If you don't believe, it's still a horrific FYI. Happy Easter to all with my prayers you rejoice in the unconditional and un-earned love, mercy, grace and peace of God. My He touch your hearts and minds so you may know Him better.

I'll just leave this here,,,,

Boy, things have taken a serious turn since I left.

Somehow, I see it quite the opposite. I COULD argue (I won't though) that those who pay $200, submit fingerprints, photo and whatever else to the feds, ask permission of their local police chief and wait several months simply to ask permission to own an item that is Constitutionally protected are the ones voluntarily taking it in the arse. Perhaps the people who are putting what is essentially a stock on their pistols (and NOT the pansies writing a letter to some bureaucracy asking for their blessing, BTW) are basically raising a middle finger to an overgrown federal leviathon and saying "eff yoo". I know which ones I think are most likely to end up in a threesome with the two chicks. BTW, I know it was just a joke and I do not intend to offend anyone who owns a registered NFA weapon. (P.S. Was that first paragraph a great run-on sentence, or what?)

They mock me. They strut around in the parking lot at work because they know I can't shoot them in the face. :mad: :wall: [URL=http://s196.photobucket.com/user/kahrman/media/IMG_1753_zpsrrrpf2zm.jpg.html][/URL]

I am surprised our anti 2A news stations and politicians aren't capitalizing on stories like this: http://www.wsmv.com/story/28713441/shots-fired-at-officer-in-downtown-nashville

I am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and have been from my teens. The pain our Lord suffered on that day was extreme and beyond measure. Even before He was crucified....read about scourging.  It's a barbaric ritual and is designed to inflict as much pain as possible without killing the individual and makes oriental caning look like something from Mary Poppins.  

"When asked if he knew where he was, Johnson said he thought he was in Kentucky." They need to just find a tree and hang him!

dude likes beef and beer,cut him some slack   Bacon ain't all that

Wow. Speedy service if I ever saw any. Wish I could have gone in but just too many other things going on this time.   And the ol SSD check doesn't go very far.

  Is there a secret handshake or something for a free sample?   :D

I've been carrying my 938SAS cocked with the safety on in an IWB holster by FirearmHolster.com for almost 2 years now. I am 100% confident that it will not go off unless I disengage the safety and pull the trigger. It's a great little gun and I don't foresee me ever replacing my EDC with anything else.

I may have to invest in a Hi-Point 9mm carbine.

Perhaps it's just the fact that crooked departments make it easier for crooked officers to thrive.  The Chief Law Enforcement Officer at whichever department you want to talk about sets the tempo for what happens beneath them.  If that CLEO is an honest, ethical person intent on defending the Constitution then the department will generally follow suit.  If they aren't, then it generally won't.   Really this is fundamentally no different than any other business with a good or bad boss at the top of the ladder.  The problem is that a bad boss in this particular role can really make it miserable on the citizenry.

    As a general rule I supported LE for a long time after I quit LE. But over time I quit supporting them as much as I once did and started viewing them differently. Now I only help individual officers, never departments, and only those I have come to know. But even then I do not trust those I know because they will turn if it benefits them. I do not trust the average officer to do what is right any more. Spent enough time in LE to know that most, not all, officers are no longer about protecting their communities but controlling or imparting their will upon others. It seems like the younger they are the worse it is. If I met an officer I mind what I say and what I do often ignoring them if I can because they are always looking.   There are some great officers out there that do what is right all the time but all it takes is a chance encounter with one of the bad ones to ruin your life. Even if the officer is 100% in the wrong, and you get cleared of everything, it will cost you 10's of thousands of dollars to do so while the officer is rarely held accountable. I hated to see people who were probably innocent plead guilty to a lesser charge or reduced sentence because they could not afford the cost of being exonerated.   I will tell you a story about my last interaction with LE. I had someone do something to my wife and I that was against the law. What they did was put our name, our address, my phone number and pictures of my wife from Facebook. They posted it on Craigslist telling people to come to my house at a specified time and rape my wife. Figuring this was a plan by my brother, who tried to kill us before, I contacted local LE for help. I gave them all the information as well as asked for a patrol to be present at the time specified in the ad in case some crazy decided to show up. They made all kinds of excuses why they could not help. I begged for help and they said they would not until after it happened. I told the sheriff that if anyone came in my house and tried to harm my wife I would kill them. Then the sheriff acted like I was a criminal for making that statement. Well after it was obvious they were not going to help I contacted my attorney who then called the sheriff. The attorney told the sheriff this was a credible threat because my brother had tried to kill us in the past but the sheriff still refused to have a patrol in the area. My attorney then told the sheriff he would sue him if anything happened at the time specified.   Well a few days after my attorney threatened to sue the department two officers showed up at my house out of the blue. They asked for me and my wife told them I was sleeping. The officers did not leave and had my wife wake me up from a nap and come to the door so they could talk to me. The reason? They were there because they wanted to know what kind of guns I had in the house. This was nothing more than a fishing trip by the officers, at the direction from the sheriff, to try to find a reason to throw me in jail after my attorney threatened to sue the department. This happened about 4 months ago and that is why I will not trust officers to do what is right, especially my local ones.

It's just them trying to deflect attention. He'll go work someplace else for Govt or some Crony-connected job just outside Govt while the next anti-Second-Amendment BATFE directer takes over. Trust me, they have got plenty of anti-2A'ers ready to replace the last one.

Here's some dishes that I want to prepare for this years Ramada Inn as a sign of goodwill!

Ran across an old tungsten penetrator that was primarily used in the 105mm cannon (and shortly with the 120mm) on the M1A1. These were used until they switched from a tungsten core to depleted uranium (more dense) for the combat rounds. To deplete the stockpile, the army started using them as training rounds, but with the added velocity of the 120mm, the range they would travel if someone fired outside of the range markers was astronomical... So they switched to a round that replaced the stabilizing fins on the back with a cone to slow it down and reduce the range dramatically. The cone rounds are easy to come by, but these are getting harder and harder to find as time passes. Every time I pick up something like this it brings back all the memories from being on a tank, having both the best and worst times of my life at the same time. Not sure what will be next on the list, but I'm always on the lookout.

Bookbag.

  Once you, as the OP, lose control of the post...it can and will go anywhere you can conceive. lol

Yeah I'd be pissed to..

no thank you, I have seen people try to make their 300 look as nice and fancy as a Bentley and it's sad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My wife and recently had a miscarriage. it pretty much felt just as you described. If that's what you are going through, I know the feeling. Whatever the case though, You and your wife have been in my prayers. I'm sorry yall are having a rough time but it sounds like yall have eachother to lean on. Take care.

So you're saying a person is gay if they own either? :stir: :lol:

Price tag says "Benton Shooters." I'm not familiar with the place, but after seeing that picture I'm sure I never will be!

Hey if people didn't want run-on sentences they wouldn't have created the comma.

Ehh, I've got a sig brace on my pistol.... who wants to go shooting  :dirty:

Two words, Jesse Duff !

Knives were engraved today, they will be packaged and shipped to me next week and then they will ship to you all, I have all your shipping addresses so expect them late next week to early the week after

  Same thing. My point is, you must already have one to be getting 30Mbps, and it is almost certainly already capable of getting 100Mbps.   - OS

If your wife and son won't be with you on Saturday at the convention, they might really enjoy the Adventure Science Center.  It's only a short drive away.

I was interested a few years ago, but thanks to the unavailability of revolvers chambered in .327, I'm over it now.

It's a funny odd vs. funny lol kind of a gun that works. I neither like or dislike the ugly buggers but I sure as heck won't make fun of them. HPA products have brought a lot of new shooters into the fold for which I am very pleased, some of these shooters progress to other gun brands. All in all not so bad.

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.” The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.” She rolled her eyes and said, “You must be a Republican.” “I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?” “Well,” answered the balloonist, “Everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.” The man smiled and responded, “You must be a Democrat.” “I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know?” “Well,” said the man, “You don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You’ve risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem.” “And You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it’s my fault.”  

When you upgrade, I'd check out Blackhorn 209 powder if you get one using 209 primers for ignition.  Clean-up is MARKEDLY easier, and you will be able to get 5 shots or more without even a dry patch in between.

Pffff.... tell me about it! Sunday I got two more cases of Perfecta (9 and 308) at WalMart just because it was there. Wifey just rolled her eyes.

  I think the blade on mine is closer to 3.25.  If there is a 3.75 inch version I want it!  You are right, it is a good knife that seems very strong.  As I said, I keep it in a zipper pocket that is on the strap of my sling pack as a back up or in case I forget to put my edc in my pocket.  For some reason, though (partly because it was a gift and partly because it isn't my 'perfect' edc knife) I don't really want to edc it.  There really isn't a lot 'bad' to say about it, I just don't get that, "Yeah, this is THE knife," feeling that some knives have given me in the past.   I like going to Bass Pro but the closest one to me is just off the Sevierville/Dollywood exit just about a mile or two from Smoky Mountain Knife Works so if I am up that way looking for knives I usually go to SMKW.  Oh, I'll still stop at Bass Pro I just tend to look more at ammo and the like there.  The only problem with going to SMKW is that I sometimes get overwhelmed.  If you have never been in there, they have everything from fantasy/movie sword and knife repros to mall ninja nonsense right through to awesome knives that are out of my price range and a whole lot of good knives that are in my price range (which keeps me running around trying to narrow it down to one or two that I can actually buy at a time.)  You will sometimes stumble across a sale that makes a knife you were sort of considering suddenly irresistible. They have one counter dedicated to a pretty good selection of Rough Rider knives which are very affordable and have a good reputation, especially at their price point.  They have a Cold Steel section, a CRKT section and a Benchmade section (I just sort of look at the Benchmade knives and think how nice some of them look before moving on to things that won't hurt my wallet quite as badly.)  They also, of course, have entire sections dedicated to Gerber, Kershaw, Case and most of the other, big names.  There is a pretty good sized section for Victorinox SAKs, too.  I could literally spend hours in SMKW agonizing over which one or two knives to take home with me.

So they knocked on the door, she answered it and talked to them, and they left?

Have to be pc Ya know just sayin lol

Don't feel bad... Glock is late on a single-stack 9mm by a decade or so.   :rofl:

This is nothing more than another rung in the ladder of confusion that is the ATF. Someone else, who is onboard with Obama's agenda, will be appointed shortly and a slew of new opinions will be announced further limiting our rights. I used to support the ATF as I did any other LE agency but now I no longer view them as a LE agency. The reason is because even though they swore to protect and defend the constitution they continue to attack those rights. If any other agency were to write opinions stating only certain forms of free speech are allowed the liberals would be up in as demanding action but because the ATF is limiting GUN rights the liberals are all for it. I am sure the agents are tired of the differing opinions and constantly changing policies as well.

    Read Jones' bio, he was in the Marines as well.  As an Infantry officer no less. 

  I think because ATF didn't have an appointed director for so long is why we have so much confusion.  Running any agency needs to be done with a purpose, and knowing that every director was only "acting" and really let all the separate divisions of ATF spin into their own worlds too much.   Jones was the District Attorney for the US court in Minnesota before he was tapped to lead ATF.  That's a big step up in responsibility, not to mention management and focus areas that he may not have been ready for.  It was probably a combination of not being able to reasonably control such a bureaucratic monster and lack of results in initiatives from the Attorney General and/or the President that brought this on.

"Former" directors don't have to worry about being called up before Congress to testify in hearings about ridiculous ammo bans.  They "no longer represent the agency", so they can't speak for them.

As I posted on the TGO Facebook page, I suspect this is the price he paid for failing Obama in the proposed M855 ammo ban.

And we never even got to learn his first name...      

A good start.
