Here are a few from my honeymoon from Niagra Canada and all points north. I like night time photography and landscapes. A big fan of the manual focus.

My daughter Shayelan has been a guard at the Newport jail for a while now with the plan of becoming a Police officer, and Sheriff Fontes told her today that he is going to make her a reserve deputy for and if she does a good job and get good reports from her supervising officers the county will send her to police academy in October. I am very proud of her, she is a single mother who works 2 jobs to support herself and my Granddaughter and really deserves a good break. So if your in Cocke County next year and get pulled over by a pretty blond cop tell her to say hi to her daddy John for ya it might get you out of a ticket lol :up:

A funny video my dad and I did this weekend.....If you think its funny feel free to share it   http://youtu.be/0-jflQThRBQ

Nice pics folks! Here's a couple of my favorites...

Every time I think about selling a gun to buy something non-gun, I remind myself that the government isn't trying to ban whatever that other thing is. :)

I laughed.     Racism can kiss my a$$.  If it's funny, you laugh.  That's life.  

The 2 best tapes were far and above Darryl and Carol. I lost it when Darryl was standing there in her living room with that possum still in his hand, then Carol comes out dressed like June Cleaver talking about making casseroles and meeting the neighbors. This was the funniest episode they've ever done. :up:

I'm picking up various smaller fixed-blade knives lately and this one just arrived on Friday. I specifically hunted down the NIlox steel version of the DPx H.E.S.T. II because I wanted something with corrosion resistance that would hold an edge fairly well. There are other versions of this knife that don't use a stainless steel and instead rely on their powder coated blades and your common sense to keep them wiped down with oil to prevent rust from forming. I haven't bothered to see if anyone else on here has posted about the HEST or HEST II so pardon me while I just drop some knife porn...

You Nailed it The video made fun of the stupid american dad SNL is a bunch of chickensh|ts and until them make fun of the mo man himself or isis itself they're second rate. It took them 8 years to work up the courage to make fun of obama

  Yep, funny to us, but a believable story for the Congresswoman, followed up by living the lie in a cardigan. It makes her a great sleeper agent. They have no idea that she's the most dangerous and unpredictable one.   I could see the group owning the whole place after Carol secretly poisons them all with casseroles. Rick would just be standing there dumbfounded.   She played up the sweet den-mother thing from start to finish. Notice how she made herself look so awkward taking her rifle off and putting it in the pile, like she was uncomfortable even handling a firearm.

Carol cracked me up.   "I miss that silly stupid man everyday..."

There is no way I would have given up my weapons. If they wanted my family there to help protect them then I would keep my guns or hit the road.

Mine were designed for shootin' left wing hippie scum.....err uhhh, I mean Zombies.

  The ammo tax also helps pay for the ranges TWRA administrates, so others have a place where they can practice shooting.    If you're going to get into a different forum, fine, your loss, not ours.  But if you plan to stay around, enjoy our community, and benefit from it, I would suggest you don't come into someone elses house and proceed tell them what's what, immediately after saying hello.

kinda stupid.   If they really want to push it they should develop a skit making fun of mohammad in some way. Maybe an art school scene where their only teaching is how to draw mohammad cartoons. now that would be funny.

Maybe if people are spending their money on Green Tips they'll stop buying 22LR.

Or just don't buy it because it's not even that good of ammo to start with. People never cease to amaze me.

Are people pics allowed? Maybe a little something different for you guys. :) *These are all photographs and not Photoshop. Photoshop was only used to polish. What you see is what I shot.*

I couldn't think of a more deserving person to have a ship named after them... Sent from the future using my time machine made out of a Pontiac Fiero

the mighty hi lux! great toyota test!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnWKz7Cthkk

At Lebanon Gun Show Today  $150.00 for 150 rd box  And people buying it.    At Gander Mountain-Mt Juliet 10 min away same ammo  everyday price $89.00  stacked three foot high and nobody buying.

"to kill massive amounts of people very quickly."  Preaching to the choir....   This is the propaganda that the anti-gun people are spewing all over the media. First of all they are talking about the M-16. The AR-15 is a semi-automatic version not used by the military. Most importantly, the M-16 was NOT DESIGNED TO KILL! It was designed to save soldier's lives and win battles. The M-14 was designed to kill. They didn't care how heavy it was or how fierce the recoil was or how heavy the 7.62 ammo was. They just wanted a rifle that would deliver 5000 ft/lbs of muzzle energy and be accurate up to 800 yards.  The M-16 was the first rifle in U.S  history designed with the soldier in mind. It was light weight, low recoil with lighter smaller rounds so you could carry more ammo. It was designed to cover 0-300 yards. We have other weapons that will reach out to 800 yards. So to say that the AR-15 was designed to kill is just  wrong. It is the son of a rifle that was designed to save lives and win battles.

Accountant. I got turboed by Turbotax one year.

Some of my favorites.

Ive got a vortex pst, no rubber ring,1X4 for 3 gun, its great out to 500 yards, its rugged, durable, glass is nice, holds zero pretty darn good. i paid about 425 for the one im running. HTH

    That's one of the reasons why I enjoy riding at a "spirited" pace.  It requires focus such that all other things must go away.  Having a singular focus, if only for a few minutes, is cathartic.  Those moments are important, more so in today's over-stimulated society. 

We as citizens have a finite window to impress on our own elected representatives our wish for them to co-sponsor these bills (if any are in favor of them). Numbers of co-sponsors shows Leadership the mood of the body.  Now is the time to write, call and visit your Representatives and Senators if you are of a mind to be involved and not just let Beth and Bill make all the decisions for you. Leadership has made the decision to force all firearms bills to run at one time, as far as I am concerned, contaminating their vaunted "Committee" system with the stain of partisan, paid for politics.  Speak now, or forever hold your peace.

I also thought it was funny when the 'runner' handed Glenn the little ,22LR target pistol. "We got some sweet guns today.."

They all seem pretty weak. The hairstylist's husband was very very strange. I dunno, I'm interested to see how this situation gets screwed up.

I can't believe that you and willis are double-teaming me on knives. lol   I'm going to have to give up one of my hobbies.

I think it was designed to drain my funds!

I just read on the Internet that the BATFE is now adding 550 paracord in with the M855 ban... something about people making ammo dump pouches that can potentially hold the banned rounds. Better run out and stock up on the 550 before it's too late.

eBay does not charge sales tax.   Each seller, including yourself, sets sales tax options for each listing.   - OS

My usual carry guns are a Kahr CW9 or a SIG 228. But I decided on the occasions where a 9mm might be too big (running, or somewhere where pocket carry makes more sense - like church) I needed an even smaller option. I wanted a quality pistol that I could count on, but knowing it wouldn't be used very often (except running) I didn't want to break the bank. I ended up going with the Ruger LCP with the CT laser. The ergonomics and weight are very good, no sharp corners to dig in to the carrier or snag upon drawing, and the laser is great. It turns on by gripping the pistol firmly. No little buttons to find and no need to look through extremely tiny sights in a dynamic situation. Fits my needs exactly.

My hunting partners: Rufus, Angel, Roddy and Yoda Buster and Dixie rearranging their bed.... Rufus being good (for once)... Well, those are my babies. Dave

DUDE! You are my hero. That is some amazing work. I just bought my very first camera (Sony A6000) and downloaded Photoshop + Lightroom. I have very little idea how to use any of them, but I aspire to be like you.

I cut my teeth in photography by being a photographer on the Dragon for three years. I saw a lot of wild stuff and I literally have hundreds of pictures to prove it but this is one of my favorites from that time in life. This happened to be a personal friend of mine who walked away from this accident completely unharmed. He landed on the side of the road, stood up, and yelled at me "did you get that?" And that is why I'm a firm believer in wearing good gear while riding motorcycles.

10 lbs of stupid in a 5 lb sack

Sounds like a French Military weapon to me.

  Bye!

Load your own ammunition and you won't have to pay those pesky taxes.   And to prevent all the drama later on you might "need to get into a different forum"

I will have to turn on my PC tomorrow to get a few good ones but I have one I did on my phone a while back with one of my G Shock watches with my Jeep in the background. G-Shock actually used this pic for their background on their North American facebook page for a while.

I don't mind gay people any more than I mind anyone else.  I don't support the lifestyle, I don't engage in the lifestyle, but what two men or two women do in the privacy of their own home is between them and God.  I just don't care to have to witness it.  Men or women.   The gay kiss and the fawning of Eric over Aaron was completely unnecessary and made both me and my wife gag.  The writers could have added gay male characters without gratuitous spit swapping and it would have been just as effective of a story-arc as what they have now.  It was done for (a.) shock value and (b.) to push the envelope of what is socially acceptable on television, period.   Anyone who wants to argue that 30-40 years ago it was just as edgy to feature interracial, white/black, kissing on TV -- for example -- is arguing from a disadvantaged position.  The parallel simply is not there from a biological perspective.  Someone else pointed out that the media is slowly shaping what the public is willing to deem acceptable, and I agree with that 100%.  Just beware that 30-40 years from now if the leftists have their way and keep eroding society's morals and ethics, someone may be having the same discussion we're having but instead of two men kissing and fawning over themselves, it could just as easily be a grown man and a 12 year old girl.   Today's taboos are tomorrow's topics of cultural diversity and inclusion unless people stand up for what's right.   The Walking Dead may have lost me as a viewer if they can't find a way to tell this story without two dudes graphically finding love inside of each other's sweaty, hairy butts.

You know, it might just be their policy and the poor girl was doing what she was instructed to do.  Generally in a retail setting, front-line employees bend policy at their own peril.  It's not like they are normally "empowered" to arbitrarily change what forms of ID are accepted.   I never understand people who lose their composure with retail staff like this.  Ask for a manager if you're going to show your butt.  At least that way the person having to endure your demonstration of discontent might have some power to change something.   But hey, that's just my opinion based on (a.) having worked retail myself before and (b.) having two grown kids who work retail right now, so I have lot of empathy and a little sympathy for folks in that position.  The general public is full of otherwise-good people who truly believe that they, the customer, are always right, and will resort to completely dickish behavior in the blink of an eye to get their way.   Slamming them on Facebook for the fact that one employee, who may or may not have been doing exactly as she was told to do by her superiors, failed to meet your expectations (realistic or not) is pretty dickish in my opinion.  With as many outside forces are trying to put Pro-2A businesses under or squelch the Second Amendment entirely, we gun owners really need to abandon the practice of eating our own or we'll have nothing left to hand down to our children and grandchildren.

I've been known to shoot cheap crappy ammo in some of my own guns, it cleans up.  I think their concern has more to do with bad reloads.  Can't blame them, I wouldn't want Bubba running his homemade loads through my gun. 

The 0350 would be a much cooler knife with 3D machined scales, like the 300 and 560/561. I would pop for some if the price was reasonable.

  Ha! When I told my wife I wanted to try and make some paracord stuff, she said, "Oh, you mean macrame? I have a book on it around here somewhere."  I lost my interest.
