  So if bersaguy ever gets banned he should refrain from ending his posts with "......jmho" when he tries to get back on under another username?  :)

And people think we can only use an IP to ban. We have access to a lot more than just IP and we use a lot more than just the IP to sniff people who are banned out. This guy made it easy because he used the same IP which any 3rd grader can match up a string of numbers.   And we are constantly working behind the scenes trying to figure out who has come back. Do we get them all, nope, but the vast majority of members have unique writing styles and those writing styles are very unique, almost like DNA. Most often it is the writing style that starts an investigation but I also do random checks of people who have been banned days, weeks and even months after they have been banned to see if they have come back. Call it my LE in me but I find it entertaining to look for, find and then boot someone who should not be here.

He's now part of the TGO 3% :)

  He probably should ...jmho

We are our own worst enemies.

The phone did actually ring so when you hung before I answered it still woke her up. Now she thinks "Mike Gideon" is code for something else. Oh and the bruising is almost gone.   Heck if Bersaguy quit putting "jmho" at the end right now I would investigate his account to make sure it hasn't been hacked.

I notice people carrying all the time.  I don't run my mouth about it.  The guy sounds like someone who doesn't value discretion.

The NRA is probably right this time. Sometimes the best way to preserve our gun rights is to not rub the other sides noses in it.

Come on Oh Shoot, you know how that "legislative intent" works.  Lt. Gov Ramsey pointed it out for all of us on the "Parking Lot" bill, as long as the legislature means for a bill to do something, that is what it does...

I suspect that if one of those forms ever shows up at the TN DoR, the clerk won't know what to do with it.

Some tips on bubba parts:   I would avoid one with a scope mounted to the receiver cover (unless it comes with the original). I had one for a time, the fit seemed good but the scope would never hold zero. It also catches a lot of the force from the bolt flying back... it actually broke the windage off a leapers 3x9 i had on it. They make a buffer to stick in there, but.. meh.   The draganov style stocks are worthless. It moves the weight of the gun so far forward of your shoulder that you'll have to extend your other arm fully to hold it up. Not worth it.   Duckbill extended mags just make the gun heavy and impossible to shoot from prone without a bipod.   I got an adapter that allowed me to use AK47 magazines at one point, that worked well... but again, it was heavy and unwieldy.   At the end of the day it shot best in the original stock with the original parts. 

It's the TN dept of Revenue, not the IRS, but yeah, what Smith said.   Here's the form for anyone who wants to do this. http://www.tn.gov/revenue/forms/sales/r0000501.pdf

Motorcycle camping is the best. Went this past weekend to NC and did some camping and climbing. Here are a few pics: Campsite in the morning My buddy, Matt leading the third pitch Me and Ricky hanging out on the rock We got chased off the rock by thunder and lightning and rain coming in. This is Matt getting ready to rappel down. View of my shoes and the rock we just climbed up

I'm surprised this is still here. If I hadn't just spent all my money on a Ctrl and an Alt, I'd be all over this. Good guy to do business with. Delete with confidence.

My copy should be arriving from Amazon today.  It's far more convenient for me to buy from Amazon and have it delivered than it is to try and find time in my crazy-ass schedule to stop by a store and pick it up.  Plus I don't have to interact with people when I do it like this.  :D

I really don't see what he was trying to accomplish. I mean he told the brides mom. Seems like he needs to be more of an observer in silence.

Well, went to the range this morning. Had two guns to shoot I bought but had never shot. First one was the M four 22lr I bought from Jonathan. Gun performed flawlessly and was dead on at distance he said it is sighted in at. Disappointed in myself. It has been years since I shot a long gun without a Bi-pod in sitting position and it only took one magazine to remind me of why. First magazine dead on at 50 yards and every round center mass. By the end of first magazine shoulders were killing me with pain. I put in second magazine and had to quit shooting half way through it because of shoulder pain and could not hit center of target. Rested shoulders and finished 2nd mag. Got out bi-pod and sat down with third magazine and new target. 25 rounds could cover hole with half dollar center mass. Great gun, broken old man shooting.  Also shot a LCP I have bought and never shot so moved target to 15 feet and went through 2 mags 14 rounds all in the red so will be keeping that one for my Get Off Me pocket gun. Now have to decide what to do about M four 22lr since I will not beat myself up trying to shoot it.  Getting old sucks!!!!! ..................... :ugh: :ugh: :ugh:

I got bored so I decided to try my hand at stippling magazines. It's a lot easier than I thought it would be and I have a few ideas I'm going to try out for the rest of the magazines

Just got Remington 1400 round bucket for $69.99, and several 100 round premium packs for $7.99. They also have numerous bricks of 500-550 rounds for $24.99. Limit 1 bulk pack of 500 or greater and 10 smaller packs of 100 or less per customer. They have pallets full as part of their grand opening sale, but they are going to ration it and put some out each morning. This morning there was a line of about 100 people when they opened at 9 a.m., and everyone got as much as they were allowed to buy. They still had quite a bit left over after everyone had checked out.

  I worked for a place down in Tullahoma which did short-run RFID boards with SMTs. The assemblers just used one of those soldering irons I showed above. I guess a steady-hand and a magnifying glass are enough (I realize this won't work with some components).   I'm planning on trying some reflow soldering with a toaster oven. Seems people have been having some success with that.

  Yeah, I like everything, including sushi.  But can only afford the pedestrian stuff at the Chinese buffets -- would cost me 2 bills to fill up on it at a tony sushi bar.   - OS

I think it would be "safer" not to head down range when the line was hot, even if I had trained with my shooting buddies.   I understand they have trained / deployed together and probably have the skill set to operate safely in this kind of environment.   Heading down range in this particular scenario didn't appear to be a training exercise, just one guy impatient to allow the shooter to finish and wanted to get the target ready for when it was his turn.   What if the Saiga had jammed, shooter muzzle-swept the area when trying to clear and had a ND? Not probably but falls within the realm of possible.

"I personally am an endowment lifetime member of the NRA and an inductee into the Golden Eagles program," C.J. Grisham, president of "Open Carry Texas," told a CBS Dallas affiliate. "And I will rip up my cards and burn my certificates on camera if they don't change their stance."

Great! I'll pick up a spare Shield or two on the cheap while you guys go for the P22 Magnum! :D

the 180 rule is silly to me: bullets do not go out the muzzle and hang a left.  I have before and will again stand less than 180 from a live shooter if there is a good reason to do so (example, to get a cool muzzle flash pic, with an experienced and trusted shooter who knows I am there and what I am doing).  But this scenario was nothing like the 180 rule.  IMHO the target changer is 100% safe so long as the shooter does not have any freak accidents (drop-discharge type stuff, or hot-brass-down-the-shirt-dance, etc) and the shooter keeps on putting the rounds on his target.   FINE.  But freak accidents and stupidity DO happen, and that makes the scenario totally unsafe and unacceptable to me.   Worse, its unclear but the shooter seems unaware of the other guy.    Shooting is like driving.  There are things you can do that are safe.  There are things you can do that are unsafe.  There are things that are safe with pros but not noobs ("don't try this at home").  There are things that are usually safe but have risks.  And just like driving, you can't trust the other people around you outside of very specific circumstances, usually in a private setting, and not always even then...   so my final answer is: dangerous and unacceptable situation.

I watched it over the weekend on Amazon. It is an amazing movie.   Anyone else catch the fact Marcus was in a few scenes?

  Beltman gets my vote every time.  I've got several that are more than 10 years old now.  I need to order a couple more just to keep on hand in case he ever decides to stop making them.

That's why sport coats are made.

Sounds like a know-it-all to me.

There have been quite a few folks in the adult film industry who have been having their banking institutions sever ties with them due to OCP. While some of the merchant categories are legitimately shady, it really does appear that undue influence is being placed on businesses in industries that, while perfectly legal, the government finds objectionable in one manner or another.

I'm going to play devils advocate here.   All this talk about safety and breaking 180 blah blah...is all very sensible.   But,   There's a good chance that the same folks saying how stupid and unsafe this might be, are the same people who walk out in front of a moving car in the Walmart parking lot fully expecting (trusting) a complete stranger to stop his moving 3600 lbs. bullet.     Or they will Jay walk when the hand is red trusting that a complete stranger will be paying attention enough to slow down or stop and give them the right away and not get killed!?   I understand the need for being safe.  But why do people not trust other people with a gun in their hand but will trust the exact same person to be a fully competent driver operating a much larger and more deadly machine than a gun?    

[quote name="TNIIIer" post="1153892" timestamp="1401544750"]I don't see where you ppl get that we're trying to guilt anyone into joining the III%. [/quote] Because of this post: As to this... You said this: I don't need to beat my chest to prove I'm a patriot and sure don't need to be a member of anything to prove I'm willing to pick up a rifle and fight if a time came for that. Lotta folks here who have picked up a rifle to fight the enemy, fired their weapon in anger and brought back scars and metal in their bodies.

My point, is don't annoy corporations that otherwise support you.  Don't perform with wild abandon to repeat the failures of last week.  If Texas Carry wannabes have trashed relationships with two restaurant chains this month, don't try two more, because their record shows that their tactics SUCK.  Time for them to fall back and rethink how they make their point. Right now, they are just pinheads.

  If they are trying to sabotage the poll it isn't working out very well for them it seems. Seems like the pro-constitution believers are more organized than the anti-constitution liberals and socialist foriegners. Or could it be that no one hardly visits CNN's website? Kinda reminds of Air America when the liberals cryed about conservative radio not being fair when all along all the liberals had just as much of a right to air their own talk radio shows and they got a dose of reality when hardly no one ever tuned in to them. But that was Bush's fault wasn't it?

It's the state's loss.  I wonder who's brother-in-law got the job?

I have three beltman belts. They are great. I have a brown one and a black one I keep nice, and a brown one that I've worn everyday for seven years. The beltman is good to go.

Anyone who still believes there is a real and substantial difference between the Rs and the Ds has been snookered so soundly that they are no longer being scammed, they are scamming themselves.
