It's not so much that spelling and punctuation is a thing of the past; more like stupid and lazy is at thing of the future.

So I got pulled over this morning for 58 in a 45. I handed the officer my license and HCP. He asked if I was armed and, if so, where it was. I told him I was and where the gun was. He didn't even blink. Ran my license and only gave me a warning. He was very professional the entire time and didn't freak out when he found out I was armed. It was a younger officer (my wife said he looked about 12  :pleased: ).    This Metro officer was very polite and professional the entire time. As good an experience as you can hope to have when getting pulled over for speeding!

I believe in God and this country. I'm not panicked. We'll rebound. We've simply had a bad run because too many people have believed too many lies from the democrats and republicans over the last thirty or forty years.

^ Nice buck I shot this one today: Rain quit about 7:30 and I left the rundown, critter infested, old house I holed up in and I went to slippin' through the woods. Eased out a ridge and peeked over the edge and saw a doe picking around on a little flat about 75yds below me. Hid behind a tree and glassed with the binoculars and could see another deer behind her. Waited a minute and he got clear, I leaned around the tree and a Federal Fusion .223 to the boiler room was all she wrote for him. Fun hunt. I don't get to do it much but the wind and wet ground was right for it today. Thanks to my Dad for teaching me how to slip around in the woods chasing squirrels.

So Barry, George, Bill and Jimmy all go to pay their respects to Mandela. The flags in the United States flags were ordered flown at half mast. I would not consider Mandela an  ally of the United States. What pisses me off is not one of the four living Presidents could drag their sorry asses to England to Margret Thatcher's Funeral. Obama sent George Shultz and James A. Baker two ex-secretaries of state. She was not just our staunchest ally, she was a true best friend to the United States. She and Reagan saved millions of lives with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of Communism in Russia. Our flags were not even ordered to flown at half mast after her passing, but mine did.

First off, thanks to all who gave me advice in my Mossberg Maverick thread. If you read it, you know my wife and daughter surprised me with the news that they were getting me a shotgun for Christmas. I added some money to it and came out with my new Remington Express Tactical 870 12 gauge! It has 18.5 inch barrel and 6+1 capacity. Here it is and I LOVE it!

.. passed away yesterday. One of my all time favs. Sigh, tick tock tick tock.   - OS

I hate 'text speak'. I also don't reply to text messages for stuff I have for sale, unless I specifically give someone my number and tell them they can text me.    In all the time I've been selling things, I can not remember one text message response I've received where the buyer has actually followed through. Now, I just ignore them. If you're actually interested, once you type my number into your phone push the little telephone shaped button and talk into it, instead of tapping away at 50 other keys.

 I can't believe this thread is dragon on........ :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

$90? Weren't they $40 or $50 not long ago?

  I don't remember reading where John Adams or Ben Franklin tied a tire around someone's neck and set it on fire.

I said another prayer for all the families of those that lost loved ones a year ago The loss of a child never goes away and yea it does ease slightly but never goes away. We move on with our lives with our lost loved ones still in our hearts. Today will be a trip to the cemetery to decorate my sons grave as I have done every year since 1990. The only thing that has changed is now I decorate my sons grave and my wife's grave also since 1997. Lost but never forgotten.

RIP, Mr. Billey.  :usa: 

Haha, we've had similar discussions before. Liberal is a descriptive term for a particular world view that conveys context without having to write an essay to establish a contrast. ;) Not necessarily intended as an insult towards you.   That being said the notion that Mandela brought peace is not even close to reality. I have friends who live on the outlays of South Africa and family that have traveled in the area extensively and that reality coincides with what my research, own time in Africa, and many other observers have opined.   As I have said before I think Mandela genuinely believed in what he was doing and had the best of intentions but that does not absolve him from the consequences of his choices. Just because he did not make it as bad as it could have been doesn't mean he isn't responsible for the genocides that continue after over 20 years of his government. He also didn't stop what was/is going on.   It's kinda like defending Hitler because he didn't kill as many people as he could have and applauding his restraint.

My wife literally JUST made me watch it! I don't know what happened with their cameras, but things got a little blurry toward the end for me. ;-) I'm similar to 380. My request would have been a yellow 97-98 Ferrari F355 GTB. :-D

Makes me have a little hope for this world. There are yet some decent ones left.   Merry Christmas to all!

  Oh yeah! I was very happy. My wife now things a HCP is a magic "get out of ticket" card.    Even if he had written me the ticket, he was professional and polite. Officers get a hard time when experiences are bad - I figured people need to know that at least some of them are doing things right!

Always remember this:   Everyone is a mixture of good and bad traits and pasts... I'm no Nelson Mandela fan; because of several things...   First, Mandela was, at the minimum, a socialist... I dont like 'em... period; but that's just me.... Secondly, Mandela has blood on his hands, no matter what people say... His actions incited bloodshead on both sides (...black and white...)... His wife, Winnie, was in fact the head of a shadow hit group that wantonly murdered opposition apparatchiks on both sides of the color spectrum...Mandela had to know about that...   Mandela's positive traits are notable as well; but the in no way (...in my opinion...) rise to the negative ones... Nelson Mandela had the bearing and the self control of a great man...That, alone, made his a giant to many; but those traits in no way can be used to ignore the darker ones and the carnage and destruction that it brought to south africa...   Take the time to read Newt Gingrich's statement concerning Mandela... Nelson Mandela was, in fact, unjustly imprisoned and persecuted and he endured that persecution, heinous as it was, with great dignity... Those actions won him the respect of many in the western world... He was seen by both black south africans and the rest of the western world as the "George Washington" of south africa.... The apartheid government was seen as being worse than satan himself....   As heinous as the aparthied "status quo" was in South Africa; it kept the country relatively prosperous and on a pretty even keel... Mandela's presidency and the "black majority rule" has brought nothing to South Africa except a downward economic spiral and lawlessness... The poor blacks that worked the diamond and gold mines are still poor and oppressed... Those who run the diamond and gold mines are still fabulously rich...   The sad news is that there is rampant lawlessness and political corruption in South Africa that simply wasnt there with white minority rule... The citizens, both old (...white...) and new (...black...) have traded the rule of law for corruption and murder on a vast scale... There is no escaping it...   Take the time to do a google search and you will learn that 30 or so striking black miners where shot dead by black South African policemen in a strike confrontation a few months ago...Their working conditions and lot in life is no better, some thirty years later, than they were under the white apartheid government...The difference is simply the color of their oppressors in government are now black....  Look a bit farther and you will learn that the white Afrikaaners and british landowners (...farmers...) are being systematically murdered in the most heinous ways by roving bands of black thugs "settling scores"; and their property is being confiscated by the present government... The women are being raped and dismembered and the men (...mostly old...) are being killed in the most heinous of ways... Not one of these murders has been solved; and many folks in all parts of the world believe that these "roving bands of murders", in fact, have the tacit approval of the government in this "ethnic cleansing" of south africa...   Nelson Mandela; that grandfatherly old Cheshire Cat smiling "Father of South Africa" is, in fact, responsible for this carnage and murder... That simply cant be denied... Having said all that; he has some other accomplices... They are the overbearing busybodies who ran the governments of the United States, Britain, and some lesser luminaries on the european continent... I well remember when we here in the united states obsessed with the rest of the world in pressuring the south african government into this "black rule" thing... The results were predictable and were foretold... As heinous as the apartied thing was in south africa; what they have now is just as bad; if not worse...   It's bad because those who were 'liberated" had no notion of liberty and responsibility in government... They were simply unequipped to govern themselves... They, in fact, proved the "white man's burden" thing that the british used to talk about... They were cursed with an army of political opportunists and demagogues that have made things worse for everyone in south africa; no matter whether white or black...   Nelson Mandela, along with the busybodies of the western world are directly responsible for this dismantling of a very prosperous country... I simply dont know whether the oppression of apartheid is any different from this new misery of the black working class and murder of the white minority in south africa.... The affluent, nosy, smartest guy in the room, sanctimonious, busybodies of the west have to bow down to the greatness and honor Nelson Mandela; they made him ... They have to to continue the myth that somehow they advanced freedom for the people of south africa; when the plain truth is that they have done just the opposite...   Ill grant that Nelson Mandela may have started his notable, world changing adventure with the best and purest of intentions... They simply didnt turn out well for anyone...   Ill end this little essay with a sobering observation... What happened (...and is happening...) in south africa is seen by some of this administration's operatives as a perfectly acceptable solution to "white rule" in this very country... It is my belief that this fact is the very reason for the notable absence of prosecution of black on white crime in of the bluer areas of this country... Thankfully the population ratios here are considerably different from south africa...   Elections mean things; if ya like the south african model, vote for more Barak Obamas; if ya dont like it; vote for someone else....   rememberin leroy

http://www.sacbee.com/2013/12/09/5986084/federal-judge-says-california.html   ROSEVILLE, Calif., Dec. 9, 2013 -- /PRNewswire/ -- In a rejection of California Attorney General Kamala Harris' stance on the rights of law-abiding gun owners, Senior Federal District Court Judge Anthony W. Ishii denied Harris' motion for summary judgement today in a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by The Calguns Foundation, indicating that California's 10-day "waiting period"gun laws are likely unconstitutional.   "The fact that a federal judge saw these laws for what they are -- baseless restraints on the exercise of a fundamental civil right -- is monumental," explained Gene Hoffman, Chairman of The Calguns Foundation. "California's waiting period laws for those who own guns is not Constitutional and this order really underlines the point." In his order, Judge Ishii said that Harris has "not presented sufficient evidence to show that the [10-day waiting period laws] passes either intermediate or strict scrutiny." About the laws being challenged in the case, named plaintiff Jeff Silvester of Hanford, California, said, "I have a license to carry a loaded firearm across the State. It is ridiculous that I have to wait another 10 days to pick up a new firearm when I'm standing there in the gun store lawfully carrying one the whole time." "This is certainly an exciting development in Second Amendment case law," noted Brandon Combs, an individual plaintiff in the case and the Executive Director of The Calguns Foundation. "If our Constitution means what it says, then California's gun waiting period laws have to be overturned and law-abiding people must be allowed to exercise their rights without irrational infringements." Regardless of the final decision at the district court, the case is virtually certain to end up at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and possibly even the Unite States Supreme Court. "Cases like this one will define the limits of government regulations on firearms and Second Amendment rights," said Combs. "We look forward to making sure laws like California's waiting period are properly scrutinized by the courts." Judge Ishii was appointed to the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of California by President Bill Clinton in 1997.

LINKS2K...I too agree. Some people say the "Country" part is gone. But I'm not ready to believe that. Sometimes I wonder what else can happen that would put us into panic mode or at least to a heightened state of immediate concern.

Didn't hunt this morning, but got out there at 2 this afternoon. Saw the same 3 today that I saw yesterday morning, this time it was around 4. Let'm walk again and kept an eye out for something following their path but nodda. It was still a good afternoon hunt. Dang, this season is going to be over and it just seems like yesterday that the Official Bow thread was started!  :down:  I want to hunt till February! But hey, coyote season (fawns dropping) isn't too far away. :rock:

Congrats! The 0350 is a superb folder designed to take whatever you throw at it. I carry mine often. [URL=http://s551.photobucket.com/user/gd2bntn/media/Blades/20131127_110428.jpg.html][/URL]

One of the legends of Country Music.

Seems he tried in The Desolation of Smaug as well

That I can agree with you on.

TMF, that was funny. Complete bullśhìt, but funny. The people who made that video are obviously limited. No imagination and the attention span of a toddler. I'd like to see more movies of this quality. Instead we get mostly rubbish. It's simply NOT possible without current technological abilities, to make a film that can equal a well written book, but Peter Jackson is getting closer than anyone ever has.

I like my 870...put an adjustable buttstock, magpul forend and an xs big dot over the factory pedestal...

  Probably OK if you don't have a name that is on state radar or marching though a park with the largest AK pistol you can find.

[quote name="mikegideon" post="1079245" timestamp="1387097561"]We can play the money games all day. Unless you have held one in your hands, you may not see anything but the money. I got one and put it on my rifle. Then, I got two more. Has nothing to do with precision. Has everything to do with not having a heavy horse dick wrapped around my barrel :). I'm not dissing every other rail out there. Just saying that the DD rails have lots going for them that you ain't gonna see unless you pick one up. It's a Glock vs. Taurus argument.[/quote] DD doesn't own the proprietary info on how to make a light rail. Are they the top of the pyramid, in my opinion yes, but you can get a great lightweight rail for a considerable discount. DD lite rail 10" - 12.1 oz $299 MI T-series 10" - 12.0 oz $169 I agreed the DD is awesome, but the MI is good too. I would rather sink the funds in a good FCG if budget is of any concern.

Here's your devil's advocate. If you were a .22 reseller and if you spent six hours waiting in line to try to buy .22 ammo to resell you deserve nothing but scorn and ridicule. Standing in line sniping ammo to resell shouldn't be a profit industry. If resellers hadn't been standing in line the guy who really needed the ammo might have been able to buy from the store instead of being subject to the greed of people with a surplus of free time to stand in line.

Tennessee has been working on this for over 6 months. They usually stay confidenential for a long time! TN is in the running for multiple firearm manufacturers at the moment!

Congrats! Nice shotgun. I love my 870.

Wait...there was shooting in this video?? Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

  Whelp, got an extra safety selector detent. Better build a new rifle.
