I just want to point out ONE small thing:   If you have ever complained about the police, or bitched that they shouldn't be allowed to carry certain types of firearms or wear certain types of body armor, or wondered loudly to anyone who would listen why that cop who pulled you over was gruff and didn't cut you the amount of slack that you thought they should...   Keep in mind that the assholes you see destroying Baltimore on TV are cut from the same cloth as those that the cops in your town have to deal with all day, every day.   YOU are the exception to their norm.  So when they encounter YOU, there was a line of "animals" ahead of you that spent up all the patience that cop writing your speeding ticket might have had for the day.       That's all.  :)

For the younger generation on August 11, 1965 the Watts riots broke out in LA. For 5 days, 144 hours the riots continued that left 34 people dead, 118 gunshot victims, 1032 injured. One fireman, one deputy and one policeman dead. 3438 people arrested, the national guard was called out and 14,000 with tanks arrived. There were 288 stores completely burned out, all of the white owned businesses never returned. There were many so called factors that started this, one was overcrowding but this statistic doesn't wash as there were 14,000 blacks per square mile as opposed to 69,000 whites per square mile in NYC. There was $40 million in damages which in today's money is close to $300 million. All of this was started when a black man told a California Highway patrolman that he suspected a man driving drunk and gave the description, soon afterwards the car was spotted and the driver and 2 others who jumped on the officer were arrested. According to the testimony of the man arrested the patrolman was polite. I thought as the 50th anniversary is approaching that some of you younger people would like to know that the rioting like is happening in Baltimore has been going on for a long time. In fact when Lyndon Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights on July 2, 1964 act it took only 16 days for the Harlem riots to break out. In 1964 there were also riots in Rochester, Ny., Dixmoor, IL., Patterson, NJ. Philadelphia, Pa. Do some investigating these riots and they all are very similar. From 1900 to July 2, 1964 there had only been 3 riots, 2 in Harlem and 1 in Jacksonville, Fl, but there were 5 in 1964. Just a history lesson to think about. History does repeat itself when no changes are made btw.

We'll supply ALL of the guns.

Yea well, I said it back when Obama got elected that he would take us back in time 50 years and it has proven my statement to be correct. All of the advancements made over the last 50 years were wiped out in one election..............jmho

Picked up a little pocket 9 today. Stopped by my lgs looking for a summer carry pistol. Found this little PF-9. Not my first polymer pistol, but it is my smallest. I came home and grabbed a bite to eat and field stripped it and loved it up with some ballistol. Grabbed a box of 50 and went to the range a few miles up the road. I hate going to public ranges, to my surprise, not a soul in sight! Jackpot! So, I grabbed my box of ammo and went to shootin. Found some unused targets which was nice. Initial impressions: the little gun ran like a champ. Granted, more shooting will be needed before shorts season fully arrives. Another thing that I noticed is that the slide lock is STIFF and I do mean stiff. It's slowly starting to loosen up. But, I can live with that. One last thing, make sure to move your fingers away from the magazine well. Magazines hurt when they pinch the skin. That's some free advice [emoji6]

It doesn't matter if he had 24,000 arrests on his rap sheet. Seeing the police and running is suspicious, but not illegal. Don't get me wrong: a dirt-bag is a dirt-bag, and play stupid games; win stupid prizes and all: however, from the accounts posted so far the police had no cause to chase this cat down to begin with.

These people destroying their neighborhoods and small businesses are a disgrace to humanity. There is no excuse for this....none. I hope they all rot in hell.

I Glock blocked myself one night because I was reading the classifieds in bed and didn't notice that she was "putting off the vibe"....

I've been following this story today. Lots of peaceful protesters out and about. There are also lots of reports of citizens out cleaning their neighborhoods. I hope that these stories get looped as many times as the CVS fire.

His record may explain why he ran. It doesn't explain why he is dead.

  May I add my thanks to this as well, your service to the community was at a difficult time in our history. Glad you contributed and made it thru.

Well Essone thanks for your service and sacrifice. I was going to wait until August to post it, but at my age I felt I better do it while it was on my bwain!!

Thanks for remembering. I reported to the East LA office of the CHP on August 8, 1965, three days before the Watts Riot began. From that time on the CHP provided 85% of all the police manpower deployed to riots in California throughout the 60's, 70's, and on into the 80's and 90's. I made it to three more in the next few years, two as a officer and the last one as a Sergeant Squad Leader. Funny, I guess I'm guilty of unfounded optimism because I never thought they'd start again on this scale. Guess my eyeballs ought to be purple because I was sure full of prunes on that one.

To add a bit to the conversation, there are lots of companies that are having the "chinese" manufacture knives... Take a look at the Kershaw-Emerson stuff... They are very well made knives (...i've got several of 'em...)...  The "chinese" steel is as good as anyone else's mid range stuff... The main difference between the "chinese" stuff and the "american" stuff at the same steel type is zero for most people... Makin steel is alot like makin a cake... Put the right stuff in, the right cake comes out... As to the workmanship, it's first class... The only difference is the difference between $35 and about $100 for the "chinese" vs "american" build...   leroy

Good grief; a 1911 turning into a “paper weight” because Para was sold to Freedom Group? You would think if they found the 1911 forum they would know better than that.

  The company is Camillus. It was American, goes back to 1876, started with importing German made knives, then made its own,  went out in 2007. Was a competitor of Buck, but yes, also a collaborator on certain knives.   Acme International bought the Camillus holdings in bankrupt auction in 2009, cranked up the brand again. American company, but most if not all now made in China. They've got a Les Stroud line these days among other stuff.   http://www.camillusknives.com/   Buck's Chinese made blades are supposedly made in a Buck owned plant somewhere in China, but they've played that pretty close to the vest as to location and exact arrangement.   Camillus is perhaps most famous for developing the official military issue US Mark 2 Combat knife, which of course was later made by several companies and of course KA-BAR in very similar form to this day.   Here are beau coup BladeForum threads on the Buck 307: https://www.google.com/search?q=307+buck+knifes&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=307+buck+knives+site:www.bladeforums.com&newwindow=1   I carry a Buck Stockman 301. In Delrin yellow, though, which they've discontinued. Without my having to read up on it :), what's the big deal about the 307 compared to 301?   - OS

  Better stick to the cities, rural folk don't need no National Guard.

  I know a fair number of gay folks, and you're right. We're not all flaming liberals, in fact a lot of us just want to live our lives, protect our families, and be left alone the same as anyone else. I've introduced a number of gay friends to firearms and shooting because as they say, "armed gays don't get bashed". We're just like everyone else.    The right has traditionally bet on the hard line traditionalists to be a larger number of voters than right leaning gay folks, and by the numbers they're right. The most optimistic estimates say that gay/ trans people make up 10-14% of the US population, and some surveys are as low as 2-3%. When you break that group down further into active voters, then conservative active voters, the right has had a much larger well to tap by toeing the traditionalist line. They can bark about how 'the gays' are trying to destroy marriage and hate Jesus, and it's easy to motivate everyone that claims to be a Christian to the polls because they think Jesus may not love them as much if they extend some grace to the evil gays.    The left is just as bad- they scream about how the right is just out to get gay people at all costs, and they make it sound like we're about to be the victims of some type of horrible ethnic cleansing which drives every Subaru driving, tree hugging, granola munching liberal gay or not out to the polls to 'protect' us poor, stupid queers that can't stand up for ourselves. It's insulting, but this is the place modern gay people find themselves. We're a convenient political football that neither party really wants to take care of, they're both too busy kicking us back and forth to pump up their own fans. 

It's tribalism man...!!! Nothin else; and its fueled from the White House... The regime in power now would like for America to turn into South Africa... They have got a little bit of it in Baltimore... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I can sort of understand the Mayor's decision in this one.  Letting the rage burn itself out is a technique.  I'm not saying it's the right one, but I'm also not saying it's the wrong one.     I'm sure the Baltimore PD and other agencies are being stretched thin with the situation, and I wouldn't be surprised for them to conclude that they simply don't have the numbers to secure every place, and instead need to focus on key infrastructure in the city.  They may also want to keep LEO's from being spread out too much number wise, in light of the current threats being discussed.   I know we see these types of actions and think in terms of action/re-action, but you have to look at the whole board, including how much manpower you have available to meet the threat in the days to come events.       Doubt it.  The Supreme Court has already ruled that police don't have a Constitutional duty to protect individuals from harm, so I'm fairly sure property or business won't be able to carve out a case.

My latest. Is there any photographers in Nashville that doesn't have a similar picture?

no kidding!   Why even have a separate HCP?  Why not a citation on the DL that means the person has a HCP.  Now that might save some money.

I've had mine for about 4 years and carry 147g JHP. I've shot more 115 than 147, but it has always handled 147 with no problem. Very accurate too. I did have a problem recently with the mag dropping just enough to cause a jam after each shot. I called Keltec, and they sent me a new mag release (no charge). That solved the issue, and it's flawless again.

Give the gun, and especially the trigger group, a good cleaning. A very dirty gun can cause everything you describe. Crud can hold the firing pin forward and the gun acts like an open bolt MG until the firing pin frees itself again. And a bolt face full of crud can cause cases to stick. Bad extractors can cause a lot of these problems too.

My boy said hey , get me the Night Defender and you can have the wood grips ... I said ok .. Just snatched one on GB for $865 ... Expensive grips .... :) will add the night sights to my Defender and everybody's happy ....

Insurance Companies and Federal Grants will pay some of the weight which of course comes back on taxpayers and rate payers. Its not fair but life isn't fair either. People will most certainly sue the City Gov't and name the Mayor, all of which will cost additional monies. I never expected the NG to be called out until after the first night of rioting, politicians can and will say they didn't know it'd be that bad. Call them liars all you like but they'll only look at you and smile.

  All to true. Social Progressivism continually proves itself to be oppressive socialism which is corrosively destructive and intent on creating its own truth. What it actually is, quite disturbingly is racism set lose upon a populace intent upon ignoring what's happening around it. Social Engineering at its finest only with a different set of players.  

Call Cherokee gun and pawn in GA.   They have been selling the Octane 9 (without booster) for 379.  20 dollars shipping puts you at 399.  Add booster for 69 bucks from Silencershop and you are under your 500 dollar limit by 32 bucks.  

  Sorry. Should have clarified. Ted posted it on Facebook.

I would prefer that if somebody needs to get hit in the head with a stick, they get hit in the head with a stick. I'm sure it got abused plenty, but the world was generally a more polite place.

[URL=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/for%20sale/IMG_2033.jpg.html][/URL] Mine has no safety and a little kitty cat on it. I really like it, but would trade it for a pre safety Marlin in a heartbeat.

If a person runs from a cop for no apparent reason, and the cops do not give chase, they are in deep stuff if he turns out to be an armed escapee who kidnapped and killed a family of five after the cops failed to chase him, even if it happens days later.. The courts support the principle of the man of ordinary reason and prudence, and I believe such a man would believe that when someone takes leg bail simply because he sees a cop, the cops act reasonably when they conclude that he has probably committed a crime he does not want to be apprehended for and give chase. That's my cop's take on the initial contact with the injured man.   But after that, I think there is something bad wrong here, and that's a cop's take too.

Not into photography, but what he can do is setup an IR mobile autonomous quadrocopter and have it follow you around. If anything, human or animal, gets within your zone, it will it will start a looped recording on the suspects Miranda rights while at the same time moving between you and the suspect while slowly moving towards the suspect with it's 10,000 rpm spinning steel props. Of course, he can also duct-tape extra magazines and a BUG to the quadrocopter. You never know when you are going to be rushed by hordes of tangos so it is literally impossible to carry too much ammo. Since it is at night, you probably should have him rig you up a second quadrocopter without Ir cam, etc and use it just for additional ammo. I think he calls that setup "The Flying Mulesack".

  As OS said, I think the only way things are going to get clearer is if the law is completely overhauled to make carrying a handgun legal in TN with a short list of very specific exceptions to that rule rather than the opposite situation we currently have.  By the letter of our state constitution, blanket laws making all carry illegal then offering exemptions/defenses isn't really 'legal' in my non-lawyer opinion but not being legal never stops politicians from passing laws, anyway.  At any rate, because of the blanket prohibition of carry with certain exceptions/defenses situation we have a bunch of piecemeal legislation that - even when some things change for the better - leaves bits and pieces of existing legislation in place which isn't always cleaned up to make new laws/regulations more clear to the average citizen.  You also have legislators who, even when a bill starts out 'clean' and clearly in favor of gun/carry rights, will insist on amending it to death before it will ever have a chance at passage so you get stupid crap like carry being off limits in places where it is normally legal if the local middle school happens to be holding their field day there at the time then you can (maybe) still carry in most of the park where it is usually legal for you to carry but not in the 'general vicinity' of the three-legged race or the potato race because, God knows, seeing a bunch of adolescents engaging in a sack race will turn a normally responsible, trustworthy permit holder, who could usually stand in that exact spot while carrying a loaded firearm with no problem, into a raging killer.

  Seems that racial tensions have gotten worse all over the country in the last 7 years, funny how a black Democrat President was elected, a black AG appointed and it's alot worse than when a white Texan Republican was President.

Yes, mine is a Rock River stock and has the standard GI compartment. I keep extra parts, oil, and an Allen wrench for the iron sight in it. I'm trying to come up with a compact wrench to store in there for the scope mount I'm using. I keep the iron sight in the case and it returns to zero pretty accurately every time I remount it. But if I ever get into something where I need to do a sight swap in a hurry, I'll be running to fast to do it!   And I really agree about the balance too. Any time you mount a scope on the AR it wants to tip right or left and that drives me nuts, so I'm not too fond of scopes on them. The Burris AR 332 is basically a poor man's ACOG, but I do like it very much, and it tends to tip less than others. It's a 3X and goes for $400, but they occasionally run sales for $100 off, which is how I bought mine.   Minute of paper plate at 200? I should be so lucky!!! Try minute of car door! :pleased:  

Folks, every please keep in mind the source of all the information we are getting on this...I take every single piece of news reported nowadays with a grain of salt, and stories like these with a dump truck load of salt...The media reporting this is the same media that reported on the Ferguson mess, and we all know how accurate that all turned out to be in the end :) Good ole Mark Twain said it best...

That's a lot of plywood and recycled license plates!  ;)

If it makes financial sense to pay movers  to deliver and install it twice on top of that price I'd say go for it, otherwise I would probably wait until  Iwas all settled in if I was planning a move.

Mac you sound surprised that the legislature's are idiots

What, no more free spent case with your gun? Reloaders will be devistated. Some states wanted to have a fingerprint of your gun and from what I have heard it was too easy to change that fingerprint anyway.
