I guess they could use the hate mail to bolster readership, so for the first time, I have breached the wall of "Letters to the Editor" and now enjoy "Guest Columnist" status.   http://www.jacksonsun.com/story/opinion/columnists/2015/01/28/right-need-bear-arms/22429573/

Their three kids, all successful, agreed to a Sunday dinner in their honor.   "Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad," gushed Son No. 1.  'Sorry I'm running late.   I had an emergency at the hospital with a patient, you know how it is, and I   didn't have time to get you a gift."   "Not to worry," said the father.  "Important thing is we're all together today."   Son No. 2 arrived. "You and Mom look great, Dad.  I just flew in from LA between depositions   and didn't have time to shop for you."   "It's nothing," said the father.  "We're glad you were able to come."   Just then the daughter arrived. "Hello and happy anniversary!  Sorry, but my boss is sending me out of town and   I was really busy packing so I didn't have time to get you anything."   After they had finished dessert, the father said, "There's something your mother and I have wanted to tell you for a long time." "You see, we were really poor, but we managed to send each of you to college." "Through the years your mother and I knew we loved each other very much, but   we just never found the time to get married."   The three children gasped and said, "WHAT?  You mean we're bastards?"   "Yep", said the father, "Cheap ones too."

I start out trying to keep it around $500 but end up spending $1200-$1300. Does that help much?

I got home yesterday afternoon late and took Pain meds and went right to bed. Doctor wants me up and about for 15 to 20 minutes several times day. So will post when pain eases up. Made it through thanks to all the prayers from all my friends.......................... :up: :up: Gotta go take something for pain. Will try and post more later.

Well just got back from FL.  Let me tell you guys about a fantastic deer hunt by "Extreme Cooper Adventures" They setup the hunt just like it is going to be a authentic illegal deer hunting excursion.  They even let you shoot out the windows as they drive by.  They assure you how safe it is as it is all done with in the boundaries of FL which I understand to be a wildlife hunting area with street signs.  The night only ended after we got our 4 deer, then on our way back they even had fake law enforcement pull us over, take the 2 guides with them, issue fake tickets and left.  They wouldn't let me bring the deer back as they said they had been contaminated by something in the water.      Now that the hunting is over and I am back up, they "Extreme Cooper Adventures" still sends me fake you must appear at such as such court on a certain date.  I mean they go all out.      (p.s. the above mention of Extreme Cooper Adventures is purely fiction)

If I don't recognize the number or it's not in my contacts, I don't answer.  Ever.  If it's important, they'll leave a message.  If not, I didn't want to talk to them anyway. 

Whenever something that was created for evil can be used for good, that's a good thing, isn't it?

Outside of the moron that shot it, you have to admit that bird is bad ass.  It's been shot, a guy has it in a choke hold and it still looks like it wants to go F some stuff up.

Anyone who shoots a Bald Eagle, or any other bird of prey should have:   1)  hunting privileges revoked for life. 2)  be banned from owning a firearm for life. 3)  to forfeit whatever equipment, vehicles and clothing worn during the incident. 3)  to pay a fine equal to rescuing 20 other birds of the same species.   Not necessarily because it's the "national bird"...Benjamin Franklin himself referred to the Bald Eagle as being "of low moral character"....but it's still the emblem of this country and there is absolutely no reason to kill one.  There is no justification whatsoever.

Was George Zimmerman implicated in any way?

  I go one step farther, even if I recognize the number I often don't answer.  It's an anti-social trait I guess ...

  When you look at The Affordable Care Act and some of the gun related issues that surrounded it, like the left wanting to start a movement in American medicine to treat firearms as a matter of public health, I would agree with the TFA fighting against the Haslam Medicaid expansion in TN.    We can go farther and point out that the NRA was involved in protecting your gun rights during the creation of the affordable healthcare act law. Would you rather they had ignored healthcare as an area to protect gun rights?   Read this: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/01/09/this-is-how-a-secret-gun-provision-made-its-way-into-obamacare-legislation/   Or you can read this: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/wolf-blitzer-nra-pushed-provision-banning-doctors-from-discussing-guns-in-obamacare-seems-so-strange/   The NRA got in and saved gun owners asses by making sure that patients could not be penalized or discriminated against for owning firearms.     The liberal left-wing is patently anti-second amendment. We have to be vigilant in every area of law making for anti-2A law and regulations being added or amended.   So if I were you, I'd keep right on supporting the TFA, NRA and GOA. :up: 

Glad to hear everything went well, take it as easy as you can. By the way I was thinking this with the title. "What you looking at ass eyes"

I need one. Dont care. I want the stg 44.

Where are you located.  at over a 1,000 posts your clearly an established member.  I would be willing to bet there are a couple of members here, myself included, that would loan you the tools if your nearby. 

Pepper Spray in her pocket, a lead ingot in her purse and a "Don't stop just cause they hit the ground" attitude.     Squirt him & beat him.  Rinse and repeat as necessary.  

WHERE ARE THE PICS?!?!?!?

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

Do you see that you have a one sides point of view? Hopefully if you ever face justice you will be judged fairly and not by the way of a twisted political view. Perhaps it's me and I have "white Hispanic privilege"

Good thing we didn't jump to conclusions. There are two sides to every story and if the media would report instead of withhold and report, we'd be a better nation. http://www.news4jax.com/news/report-zimmerman-denies-throwing-bottle-at-ex/30663744

So I was down in Harriman, TN at a local pawn shop just browsing when I came across and AR smith and Wesson labeled as being a .223 for $600. I asked to look at it and in closer inspection it was a 5.56 smith and Wesson m&p 15. Troy rear flip sight and front A sight. Quard rail with a 30 round p mag and 6 position stock. It has some small scratches on the barrel but I could not pass up on the price. After showing her the scratches and how dirty it was she knocked it down to $502- $560 OTD with a box of ammo. I get home with it and do some research and it is a M&p15x which MSRP is $1300! She told me she had priced it herself off of what she saw online and she priced it as a Sport model. Then gun is in great shape all cleaned up (apart from the small scratches) and I am going to shoot it this Saturday. Any suggestions, comments, concerns for a first time AR owner?

OKAY HERE ARE PHOTOS!!!!     <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/edwardsjb/embed/slideshow/"></iframe>

He was prosecuted because of PC, remember the doctored 911 call to make him sound racist? How bout calling him "white Hispanic"? Of course he's in a cesspool of a life, I'm surprised he's still alive personally. He's had no retribution for what was done to him. Too bad he cared so much about his gated community with frequent break-ins, he should've kept a blind eye like the rest of the sheeple.

As I said last year, it's just magic internet money and the carpet ride is about over.  People are trying to branch off of it and make it into something that it's not (like the Winklevoss twins trading it on the stock market now), and that's all that is keeping it breathing.   I cashed out a ways back and bought a crap load of actual silver with it when the metal dealers started accepting bitcoin, I bet they're kicking themselves in the butt right about now.   Anyone wanna buy some gear? lol

I have bought several things from there so far. My lastest purchase was Tilley Winter Hat, which I love!  I too am an REI member and enjoy several perks that non REI members enjoy.  Their online outlet specials are killer!   I do wish they would start selling the Mountainsmith Lumber Day Pack.  I'm wanting one of those bad and I got a $100 gift card just waiting on that item!!!

Haven't missed one in 6 years! I'll be there from Thursday onwards.

She's a whole lot prettier than you! :rofl:

Trust me...., those Marksmen (and women) are out there. During mid-range 600 yard matches, I've seen a lot for Master and High Master level High Power shooters who will have tighter groups while shooting alongside FClass scoped and bipod shooters. It will humble you.

I plan to be there.

The news every morning seems to report shootings daily in the areas with high populations.  It seems high populations and low HCP ratios work  well for those who wish to commit crimes.

Thank you to all you guys for the offer of tools and assistance, this is definitely the best place on the 'net! I'm in the Knoxville area. Got to sell a pistol before I buy anything or I'll be a well armed homeless man.

+ 1 on Weapons Shield.

On a personal level I'm all for it,,,,,,, here it comes,,,,,,,,,,,,, BUT if we have a tax free weekend for guns and ammo sales the golf guys would want a weekend. The softball guys would want a weekend, etc.. etc.. How about doing everybody a favor and stop sales tax on food? It costs too much to put food on the table now.

It won't be a "one time use". :shake:

Everyone needs an AR in their collection.

AWESOME. Wonder if any alcohol was involved? lol

Well, they ain't making land anymore.  What are they supposed to do, let it sit vacant?     Don't know why people would get all upset.  That crap happened and you can't change history.  The world should let it go.  Get busy living or get busy dying.  

One of my favorite bits regarding telemarketing.   Warning Adult Language.    TOM MABE Telemarketer's Nightmare Phone Call      

  MonkeyLizard explained it pretty well. Simply that no local government may enact a more stringent or lax weapons law than a state one.   Your beef about park carry still lies with state law, but not because of lack of preemption. Even the grandfathered law exception is gone.   - OS

telemarketers are easy to deal with...as soon as they say the offer just say "can you hold on for one second...?" put them on hold...come back in about 20 minutes, talk to them for 5 seconds and do it again...they wont/cant hang up.

Yes he's 6. I am looking to step him up so if he wants to go to the woods with me he and I can enjoy a little coyote or deer hunting. He is shooting full size deer targets now with his 22. (Open sites). Thank you caster for the recommendations. I will look into those options. I came from a family of hunters and I was started about his age. I had rather be setting with him teaching him how to shoot and when to shoot more than anything even hunting lol and I like to hunt!!

  If I were you, I would run some reports from your ticket system, figure out what those call drivers are and then propose ways to mitigate them. If you discover that 100 people call for password resets a month.. propose using a self service tool like Quest (Dell) Password manager, so the users can reset their own password securely. Of course, that all depends on your environment, your level of access, security, etc. but if you have the capacity to do stuff like that... I would.   You can't automate them all, but you can try :)

Yea, I got $375.00 cash plus the Rugar in the trade.

I don't want a single stack 10MM. I have a 44 mag for high power/low capacity. For me, a 10MM has to be about power AND capacity. Love my Witness Elite Match 10MM. I'd think about a G40 if someone offered extended capacity mags for it. If I were to get a single stack 10MM, it'd be something like a DW 1911.

Drive around Memphis a little and watch the local news and you'll wonder why so low.

I am a Glock hater. I may one day one a G40. That is all.

  I know a great many gun owners that do not have carry permits because they don't want to be on a list of gun owners. Many of them bought their guns long before the back ground checks began and don't feel it's any of the governments business if they own guns. I think that falls true in most cases for a large amount of the population across the nation...............jmho

Too bad he couldn't stay in his truck and let people who police for a living do their job. Then it wouldn't have started either.
