For those not familiar Lynne Russell not only was a long time anchor for CNN but at the same time worked as a private investigator, had a carry permit, and worked as a reserve deputy all while working at CNN. Not exactly the typical CNN anchor personality..... Her husband Chuck De Caro is a former SF soldier member 20th SF Group. These were the WRONG people to try to rob.....  For the rest of us, read the story of what happened....   How often do we consider getting in a gunfight right as we get out of the shower? With our wife in the room as potential backstop? Your gunfight might not be what you previously envisioned.....   And we see AGAIN, hits to the abdomen do NOT always stop people....De Caro took 1 to the leg, 2 to the abdomen and still killed the other guy and survived . Peripheral hits MIGHT stop someone but often do not. Plan accordingly. If your idea of marksmanship with a pistol is "minute of man" then you might want to rethink that .....

On a side note. Ben Jones "Cooter" says he won't fold.   So when you are in Gatlinburg stop at Cooters and buy something.   Good for him.

This is our son, and his lovely wife, winning not one but two awards during his recent Air Force leadership academy. We are so proud of our son. Only 2% win the Academic Excellence but on top of that he also won the Distinguished Graduate award. His Academic Excellence award was for having the highest academic scores of two training flights, 30 students. The Distiguished Graduate award is given to the Airman who displayed outstanding leadership during the course as voted by his peers. He is, and always will be, my hero.

I'd travel to the point where it stops being worthwhile to me to make the deal.   Not hard to decide really.

I need to find a Confederate flag decal to stick in that spot next to the "01."

Good for you. That should be a concern of most people; but it isn't.

I would leave it home because I would probably have some beers. Even if I wasn't drinking I would probably leave it in the car. If when I got to the party I felt like I should have it on me I might just leave.

Would you ask them first if carrying a pocket knife into their house was OK?   Would you ask first if carrying a handkerchief into their house was OK?   Would you ask first if carrying a multi tool into their house was OK?   Would you ask first  if carrying your cell phone into their house was OK?   Would you ask first if carrying your wallet into their house was OK?   Would you ask first if carrying a Tourniquet into their house was OK?   The gun is no different than any of the other EDC items I carry around in everyday life. The gun would only ever even be an issue if you pulled it out, or if you told them about it........You are not there to commit crime so the fact that you have it has no effect on other people...unless you need to use it to defend yourself (and them) from a home invasion that happens while you are there.....in that case they'll probably be glad you had it.....   Having said that.....If you plan to be drinking then leaving it in the car would be the best course of action. 

So when you ride and drive half running junk you learn your fair share of tricks. Let me preface this by saying I've been to automotive school, I'm ASE certified and I spent 5 years in the Marine Corps as a helicopter mechanic. So I know the right way to do it. But sometimes you need the cheap and fast way to do it lol. Last night on the way to work my master cylinder got hit by a gravel from a truck and it put a hole in the already rotted sight window. So this morning I pried out the rotted sight window, and then the retaining ring. Drop in a dime against the oring, tap the retainer back in, then seal with super glue, which for some reason is brake fluid resistant. Anyways, thought I would share as this might help someone in the future. And don't fret, I have an eBay special master cylinder on the way so this one isn't permanent, but it'll hold for a while.

A salute to all the Shade Tree Mechanics out there  :up:   If we did everything by the factory service manuals it would take at least three times as long and cost three times as much.   Back in 1999 I wanted to put headers on my Camaro but did not have access to a lift. With only floor jacks and jack stands I was not able to get the car the needed 30" safely off the ground. Since I could not go up I went down. I dug a 3' hole in my yard and pushed the car over the hole. The real feat of the whole effort was getting my wife to lay in the hole and hold the header in place while I bolted it on  :)

Not cleansing, eradication of all the cultures the liberals find offensive. We are slowly loosing this battle and by the time we realize what they have done it will be too late.

We welcomed our 7th grand child into our little family this morning. Liam was born at 7:32am and weighed in at 6.12 pounds (I've actually caught bass bigger than him). I done went and bought him his first .22. I will save it for him! Paw Paw a happy man!!!! Dave

Even invited? That's harsh. I expect if I'm invited into a home it's come as you are, and I are armed. :D

Maybe I am just an inconsiderate jerk but I completely fail to see how carrying a handgun that the home owner will never know about (unless you have to use it in which case there are more pressing matters than hurt feelings to deal with) is being discourteous.  Sure, if you were carrying your 'barbecue gun' in a very visible manner and flaunting the fact that your were carrying to anyone who would listen even though the home owners may not like it then that is being discourteous.    I tend to view the issue along the same lines as Cruel Hand Luke.  Further, to use a current issue, I would think of it this way:   If I had a Confederate Battle Flag picture as the background/wallpaper on my cellphone I wouldn't ask if the homeowners were offended by the flag before I carried my cellphone in their home nor would I change the background out of fear of being 'discourteous' because there would be no reason for anyone there to know about it.  I wouldn't be drinking because of current health issues.  Even without those issues, however, I probably wouldn't drink because I have never felt comfortable drinking at get togethers comprised mostly of people I don't know - and that was true long before I started carrying.

She's really taken a fall in her fortunes if she's staying at Motel 6.

Just for the record, I gave up alcohol more than 35 years ago. So I won't be drinking.  My question is more aimed at the fact that this is their home. They make the rules here. Its not so much about what is legal, but rather what simple good manners should be.

If you don't want to deal with getting under the car go get 2 fast food type food trays. Lift the rear if it's RWD or front if it's FWD and put a tray under each wheel then let it back down. It will slide easier. Plastic on grass is a lot slicker. I may or may not have done this in high school with a Plymouth Lazer front wheel drive. I may or may not have put trays under the rear wheels and locked the hand break and had a ball driving in the field.

I would be drinking, so I would be leaving the gun at home. That is just me. If you don't drink, I would say carry if you want to carry. If they ask you not to ( if they were to happen to see it), take it to the car.

I probably took 50 pictures with 2 cameras and a cellphone to finally get this one -

Hey.. why not wear that and top it off with a Concealed Carry Badge :) 

Looks like the dukes boys just got themselves into a heapa trouble....   This is surprising, they were never meanin' no harm after all.

If it wasn't for TGO, online shopping and youtube videos on how to do things I can't figure out, I wouldn't care if the web burst into flames.  

I am going to try to get Dave to make one of each, if he does I will post pictures of them on here at the opening of this thread, 

Depends. Time is money.

Yeah, the staking is fine.

A lot of us consider ourselves totally responsible for the security of our families in our homes, and part of that is exercising total control over who comes into the house armed and who doesn't. Having a concealed pistol aboard doesn't make one a good guy. Having a carry permit doesn't either. Nor does being a life member of TGO or being able to spell RKBA in seventeen different languages. What makes one a good guy for purposes of me admitting him into my home and into the presence of my family is trustworthy conduct, and that trustworthy conduct is forfeit in my book when someone I don't know comes into my house armed without informing me of that fact beforehand. That's where I'm coming from, and I'm certainly not alone in feeling this way.

Hell yeah. Make them strings cry and the hippies cry all at once. Win!win!

Like I said:

they would probably make more if they taxed all the ppl watching free "adult" content and utoob.   And they get to play big brother too.  Some liberal moron wasn't thinking clearly when they picked Netflix, which is only used by the 5 or 10 honest ppl left in the world that don't know how to pirate a movie.

Slide lightening cuts and a MRDS doesn't make it a race gun. I happen to like the factory grip texture of a gen4 glock otherwise I wouldn't mind changing it. For the people of are against modifying carry guns, because there should be something on the market to suit you, I suppose you drive a completely stock vehicle as well because with everything on the market there should be something to suit you. Some of us just like it being modified and not like EVERY OTHER ONE OUT THERE.

Looks like 7 is also your lucky number, congrats

Congrats dude. I can't (but can at the same time) wait to welcome my first.

The batteries in mine will last for many years.  I bought some good rechargeables online and picked up a solar battery charger from Harbor freight.  With a little care and studious conservation I should get more than my post SHTF life expectancy out of them.

  What a pair that must be!     Ya'll fightin' tha system like two modern day Robin Hoods???

That could have turned out really bad for those officers. I'm glad it didn't though.

Fortunately, that clown didn't have an ounce of competence, else he could have killed at least one of the officers. Good job adding some chlorine to the gene pool. Edit: Just noticed you said it was a replica. No way for them to tell that quickly. I guess he just wanted to be shot.

I had a friend who was going to go to Cox's Dept Store and get a seersuck suit but on the way he got confused and went to Sears and got a, well never mind.

      I actually talked with a Hellcat owner in Franklin, together we cannot find any videos on a track where both cars are stock, He is a die hard Mopar fan but will not entertain the idea of going to a closed track with me, He honestly thinks I would beat him and I do as well, He has the lime green car and I think it is awesome This is a great time to be a fan of the muscle car, America is kicking everyone's ass! 

So is the media considered the mountain?  Some day the mountain might get em, but the law never will?

You see this? https://tacconusa.com/products/ak-47-triggers/ Not sure I want to put a $350 trigger in a $480 gun, but the Tac-Con 3MR works so well on my Colt LE6920 that I want one for the AK, too. Example: First time with the Tac-Con + Slide-Fire. https://vimeo.com/130641032 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup. And they're so dumb, they've added felony evading arrest, felony reckless endangerment, etc., to that petty shop lifting charge.

I just bought a M92 PAP the other day and a 1,000 rounds of 7.62x39. http://grabagun.com/century-arms-arms-pap-m92-pstl-762x39-30rd.html Hope it's as nice as some of you guys AK's quality wise. If the novelty of the foot long flash even in daytime wears off, here's the cure. No flash.

  The best cure for zombie is to not be a zombie.

You're in Wilson county. You damn sure won't dig it by hand.

Here's a CRAZY thought;  Why don't they get it right BEFORE they release it?     *gasp* ohh Caster, that's what you get for not having an education little man, we just can't do that.     Yeah, well maybe they should hire some people who CAN.  

By far the Best fixed blade Knife I have ever owned and absolutely worth the $350.00 I paid for this knife, this is my first but most definitely not my last Winkler, it is razor sharp out of the box and you just have to hold it to appreciate it, Mr Winkler is a true master Blade smith

  Agree!  In the beginning of IDPA the focus was strong local clubs and their matches.  It was an environment to practice your conceal carry skills.  Today I feel its now driven by outside money looking to sponsor larger events in order to have an advertisement venue for their products.      This is the reason I no longer will SO a sanctioned match.  Somebody trying to get a match-bump to Sharpshooter, bitching you out over a cover call that you made (which the 75 - 100+ other shooters didn't have a problem with) is not my idea of good sportsmanship.       Yes.   For the Pro Shooters.   Once IDPA allowed sponsored shooters in its matches with their colorful NASCAR Shirts (It was once forbidden in IDPA to even wear a T-Shirt with a firearm industry logo) the focus shifted to these folks - - - just look at the IDPA website.  These Pros make money (cash bonus) from their sponsorships when they win or place in a sanctioned match.  The higher Tier the match is, the bigger the payout.     

The moment you strap on a weapon, you have to adopt the mindset of being the one to deescalate a situation - up to and even past the point of personal affront.     It's just not worth it.  

  That's what I meant...I know I wasn't concise in my thoughts.   Reloading and casting is a HUGE advantage...especially since a lot of people use .223/5.56 that brass/ammo is easy to come across and you can feed .300BLK/6.8SPC easily    Now if you DONT reload - I can see having some bolt guns in .30-06, .308 or .300 WinMag as a lot of hunters and hunting supply stores will stock that...and Joe Schmo running around only his PSA AR-15 he put together isn't going to last long   Granted - I am not sure in a SHTF scenario you'll be getting into six hour TICs lol.
