Well all the doctors including a new Cardiologist team have concluded that I can have stint surgery instead of cutting me open and they have also concluded that I have no major blocked arteries but 3 secondary arteries that can be treated with medication and does not require any stints. One of the stint companies came up with a solution to my problem with doctor thinking their stints they had on hand might not work and the stint company provided the doctor  with a plan of using two stints rather than one. The Stint company said this type of repair has been done hundreds of times with great success with Abdominal Aneurisms greater then 6 centimeters.  So now I am  scheduled to get to the hospital on the 27th at 11AM and operated on at 1 PM so will be out of pocket about 3 and no more than 4 days in hospital and then back home if everything goes as planned. So I guess I sure would appreciate it if ya'll could remember me and say a few prayers.

I think we need to convince Mr. Gumball to do a special on the number of firearm related crimes committed by members of the NRA and those committed by people that are benefactors of government welfare programs.

As bad as the story itself is, the comments are worse.   I know this kind of  story brings all the anti gunners to the forefront and allows them the ability and the forum to express their views, but some of these people are   seemingly borderline psycho themselves.   Those comments are some of the most violent and absurd I've ever seen. I know, I should get out more, as these are probably pretty tame, but the stupidity of the average   person never ceases to amaze me. It is unbelievable that we have survived so long when people act like this.   Spewing the vile comments I saw there makes me ashamed of our people.   I bet they all voted for Obama, just knowing he'd protect them 24/7 for the rest of their lives. And all would be good in the fairy forest.

Foster is fortunate he didn't get a belly full of lead.

“I used a .338 on my last deployment. I would have used it more if I’d had it” -Chris Kyle   Being a highly trained Navy SEAL, Chris Kyle had used many weapons over the course of his military career. There were two rifles Kyle liked to use, one of which he used to make the record-setting long distance shot. A lot of Kyle’s marksmanship was done while using the Remington 700 Long Action chambered to fire a .300 Winchester Magnum round. This is a very common hunting rifle that can be purchased for less than $500 from Cabelas. But of course Kyle’s rifle had several expensive modifications. In his autobiography, Kyle mentions his love of Nightforce scopes for the quality of the optics and its durability in harsh conditions. He also reduced the trigger pull weight to 2 pounds, stating he liked to be surprised when the gun went off, he didn’t want to jerk the gun when pulling the trigger. “I used a 2 pound trigger on my rifles. That’s a fairly light pull. I want the trigger to surprise me every time; I don’t want to jerk the gun as I fire.” The .300 Winchester Magnum round is one of the most popular rounds used by American hunters. It is extremely effective at ranges around 1,000 yards, and a skilled operator can easily hit a target at the maximum effective range of 1,210 yards. The round is effective against elk, moose, and even brown bear. In his book, Kyle spoke of the round, saying, “I used the .300 Win Mag for most of my kills. It’s an excellent all-around cartridge, whose performance allows for superb accuracy as well as stopping power. It shoots like a laser. Anything from 1,000 yards and out, you’re just plain nailing it.” During his later tours, Kyle was given a McMillan TAC-338 rifle. This is a far more advanced and expensive weapon system than the average hunter would shoot an elk with, costing north of $5,000. This superior rifle fires a much larger round, the .338 Lapua Magnum. “I used a .338 on my last deployment. I would have used it more if I’d had it,” said Kyle, “The bullet shoots farther and flatter than a .50 caliber, weighs less, costs less, and will do just about as much damage. They are awesome weapons.” Kyle made his record-setting shot with this .338 round. It has a maximum effective range of 1,910 yards, which makes Kyle’s 2,100-yard shot even more impressive. Depending on the weight and shape of the bullet used, a .338 has about 25 percent more energy than a .300 Winchester Magnum.  

Here... I submitted that idea to Colion to get it rolling.  :D   https://www.facebook.com/COLIONNOIR/posts/937323182952062

  No, the NRA needs to do a segment on the ratio of firearms-involved violent crimes committed by NRA members, to those committed by NFL, NBA, MLB, etc. that Gumbel normally reports on.  Let's see who the real scumbags are.   Sounds like something Colion Noir should pick up and run with.

Piss on that guy.

I'm not a big guy nor do I know BJJ... but I was a high school wrestler and I've found that comes back quickly. Had I gotten loose from the choke hold, it would've been game on in full Ralphie mode... :)

Great article. Get the scarcasm here?   "When the clerk felt threatened..."   What the heck kind of reporting is this? No mention of armed threat, nor attempted robbery first.   Just "When the clerk felt threatened.."   Whatever happened to the "what, when, where, why, and how" in journalism?

    I wonder what its like living in their world.  :squint:

Foster getting shot in self defense probably wouldn't help our cause at all but I sure wouldn't mind if the outcome of this resulted in him spitting some teeth out.

    who at Walmart has the legal right to detain anyone?

Whipped this up in Excel...hope it helps. Wish I could post it as a spreadsheet, but a pic will have to do...

My TGO-15 lower has been in the safe until last month when I finally put the LPK in it. I built it alongside a PSA lower and it was like a Ferrari next to a Trabant. I didn't realize just how nice the CMT lower was until then.   I need an AR-10 like my wife needs another purse, so I'm in when this gets put together.  :D

Well in my opinion every one of those people that had something mouthy about a legal HCP man with a gun being attacked all need to go home and place a GUN BUSTER sign on all of their doors and windows and see how long it takes the bad guys to locate them and give them all a learning experience..............jmho

  It was meant to suggest that after the problems are created, the government doesn't remedy them. It's not in their interest.

  I quite disagree. A lot of the problems this country faces are created by the government, and the government has not and cannot prevent them from happening. Life is full of unavoidable risks and adversity, and the very attitude that "if just one person can/is/could have been killed/saved/stopped" is the very attitude that eleutherophobes use to justify further depressing whatever sliver of freedoms are left in this country and the world. That same attitude is the most prevelant held against gun rights, against freedom of speech and press, and against the free market.

  I "feel" so sad for us.

Someone needs a little situational awareness bump.  I'd hope my spidy senses would kick in if some nut job was following me.

I can't believe he let his battery get down to 36%.......

You're in possession, not him.  Keep it on your person and don't let the dirtbag touch your gun.  I don't see how that can be illegal.   Good question, though.     Heck, there is no way I WOULDN'T carry around a multiple felon.

  You make a good point.  I will tell my wife I can buy 1 gun per purse.  If you don't hear from me for a few days, you know what happened.

  I didn't realize how screwed up it is. I reckon I better shoot mine some more. My Gen 4 trigger feels exactly like my Gen 3 triggers

I don't grok that, as this is the only kind of loading gate I know of, how is the "two at a time" applicable? - OS

  Theirs, not yours.

  One isolated incident like this doesn't amend or justify any past or future actions of LEOs. One underwear bomber doesn't make all underwear dangerous and suspect.

  Problem is, they vote in your world.   - OS

I'm really glad this ended as well as it did. Looks like Foster is a big dude, even without bringing a gun into play its fortunate no one got hurt. Glad I don't have Facebook, I'm sure having an account would only lead to wasting time reading morons on Facebook.

  Let's hope it's a felony assualt charge and he's convicted. If some liberal jurors don't convict him then we all need to go to Florida, stand in the middle of the interstate and make up some chant and demand hot coffee from the police.

  Facts no longer have a place in society, only feelings do.

Welcome to 21st century America. We hope you like it here, once you've learned the language.

Is anyone really surprised. The whole point of government these days is to scare us to the point where we'll accept anything to be safe. And the "news" media is completely in collusion with this.   Scare the sheep and round them up.

Anyone, including you if you happen to be standing there when a crime is committed.

Constipating muzzle break  :rofl:

  Sometimes, nothing cheers me up like a good Leroy post! :)

They already have that, food stamps. 

I guess people want what they want but I don't see the need for the rabid craving going around for a low capacity Glock. I carry a 19 everyday, it's comfortable and few if any ever know.

Dang, with everybody dising glock you would think they sinned and created a single stack 9mm pocket gun.

  He's lucky they didn't have to dig that bolt out of his face.

  I was fishing when I learned from another angler that our country was under attack and loaded my boat on the trailer and headed for the house to learn more. I saw every gas station with cars lined out in the street with people panicking about fuel. I always have gas at the house so I didn't bother trying to get gas. I just wanted to get home. I have had three things I can remember exactly were I was at when I learn of and or felt bad news. The first was I was in 6th period study Hall at high school when we received word of Kennedy's assassination. In1969 I was about 7 clicks south of Chu Lai when I got shot and I was fishing when I learn of the 9/11 attacks. All in that order. There is some things you just don't forget................jmho

Sheriff's spokesman quote is the best-   McKinnon said that vigilantes should “make sure there’s a good reason” before tackling gun owners.

Good news!  We'll pray the surgery goes well. 

Did you watch the President last night? Nuff said...... "Welcome to Tennessee...the patron State of shooting stuff"

Some place that is not posted please!     I am up for it.

  Why would you burn a perfectly good steak?

So far, I'm actually finding this layout to be a bit more user-friendly than the old one.  We'll see if that continues to play out as the complexity grows during the session.   As far as SB 0070 - if all you desire is the ability to keep a firearm in the car while in a school parking lot, then it looks like this version might float your boat.  Seems a narrowly designed "fix"...a tactic that worked well for the Est (R)s last year for the parking lot bill: push through a very narrow fix early on so we can get 'em off our back by offering a pittance with regards to firearms legislation, then move on to "more important matters".  This time Kelsey gets to play Green's role from last year.   It does not address the fatal flaw in section b (1) - the flaw that converts an otherwise-legal firearms possession into a Class E felony when a high school cross-country team shows up on the other side of the park.  Instead, this new proposal re-enforces the language that creates the trap in section b (1):  "...property owned, used or operated by...".
