Spent some time this morning at the reloading bench making up some 9mm test loads using Berrys 115 gr round nose plated bullets and some CFE Pistol Powder. Went to the range to try out some 208gr 308 win loads. Then went to the Dr office to find out this: I'm going to be a dad again! My wife is 8 weeks pregnant so should be around the middle of April when the baby arrives.

Shouldn't they be busy raising their kids or something?

  Which is much better than dickless

Never created an account and never will.  

Personally, I wished we had him back on day one of O's regime. A lot of people love to hate Bush, but i don't think he wanted to "fundamentally transform" the USA into O's spread the wealth campaign. Bush did things I didn't agree with, but i don't think he and Obama are even in the same league.

Morning willis. Paid for #5 this morning. Sorry to be late, gun purchases got out of hand.

Did you just suggest his logo be KKK? :rofl:

[quote name="LINKS2K" post="1186172" timestamp="1409805654"]No way! Bush was a world class Wiley Coyote f*ck up. I'll beat some of the parrots to the punch by saying so is Obama, but without W's ego and Haliburton/ Cheneys greed we would be dealing with some other crisis other than Isis that comes from our medling around in the middle east. You must remember than I'm in the blame Bush crowd. In my opinion, Bush gave us Obama on a silver platter. It could have been worse. Bush was so bad that I'm surprised that neither of the self serving reverends didn't run and win the presidency.[/quote] Not only did Bush give us O, he gave us ISIS. If we hadn't taken Saddam out in 03, the entire region wouldn't have been destabilized and ISIS wouldn't exist.

Sure, he can think that all he wants. It seems to make him feel better about being broke and dependent on mommy. Point is, I could care less if someone had a penis tattooed I their face. I just think it's ridiculous that folks believe the rest of society should conform to them when they are in no position to require things of other people. A business doesn't have to hire you. If you do something to your outward appearance that is perceived to be unprofessional, whether you interact regularly with customers or not, I would not hire you. A lot of folks feel that way. That doesn't make them ignorant. That makes them more concerned with their business than the feelings of someone who would rather "express himself" than be employed.

He would get  a lot more favorable reaction if he carried a sign with his grievance on it so folks would know what he is protesting. He may even find someone that could help him with his problem..............jmho

  Once upon a time there lived a beautiful Queen with queenly large breasts. Nick the Dragon Slayer was obsessed over the Queen for this reason. He knew that the penalty for his desire would be death should he try to touch them, but he had to try. One day Nick revealed his secret desire to his colleague, Horatio the Physician, the King's chief doctor. Horatio thought about this and said that he could arrange for Nick to more than satisfy his desire, but it would cost him 1000 gold coins to arrange it. Without pause, Nick readily agreed to the scheme. The next day, Horatio made a batch of itching powder and poured a little bit into the Queen's bra while she bathed. Soon after she dressed, the itching commenced and grew intense.   Upon being summoned to the Royal Chambers to address this incident, Horatio informed the King and Queen that only a special saliva, if applied for four hours, would cure this type of itch, and that tests had shown that, among all of the citizens of the kingdom, only the saliva of Nick would work as the antidote to cure the itch. The King, eager to help his Queen, quickly summoned Nick. Horatio slipped Nick the antidote for the itching powder, which he put into his mouth, and for the next four hours, Nick worked passionately on the Queen's large and magnificent breasts. The Queen's itching was eventually relieved, and Nick left satisfied and was hailed by both the King and Queen as a hero. Upon returning to his chamber, Nick found Horatio demanding his payment of 1000 gold coins. With his obsession now satisfied, Nick couldn't have cared less knowing that Horatio could never report this matter to the King and with a laugh told him to get lost. The next day, Horatio slipped a massive dose of the same itching powder into the King's underwear. The King immediately summoned Nick.           The moral of this story is:  PAY  YOUR  @#$%!$&  BILLS AND KEEP YOUR PROMISES!!!!!  

  President Bush took almost unfair advantage of the post 9/11 patriotic fervor.  Voting against another Iraq war was a non-starter for any politician or else they would be demonized as soft on terror.  It wasn't a fluke that the vote took place in October 2002, the month before that years mid-term elections.  They knew that election would keep enough votes in their favor.    The truth is that his administration (especially Cheney, Rumsfeld & Wolfowitz) were looking towards Iraq as they were still cleaning rubble in NYC and at the Pentagon.  Every memoir I've read from the Bush administration can attest to that.  They went looking for a fight in Iraq despite having no legitimate reason and got what they wanted.

Those games are like crack. I typically unfriend the people who repeatedly send request. I hate those games.

Raoul, I'm with you. I just don't have or see me having a need for it. My wife, however is rapidly becoming and addict since we got smartphones.

My prob with it is simply getting around on anyone's page. It's just not set up logically enough to find anything, always seems like a random day to day experience. Maybe that's the attraction for some, it being so "immediate" only,  but not for me.   So I never cared about creating my own, or really following anyone else there ... guess I'm more attuned to a blog format than a FB one.   - OS

It is because you aren't friends with me....I have posts about tacos I invent, deer feet I have in my freezer, and other random thoughts of my mind Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

  Iconoclastic comedians by nature offend x number of folks x part of the time, from Lenny Bruce to Redd Foxx to George Carlin to Andrew Dice Clay to  ... etc.   Joan was both mainstream and edgy, depending on venue. Uncensored she was often in the "too soon?" moment, and got her share of groan responses from the audience.   But like she'd say, F ya if ya can't take a joke, and don't buy a ticket. ;)   - OS

  Because Bush and Cheney pulled the wool over everyone's eyes, and if they couldn't do that they strong-armed them; and the kicker was they did both to Colin Powell, whose UN testimony tipped the balance on The Hill. His whole report was a shameful exercise in hurriedly-compiled and revised half truths at best and outright lies at worst. He at the least strongly suspected it was bogus at the time, knew it was afterwards, and has recanted it since;  and is the reason his political career ended.    - OS

How about I let you use a pot, ladle and mold? Yes you can take it home. Send me a PM if you like.

You don't hear that truth mentioned around here very often.

  Well, Dubya's dick was main reason we went into Iraq in the first place, so I'm not exactly keen on purely testosterone based government policy.   - OS

Don't do dumb stuff and don't loose the ability to fly!

Don't pass up the chance to visit the National Firearms Museum.  Its located just west of DC off of I-66 at the NRA HQ in Fairfax, Virginia.   http://www.nramuseum.org/

How the heck is carrying an empty shotgun around the courthouse protesting against a pleaded-down DUI arrest?

Sadaam proclaimed that he had WMD, UNSCOM and the IAEA beleived him. EMIS units were found, as well as warheads tipped with Sarin gas. Sadaam brought most of this down on himself by overstating his then-current capabilities with just enough evidence to get his clock cleaned with good reason.

  I reckon you're talking to me. OK... I'll send it along asap.

Ladies and gentlemen , the call has been made , the war cry has been announced. Hear it from far and wide , let's get this done or it may not happen again !

Lets go folks, there are several of you out there who officially stated that you want one or more that have not paid yet, one way or another this run will happen 

I never accept the games, that is what killed myspace for me.  I was always trying to get more players and kept inviting anyone that would play a game.  I dont' recall how many people I had on my site but I was like only know like 5 of these people.  I ended up just never logging back.

I use one exactly like this that I bought from a machine shop for about 1/3 price as new. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000R896BO/ref=s9_simh_gw_p469_d1_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-4&pf_rd_r=04CX71EC0NH09SN3QMS8&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200482&pf_rd_i=507846

I'm amazed that some people give a rat's butt what someone else does to their own body. Sure, I look at someone who's done something to their body and may shake my head, (like stretch-out their earlobes with rings), but at the end of the day I don't care what they do to their selves. At least tattoos aren't like smoking.

Had a kid prank call me and leave a message telling me hes from metro and wanted to talk with me. He got a big surprise. Almost ordered a can from the Silencer shop, when i found the closest ffl was everything weapons, and another LGS, I backed out left the can in the cart. closed some work out, so I'm heading to the range to practice for 3 gun at Manchester this sunday

My vote would also be a Glock 19/17/26 and as many 33 round magazines that you can afford. Cheap, reliable, countless accessories, can be carried, depended on, and with the 33 round happy magazines you can have just as much fun as you could with one of the "others" although with them you likely cannot fill the check box next to many of the advantage that a Glock has.   But if you want something else then that's a good enough reason for me.

  For the Lulz man. the lulz.   My entry:   Music City Coatings ( MC2 )   Good luck! Oh, and get yourself listed as an applicator on Cerakote's website bro!

He kind of sounds like a person that might snap, hearing how bitter he is over getting caught driving drunk. He couldn't pass field sobriety test, got the charge lowered to reckless driving, and he's still bitter enough to want the LEO fired and is protesting it with a gun? They might want to keep an eye on this one.

G26 & G23, no problems.

If you still want something like a Tec-9, look for a Kimel AP-9.  Similar, but more reliable.  I have a friend who has one.  It always works.   Edit:  The trigger is still horrendous, though.

I agree, Stihl is the stuff.  Of course emissions regs have made the new ones less powerful than the old ones.  According to a friend of mine who uses them more than I do, it may be better to find one a few years old in good condition.     And, also according to him and the guys at ACE Hardware, the Pro models can be torn down and rebuilt, especially in the field, whereas the home models are not made quite as robust and serviceable.  Which makes sense.   I have an 025 I bought around 2002.  Ran like a champ until last year.  I thought the coil (magneto, whatever) had gone bad.  So I replaced it with an off-brand.  It ran for a few minutes then quit again.  I bought a Stihl brand and it still wouldn't start.  Took it to ACE and one of the guys took the carb off and messed with it a little bit.  Fired right up and hasn't quit since.   A friend of mine has an Alaskan mill.  So I'm going to try to find a good used 046 or 066 (or 440-whatever, or 660.  I've lost track of their model numbers now that I don't use them for a living anymore) pretty soon.   I've used a few Husqvarnas and they're good saws, but they're a PITA to tear down and clean.

With the war going on now for what, 12-13 years, ebay and craigslist is full of military body armor and ESAPI plates. Nothing needed but cash, and some even barter so there is certainly no shortage of ways to get your hands on this stuff. Now that being a contractor overseas is so common, civilian body armor sales are going pretty strong and that armor is also available for private purchase. I think anytime the government gets involved with banning stuff, only those that want to stay on the right side of the law will be effected. And for those of us that have body armor already, they will probably grandfather it in if they do make it illegal to buy in the future.

There is a button, it does exist.  It use to be called the United States of America!  We have the tools, we have the means, but the leadership has no stomach!  Why?  There is no denying, the leadership panders to its own party!

Business is booming for gun-friendly companies   Business is booming for gun-friendly companies   Welcoming armed customers can attract Second Amendment rights activists, deter crime   By Kelly Riddell - The Washington Times - Monday, September 1, 2014   The owners of TBonz Steakhouse in Augusta, Georgia, decided to be proactive when Republican Gov. Nathan Deal signed into law one of the most comprehensive pro-gun bills in the country this April, which allowed firearms into the state's bars and restaurants.   The eatery hung up a "No Guns" sign on its front door.   Its customer backlash was so harsh and quick that the steakhouse immediately took down the sign and then posted a mea culpa on its Facebook page. "The sign that was put up regarding firearms has been removed," TBonz said in its Facebook posting this May. "It was our intention to get the attention of IRRESPONSIBLE gun owners. But then we realized that irresponsible gun owners do not pay attention to signs."   Carrying rights are now a reality in every state, while only three states — Maine, North Dakota and Illinois — claim a complete ban on guns in restaurants or any establishment that derives more than half of its profits from alcohol. In many states, including Ohio, it's up to the customer to refrain from drinking alcohol while carrying a firearm — which can be an operational headache. Some remain silent on the issue, essentially giving a free pass to carry. While each state's bill is written differently and has varied licensing requirements, most give restaurant and bar owners the right to "post" their establishment — that is, to tack a sign onto their door either prohibiting or allowing guns.   After the 2012 Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting, many national chain eateries, including Starbucks, Sonic and Chipotle, told their customers to leave behind their weapons — homing in on what they believed to be a rising national antigun sentiment.   However, many smaller restaurants and bars are embracing guns, telling patrons to come in and eat armed for a variety of reasons, including not angering their own customer base, to attract Second Amendment rights activists and to not leave themselves vulnerable to crimes by blatantly stating everyone in the joint is unarmed.   The Cajun Experience in Leesburg, Virginia, has Second Amendment Wednesdays, where patrons are encouraged to either go concealed carry or open carry.   "This is a Virginia restaurant, and we abide by Virginia state laws, which allow for open carry or concealed carry in a restaurant — so why should I hinder it? It's our constitutional right to bear arms," said Bryan Crosswhite, owner of the Cajun Experience. "We definitely see more traffic since we started this. It's been an overwhelming response."   In addition to owning a gun-friendly eatery, Mr. Crosswhite has started an organization that lists other pro-Second Amendment companies nationally, called www.2amendment.org. He started the venture this winter and already has 57,000 businesses signed on.   Gunburger.com is another registry where Second Amendment activists keep a log of both gun-friendly shops and the anti-Second Amendment stores in Arizona and Kansas. They meet monthly to both update the list, converse and eat and drink with their weapons in a firearm-friendly establishment. Local shops who show the love to gun-toting customers are getting it in return.   Sharma Floyd, owner of Shiloh Brew & Chew in Maryville, Tennessee, has gained national media attention by putting a sign in the window of her restaurant welcoming firearm owners with permits, and business has been booming. At Shooter Grill in Rifle, Colorado, waitresses are packing. All Around Pizzas & Deli in Virginia Beach gives discounts to patrons who show up armed.   And at Chicken Express in Bossier City, Louisiana, a free combo meal was given to patrons who showed up with a concealed carry license this April. Owner Randal Neel said it was the busiest Saturday the store has ever had.   The new deal wasn't just to generate more business — although it certainly didn't hurt — but to stand up for gun owners' rights as state legislators discuss new gun legislation, Mr. Neel told his local ABC affiliate, KLTV.   "It feels really good to be able to stand up for what you believe in," Mr. Neel told the television station.   Some bar owners whose states allow concealed carry prefer to let their customers guess who may or may not be packing rather than plaster a sign onto the door banning all guns.   "I thought if you would go and put up a sign saying 'No concealed carry,' what if a crook came in and realized he was the only one with a firearm? Why should I post that?" said John Kavanaugh, owner of Kavanaugh's Esquire Club in Madison, Wisconsin. "There's never been an issue about it. We have such a variety of customers — older, younger, a lot of families — and I stay out of the mix."   Mr. Kavanaugh isn't the only store owner who believes mum is the word.   Stephanie Evans, owner of Wings on the Run in Greenville, South Carolina, was grateful she kept a firearm at her place of business.   In January, about 10 minutes to closing, an armed masked man barged through the restaurant's door demanding she open the cash register.   Simultaneously, a coworker ran to the back, got out the store's firearm, shot twice, nailed the robber, and had him on the run.   "Nothing was stolen. I'm so glad we had that firearm," Mrs. Evans said of the ordeal. "I'm not sure what would've transpired had we not."   The South Carolina legislature passed a bill this year allowing for concealed carry in restaurants. No sign has been posted on Mrs. Evan's door either for or against firearms.   But that's not true elsewhere.   The Pit Authentic Barbecue in Durham, North Carolina, decided to take a different approach when North Carolina made it legal to carry concealed guns in bars last year. Managers swiftly hung a "No Weapons, No Concealed Firearms" sign in the window.   The barbecue restaurant was robbed at gunpoint in May. Two employees were injured, with one ending up in the hospital.   The restaurant has stuck to its guns: It still doesn't permit concealed carry.       © Copyright 2014 The Washington Times, LLC.      http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/sep/1/gun-friendly-businesses-bars-restaurants-growing-i/  

  That's pretty much exactly what will happen here.  As much as I would like to think that folks won't ruin it for us, we already have photographic proof in this thread that some folks absolutely will turn it into a contest to see what window licker will be first to shop for Fruity Pebbles with an AR-15 slug across their back.

"Nober, who originally hails from New York city, said changing the firearms culture in this country is an incredibly important issue. She described the current open-carry situation as “the Wild West.” “I’ve seen too much violence,” Nober said. “It’s hard when people are shooting in the streets ... people are carrying (guns) on their hip.” Hails from NYC, that explains a lot. I wonder where she saw "too much violence?" I'm betting NYC.

I don't have any tats.  I wanted to be different.

I tell you. It makes me wanna get mine off & my piercings removed. Fashion has destroyed every sub-culture known to man.
