Are you saying certain symbols might repel certain unwanted Yankees, hmmm.........

My ancestors had no dog in this hunt as far as War Between The States as they never landed on American shores until 1878. I was born and raised above the Mason Dixon line until I went in the service in 1966. After I completed military service in 92 we moved to Tennessee and have been happy to call the south our home. Regardless what anyone says I see this unfortunate war caused by many reasons...not just one as so many claim. I've never felt the need to fly the Stars and Bars but on the other hand I've never been offended by it. I fly the Stars and Stripes from the front of my house and Gadsden Flag off the side of my workshop out back. With all the total nonsense lately about the Stars and Bars I now find it necessary to add it to the side of my workshop. I hope you born and bred southerners don't take offense by that. If you do then tough toenails. I'll be adding a small flag to my sig line here if I can find one I feel is appropriate in size. God Bless the United States of America and God Bless Dixie.

Not to high jack this thread, I have no problems with Yankees (shhh! I married one), but I do have problems with Yankees that try to change the way we live here, like making fun of our accents, not liking they way we run our schools, not liking our churches, not liking the way we run our politics, buying up all of the farm land which increases other land values, making fun of our rednecks, etc.  There is a reason this state is a state, and we should not be just an extension of say Ohio, Michigan, NY, IL, IN, etc.  You want to live in Tennessee, you are welcome here, be legal, and just blend in without changing the taste of Tennessee.   I think that is the problem of the U.S. in general, you want to live here, you are welcome to live here and to call it home, just do it legally, blend in without changing it!  :2cents:

Just as a point of clarification, the nickname "stars and bars" refers to the Confederate first national flag not the battle flag. The battle flag was never a flag of the Confederate government, but was mainly a flag used by individual companies on the field of battle. A rectangular version of the battle flag was also used as a naval jack.

Q - Where'd you catch all them fish? A - Out in the lake.

I'm happy for you but advertising it ain't doing you no favors.  Broadcast an edible carcass and ALL the buzzards will show up.  The range may even see the value in it and put a stop to it all together.  Charlie Haffner got smart and if you didn't shoot it, you can't pick it up.  He sells it and makes a good little chunk of change from it.  I don't blame him at all.  I would do the same.   In a few words, ALWAYS keep a good thing under your hat.  Just my opinion which ain't worth much.

A couple of years ago, I was shooting at another range in another state.  The club "brass rat" was there perched like a vulture waiting for the next piece of brass to hit the ground.  Rather that get cross with him as most members did, I said "Charlie, you should go out to Cavalier and scrounge brass.  They had a glock shoot there yesterday and the brass is ankle deep on every position".  I could see the pain in his eyes when he remembered that his membership at that club had been cancelled and he could not get in without a passcard and if he could, he would be arrested for trespass..     Every time I saw him thereafter, i would invent some story about mountains of brass laying on the ground in areas he could not access.   Sadistic, maybe, but it felt good.

Sample knife is built. Dave will send me pictures tomorrow, I will post them this knife is going to be Bad-ass!

Despite what every tv show, basspro & guy at the gas station tells you, you don't need 70# shooting 300+ fps to kill a deer. I have killed my fair share, as have many of my friends, with recurve in the 40# range. The trick is to up your arrow weight. None of this 5gn per pound crap, whack a 500gn arrow from a 40# bow, with a sold FIXED BLADE broadhead & there isn't a deer made will stand up to it. Keep your shots to 20yds & under & don't worry one jot about her arrow speed. My 43# selfbow shoots a 530gn arrow at around 130fps. So far I've killed 2 deer & four decent hogs with it, all between 10 & 16yds. All but one hog were complete passthrough s

El Conquistador,  That's pretty good.  About as good as Il Duce naming his the Titanic so when he plugs it up it says "The Titanic is Syncing"   

The part I hate the most is they did away with the "Shuffle All" at the top of your song list. That is how I generally listen to music. Now I have to tell Siri to do it. And if I don't have an Internet connection, I guess it's, "Screw you, El Conquistador." (My phone calls me El Conquistador.)

Don't know what the law is there but would have been misuse of 911 here.

I think it's important to look at Allen West in light of where he exists. The comparison with Sharpton, though harsh - is not as far off as it may sound. West is no longer a "public servant" - though he remains in the public sphere. This alone is probably illustrative of his intent and ambitions. Upon losing the election in 18th district of Florida, he accepted a handsome salary to be a pundit at Fox News. As such - his job as it exists today - isn't to serve a constituency, it's not to move the dialog on a given issue forward. Rather, it's to sell the message that his bosses - in this case Murdoch's 21st Century Fox want him to deliver to the public. Sure, he has a say in that dialog, but he makes a handsome salary delivering it. He is in essence a foil to the likes of Sharpton, but he's a salesman all the same. This is the light within which I primarily view him as a politician. Beyond that, I've a great deal of respect for anyone who willingly signs a contract to put on the uniform of the United States military and defend our country. I can even understand the circumstances and the logic that led to his decisions in Taji. Those decisions however, probably ought to disqualify him for any higher office. I know there's a great clammer in certain circles to get him to throw his hat in the ring for president. I just can't see a Commander in Chief who's held a mock execution for a prisoner that was under his control.

Why don't you add some nascar slander and make fun of cheap beer while you're at it and make yourself a little southern troll trifecta.

  While everybody fusses about this and that, comparing episodes and whole seasons, whatever .. I'll just say I've enjoyed the whole thing plenty enough to keep watching. And that's quite a bit actually, as I'm not all that keen on ongoing serial type productions in the first place.   - OS

   The worst losers of all were the nine people whose murders were immediately forgotten in the headlong rush to get rid of the flag.

  Link, I'm just curious, is there anyone you actually do like? Over the years I've watched you bitch about every political figure that is mentioned on this forum. You've complained about liberals, conservatives and everyone in between.   I just reread West's post and I don't see any mention of blaming blacks for the flag coming down. He actually said the liberal media got the ball rolling.    I think his post has a lot of valid points personally. 

I just ordered a Jericho 941 F Black Steel 9mm, I have been wanting one of these for a long time, now since IWI does them my love for my Tavor is what pushed me over the edge, I hope to have it by this weekend :cool:

Man... I already love my Witness pistols... now youse guys are gunna make me get some Jerichos, too! Sheesh! :D

Possible a couple of ya here that like an ole lever action. This a made in '74 Marlin that looks like it just arrived via time machine. And not a bad little shooter either.http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a203/sidinslinger/Mobile%20Uploads/20150710_093008_zpsutwgrlle.jpg~original

LOL! I need to cast some more 520 gr, .459s but todays temp was 95 with a feels like of 105 degrees.  I'm waiting for it to get down to 92 or so :D.

I have type 2. I take metforman and was on insulin for a while but could never get stable. Switched the insulin to Victoza and Lost 40 lbs without trying. Unfortunately I have gained some of the weight back but my sugar levels have stayed good. My last a1c was 5.6. Those that are using artificial sweeteners should do some research. They fool the body and can cause sugar fluctuations. New info shows the are bad for you in a lot of ways. The wife and I have quit soda and artificial sweetners completely.

  It was the early 90s.......I picked a Beretta clone over one of the sets. I was young and stupid lol

If a man ain't proud of where he lives, why don't he move to where he would be?     Segregation works, I just don't believe it should be forced.  If everyone lived with their own 'KIND' everyone could get along a lot better.  It would require a LOT of neutral zones in this day and age but it's doable and would work great.  Don't like what we're doing?  GTFO.     BTW, 'kind' is NOT racial but political and personal.

That Gordon is a good dude!

Damn good post. I didn't realize he was paid by Fox. Now I understand where link was going even if I don't agree with the comparison.

Thanks CZ, I appreciate you posting that. ...but why so many clicks? The last iteration of iTunes and my old style iPod you just press play for an artist and off it goes. When one album is done, on to the next. .....and how stupid is this? Paragraphs worth posts by me, for what? Music. Whoopedy doo. Wish I had been born 1877 instead of 1977. They had guns and beer then too. Yall probably wish I'd been born then too huh? :)

  Well, Patrica neal's character is told to go to Gort and say theses words...Klatu Brada Neecto (And I'll get back to the last word and spelling in a minute.)    When she approaches Gort, and he awakens and walks towards her, the first line she says is "Gort...Klatu Brada Neecto" and as shes backing into the chairs and corner, she says "Klatu Brada Neecto".   Of course over the years, the line has become "Gort... Klatu Brada Neecto."   Now as to the spelling, and pronounciation, nikto...nicto...neecto, and even neekto have been seen in print in various forms.    The TMC film guy even mentioned that the word was supposedly orginially "Neekto...sounded, but over the years been attributed as "Nicto or Nikto".   I'm not going to get excited over either one. I have old paperbacks and film mags that have different spelling in them.   So let's just enjoy a classic sci-fi movie and not worry about it.

    LOL. It's almost too easy my friend.   I just cut the stem ends off, remove the seeds and rinse them. Then I stuff them 1/2 full of shredded cheddar cheese and then finish filling with cream cheese. I then wrap them with strips of bacon and secure the bacon using bamboo skewers...I line up 3 per skewer... I place the bacon wrapped and skewered jalapeno's, standing upright (cream cheese end up), in a baking pan to catch the dripping. I cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for about 1 hour at 325 degrees... like I said...easy.   Pretty darn tasty if I do say so myself. :pleased:     But you may want to take an extra cholesterol med just in case.  :cool: 

I have the 358315 too. Never cared for it, too much unsupported nose. It's not really a bore rider so the nose can and will wander under the stress of heavier loads. ....but then again, I don't much care for bore riders either. Hit me up this winter and I might cast you a few 35-200's when start casting again. Until daytime temps top out around 50 degrees, I ain't casting nothing! Lol!

My younger brother has dad's old .35 336C with the half magazine tube, nice walnut ... cool gun. Ammo seems hard to find though. Dad killed his deer every year with this rifle, the only rifle he ever owned and did it since the early sixties when he bought it.   Seems nowadays, me included, we feel we need at least three of four deer rifles. It was just a different generation back then on needs and wants.  :pleased:

Robert I was planning to use my BUIS just for you so I could sling em sideways gangsta!

 This poor old guy was pushing it Saturday, I am so glad I had folks helping out after the match. The heat was killing me. :blush: Thanks for the help guys. :up:

And I was so looking forward to gangster rifle shooting.  :eek:

Why own  a .30-30 when you can own a .35?   :)

+1   "Regrettably once an individual becomes a public figure their greatest works and accomplishments are often overshadowed or marred by past behavior."   Unless you're a Democrat.

It could come down to being offended. This frail flower is probably gonna have some severe psychological scars from seeing such products and CT is near the top of the sensitivity chain. I suspect more to come, it'll never stop. Well, almost never.

    LOL. That does happen sometimes. It bites...but happens.   We've got tomatoes coming out our ears! Our cukes struggled...but we managed to put up 28 quarts of kosher dill pickles. We have our second planting of bush beans coming along nicely. And I saw the first blooms on our okra this morning.   Our banana peppers have been producing nicely for about 3-4 weeks now. I've had one good picking from our jumbo jalapeno pepper plants (have 2 of 'em)...but enough to enjoy some cheese stuffed bacon wrapped jalapenos. :pleased:   Our bell pepper plant is just starting to produce...I thought it was an jalapeno as well...since that is what it was labeled...   We grow in raised beds fwiw and the recent rains have really helped the plants along. They grow much better with rain water versus me watering them with the hose during that long hot, dry spell we had.

I've had one like it for 25 years or so and it's still my favorite.  The .35 Rem. in a Marlin is hard to beat for me.  

I've run them on 3 different Glocks (26-19-17). I find them excellent defensive use sights. Once you acclimate to them 50 yard plates isn't that difficult. XS instructions sheet: That said I did change the sight on my daily carry G 19 to Trijicon HD's. They, to me anyway, provide the speed and ease of the XS Big Dot with ability to use a more traditional notch & post for more refined accuracy. I went with the orange front on mine and love 'em. They are very fast and easy to use. I will definitely be putting a set on my Shield. Link: http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/sights/sight-sets/hd-tritium-night-sight-sets-for-glock--prod42614.aspx ETA: Oh Yeah, the HD's have a flat front to the rear sight that make them especially useful for running one hand manipulations. That was one of the reasons for my initial decision to try them.

You bet. You shot like a boss yesterday too my friend. Well done!

Coop, thank you for another lesson on how it's done. Great shooting!

Actually, I'm more into seeing the new series. I think it has an interesting cast, and the story from the beginning, as it were, is a great idea. Also liked the promo for Into the Badlands.

I'd get the shoulder repair surgery and downsize the rifle calibers to 22 center fires and a .243 for rifles. As to the handguns the simplest solutions are reduced power hand loads or learning to shoot with your weak hand. I'd also do a lot of my pistol shooting from a fixed rest to reduce fatigue.

I just got some of these, but I haven't had them installed yet. They're Diamond Speed Sights. I sure hope I like them!!! :rock:

I agree. Never let a good crisis go to waste.

So now we get ready for the 9mmJHP shortage?

Nice, I like how the new ones have the frame mounted safety again.   Wish I could find them in 357 sig (weight would help tame that snap!)

Too funny.  I knew from the title of the post that this would be about a Glock!!!!  It took me several years to drink that koolaid, too.  But eventually, I succumbed.......I love my Gen 4 Glock 19.  Enjoy with reckless abandon!!!

It will be used to water my garden, wash the vehicles, etc...I plan on putting one of them high dollar ceramic filters inline when i can afford it lol :)   I just shut it off a few minutes ago, it took about an hour to pump 250 gallons up the hill into the tote..Good enough for me :D
