Buds guns meet and greet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had an Metro Nashville LEO stop and help me when I blew a radiator hose on McGavock Pike one morning. Couldn't get the bad hose clamp to work and lost a lot of coolant. He took the time to drive me to a nearby auto parts place, wait for them to open (early AM) and drive me back to my car. He didn;t have to do that, he could have just as easily called a tow truck. He wasn't on patrol as he was on the way to practice exiting a helicopter on a rope. I have the utmost respect for our police force. You might have a bad apple sometimes, but most are great people doing a tough job with little thanks. What kind of society would we be without them,

      You'll pass out long before you are ever arrested and prosecuted for violating 922r.   Who checks these things?

True. I've been tempted by several items from them, but just haven't wanted to give the asking price.   And in spite of my handle, I'd buy a CZ75 before the SOG Hipower pricing. But I want a shooter, not a collector piece.

SOG may be charging that much since they went to all the effort of taking actual photos and posting them of the thing.  This seems to be a new development.   Seems to me SOG has always been a bit on the high side for their "collector" pieces.

Using the same source to fund two addictions is sometimes a problem. I recently found another gun I had to have. Glad I had paid for the TR4 in advance.

Sks because you also get a bayonet!

I'm guessing this was not even on the weird radar of the DMV workers.

      I too, see this country spiraling down towards civil unrest and I think the ones in power at the moment, are perpetuating that spiral with their rhetoric.  I don't think anyone really wants to see the result either.  All this talk about Australian like gun control, which really means gun confiscation, may be the first real effort to push the right into open rebellion, depending on how the 2016 elections go.

Call the TWRA, I have heard of them retrieving deer in these situations.  I know of one such instance personally.  It's worth a shot so that the deer isn't wasted.

I am offering unwanted and unsolicited advise here...so hold on to your wallets.   Guys, if you are fence-sitting on getting one of these knives...read this.   I am not a big-time knife collector. I don't know crap about much at all truthfully. But if you are thinking about ordering one of the TR4 knives...don't hesitate on it.   You won't get a better production made knife at this kind of price. These are solid, well made knives, and they are great looking. Quality shows in each build.   They open with a good solid feel and close easily. The finish is awesome on them.   And they are sharp! Both literally and figuratively!   The only way you will get a knife of the same quality will be to go to a custom knifemaker and get a one-off model. I know this because I do have a couple of   nice pieces from Kim Breed and an A.G. Russell. I have had a couple of early Randall knives but let them get away.   In short, these are some great knives for pocket carry or just to say you have a nice little collection.   You have 1 day left. Get off the pot!

I don’t know why people get so paranoid about drones. They are great recreational toys and used in legitimate business. Like guns, (or most anything else) they have the potential for abuse, but that needs to be dealt with when it happens. If someone destroys my property while I am using it lawfully, they will be arrested and prosecuted as fully as I can make happen.

Shut your mouth, man! I won't even shoot light bullets in the FAL. ;-)

Penny stocks are that way for a reason. Steer clear.

Driving back form Nashville today on I40 just west of Cookville, I saw something I haven't seen in a long time.  I saw a State trooper on the side of the road with his lights on.  After I moved to the left lane, I saw it didn't appear to be a traffic stop but more of offering assistance.   Hopefully this is more common then my impression, but I saw a state trooper on the side of the road giving assistance to another motorist.   I saw the Hoods of both cars up and what appeared to be a heavy gauge booster cables running between the 2 vehicles.   Even though It wasn't, it could have just has easily been my wife or myself.   So I just want to say thinks to the State Trooper just in case he/she happens to be a member here.

I would have been all over any $300 S&W! . I think with a little effort your Dan Wesson will go $400-$450.

99's are the best! Let's keep that our little secret, huh? :up: :up: [URL=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/IMG_2385_zpsddff940f.jpg.html][/URL] Proof that they work.

Fished JPP today. Started for bass and ended catching crappie. Caught one small spot and that was it. Switched to crappie and finally found some brush holding them. Caught 5 keepers and probably about the same in shorts. I also lost 4 and missed a ton, lots of pecks and short strikes. Might have been due to the cold front. If you have never used side/down scan it's amazing, cuts down on a lot of waisted time fishing fruitless waters. 

Fun match today guys! I finally got to practice strong hand shooting. Too bad practice was on the clock. :)

I like seeing dead coyotes, but with the price of arrows and broadheads now, are they really worth it?

I ordered a Nano QX for $80 so I could learn to fly it before I bought a $500 quad and put my $400 GoPro on it… and crashed. But I can’t get the controller set-up right so I can even take off. So I’ll have to wait until I find a kid to set it up for me.

Had a good time today fellas.  We will have to do this again sometime.  

Temperature wise I'd say it's right on the edge of spoilage, it's going to depend a lot on whether the carcass is in the sun or shade.  Not sure how I would feel about eating something buzzards have been eating on though.

You know, that 2x4 thing wasn't bad, that actually surprised me it cut that well.  If he had the board secure, that thing could have got through on 4 good whacks.

:stunned:  :stunned:  Some people should not have guns.

No, I did that with one shot.

You are in Tennessee; you pull a sword and you will get shot. Don't bring a knife (or sword) to a gun fight.

another thing about playtime investments is your taxes become a nightmare.    If you are trying to day-trade them to flip for a profit a few times a day, you can quickly be looking at 200, 500 transactions to manage come tax time.   You then get to total your losses and gains.  And then you get to deal with the foreign investment rules if you went there.   And so on.   Its not hard, but it can be a lot to keep track of and deal with. 

I Would rather just have a fighting cane than fool with that.   The sword canes in general are low quality weapons, slow to draw, with an awkward handle for swordplay.  Even if you get one with a better blade, it will still suffer the handle/draw problem.    If talking a healthy person carrying it as a disguised weapon, fighting stick upside the head is going to do as well.    If talking actually handicapped, a sword might win out for someone  too weak to get a good swing with the cane if you honed it razor sharp.  In that case, I would prefer it to be a half sword, rather than a full length one, as a weaker person might not do well with a full sized blade. 

If only he could cut his calories this well.     I'm sorry, I went there :D

I hope they hear it.  Do it now.   The odds of this ever being a gun owners victory will get slim if the Dem's win the white house again.  We have a Judge who won't be there in a few more years. The next new one will not be on our side.

The days of logic and common sense are long gone my friend. (Not directed towards Gotthegoods) :)

You will pass out long before the ATF comes to their senses. Personally if you get the ATF knocking at your door over a 922r violation you have royally screwed up somewhere. I have three Romanian guns and all have been perfect. There are a lot of issues cropping up with the Century C47 and RAS guns. The bolts, not the carriers, are mushrooming BAD. They had issues with carriers being too soft and the bolts are apparently soft too. They are also using a lot of cast parts that are supposed to be forged. Only time will tell with the cast parts but there are already some knowledgeable people chiming in saying they will fail.

Picked up a bottle of this tonight. I really like it. Smooth and slow heat build up in the back of your throat and nose. Not sure if it is worth the extra over the Reserve but it is a nice sippin bourbon.

  I was thinking an old Marlin goose gun would be much more satisfying.

Well, it's always something.   If accurate info, I guess Serbia and US makers in particular will benefit for a while.   - OS

This is made from 1/4" thick 1095 carbon steel and is a whopping 17" long with a blade length on 12". It has red oak scales and SS pins and lanyard hole. It's double acid etched. It's headed to the sheath maker tomorrow for a sheath exactly like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcgbXSCyAMo

all the wal marts around my area never has anything.  the same old group of old farts gets the ammo here.  i hope they have to eat it.    

Shoot, that's pretty cool lookin! He probably wasn't ever gonna be prettier than he is now, might as well take him out of the gene pool. Make a cool European mount!

    Understandable.  I'd just call em up and try to get an estimated turnaround.    Or you could just dump about 5 mags and burn some more of the finish off :rock:

This is the most gun friendly SCOTUS we're likely to see for a generation.  If good things can't come from this court, imagine how much luck we might have with a few Hillary appointed Justices added to the mix.   I say taking well placed legal shots (no pun intended) now is an acceptable risk.

I took the Grandsons out on the youth hunt (Cross Creeks) yesterday and all three tagged out in about 40 minutes. What an awesome day! (L) Tyler (second deer) (Middle) Adam First Deer (R) Devin second deer (First Buck) Tyler's doe went about 20 yards and the other two dropped where they stood with neck shots. We were about a mile from the truck and Grandpa and Dad got put through the paces getting the deer out! We have lots of work to do this morning. Have a blessed day Dave

Complaining that Franklin Gun overcharges is like complaining about a politician telling a lie. You know'd that before you went in that place. Won't surprise me a bit one day when they start charging a cover charge to walk in the door.

I'd check into the Alien Gear 3.0 holster. I owned the original version which was a crossbreed clone just like all the others and didn't care for it. I have a buddy that has the 2.0 and it's a much nicer holster. You can see the details on their site but they do away with the leather in favor or plastic and neoprene. He say's it's much more comfortable and has no long break in period. The 3.0 (which I just ordered) adds another layer of spring sheet metal or something like that to give it a little more rigidity. I think it also adds another layer of cushion. They are right at $50 shipped too with a lifetime warranty and you can swap out the kydex shell for free if you change guns.

I have an alien gear for my Glock 42. Great holster.   http://aliengearholsters.com/holsters/glock-42.html

If they were going for the third grade look, they could have done it themselves. Heck it only took me 1 minute to come up with my third grade version.

That price for a new logo was absurd.  $46k for what is essentially a 12yr old level of graphic design?  They could have had a held a contest for high school & college students with a $500 gift card as a reward and gotten some decent submissions.   They need to probe hard between who had authorization for that contract and the people of the agency it went to for links.  If this was simple stupidity and not corruption in some way I'll be...well, still pissed, but astoundingly pissed instead of same old corruption pissed.
