way to go now I wont be able to find matches any where and if I do they will be 75 bucks for a box :stunned:

Yuup.   Big government control freak Republicans are no more a friend of the Constitution, or individual thought (or liberty) than a big government Democrat...they are all just progressives who think that the government is the answer to every problem (when in reality it's usually the cause of the problem).

Walk into the Murfreesboro PD at shift change time with the Glock in your hand and be sure to wave it around while asking them to run it for stolen.                           Just kidding! Better not do that.

In all honesty I never thought he was Presidential material....................jmho

hardknox, that is funny....   Thread creep.  Check this out.  Somebody with lots of time on their hands...lol     Is Gilligan the Devil? Years ago, CBS had a popular little series called "Gilligan's Island". There is, however, a dark secret about this "comedy" you may never have realized. The island is a direct representation of Hell. Nobody on the island wants to be there, yet none are able to leave. Each one of the characters represents one of the 7 deadly sins: Ginger represents LUST - she wears skimpy outfits, is obsessed with her looks, and is a borderline nymphomaniac. Mary Ann represents ENVY - she is jealous of Ginger's beauty. The Professor represents PRIDE - he is an annoying know-it-all. Mr. Howell represents GREED - no explanation needed. Mrs. Howell represents SLOTH - she has never lifted a finger to help on any of their escape plans. The Skipper represents two sins: GLUTTONY - again, no explanation needed and ANGER - he violently hits Gilligan on each show. This leaves Gilligan. Gilligan is the person who put them there. He prevents them from leaving by foiling all of their escape plots. Also, it is HIS island. Therefore, Gilligan is SATAN. Crazy? He does wear red in every episode.

Just wanted to update. The Great Dane rescue group was able to find Mr P.'s owners! We are so happy to hear it and were told they were extremely happy to have him back!

For what it's worth, I bought Glocks from dealers that were LE trade ins. They came as pistols with one mag in a padded envelope. There were tons of police trades that didn't have boxes with them. People move. People put stuff in the attic.   Trade based on the character of the man you're dealing with, not his lack of factory boxes.

Why is that a red flag? Lots of people don't save the factory stuff, or they lose it, or they buy guns used without it. If you ask to see his TN state ID and sign a bill of sale and he declines, or if you have some other reason to believe he is shady then by all means decline the deal, otherwise you should be good to go. But if you insist on running a check you can call your local PD and ask if they will run it for you. Or you can go to any ffl dealer and ask them to do a TICS transfer for you which includes a check for stolen.

Does anyone still seriously think he is Presidential material?

You buying? :)

I have been playing with the laser engraver at work and these are my latest creation. What do you think?

Awesome.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC2BSb9MZYc

   I've had my dog/dogs stolen (1 the first time and the second time they got 2 of mine and 1 that belonged to my folks) and can only imagine how happy I would have been and still to this day would be if someone showed up with them. Glad to hear the big guy is back home, good job!

This is made from less than an 8' 2x4.... It folds up nicely for storage and travel, and can be used to hold paper targets of several different sizes, and golf balls and lollipops for difficult shots

Cool, too bad some crack head will break in there trying to steal copper and disturbed said eagles. I would hope the raptors would attack said crack heads but I wouldn't want such a beautiful bird to get contaminated.

    Works both ways though....criminals are known to be stupid so in theory it should work both ways.

He will have no shortage of love for sure, and I'm hoping in a several months he'll wanna be my jogging partner. Most of the dogs we've had were having none of that! :) My wife was reminding me of all the extra work that puppies are versus getting an older one, but the bonding with the family is worth the work to me. I've been driving home on lunch to check on the lil feller and he gets so excited when I walk in the door.....after he gives his vicious puppy growl to let me know he's on guard :lol:

I'm glad that some of you saw what I saw. I was very interested to see the responses. These are combat veterans who put it all on the line for this country and someone wants to make it look like a case of " Mexicans, Jews and blacks getting a freebie from Obama". :( Sent from my Obama Phone

Congrats!  There's nothing like the love of puppy.

Awesome! Congrats on the new addition to the family.

I'm guessing WW is WallyWorld - Wal-Mart, an international big-box retailer that sells everything from food to furniture to TVs to ammo. EW probably stands for Everything Weapons - a local firearms store run by ammo gougers. :-)

It's here. http://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=HB1407

Apparently, some morons think that he is. :shrug:

It was decided *before* the civil rights movement because it was laws which forced business owners to segregate that otherwise might not have.

I was thinking we should send him some brass knuckles.

Interesting.  I wonder how the lubrication and cooling systems work. 

I got some a week or so ago from SGAmmo (that Wolf/Tula white box) for $234 delivered. That seems to be about as good as it gets.

It's worth the drive to Murfreesboro. It's a MUCH better show.

With all of the wailing and gnashing of teeth in Knoxville today, I felt sure there would be at least a few pages already.

OP didn't get the story quite right. Obama doesn't get to pick the recipients as others have pointed out, congress does.    "The presentation came after Congress in a 2002 defense bill ordered a review of thousands of war records to determine whether Latino and Jewish veterans were denied the nation’s highest military decoration because of discrimination."   But it is a little worse, OP makes it sound as though Obama is doing some white/black thing and injecting race. But what Obama said was a little different:   "This ceremony reminds us of one of the enduring qualities that makes America great," Obama said. "No nation is perfect. But here in America, we confront our imperfections and face a sometimes painful past, including the truth that some of these soldiers fought and died for a country that did not always see them as equal." Which is largely true. There are plenty of reasons not to like this particular president without making things up. Here's the worst thing of all: sure Lt. Garlin got the screwjob but a lot of people get the screwjob. Go through the list of recipients and pick out one or a dozen that didn't deserve the medal. In general I believe you should try to pull yourself up instead of dragging others down.     

[quote name="TankerHC" post="1126657" timestamp="1395187716"] They did quite a few of these mass MoH ceremonies after the Civil War. Most were rescinded later when reviewed they showed no merit. That medal should not be used in any way as a political statement. That is exactly what the President has done. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2[/quote] That wasnt the same. They gave out Medals of Honor to hundreds of National Guardsman as reenlistment bonuses, because there was no standard back then and they needed people to stay in the unit. Comparing that to this is like comparing dog crap to filet mignon. The 24 that received the MoH all deserved it as far as I could tell, but considering there were actual investigations on each one to ensure they met the criteria is more legitimate than what has been done in the past. There are several MoH recipients who did not participate in combat or meet the modern day criteria for the award. There was a general who got it as a service award. Lindbergh even got one. So no, this isn't about Obama. Obama didnt recommend these troops for the MoH. He didnt conduct the investigation into these cases and he didnt authorize the Medal. He simply presented them at a ceremony. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The government has become a monster. They perceive their jobs as being writing bills and passing laws.....more and more bills and more and more laws. With each new law freedom gets smaller and the cost of government gets bigger. It's become a cancer and will eventually collapse.

My daughter and I watch MLP:FiM all the time.   Rainbow Dash is our favorite character. It is a running joke among my friends that I only bought a Mustang because I am a Brony.   Now, I have a minor luxury in this department as I have a little girl, and I know that things will change dramatically in a few years. But she dresses up as a Ninja Turtle and Darth Vader for Halloween and has a massive NERF sword collection. It is the exact same situation as this little boy carrying a Rainbow Dash backpack but in reverse. There isn't a single father here that will call foul when I take my daughter to the range where she can outshoot adults with her own gun, cause that is what she likes doing.    But let a little boy take a Rainbow Dash backpack to school...   IMO this is all part of a dress code, which the reason behind them is no distractions and no bullying. What were the coats a few years back, kids would literally kill one another over them? Or the shoes? I would hate to think that I sent my kid to school with a pair of Jordans and she got killed for them. On the same thought, I would hate to send her to school with the Pro Wings that got me teased when I was a kid. But hey, teasing is what kids do.   I think it is shit that this kid got bullied for his backpack. I think it is shit that the school banned his backpack. But, this is the world we live in, and as long as the majority allows this to happen, it will only get worse.

The most iconic photo in the history of photos.

yep but if you will bring that fine grand son of your to the next gunshow he will go home happy

Ayes have it guys!  Moving to calendar and rules to be placed on the full House floor.   Great job so far.  Keep pestering your representatives!!  

Good ol' Dub Taylor, one of the best character actors to ever bless the screen.  You might know him from hundreds of western flavored movies, including his roles as Cannonball in the B-movies, C.W. Moss' father in Bonnie and Clyde and the town preacher in the opening scenes of The Wild Bunch.  I got to spend some time back in the '70s with him and his son, Buck, who played Newly on Gunsmoke.  There's no finer pair of gentlemen you'll ever meet.  Dub's gone on to his reward now, and Buck is a highly respected western artist.

Mine is a Dark Wolf also know as a Lone Wolf because for a long time I was like a Lone Wolf and I have always admire Wolves for their ability to survive in some of the worst of conditions. They are one of the true Survivors left on Earth...............jmho

I'm just playin man. We simply disagree and that's okay.

Rainbow seemingly ending at a truck full of Guiness. A pot of gold indeed!

I wouldn't really want my boys carrying a 'My Little Pony' backpack, but since when do we ban bullying 'triggers' instead of the actual bullying?

Well if there's anything worse than a bully, its a group of bullies with authority.

Google Jeff Cooper.

We share the same name, and I grew up watching him on tv.  When I was younger, I hated being called Mr. Rogers.  Now that I have gotten older, I have gained more respect for the man's accomplishments, and I realize how genuinely good natured and kind the man was.

Pic I stole of some other cantankerous and rebellious old fart who I figgered would have noticed and threatened me by now.  Combines two of my lifelong favs, guns and booze, though sadly only the guns are used for a good many years now.   - OS

Mine is one of the greatest friends I've ever had, Buddy. 170lbs of pure awesomeness. We had seven great years together, and he left much too soon. When he was around I never even felt like I would need a gun. Miss that guy a lot.

You tell me

I live in Brentwood, and there are a lot of people with stupid money here.  And, there are plenty of places that cater to exactly that crowd.    There are also some great folks here!  Like anywhere, there's some truth to the old statement that if you don't look deep enough, you'll find exactly what you were expecting to see.   At my daughters school, there aren't nearly as many kids on free or reduced lunch as in other areas of metro - but it's higher than you might think around 25-30%.  We're on the Davidson county side of Brentwood, so our school is actually pretty diverse.   There are rich and middle class and even some who are truly poor, here.  Luckily for most of us, the rich do a pretty good job walling themselves up in their gated enclaves.  But, anytime any of you are here, come on down and shoot me a note.  Let's have some tacos or something :)
