The events mentioned bring home a sad fact: the Republican Party is self-destructing. I was a Republican right up until Newt Gingich got in bed with Bill Clinton. Since then I have had nothing to do with either party. The Democrats are too populist and Socialist for me ( I am a Free Market person). The Republicans are no longer GOP but Neoconservative. They are too plutocratic to be Free Market.   We are in the same mess Germany was in the 1920’s: you have a choice between Socialism and Fascism. Neither party has any desire to govern this country, they just want the power to rape the middle class. Both parties have sold out to the super-wealthy. The Democrats have too many faults to even start listing here. I have no intention of becoming a Democrat nor defending them.     The Republicans however, have acquired some glaring faults: They claim to be moral and Christian, yet they marry three and four times. They cheat publicly on their wives. They have been caught lying and cheating to win elections. Their children are Lesbians and Homosexuals. They claim to be Free Market Capitalists, yet they operate through crony capitalism (dangerously close to Fascism!) thereby discouraging true capitalism. They scream about liberal bias in media, yet they also run blatantly obvious propaganda mills, full of lies and half-truths. They are not the lesser of two evils, they are one of the two great evils, neither of which is fit to govern.   Answer? I don’t have one. The two parties have seized the government and have too much power to unseat. We are going to have to live with the obvious, rule by the People is a myth.

  I'm guessing you might have to fight your way past a Janet Reno face and some hairy legs. Gonna require alcohol. :)

Haven't you seen any movies? Clearly anyone that fought for the Confederate States was just a spawn of Satan.... Pure evil. Surely the hundreds of thousands of dirt poor farmers who died in battle willingly gave their lives so the wealthy could retain their slaves. Just like every last Union Soldier was concerned only with abolition and was willing to die for it. Isn't that what the war was all about?

[quote name="TrickyNicky" post="1093602" timestamp="1389494422"]I just realized she talks alot about "PIV". Took me a minute to realize what the heck that even was, but once it dawned in me it all became clear. Guys she doesn't hate men or ####. This is simply her way of expressing a particular fondness for "PIA". I say whatever floats your boat but don't get all about it.[/quote] Not gonna lie. I had to google PIV. I guess she prefers PIA and probably even some ATM. (Dont google those lol) Tapatalk ate my spelling.

OK, I went back, I went over that truck for an hour. Yes, I even crawled under it.   I took it for a test drive and then checked under it again after I got it hot (well normal drive temp.)   I signed some papers on it and I need to visit my credit union Monday.   I will post more when I get it home.

Of course if you reload, you can load .357 brass light and have lighter recoil, lower cost and avoid any cylinder build up. Having said that, I shoot mostly .38 special since I have more brass than .357 brass.

Not sure about anything out that way, Dave.. But I will say that you'll never regret a trip to SMKW if you've never been there.

Sounds like she just needs some ####. No wonder she's so angry.

Plain. The only thing Ive found that serrated works better for is if your cutting lots of rope constantly. I can sharpen a plain blade in about 10 min no problems, and they will slice nice and clean through most materials. If its for self defense a sharp plain edge is better as a cleanly sliced artery or vein will stay open and bleed where as a ripped one will close up and clot faster. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

One real concern remains the wording "privately owned vehicle"...are leased vehicles covered under the legislation?  What about a rental vehicle while yours is in for repairs?   To me, and I suspect to most thinking human beings, unless a vehicle is stolen it's "YOUR VEHICLE" while you are using it just as your hotel room is YOUR HOME and has the same protection under the law as the house you live in.   Frankly, much of what is wrong with the current legislation and the whole "parking lot issue" would be solved if TN law made it clear that a person's vehicle (owned, financed, leased, rented or borrowed) is a legal extension of your home and deserving of the exact same protections. Therefore, you can have anything in your "home" at any time provided it's something that is "legal" to possess in the first place.

Let's face it, there are a lotta folks with inferiority complexes who don't like cops. They don't like that there are people who have authority, so these idiots construct a scenario where they aren't breaking the law yet they know their actions will draw the attention of law enforcement, so this gives them an opportunity to tell an authority figure to pound sand.

Yep. You just got the reasons in 2 posts. Cheaper and less recoil. That pretty much covers it.

In the video the guys says getting stopped by the cops is "bullsh*t. So is what he's doing in my opinion. If you don't want stopped by LEO and checked out, stop O/C AR 15s (and other guns for that matter). Some day in the not so distant future we're going to lose our rights to O/C any firearm whether they are unloaded or not, no matter what our constitution says. Remember when it comes to "law makers" all it takes is a motion, show of hands and an ink pen and our lives can be changed dramatically. Some gun owners are a bigger threat to our 2A rights than the government is.   Dave

Any of the small Helle knives would work lovely.  Very nicely made with quality sheaths.  I wear a Odel constantly.   http://www.helle.no/products/knives/   Here is a little Nying.  Very stylish...   http://www.helle.no/products/knives/nying/

That's why we should bring the issue up ourselves. Out of nowhere, bring up a bill to repeal some small part of federal firearms law, just to bring the issue back up and actually take a dang proactive stance on gun rights. Just to stick it in their craw...

This is why I don't mind getting getting dressed up to go to Target.

That’s why cops will always respond to a man with a gun call; it will never stop no matter what the courts do. Idiots like this guy and our local idiot that pulls this kind of stuff will cause open carry to be banned before the cops are forced to wait for someone to lose their life before they act.

What a punk. Of course they are authorized to do it. Quit wasting everyone’s time being an idiot.

Yes, really. Is he as bad as drug dealers or pimps, no, but there's definitely room under the banner for people like him. The kind of crap like he does in this video makes him feel like a big shot for a minute, but look what it cost the citizens in the state of CA. Like DaveS said, our rights are a vote and a signature away from being taken away. People doing what this guy did got so old that police chiefs across the state of CA got sick of it and asked for the OC law to be rescinded. The state legislature abided and the governor signed and *poof* every law-abiding gun owner in the state got screwed. Betcha they think guys like this are scum too.

Consensual rape is the same as assault with a friendly weapon.... Aggravated sexual assault is breeding to produce meh u know .... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 of course it ate my spelling.

Took a much better picture. And Raoul we need to get together and do some shooting. Thanks for the compliments fellers. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Best test...if you are satisfied with it, and it sounds like you went over and under it. Be happy with it.

So I took my daughter's friend out hunting for the first time ever today. She was so excited to go and I was glad to take her. She wanted to go with me and my daughter in the morning but had other family plans. We got to the woods about 2 pm and climbed in the stand. About an hour and a half and saw nothing but squirrels. I turned to my left and 25 yards away in some thick brush. I nudged her and got the rifle in her hands and then the w....a....i....t....began. That doe didn't move for probably 6 or 7 minutes which seemed like 45 with me helping her hold the rifle up while whispering "stay still, don't move". My heart was thumping through my coveralls, I was so excited thinking that she could be only moments away from killing her first deer on her first hunting trip! It finally moved....2 steps...lol I was about to die and my arms were starting to shake. Not counting the fact that I was dipping and needed to spit something fierce but knew that was out of the question till this deal was done  :rofl:  So we wait, it moves a few more steps, and this process is repeated for almost a half hour. The wind was swirling but we had scent reducing showered and sprayed, so she smelled something but not enough to have her really freaked out, just cautious. The doe finally walked behind me and I had her stand up and was helping stabilize the rifle above me and knowing the sound was going to be loud when she shot, but worth it! Then the doe turned around and walked right back where she came from in the same method....HOLY HECK! It ended up never giving her a shot, but lemme tell ya, she was sooooooooooooo excited and what a way to start a new hunter, with excitement like that. Later she said "I really hate that I didn't take the shot when she was behind you". But not only did my left ear thank her, but I thanked her and commended her for being patient and not taking a shot that she wasn't sure of. Pretty SMART girl!  All in all, she said she can't wait till next year and wants to start with me during bow season. So now, I'm getting my daughter ready for the hunt in the morning, and a buddy of mine is sitting in his blind with my nephew to give him a chance to hunt for the first time! God, I love this stuff and thankful for your blessings! And I love to be able to share this with my TGO family!!!

I just sold a Colt Detective Special today that a collector would have turned his nose up at, but the finish was decent enough to get a good price.  If you can shoot the heck out of them and still make a profit on re-sale, you're doing good. 

  You really need to lap the receiver and bed the extension. I've done 3 of CMT uppers so far, and all 3 needed it IMO. I'll do it for you if you want.

wow.. just wow.. unbelievable..

That is awesome.    Off topic, but I am always amused by the people that bitch about PSA customer service turnaround times (especially on Slickguns).  Yeah, they are slow...but there is an old saying, "1) Cheap, 2) Good, and 3) Fast.  You can choose any two, but you can't have all three."  If they hired a bunch of people for customer service and fulfillment, they will have to raise prices to pay them.    Cheap and Good = PSA (not too many others I can think of THIS good and THIS cheap) Good and Fast = Daniel Defense, BCM Cheap and Fast = Model 1, Bushmaster, DPMS from Walmart.

My 357/38 revolver doesn't care what's going down the pipe. My wallet does. I try to alternate between the two so I don't get a 38 ring in the cylinder. The gun is heavy enough that recoil isn't an issue with either.

Welcome from another Memphian.

I picked a 357 pistol over a 38 thinking I will practice using the cheaper 38 ammo.  Most of the time I usually pay a little more and shoot the 357 ammo.

The 38 special is going to be a shorter round than the .357 so you well get some build up at the end of your cylinder. This sometimes makes the .357 rounds a little harder to load. I just make sure I clean the cylinder bores and look to see if there is any build up. I shoot 38 special in my .357 often but it's not as much fun as a full house .357 load.

I agree with the Bubba comment they need to be saved.  I would look around on milsurp forums to find rifles in as original condition as possible.  I think matching is key.  Know what you are looking at before you buy it, ask questions, study up.  Remember the worst thing you can do to an old milsurp firearm is to "restore" it.

Me I would say as far as the function of parts, get them repaired but I like guns with some character to them.   Now don't get me wrong, if I get one that has been Bubba'd then it needs to be brought back to an original type condition.   But that's just me.

Less cost and less recoil are the advantages of 38.   Recoil really depends on the wheelgun. In a S&W 28, it doesn't really matter. In my 360M&P (airweight, snubnose j-frame), the difference in recoil matters. 357 magnums are just not alot of fun in a lightweight revolver.

If I can mess up a Glock with a Dremel I can mess up a 870 with one no problem. lol Looking forward to a range report.

Good work, hope its good to go now. Probably just saved yourself a lot if wait time without your gun if you'd sent it back. Can't wait to hear your range results!

Hope that takes care of it, let us know.   - OS

Yeah, now 2 ar 15's, 1 ak 74, 1 C93. Does this ever end? I feel like heroin might be cheaper.

Hmmm, assault rifle????? Let me see. The use of assault in this manner is a verb. A verb is an action word. So if I use my Daisy Red Rider in a attack on someone, does that make my bb gun a genuine assault weapon. I guess by definition, yes. So any weapon, knife, fists, tool, rolling pin, etc. that are used in attack on someone is considered an assault weapon. But hey I am using logic and Webster. The media and the left can use and twist what they want to fit their agenda! The word gun used in a sentence is just naked and mundane, but when it is coupled with the word assault or the word deadly it gets attention, but I don't think the gun itself changed one bit. Just drama for the uninformed and dumbed down Americans I suppose. [url=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/assault_zps2030fc38.jpg.html][/URL]

I agree with chances R and  over the years I have had people ask me if I could or would actually shoot another human being?  I sometimes won't answer and other times depending on who is asking the question I will answer. In most cases it is someone that knows I have an HCP but does not know me all that well and don't know my history. As far as killing another human being. I spent 4.5 years in Vietnam so killing a human being was almost a way of life depending on your circumstances. Mine called for and required it if I wanted to come home and not in a pine box. When I tell a person that killing a human being is not something anyone that is just not an evil person never chooses to take another persons life. During my life as a military person in a war zone did not have much choice. I can still remember the first person I killed like it was yesterday. I can remember killing the last person I killed like it was yesterday also. Would I kill again? Not unless I had no other option but yes I would if I had to. Everyday when I wake up I hope and Pray that i have another uneventful day of not needing to use a firearm. I think everyone here that has been in the military and served in a live action war zone can relate to what i am saying. This may be a little off topic but I think it fits a little.............jmho

So 4 cops are taken out of rotation, on heightened alert status cause a jack-off wants to walk around with a rifle and handgun for no reason. Guy couldn't wait for his truck, how long does it take to wash a vehicle in Cali? Walking away and yelling to random people like he demonstrated or enlightened them somehow. Those citizens probably called the cops about the idiot. I understand the handgun, but the rifle was for cool factor I guess. Every car wash I been to you are able to keep 100% visual on your ride while it's being washed so the rifle could have been kept in the truck safely. Tired of these guys chasing 15minutes of fame on the net.

I advocate always trying to retreat and avoid confrontation if possible and one can do so safely.  Just because you have a gun does not make you the automatic winner.  However, when one does not have a choice, hopefully, the bad guy suffers the consequences of 'poor victim selection'.

  [sarcasm] So does that mean if you are forced to used deadly force to prevent some low-life from carrying out a home invasion buglary at your home do you reckon it would be okay to just stop by the next business day and file a report?  After all, if the assailant - the would-be home invader/burglar - is dead then it is no longer a 'life-threatening' situation, right?  I'd hate to see the Sheriff's Dept. wasting time on an investigation. [/sarcasm]

  OK, we're fixin' to put this sucker together, as soon as GuitaRx can make it across the creek.

I've been carrying an Izula in a pocket sheath from knives ship free a lot lately. Works great in both the front and back pocket and keeps the knife upright. Sorry for the crappy pic.

I suspect that the county's refusal to budge will hurt them FAR more (financially)  than it will hurt the gun show owners/promoters. 

  That is Super Shooter Dalton Wilson!  He's just a great example of a Jr shooter!

All cities should rename MLK Blvd. Usually where violence is happening in most of them. And he is "a dead man, we need to focus on the living".

Figures. Lets just forget our history...
