His pink eye was actually his pinko brain finally leaking out.   - OS

Thanks to the power of the internet we know who we are looking for and a warrant has been issued. I can post up the turds pic and info when I get to a computer.

My son is doing the honor guard  right now in the Air Force. if I would EVER see him doing crapp like that ? .. emty casket or not...he would have a hard time going back to his duty station with  2 black eyes and a broken jaw. I would be so ashamed of it .. I don`t know why people trying to minimize this. It is a shame :(

Are you guys just refusing to read?                       THE COYOTE WAS DEAD BEFORE THE BLOCK WAS PUT IN IT'S MOUTH

...and this happened. I'm now set to load some 300BLK (and some 5.56 as well)!

Guys, we're overlooking a major flaw in our planning. A badge, sash, or shield only identify us when we're tactically moving from concealment to cover. "What about when we're driving?" you ask? Problem solved:

Does the block have "ACME" written on it?  It was probably part of a very intricate plan that the coyote had to catch the rabbit, but it backfired.

I think there is another big thing we can take away from this. Note that the one intruder with the pistol was determined and tried to take another run at the door. Many people believe that at the sight or sound of a gun an intruder will go running. As we see, that's not always the case. We (everyone that owns a weapon) must be prepared to do what is necessary to stop that threat to our lives and our loved ones. I'm certainly glad this story had a happy ending, but from the bullet holes in the videos I saw that poor mother was just spraying and praying. Practice, practice, practice. Don't count on that criminal to run simply because you have a weapon. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

How about a TGO Cape?

Badges are much too small to be seen in a firefight. That's why I'm commited to preaching the advantages of an HCP sash. That's why I'm doing a group buy of TGO-HCP sashes. Any of our TGO Vendors willing to handle the paperwork for that?

Still want to know who took the HCP badge out of the benefactor box.

The guy has been arrested, hopefully he will be off the streets for a little while this time.   

False advertising!!!!   I consider myself a rear end expert but only of the feminine kind.   "LA face with an Oakland booty"  :woohoo:

Ah shit.  It's time to rethink my position.  :D

can he not call a sporting event without a monologue about a social/civil/global problem?  First a rant about guns during halftime of an NFL game and now going governmental and citing the problems with Putin and the Russian government.     I make no statement on whether I agree with his or other's points…..but sometimes I just want to watch sports to escape the convoluted issues of this rock.

[quote name="gregintenn" post="1114540" timestamp="1393006144"]What would you do with it? [/quote] Not throw it out on private property, first off. Otherwise I don't give two shits what they do with it.

I've seen people here short on cash, patience, ammo, etc. Never short on opinions here though. Oh and Broox, I'm pretty sure you meant roadrunner. :rofl:

Bottom line is this : If you are having problems with a driver , swallow your pride and pull over to the side of the road and let the "HARM" go away and never go in "HARM's" way . 

You're just begging for Kentucky Conan to show up on this thread, aren't you?

So for the last few years, I've kind of wanted to get into making some blades, but haven't. Time and lack of tooling really put a damper on my plans. I told myself that I would start when I could find a decent deal on a grinder, but never got around to it. Well fast forward to the holidays last year, and I had a little time on my hands. I decided to give it a go without the expensive tooling and do it by hand. Here are the results of my efforts with nothing but hand tools - hacksaw, a couple of good files, and various sandpapers. This started as a piece of 3/16" O1 tool steel. Cutting it with the hacksaw didn't take nearly the time I thought it was going to. I have a bandsaw, but in the spirit of "handmade", wanted to try it with the hacksaw. I'd say it took about an hour to cut the profile. I then proceeded to clean it up with the files, and let me just say that a good file, kept clean can really remove some metal. I put together a jig to hold the blade, and each side took about an hour and a half to get where I wanted it. Mind you, I likely could have cut this down some, but my kids wanted to help and I went slow to keep from screwing it up. I finished the blade by getting it non-magnetic with a torch and a quench in warm oil. I then heat treated in a small oven a couple of different times. I wish I had taken some pictures of the blade at this point. The scales are some cedar heartwood I recovered. I sharpened it on a standard Lansky set and finished on a strop. I really put it through some torture and it held its edge better than a lot of factory knives I've owned. I'd say my overall time spent was about 8 hours. Here is the finished product: I guess the moral of this story is don't let a lack of power tooling stop you from doing something fun.

Okay, you're a little right and a little wrong here. The point I was making about you finding the idea of revolt so ridiculous when we have a system to vote out our crappy leaders is that it is ironic you would have the same dismissive attitude towards someone using that vote toward a candidate they support, regardless of their chances. Isn't that the right way, after all? How can you, in one breath, say that armed resistance against opposition is silly so long as we have the power to vote yet in the same breath say it's silly to use that vote for anyone other than a member of the very ruling class we might oppose? Do you see why I would point that out? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This is absolutely stupid!!! What are they 5 years old!!! In told like ten people I know that you would be there!! Maybe if we sent ol Rex an email or two he might like to hear what we have to say!!

This dog was killed during a contest. The wood block is set in the mouth right after the kill. A random word or code is given to the hunters just before the hunt starts. That word is written on the block and placed in the mouth of a freshly killed coyote. This keeps people from cheating during the contest. The tape is used to keep the block from falling out of the mouth while the coyote is being dragged out of the woods. If the jaw locks you can't get it back open. I've never hunted a contest and never really wanted to, but I don't have a problem with it either. I've trapped a bunch in the last 6-7 years. I'm not heartless, mean, or psycho. I've helped friends and farmers keep their pets and livestock and I don't regret it for a second.

I always stick to the "pack out more than you pack in" rule whether fishing, camping, hunting, hiking, whatever...don't litter and pick up when and where possible...

Been there myself on the cattle lost 4 Angus calves in the last couple years to coyotes they need removed they originally are not even native to this area and before you PETA people jump on me I know cattle are not native species either but they at least serve a purpose did find a solution though turned an ornery little jack (donkey) in with the cows and he keeps dogs and coyotes chased away -Dusty-

you'd have to be a stupid S.O.B. to try and put a wood block in a live trapped coyote's mouth   I bet the first man who ever tries will earn a new nickname...Stumpy

[quote name="79troublehead" post="1113868" timestamp="1392912847"]Are you serious about "competition hunting"? Man, I must be living in a time warp. What sick mind thought up this?[/quote] I've been doing competition coon hunting since I was little, and so has my dad who is 60 this year. Its not a new trend by any means. And I don't really consider it sick, coyotes are a nuisance and have cost me and my family a lot of money and headache harrassing cattle. Whats the difference in killing 3 or 4 on the weekend and killing 3 or 4 in a competition hunt. Either way the coyote gets killed quickly with a gunshot. Tapatalk ate my spelling

If permit holders can not carry at the stadium then neither should off duty police.  Its funny how upset they got when they had to follow the same rules as normal people.

It's kind of a gun-fu movie, but I always thought Equilibrium was a pretty good gun movie.

I'd say that's about an accurate enough depiction. ;)

Was so disappointed when he returned. Olympics so much better without this idiot spreading his moronic views.

I really hate to brake this to everyone.  I have first knowledge this coyote did this to himself. Coyotes are known to do this to themselves to bring blame to wabbits, squirrels, turkeys and basically anything they eat. I have been known to shoot wabbits, squirrels and turkeys as revenge killings in the coyotes name.  I know I have lowered myself to their level but I can't help it!    Mystery SOLVED!

My favorite bigfoot jump: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTlwvm1m5No[/media] I'd like to see the Mars rover try that! ;) Granted, the amount of time these rovers keep going is still pretty phenomenal. Not to mention the incredible jump from Earth to Mars... and beyond for some of our probes. Pretty sweet.

He knows what time it is!

Why I don't watch much TV....

I think what they do in Saudi Arabia to thieves is something we civilized people should consider.  They cut off the hands.  Those without hands have a life time of constant justice, and wiping their butts effectively!

No shortage of opinions here...I like that....

       Thanks for the confirmation.  I knew sooner or later they would figure it out.  We country boys like to talk slow and such but it's just to throw off the Yankees. The ambient atmospheric pressure on Mars in like 0.8 psia. It would take a wind of mach 1 to move that rock.

Could we also do swords with the sash?

  Heck, if you aim that .22LR at their center of mass then most 'normal' people are probably going to change their behavior pretty quickly.  The problem is, I would think that a large percentage of assailants who would go far enough that you would need to/could legally shoot them are not 'normal'.  My thinking would be that they were either chemically altered, mentally unbalanced, in a complete rage or a member of a subculture (i.e. gang) in which getting shot is much more a commonplace occurrence that it is to most 'normal' people.   I live and generally spend most of my time in low risk/low threat level areas.  To my knowledge I also don't have any true enemies.  The chances of me being attacked - while always a possibility - are pretty slim.  The flip side is that if I am attacked then the assailant likely won't be a 'normal' person.  Instead, the assailant will likely be a meth-head or a nut-job (or a meth-head nut-job) rather than simply the type of opportunistic criminal that might be a factor in a higher crime area.  That line of thinking leads me to believe that if I am threatened then it is not likely to be by the type of assailant that would probably turn and run at just the sight of a gun.  Even given that, my most often carried firearm is my j-frame stoked with .38 +P and I do carry a P3AT occasionally - when I need something really flat and easily concealable - but I expect to have to fire more than one shot to stop the threat.  Personally, I believe that a 9mm, .40 and .45 would all be about equally effective in such a situation.  I don't know that I would be comfortable carrying a .22 as a primary for those reasons (although a BUG is a different story.)  Just something I thought I'd throw out there.

Should be easy enough to pick him up.... he's a IDPA shooter, just check the local matches.

Capes are lame. Make mine a cloak please. With built in retractable sash and a badge the size of a dinner plate, that way it can double as body armor.

You just don't like the .gov telling you "what time it is".  :D  

Meh, for the most part, using modern defense ammo an assailant who is shot with a 9mm is just as shot as one that is shot with a .40 or a .45 - and vice versa all over the place. If we were limited to ball ammo and expansion weren't a factor then I could see an argument for the 'bigger' .45 bullet being superior but we aren't, it is and I don't. It isn't like any of them are a .357 magnum :pleased: (sorry, couldn't resist.) Being that I believe 9mm to be just as potentially effective as .40 or .45 on any, given assailant (which means any of them might stop a threat with one shot or any of them might fail to stop a threat with several shots), I can't bring myself to accept that .45 ammo is worth two or three times the price of 9mm. With .40, ammo is more expensive than 9mm but not as expensive as .45. Further, if one were buying their first pistol I could see an argument for .40 in that so many LEAs have gone that direction, meaning ammo might be easier to come by at times. Beyond that, given that I don't think companies will stop making 9mm any time soon I don't see any reason to abandon the 9mm I already have in favor of a .40.

Thanks for the awesome pictures!
