A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swater.   "What are you doing?" She asked.   "Hunting flies." he responded.   "Oh! Are you killing any." She asked.   "Yep, 3 males, 2 females, " he replied.   Intrigued, she asked....."How can you tell them apart?"   He responded, "3 were on a beer can, and 2 were on the phone." :cool:

Customers. Come in; "I'm looking for a holster." "What kind of gun do you have?" "It's a ------------- (something NO ONE has ever heard of)." "Do you have it with you? No holster is gonna have that name; we'll have to find something close." "Nah, I didn't bring it." DO YOU GO SHOE SHOPPING WITHOUT YOUR FEET, YOU MORON?????  :wall:  :slapfight:

  Dude, we are talking about wether Taylor is bangable or not and you bring cancer into the conversation? Really?  :squint:  :shake:  :waiting:

dude is an ass,  I cannot explain the hate I have for his type.   His entire shtick is to make a bundle from a lawsuit.     I personally would not pee on him if he laid on the side of the road afire.

Regardless of the issue they proclaim to be doing it for, I have absolutely no sympathy for "agitators" or "activists" who, in the name of a "cause", are purposely provocative when it's really done only for their own self-aggrandizement (or financial enrichment).   The only reason I care at all about this case and about Voldemort at all is that it wastes my and your tax money every time a law enforcement officer or court has to deal with him.   One of these days he is going to screw-up and either significantly break the law and face the consequences or he will be shot by a LEO or armed citizen who believe they have to protect themselves.   "In-your-face" tactics are almost never appropriate and are seldom effective...more often than not such tactics as those employed by Voldemort and his ilk only serve to harm the very cause they claim to be supportive of.

Just because I can, I won't (agitate) in public.  I am also not a gold digger, which I believe this guy is.  They may not be able to convict on a felony charge, but the financial damage, ruin, and reputation destruction was what the doctor ordered.

I hope Joe Carr is getting your votes.

One more thing I do is mark my ramrod with a small notch or marker where it comes out of the end of the barrel with a charge loaded. Just a visual and tactile check to be sure. Sometimes if I don't get a shot that day, and I'm headed back out in the next morning, I'll leave it loaded and just pull the cap. Just don't bring it into a warm house and then back out in the cold again. Condensation and such.

I have no sympathy for an agitator asking for it, but....   If this guy has a history of anything, it has been carry weapons around and not killing people, over and over and over.   If he's prooved he's a threat to anything, he's a threat to his own ambition and cause.

There is a lot of things our Constitution provides for us but that does not mean we have to go around parading them to the world everyday just to draw attention to ourselves. As for me. when I am out in the public I want to be as invisible as possible and just take care of the business I have left my home to take care of and then I want to get back home and know I am in a safe place once again..............jmho 

I've always thought she looked... weird.  Kind of like an alien grey or something.  My wife's family has been in the music biz for quite a long time now and the story in the industry is pretty much that she's proof that a lot of mommy and daddy's money can buy you fame if they play their cards right.

Are you tired of ugly, dull edges? Or maybe you're sick of going to the gun shows with a sack full of knives to be sharpened at $5 or more dollars a piece. Maybe you just wanna be the envy of your friends with mirror polished, straight razor sharp, hair popping edges? I'm gonna show you how to take a mediocre edge to mirror polished and hair popping in just a few min. for about $20 worth of material. The first thing you need to do is run to walmart and pick up a few things. You will need: 220 grit sand paper (optional) 400 grit sand paper 600 or 800 grit sand paper Mothers aluminum polish Mouse pad Super glue Cedar clothes hangers Rubber bands My total on this was $20.73 at Walmart. You can do it cheaper if you have some or all of this stuff in the shop. So gather your materials The first step is to super glue the mouse pad to the cedar coat hanger board, material side down, rubber side up. Any good flat board of appropriate size will work. Then trim to size. Now add your 220/400 grit sand paper and secure with rubber bands. It is easier if you trim it to fit, but you don't have too. Use 220 if you are reprofiling a very bad edge, or 400 if the edge is already in decent shape. These are the edges we are starting with. The bowie is already belt sanded to 320 grit. The case is my work knife and hasn't been sharpened in 2 months Now, with a draw stroke motion, drag the knife edge across the sand paper. You will need to find what angle and pressure works for you. I use a low angle and moderate pressure for mine. I draw mine 45 strokes per side. This gives me a count so my edge stays even. You can color the edge with a sharpie to make sure you hit the whole edge when you first start to help you find your perfect angle and pressure. Added by Broomhead BTW, if you use wet/dry sand paper, add some type of oil to it, I use 3-in-1. It'll create a slurry which will, A. Keep the paper from clogging up so fast by floating the metal shavings, B. Increase the effectiveness of your work by reusing the released grit, C. Make your strokes smoother for fewer errant scratch marks before continuing on to the next higher grit, and D. Keep your blade oiled. When the oil starts to get too thick, wipe the blade and add a little more oil. If the paper seems to stop cutting, replace it and add more oil. I doubt you'll need to do either for a knife or two, but you might need to if you're doing a lot.<br /><br />Also, gently wipe your blade with a paper towel, shop rag, etc, before moving onto the next higher grit so you won't scratch your nicely sanded blade halfway through that higher grit and have to redo your hard work. Next swap out for the 600 or 800 grit sand paper and do the same thing. A 600 will have a more aggressive bite while 800 will make a cleaner slice. Another 45 strokes and you should have a sharp workable edge. But its still not to the standards we are looking for. My phone died so I dont have pictures of this edge. Now if you are like me, you may not have an appropriate piece of leather. If you do, use that for the next step. If not, use the box your sand paper came in. Trim it to fit the mouse board and mount it with the rubber bands undied/un colored side up. Add a finger full of the mothers in streaks. Now strop with light to moderate pressure. I use 30 strokes per side. This will make a mirror polished hair popping edge. Now test out your edge and enjoy the results. I hope you have all enjoyed and learned something from this little tidbit of info. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I would love to see some comments if this has helped you out, and I'll be happy to try out and add any suggestions you might have to the write up.

My #2 son turns 9 next week.  He loves airplanes, and we have been on few flights using commercial aircraft.  However, I thought about taking him on a local flight with one of those small aircraft, so he could see the surrounding area.  Are there programs or other ways where someone can take a father and son on maybe an flight from a hometown airport for maybe 30 min to an hour?  Not looking for volunteers, but programs.  I live in Monroe County, which has a small airport in Madisonville, but what about other places.  Is there such a program?  Or is it truly you have to know someone willing to take you along for a joy ride?

Now THAT is some good information to have!

Don't get me started buddy, I know your pain.

In Sevierville?  Why?  WHYYY??? :cry:   I hate that county.   At least you're not too far from the interstate.   Maybe I'll make the trip after the last colorful leaf has fallen from the lowest elevation in the Smokies.

I was able to get the Diamondhead iron sights zeroed at 25 yards today, they are awesome. The diamond aperture is great, much more natural than a round aperture. Anyways, I threw a Vortex 3.5-10x50 scope on top and tested how this RF barrel would group. I am happy with it, with a better scope I could likely squeeze them in a bit tighter. For the price, I am very satisfied with performance - remember this is a 16" chrome lined barrel with a ALG Combat trigger. This is at 50 yards with 69gr SMKs. I wasn't paying enough attention, I think the far low shot in the white that the caliper arm is next to was from a different group not pictured, but since I didn't mark it before shooting the 69grs I included it anyways. 77gr SMKs at 100 yards. 69gr SMKs at 100 yards. And here is another 10 round group of 69gr SMKs from the 18" WIlson Arms barrel.

Thank's for the report!   Sounds like it's time to make a Bass Pro/Beef Jerky store/SMKW and now Bud's run.

Seems I'll be cooking up a big pot of crow pie for some folks...  I've been saying for 3 years Palmer vs Washington DC was the gateway to removing bans on carrying firearms and turn it into a right.  If (and it should be unless somebody on SCOTUS dies in the next 18 months) this ruling is upheld, it will be a watershed for 2nd Amendment rights.   Clearly under this ruling - should it be upheld, TN complete prohibition against long gun carry would be unconstitutional.

I doubt the gun industry is any different than anything else anymore. I've had 3 engineering jobs in 3 different industries and seen it happen in all 3.

Nice choice. The G19 is the only Glock I like. My experience with snubbies was similar to yours.

FTFY

Everybody needs a Glock 19. You done good!

  Just a suggestion but I found this tool made the job much easier.   http://www.midwayusa.com/Product/199200/wheeler-engineering-screwdriver-bit-s-and-w-rebound-slide-spring

The airshow is a great idea. Rides in vintage airplanes are always a blast. Another thing I would suggest is to find a local flight instructor/ flight school that can take you and your son on a "Discovery Flight". I still have a Flight Instructor Certificate myself, and I instructed when I was building time for the airlines but haven't flown a small plane in a long time otherwise I could more help. A discovery flight is just an introduction to learning to fly airplanes. It is usually 30min but could be longer if you wish. It would give you and your son an opportunity to not just ride in the back of a small plane but to feel the controls and learn some basics. If your son (or you) ever wanted more, you would have a good resource for the future. The right instructor should not make this flight too technical since your son is young but rather make it a fun and casual flight. I started my first lessons when I was 15 though, so beware the "bug" bites at an early age. Lol You guys will have a good time getting up in the air. You just need to find the right local flight instructor with experience and good personality. Have fun! Here are a couple of links that might point you in the right direction. Edit (fixed the link): http://flighttraining.aopa.org/learntofly/school/flight_schools/ http://www.tennessee-flightschools.com/tennessee-discovery-flights.php

I'll be making this change on mine soon!

I have a big ugly set of grips for a j-frame that distribute the recoil and make it easier to shoot.

I'm going to throw out two grips that I've found to work on the J-frame and still make it just as easy to pocket carry but has controllable recoil.     I ran across a set of these at a small gun shop for about half retail so I bought them.  http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_764629_-1_757998_757843_757837_ProductDisplayErrorView_N   I know you're saying, are you crazy putting wood grips on a J-frame... but don't knock it until you've tried the right set of grips.   I think what made it work for me was it filled the palm of my hand perfectly and didn't allow the gun to try and move in my hand.   I could shoot numerous rounds of +P loads with no problem.   I used those grips for several years.  The other nice thing was the grips didn't have any drag on drawing the gun out of a pocket.      The current set of grips I've used for several years are these.   http://www.crimsontrace.com/products/manufacturer/smith-wesson/01-1680   I was listening to a podcast from Massad Ayoob several years ago talking about how much more shootable and accurate it was for him using these grips.   When Mas talks, I listen.    I found a new set on Ebay for much much less than retail and gave them a try.    I've been really impressed with these grips and will continue to use them indefinitely.  They are very small and slim but have a covered backstrap so it's still comfortable to shoot and I find myself to be more accurate and get off quicker shots with the laser.  I know some folks say lasers are a bunch of crap, but to each his own.     

Brian I wish you would mention that a so called silencer is actually a suppressor, regardless of who uses the term silencer.   Nice piece otherwise.  Congrats.   Thanks for the update.

Looking forward to it! They've been sitting there as canned food all summer, and it's almost time for action.

Like they were separated at birth.

Can't ask for more than that.

They better pull all the stops in the first episode or I might just bail on them. The last season did nothing for me. Same goes for Mad Men but since it's the last season I will finish it.   Look's like it has potential though. A fresh story away from the prison is what I was hoping for.

I gave them their chance, now I'll just badmouth them in public.  :D

He reminds me of the dalmation I had several years ago.  He preferred a whipping to being ignored.

The proper response would have been, "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't see you." Nothing wrong with common courtesy, even when you're in the right. Or say nothing at all. Then there's no motorized batboy to contend with.    As a rule, and especially when armed, never do anything to escalate even what appears to be a minor situation. Shelve your pride and be nice.    When do you stop being nice? When your inner Dalton tells you it's time to stop being nice.

Thanks for the update. Yes, we all have the right to parade around with long guns and tacticool attire, not sure that it means we should. By NOT parading around in such a fashion doesn't mean we will lose our right to do so. Legally purchasing so a firearm becomes your personal property, getting a HCP, communicating with elected servants and exercising your duty to vote for pro 2A representatives helps preserve our 2A rights.

How about just teaching the children to not touch the guns or putting the guns in a safe location out of access from children. That has seemed to work well when done properly for years.............jmho

I cant understand how it attaches without damaging the gun, which is not acceptable.  And I can't understand why its not a thumbprint reader, instead of that silly combination.  And I don't get the point, because, from their list, :   Prevent accidental shootings.  --- No, it does not.  Most all accidental shootings, or the vast majority, happen with a gun that is ready to shoot being mishandled.  Usually by the owner, or the untrained and unsupervised children of the owner, both of which are so negligent that a lock can't help because the people in question are the type that stick their hands under a running lawnmower if it does not shut off when with an idiot switch.  You can't save those sorts of people from themselves,  they will find a way. Curious children can't pull the trigger.   --- Curious children are supervised and know not to do this from training.  No one can use your gun against you.  --- yes they can.  If someone is assaulting you, you already unlocked it.  It can now be used against you. DUH? Simple "quick-click" combination.   --- is it faster than I can shoot you if I surprised you in the dark? Allows you to fire in less than 3 seconds, even in complete darkness.  -- No, your best people can do this, but the average person in a panic probably needs 10-15.  Mechanical operation.  No keys to find or batteries to fail.  -- mechanical stuff never fails, that is why I do not change the oil in my car or get the brakes serviced. Requires no modification to firearm.  -- what is that ugly lump on the gun? Becomes part of the firearm and complements its function and appearance.  -- which is it?  This is mutex to the statement above.     All in all their ad sounds like total garbage to me.   Its like a solution in search of a problem.   BAWC today so I sent em an email for some clarifications :)

  And she will give you a choice, left hand or right hand for the next month or so.

I miss Willie, Waylon, and the boys....and Jessi!

TGO, if Taylor Swift is considered "hot", "desirable", or any variation thereof...we need to have a serious discussion on what those words should really mean.

She does absolutely nothing for me.......I've asked several times, she still won't do anything for me... :rofl:

  Real country music is only played on classic retro channels now, what the write,sing,play now is some kind of generic pop they claim is country. It is not, they need to call it by a different name.

I think it's wrong to arm the state and local governments with weapons that are prohibited from the citizens.  Using history as a guide, protection from tyranny comes from the people, not the government.

I'm getting excited about the season, too! With the way time has been flying by, it'll be here in no time. $13 was a good price for the Thermacell. I was a little skeptical about deer smelling it too, but their behavior seems the same whether I'm using it or not.

  Meh.  Apple seeds contain a cyanide compound that can cause problems.  Granted you would have to eat a lot of apple seeds to be in any danger, but why risk it.  I eat the whole apple all the time, core included, by slicing the apple, but I pick out the seeds.

Another vote for the Banshee.  I'm very happy with mine.
