I grew tired of the bickering and petty nature of my business. Coming home every day stressed out. 34 years old and way to much gray hair to count. Life shouldn't be like that in my opinion. So I threw my resume off to a recruiter and PRESTO... less than three weeks later I've accepted an offer with a better title, pay, cheaper benefits.. and it's just right up the road!   Now, changing jobs as a family man is stressful in itself. It worries me that I'm leaving the enemy that I understand for the one that I don't. But honestly I feel like Peter from Office Space here with one week left to go. Think I'll leave early today and go clean my new gun :)   Fellow TGO'ers If you're overworked and overstressed, please don't drive yourself to an early grave. You weren't put on this planet to watch the bottom line of someone else's riches! At least not for someone who doesn't appreciate it. There's always something better out there, you just have to look.

     I guess I am kooky..and disgusting for sure..Our dog sleeps in bed with us..Oh the horror.. :rolleyes:    and I guess we are just ignorant and filthy...BUT..I rather be with my animals than a judgemental person..because my animals dont judge :)

You are an asshole.. seriously.. just take him back and shoot him?  Why would you even come on here and suggest that? he might be a dog and he might be a bit on the dumb side.. but he is OUR dog.. we  have an obligation to take care of him and care for him.. We love this dog and I would pay a helluva lot more to keep all our animals from suffereing... Now get out of this threat  if you cant be anything but nice.... jerk!!

HAH, get on reddit... 2 seconds later...

Wow. What are you driving? j/k lol

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..!!!!

  The previous post is correct, the paste lasts a LONG time. I bought a small tub(2-3 ounces I think) probably a year ago. Since then I've used less than 15% of the container. It really doesn't take much. I followed their recommendation about heating up the metal of the guns before applying it. It's not required but they claim it helps. I recently bought the liquid to see if I like it better. I haven't had a chance to try it yet.    Again, I don't know if it's any better than other products on the market but it's made in the U.S.A by a veteran and I don't have to worry about it being full of carcinogens so I'll keep using it for now. I do know that in the past the barrels of my Glocks would have a lot grime and lead build up that would be difficult to remove. Since applying this stuff one swipe of the bore snake usually does the job.

BG scouting through your windows at night, sees those eyes glowing and would probably mess himself lol!

...I'd GTFO as quickly as I possibly could.

Leave is leave regardless of the reason. I can guarantee they do not get free or some special kind of leave because they are gay. They are getting the same kind of leave as any other service member.   What is wrong with this statement? "It is now the department's policy to treat all married military personnel equally," I see nothing wrong with the statement or the policy.

All BS aside the rifle that sonny has for sale is one fine clean rifle and it already has a brake on it . It is a tac driver I know he let me shoot it . Not one malfunction or jam or ftf , for the money that he is asking is one hell of a good price , put it this way you will prob never ever wear it out , far as weight it's not that mutch diff of weight on the front barrel that you would even notice , if you don't get it I prob will . I have a LWRCI M6A3 and wouldn't mind adding his sig piston to my collection , jest a heads up Sonny is a stand up guy . Piston ar-15 is the way to go I have over 9,000 rounds down mine not the first hiccup , and it is a tac driver and I really mean a tac driver if you don't believe me ask peace and sonny even after 9,000 rounds and hardly ever clean the bolt group , it jest runs clean .

Take it with a grain of salt. I'm being honest when I say that I've fired more rounds through my issued M4s than 99% of the military. I have never had a malfunction caused by anything other than magazine failure, bolt breakage or a manufactured malfunction. If the weapon is properly maintained it will fire more ammo than you can carry. I've put thousands of rounds through one in a single day without relubing. It will work. The reason you see reports of widespread malfunction is due to operator error. I kid you not. Our military sucks when it comes to mentoring younger Servicemembers. For example, the story of Jessica Lynch's convoy has at least two of the weapons failing. I've seen more M16s fail than I can count. There is always a common denominator; no lube, and where there should be live there is dust... Lots of it. The problem is crappy NCOs not doing proper PCIs on their Soldiers. I'll use the M2 .50 cal as an example. It works great. I've used dozens of them over my military career. I've only come across one that had issues; it was a refurbish that was fresh. After a few thousand rounds it worked fine. All the rest worked so long as you knew how to properly head space and time it. Unfortunately, I see MOST convoys pull up to a test fire berm and experience multiple jams, because all they did was screw a barrel on, back off two and call it good. Then they call it a piece of 100 year old junk because it doesn't work. It does work. It's the operator that needs to be sent back to the assembly line. I get a little emotional about this one, because I know the truth and it pisses me off. It makes me mad that there are so many piss poor Soldiers and NCOs out there. When I hear a Servicemember who complains about his M16 (if it was issued after 1970, or whenever they fixed the issue with the chamber and the ammo) it tells me they were a substandard Soldier that did not properly maintain his equipment.

  I caught a really bad case of the "chirpies" from our pet bird and it was really hard to tweet? The wife was madder than a wet hen and wouldn't stop clucking about it...

somebody is jonesing for a repr! 516 is great.

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

I'll have it Monday. Until then, stock photo below. I figured, might as well get a knife that goes on a gun. :) Once I placed the order, I had to face the harsh reality that it won't fit on ANY of my AR's. So, I decided to build an A2 to go along with it. Problem solved! The rifle should be done sometime this week if the barrel shows up.

Excellent show I love this one and Mboro. Makes me feel stupid for ever spending more than a nickel on the nashville ass crack and bone handled knife, naZi junk gun show

Leave it to the rapper to be the reason they were caught.

Thanks for the input I went with the Rock River Coyote with a 20'' heavy barrel.

Sorry but ya can't beat the smell of Hoppes in the morning.

They even included a FAL for street cred... Nice.

so you got the rims n tires but the truck came with it right ;)

Yesterday evening i was out in the storage shed behind my house. While i was looking out a car pulls up to the stop sign by my yard as i live on a corner lot. They throw a bag of mcdonalds garbage out the window right into my yard. Now i ride my bike a lot and i knew exactly when this person stays or lives. Which is 3 streets over. Anyways i wait for night and ride my bike right over to his house and throw his bag of trash right in his driveway by his car. Was that wrong of me? Cause i felt justice when I did it.

Walmart off gallaherview Knoxville has thunderbolt small boxes

Im working with a local gun shop to setup survival and eventually tactical courses. Hopefully by next year Ill be helping run a course on tactical training. And the thought of putting money in the pocket of James Yeager pains me because he is an ass. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Excellent!  you're correct in that no one should feel stressed over work all the time.  I'm fortunate that my job is in demand in Contract Land and I plan on retiring Jan 2,3,or so and hiting the road for a while.  I can work 6 months out of the year and do just fine.  Then in a couple of years, cut the cord completely.

  In my thirty plus years of military and civilian government service, every oath I took was to defend and support the Constitution of the United States, not the constitution of a state, county, city or municipality. I do believe the U.S. Constitution supersedes state Constitutions and infringements imposed by lesser governments?

Damn Spots, I could have done without seeing that.

I like my dogs better than most humans. They sleep in the bed with us, and are probably cleaner than your average person. Just so you know, that simple animal doesnt wipe its ass, an act that a lot of people do then walk out without washing their hands. Id say your more at risk of catching something from a hand shake then a dog. But Im just kooky and disgusting so carry on. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I have left very few jobs and every single time it was a big decision. But I will say that in most cases you can find a better job than you have if you are patient and look. Better for some is pay, for others is is enjoyment and for others it is the benefits. For me it was, and almost always has been, for the enjoyment of doing the job. Doing a job I enjoy was my holy grail and I found mine eventually but it is also the one that forced me to "retire".   I have, on occassion, walked away from a job without a plan but I was lucky it has always worked out. I would never recommend quitting a job without a plan.   Glad you found a job a you like.

Congrats. It's always a gamble between the devil you know and the devil you don't know. I've done well to leave a job in the past when you hit that wall where it just ain't worth it anymore. It still is scary having to start over though.

If I were Mr Zimmerman if be thinking about leaving the country before the NAACP and the feds linch him. He's innocent but what does that matter to this administration?

  We would never.... :hijack:

I pretty much had the same experience. Luckily I had a .410 Judge with me, which instantly vaporized him.

  Thanks for complimenting all those kids, it will probably go straight to their heads.   After all, according to what you just said they do actually know something.

Here's an article which you may find enlightening about the Prepper business opportunities : Industries Making the Most Money on Doomsday Preppers 24/7 Wall St. As many as 3.7 million Americans are classified as preppers or survivalists. Being a “doomsday prepper” is not easy — or cheap. http://247wallst.com/special-report/2013/08/19/industries-making-the-most-money-on-doomsday-preppers/

I was nice enough to explain it to him. Didn't want to hear about him accidentally shooting himself when that sling melted through.

Well that's how you're you're supposed to do. I recall this brand new unit years ago that was just showing up in country. There was a E4 who carried the 249. He had fashioned a sling (nylon) that he wrapped the front end around the barrel, just north of the front sight. I asked him if he had shot it since he put the sling on. Obviously his answer was "no". Sometimes it amazed me how little some folks understood how to properly employ their weapons. This was an infantry unit, BTW.

Well, guys, something I have always want to do should be happening this year!  Elk hunting!  I should be going to Utah to go hunting with a new found friend.  He has been hunting public land for that last 13-20 years and has invited me to go camping and hunting for a week.  I have never been before, we are just going to camp and hunt on the public land.  I have never done that kind of thing and just wondering if someone on here has some experience elk hunting.  I have asked my new friend a lot of questions and don't want to get to the point where I annoy him.  How does elk hunting differ from deer hunting?  Do they have as good of a nose as a whitetail deer....?  If you have some advice let me know, I am very excited and I do realize that I may not come home with an elk, but know it will be a lot of fun either way.  planned hunt is the week of oct 5th, after the rut. 

The only sound advice I can give you is to NEVER use a .300 win mag with 185 grain Bergers. :) just kidding. My step dad and uncle did a few public land hunts out there. I remember them talking about the millions of miles they walked. Hopefully you have good knees and ankles. Good luck.

Cool.  I love watching deer cams.

  I have an SR9C, but I don't have a CZ. With that said, I cannot really compare them, but I will say that I love the sr9c as a carry gun.  I have no intentions of going with anything different at this time.  Although it a smaller gun, it points and shoots really well, and with an 11 rd capacity and a spare 17 rd mag, I have never felt like I would need more rounds.  In my opinion (which I will admit that I am a Ruger fan), these guns, both the sr9 and sr9c, are hard to beat for the price you pay for them.  I cannot tell you they are the best 9mm, because for one, I have not owned enough different 9mm to make that claim  and two, what is best for one person is not what is best for the next. 

I will add the caveat that if you are a couch potato, these are not the dogs for you. They need an active family and need to be well trained and given jobs or they will vent their energy elsewhere, and that's when the destruction begins. They are very intelligent animals and train easily but very active.

Nowadays you'll normally see standard issue being M68s, EOTechs and ACOGs.  There's some other stuff with SOF units, but that covers the vast majority.  Each unit is going to be different in what their SOPs are regarding optics.  Some may mandate optics, such as designated marksman having ACOGs and everyone else having an M68 on their rifle.  Others may let them put on their choice.   A long time ago, before many units even had M68s, you'd see all kinds of non-standard optics that Soldiers bought with their own money.  I've seen M4s with cheapo $50 Walmart scopes on them and that was the designated marksman for the squad... no joke.  Now most, if not all, active duty units have ACOGs and M68s; EOTechs are the next most common after those two.

When I was a kid this commercial was on all the time.  Of course it would probably offend somebody today.  :rolleyes:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7OHG7tHrNM

I bought a set of Pro Mag BUIS for my first AR. I didn't know much about anything AR at the time. Shortly after I learned that the Pro Mag AR mags were not Pmags, and started to question the quality of my flip ups made by them. This was three years ago. Never had an issue with them until three weeks ago. I let my friend shoot the rifle and after he emptied the mag, he turned to walk toward me and I saw something fall to the ground. It was the rear sight. I couldn't believe it. It was like it exploded, but nothing comes anywhere near contacting it. I'm sure they have some sort of warranty, but it would drive me crazy worrying about the quality, since your buis are what you depend on working when all else fails. Big deal for a range gun? Probably not, but I will be buying Troy or MI next time.

I remember when Saturday morning cartoons were funny.

  That's a great light. I have one. It will snap onto the rail of one of my Glocks, or one of my AR's. If you hit somebody in the face with the beam in a dark room, they're going to be blinded for a few seconds. Warning... don't shine it into a mirror :)

This is their culture. They are brought up to be shameless liars.

    I'd have to dig into their rules but it stands to reason that if you cant purchase a firearm if your currently under indictment for a felony then you wouldn't be able to process the sale of firearms while your under indictment either.
