"Barrels are breaking apart at the crown".    A picture or two would go a long way toward lending some credibility to that statement.

I see nothing wrong, looks like a normal shooting session for me.

You may have heard on the news about a Southern California man who was put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns and allegedly had 100,000 rds. of ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured a secert escape tunnel.   By Southern Ca. standards, someone owning 100,00 rds. is considered "mentally unstable."   In Illinios he would be in jail or the Chicago Mayor's bodyguard.   In Michigan, he'd be called "the last white guy still livin in Detroit."   In Arizona, he'd be called "an avid gun collector."   In Arkansas, he'd be called "a novice gun collector."   In Utah, he'd be called"moderately well prepared," but they'd probably reserve judgement until they made sure that he had a corrreponding quanity of stored food.   In Kansas, he'd be "a guy down the road you would want for a friend."   In Montana, he'd be called "the neighborhood 'Go-To' guy."   In Alabama, he'd be called "a likely GOP gubernational candidate."   In Georgia, he'd be called " an eligible bachelor."   In North Carolina, Virginia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, & South Carolina, he would be called "a deer hunting buddy."   And in Texas he'd just be " The neighbor Bubba who's a little short on ammo."  

And if it's 22 LR he would be the wealthiest man in America

I have never heard of anything like this. These two men best not forget who they work for. I predict a new Director of the TBI, and probably a new DA in the next election. When childish arguments cause the pulling of resources we pay for; something as gone very wrong. http://www.wsmv.com/story/27651241/tbi-pulls-support-from-24th-district-after-argument-with-da

Just thought I'd post this up for anyone looking for a nice weapon light. Comes with the pressure switch too.   http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/3383/

  Good day eh!

LA is  very strict on any violations or crimes.. one of the most strict laws on any thing.. if he is guilty.. i hope he does rot in jail.. you touch kids or hit a woman. .you need to rot in hell..

I agree with you 1000%. As far as the boy regretting shooting the bad guy, I think by the death of his father by a robber bad guy he might feel more vindicated for his fathers death that bad about shooting the bad guy. At least hope it has not lasting bad feels by the boy. He was protecting his grandmother and himself.................jmho

Sad thing is, you can bet the defense attorneys in the Holly Bobo case are already planning to use this!!!

My guess is that it's a political move by Gwyn... Gwyn was appointed by Bredesen, who evidently saw to it that partisan politics were, indeed, a part of the TBI...  This one will be interestin to watch... An appointed "public servant" callin out a duly elected DA looks like a real bad move to me; from a bunch of directions.... My guess is that Gwyn has no authority to do what he threatened to do...   leroy

I have three. 7-30, .223, and 44 Mag. I have been shooting a Contender for 35+ years. You won't be disappointed.

Just wait for the 10 part Silmarillion

I would argue you can't get the same outdoorsiness without taking the shot.  You haven't had that rush of adrenaline and nerves waiting to get and take that shot.  Hunting is not just about about going to sit in a stand with a gun, or bow, or muzzleloader and waiting for some animal to walk by.  Hunting for many of us is a year round love.  It's about learning the areas you hunt, putting in the work to build food plots, or if you can't do that, scouting areas to give yourself the best chance of a successful hunt.  The difference in a "successful" hunt means many different things to many different people.  For some, it is shooting a doe for the meat, for others it is about trophy's, and in my view for real sportsman, it is about wildlife management.    I think what you need to do is get with someone who can help you have a more broad 'hunting experience".   I think everyone needs to do a good stalk hunt as for me that is true hunting, but I realize that it takes some land to do that. I realize it isn't easy to start on your own, especially if you don't have your own land to really get involved with.  I can see where it is boring for someone who has never hunted and just goes out and sits in a stand with little to no prep, expects they will get a chance to shoot something, and then see nothing.  Hunting takes time and effort.  For me, hunting is about the work before the seasons,  the chase, the adrenalin rush, and the enjoyment of being outdoors.  The last thing on my mind while hunting is the cost.  In fact, I would argue that for the hours spent, hunting for me is one of the cheapest hobbies I have per hour of enjoyment.    What I get annoyed with is people who say everything is too expensive.  I guess I am fortunate and not worried about my next meal, so maybe it doesn't affect me as much, but this as with many things is about priorities.  A lot of the same people who complain about the cost of hunting are paying $100/month for a cell phone so they can play Candy Crush.  If you are truly poor and are doing this to feed your family, I wouldn't even mind a special license available to those who can prove the need.  One can certainly save money if they butcher their own deer.  It isn't hard, but I don't think these are the people complaining.  It is the ones who want to hunt to say they have hunted, but don't realize the commitment it takes to be successful.  I will leave the cost of a gun out of it as I think even some of the poorest people out there have a gun.  I don't know a single redneck who doesn't have some rifle.   For less than $50/year they can shoot a crap load of deer compared to most states and if they process themselves (which I am sure all truly poor people do), there is a huge cost savings.     The TWRA is one of the few State organizations where the money stays with them.  While I may not agree with every decision they make, I do believe they are trying to do their best to conserve wildlife in a responsible manner.  It takes money to do that.   I consider my license fee a donation to help them do their job.  For the enjoyment I get out of hunting, it's easy for me to say $135/yr for a Sportsman License is a deal.

Sweet Jesus I'd love to throat punch that first guy. That voice!

Bingo, it's always one more crisis, EO, appointment, memorandum, or slanderous remark to keep the natives restless. I'm with Rubio and Cruz who BTW his father escaped Castros dictatorship in the 50's. The Castros are still brutal, repressive dictators and King Zero is pandering to them like he has with other dictatorships. Expect to see more tax dollars sent to support another communist regime. This idiot has more sympathy for them than he does for the American people and this country and you guys look forward to a new vacation spot and cigars......? If he really wants to do something Nobel he should wipe out the vermin killing women and children in Iraq, but we know that's not going to happen. Or how about black on black crime here in the states? Whatever, carry on. .

If it gets worse we'll have to call it Battlefield Earth.

At least we got to see how he was assassinated:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pna3cX0uBjA

You should zero the backups by themselves. It has nothing to do with the zero on the red dot. A lot of times the front sight post is in the lower 1/3 of the glass of the red dot. It depend on the type of red dot mount.

I understand that Mr. Costa has a great rep, and he's earned it. But why in the world would you post a warning about damaged guns and show pictures of targets, not damaged guns?

  I would take it as it was offered. Beware of the recently built M&P's until the word gets out and S&W gets their arms around it. I'm sure his training puts a little more strain on the guns than most applications. I'm also betting he notified S&W as well. And, I'm betting they listened.

  He's yankin' your crank

  Yes, that's what I read. He knew about the B&E's in the neighborhood. Left his garage door up a little with a purse showing to draw the potential theif into the house, When he was in the garage he shot him multiple times. He told his barber days before that he was planning on setting the trap so he could shoot the thief and that he should watch the news for the report. To me it's Premeditated murder no matter what state you are in.

I hear they can do amazing things with plastic surgery these days.

Grand Jury Indictments came down yesterday. http://www.nola.com/crime/baton-rouge/index.ssf/2014/12/former_sons_of_guns_star_will.html

  That was a dude.

Hmmm...I bet that was above the projected spending limit. lol

  Look at all the little holes that look kind of like the holes shotgun pellets would make, except with a larger spread.

Just be aware that when the container says "high temperature" or "extreme pressure" or other such generalizations... they're exactly that, generalizations.  Pretty much everything referenced here says "high temp", but when you look at the specs that ranges from 290F to 1800F.  That's quite a difference.  The MSDS will tell you what's in the grease, unless it's some proprietary mix that they want to withhold as a trade secret. 

Just think of all the classic cars that will be available. :popcorn:

and, it will come out regardless of what Sony does to capitulate.  They lost, and will continue to lose for a long time.  The hackers have no reason to abide by any "ethics".

au contraire, mon ami.   They have been doing this for years.  Use "mules" too.    It is a major "black-market" there.   I saw a extensive documentary made by a Chinese group actually doing it.  The hidden camera video was pretty cool around checkpoints and border cross-overs. It's a game of "cat & mouse"   They use lots of battery powered stuff, and memory sticks.

i got several that i used back in the 80's for silhouette matches.  they are some of the best handguns made.  

As great as that would be, we can't even get gun owners to boycott restaurants with gun busters on the door.  Getting the idiotic American public to stand for anything will be impossible.

  274 AD, winter solstice fell on December 25, an important time for the pagans, and pagan Emperor Aurelian proclaimed the date official "birth of the sun" festival day. Then in 320 a Pope also decided the date was when Christ was born. Then in 325 Emperor Constantine made Dec. 25 official state holiday of Christ's birth, thus giving both the pagans and the  Christians the same special festival date, was less disruptive of the workaday biz of the empire to have everyone goofing off on same day. :)   - OS

    Us thug dictatorships gotta stick together.

A  Scotsman and his wife walked past a swanky new restaurant.   "Did  you smell that food?" she asked. "It's smells   absolutely incredible!" Being  a 'kind-hearted  Scotsman', he thought,  "What the heck..., I'll treat  her!" So, they walked past it  again...  

I will take a few pics of the machine work. And post results from the range. I'm planning a monocore design for my 300BLK AR.

Not sure how any prez can do this without Congress since it was Congress who passed the law in '59 and signed by Eisenhower.

No matter what you're smoking, we'll suffer in the long run from this deal.  If you lie down with dogs, you rise up with fleas.

Many of us grew up with the comic books. And they don't sell much Wolverine shooting gear.

The driver consented to a search. This case probably would not have gone this far had he not done that. Don’t drive around with a broken taillight when you are drug trafficking. Sounds to me what the Officer did was a standard practice prior to this case. There have been a ton of court rulings that if the Officer made a mistake, but it was in good faith; the case goes forward. The word “unreasonable” is in the 4th amendment; it was put there for a reason. The Officer had permission to search and what he stopped the vehicle for he thought (and may well be) was a violation.   Here is the law...

seems that knee brace would be more effective under the jeans...but then again...this guy ain't about concealment, he's all about the "look at me"

H-O-N-D-A

  There you go again, OS, interrupting a perfectly good rant with facts ...

These are surely strange times we live in...

  I received my gift today and words cannot express how much I appreciate the lengths my Secret Santa, and his helper, went through to find me a perfect gift. I was honestly at a loss for words upon reading the letter. Caring enough to to do what you did on my behalf is humbling. I am sure it was not easy to find me the perfect gift but you did and I truly appreciate it more than words can say. And I can honestly say that anyone who would do what you guys did, and give me the gift you did, is a true friend. I want you guys to know that if there is ever anything you need please feel free to ask.     And for those of you who are wondering what my Secret Santa gave me, they gave me money. But what they gave me was more than just money. They also wrote a heartfelt letter, that made this gift very, very personal. And cash allows me to buy the perfect gift which, in the end, is all my, or any, Secret Santa wants for the person getting the gift.   In closing I would like to say thanks. Thanks to my Secret Santa for giving me the perfect gift and a personal letter. I would like to say thanks to Metalhead for putting this on. I would also like to thank TGO David for providing us with a place for our TGO family to come together, share our lives , our stories as well as the highs, and the lows, with other members of our TGO family.

  That actually makes a lot of sense.   I bought a Gen4 G26 sort of by accident. I really didn't intend to do it. But my buddy the fabled Rabbi was closing his old shop and it just sorta came home with me 

I have read The Hobbit many times. This will be the last Tolkien movie. I will be there.  I do not like 3D movies. I prefer to have the entire screen in focus. With 3D the background is often blurry. I grew up going to movies. I feel comfortable in the theater, especially now that I can concealed carry in them.
