There is virtually no reason for the police to do stops with unmarked vehicles...  Maury County Sheriff should make an announcement tomorrow that his deputies will never pull somebody over for a traffic violation in an unmarked car.  Any attempt to pull a vehicle over without a marked unit in support should be assumed to be an impersonator.   There just isn't enough reason to have 'under cover' officers in plain clothes performing traffic enforcement in any TN county to offset the risk.

  I was flagging the ammo before, but now I like to have fun with it.  I now try to get them to meet by showing a lot of interest and, in some cases, offering a little more if they drive to meet me.   The guy that was selling the .22 ammo in Knoxville, i.e. 1200 rounds of Winchester for $200, told me he would even throw in another 100 round box for $200.  I now have his Name, Phone Number and email address.  I'm not doing anything with this information besides having my own file of a$$holes.   I had one guy drive up from Cleveland, TN and meet me at Gander Mountain parking lot in Turkey Creek.  The only reason I know it was him was I had his car description, so I would recognize him.  Normally I just don't show up, but that day I decided to go out for lunch.  I went to GM and saw him and his car in the parking lot, waiting.  I just went in GM and looked around.  He called me after a few minutes and asks where I was, so I told him I found a better deal and that I didn't need the ammo anymore.  Needless to say, he was a tad upset.  I received a few strongly worded emails, but that is why I use a throwaway email account to mess with these guys.   Maybe I need to add myself to my file of a$$holes.

Cool, and possibly dangerous. Making it more cool.

I trust that isn't a live HE warhead.  :panic:

not.   http://www.worldaffairsjournal.org/blog/michael-j-totten/truth-about-che-Guevara   I know a lot of young people who refuse to understand what a monster this jerk was.   I despise the t-shirts of him.

I got this bad boy while I was grilling out on my back deck. About 20 yards. I always have the trusty Ruger GP 100 with me when I grill. We see these all the time, he jus got too close............[url=http://s406.photobucket.com/user/Jim_Grice/media/SU1HXzEwOTYuSlBH.jpg.html][/URL]

[quote name="Oh Shoot" post="1109127" timestamp="1392091409"]Both nice but I really really dig the old Wingmaster. - OS[/quote] I do too! I am kinda glad it is all beat to hell so I won't pout when I scratch it up this summer when camping. :p

I actually own and wear this one. I usually save it for when I am going to a place with a high hipster quotient.

I keep a copy of it folded up inside a ziplock bag that is placed inside the grip. [URL=http://s987.photobucket.com/user/cwillard1983/media/IMAG0426_zps97a080e8.jpg.html][/URL]

Nice looking 'pistolfirearmish' LEO pop-quiz implement! Gotta love its completely-legal, yet mischievously-defiant nature! Edit: Didn't mean that negatively at all....I think it's awesome.

Just had shoulder surgery Thursday, so I'm hoping to be back on the shotgun in a couple o' weeks to double check the patterning...hope so, anyway :x: . I'm with Nick and Whiskey....after I get a couple in the bag with Hevi13 I'm planning on trying to behead one with some 2.5" 100 gr. Guillotines. Pretty much relegated to the crossbow, as I likely will never be able to pull and hold a bow again. Either way, I'm probably gonna be living vicariously through this little 'un. Gonna try to get her on some birds with both gun and bow at some point. She's 10 and chompin' harder at the bit than even I am.

The ones that wear the shirts would have been his first targets. He was anti capatalist, racist, psychopath, and enjoyed executing people. He was evil. Unfortunately history is not taught anymore. "Beware you warriors that defeated the beast for the bitch that bore him is in heat again". Tyranny is rising again

The most important thing to know is, if you're talking to a recruiter, you're getting lied to. I have never met a single person that wasn't lied to by their recruiter. They will give the best case scenario and that is it. The truth is, unless you're in special ops, most of the time the military blows. You may make lifelong friends, experience comradery  you will never experience anywhere else, travel to exotic lands where you'll meet interesting people, and then kill them, but a lot of time is spent cleaning clean gear, checking oil in vehicles you checked yesterday (and the day before, and the day before, and the day before, etc. etc. etc.), and just general B.S. to keep you busy, or at least maintain that appearance to the VERY casual observer.    The thing one needs to realize before joining is that once you sign on the dotted line, your ass belongs to Uncle Sam. And he will do with you what he pleases and have no care for your opinion on the matter. And if you screw up, your ass is grass and they are the lawn mower. It can be a very thankless job much of the time, even if it is rewarding to know you're doing some good.   I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but I want to keep expectations realistic. I had a blast sometimes in the Army, but there were also times when I wanted to sit atop a water tower with a high powered rifle laughing hysterically while I took everyone in my command structure. The only in-between emotion that I recall was sheer boredom. 

I can honestly say this is one of the top 3 worst episodes in show's history. I kept track, the amount of commercial time was almost equal to show time. Commercial breaks were 4 minutes long with 6 minutes of actual show before the next round.

This is what happens when politicians try to fix what they fucked up to begin with.

So long as they add another amendment requiring a police officer to be on duty at every playground. If they strip law abiding citizens of the right to defend themselves and their own then it should be their responsibility. If they aren't willing to fill in the gap then they have no business creating one in the first place.

I'll be honest, I was really pissed off at work today. I kept thinking, I wasted prayers for these two drug dealers!!!! I still feel bad for the relatives because they did lose someone, but I hate gang bangers, I hate drug dealers, and I hate thieves! I cannot be sorry they are gone, who knows how many other people they've robbed, shot at, or even killed? Would they have turned their lives around and become model citizens? Highly doubtful, but even if they did, what did they leave in the wayside of their criminal lives....Hell, they were 19 freaking years old! All I wanted when I was 19 was enough money (from a JOB!) to take out a lil sweet thing on the weekend hopin for a lil country road romance! 

Two guys get stopped and the driver says to his passenger: quick stick one of these Budweiser labels on your forehead. The passenger does this, the driver also sticks a wet bud label on his forehead. Officer walks up looks in and says so um, you have a tail light out and have you 2 been drinking??? The driver says no officer we don't drink were on the patch...

My only Beretta handgun. I really like the Beretta Home Defense semi auto shotgun, despite its low capacity. Clean look, lightweight. Great to see the jobs.

LOL! Your kidding, right?   They're right beside the trustworthy politicians. :rofl:

He was Castro's enforcer.  His protege was Carlos the Jackal.  We heard about him all the time back in the '60s. Of course at the time, it was a "current event" and covered in civics.

The best deals are to buy from an individual.  Businesses have to make a profit.  Individuals will take a loss, usually large losses.    It still baffles my mind, a person will hold on to a $200 gun, not negotiate one dime, but will take losses in the $1,000s on a car.  Don't make a lot of sense to me.

Just got mine configured, but going to carry a copy of mine. I already carried copies of rulings about "pistol-to-rifle-to-pistol" and "constructive possession" since I toted a "kit" for a while with one lower and both rifle and pistol uppers. I also will carry the ruling about the 26"/VFG thang too since mine is currently configured that way. Additional note: Just got this baby together in current confiig, and will be changing handguard, but going to make the VFG quick detach, because under exact wording of TN statutes, I can only carry or transport a "handgun" loaded with one in chamber, or transport a "rifle or shotgun" loaded without one in chamber, and with the VFG on it, it's neither. Not that your average LEO would necessarily know the finer points of ATF rulings, but no sense having such a gray area just in case. - OS

Young people are idiots. I've never understood why (in my experience) its always the trust fund type kids who have this infatuation with communism. It's nothing but ignorance and looking for shock value so mommy and daddy will pay attention to them.

  It is exactly like that.  The last bastion of military professionalism exists in the infantry, and they're doing their best to turn that into military bearing-free zone.  I've only served in combat arms and was always baffled when interacting with persons in soft skill professions or seeing them interact with others.  I surely have a thousand stories about it.  I've never been under fire with a unit like that, but I refuse to believe that such undisciplined children could be expected to function as an effective fighting unit when they have zero respect for their NCOs, and their NCOs have zero concept of how to manage Soldiers.  Ugh.... rant off.

Geissele and ShootingSights also are also supposed to be bringing trigger packs to market this spring.  As soon as I can get my hands on the Geissele I'll have one. 

  Any emotionalness on my part was somewhat soured by knowing that Rick certainly wasn't dead and thinking "You dumbass, Rick. You're asking for a bullet".

I loved it..   And I really thought  he was dead. The part where Carl was trying to shoot his dad but could not.. ohhh.. how emotional..

These boys need to hear from someone how much life sucks if you enlist on a special contract that gets you immediately into high speed qualification stuff, and then you fail out.  In the Army you would sometimes come across young guys that enlisted on a contract similar to the SEAL deal you described (Ranger Indoctrination Program I think) and then flunk out of the program somehow.  They end up not being able to choose their follow-on MOS.  Meaning the Army gets to choose your job for you.  I don't know if things work the same way in the Navy.   An even bigger concern is that a young man who's enlisting would do well to figure out what kind of work, generally, he could see himself doing as a civilian.  Most guys don't have the foresight to do this; the recruiter tells them how cool it is to be a spaceship door gunner and that's all the recruit wants.  He doesn't bother to wonder how that job will translate into civilian skills later down the road.  Consequently, at the end of his first enlistment, that young guy doesn't have any real options.  He can either reenlist, or separate and become a civilian who has really cool military skills but can't get a job.   Say a young man has always been interested in police detective work, but really wants to see firsthand what the military is all about.  Ideally, he chooses an MOS that will have him doing that kind of stuff (i.e. Military Police, Military Intelligence Investigator, etc.) and enlists.  Later, by the time that same soldier reaches the end of his enlistment, he has done some detective-type service schools, gotten some letters of recommendation together, has some leadership experience, and is marketable to police forces across the country.  He has options in the civilian world.   The goal is for the soldier to have a first enlistment experience that gives him what investors call "a good return" for his time in service. 

And I am glad to see that Carl got his butt handed to him. So maybe in the near future he wont be such a snotty nosed brat.

Local laws and ordinances vary. Once you settle on a place check with the Police Department that would respond if someone called in on you. Regardless of what the laws are on discharging a firearm, you may have problems if a neighbor doesn’t like it.

200 gr hardcast boolits.................Yote no likey...... I was grillin a whole Tri-tip!

http://www.wbir.com/story/news/local/military/2014/02/03/mossy-grove-lines-streets-for-soldiers-return/5195987/ Went to high school with this guy, so glad he made it home safe.

Not for OCD folks I build stuff in my shop when needed I know where everything's at kids know to stfo. Reloading area is in a climate controlled room. Ms db knows to keep her smokes 50 ft away she avoids the bench. Smokes and all. Velvet Elvis stands guard over my redneck paradise enjoy.. Work bench:

How about this. When we find overpriced ammo on Armslist let's all flag the ad to have it removed. So who wants to post the next one?

Fun day.  I will be at work at midnight and will have all those scores sent via email and to IDPA HQ.

Yep, and that is whole point, make as many places off limits as possible.

Here's the kind of immigrant I want next door to me.   http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/02/must-see-manuel-martinez-fled-castros-cuba-destroys-oregon-lawmakers-gun-control-attempt-video/

He lobbied for a law that would make carrying a gun into a school a felony. Now he is arrested on felonies for doing just that. We give him a break because he says he forgot? I don’t think so so.

Sounds good. That's awesome you're taking someone to get their first pistol. My friend that was with me the other day, I took him to get his first pistol, then his first rifle, and Christmas a shotgun. AR is next!

They are sort of like Glocks; not only do the owners like them, they can't comprehend why everyone doesn't own them.

I don't think I've met a dissatisfied Dillon owner. If I ever wind up needing a progressive, the choice will be easy.

The answer to your question is "more". I, along with many others, believe if we have a societal collapse, ammo will be a valuable commodity and trade fodder for many things. It doesnt go bad and can be used in the meantime. Always need more. Just like food and water storage.

  Or Gin!

WAIT....Wait.......I've seen those signs go off by themselves

  And a few criminals conducting routine traffic stops. ;)

How is it possible that this man could have acquired a firearm? Doesnt he know there are laws against felons owning guns?

What happens if you pass gas while reloading?  Will this cause any harm to the power?  :panic:
