FIFY!

I put an Obama sticker on my car, that way everyone knows I'm broke.

I'm with lefty. Wow factor goes to Franklin Gun Shop hands down. Why? "Wow they've got a lot of cool stuff!" Wow they've got a lot of hard to find stuff!" "Wow I can't believe I was just treated so poorly by a local merchant!" "Wow they want HOW MUCH for a production Ruger?!" I'd go to look around a bit maybe, but even then between both G&L locations and Nashville Armory you'll likely see more stuff, reasonably priced and any money you spend will go to stores who actually care about their customers. YMMV.

  It just warms my heart when karma bites someone in the ass.

He went out of his way to insult all people who carry by calling us pathetic losers. If he had just put up a no guns sign and then gotten robbed, I wouldn't have laughed.

Not to mention a visible reminder of why the manufacturers don't trip all over themselves to ramp up production every time there's a scare.

I remember them. That's the same place that posted really insulting signs trash talking gun owners?

I can see at least 2 sides to the story, maybe more. Unless the folks there are blatantly racist and have demonstrated this to other people in other ways, I would suspect the more likely scenario was that upon the first visit the clerks didn't know what to think since they've never heard of any such request or application before. Then after they had time to think it over and talk about it after you left, someone perhaps a little conspiracy minded or liberal got to talking about how unusual the request was, and visions of the numerous media reports of shootouts involving armor came to mind, so they just decided to be cautious. While I (or most pro-gun) people wouldn't have thought anything odd about the request, the average citizen who knows nothing of guns let alone armor would definitely see that as unusual, and it is actually smart of them to make the call from a liability perspective. If it were me I wouldn't have ever told them what the plates were, just said they are part of some machinery or samples to be used in testing. Discretion is often best in such scenarios, to avoid unwanted attention.

Picked up this morning. Range time this weekend. [URL=http://s130.photobucket.com/user/jcoosi/media/photo27_zpsfe63136e.jpg.html][/URL]

I'm seriously contemplating ordering two of these Godfathers. Simply awesome looking piece of work! Being new to the world of fancy knives, I'll wait til I get the LG101 in hand before I commit to doubling up. Of course, the swift return of overtime at work can make that decision much easier! ;-)

Don't worry guys, When I get the photos of the Godfather knife made by Protech for us in August, I assure you that we will make the minimum order. I have at least 20 people on other forums that would jump for a chance to own one of these, as they know what they will be like as they own a few from other forums already. This coupled with the LG101 satisfaction that everyone will have, I see no problems with this run happening but hopefully it will be exclusive to members of this forum as it is meant to be

  Check the username's .com website at it might start coming together.  He's in the business of selling Tisas' (as stated in his post).

Nah, I'd imagine that would have been at a minimum a four page exposition.

This is a very fun match! Sad I'll miss it this year. As a teaser, here is me running last year's match. http://youtu.be/Zc4OqDxjuYo

  It's bullshit.  You can find good BBQ many places but it's a way of life in Memphis.

So subjective. Everyone thinks theirs is best. Hell, just go eat it, if it's good go back. I don't understand the pissing contest. I have friends in North Carolina that bitch at sauce made from "ketchup". It's not ketchup based, it's tomato based but you can't convince them of that.

No. He means large wooden boxes for storing African river animals.

If I'm reasonably well dressed and out eating I've started politely asking managers at places that are currently posted if they would like to change their mind to win a customer and get added to the "posted!" app as a non-posted alternative. I've had one business owner get angry b/c someone else had apparently stickered his business without asking him and one manager that removed the gunbuster while I stood there.(and it has stayed down) I've found that if they see the app and realize how easy it is for me to find a gun friendly alternative on the handy map and dine elsewhere(across the parking lot in some cases) that all of a sudden they don't so much like being on the list of restaurants I won't patronize. I've also talked to several that won't budge but I'm always very respectful of their opinions and thank them for taking the time to speak to a potential customer.

THIS WILL BE MY MOST VALUABLE FIXED BLADE KNIFE I WILL EVER OWN. I asked if we could show the progress of the manufacture process and he agreed. Get ready for a slow but very concise view of a custom high quality knife in progress from stage one. The steel : The Template : The Trace : The Rough Cut Out : MORE TO COME .......... :cheers:

This was on my Facebook this morning and thought I would share. Definitely a motivator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqGVU1sW8pg

I've always liked Penn & Teller as entertainers, but I rarely agree with them on political commentary. Who knew they'd get the Second Amendment debate right? [media]http://youtu.be/xKMgxuHBasI[/media]

I typically build my own ARs but I have always wanted to own a colt just to have I ordered one Monday night and it already shipped ... Showing delivery for tomorrow.. At this price I couldn't refuse ... OD Green or not it's still a great deal Kinda shocked they are still in stock $858 Shipped http://www.slickguns.com/product/colt-firearms-le6920mp-od-ar15-carbine-109104

Yeah, it was probably the 1911 spooking all those folks. :lol: Anyway that's what I'm saying, kinda. The bag goes to TSA in front of you or you hand it to them. From them it goes to the carrier, from the carrier back to you upon arrival. Chain of custody was a poor choice of words I guess, just meant that those bags don't get accessed by TSA beyond the initial screening which takes place shortly after you hand your bag over (or it is handed in front of you) to TSA. Did BIN change all their check in areas like that? Wasn't more than a few years ago that I could have sworn they x-rayed it right in front of me. That may have been at LAX too though and I'm just crossing wires on my memory. :rolleyes:

Never built one in .308 but if I did I'd use a Tennessee-made upper/lower combo....http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=F1CMTUHP10SET&name=CMT+UHP15+Billet+.308+AR+Receiver+Set&groupid=577

  They do work HP. Every time I see one I turn around and just leave. You can bet it did work on 99.9% of all the law biding citizens that would have normally been in there eating that weren't because of the signs. The bad guys are becoming more and more dedicated to looking for the No Gun Signs more than ever. Now they don't have to worry about a law biding citizen or three blowing their heads off while protecting themselves and their family at dinner............jmho

If you really want to see some jaw dropping inventory you need to head to Outpost Armory its a little South East of Nashville but its worth the drive if you want to go somewhere and day dream for a while. Their prices are high imo when compared to competing stores but they have the largest/coolest inventory I have seen yet and Im not talking only their firearms they have a lot of cool gear as well. Barretts for days(MRADS,98B's,M107's etc in several configs),LMT,LWRC,KAC,Scar 16's/17's they are the only place I have ever walked into and seen a couple GA Precisions sitting on the shelf.All the latest and greatest Tacticool rigs,suppressors,sbr's,lasers,night vision gear,tons of reloading equipment etc...now if you arent a huge fan of tacticool stuff they also have a large selection of your more common firearms as well. Basically they have all the stuff in stock that you can put your hands on that you would normally have to order blindly.   Nashville Armory has a nice inventory but nothing to write home about imo. What I like about Nashville Armory is how nice the actual store is,you go there and it almost feels like you have walked into some elite gun club.   Now if Im actually wondering around with cash in my pocket to spend I head to Guns and Leather in Greenbrier,great atmosphere nice inventory  and most importantly to me the people who work there are great. You go in there and they treat you like family,whenever someone ask me where they should go to look for a gun I send them there and when they leave thats the only place they will consider going back to when in the market for a firearms related purchase.

  No airline today is allowed to mark your bag in ANY way so as to indicate that there is a weapon inside....

No, but it is ironic since this outfit inserted themselves into national media on the cause.

Did the place really deserve to get robbed, REALLY? Is that what yall wish on the ones that do not feel the same as you do?

Sweet! A major award! Those would be awesome, but we would never get rid of them once acquired. :)

Stupid is as stupid does.

wileecoyote,   Agree with all your points.    I'm just thankful that a grateful nation spent the time and money to provide me such a weapon and most of all...., the training to use it.

LOL at the 1911 debate. I truly didn't intend to stir that pot. In fact I probably own and have built / shot / worked on more 1911s than most folks. I do like them (I like all guns, more is always better), but I dislike the idea of adding extra manual steps to the draw-and-fire scenario when fractions of a second will count and adrenaline / Murphy's Law will show up to impede your normally smooth range drills. Of course you can minimize the risk by training, but you need to do that a lot and often. In my experience most shooters never get anywhere close to practicing enough to stay as fast, sharp, and smooth under stress as they will need to be with single actions or other multi-step guns. So I think for most folks, fewer steps and the simplest process is the best way. Plus those extra gadgets leave more room for mechanical failure or defects. And then there is consistency: if you carry a 1911 I believe you should only carry and shoot similar guns during the vast majority of your training, as it becomes risky to have to learn multiple styles and switch accordingly depending on your flavor of the day, which is less likely to go smooth under stress. But I really do love my 1911s, and my many other single actions, and I have plenty of guns with extra gadgets and controls. I just don't carry them or shoot them very often, and all my defensive practice is shot with the same style of gun. Just my personal method, but I am an oddball for sure. :-)

College Professors are opportunists. The are socialists when the Democrats are in and Conservative when to Republicans are in.  Most of them burn the candle of which ever is the controlling factor and the time. It's called job Security............jmho

  I lived in Texas for 4 years while going to college.  My eyes were opened to whole new type of barbecue.  One of my buddies turned me on to this little hole in the wall joint.  Sliced brisket sandwiches with a fishbowl of beer for $3.25.  That was some good brisket.

good time for someone that is starting back.  i ran for years. started in 75 and ran five days a week. running can get into your system and you just have to do it, no matter what. most days i did two miles, some day more.  i got up every morning by 6 a.m., and was out the door by 630.  like clock work, rain or shine.  no matter how cold or hot.  then in 98 i got plantar fascia in both feet.  it stopped me in my tracks for about one year.   the doctors stopped my running.  it took lots of work and pain to get over plantar fascia.  but with the correct running shoe and hard work i got back into running. but my times were slower.  so i did longer runs, 2 to 10 miles long runs.  then i mess up my knee on the job.  that stopped my running.  i tried but was never able to get back into it.  something was off.  then i jack up the other knee on the job.  after that the running stopped.  now it is treadmill, elliptical, and exercise bike in front of the tv.  get a good running shoe.  get a running shoe that fit the way you run.  use the shoe for running only.  i went to virginia runner in fredburgs virgina for shoes.  they put me on a treadmill and video me running to find the correct shoe.  it came down to two brands and i got to try them on their tract before buying.  the correct running shoe up my running game and empty my pocket.  new shoe every three months.  

Unless someone's chasing me, I don't see a need to run.  Actually I find it completely boring.  I need to be doing something, but can't bring myself to run.  I would love to get a group of guys together to play basketball or something to get some cardio without the monotony.  I know some people love it, but I have just never enjoyed it.

Personally I watch whatever I want to watch without putting too much thought into it. The movies are entertainment and the actors are there to entertain not make a political statement. I do not try to think of actors as anything more than actors while on screen and most times off screen.

  For Over 35 YEARS!!!!!!!!!  :eek:

  I've Been..... :ugh:

I don't blame anyone for not wanting to be a target. However, I have several stickers on the back glass of my vehicle. Some of my stickers are zombie related, some are USMC stickers to honor my son, who's in the Marines, but most are gun related stickers. I enjoy them, they make me happy and they are indicative of who I am. I refuse to hide my personality or beliefs out of fear of ANY kind of retaliation.

In all honesty I think the days of really good Bar-B-Que is gone. I know that most all Bar B-Que pits have quit saucing the meats while they are cooking like I was raised on. There use to be places where folks would pit whole hogs and sell it out in their front yards on weekends and it was never dry but some of the best ever. Some folks would make hot while others made mild and folks would go buy which ever they wanted but state stopped all that years ago because the meat was not USDA inspected.  I know it would mean cooking 2 different types of meat at the same time both some hot and some mild but at least it would not all be dry when you bought it................jmho

I have a border collie....her name is Maggie. Smartest damn dog in the world as far as I'm concerned. We have taught her most anything you can teach a dog and she picked it up lickity split. :pleased: As you can see she has that motherly instinct.

I do agree with you on this guy speaking for our gun rights but I want folks that do open this link and read the replies to pay close attention to the last reply. It says  " So Ironic as this was one of Jesse's favorite places to eat till she was "Murdered in Aurora!!!" Ok here is a woman raising hell at a company that up until all of this began was a gun friendly Zone. Her daughter was Murdered in a "GUN FREE ZONE"  It is fact, you can't fix stupid because she wants to create another GUN FREE ZONE!!!!

This is Kennedy, Weimaraner. He turned 10 in March.

I fully support the right to open carry, but I really wish these guys would stop doing this.

I'm taking a $145 beating on a SIG in the classifieds, and STILL none of you want it. I got an offer of $400!! WTH?   This site used to have good folks that would pick up a decent deal, and not try to gouge when selling. Now, it's dang near as bad as a gun show.

Surprised there's no Rambo on this list. ;)   Try My Way.  It's in Korean and Japanese, but it's a well-made movie from a point of view we in America don't see very often.
