Absolutely. Vaccines are one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind and there's no way I am going refuse medicine that saves literally millions upon millions of lives every year. Besides that, there are kids with cancer or that have received heart transplants and are taking immunosuppressants that are counting on all of us for herd immunity.  

Yes.  Plus I am bringing in a nurse to the office to give them to all my employees if they want one.  

I already did.  Whatever microchip tracking device the Government is putting into us, is already deep inside my arm by this point.

  This is impossible with modern flu shots.  If your wife gets sick after getting the shot, she likely contracted the flu virus before or shortly after getting the shot.  It takes a week or two to be effectively protected.   My son caught it last year and this year.  Last year he caught it before shots were available, and this year just before he was supposed to get it.  Had he gotten the shot last week, he still would have gotten sick, and a lay person would attribute that to the flu shot.  That isn't how it works.   ETA: The vaccine isn't 100%.  Not even close.  So many people get the shot and get the flu anyway.  This tends to be the argument for not getting a shot, which actually makes the flu spread even worse.  If people would simply do a little research and accept that science holds more water than wives tales, we might save a few thousand lives this year.

I say let her visit. There can NEVER be enough reinforcement of the consequences of "bad decisions". That goes not only for all people but especially those at that age.

Lucifer? Nah - i'm for cthulu

Wife and I will both have one.  Seen too many deaths from influenza sequelae in the 55+ population (of which we are both members).    TMFs observation about the "herd immunity" effect are quite valid.

My wife and daughter already had their shots.  My son was supposed to get his at school this week when they were doing them there.  He caught the flu sometime last week and was down for 4 days.  Neither my wife or daughter caught it from him.  I know the perception is that the flu shot is not that effective when you just look at the percentages, but the more people who get the shot, the less it spreads.  It's math.

I guess I will continue to be in the wrong crowd as often as possible............ :up:

5/32" thick 1095 carbon steel with filework on the spine, Padauk scales and acid etched. It has a copper pin and lanyard hole. It's about 10 1/4" in OAL with a 5 1/2" blade. It's headed to Texas after Mark@Sea finished the sheath.

If they would come up with a shot for East TN sinus issues, then I'd be first in line!

  That's what all of those FEMA caskets are for.

A child should have access to both parents unless one or both are abusing them. Life is about ups and downs, the sooner she learns that the better. Besides, it's not like she is an axe murderer, she screwed up and is receiving the consequences; a good lesson me thinks.

In general, people at Walmart are much more frightening than people at gun stores.

What if an agoraphobic walks into a gun store? Would he still be the wrong crowd?

Bad crowd? From what I have seen this crowd is made up of people who are responsible, honest, friendly, concerned with the evil in our world and government, willing to help those in need, but who happen to enjoy guns and like our founding fathers realize the need for guns in a free society. Bad crowd , if y'all don't mind I think I'll just continue to hang with y'all.

  Allow me to interpret their explanation into a REAL explanation.  

Just to add, over 30,000 of your fellow Americans will die this year from the flu.  Many of them will be people with compromised immune systems who depend on herd immunity to protect them from contracting the virus.  Since a good chunk of us here will get cancer at some point in our lives and will undergo chemo treatment, you might want to at least do some research on these vaccines to better understand them.  I'm sure if your kid was getting chemo, your opinion on getting a simple vaccination would drastically change.   http://www.healthline.com/health/flu-shot-side-effects#FluShots1   http://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/10-flu-myths

"Does he throw holy water on you and see if you melt?" Now that's funny right there but I don't think he is looking for vampires, just Christians but with that in mind he might want to have a pet pig in the store while sale is going on or offer free pack of bacon with every purchase..................jmho

Are you suggesting a Jewish person might lie about their faith in order to get that 5% discount? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've really heard the term "common sense gun laws" beaten to death in the past few days.  I really believe that this phrase was coined to 1) insult anyone that does not agree with the proposed measures and 2) subtly convince the uneducated, uninformed and the fence sitters that going against the proposed measure would defy logic.    I know that I am preaching to the choir here but only a fool would simply go along with any government proposal without examining the contents for themselves and drawing their own conclusions. 

I love their motto: "Eat in Peace."    Because if they don't post, we'll come in like Yosemite Sam and blast the place up, just as has happened, what, zero times now?

https://gma.yahoo.com/gun-store-opens-near-suburban-school-prompting-protests-225913996--abc-news-topstories.html   In a Virginia suburb  a gun shop opened near a school creating a furor. Among other things a local Dr. said "I'm outraged by this. It shows poor judgment," Dr. Bita Motesharrei, a local doctor, told ABC News. "It attracts the wrong crowd."  

Close the gun store and rent the space to a "Massage Parlor" with a "Motel" next door. . . .

Comms, Not sure if you watched any of the reloading vids on you tube. Type a search with press you want to see and you get an idea of what you have to go through. "Most" of the videos are really educational and you also get an opinion of the operators good and bad of the press they run. I shoot mostly pistol and reload on a Dillon SDB. It's been a very reliable press and has the no BS warranty which is a plus ! The die sets are only usable in the SDB press. Extra tool heads make caliber change over faster and less trouble as your setting don't change. Used presses and die sets are always found fer sale and save you some $$ from new, but not to much . With the amount of pistol shooting you do it's a good option in a progressive press. The Dillon 550 uses same dies as all the other presses and tool heads save time in change over. Yes you have to rotate the plate but once you establish a routine it will pump out Ammo. If you are wanting to speed load, then save your self lots of trouble and just purchase Ammo ! NEVER BE IN A HURRY TO RELOAD ! If time is an issue, and you don't have much time, DRIVE FAST to your local store and buy ammo. Just my $.02 worth. Be safe always, Mike

  Yeah, that's kind of the issue. The HK buffer tube is $200 so I'm trying to spare it. I know...it's ridiculous, but I'd rather not replace it. Working on some pics I should have up in a second.    The stock definitely has some wiggle in it, so that little pin can't be in there too tight...

I rarely catch anything, but the two times I've had the flu I was completely out of commission for a week.  Seven full days of fever up to 102, body aches, fatigue, to the point that I did not get out of bed except when I had to.  Anybody who has had the flu will probably be in favor of getting a flu shot.

  Will not work for resizing lube.    Additionally, you DO NOT want to use resizing lube in place of the astroglide.     You can learn a lot in the TGO chatroom....

How about Astro Glide?

Depends on the gun. Different guns require different types of lube and by different types I mean oil or grease. I prefer to use grease on everything I can for several reasons. First it stays where you put it so you do not have a round oil spot in your safe from oil that runs down the gun. Second dirt and crud will sit on top of grease rather than get mixed in with it like oil. But there are some down sides to using grease. First grease does not help keep the crude suspended like oil can so it can allow a gun to malfunction sooner compared to oil when the gun is getting really dirty. But even so I use grease on everything then have a small can of WD-40 to keep the crude moving. This helps remedy a malfunction as well as prevent one if the gun is starting to become sluggish.   For when I MUST use oil I use a 50/50 mix of 30 weight synthetic and automatic transmission fluid. The transmission fluid has a lot of detergents in it so it helps keep the crude from thickening and causing malfunctions. And if I want a lube that really cuts the crude I will add 10% of injector cleaner into the 50/50 mix. I ran a 50/50/10 mix in a silenced 22 rifle and it would go thousands of rounds between cleanings as long as I used the mixture. If I did not the gun would start to malfunction at ~500 rounds so I know it does work well but I still prefer grease over oil for 99% of my guns.

  The OP, Grand Torino, made it.

Kydex with those high-end tomahawks. That's probably where I saw that. I wonder if you could do it with Velcro along the bottom? Pull the handle rearward and down and the bottom corner of the blade would pull through the Velcro.

I'm curious about the hand fitting. Not sure you can build one at home and not have a smith involved somehow.  I've run across frames on PSA and Brownell's for not a lot of $.

    maybe I am wrong but I think Catholics are Christians

Ugh.... miss my Jeep. Poor decision making and no check from friends.... now I'm am Jeep'less To answer your question. They're pretty hard to kill actually. Look for big dents in the underside, bent things, take a few minutes and look at any fluids you can. If it's got carpet, look behind it to see if there's signs of being completely under water. There's other stuff that isn't that bad... but you can check to see if the hubs are gone, ball joints, etc....

Thank ya very much

  Should have listened to you on this one.  There was already some loctite on the supplied screws.  I thought that would be enough.  Nope.  I am starting to dial in the sight and wham, something hits me in the forehead.  I thought it was a shell at first until I noticed the rmr was no longer on my gun.  I guess I will go buy some loctite before I reinstall the sight.  

I think it looks Great. Maybe 2-loops a little bit wider to help distribute the weight.

350 million guns, all the law abiding folks legally purchase, give away their privacy in the form of universal background checks, register their weapons and...mass shootings still occur. Next step sell the fact gun laws don't keep you safe from guns, begin confiscation since you know where to look. Guv'mint being so efficient and Americans being so law abiding,the get 90%...swords into ploughshares...victory! Except for the 35 million remaining in the hands of many BGs and of course, a disarmed population, which is the end game.

Still can't shoot can you? Sorry Bro, couldn't help it! Dave

I would like to have seen it demo-ed as a hip carry. I personally wouldn't like that bulge on my thigh in trying to sit.

I would like one in the .41 mag to match my Redhawk-I bet they are a fun shooting rifle.

Won't be a problem. I'd like to see 100 lever rifles in the classified; even if I was selling one as well.

I think this video is one of the best to help you decide on a safe:     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltK-bDbADa8

I find the whole argument ludicrous. Nature abhors a vacuum. ANY life that refuses to defend itself is culled at some point in time.  The Natural right to self defense has pre-dated governments and indeed exists outside of government. It is an immutable and universal law, recognized in the Talmud, the Bible, in Lex Rex (1644), the Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights, and even that decision is illuminated by the Federalist Papers numbers 28,29 and 48. I will not go where I cannot defend myself.

Ever since i listened to that young lady describe how she lost her father and mother by following an order to not carry in that restaurant in Texas when she left her gun in her car. I can promise you  I have no intention of going through anything like that. If a maniac shows up in a place I am eating one of us is going to die from bullet holes being inflected and since he may be the one that starts it I will be the one doing my best to end it and hope i have others there to help but if not so be it...................jmho
