That's an old one but still really funny, Good ole Hippies. Pretty sure the marauders would just work up a number 6 on em.

Personally, I don't think there should be any payroll withholdings. I think everyone ought to have to write the check for the full amount every year on April 15. And then have election voting the next week.

Electronic money transfer. It's coming and no one can stop it. This has been talked about for many years, but only in recent years has the technology evolved to this level. I wonder how many jobs that will cost? No more manufacturing of paper or coin currency, no more transporting of cash, no need for cash registers, Just walk up to the counter, scan your items and swipe your new National (soon to be world) EMT money card (You most likely have one in your pocket or purse. it's called a DEBIT CARD) and BAM, It's paid for. We do this now at the self service POS registers in Wal-Mart and the grocery store and other places with the only difference being we use a credit/debit card.   Why next thing you know somebody will come up with the crazy idea of making the only means to pay for something be by an electronic chip implanted in your right hand or forehead.  GEESH....!!!   Rev 13:16   "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: Rev 13:17   "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

  LMAO at working up a number 6 on 'em. 

  That's fantastic!   For those unfamiliar, this is a number 6. Language is NSFW.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM-lxsxeXBI

  I'm pretty sure you are the only one on here that likes him. :) Rest of us think he's a Muslim sympathizer, and a real shitty president.

:wall: Why can't we have elections on April 15? :wall:

That reads like a veritable "Who's who" of a police buy-back day.

Was doing a little charity dental work this weekend and I met a new friend. It turns out that she is also a "CLEO", so if anyone needs her to sign off on your Form 4 applications, let me know. I'm sure she probably knows the real "CLEO" in town :):) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So what happens after they fail a drug test?   They lose all their benefits, right?   No food, no home, no medical, nothing.   What do they do then? Rob, steal, etc... Then they go to prison and we still wind up paying for them.       The problem is the institution and what it has become, three, four generations living on the dole and knowing all the ins and outs. If the system were overhauled to be beneficial, it would enable these folk to empower themselves and better themselves. As it is now, the system IS a career choice.

I too have a "pee in a cup" job. I wouldn't be opposed to drug testing and birth control for welfare recipients.

We haven't had sarcasm around here for years. I believe Mark to be the last practioner.

  My post was sarcasm...........     Its been known for some time that he was a lying SOB about the CH-47 story.  The BDE CDR of the 159th AVN BDE at the time was a friend of mine and he has confirmed that no Chinooks from the 101st took any RPG hits during the push North.    With that said, while I won't be able to attend the match on the 28th, Kudos to MCTS for their support of Veterans!  :usa:   

  Not exactly. You're thinking of the Budapest Memorandum which says we (plus Russia and the UK) would provide "security assurances" in exchange for nuclear non-proliferation. "Security assurances" in geo-political treaties is not the same thing as "direct military action" as we have with NATO signatories. It can mean sanctions against an aggressor, or hosting peace talks, or supplying humanitarian aid, etc.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Security_Assurances

I'd like to see everyone paid in cash, and an IRS agent standing next to the paymaster ready to take his share in cash. How would that go over?

Depends on the size of your thighs. ;) Somewhere between "just throw some ductape on that @#$%" and "thugnificent". Sent from the future using a flux capacitor.

Wouldn't some sort of flat tax be nice!

We all get screwed, some more than others. The government hates us making more money than we need, so the system is set to take from us to give to the teet suckers that do not work. The super rich have ways to hide, I do not fault them for it. I do hate teet suckers and imports that do not make their own way. Yea I know I should not "hate", but it gets harder and harder to not hate.

Fishing is around the corner and as much as I dislike from time to time, BassPro, they have an incredible deal on one of the best value reels out there...even at full price!  They have their Pro Qualifier reels on sale for $49.97 in stores.  They are normally $100.  If you have been on the fence about a bait cast reel, this should push you right on over.  Just wanted to pass this along!   http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Pro-Qualifier-Baitcast-Reels/product/102287/?cm_sp=BPSFhStltPrQBCApr2014_CFM

Saw this on Facebook and thought some of you that were closer could take advantage.

I think anyone who gets welfare or any kind of government hand out needs to be drug tested monthly and put on some kind of medical castrashion I'm sick and tired of paying everyone else's way Rant over

Hard to beat at that price, you did good!

Walmart doesn't tell the Pastor how or what to preach. The Pastor shouldn't be telling Walmart how to run their business.

What a bunch of crap.

Frank Hamer. the former Texas Ranger who was eventually put in charge of the manhunt for Bonnie and Clyde and the rest of the Barrow gang (and who was eventually successful in leading a team that brought their crime spree to an end) carried a single action revolver.  Of course, he also apparently carried a .38 Super semiauto pistol as 'backup'.

Lots of junk to me ....

not sure how I would have responded to that...would have loved to seen it hahaha

18" barrels are the federal law so there is no way to get below that with a "shotgun". Now if you buy a shotgun that came from the factory with a pistol grip it is not considered a "shotgun", but is considered a "firearm", so there is not an 18" barrel requirement for "firearms". What is required is the "firearm" must be at least 26" long and cannot have a stock. So you can have a 14" barrel as long as the "firearm" is at least 26" long.

Wow!   I'd buy some if I needed to shoot through refrigerators.   . . . . or a row of refrigerators.   Wouldn't that be hell in a carbine?

I believe the flash would have been brighter if it were a nuke.  They say, if you ever notice a second sun in the sky, don't look at it.  From what I understand a nuke flash, even a little one, is as bright as the sun.  That looked like a fireball.  

If it was a nuke, trust me, CTBTO would be instantly screaming.  They even heard the meteor explosions (and correctly identified them) over Russia last year. A nuke has a very distinctive acoustic and electromagnetic signature.

  Sounds like good planning to me ...

Sshh. You don't want to make that kind of score public. Before you know it, you'll be getting all kinds of begging letters and people camping out in your front yard.

There are douchenozzles on the Interwebz. News at 11.       Are you saying that censorship is the right way to handle speech with which you disagree?

This whole "empty chamber carry" thing usually done by someone who is more afraid of the gun they carry than they are of the bad guys. And that is to some degree the fault of all the "you are more likely to be killed by a gun if you have one in the home " crowd. The average person (especially those in urban areas) knows little about guns other than what they see and hear on TV.  So people who know LITTLE about guns and even LESS about how fast REAL street crime happens decide they want to get a HCP but they are so afraid that the gun might "go off" they carry with an empty chamber.   My question is do they only load 5 rounds in their six shot double action  revolver so they have to pull the trigger TWICE to get it to go off? It is NOT logical. Ask any of the empty chamber carriers WHY they do it and the answer is EMOTIONAL....NOT logical. I've been working a full time job in the shooting industry for over 15 years and been teaching HCP classes the same amount of time and working as a travelling instructor, attending and presenting at some of the biggest conferences in the country for the last 8 years....and in ALL that time and travel I have yet to meet a SINGLE SERIOUS GUN CARRIER who carries with an empty chamber. And there is a reason for that. The people who KNOW how fast things can go from "hey man, do you have a cigarette" to "give up yo' wallet Mother F-er" know that empty chamber carry is stupid practice that can get you killed.   Now for those of you who say "well that is how we carried them in the army back in the day " ....maybe so...but that doesn't in ANY way mean that was the best practice...it just means the army doctrine for carrying a 1911 was "officially" to carry with an empty chamber for safety. I then ask those guys how much pistol training did you get AFTER you did BASIC? Any ? No? Unless you were in a VERY specialized unit, or were an MP you didn'ty carry loaded pistols in any kind of capacity on a regular basis....so people take that to mean that "if the army did it that way it was right". No...if the army did it, it was for a reason and that reason is RARELY because it is the best practice for FIGHTING. It is simply an effort  to keep UNTRAINED personnel from shooting themselves and others accidentally because they cannot grasp the concept of not using the trigger as a place to rest their finger .  Once those same people deployed to a combat zone the general practice was to say "to hell with the regulations" and carry it loaded and the safety on when outside the wire.....why? Because racking the slide took too long to bring the weapon into a usable condition.   In my "day job" I sell holsters and ammo and all manner of other accessories. I had an old guy (clearly in his 60s or 70s) call about a "defective" Galco Miami Classic shoulder holster for his "old military .45". He said it would not "fit". He said the thumb snap would not snap. I finally figured out WHY and asked him ...Sir, are you trying to holster that pistol with the hammer down or with it cocked? He said "What kind of idiot carries it cocked?" I asked if he had a round in the chamber and he again asked what kind of idiot carries that with a "bullet" in the chamber.....He informed me that he was a korean war vet and that "no one" carries a round in the chamber. I told him that Glaco designs their 1911 holsters to be carried with the hammer cocked, round chambered and safety on. THAT is why his gun would not fit.If the hammer was down the thumbsnap was not long enough to wrap around the hammer.... If he simply cocked the hammer it would fit..... He was dumbfounded because apparently since that is how the army did it (empty chamber) in 1950 that was the pinnacle of small arms TTPs....   Another pet peeve is the folks who simply parrot what other uninformed folks have told them about the Israelis carrying with an empty chamber and that they have some of the best counter terror folks in the world so if they do it then it must be OK.....well their CT units carry with loaded chambers...it is the " 2 year conscripts " that carry empty chamber and that started largely because in 1948 when Isreal became a country of their own for the first time since the late Old Testament times they had a hodge podge of foreign guns all with different features and different safety mechanisms. How to train people to use all this differnt stuff? Have them leave the safeties OFF and leave the chamber unloaded....that will work for EVERY TYPE of pistol no matter who made it or where and it is easier to have people do that than to invest the time into training them in good gunhandling practices......   So for all those carrying empty chamber....ask yourself this question.....how do guns go off? The trigger has to be pulled. So if we habituate ourselves to keeping our finger off the trigger until the muzzle is pointed at the target and we don't carelessly handle the pistol and when we are not handling it we have it in a holster that covers the trigger guard then it is nigh unto impossible for it to go off accidentally......AND it will work RIGHT NOW in an emergency situation when you pull it out without having to take the time to involve the other hand to make it functional. Carry how you want....but empty chamber carry is like emptying your car gas tank when you get where you are going so that the car doesn't catch on fire.....a ridiculous practice born of fear and emotion not education and logic.

That's doing something to make an 0300 look like a girlie knife :).
