Why Us Older Men Don't Get Hired Job Interview: Human Resources Manager:  What is your greatest weakness? Old Man:   Honesty Human Resource Manager: I don't really think  honesty is a weakness. Old man: " I don't really give a $hit what you think!!" Interview ended at that point!!  

Santa gave me the OK to do this... I've got a new unused set of black VZ Grips in the safe from the last time I thought I was going to buy another 1911, a Raven Concealment Phantom holster coming, and an Ed Brown snake-skin texture magwell / mainspring housing coming for it.

New Ostrich Leg Luchesse Boots. My excitement is hard to contain

Santa made it a very SUPER Merry Christmas for me! :woohoo:

Actually we got the best Christmas present we could ever ask for. Her name is Madalynn and she was here a little early for Christmas but a Christmas baby none the less. We could not be happier to have a grand daughter to spoil. Definitely changes the way you view life. My only Christmas wish is for our son to come home and met her next month. He has been deployed since July, and missed the birth, but he should be home within a month.

Well, she finally went to bed so I was able to put the wife's present under (in front of) the tree. Hope she likes it!

Got a few good things this year: A couple of tools I needed to finish up a few builds 16" 5.56 upper from PSA And my gift I opened almost a month early: a S&W Pro-Series 627-5 8 shot 357 magnum.

While I am not religious,  I can be courteous and return the Merry Christmas,  Happy Hanukkah,  or whatever greeting I am presented with.  The way I figure, I am wishing them a happy celebration, no matter what they are celebrating much like happy birthday.  I also don't have any issues allowing, not forcing, moments of silence during events and even at school.  Silence can be used for whatever the person wants, prayers, building a grocery list, or just thinking of the day ahead.   That being said, Merry Christmas for those celebrating it and a Happy New Year for all...unless you dont believe in happiness. 

Merry Christmas Patriots.

Merry Christmas to all. I pray for each and every one to have a wonderful day with friends and family today and in the coming year. And I ask for special Blessings from Him for all those who have had losses in family and friends this year. Amen.

the wife got me a set of MBUS Pro's for my SBR

Never again, I bought my boys a Foosball table, and I started putting this thing together at 10pm, and its now 2:45am, and I am about 90% complete, but 150% pooped.  Hope they understand.  Good night.  Merry Christmas. 

No firearms this year, however I'm pretty stoked about getting this-- it was a totally unexpected gift from my father-in-law... heckuva guy... I married well! and yes, although they look like "stock photos" these are pictures of the actual instrument, courtesy of Sweetwater Sound.

I honestly feel that every life matters with few exceptions. My question is if they really believed this, why have they not been marching and doing major protests in the City of Chicago were blacks are killing other blacks by the hundreds every year for as far back as I can remember? Do Black lives only count when a white man takes one in the line of duty as an officer of the law? .........................jmho

Sorry, not posting pictures of undergarments on the internets.

My very own Redneck Plunger for the commode. Advertisement claims that "If It's Brown It's Down"! [URL=http://s1053.photobucket.com/user/mootw/media/Rifles/20141225_075831_zps7boxndcb.jpg.html][/URL]

I don't think American Airlines had to respond after what they did. It was evident the man disapproved of the airlines policy so he should have gotten off the airplane and found another company to do business with. Evidently that was how all the other passengers felt also with their applauds when he departed the plane.................jmho   "Merry Christmas one and ALL"

Merry CHRISTmas Everyone!!!!! :D May God Bless you and you families and make all your Christmas wishes come true!!!

Merry Christmas my fellow TGOers.  God bless you and your loved ones.

Merry Christmas! Hope Santa brought lots of cheer and presents your way!

I hardly ever post anymore, but I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas folks..I hope everyone has a good one :)   it just started flurrying up here on the mountain :D

Merry Christmas everyone

Yes, those sorts of things do happen, but the point is they happen very rarely. They don't happen anywhere near enough to justify the "I'm in a war zone" mentality that leads to far more deaths of citizens than cops. Sorry about your friend, but I would be questioning the policies that created the situation that got him killed. The point I was making that you seemed to miss is that I don't think my job is especially dangerous. (In fact, I think there is more danger to the folks in 4 wheelers around me than to me personally.) Yet according to the data, my job is twice as likely to result in a work related fatality. Combined with the fact that the majority officer deaths on the job are due to traffic accidents and not homicide and the reality of the situation is pretty clear. Policing in this country is not an especially dangerous job. Does it have dangers? Yeah. Plenty, but not more than many other jobs that folks don't consider to be especially dangerous in nature. One can pull anecdotes and emotional arguments out of their ass all day long but the data doesn't lie.

Merry Christmas to you and your families!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all.  

Merry Christmas to all.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas all!!   Dave

Merry Christmas. Wishing everyone a very Blessed day!!

Merry Christmas everyone! Even in my ripe age of 29, I still have a hard time sleeping. Haha

Merry Christmas all! May your families be safe during the holiday season!   Lp

Merry Christmas everybody at TGO.

Come on, just get the RIA Tactical and you can afford to buy a lot of ammo.  I have a SA Loaded that Rowdy wants me to get "running'.  This isn't the first "high dollar" 1911 that I have had that runs like crap.  I have owned 3 RIAs in 3 different calibers and they all ran....out of the box.  If you need to you can always buy Wilson Combat internal parts and they will be 98% drop in, 100% in most cases, if you think you need "USA" internals.  Rock Island, made by Armscor, are probably as well cast as anything that anyone in the world can turn out but want to bash because RIA delivers at an attractive price point for the common man. 

I just love that Santa Clause! If you look very close, you'll see an eventual 25 straight on it somewhere. With stocking stuffers of a new Eddie Buar trap jacket and two flats of shells I'm ready for the New Year. PULL - BANG, PULL - BANG, BANG - PULL :up:

Lots of great presents in this thread. Santa is indeed wonderfully pro-gun and generous. :-) I acquired some new firearms earlier in the year, so I'm taking it easy on Santa this year. I'm only asking for 2 gifts from the fat man, both being delivered this week... Qty = 6 brand new Glock 21 Gen 4 pistols (.45 ACP) with night sights, extra mags, and a laser-etched gold state police badge on the slide. Obtained directly from the agency with a few extras. It's good to have connections. :D And a mint condition original factory Williams High Speed pinball machine, my favorite from the golden age of pinball. http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1176 I'm super stoked with the gifts above, but they pale in comparison to the best gifts of all: I thank God that I was born healthy in a free pro-gun country to a loving family and raised in a Christian faith, so I learned just how lucky and blessed that I am in comparison to so many others that are ill, oppressed, defenseless, alone, without religion, or otherwise suffering in the world. The fact that God has allowed me to receive so many other gifts in addition to these core blessings is almost inexplicable, thus I plan to use every single item and resource at my disposal to share and help others as much as possible, and I view every single day as yet another gift and a new chance to make a difference with someone in some way.

At the rate I'm selling guns, I feel like Santa [emoji318], but I have a few coming too...which is why I love my C&R FFL 1948 fully engraved K22 and a 1961 Browning Grade II .22 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Show what Santa brought you this year! I'll start it off because Santa came a bit early Mossberg MVP Patrol 308 S&W 617 (I helped Santa pay for this one)

My wife's grandmother passed peacefully in her sleep early this morning. At the age of 102, it really wasn't a surprise, but she was a big part of our lives.   She lived on a farm all her life, and worked her butt off every day she was able. If you were welcome, there was always a cooked meal on the table. If you weren't; she had a shotgun for that.   She was at church every Sunday morning. She raised kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, a garden, cows, tobacco, and chickens. She could mend blue jeans, or a broken heart.   There are no more like her, and she was the kind of person I aspire to be.   We could use your thoughts and prayers this holiday season.   Thanks for listening.   Greg

Santa brought me a new Yeti cooler. Didn't see it coming, and that's the best kind of present.

  Yup.   So good in fact that Santa also gave me 1000 rounds of .38 Super to run through the object that came out of that now empty plastic box!   :dirty:  

My wife knows me all too well. Bumping this old thread up with a pile i raked in this Christmas. I know these arent top notch cigars but they are perfect for a golf course.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm headed out to the stand now. We came back to west tn for Christmas. Hopefully they are moving today. I need some meat! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

   AWWWW poor babies!!! They need to get passed along because they were "traumatized" by something that did not involve them, they were not a part of and had no reason to study?????  What happened to equal rights/treatment? What happened to earning your grades and degree? They are given special treatment already.....don't study for your finals, well puppy YOU FLUNK!!!  No more handouts!!!

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess this guy doesn't have a carry permit.
