I was lucky to have adopted a beautiful baby boy beagle 15 years ago, he was just a little cute chubby one of six from the litter. I got him at the pound and he is a pure breed. Age caught up with him and today he couldn't take it anymore. The pic with the shirt was after his last surgery, the other one is from the rough life he had! :) Obie was his name and food was his game! This little guy got me through a lot in life and I am glad he crossed my path and brought me the joy and strength I needed. RIP little buddy!

Is it just me or does everyone on this forum have the attention span of a fl..... SQUIRREL!!!!

First he is Irish not British. Second he is a moron. American gun owners are among the target audience for his movie. This particular gun owner will not go see his movie. I hope other gun owners do the same.

The way I look at it is an actor telling me what I should do with my guns is like a stripper trying to give me advice on life decisions

I just wanted him to shut up and shoot. :shrug:

My dad handed me a loaded gun this morning, I didn't shoot myself. :ugh: if I had I wouldn't have blamed him, neither would he! :lol:

It is just amazing to me that these highly paid children playing make believe games think the fact that they are "stars" give them to right to stand and decry the very things that they push in the movies.   They can make millions acting, then have highly paid personal armed security. But it's not for the likes of you and me.   Yes, I know...protected free speech. But there is a point at which idiocy becomes so blatantly visible it is unbelievable.

Snip em, and be thankful it's his nuts and not yours.

My 7-month old granddaughter, Lilia. I - of course - picked out her outfit! http://

Okay, where's the punch line? I've lived in LaVergne for 23 years and my son was born and raised here. We have the highest water bills in the south, a ton of section 8 houses that have been abandoned, that or more that are empty from foreclosure and crime after crime that never shows up on the news. Not to mention the sign at the city limit should read "WELCOME TO LAVERGNE, THE NOLENSVILLE ROAD OF RUTHERFORD COUNTY"

  I liked it all but that one line.  I won't fault someone holding an unfamiliar gun not being able to tell by the weight.    besides everything else you said,   add he should have kept his booger hook off the bang switch.

If you pull the trigger and shoot off your own finger, then the right person got shot. There are only 4 rules. Don't need to be blaming somebody else.

For a set of knock around grips for a 1911 the plastic GI surplus ones are unbeatable...http://www.charleyssurplus.com/1911_a1_plastic_45_auto_grips they're also thinner than most wood grips as well.

First of all let me say my mom has dementia, and after my step dad died last year I moved her in with my family to take care of her.  Well at around 3 am I hear her in the living room crying so I get up to make sure she is ok, and when I open my bedroom door she looks up and points my .38 at me and pulls the trigger, talk about a crap your pants moment!!!!  She was looking for my sister as a baby and thought I had kidnapped her. Now luckily she didn't have time or didn't think to load the gun, but it could have been really bad.  I keep my old .38 in my gun cabnet unloaded because I don't carry it very often anymore and the spare keys I keep hung on the wall, out of the reach of my 4yr old son and grandson, but it never entered my head that I needed to put them where she couldn't get them, although in hindsight I guess it should have. I just post this because like I said I never thought about her getting into my guns, so maybe if there is someone out there in a similar situation it will get them thinking before they wake up like I did this morning.

I have always loved this and think it might fit here: Dogs In Heaven? An old man and his dog were walking down this dirt road with fences on both sides, they came to a gate in the fence and looked in, it was nice grassy, woody areas, just what a 'huntin' dog and man would like, but, it had a sign saying 'no trespassing' so they walked on. They came to a beautiful gate with a person in white robes standing there. "Welcome to Heaven" he said. The old man was happy and started in with his dog following him. The gatekeeper stopped him. "Dogs aren't allowed, I'm sorry but he can't come with you." "What kind of Heaven won't allow dogs? If he can't come in, then I will stay out with him. He's been my faithful companion all his life, I can't desert him now." "Suit yourself, but I have to warn you, the Devil's on this road and he'll try to sweet talk you into his area, he'll promise you anything, but the dog can't go there either. If you won't leave the dog, you'll spend Eternity on this road." So the old man and dog went on. They came to a rundown fence with a gap in it, no gate, just a hole. Another old man was inside. "S'cuse me Sir, my dog and I are getting mighty tired, mind if we come in and sit in the shade for awhile?" "Of course, there's some cold water under that tree over there. Make yourselves comfortable" "You're sure my dog can come in? The man down the road said dogs weren't allowed anywhere." "Would you come in if you had to leave the dog?" "No sir, that's why I didn't go to Heaven, he said the dog couldn't come in. We'll be spending Eternity on this road, and a glass of cold water and some shade would be mighty fine right about now. But, I won't come in if my buddy here can't come too, and that's final." The man smiled a big smile and said "Welcome to Heaven." "You mean this is Heaven? Dogs ARE allowed? How come that fellow down the road said they weren't?" "That was the Devil and he gets all the people who are willing to give up a life long companion for a comfortable place to stay. They soon find out their mistake, but then it's too late. The dogs come here, the fickle people stay there. GOD wouldn't allow dogs to be banned from Heaven. After all, HE created them to be man's companions in life, why would he separate them in death?"

  Yuppies who vote.   Maybe, just maybe these new shooters will start to think critically about firearms. Maybe, just maybe they'll start to question the anti-gun crap that so many are being force fed from birth. Maybe, just maybe, that will mean they'll think twice about pushing the Vote button for a gun grabber when they're the ones who would lose their hobby.   Anything that gets more people shooting is a win for the sport and for the politics. It provides an avenue to educate people about firearms whose only other source of information is Hollywood and Bloomberg. Being overt about the politics isn't always the best way. You need to get people to come around to it on their own, and you do that by making it accessible in an environment that's not confusing, intimidating, and foreign to anything they've ever done before.

Don't discount your medication theory.  My wife has never had a TBI but does have issues with memory.  We are convinced that it is a side effect of some of the medication she is taking.  When you are taking multiple medications from different doctors, I don't think they really know all the side effect from the interaction of the different medications with each other.

I looked up the word "Stupid" in the dictionary and found a picture of a compensator on a 9mm.  I haven't located that particular one, but I'm hot on it's trail.   :D

I like all of it....the new and the old. It's why I never have any damn money.

I think the nicer they can make a place the better it will be. More crowded...yes but I've been to a couple of really nice ranges with good food, a gun shop and beautiful range facilities. It was stinkin' awesome.

  That update sucks! He says there were half-naked women on stage whipping each other and he doesn't have the common decency to share the pics? What a tool.

I work in LaVergne but live in Smyrna. There is no way I'd move any closer. LaVergne might be cheaper but Smyrna or Murfreesboro is a better place in Rutherford county.

Note to self:   Don't leave yer rifle lean'n against a tree while you take a whiz in Grizzly bear country..!!!!

Prayers sent.   I lost my father not knowing where he stood with God. That was almost 11 years ago, and my heart aches over it to this day. I wish I'd have been able to talk to him about his faith before he left this world, but I myself was young in my salvation and the words just never came. I urge you to do everything you can to have that talk with your dad. Pray hard about it, go see your dad, and then let the Spirit guide you with the rest.   May God bless, comfort and strengthen you, your dad, and your family. In Jesus name, Amen.

I no more care what this guy says than anyone else in Hollywood. :shrug:

One finger up and killed the other finger. The family of the dead finger should sue the killer. 

Sure, why not? Me and my sons on Halloween 2011.

I'm OK with the plan, as long as there are some restrictions. Such as, no one person should be allowed to have more than ten cans. I mean, really, who needs more than ten anyway?   Also, corn of any kind is OK, but never any of those evil Black Beans. Those cans only exist to kill.

  Corrected your statement. lol

Thanks all! It is incredible what these guys do for us, I knew there were a lot of animal lovers here and I feel for your losses too. We're are a better world because of these guys.

Sorry for the double post. Hope this makes up for it

  Thanks for this. Hadn't seen it before my post.

It is here!   So the video in the above article will frustrate you, but...these reviews will make you laugh:   http://www.yelp.com/biz/f-and-r-auto-sales-westport?start=40   AND   http://www.yelp.com/biz/palace-pizza-and-more-north-dartmouth

My 10.5" gives over 2600 fps with even Russian steel stuff, (revised, see post below) with full powered 5.56 you're looking at 2750-2800 fps, plenty of velocity for the FMJ to do its thing.   But even with a 7.5" barrel, seems a soft point moving at 2300 or better would be plenty devastating.   - OS

No. Law Tactical makes the only hinge/buffer tube that works with an AR (that I know of).http://www.lawtactical.com/

Who cares what this idiot thinks....   leroy

  I go right by there on my way to work every morning. I know of what you speak....

wow! glad nothing bad came of this...

Just an fyi, if you change grips to slim grips you may have to change grip screws and bushings. Also the only thing that RIA customer service recommends replacing, is the recoil spring with a better quality spring. They recommended to me wolf springs. When I asked why they didn't use them to start with, he stated to save money. I must say I never had a problem with any of their 1911's that I have owned in both 9mm and 45acp. They were all single stack, series 70 GI.

Let's not forget pie....   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPtVxrQOzpc

  That's what she said.           Nice pickup on the RIA. Something like that is on my list.

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The waitress asks them for their orders. The man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to the ostrich, "What's yours?" "I'll have the same," says the ostrich. A short time later the waitress returns with the order. "That will be $9.40 please." The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment. The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke." The ostrich says, "I'll have the same." Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change. This becomes routine until the two enter again. "The usual?" Asks the waitress. "No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and a salad," says the man. "Same," says the ostrich. Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, "That will be $32.62." Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table. The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. "Excuse me, Sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change in your pocket every time?" "Well," says the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the attic and found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes. My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there." "That's brilliant!" says the waitress. "Most people would ask for a Million Dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!" "That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there," says the man. The waitress asks, "What's with the ostrich?" The man sighs, pauses and answers, "My second wish was for a tall chick with a big butt and long legs who agrees with everything I say.."

Love the photobomb.

I wouldn't let the civic center people know if the building is not posted.  I would lay low then.

That's about as far as most of us can get before losing count and having to start over.

Forget training teachers with guns to protect schools.  Just arm the kids with a can of Green Giant whoopass.   http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/01/14/schools-plan-to-empower-students-in-intruder-scenario-slammed-as-dangerous-stupid-wow/

Congrats! My best friend has an MC Operator and nearly convinced me to go the same route, as evidenced by my post around Christmas saying I had clearance to buy one. I honestly cannot give you any justification for *not* going with the MC Operator other than the fact that deep down I really wanted to scratch the Colt itch. You can find a thread I did on his MC Operator back a few years ago when we re-finished the slide in a matte silver color, here: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/15660-refinish-job-springfield-marine-corps-operator/ One thing I would at least research doing, were I you, would be to remove the goofy ILS lock. It's a pretty easy modification and would ensure that there's no way Murphy's Law could strike and render your firearm un-fireable. It's interesting to note that Springfield apparently has a new version of the MC Operator coming out this year. I noticed these pics on another forum yesterday actually: The major differences that I notice are G10 VZ "Slant" style grips rather than the ridiculously bulky Pachmayer grips from the previous version, and the addition of some rather interesting checkering on the front strap and what looks like matching checkering on the main spring housing. Another thing that most folks aren't aware of is that Springfield released in 2014 the "Long Beach Operator" which is essentially the MC Operator but in all black Armory Kote finish, a mag well, and different grips. I rather like it.

Saw this on Facebook yesterday. He really needs to add mag flippin' to his skillset. 

I'm pretty sure that conversation with me would have gone more along the lines of: You want me to do... what?
