I have only been a member for like a month. Since then I have figured out how I need to spend my next 15 paychecks through gun purchases, prepping needs, knives, ammo, and accessories. I didn't even entertain the idea of owning a Polaris with a turret, shooting at a drone, or filling a hot tub full of tannerite just to see what happens (the last one is a lie...it's a bucket list item). My wife is already butthurt *TM warpig enterprises* about the purchase of a flame thrower this year and YOU GUYS AREN'T HELPING! And I thank you for that. Carry on...

I would thank him for his opinion and continue carrying the M9.

I'm not leaving, and not sure who said this. "I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered in someone else's blood... and I've no problems going out the same way". But that's the way I feel about it.

I just finished up my AR9 pistol and am extremely happy with the way it turned out. It came in under $675. Sent from my BLU STUDIO 5.0 C HD using Tapatalk

WarPig,   Might I suggest some Group Therapy for your wife and you?   Primos Group Therapy Bench Anchor Adjustable Shooting Rest   http://amzn.com/B00BD55K9M

:rofl:     My wife and I came to an an understanding fairly early on.... the lid is always closed.  That way, we both always have to open/close something. 

Spending other people's money is a hobby of mine  :rofl: I recommend expensive cool stuff any time I have the opportunity.

And people think fences are expensive... Empire probably makes fencing look cheap ;) Texas has been talking about a fence for years - only they're talking about putting it on the northern border.

  Here is the simple math: You build a 10 foot wall, they will bring an 11 foot ladder. ;)

I'm a Glock guy so when I ran across a 17 in the new gray finish I had to have one of the ugly things. I like the new color. Since I can't leave anything alone I did a couple things to it today. Did a little trigger work, installed stainless parts, FO front sight and decided to polish the barrel. Doesn't look too bad. They also had a few models in Barney Purple but I'm not that far gone yet. Bad cell pics.

I lower the seat when I'm done...one less argument to have with the misses...but after 20 years of complaining, she still won't put the fresh roll back on the holder instead of balancing it on the empty one...life's not fair, LOL.     BTW...my best bathroom prank ever was unrolling a few feet of paper and drawing a spider on a sheet and rolling it back up. She's deathly afraid of spiders and I never heard the end of that one.

Out in public I raise the seat if there is not a wall unit. Am I the only that will admit at home I sit to take a wiz? Now I do wiz outside way more than waste water. Much more relaxing and 9 out of 10 times I am taking a dump any way.

Simply if you hang out here, and are not apart of any the Forbes lists, I suggest you learn M-O-D-E-R-A-T-I-O-N.  If you are man of faith, the temptation of #10 of the 10 commandments are hard to resist, I have sinned a lot over the years due to this site.    For you lazy, low information, or don't care people, #10 is don't covet your neighbors <fill in the blank>.  And if you still need a little help, Webster says covet = yearn to possess or have something.

Nothing a hot tub full of Tannrite can't fix....

  In it's own slightly different way, it's a bit more frightening as ONE SECOND AFTER. The plot is easily thought of as realistically possible.   Not to make light of it, but it really puts me in mind of Chuck Norris and Invasion! USA! from many years back.

We're the worst? Nah, we're the best, just don't ask the wives opinions.

BTW, butthurt cannot be a trademarked word. I was getting butthurt, and calling it that, for a very, very long time.   You have a lot of catching up to do if you are just getting started. Not sure if you have enough time left now because we have 54 days left before the first major incident that might spark the up and coming civil, socioeconomic, race war.

One Year After, the sequel to One Second After, is being released Sept. 15th.   http://www.amazon.com/One-Year-After-A-Novel/dp/0765376709

Edit to add: ^^^^^^^^^ Yeah, all that and over time you'll get to meet some real characters from here.

And, it might be worth discussing whether or not a fence or a wall represents an actual tool or if instead it's a political prop. In some cases these folks are traveling dozens of miles across inhospitable terrain. Do we really believe a couple of strands of wire - or even a larger fence will actually turn folks around?

I'm sure you could string some barbed wire up. I'm just suggesting that this proposal should likely be viewed from a pandering perspective as opposed to an actual policy persoective.

There are 1954 miles of border with Mexico. We issued 61,520 visas to Mexicans last year. Simple math will illustrate the problem with this proposal.

I'm not leaving. If I had to leave the USA though, I guess Califorinia would be the closest place to go.

I ain't going nowhere. I'll fight to save this country.

I found some numbers.   In 2014 there were 623 people killed at the hands of approximately 900,000 police officers in the US. It does not say whether these shoots were good or bad. That works out to .00069 deaths per officer.   There is an estimated 11.1 million people who carry a firearm for self defense in the US. That is ~11,100,000. And those 11.1 million people killed, on average, 76 people a year. That works out to .00000685 deaths per person carrying a firearm for self defense.    You are 100x more likely to be killed by a LE officer than by someone who carries a firearm for self defense. Even if these number are off by 50% you are more likely to be wrongfully killed by a LE officer than a person carrying a gun for self defense. So those "experts" are full of it.   But if you don't compare the numbers to each other and actually look at the percentages you realize that the actual chance of being killed by a person carrying a gun for self defense is nearly a statistical improbability. You are probably more likely to be killed by fireworks, drowning, car accident, stroke or heart disease than by LE or a person carrying a gun for self defense.   references: http://crimepreventionresearchcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Concealed-Carry-Permit-Holders-Across-the-United-States.pdf http://www.nleomf.org/facts/enforcement/ http://www.gunfacts.info/gun-control-myths/concealed-carry/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_by_law_enforcement_officers_in_the_United_States,_2014   But even if my numbers are off by 50% your are still more likely to die at the hands of LE than at the hand of a person who carries a firearm for self defense.

  Comrade Kalashnikov designed it that way. Otherwise, one might eventually have to clean it.   - OS

Here's a biggun' headed to a TGO member via the leather sheath maker.

  Herman Cain had it figured out years ago "build a fence 20 feet tall, then electrify it and to be politically correct, put a sign on it that says "warning this fence will kill you" in english and spanish"

Before I left the shop we put a nickel boron slide on the gray frame. It looked really good.

  Avoid IOR like IO like the plague. They have ALWAYS, and still do, have quality control issues. I handled one at SMKW and it had some rivets that looked like they should rattle. Some were nice and round and others were 1/2 flat. They are the bottom of the barrel as far as AKs go.   You can get a WASR for about the same price and get a great gun.

Just finished reading "Day of Wrath" by William Forstchen - in one sitting - it is riveting. Hope you are already familiar with his "One Second After" This is far better in my opinion.   I have read many of the SHTF novels, but this one seems the most plausable and terrifying. I highly recommend it.     http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1625781547?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00  

You got us right; we're a bunch of terrible influences...  Great ain't it!

I think Day of Wrath should be required reading by every member of every school board in Georgia.  I thought about sending a copy to each member of my school board, but they would probably take it as a threat.   Current Georgia Code* allows school boards to authorize people with training and a Georgia Weapons Carry License to be able to carry in their schools.  It is a simple way to provide armed defense of schools.  The law is general enough that the requirements could easily be met, if the school board would just consider it.  Mine won't.   *As opposed to the actual law that removes the prohibition against carrying in schools by license-holders altogether, but the Governor has conspired and manipulated so as not be recognized.

you don't see many deals on any dillon set.  the used one goes all most the same as a new one.  i all ways look for a good price on any dillon items, but the used market is priced high.  i just buy new and reload on. 

Well played sir.

"The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated" wrote Mark Twain....seems likely the above was as well.   +1 to Dave Campbell and Hodgdon for a timely response.     "I have heard nothing that would make me believe we are on the verge of losing W231/HP-38, but I do think that availability will continue to be an issue. I can assure you W231/ HP-38 will continue to be in the Hodgdon / Winchester product lines.   Mike Daly was mistaken."   Dave Campbell Customer Service Representative Hodgdon Powder Company 6430 Vista Drive Shawnee, KS 66218 913-362-9455 Ext. 117

Wanna really pizz your wife off? Tightly stretch a piece of saran wrap over the bowl, and then let the seat back down. :rofl:   If she don't look at the position of the seat, she'll never see the saran wrap till it's too late.   We have a "leave it like ya found it" policy here regarding toilet seats. Sort of like gates.

  LOL .... I started doing that on my own so long ago for that exact same reason... Plus I hate seeing someone else's skid marks!

Speed strips, when I occasionally carry the LCR - and I like Tuff strips. They have more options as to caliber and round count, including 5 round versions for snubby's

I've seen a lot of this world, and there ain't none of it I'd trade for my home. If that means dying defending it, I'm ok with that too

  You did mention ammo but to be specific you really need to go out and but every box of any brand and type at any price of .22LR ammo. Can't believe you missed that one. Better hurry before it's too late. Maybe want to get some green tip .556 while you're at it.

The premier of The Walking Dead: Season 6?  

  There are rumors that Idaho will become part of the USA soon.   - OS

Hope you're not installing these on your Glock-- it takes some rather specialized equipment to sight them in...

Nowhere is even close. I'll ride out the storm. Or fight it out if need be.

And I don't mean to paint LE in a bad light either. There is approximately 1 in 511,000 chance that you are lawfully killed by law enforcement which is 82x as more likely than being struck by lightening in their lifetime, 1 in 6,250. So statistically you should be struck by lightening 82 times before being killed by law enforcement. And the chance of you being illegally killed by law enforcement is such a statistically small sample that it should never even be feared as a way to die.

I'd be interested in an example.

This aint got a damn thing to do with public safety, or money...     The powers that be, do not want the minions(us) to have guns...It's just that simple...They are afraid of the populous, because we outnumber them greatly, and it's not very smart for a few thousand ultra rich people to piss off 300 million people with guns...Hence the nonstop efforts by them to disarm the people...Once we are disarmed, then they basically do whatever the hell they want to do to us without fear of reprisal...   Resistance is crucial....

Just got the Email that they're back in stock. I don't know how long that'll last, so buy now if you need one. :up: http://algdefense.com/ak-trigger-akt.html
