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.

  Oh, so shows she double dipped into the chocolate stash? I missed that.   - OS

  It was awesome! Just needed a little dripping sound and Carole looking down at the floor to complete it. lol

Ha! I've got the same problem.

I still have my favorite deer rifle I hunted deer with back in the 60's when we first moved to Tennessee and my folks inherited the Ranch in Cheatham county. 2000 acres with about 800 acres of timber. The only thing separating our property from the Cheatham County Game Reserve was an old rusty barbwire fence. A friend of my grandfathers came by and ask if he and his two sons would still be allowed to hunt the ranch with my family now owning the Ranch. My father spoke up and said nothing would change and yes they could hunt. The man walked out to his truck and he brought back in a 7MM Mauser that had been beautiful sporterized with a 4x12 Leupold scope and a box of ammo. He asked me if I owned a deer rifle and I said not yet and he handed me the gun and the ammo and said you do now.. That gun is still in my sons safe. I bagged a lot of deer with that gun and people can talk about many different long gun rifles and their bolt actions and I have owned several other guns and yea, I killed deer with them but I have yet to find one that can top that 7MM Mauser bolt action for smoothness................jmho

This so far has been the Best way to end a week, First I got to come home after 42 days at Sea and be with my loving family, Then I Bought my Dream Motorcycle( Pick it up after my upgrades are installed) And today I got this Big Box from my Pals at Protech, The weather actually delayed my having this package earlier, The plan was to surprise you all by having them shipped out to you by the end of today, I will do my Best to have them all shipped by the time the mail is collected Monday

Honestly, despite what the thread title says, I would not stomp anyone over words unless those words are a threat. It just really pissed me off having someone acknowledge my disability in such a disgusting way.

Thats a slick looking bike. I think we really need to do a TGO ride as soon as the weathwr clears a little. Update on mine. I decided to keep the struts for now, and ride it a little as is. I changed the oil, flushed and bled brakes and clutch, new plugs and wires, pulled, cleaned and tuned both carbs, new air filters, and raised the forks 1.5" in the clamps to even out the stance. Now it just needs a good scrubbing and some road time.

When we sold our home in Crieve Hall recently we had a handy man come out and do quite a bit for us. He was very decently priced, tile work was beautiful and he did it pretty quickly. He's a talker but if you keep it to a just answering questions it's ok. His company is called Maintenance Magic.

  I assume nothing has changed. You don't need to resubmit a birth cert to renew by mail.   - OS

Thanks!

Daryl made a new friend...

Man, it's best to let stuff like that blow over. I always tell myself, as long as they don't lay their hands on me or threaten my life with a weapon, they can talk all the dirty trash they want.

Wow. There's really some sorry people in this world. He'll get his.

I don't, but have a guy that I use and he does excellent work. Probably not the cheapest, but you can give him a punch list and rest assured it will be done. PM if you're interested in his contact info.

I don't need anyone telling me my gun is clear or not clear. I'm perfectly capable of checking the condition of my weapons. Handling a weapon why people are down range is not a blatant sin. Loading one would be but simply touching it is not. I hate range Nazis

I'm not going anywhere, it's the government that's the problem, not me. They should take a flight.

Could go halfway on speed and go with a pistol caliber rifle. Something like a lever gun in .357 and you can shoot .38's for low recoil target practice and come deer season or wow factor time you can shoot full house .357, plenty good for deer to about 150. Also consider the Ruger 77/357 if you wanted to keep it in the Ruger family. A gun he'll never outgrow would be a nice marlin 336 in 30-30.

I have now been tobacco-free for 1 year. I had used tobacco products for the last 25 years, and I went cold turkey March 1, 2014. I think I have the addiction beat now. :-)

LOL! Not exactly what I'd do with a revolver. :ugh:

As close as I'll ever come to that is my FN Five-seveN. :up: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro v2.2

As long as it goes bang!   Seriously though, the Hi-Point has always struck me as an automatic pistol built by someone who had never seen another automatic pistol before.  That's neither good nor bad.  Just really different and kinda clunky.   :)

Real Truck. Suck it. :usa:

I might be a bit biased.

  Is that open to the public?  That day falls on my spring break from classes, and I would most certainly be there if allowed.

  Where's the fun in that?
