying to get it to act up and not even a hiccup.   He seemed to be pretty straight forward and did let me know there is a design flaw on the gun, where the grips are soft and so thin, they rub against the trigger bow if squeezed hard.  Said that can be fixed with a set of hard grips, so it wasn't a big deal.   If you all need any 1911 work, Tim comes highly recommended and he done such a good job on this one that he'll be getting every bit of our future business.  

Picked up a new boston terrier the other day, hadn't had one for a few years and sort of miss having the little snorting things running around the house. Took all of about 10 minutes to make herself at home and take possession of the couch.

I care because 18 year old kids care, and they mean wayyy more to winning games than any head coach. Lets face it. Kids are picking programs because they have Nike or Under Armour, as an Adidas school we have to move forward at the same pace. Kids don't know the Tennessee tradition that everyone is used to from the 80s and 90s. We have sucked for the better part of a decade. We have to rebuild the tradition.

Certainly in Cocke county you could find something with a local flair.

I think you're just loading them to light. Your slide isn't getting all the way back before returning forward. So you end up with a loaded round and an empty case jammed together. You can use your barrel out if the 1911 as a temporary chamber gauge

I've been on here since 2007 and I read everyday, but don't post very often.  Decided to become a benefactor finally and I hope more of you will do the same!

Further into the segment, O'Reilly comments on the Oprah Winfrey/Swiss sales clerk incident. I don't agree with his assessment that minorities have it tougher in America than whites. That used to be the case, but not anymore. Minorities are given preference in almost every aspect of life nowadays, from hiring to qualifying for student loans, to say nothing about the preferential treatment they get in the criminal justice system. So, on that account, O'Reilly is flat out wrong.   I do, however, agree with his comments about Al "Resist We Much" Sharpton. The man is nothing more than a race pimp.

No one will care what they wear as long as they           :rock:   WIN  BABY :rofl: :no1:

Yesterday I went to Knoxville for work.  Things went faster than normal so I had a few minutes to kill.  Went to Gander Mountain to take a look at some guns, ammo, and reloading supplies with the ideal of I might buy something.  Got the "got to have something new" thing going on for about a week now.  Not knowing what I want, just want to look to see what catches my eye.  Now, it has been several years since I have been in one of their stores and it did not take me long to remember the reason why.   Prices!!!  They are proud of their guns and ammo.  I don’t see how they stay in business.  Yes they got a good selection, but who is going to pay the price.  Need to say that "got to have something new" feeling went away fast and a bad taste came in my mouth.  So on the way back home I made a stop at Fugate Firearms to see the gang and to get the bad taste out of my mouth.  Looks like it will be several more years before I go back into a Gander Mountain store to kill sometime.  I am going to put them in the same box as Benton's Shooters Supply, a store to stay out of. 

I was slow, kept trying to make something of HU Fourteen, doh.   Abbott and Costello routines still ring a bell with the under 30 crowd I wonder?

Politicians and the anti’s have quit talking about “Gun Control” and have changed the term to “Illegal Guns”. WTF is an illegal gun? Even fully automatic weapons are legal if you pay the tax. We already have laws that make it a crime to steal a gun. Many states even have laws specifically addressing firearm theft.   They don’t want to address “illegal guns” they want to ban guns from all people; both law abiding citizens and criminals. If someone wants a gun to go commit armed robberies they aren’t going to care how they get it. If they can’t buy it they will break into houses until they find one to steal.   “Gun crime” is just crime. How is an armed robbery at gun point any worse than at knife point, or even a brutal physical attack?   Suicide is suicide. Why would it make a difference if a person used a gun, shut the garage door and started the car, or hung themselves?   Sandy hook and the movie theater shootings were not “illegal guns” or even guns that were obtained illegally.

Used Life Alert for my parents before finally moving them to assisted living. Fortunately they never had to use it but was glad they had them just in case. Was able to get out of the contract when they moved to A.L. Also had the Life Alert smoke detector.

His name is Tiger. He has been in the neighborhood for some time. His people moved a few streets away and took him with them. He kept coming back to the old neighborhood and finally he was too wild. We had been feeding him since, he wouldn't let anyone within five feet before he would run away. Recently we noticed he was injured with a wound to the face from a fight. We had been in contact with the Feral Feline Friends and they had provided a trap to try and capture him. The trap wasn't needed. Three weeks ago he was on our porch and allowed my wife to scoop him up and bring him inside. The Feline Friends arranged for neutering and medical care for the next day. They removed the hanging skin and gave an antibiotic shot. Advised antibiotic ointment. Three weeks later, he seems to be settling in. He enjoys jumping into laps and demanding attention He also enjoys rubbing his head on necks and chins.

I remember helping my mom stick S&H Greenstamps into a booklet, and saving them up, taking them into the local redemption store. I don't think they even have those any more.   I remember the hottest TV show was the Six Million Dollar Man. Now the star is hawking hearing aids or something, on TV.   You used to have to get a licence to operate a CB radio.   Banana Seat bicycles, with a playing card clipped to the forks with a clothes pin to make it sounds like a motorcycle.   Anyone remember the electronics sets that had a bunch of electronic parts on a board with little springs attached to them. They came with a hundred wires and you would clip them into the springs and make something, like a radio. 

   I'd say your friend at the range is steering you in the right direction. If they will chamber, fire and sometimes extract then your most likely not loading them hot enough to make that gun function.

He deserves a refund for the extra 300 lbs he paid on the shipping..!!!!  :rofl:

Any time I get a chance to throw some Betty White in a thread, you know it's going to happen. BAM.

I'm just glad you're still here with us.  It always makes me feel good to see folks from the early days still posting and enjoying the site.  :)   The fact that you chose to go above and beyond that and help us keep the lights on is just icing on the cake.  And thank you for that.

I have two Boxers some very smart dogs try this place http://www.mtbr.org/

While its well know that fashion works in a circle, it may be time to let those bad boys go sir. ;)

  28?  I have older neckties!!!  :devil:

The only part of this post with which I disagree... We are already WAY too crowded.

That's like asking if the child has a right to non-idiot parents. Sure he does, but that's not what he's gonna get. I feel bad for kids whose parents give them dumb names, but setting a precedent where the court makes that choice for you is a subjective slippery slope.

I don't ship stuff very much, but the few times I have lately, it has been pretty steep. I think shipping has gone up due to the economy and fuel prices. I don't doubt Midway's fairness in their shipping prices. They did give me a break recently, though. I made an order online. A couple hours later (literally), I thought of something else (.300 BLK dies) and checked to see if it was on stock. They were, so I called to see if I could add them to my order. They had already pulled my order. But he offered to ship me the dies at half the shipping cost since they were pretty scarce at the time. I took him up on that. The more business I do with Midway, the better I like them. I doubt that any company can exceed their level of customer service. Brownell's is close, but based on my experience, Midway has the best CS of any company (gun-related or not) I've encountered. Will

The exact shooting range qualification has never been onsite there, unless there's a new addition I didn't see. It used to be 12 rounds each at 3,7,15 yards, and 12 at instructor's discretion at B-27 target (24x45") 70% hits in circled area, though apparently some instructors counted anything on paper at all. It has changed some now, with smaller target/shorter distance, scoring is slightly different, but pretty much same thing in essence. In short, it's a piece of cake unless you've never shot a handgun before, and vast majority can pass even if they haven't. - OS

Contacting a lawyer after being involved in a shooting is certainly a good idea. Hiring a person injury specialist to fire a lawsuit 8 months after he fact does not appear to be a "preemptive strike". The Complaint contains the Plaintiff's factual basis for filing he lawsuit and it claims the caller did not adequately inform him of the risk involved in responding. In essence, it claims that a 911 caller has to make some evaluation of the actual danger a situation poses to first responders. It is not claiming that the caller purposefully withheld information, just hat she didn't explain the situation better. Second, this isn't LEO bashing. I look disfavorably on both this particular LEO and the lawyer who filed it. But lately, I continue to see some people on this board immediately blame the lawyers for these toes of lawsuits. I can tell you that 99.99% of lawyers would not file a suit like this. That was the only purpose for mentioning at all.

I was figuring at least 1 year on the golf course and a few million dollar vacations during his pursuit for tyranny.

This may likely have been posted before, but this little recently rediscovered homemade film of a spontaneous parade in Honolulu (August 14, 1945) is worth watching! Audio on will add to the experience! Here is the link - http://vimeo.com/5645171

You could also sell them to reptile stores to feed their snakes!

It's going to be a Scarface ending. Gilligan has said as much. For me it is the best show I have ever been invested in, and I am 40. In regards to boobies, watch the pilot on the DvD. There were definitely naked boobies. The cougar Jesse was sleeping with when he climbed out the window shows them boldly, but it was unnecessary. It says a lot that the show is so highly regarded and there are no "sexy" people in it and no "f" bombs.

I don't think it was a D move at all.    I was standing on my porch once and a neighbor walked up with his dog. I wave, he waves back. Then his dog proceeds to take a massive dump in my yard. I'm thinking, "ok, no big deal, surely he will pick it up".    Nope, that ass just kept right on walking. I was so mad I picked up the crap with a plastic bag and followed him to his house. I made it all the way to his doorstep then chickened out. I was going to either smear it on his door or just leave it there on his porch.   My conscience got the better of me but I still regret not leaving it there.   Fast forward to now. I'm a dogowner and a first time homeowner. I always pick up after my dog and it's really pissing me off that people keep letting their dog crap in my front yard.

400 rounds of 230 Grain Remington Golden Saber through her, observations: This is the only 1911 I have owned that does not like CMC Power Mags, 2 CMC power mags, 2 failures (stove pipes) Wilson Combat 47D, absolutely Flawless Baer Mags, all 3 included, all flawless I have always liked the Wilson 47D mags but my other Les Baer pistols did not, they run like a Swiss watch in this SRP so I will be buying some more I have about 8 to 10 CMC power mags that I will be parting with I also ran 40 rounds (5 Magazines) of 230 Grain Hornady TAP FPD and this is the ONLY 1911 that I have owned that would feed that stuff reliably, tried it in my Browns, Nighthawk, Wilson Combat and the 3 Thunder Ranch special Les Baer pistols and all of them choked on this ammo, I absolutely love this pistol and trust it to carry now

Last time I bought a gun at Walmart, they escorted me out. I ask the lady " why are you carrying a unloaded 22 for me when I have a 45 on my hip and a 9mm in my pocket". I thought she was gonna croak. Lol

For the benefit of the OP (and everyone else I guess).... A prosecutor, if they decide to charge will use EVERYTHING against you, what kind of ammunition you used, what type of firearm, whether you altered your firearm (little skull end plate on your Glock, etc), what you were wearing, your training, your lack of training, how often you practice and how often you don't, and EVERYTHING you've ever posted to an internet forum/social media site. The prosecution will use all those things and more as weapons against your claim that your used of deadly force was justified. If you take training courses multiple times a year they'll say you were just a murderer honing your skill so you could go out and kill someone; if you don't train they'll say you were an accident looking for a place to happen because you didn't train sufficiently to use your weapon or how/when/why to use your weapon.   It will be YOU and YOUR ATTORNEY's responsibility, along with very expensive expert witnesses, to educate the jury and to counter everything the prosecution will throw against you and if you or your attorney or your experts screw up you'll go to jail even if the shoot was completely justified.   Hopefully, if you ever have to use deadly force you won't be charged but you might be even if you were totally justified in your actions and did everything exactly correct.  So, don't just be prepared to defend yourself, be prepared for the potential aftermath as well.

  You have 30 posts.  You don't get to tell people to relax.

You wouldn't have to retake the class if you had a current Kentucky CCDW permit.  Kentucky and Tennessee have reciprocity.  I moved here from Kentucky in 1997 and simply paid the fee, got fingerprinted and waited for them to mail my HCP to me.     <-- I was wrong about this part.  Outdated info.  My age is showing.   By the way... the roads run both ways between Tennessee and Kentucky.  Since it's better up there and all that.

Gas was $0.32 in high school, saw my dad buy it for $0.18 when I was about 10-12. I remember when Mickey Dee's had the golden arches and it was an outside only joint with some tables outside and they hadn't sold Billions then. I gladly remember pre cell phone days, ah yes!! The cell phone will be my first deletion of my pending retirement. I will tell all if you want me call the house and leave a message as I plan on fishing, shooting, hunting, and doing sumphin else!! Where did all the years go my friends?? I definitely would have taken better care of myself if I had known I would live this long. LOL

It has a five shot rotary magazine, so pointed bullets aren't a concern. They were also made in 308. If you consider sub M.O.A. accurate, the 99 fits the bill. I feel that a detachable magazine is nothing more than something you will eventually misplace, or at least forget and leave at home.

I vote AK. They're more accurate than people give em credit for.

Sounds like its time to make some phone calls. Get me a name and phone number and I'll pass it to a few contacts along with the flyer info. They will push it on facebook and usually generate several thousand angry phone calls over this shit. I'm sick and tired of public schools pushing their liberal agendas. Its time to let them know what we think and to tell them we are not happy. Tapatalk ate my spelling.
