It is perfectly legal to mail your guns to yourself in another state. Hunters typically do this on hunts in different states.   If not then I would pack them up in cases without ANY ammunition present. Remove any, and all bumper stickers, and drive with the flow of traffic. The way to prevent an issue in some of those states is to keep from getting pulled over.   Please do not bring a single ounce of the Massachusetts liberal mentality with you.

Yeah, it's old but I'm just now seeing it.  Funny stuff!         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tXREbvXKeA

I was surprized to see my sheild number 2   https://youtu.be/4sIC5Gu7UjE

Funny how they say the XD-S is the first, and only, single stack handgun from Springfield. Guess they don't know about the 1911's they make.

    Probably this, but I can think of several non foods items I wouldn't want in mine. Like mayonnaise  :yuck: .

In Russia, he rides up front.

These people are the open-carry-an-AR-into-walmart-just-because-I'm-cool folks of the diesel truck world.

This is pretty freaking cool!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCgmfbAbP-Q

13th is a Saturday, I need an extra day of work for all the ammo...

I got released to Fly home this last Thursday, so i will be flying back home either Sunday, or Monday I thank each and everyone of you for your thoughts and prayers, I honestly feel 20 years younger, it is hard to explain but after these surgeries I feel like a new man,

  Good choice GTownGeorge. I have a GI model that I've upgraded the sights, had a trigger job, and the rails cleaned up on. Great shooter.    Just as an added protection, I plan on polishing the feed ramp as well on it.   But still thinking about one of the new tactical models as well. lol

I have no issue with it. No where in the Constitution does our specify that our rights only apply to certain sects.

  Oh the RIA are definitely on my list of wants.  The new Ultra models are sweet.

Just load em up in the car and drive south.   As Dolomite eluded to, Tennesseans are friendly, but wary of yankees. Try to assimilate, and for goodness sake, NEVER tell anyone here "That isn't the way we did it in Massachusetts"! That'll incite an altercation you don't want.   Enjoy our humidity! It's weather you can wear.

Gosh, I cannot believe Bersa didn't make the list..................... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rock: :rock: :rock:

no surprise with the shield IMO it should be #1

I didn't get any BBQ sauce on my P938!

Yeah, I've seen this video before. It doesn't "prove" anything except that the network is backing the efforts of those statists who want to disarm honest people, Disgusted, Whisper

That's from 2009. 20/20 were trying to push their view.

This thread has both made me glad about society, and sad at the same time.   It is a shame that this world has become so distinctly 'us and them.'

I wonder if the people who build grills/smokers out of old drums as a business give a crap about what was in it before.  From the ones I've see the answer is no.   They don't sell Oak Ridge 55 gallon drums, those are buried somewhere.  I have a feeling fire will take care of what was in any other non-food grade drum.

Read about it, heard about it and seen it first hand confirming my belief that some peoples only true purpose in life is to make a public ass out of themselves for the petty purpose of pissing other people off.

I guess having a small penis does that to some guys.   I call it like I see it :) :blush:

  Sorry, but I had to post the Monty Python video clip...   [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAW6D21ICdg[/media]

I’ve been a fan of quite a few pistols in my lifetime, but the Hungarian copies of the Browning Hi Power are among my favorites. Made by the Hungarian state arms concern known as FEG, the single action FEG Hi Power pistols bear model numbers like P9, P9M, PJK-9HP, FP9, and were imported by firms like Kassnar Imports, KBI, Century International Arms, Tennessee Guns International, SSME and others. The original FEG P9 Hi Power pistols are an unauthorized, completely-reverse-engineered, and totally faithful copy of the Pre Mark II Browning Hi Power pistol. The old Commissars did a masterful job of copying the FN design and turning it into a solid buy, as evidenced by the great numbers of them sold in this country between 1985 and 2004. They can be found for decent prices all over the country, and I’m lucky enough to own two pristine “new” examples of them. Because of their low resale value compared to the Browning gun, I hesitated for some years to put any real money into them. But now I’ve bitten the bullet, said to heck with resale value and dressed up a couple of them, mainly because I’m sitting on two brand new ones that are tight as a drum, have first rate triggers in them, and are very accurate guns - and because at my age you don’t put anything off for too long. The first one was imported by the Kassnar family’s KBI concern and is an early 90’s example I bought from a Tennessee farmer in 2011 for $420 plus FFL fee and shipping. It carries the model number PJK-9HP (FEG called it the P9) and was still brand new in the box, wrapped in the original factory plastic wrapper. It came with the classic Browning small safety lever, Browning style extended slide stop, and tiny sights. It carries a serial number in the B20000 range, and, like most of these guns, shoots like a house afire. This is a “before” photo of this particular gun (but typical of both). They were handsome pistols just as they came from the factory, and I have a hard time seeing much of a qualitative difference externally between them and my Browning Hi Power. “Before.” FEG PJK-9HP as it came from the factory. FEG knew this model as the P9. Here is the same gun after I added a Browning Hi Power ambidextrous safety, Hogue rosewood grips, Novak three dot sights, and magazine bumpers. The same gun “after” adding Rosewood grips, Novak sights, Browning safety, mag bumpers. The second pistol is also a KBI imported PJK-9HP from the early ‘90’s. It is my favorite handgun. I found it in unfired condition on GunBroker in ’09 and bought it for $315 plus fees. It is in the B50000 range and came equipped the same as the first one except that this one had the much better three dot sights FEG adopted later in its production run. This pistol is unusual in that it has a sparkling blue/black blue job that honestly rivals the Colt Python and the Weatherby Mark V rifles of old. It must have been intended for a VIP, because I’ve never seen another FEG polished as brightly as this one. It too is a very accurate pistol. Dressing this one up consisted of new Novak three dot sights, substituting one of the beautiful FEG-made extended safeties (now impossible to find), Hogue Kingwood grips, and magazine bumpers. Here it is. This FEG PJK-9HP (P9) has one of the nicest blued finishes I’ve ever seen on a pistol. Why did I dress up two of them almost identically? Well, once my wife handled the first one, she gave me “that look” and said “where’s yours?” So two it was. I stopped short of installing new custom “no-bite” hammers and enhanced triggers because these guns just didn’t need them. I couldn’t carry or shoot them any better with such expensive modifications, so I’m standing pat where I am. These pistols fall into the category of inexpensive foreign guns that weren’t appreciated until they were no longer made. Over the years they have been criticized for lacking the meticulous finish workmanship of the Browning guns, but shooters now consider them to be very good pistols that offer value far in excess of their price. They are immensely popular with their owners. In fact, gun forum members are often heard to cry big tears about the FEG pistols they wish they hadn’t sold. I’ve owned five of them and have never had a malfunction, so I think they’re very good guns and I like them well enough to pay the going rate for nice ones. If you fall under their spell, be aware that they’re just about as addictive as the Browning Hi Power, 1911, and AR-15. I guess I shouldn’t wind this up without ‘fessing up' that the first FEG pistol I dressed up was back in ’08, and was the Charles Daly Hi Power in the next photo. The CDHP was a standard FEG P9 like the ones above except that they had dovetail slots set up for Novak style sights and had their firing pin retaining plates milled off to accommodate the rear sight. They were imported in unfinished condition by KBI and finished initially by Dan Wesson and later by Magnum Research. Only KBI imported them and they are the only Hi Power pistols produced en masse with “Made in USA” stamped on them. Dressing this one up consisted of new MMC adjustable sights, a new set of Herrett’s Cocobolo grips, and magazine bumpers. Like the others, this one is a very accurate pistol with a very good trigger. KBI’s Charles Daly Hi Power version of the FEG P9. MMC sights, cocobolo grips, mag bumpers. FEG later made a number of in-house modifications to these single-action guns that deviated tremendously from John Browning’s design, beginning with a slight modification to the slide stop and eventually adopting an entirely different operating system based on Smith and Wesson designs. All three of the guns shown here are the original P9 versions that have the Browning operating system, but I have owned one of the Smith and Wesson flavored single action HP copies and found it to be an accurate and reliable gun that performed as well as the Browning-based models. And just to prove to all of the Browning guys that I’m not a total infidel who went over to the dark side entirely, I also added a new set of Hogue Rosewood grips and an updated ambidextrous safety to my 1979 Sport Model Browning Hi Power (that I also bought in unfired condition in ’09.) Mama doesn’t get this one, although she insists on visitation rights. 1979 Browning Hi Power Sport Model with new grips and safety. As you can probably tell from the narrative, whenever one of the single action FEG Hi Powers tries to follow me home from the gun shop, I usually don’t try too hard to get away from it. Remember the addiction thing? Last, a word about the double-action FEGs. Although they’re often called Hi Power clones, they are not. They’re not even close. Having model numbers like P9R, P9RK, MBK 9HP, and GKK 92C, among others, they were designed as fairly close copies of the Smith and Wesson Model 59 and only bear a slight resemblance to the Hi Power in the way the front of the slide is shaped. They have nothing in common with the Browning Hi Power other than the Colt/Browning locking system used by many other designs as well. These guns are tough-as-nails, all-steel pistols well suited for harsh use. They make first rate truck and boat guns and will take a whale of a lot of punishment for not a lot of money. But they aren't Hi Powers. Here is an example. This is a KBI Import, a GKK-92C compact 9mm. The Smith and Wesson influence on the design is plain as the nose on your face. The double action, FEG GKK 92C. Basically a S&W M59 copy, this is a LNIB compact model. I may doll this one up too, but after sending two pistols to Novak's this month for sights, and buying three sets of Hogue checkered hardwood grips plus a couple of ambidextrous safeties, my SDI (Sudden Divorce Index) probably won't permit it for a couple of months or so. Best wishes. EssOne

You're fired.

I have the very same AK-74 but with the Russian plum furniture.  Even shoots the same evil 7N6 ammo.   Accept Larry needs to check his sear engagement lug...., his hammer seems to be following the bolt going forward!  :dirty:

Make sure to take a shower when you arrive, we don't want anything contagious coming in from that place.   Outside of that, hope everything works and you'll be warmly welcomed down here!

If they are an American citizen and they are doing it legally, I don't care who you worship, I'm fine with it. People that point guns at me are what I'm concerned about.

This should be watched by the anti gunners   https://youtu.be/DvNeS3KSo2o        

    I have #78 through #86

  lol That was pretty much my thinking as well, but I had been dropping the little 380 lcp in a belt slide holster and it just wasn't a satisfactory choice for me.   The Shield was love at first shot for me. I went to the Nashville Armory when the S&W guys were there letting you test fire their guns. I picked up the Shield and 5 rounds and fired them off.   Dropped off the pistol to the S&W rep and immediately ordered one.   As yet, I haven't found a better option for me.

Yeah, it's always sad to see the weather interrupt the car shows. So much time and money goes into these pieces of automotive artwork that it always hurts to see them get wet and dirty.   Been to many, many of the National Street Rod Association meets, and several of the Good Guys meets as well.   You won't meet a finer bunch of people than you will see at these shows. Ahem...except for those of us here.

I second using snap caps, it really helps me. I use them every range trip. I started using the fist fire method too. http://youtu.be/4a-bFZQPvpI

Hmmm. Seems I misread and reversed my commentary from what it should have been. Oh well...

Palmetto puts up a deal sometimes its hard to refuse I grabbed a 'Sale" gun a few weeks ago and it was in my greasy palms in  less than a week......good deals !

I think you forgot something lol

Lots of good suggestions so far.  With what you've heard here and available on the interwebz the only other suggestion I might have is to watch your step.   There are probably more homeless, bums and random hippies roaming about, laying on the sidewalks and sleeping in parks than you have ever seen before.  I kid you not. They mostly leave you alone but they everywhere around the downtown area.

DOOOOOO IIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!! I vote GP100. I had a 6" stainless GP and miss it dearly. Imho, if you're buying a 357 for the fun of reloading, I don't think there's a better choice. I can't think of a tougher 357, ready to take years of abuse with flaming hot magnums. I'm not saying the SP101 can't take it, too, but the GP is much easier in terms of handling recoil. I further vote 6", to make the most velocity! Get you a bucket of 158gr or 125gr jacketed bullets and aa9, h110/296, or 2400 and go to town! Pure bliss.

my truck will do it on demand only. i save it for these smart-ass teenagers that walk down a narrow 2 lane road 3 abreast and make u wait on traffic to get by. they better have their mask on. they only do it once and they can hear me coming. i didnt set it up for that but it works nicely and dont care who doesnt like it.

Probably kin to the crowd that would drift their lowered Hondas in empty parking lots and play Fast & Furious on the weekends.

Mine does this on heavy pulling or when I really get on it empty. Don't want to see me do it don't tail gate me.

This is done on purpose by turning up the injectors.  All that black smoke is unburned diesel fuel and as far as I'm concerned, is like pouring it out of the can directly on the street.  Most of the time, the offender also has the big er.... um .... sack? hanging from the trailer hitch as well.  

From what the OP has said without knowing where the original fence kit used came from or if its still available he has a problem. Yes a long enough rounded rail can be fitted but he would prefer a drop in part. I can't fault him for that but can say a sawzall works faster then an adze or chisel.

IMHO you did good, you kept a situation from escalating and got home safe. You should have called 911 and reported the incident though. Just to cover you rear.

Article 1 Section 26 already says only the State Legislature can occupy that field, we do not need new laws, we need new legislators.

  I have a problem with the notion of governments "owning" property.  Yes, they can and should dictate how some property is used under their control but they do not own it.  The people do.   It's a matter of semantics but still I think should be keep in mind.

Wow....now that will bring a person to attention pronto.  I hope things get better for ya. 

Never heard of that one. Back in the day the fastest cars in most of Appalachia were hot rodded moonshine cars. Most cops cars didn't stand a chance against those things. Not to mention the crazy men driving them.

That's the problem with high speed pursuits - effective countermeasures to stop one once it starts are mighty scarce. About all an officer can do is basically sit back there at 120 mph until he or the other guy crashes or runs out of gas, unless somebody can get in position out ahead with a spike strip, or unless the law in that state and departmental policies permit the use of roadblocks.  But then a spike strip or roadblock used against a 120 mph motorcycle can get the agency in a lot of hot water too because the motor rider is probably going to get killed.  Evading arrest in most states is a misdemeanor, as is reckless driving, and the use of deadly force is usually unlawful in the apprehension of a misdemeanor violator. Gunfire into the tires gives you a car out of control at 120 mph, endangering everybody else on the road and again invoking Catch 22 by being a form of deadly force since it throws the high speed vehicle out of control - not to mention being one of the most dangerous things a cop can ever do. High speed ramming is just as likely to get the officer killed as it is to stop the other guy, and again constitutes deadly force.   I was a highway patrol supervisor in another state and part of my job was managing these pursuits. They're a real problem for which there is no good solution and I hated the @#$%^things. Also, being the  cop involved in one is the most terrifying thing you can ever do - screaming down the road through intersections and past driveways at night, radically overdriving your headlights on an unfamiliar highway in an over mileage, beat-to-crap standard passenger automobile with a heavy duty alternator and a bunch of colored lights at 120 mph just ain't my idea of fun. Usually the biggest problem we had after one ended was getting the pucker marks out of the seat covers. :pleased:   Anyway, from the other side of the badge they're an eelray itchbay.
