I wonder how many accidents can be attributed to people reading the signs rather than paying attention to driving.

We have the same signs here in Memphis. Whenever I see the seatbelt one I think to myself that if 50% of fatalities were not wearing their seatbelt, that means the other 50% were. That encourages me to do what exactly?

better yet, they ought to rebel against the prices and not stock it at all.

   .22lr ammo is the only ammo that places can get away with heavily gouging on at this time. A lot of otherwise decent gun shops have fallen prey to the .22lr price jacking temptation and maintained reasonable prices on other items. I'm not saying that there's no way that they paid $75 per brick and were "just passing it along" as a favor to the shooting public but I find it rather hard to believe that if they had normal to no margin that they would take a $15-$20 lick just because of a bit of bad press. Assuming that they are now selling it at THEIR purchase price they were taxing folks at $20 per whack on something that is known to be a touchy matter so they were at minimum short sighted. I also might could believe that they are taking a $20 hit just to save face if it were a few bricks but I can't get my mind wrapped around them taking a $20 per brick hit on 2 pallets worth.   But we're not the biggest losers in this deal (we didn't buy any) think about the folks that saw them post the Armscor for $75 per brick on Facebook and went down and purchased it because they were out and had no other options for their kid(s) only to see them post it for $20 less the following week. Kind of like getting slapped in the face twice over one purchase.  I will completely agree with you on the fact that no one is twisting anyone's arm to buy it. I love the free market (or at least as free as the government allows) but the free market includes folks right to bring awareness to overpriced goods so as to provide the uninformed shopper the knowledge that this is not a reasonable price.

Nitriding is a process and not a coating. It changes the outer layers of the steel by increasing hardness to near diamond hardness, extends barrel life, makes it corrosion resistant and may increase lubricity. I have wanted a Feddersen barrel for some time, but when he nitrided some it really make them too hard for me to resist. Of course the bore is hardened as well as the exterior during the process. The barrel to the door was 197.00.

Exactly. They were selling the same stuff for $20 a brick more. Someone has the balls to come here and say they aren't making a bunch of money on .22 ammo. They sure as hell aren't going to lose money at $54.99, so they sure as hell were gouging.

If people were half as interested in their child's education as they are in the minutia surrounding a football team at a university they didn't attend, the world would be a much better place.    Related:  http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/03/whistleblower-says-this-148-word-paper-earned-a-unc-athlete-an-a-minus/

[quote name="tnguy" post="1130438" timestamp="1395885322"]Wile-e, I don't think your security ideas are out of line, I think what people are getting at is that if you haven't already made that decision, one stranger wandering along the edge of your property may not be a reason to lurch that way. With that said, you gave some food for thought. I have already started going the camera route. Is there any particular motion sensor you prefer? Perhaps this should be its own thread.[/quote] Well, I would agree that someone who hasn't already made a decision to have basic to intermediate security measures in place shouldn't do so based on a single account of a stranger trespassing. They should do so without any event occurring whatsoever, as soon as they realize that a gap exists which places them at risk. Too many people wait until something bad happens to take action, which is like closing the barn door after the herd is already gone. I do have over 20 years experience in the security area, both residential and commercial. It's never been my main job but I have held several dealer accounts, designed / installed / repaired numerous systems, and mostly did the work for free or at cost just to help out family and friends. These days I just do it for myself and close family members because I don't have enough free time due to my other hobbies and volunteer work. But if anyone here is seriously interested in getting security systems such as alarms, cameras, or perimeter motion sensors you can send me a PM with your name and email address / phone number and I'll call you to discuss what your needs are and offer free advice and recommendations. You can buy and install most of this stuff yourself and it can cost as little as a single firearm, plus you use it every day 24x7 so you get a lot of value out of the investment. I'm not selling anything and I won't come to work for you, just offering to help anyone who is serious. I don't want to post all the details in the public forum as it could take me hours to write it all up and my advice would change depending on your needs, and I just don't want to waste all that time if people aren't serious enough to identify themselves and talk on the phone. This thread has already gone way off track with too many unprofessional and inappropriate comments so I'm hoping this post (my last in this thread) might help to bring it back on track.

  I don't think he's butt hurt. You should meet for a beer summit, so you can really tell him off :)

  You made my point.  The colleges are supposed to be a breading ground for education not sports players.  College sports should not be profit centers, but instead an outlet and a chance for the kids to have fun.

  I've been boycotting the CCI troy Landry garbage, seems everywhere I have seen it in stock it's at least a dollar or more per 100 like his picture being on the box makes it better ammo than the standard mini mags. :down:

I find this round to be a good SD round.. Although I prefer the bonded version of it .. This is a GREAT deal The Golden Saber 124g +P is $12.97 (non members) per box… Usually this stuff is double the cost Also use the coupon code SG3568 for $15.00 off $49 or more… I already have a good bit of this stuff but I figured for under $50 to my door I got 4 more boxes :-) http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/golden-saber-9-mm-124-gr-bjhp-25-rds.aspx?a=736935&CJ=1&cjaffilid=4084797&cjaffsite=Slickguns+Inc&cjadv=CJTSGUSA&cjadvid=1522857&utm_source=Slickguns+Inc&utm_medium=CJ&utm_campaign=SPG+Product+Catalog+-+SportsmansGuide.com

I was once in an accident where I would have most likely been gravely injured, if not killed had I been wearing a seatbelt. The ladie's bumper and my driver's side door was wrapped around my steering wheel. I wasn't injured.   The sign said it was 50/50. I guess you and I help confirm that?

A tyrant would answer "just do exactly as you're told". A freeman would answer "just do what ever you'd like". A republican would answer "just do what ever the popular opinion is". A democrat would answer "just do exactly as you're told". :)

Sweet yard ornament!

Unique works for almost any pistol cartridge. Bullseye, power pistol, W231 and AA#5 is good too.

1st comment on the new knife law, i'm glad they are removing the restrictions on knife carry, restrictions that only punish law abiding citizens. Now I guess we will hear predictions of wild west stabbings in the streets. Thing is, even with the restrictions removed i'll probably carry the same ol Case XX standard folder with a 3 1/2" blade that i've carried for years, just my preferance. I used it just yesterday to open a big bag of bird seed. As a southern boy I have carried a pocket knife since I can remember so I can wittle a stick, clean a squirrel, dig a splinter out of my finger, cut the twine off a bail of hay etc etc. I remember trading them in ELEMENTRY SCHOOL and no one gave a hoot much less called SWAT and CNN. Anyway, if anyone ever asks me if i'm going to start carrying some kind of automatic knife, fighting knife, an ARK4715 Glock assualt knife, i'll say naaa, why should I when I carry a gun? :) P.S. It will be nice to know I can carry what I want even though i'll carry the same ol knife Uncle Kenny gave me 20+ years ago.

I don't like unions, but I like the state sanctioned monopoly that is the NCAA and its license to exploit college athletes even less. I applaud this decision and hope that it is the beginning of the end of college athletics as we know it. College athletes should be able to bargain for a larger share of the billions of dollars they earn for the colleges on an annual basis. We all know that many athletes are fairly compensated by boosters in violation of the NCAA rules, lets just go ahead and bring that all above the board and out into the open as well while we are at it. Anyone who thinks that college athletics are somehow purer because the athletes aren't getting paid like the pros is just fooling him/herself. Pay the athletes and end the stranglehold of the NCAA.

News report said they would be killed at the end of the contract. April 17? I think?

  You law breaking rebel  you!

That or a phazer from star trek.

So if switchblades are about to become legal where can a fella find a quality, old-school, stiletto-style blade like the punks in 1950's movies carried?

If I ever shoot a hog I want to thump it and thump it hard.  There should be no need to worry about hitting it just right with some puny 22 caliber bullet.  They are big, tough critters and deserve to be brought down hard, just as they've lived.

[quote name="sigmtnman" post="1130326" timestamp="1395872097"]Sure you can. No one cares enough to though. Perhaps this well be the impetus.[/quote] I don think it's about "no one" caring, it's about the people in power are making too much money to care. Kind of like government.

At a Nashville gun show once, I saw a guy sell a gentleman with a table a Colt Delta Elite for a very cheap price. Soon after, I saw a couple more guys walk up to the same table and ask if he had a Colt Delta Elite for sale. He told them no. They got quite unruly, and the other guy came back soon after. As far as I know, they finally left unhappy, and the guy with the table went home with a screaming deal on a 10mm. I expect that was an ATF setup. If not, I don't have any other explanation for the display I witnessed.

Tards.

I say let em get paid, it will vet itself out in the end.  I mean what are we trying to preserve, the student athlete? That's been gone for decades now.  The schools and NCAA are making billions off the backs of kids risking their potential future on the field.  No reason that cant fight for a piece of the pie.  And no I don't believe they are owed anything per se but they have the right to try to get what they can.      I'm generally not a fan of unions, but here there seems to be a serious disparity between who's bringing in the money(players) and who's cashing the checks(NCAA and Univ).  I believe the players should get a scaled stipend according to minutes played or something like that.  Then put a cap on the amount any one athlete can get in a year.  Also restrict it to amount of revenue the players sport generates.  Its not that complicated.      All that said I believe we are a long way away from truly paying college athletes anything significant

Title looked quite ominous at first glance!    - OS

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberry!

I'm torn on this. First I read what you posted and formed an opinion about the ATF setting people up. Then I clicked the link and it seems some Joe bought a suppressor from someone's trunk along with two handguns. Any time some one offers to sell me something along the Class 3 line I will be having my fat arse running like Usain Bolt away from said deal. Just my 0.02.

Ehh, I don't care what other pistol mags cost. But I think they're all too high for that they are. None of them are made out of much. I think it's time Magpul got in to making pistol mags! :)

Passed 75-16-2!      WHOOOOO HOOOOOOO!

I really do wish them success.  We need fewer gun stores not less.   That said, it's so interesting to me that every gun shop in the Franklin/Brentwood area in recent years has seen no benefit in being a part of the TGO community.  This is a highly loyal bunch, and we've had some great vendors that understand that (Hero Gear of old, G&L, D&T, etc...)  I guess that says more about the community they(we) live in than it necessarily does about any of them, but I don't see how it's going to work out for them in the long run.   You can only gouge your customer base for so long before most of them go somewhere else. 

I agree. If a few beers makes you unsafe to be around a gun, you were already unsafe to be around a gun before you drank the first one.
