I'm extremely disappointed in Fox News after tonight's debate... 1.) It was a circus and unorganized. 2.) They picked fights between candidates and tried to make Jeb Bush look like a knight in shining armor. 3.) They made it a point to try and bury Trump early "literally the first question" and never looked back after that. Fair and unbiased my ass...

  Still cheaper than paying for both sides of the automatic appeals.    He'll die alone, forgotten, and irrelevant.  That's not nothing. 

Gosh the Grapevine is getting about as bad as main stream media about getting the facts right.............. :rofl: :rofl:

Well, had our day in court. He was told by the judge that he is already on probation for another charge so evidently you don't learn to quick. I'm sure you might learn a lesson with 30 days in jail but because the person that you were so stupid as to threaten has requested to not want you to serve any time. He is only doing this because he has learned you have a family and a mortgage and are self employed. For this you can thank him because I was going to give you 30 days in jail. The only thing he requested was that I extend your probation for another two years. The judge added two more years to his probation and told him if he he came back up in front of him he would serve 11-29 in county jail. After court the guy made it a point to find me in the court house and thank me personally because he was really struggling to make ends meet right now and 30 days in jail would have cost him several small jobs he has scheduled that will help him dig out of the hole he is in. I had a friend in Sumner County Sheriffs look into the guys back ground and it was pretty much what I figured. Guy was just going through a few rough times and that was why he did what he did but after speaking with him for a few minutes I don't think he is the kind of guy that would smash anyone's head in. I know some folks here are not going to agree with my actions but it is hard for me to kick someone when they are already down...............jmho

Helping the truly poor should be left to the church, family, and community. Not the friggin' government.

been watching FOX and their recap.  Been hearing the whining about how Trump spoke to Kelly. So what? Who cares?  She certainly is not offended.   I give her more credit than that.   Who does not want to hear our president say that kind of stuff to some asshole world leader?    Why is his honesty and frank speaking a problem?   Why do we prefer whitewashed politicians?    WTF?   I want a guy who will call a spade a spade.

I needed a leather sheath for the camp knife I made and after some discussions back and forth I had Mark@Sea....a fellow forum member make one for me. It's absolutely stunning...it exceeded all my expectations. It's exactly what I wanted and couldn't be happier with his design and quality of work. If you're in need of a wonderful sheath or some other leather item you owe it to yourself to sent him a PM and see if he can help you. I know I plan on using him for all my leather sheaths in the future. Feast your eyes on this masterpiece he provided me.

Glock 43 significantly larger than Kahr PM/CM, which is the largest gun I myself would pocket carry: Which means IWB/OWB. Which means I'd choose something more than 6+1. - OS

IT is like witchcraft. When it works, no one acknowledges that you had anything to do with it, and when it doesn't, they want to burn you at the stake.

I can guarantee if anyone shows up at MY house threatening MY family with death they will have a very, very bad day. And who knows maybe I will notify the FBI to let them know which names can be removed from the no fly list afterwards.

I took this week off work and decided to spend my vacation in the Smokies, backpacking and fishing. I am sworn to secrecy on the backcountry fishing spots, but I also fished the middle prong of The Little Pigeon and the Pigeon below Big Creek with some success. The best fun was catching brookies in the head waters of the backcountry streams. I got into Tenkara fishing last year. It's basically a fixed line, ultralight fly fishing that works well with backpacking. I took zero fish pic due to my fear of dropping my phone in the river, but I did take some scenery shots. Weather was great and I had a wonderful 6 days in the mountains. I spent a few night backcountry and a few front country. All were great in the hammock.

  Actually, whatever the figure is, almost half of it was borrowed.   - OS

I guess most of you read the post I made about the guy blocking his number and then calling me up and threatening to beat my head into mush about week or 10 days ago. The police were actually able to do a back check with the information my phone server provided and tracking where the voice mail originated from his phone. They found out who he is and also that he has an arrest record and is on probation right now. He lives in Westmoreland. They have issued a warrant for his arrest because of the threats he made on my life. The Gallatin Police Officer told me that they will be making an arrest very soon and ask if I would be willing to testify at his trial and I assured them that I would. At the present time I cannot reveal his name and to be all honest I never thought any more about the issue until the officer just left my home a few minutes ago. I am glad for the great police work which I didn't think would happen did happen.......... :up: :up:

Their economic collapse was already well under way before Reagan got into office. Reagan didn't have great policy so much as great timing. It was eaten away by the cancer from with that will always destroy centrally planned economies. It didn't matter who was in office here, the die had been cast and the course could not be turned away from the inevitable. Stay tuned here because R or D, we will see a replay of the end of the USSR. With every passing year central planners and bureaucrats take more and more control of the economy regardless of the party currently in control. Doesn't matter who is elected, the cancer has taken hold and is going to eventually kill its host.

One of the admins  at work has a sign on their door. It's circular with arrows pointing to each phrase around the circle:               Replace User -->  Try Again  -->   I also use the (say the letters) "Eye Dee Ten Tee" code all the time for some users ===> id10t

Keep in mind that even though the G-43 is smaller than some other compact pistols is still larger than a Ruger LCP or K-T P3AT. These little .380's and a few others are true pocket sized pistols for curret pant styles and pocket sizes. Does this mean you cannot make the G-43 work as a pocket pistol? No. It means you'll need to put a little thought into which pants will work the most effectivly and perhaps have deeper pockets installed in some of your trousers.   As an aside an all kydex pocket holster can be a slippery little devil even with the designed hook intended to keep it inside the pocket when drawing the pistol. A really simple fix is a jumbo rubber band wrapped around the holsters circumfrence. Another is to rivit a band of leather roughside out across the front side of the holster. Yeah, I like to tinker around with kydex and leather...

You with the facts. Always with the facts. Y u no go wit narrative?

  The Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs cost about $25 billion, and that was in 1960's dollars.  For all that money, and a decade of work, we got a few hundred pounds of moon rocks and dust.  However, as a direct result of the research and development done to allow those journeys, we transformed the modern world in ways never imagined, to include GPS, improved satellite and land-based communications and many new materials which are in daily use today, not to mention the revolution in computing power and electronics caused by the need to miniaturize electronic instrumentation and computers on board the ships.  The total value of the spin-off technologies of our earlier endeavors in space is likely in the tens, if not hundreds of trillions of dollars, a pretty good ROI in anyone's estimation ...

The lower receiver is machined in two pieces, right and left halves, from 7075-T6 hard-coat anodized aluminum. That method simplifies manufacture, allows more precise control of machining in the magazine well and makes assembly of small components easier as they can be placed in position in one half before the other half is attached. Offered at this time in three short-action chamberings, the rifle is available in .308. Win. with a 20" barrel, 6.5 mm Creedmoor with a 24" barrel and .243 Win. with a 26" barrel. The weights vary by chambering, but with the lightest model starting at 9.7 lbs. sans optic, the Precision Rifle is not a light firearm. The evaluation gun provided by Ruger was chambered in 6.5 mm Creedmoor and—after being furnished with a scope, bipod and stock-mounted monopod—tipped the scales at just over 15 lbs."

The guy with Orange hair Got life and not the needle in Colorado................ :rant: :rant: :rant: Must have been a bunch of tree huggers on the jury............... :puke:

  And this is one of the primary reasons this retired police officer hasn't had a lot of use for the death penalty, the mandated appeals processes are ruinously expensive. I agree life in prison with no hope of ever seeing freedom isn't much to look forward to.

Our law makes it clear that we don't execute people who are mentally ill, and nobody who is objective and honest can say this guy isn't seriously mentally ill.  Besides, it costs more to use capital punishment than it does to put someone away for life.

I'm with an earlier poster who said this kind of work is not missed! I worked on computers and computer systems for ages! Octal mainframes, DOS PC's, and Windows 3.0 thru Windows 7. Got burned out fixing other peoples problems and retired just after Windows 8 came out. I will stay with 7 and still have a MAC Book running XP. I maintain my own of course but find myself enjoying my guns, my music (drums), fixing bicycles, boating and fishing these days!

Whoever is in control of the crazy, could you please dial it back just a tad? Too much crazy happening all at once.

Well call me a Red Neck, a Tenkara setup is a cane pole from my youth.(ya I had to google it to find out LOL) Great looking fun you had whiskey, I used to fly fish years ago.

I have nothing but good things to say about the remora sticky holster.  It clings well to the inside of my pocket, so you get the gun and not the holster.    While its not the smallest gun on the market, modern men's jeans and dress pants come in flavors that have large pockets if you look for those when you buy.  I could carry a glock 17 or 19 in some of my dress pants pockets.  Jeans are not quite that big but I can still sit my Makarov or cz rami  in there.  These bigger guns *FIT* but drawing them isn't as clean as a smaller model and printing can become an issue esp for wide bodies.   The one I actually carry, sig 938, fits in my jeans pockets behind my wallet with room for my hand in there on top of it all.  Not sure how the glock compares to the sig, ...    the thing about pocket carry is you may need to buy new pants.  Just like big gun guys buy belts and big shirts to pull over em and special holsters and all that... pocket carry means buying pants, often.   Its just part of it.

They'll have to. Unless 10 Pro is somehow vastly different than the home edition no large IT shop is going to fool with it. I imagine Microsoft has gotten an ear-full from corporate customers the past few years. I'm not so sure 10 is going to do anything to change that. Sent using wizardry.

I will pocket carry my MK9 or 2" SP101 in a Desantis Nemesis depending upon the cut/shape of my pants pocket.

I'd love to get some of us middle Tennessee guys together for some fishing one day. As a general rule my enthusiasm far exceeds my expertise. That said it would be fun to get a bunch of us out.

As far as being too big to pocket carry, I tried it at the gun store (with their permission :)) and it is fine.  I am 6'-4" and 330 pounds...I could pocket carry a 2 liter coke :)!   B

I was going to say 2-Ton epoxy, but it hardens pretty fast. Holds like crazy though. I just used it to glue my rearview mirror back on. But you don't want it to harden before you get everything fitted perfectly, so use the 1-Hour stuff.

Non members is $15

You guys must have big pockets.

When I pocket carry I use a Galco holster.

Games of brinkmanship only work when you are playing with rational actors. As far as Gorby and the USSR in the 80's, that had way more to do with their collapsing economy than anything ol' Ronnie Raygun did.

  Don't even have to actually do half that, just have serious talks about doing it. Gorbachev and the Soviet Union changed their attitude in the 80's when Ronald Reagan was pushing SDI. Remind Putin that WE WILL retaliate 10 fold against some 13th century sand box if they ever use a nuke against an ally of the U.S. Right now Russia, China, and Iran laugh at America because of our weak leadership.   Remember that inauguration day 1981 when Ronald Reagan was sworn in as President was the very same day Iran released the 52 American hostages they held while we had a weak and indecisive President Carter, they knew if they didn't their time was limited. Enemies take strength seriously. Shortly after 8 years of a strong and respected President communism collapsed in Europe.

  Just be aware the free upgrade expires July 2016. After that, you'll have to pay for it. From what I understand, if you do the update now, the install will phone back to the Microsoft mothership and update a database with info about your PC. After that the upgrade is locked in and you will be able to format and reinstall after July 2016 if you want. You just have to take that first step of upgrading.

I can't follow Donald Trump. In tonight's debate he talked of making donations to politicians not because he supported them, but for the favors that they would be obliged to return. He didn't condemn the practice, he only acknowledged it. He used bankruptcy laws to feather his own financial nest, regardless of the people who would be put out of work. He says he's the only one who can save America, yet our history was written by the many good and sacrificial things which groups of people did for the whole, rather than what a single individual accomplished for himself. Watching Trump tonight, I couldn't help but compare him to the performance of Robert DeNiro as Al Capone in The Untouchables. Watch the character's attitude and mannerisms in this clip and see if you spot the similarities to Trump.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdNSlyrbcDY   And Huckabee?  No thanks.  I can't forget those ads he made praising the virtues of Lamar Alexander.

  He can propose all the taxes he wants, but House and Senate have to pass it before he can sign it.

So after trip to eye doctor about new glasses last week he wanted me to go to Loden Vision Center for a cataract evaluation exam. I called Yesterday and when the woman answered to the phone she said May I help you and I said my eye doctor said I needed to call you and get an appointment for Cataract exam. The next words out of your mouth was who is your insurance carriers?????? Didn't even ask for my name first. I fired back and said don't you even want to know my name or is the money more important than patient care at Loden???? He tone changed really fast and she began taking down all my information and then finally got around to my insurance carriers. I told her I wanted an afternoon appointment. Now I called the Gallatin Location Of Lodens and she says which office do you want to go to and named of 3 that would require a 30 + minute drive and I asked he if I had called the Gallatin Location and she said yes and I said does my address not say Gallatin Tennessee and she said yes and I said if I live in Gallatin and your office is located in Gallatin why would I want an appointment in downtown Nashville? A long pause on the phone and she said they had appointment for 1:45 of September 2nd and I said I will take it and I thanked her. I sincerely hope that their doctors are much more intelligent than she is............... :stunned:  

  To be precise, it is not necessarily illegal to drink and carry, unless you do it in a public establishment that dispenses alcoholic beverages.   In all other cases, it is illegal to be "under the influence of alcohol", a term that has no exact quantitative definition in relation to firearm possession.   - OS

I've got a MI Gen 2 SS 15" on one of mine. It's pretty slim, they list the I.D. as 1.3".

Amendment 2 is a good guy.

He is much to smart to enter this Circus Side show........jmho

Yea...they are investigating Hillary Clinton's email scandal too...  :waiting:

I'm loving the GoPro! Took my 3yo fishing with my buddy yesterday, and was able to get some decent video even with keeping track of a 3yo boy at the river! Hehe Fishing South Harpeth River: https://youtu.be/paQ-qz-hkT0

I agree never their fault always somebody else's.
