I just got off the phone with Pro Tech, The 1st knife we will be doing will be the LG101 It meets their production schedule better than all other models. I should have a solid price by the end of this week, and as soon as I know solid number I will post it on here, I do know that this knife customized as it will be will be cheaper than you could buy a regular model of it anywhere on the planet

I feel compelled to add my two cents here. Some here may recall from previous discussions on the topic know I'm not particularly a fan of open carry, but for some to suggest that allowing people to do so without a carry permit will end up with people shooting people's poodles and have negligent discharges all over the place is simply absurd. These people likely own firearms anyhow, likely carry them illegally anyhow, and somehow - magically I suppose - these untrained people somehow manage to contain their small dog hatred and novice trigger fingers. If people want to OC, then that's their prerogative, even if I think it's a bad decision for most situations. But I'm a bit shocked at how quickly gun owners will turn to the very same arguments that anti-Second Amendment folks do.

:Rock: I know, I know, I'm not from round here and usually don't dare anger the beast by mentioning how we do things back west. But seriously, blue laws suck the big one.

So, we need to know about it when we've got restaurant owners on TGO.   You've got to spend your money somewhere.  I'd just assume support someone I know.

I had a rotating diet of hot dogs, Totinos pizzas and Dinty Moore over rice. One can of stew and a cup of rice kept me fed all day. Now, I ate like a bum because I needed the money for beer and rubbers. That bill was considerably higher than my groceries. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I do not understand the concept of getting rid of guns.

I took one of the TGO stickers I brought and put it on this tag. It almost lined up perfect but had to use some white paint on the very edge. I am not big on putting bumper stickers of any kind on my vehicles but putting them on a removable part isn't bad.

Cut a lot of members from the roster lately. Tired of chasing crap in circles. Cut most all of my bolt rifles. Bought this Weatherby Threat Response .308 Win with Kryptek's Typhon finish. I call it a Japerby because technically speaking it ain't a Weatherby. It's a Japanese made Howa 1500 with Weatherby's name on it. Topped it with Nikon glass and it's doing very well so far in load development. This rifle will most likely live out it's entire life and never see any of those flithy copper condoms some folks shove down the bore. First time out with it and did a ladder test trying IMR3031 and Lee's 312-155-2R cast from air cooled WW's. Sized .311 lubed with Ben's Red. I managed to get one 3/4 inch/5 shot group with a total average group of right at 1.25" @ 50 yards. Not spectacular but that's only half the first ladder test. I figure it'll take me most of the summer to find "The Load" Dumped every shotgun I own with the exception on the one I had as a kid. Bought a Weatherby Threat Response PA-08 with Kryptek's Typhon finish. 3" 12g chrome lined barrel. Just picked up a 1oz slug mold and Lee's 00 buckshot mold too. Not a real Weatherby either. It's one of the really well built Turkish shotguns being imported. I guess it's a Turkeby. I ran a box and a half of cheap crap through it. Well..It's a pump shotgun with an 18" cylinder bore. It works. Not much else to say :shrug: I'm hoping to work up a slug load that'll get me minute of deer lung accuracy at 50 yards. Shouldn't need pinpoint accuracy with a 437g slug cast from dead soft lead. Last but not least; Rock River Arms 1/9 twist upper, Daniel Defense rear sight, Tn Arms Company polymer lower and Magpul furniture set in ...YEP!, You guessed it! Kryptek's Typhon finish. Haven't run the AR yet. Just finished it up this last week. Lemme say, this lower is pretty darn nice ya'll! It's a plastic lower, but they had the good sense to put brass thread inserts in the stock and grip. The lower did need a SMALL bit of tinkering. The upper lower fit was tight! That's good though. The detent passageways had some small burrs I had to use a dentist pick to clear. BUT, my local gunshop has them in stock for $50+tax+$10. NOT too shabby. The triad is assembled. ....now to find me a Pelican or SKB type case that'll hold all three and make me some stencils to paint the case with. I'm thinking later of getting one of the custom coating companies out there to do a G19 as well.

This came acouple of weeks ago ,the wait time was 35 days . it's a HRA made in 1955.

I absolutely love me some cajun and creole food. So, I'm always on the lookout for some good jambalaya, etouffee, gumbo, and red beans & rice. I tried Razz'z in Smyrna this evening and all I can say is dayuuum! He's got this plate called the Tour of New Orleans that comes with Jambalya, Étouffée, and Gumbo with garlic bread. The jambalaya was spot-on. The étouffée was the best I ever put in my mouth. I think I make a mean pot of gumbo, but his puts mine to shame. How many places do you go nowadays where the owner/chef himself greets you at the door and says hi? Plus, he's a TGO forum member!

SOOOOO .... EXCITED :)   And a bump to get more people in on this group buy!

  I intend to get a higher end knife as well. Still won't pass on this one for two reasons. The value is always real high in a group buy because of quantity pricing. And, I'm a sucker for a TGO logo :)

Check Home Depot next to the lumber stretchers and wood magnets. ;)

I guess I assumed the TGO Razz is the same Razz that owns the restaurant. If not, I made quite a fool of myself Saturday when I introduced myself as BigK from TGO. If so, at least he was nice enough to smile and nod his head like he knew what I meant. LOL

To the OP... before we had kids, $250-$300/mo.  After kids....

I decided that I would visit my favorite LGS this past weekend to see what they had. I decided to take my late '80s model (six shot version - the newer ones are seven shot) Taurus 66, 4 inch barrel .357 with me. I actually almost didn't even fool with taking it and actually almost walked out my door without it except that my gut just kept telling me to bring the Taurus along, just in case. The reason I almost didn't was because, being my only .357, the only thing I would have really considered trading the Taurus for would have been a used Ruger GP100. Being that it seems most folks who have a GP100 keep them, what were the chances that this small, kind of out of the way LGS would have a used GP100 in the case? Well, it turned out that the chances were 100%. In over a decade of visiting that LGS fairly frequently, I don't remember ever having seen a used GP100 at this LGS and the day I decide that I would trade the Taurus if they had one, there it was. I honestly got a bit of an 'oooo-eeeee-ooooo' feeling because of it. Not only did they happen to have the only gun I would have traded the Taurus toward but it was even one of the models that had a wood insert in the grips - a feature I really find appealing and which, unless I am mistaken, Ruger no longer offers from the factory (the GP100 and SP101 revolvers now all come with a rubber grip insert unless I am mistaken.) A deal to trade my Taurus and some cash for the Ruger was reached and this came home with me: Now, let me say that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the Taurus. Whoever ends up with it will have a good revolver. It just wasn't a GP100. One reason I wasn't entirely happy with the Taurus was that it seemed that I could never entirely get the hang of shooting it with anything approaching accuracy despite trying to fine tune the adjustable rear sights. I don't think it was the gun's fault, it just didn't entirely fit me for some reason. I think the Ruger is going to be a much better fit. I brought it home Saturday afternoon and ran a few rounds through it. I didn't have a lot of .357 ammo on hand but I did try a couple of different, factory loads. I tried it on paper at about 10 yards (maybe a little more) with Federal 158 grain JSP and Remington 125 grain SJHP. The JSP were a little high and to the left on the first, two shots so I tinkered with the adjustable rear sights and got better results. I shot a combination of single and double action with both loads. As I said, I didn't have a lot of .357 ammo on hand so I just shot a few but I think I have a pretty good impression of this gun. Good enough to say that I can see it becoming my favorite handgun. Here are the targets with the respective loads. Keep in mind that I do not shoot from a rest, neither rifles nor handguns. These were fired using a two-handed grip in a SD type stance from about ten yards. I think I can improve with practice but getting 'minute of bad guy' the first time I ever fired this or any GP100 wasn't bad, I thought. I should have thought to buy more .357 ammo while I was at the LGS but I was so ecstatic about finding the GP100 that I just didn't. I have been seeing .357 ammo on shelves everywhere lately so I didn't think I'd have a problem finding any. Of course, when I called around to every Walmart in my area then called Academy there was none on any of their shelves. I even 'bit the bullet' and called Gander Mountain but hung up after being on hold for a couple of minutes waiting for the gun counter to pick up. Since I wasn't able to find any more .357 and didn't want to shoot up all that I had, yesterday I decided to see how the Ruger would do with my .38 Special reloads. So far, I have only done two .38 loads so I took a few of each to test them out. I shot them from the same distance and stance as the .357 I shot the previous day. I also decided to try both single and double action with both loads. One thing I found was that, although it is possible to 'stage' the trigger a bit I really didn't do very well when I tried as I tended to shoot low. The trigger is pretty smooth, I think, and I found that I had better results just pulling/squeezing the trigger straight through. Anyhow, more pics so it actually happened: The target on the left represents my single action results with this load. All six shots are represented - I actually managed to put three shots into that one large, ragged hole at the bottom/left of the bullseye. The target on the right was double action and I was trying to 'stage' the trigger on at least some of the shots. Again, the target on the left represents single action and the one on the right was double action. The four holes closest to the bullseye show the results of my giving up on staging the trigger and just pulling straight through.

[quote name="deerslayer" post="1138769" timestamp="1397532590"]What would change is that we would have even more ignorant people legally carrying guns and when they screw it would be their problem, but it will also cause us problems. I agree the training is not perfect, but I also have heard several people make comments after class like "eye opening experience," "had no idea," "didn't realize," etc. Stupid people will do stupid things, but a little education may occasionally do a completely ignorant yet reasonably intelligent person some good. [/quote] We could apply that to gun ownership in general. Why not? Stupid gun owners are making us look bad all the time. Why not make people take a class and apply for a license to own a gun? Same logic applies. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This past weekend I carried my glock 19 and kept the 870 locked in the vehicle. 

Here is a pic of my rifle.

I'm not a fan of dickholes on my rifle so no key mod here. I have a 15" MI SS Gen II on my rifle. Looks good, feel good and is really light. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

back 18 years ago when I moved here I was trying to make a decision on whether to get a house phone or a cell phone. I was only going to get one or the other. Well I was on my way to sore to get some groceries and truck broke down. I had to walk about 3  miles to a pay phone to call a friend. That was the deciding factor. I can make calls from a cell phone from home but can't call for help when broke down on the side of the road and get help with home phone. So I have one phone and seldom if ever get a spam call. Wrong number about 1 time every couple months. Will never have another home phone...............jmho

Shew for the price of some of those hawks you could get an 20" Stihl and a couple spare chains.

  The way I've seen some folks scrounge brass at the range you'd think it was gold.

Is that a USN Rockeye?

You sound like one of those Dave Ramsey "beans and rice" sort of folks.

Excellent choice.  Looking very forward to this.

Perhaps you are related to Steelharp. He had that problem for a while.

    My wife likes to say "This meal cost $2.35 (or other ridiculously low $ amount)  for all of us. We have leftovers for tomorrow, as well.". That makes her day. She is scientific with it, as well. Keeps a purchase and price log on her iPad per product. Scans it into the app when she is putting away groceries and the corresponding $ per product. She'll have a receipt that is longer than I am tall (6'6") and have a total cost of about $30. Amazing. 

:confused: Can't see how that could possibly be effective, but to each their own. Back to the Topic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I try to rotate mine somewhat in what goes to the range. Even with that though I have guns I haven't shot in months, years or even ever. I'll hang onto them though, in some cases I don't know what I was thinking when I bought them, but I'm hoping that by them sticking around they'll jog the memory. :shrug: its worth a shot anyway. Yeah of everything I've got there are maybe a handful that would really really hurt to lose and a few of those would come live with me under a bridge in a van down by the river before I'd let them go.

I have my go-to guns as well. You know, the ones you'd reach for in a pinch, because they never let me down. They are my favorites and get the most use. That being said, I have a lot more benchwarmers that I only take out when I'm in the mood. I like them too, but they'd be the first ones to go, if times got hard. Until then, I like the idea of holding onto them better than I like the idea of having the money they might be worth. Besides,if I had the money instead of the guns I'd probably just waste it on dumb stuff like bullets for my better guns. LOL

[quote name="TrickyNicky" post="1138058" timestamp="1397405846"]I don't know. I don't hear about gangsters and thugs having too many ADs and they carry all the time, often with poor, incorrect fitting or no holste at all. If they can do it, I'm willing to bet most anyone with the desire and ability to carry a gun openly will be fine, and again it would seem statistics would back this up as we're not talking about anything new. Hope it all goes through.[/quote] Yeah, we can anecdotally trade stories about untrained carriers having NDs and such, but we could also tell stories of police officers and highly trained military personnel having NDs. I have some stories. Many folks here have some too. We chalk those stories up to stupid people existing in all walks of life. Stupid people will carry guns too. Funny, the same reasons gun owners take issue with constitutional carry are the same reasons anti-gunners don't want folks to have guns in the first place. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi-point. When you turn that in, you have to give the cops money ;)

no one in the thread has asserted that "mandatory training standards" should be a requisite for laying claim to 2A rights. the only thing I have read is that if someone considers carrying a gun in public that they should invest time in training firearm operation/proficiency and educate themselves in the firearms laws of the state(s) that they would be carrying a firearm.  while I agree that gov't should not mandate "training" as qualification to exercise the 2A right, I do feel that it is OUR  obligation as gun owners to encourage others to constantly practice and train to become proficient in handling and shooting firearms, in whatever discipline we choose (i.e. self defense, target shooting, hunting, etc).    I will say that while I would possibly feel a little uncomfortable knowing that some "gomer" could carry a gun thinking he is clint eastwood, that by no means should prevent him from being able to exercise that right if he so chooses.  the thing to remember is that rights have responsibilities, and carrying a gun is a BIG responsibility...

  I got the same arguments from some friends when I posted this to Facebook. Yep, because all those other states have been nothing but blood baths since open carry was instated...
