Guess what got finished up today now that I had some time off. Yeah, that's right, the Uzi. Pictures in all of it's anteater glory.

I just wanted to remind everyone that no matter how busy we all get in our daily lives or how crappy our day has been to never forget to hold your loved ones close to you and hug them every day and tell them how much you love and appreciate them. This goes for our friends and buddies too!    I want to NEVER regret again not saying something or giving someone a well deserved hug or thank you. So please be kind to one another!   With that said Happy New Years to everyone and I pray that hope that 2015 brings success, hope, faith and love to everyone!

How many of you remember Randy Rayburn, the local restaurateur that championed hard to keep "guns out of bars" in Tennessee back in 2009 when the State was trying to decide whether or not to allow Handgun Carry Permit holders to go armed where alcohol is served for on-site consumption?  He pretty much was the media darling of the anti movement and penned at least one editorial in the Tennessean.   Well, the Tennessean has a nice article today about the closing of his flagship restaurant, Sunset Grill after 27 years of business.  According to the article, business began to fall into a slump for Randy in 2007 and Sunset Grill just never quite recovered from it.  I guess that explains why he had so much extra time on his hands two-years later to be a pain in the ass to legally armed Tennesseans.   While the closing of his oldest Nashville property likely has nothing to do with his decision to be an anti-gun prick, karma does seem to be getting a running start in 2015...   http://www.tennessean.com/story/life/food/2015/01/01/sunset-grill-closes-year-run-nashville/21148391/    

I resolve to not make any resolutions.

I wanted to take a minute to wish everyone on TGO and their families and Very Happy & Prosperous New Year....................... :up: :up: :up: :usa:

is (at last) mostly done & ready for testing (who knows if it will actually run... but finished QA & function testing tonight) Needs optics installed, and adjusting of gas block. Oh yeah... got to install the Giessele National Match DMR trigger post testing, [url=http://s585.photobucket.com/user/HR_TR_2009/media/CIMG2398_zps43a37f39.jpg.html][/URL] [url=http://s585.photobucket.com/user/HR_TR_2009/media/CIMG2400_zpsc1d10301.jpg.html][/URL]

All true. And none of that will change one whit unless the people of Maryland do something about it. Whether by making their desires known to their legislators (ha!) or through more direct and forceful means against those doing the violating. You and I sitting here in TN aren't going to do a thing to make a meaningful difference. So I choose to exercise right to make a good choice to stay the hell away from there.

  Other than it's just wrong.

I believe that's illegal, if anyone cares.

I had family that lived in Maryland and when they passed all those laws they put their homes up for sale and moved south. Two families came to Kentucky and one moved to Extreme southern Indiana close to the ones in Kentucky. They absolutely refused to live in what one of them referred to a Hitler State................. :up: :usa:

Spent with family and friends, good beer, big outdoor fire, food and poker game inside, fire truck siren and train horns for noise when needed. Just got done, heading to bed with the loyal but spoiled rotten dog at my feet.

Thanks, I hate owning money to anyone. Since everyone is showing off their scores mine is the red one.

Be afraid Mr. Bushytail. Be very afraid.

  Shoot with it? He shot himself in the noggin with it one time :)

You don't have to tell me! It's become very apparent to me that I do not have enough income to play in this league. As the wife tells me quite often.

Otherwise, John Browning would have called for one. :usa:

    Beat me to it ...         Not necessarily, there are moments of weakness when you temporarily succumb to the fallacy that there's something that needs changing about your behavior, thankfully lethargy usually then takes over ...         Always cultivate low expectations from others, that way people are never disappointed in you, and are sometimes pleasantly surprised ...

Thinking about 70 years ago, January 1st. 1945. My dad was hit in the back, left shoulder with a piece of metal he thinks from a German morter explosion behind him, maybe an small mm.artillary round. He was taken off the front, out of the knee deep snow and sub-zero temps in Belgium and sent to an evacuation hospital in France for a few weeks of recovery. No vitals were injured, he made a full recovery and returned to the front and awarded the Purple Heart.

Spent the night dealing with drunks and heroin junkies.

  He probably hates it, since they were using Lancer mags, and didn't look both ways after they flipped. 

:clap:  I ate there quite a bit over the years. Never after the anti-gun prickery, though.

He's a drive, but I recommend Mike Dresner (lawenforcementsales) in Oak Ridge.

Evidently, the Maryland politicos do not care one bit.

    It's almost axiomatic that once a thread exceeds three pages, any new poster will not have read it all. :)   - OS

I played a NYE party at a country club in Arkansas last night. It was... Fascinating.

  Yeah, just like putting in golf, I get the yips with handguns too. ;)   - OS

That's actually not a universal truth depending on your denomination and how you believe. Catholics COG and COC believe that. Others don't. I've also not found anything in the bible to lead me to believe it's the unforgivable sin

Nicely done. I'll be sure to let you know when some of the local Raptor owners finally get our crap together and meet up for drinks.

They sure wouldn't like my carbon foot print..LOL

From a cartoon in the paper:  "Last year I set a goal to lose 10 lbs. I've only got 13 lbs. to go ". That about sums it up for me. ;)

I Love that picture. A Pickup Truck - - - A Hummer - - - The Flag. Just the Right Stuff that would send a Liberal into a vasovagal attack of neurally-mediated syncope (fainting spell). If there is a gunsafe inside the garage....., well a socialist democrat might never recover from such a sight!

  Did they let you use one of them old school sticks on  them? :)

Grumble, grumble. Dad blasted reloaders................. LOL! :)

It is. It has quickly become my favorite stock.

If he trims, he won't be able to climb trees as good.    Yikes

Fondled one yesterday, big mistake................ I really like the way it feels, can't wait to shoot one!

Never, ever carry in a purse or bag. The reason is that is the first thing most bad guys grab leaving you without a way to protect yourself.

A wise man once said "never try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the pig" Hats off for your handling of the situation

1976 Marlin 336. Belonged to my late grandpa. Finally got possession of it over Christmas and just got her cleaned up tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  Haters gonna hate.  :yuck:

I teach the class, 50,000 dollars up front. Now if you do not develop the skill, not my fault.

Here is my Spikes Tactical AR that I assembled with my Christmas gifts. Spikes Upper/Lower receiver Spikes CHF 14.5 barrel Spikes BCG Midwest Industries SS Keymod rail Vltor buffer/buffer tube and buttstock PSA LPK-would like a SSA trigger at some point Misc Seekins Precision to replace some of the LPK components Silencerco flash hider for when my can gets out of jail

Slide mounted controls make zero sense to me. Always have. Frames are where controls belong. My opinion.

Bring back the Cougars!

There's no such thing as a coincidence.  Someone was trying to get in.

I prefer to avoid having to shoot people.....it gets rather expensive.... ;)

  If your self defense plan relies on head shots, It ain't a very good plan. if it relies on eyeball shots, I hope you remember me in your will.

begone you evil purveyor of forbidden imagery  - begone!!!   must...not... succumb...to...dark...desires...too...add...anything...else,,,habit forming...         Sigh... I gotta quit surfing the net. It used to be enough to enjoy the successes of others but then I wanted to start replicating those successes and it is truly a slippery slope.   Mark
