I've heard a lot of BS from Walmart employees that wasn't true. I'd wait for an official statement from Walmart before I believed that. :up:

There's a good chance this guy had Alzheimer's or was in some other way mentally defective.  Normal people don't act like that. Sorry you're the guy that got singled out this time, Gordon.  :(

  Funny thing is that is how I clear a path at the gun show. I am on crutches and when things start moving a bit slow I tell my wife my polio is acting up. People look around to see some guy, me, on crutches and no doubt want to get as far away from me as possible.

  Delusional man with HCP ambushed elderly man merely picking up eggs for disabled wife who was baking a cake for the homeless.

This too shall pass man lol...You did the absolute right thing by walking away from this..He was obviously crippled mentally...

I bought this one a few weeks back. I was looking for a 9mm. Talk about ADD. It's a 1949 model 70 Winchester standard in 30-06. It came with a Redfield 1 piece mount and rings, and a 3-9 Redfield scope. My very first handload attempt rewarded me with a 1", 100 yard 3 shot group. The trigger is great, and the action glides like it's on ball bearings. Once upon a time, Winchester built world class firearms.

We had a fine afternoon of shooting now that the weather has finally cooperated a bit. [URL=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/IMG_06882_zps8517de04.jpg.html][/URL]

Here are some more current pics of my Colt Rail Gun showing the Trijicon sights that I installed and the VZ Grips "Recon" grips in black and grey G10 that I installed. I took some fine grit sandpaper to the grips to knock down just a tiny bit of the harshness. As they came out of the package, the grips would leave little pin-prick marks on the palm of my hands and were just too aggressive. After a few hits with the sandpaper, they are perfectly grippy but not harsh. The holster is an inside the waistband design by Tom Thurner at TT Gunleather. Tom's one of my favorite holster makers and I've got several of his pieces now. I'd easily put them on par with anything from Milt Sparks and the added advantage is that Tom currently only runs about 6-8 weeks behind on production. That'll probably continue to change as word keeps getting out about him, but I'm happy to send more business his way. At the bottom of this post you'll also find some info about the photography itself, for those of you who are interested in the technique and equipment used. Photography: I've had a few folks see some of my photos, compliment the quality of them and ask what I took them with. I am certainly not offended by that and understand the desire to know more and the reflexive belief that whatever you're shooting your pictures with surely couldn't produce the results you're seeing on screen. While I do not consider myself to be a pro at this by any stretch of the imagination, I have spent the past 15 years or so exploring the craft and consider myself to be marginally above average as an amateur photographer. With all of that said, I thought it would be fun to show what you can do with a little post-processing and a photo taken with equipment no more elaborate than an Apple iPhone 6. The following two shots were taken today with my iPhone 6 at around 4:00 PM with ambient sunlight on a very cloudy day. Clouds make an excellent source of soft ambient light which is key to getting a photo without distracting shadows or blown-out highlights. I then pulled the pictures into Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop. I increased the images' contrast using Lightroom’s ToneCurve settings and by adding significant sharpness using the Detail settings. I then exported the image to Adobe Photoshop CS5 and to used the Content Aware Spot Healing Brush to clean up the surfaces of the objects, removing any dust, dirt or blemishes. Lastly I cloned the background layer and sharpen it using the High-Pass Filter settings and then blended the layer into the background by selecting the Overlay mode to add an “edgy” quality to the images and bring out more of the the texture and details. That's pretty much it other than to add a bit of vignetting to soften the edges of the photo and then slapping on a watermark. :) You can find the post-process steps I mentioned above and a lot more outlined on this excellent blog post: https://jefflynchdev.wordpress.com/2011/06/08/one-light-product-photography/

Well obviously that was a prime example of alzheimers. However if you decide to go back and kick his ass give me a call cause I wanna drive.

No words needed. Self explanatory!!     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFaLokC9hqk

I went to the range with my brother today to shoot some stuff for his birthday. After we had been there about 2 hrs this older gentleman pulls up and gets out with a bag, he stands behind us until we are done shooting and while we are talking he stats walking around picking up brass. Well after a few minutes this asshat says "hey buddy that's my brass your picking up do you work here or something?" To witch the older gentleman said " I am so sorry I didn't see you picking any up so I thought you were going to leave it, you see me and a couple other Vets get together and reload ammo and talk on the weekends and we ran low on brass this weekend". After that I, yes I am the ASSHAT, helped him pick up the rest and thanked him for his service to our country.  After I removed my foot from my mouth my brother and I sat there for another hour just talking to this wonderful gentleman, it turned out to be a very nice day, and I know he should have asked before picking up someones brass, but yes I still feel like a total asshat for disrespecting that nice older gentelman. 

If he knew anything....he wouldn't be working at WalMart.  Not exactly the sharpest tacks in the box at that store.

Walmart will sell whatever the public wants to buy. People want ARs. That's about as deep as their policy is going to go.

If you look at the roof of just about any covered firing line at a public range, you'll see holes made by people who were safely holding their unloaded guns while others checked targets.  I've been downrange more than once when some idiot touched one off.     So, count me in with the crowd that prefers the hands-off rule while the range is cold.  

Going on 3 weeks now of sounding like Sam Elliott. It feels like he'll, but I'm pretty sure the wife keeps sneezing on me on purpose. I don't even LIKE Dodges. But seriously, yeah. Tight chest, raw throat, breathing like I just smoked a deck of Camels. It stopped being fun around day 1

Paughco frame fatbob tank and headlights. Rest buell of coarse. Built by S&G in Columbia. Have a few thing s I need to change for me personally. But For what I have in it and its larger cc than most bobbers I like it.

All Packed up and ready to go, first thing in the AM!!!!!!

I wonder if he could come up with any good cripple jokes with the muzzle of your 1911 touching his uvula?

For all we know, this guy was looking to get a fat lip as a way to litigate your paying for his next six months activities.

  Ehh, he could have waited until you left, or just asked you.  With ammo prices what they are these days, some people take their brass seriously.    Also, I'm instantly suspicious of people who volunteer that their veteran status in a confrontation.  Why not use just say friends, or buddies? 

Been there a bunch. My kids love it. Plenty of rides, shows, and games for most all kids. Typically some good live music being played. Various crafts people making stuff (blacksmith, leather smith, carriage shop). Yep, it's expensive (food, parking, souvenirs, ...) But no more so than any other similar park. Very crowded at the typical times (weekends, holidays, etc.). I don't mean to offend anyone, but Splash Country can be white trash central. Some things can't be unseen...

It is family appropriate, but be prepared for your wallet to be raped!   It's been about a decade since I've been there. About mid afternoon, we got hungry. I bought 4 hot dogs and 4 cokes. The total.........$56!!!!!!!   I ain't going back.   Holiday World in Indiana is as good if not better, at a fraction of the price.

Not sure on ammo pricing but I'd stop at these two:   * Guns & Leather (Greenbrier preferably - larger selection than the Hendersonville store) * Nashville Armory

How ironic....since this topic started, my friend to whom I sold my SR1911, along with my PPK, is moving back to Commifornia.  He didn't want to go through the hassle of registering the guns he purchased here in TN and decided to sell them.  He offered (well, I insisted I get 1st dibs) to sell them back.  You know what they say "if you love something let it free and if comes back yours".  :pleased:

Yeah, might as well ask the door greeter who's 90 and got one eye lookin off to the left.

Great pictures and great looking setup there. I love the grips. I've been trying to figure out what color VZ's to purchase and you're making my decision more difficult. 

I have known and still know a few men with Dementia and I have never seen any of them be bullish or belligerent towards another person. In most cases they are more of a quiet nature. Someone like the guy that approached Dolo is the kind of guy that probably beats up on his wife and would never stand up to anyone that might make his a$$ a neck tie!............jmho

My Dad has Dementia I'd sure hate to hear someone kicked his ass for something he can't control.

Why is he bringing back bits of motorcycles when there must be dealerships stacked high with unsold vehicles never even mind all the garaged ones?

Loved it. Unfortunately my wife has seen Bambi one too many times to let venison in the house.

I don't get it......lol

DANG CAROL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That scene freaked me out lol

He should have asked first.  It's only common courtesy no matter how old you are.   

My Frankford Arsenal from Midway is still chugging along after 20 years.

I known you don't need my help but pm me next time and i will come and whip the sob ass for you i have lawyer on retainer for thing just like this

Man, I am truly sorry to hear that. I was diagnosed with bronchitis and low fever among other things. Got antibiotics and some kicktail cough medicine. It's ok to put salt around the rim of my cough medicine bottle right?

A 1911 won't give you Glock leg.

Reason #452,581 why I shoot at home. :up:

When I go to the range, all I want is to be left the hell alone.  I don't mind social conversation between strings of fire, and I don't mind answering questions from people who have a genuine desire to learn something, but when someone comes up and pontificates at my expense, I get really grumpy, really fast.

This could be a discrimination case for an NRA lawyer to take. It should happen for the principle of it, it is clear discrimination period.

  I wondered the EXACT same thing when the wife and I watched it. However, I seriously doubt it's a plot point and more likely just crummy set design.

Dollar Store has toasters on sale right now for 10 bucks.................... :up: :up:

I use lots of pens, and have used lots of pens. I looked at the tactical pens. Not me unless it comes w a cinderblock tether. I used to buy space pens cause they write upside down but they're almost extinct. A nice pen is def worth the money IMHO but not if its prone to being lost or stolen..... I looked at tactical pens and thought about how many TSA keeps and that killed it for me....

Here is the one I picked up last weekend. Can't wait to get it out. Few small things to do to make it mine. [URL=http://s119.photobucket.com/user/MudBugjr/media/buell1_zpsuigty62m.jpg.html][/URL] [url=http://s119.photobucket.com/user/MudBugjr/media/buell_zpscheui4j5.jpg.html] [/URL]

  To hopefully forestall any budgetary committee nuke, by showing there's no financial burden with enacting it. Same clause that was in the original statute that allowed carry in state parks and etc.   - OS

There is nothing in this world like the solitude provided by a bike on lonely stretches of road. Most of my life epiphanies have happened on long, long rides. you get about 8 hours in on a trip with minimal stops for gas, and it honestly gives you so much time to reflect. It really is cathartic. 

Sounds like when this weather breaks we need to do a TGO ride so everyone can get some wind in their hair lol.
