  1. I thought you guys would enjoy this. Here is a picture of the 2nd Amendment Foundation proudly displaying the check they had cut from the City of Chicago as a result of being awarded legal fees ($399,950 to be exact) they incurred to successfully fight and win the McDonald v. Chicago case in 2010. They posted it on their Twitter feed to kick off their public relations campaign in support of their new lawsuit against Illinois regarding restrictions in there nascent CCW law. Here's hoping they bring home another win, and another big fat check!

  5.   No, because except for on school property, there is now no statute that prohibits carry of any type or length knife.   And there never was a 6" state limit even before, just making it up as he goes I guess.   - OS

  6. Bike.... Ya may have missed the point; and i'll confess to not makin it too clear... The point is that three things contribute to incapacitating animals (...yes, and hoodlums...)... Bulllet placement, wound channel width, and penetration; ergo the "white hunter" point...   The "white hunters" needed for the great creatures they hunted, often at close range, to be incapacitated quickly... That was accomplished by a quick loss of blood, hitting of a vital organ (... heart...) and penetrating deeply to make the wound channel and blood loss very quick... The sad truth is that it's the same way with humans... God forbid than any of us would have to stop a hoodlum from hurting us or someone in our care....      Forgive us old grumps for being incredulous at the "under-penetration" thing; but it's true...   I happen to be in the camp that believes that there is plenty of snake oil baloney out there conjured up by the ammo folks to sell "premium self defense" rounds... Hollow point rounds have been around a long time, you could even buy them when i started reloading in the seventies; and, yes, they were available for both pistol and rifle calibers... The fact is that there is nothin new under the sun; but lots of folks seem to be enamoured by these "advanced" bullets... As others have opined, the Glasser slug has been the only real breakthru in self-defense ammo...   The "new, improved hollowpoints are simply old wine in new bottles... The problem with hollow points is that they can mushroom too quickly and do the "flesh wound" thing... Ya simply cannot deliver "flesh wounds" and efficiently stop whatever varmint ya are shootin at; be it four legged or two legged...    Michael Brown was shot 7 times if i remember right... He ran away from a cruiser, turned around, and almost made it back to the cruiser before he fell...   I'm willin to bet that he was shot with 40 caliber "magic bullet" hollowpoints...      By the way, "all situations ain't different"... Sadly, they are all the same --- you are tryin to stop the threat...  That may mean quickly stopping folks that may be high on dope or just plain mean is serious business... At the end of the day, that's what this is all about... Here's hopin that no one has to face that terrible task....    Forgive us for being insensitive... We were, however, trying to be truthful...   leroy

  8. One of my grandsons is getting an average of 50 to 60 hours a week now and has been for about a month. He asked one of his supervisors if they knew how long the overtime was gonna last and all the guy could say was he had no idea. My grandson called me gripping and bitching about all the overtime and how he had no time on weekends to do anything but rest up on Sunday for the next week. I told him, " Do you remember 4 years ago when you were working for all those Temp Services and barely scraping by and worried all the time about being able to pay your bills. I do because it was me loaning you a few bucks here and there to get you through the week. I finally had a friend of mine get you that job you have now and you have gotten three raises, a newer car, checking account and savings account and your own place by listening to ole Grandpaw. Now listen one more time to him. Shut up, quit your bitching and enjoy all the overtime you can get because over time was always a blessing to me and you will have plenty of time to spend the money when the overtime ends." He said , "That is why I always call you instead of Mom and Tommy Grandpaw." They agree with me all the time and you give me pep talks."............................... :rofl:  :rofl:

  11. They aren't our of spec per say. Anderson uses a special anti friction coating and it is a bit thicker than standard anodizing. You may even find that the upper is rather fitting especially the rear tab. Once you wear down the coating in those areas it'll fit more like normal. Kinda like it starting tight as posed to loose.

  12. This is my shout-out to a group that did something quite unexpected and very nice for me.     Did you ever have a moment when you knew that you would be a rabid fan of a company?   I had one this afternoon with SLR Rifleworks  (they were suggested to me by our very own member - Lumberjack)     I had ordered one of their adjustable gas blocks for my TGO build -   http://slrrifleworks.com/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=Sentry+7&product_id=128   ......and had a minor hiccup.    I first emailed them at ~10:20pm on a Sunday evening, and they replied THREE (3) minutes later  (!!), and promptly made an arrangement to my satisfaction.   *then* - two weeks later, my order was fulfilled yet again.....uh-oh....   Called them - explained the duplicate.   Their response - "no problem.  Why don't you just keep it and use it on your next build!  Send us pictures!"    This blew my mind. 110% all the way (which was plenty enough), and then an awesome gesture to a fellow who really needed the unexpected pick-up in low moments of life.   SO, I had read good reviews about the performance of their gas-blocks.  I have yet to install mine, and will report back as soon as the TGO 204Ruger is up and running; but I can attest to the solid character of the vendor. I will be an enduring customer and cheerleader for SLR.  Cant wait to get started on the next build too.   Bert

  18. Now all silliness aside, let's create a "what if" scenario. What if Ebola was weaponized into a very aggressive strain (http://www.google.com/patents/US20120251502 not trying to fear monger, more a curiosity than anything) AND went airborne? Would you have the preps on hand to survive such a outbreak? I know I don't as I need hazmat gear and a mask. DISCUSS!

  20. Not knocking the overtime. I welcome it. Was told today that overtime will be now until at least february of next year. Ramping up production in a few weeks and we are going to split into two shifts. Luckily, I'm on day shifts( which for a while won't see much if any sun). But it'll be worth it.   This week we have been working 12 hour days. I told the fiancee not to plan anything for a while. I may just only get one day a week off or no time off some weeks. Which if anyone has a family will be tough, but well worth it in the end.   Know I love the extra $$ i'm earning.It's a lot better than working retail or not having a job altogether.

  22. I like the feel of my Ruger SR40c, it conceals well and is a great shooter. Only have it for sale to try and consolidate some stuff and free room. Never been a Glock fan but I still have not grabbed a Gen4 so who knows. The M&Ps are amazingly comfortable to me as well. One of them is high on my list for next purchase.

  23. I'm a devoted M&P fan, and have 3 M&P 40s; compact, full size, and 5" Pro. I highly recommend them! All of mine are excellent shooters and have been nothing but perfect. I already have a bunch of 'em and that deal at Bud's even has me contemplating getting 1 or 2 more! One for each car, bug out bag, etc... I already have a bunch of mags for them, and a few more never hurts. I think they're great guns, and for me much more comfortable than any of the guns Glock has put out. Yes, I've tried every generation of Glockand many models... none of them vibe with me. Of course, everyone is different. Handle one of each and see what you like. (Then buy the Smith! Haha!)

  26. I have what's left of a great ladder stand overlooking a power cut in Wayne county but some of these crap heads stole the ladder portion out from under the seat.  They couldn't get the whole thing as I had it locked with a cable to the tree yet they still took what they could.  The things that run through your head when you find this crap.  That's why this year I'm hunting some during the week so I might get to greet a few of the neighbors down there.

  29.   Unless you are a great collector of blades like some un-named persons here...I agree with your comments.   I've been bitten, but after this weekend...I believe the disease is beginning to recede.   Bought a Microtech Troodon, and some other stuff. Looked at a lot of knives. :stunned:  :stunned: :stunned:     Like the Troodon quite a bit  and the Dark Angel willis mentions looks very good, but I think after the Godfather, I'm going to hold off on this new "drug".   It is more costly than guns, without a doubt.

  40. It's not that you look funny or anything. Your problem is your to nice. When I go to Academy or someplace similar I quit being nice when I clear the door on my way in. Once inside I am a customer and being a customer I will ask for help once and that person better not try and leave me until I am done shopping in their department. If they do they don't try to do it twice because my nice is not with me. I left it at the door when I walked in. I don't mind getting rude to get my point across in a store if they want my money. Quit being so nice and quit being a "Shadow"......  When you walk into a business your not there to serve them. Your there for them to serve you and share your hard earned money with them. Make them earn it.....................jmho
