I've been pretty good about the wait until now. Something about hearing that they are finally done and now I'm sitting here like this:

I'm a pretty private guy despite being at the front of TGO, so all I can say here is that this request is for me and my family and I'd appreciate any prayers you could offer today. Thanks.     Update 11/13/15...   Thanks all for the prayers.  Sometimes the answer we want isn't the one we get.  We're a little sadder in my household tonight but recognize that God is in control and are grateful for His many blessings.   I appreciate everyone who said a few words for us the past few days.  At this point we are simply looking for a period of restoration and healing.

Not sure why you asked us anyway. Seems like it would have been easier to ask your in house expert!

Thank you all for the prayers and responses to the thread.  The responses provide encouragement; the prayers provide the unseen.   This is a medical situation and right now we're just in a holding pattern.  More to come tomorrow but right now we simply have no news, good or bad.  I'd appreciate your continued consideration.

Wow, glad you were able to avert a disaster and rescue her. Just remember, Charlie don't surf neither. :usa:

  If she had just showed the firearm rather than pointing it him it perhaps/likely wouldn't have garnered the charge.   Pointing it at him once he actually moved away, and while standing next to a bystander was especially egregious, and this was the part that undoubtedly got the reckless endangerment count tacked on.   - OS

That's obivously a Direwolf! Lol. Serious note, holy Christ that is a big doggy. Definitely need to get a full body stuff for that thing! Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

You. Are. Evil.

  I don't always buy rats, but when I do, it's from strangers in parking lots at night.

This is a Marble Pattern Carbon Fiber that Protech just started making, I have one coming to me with the TR4 knives I will be checking it out and deciding if this will be the next TGO knife, If this is it it will have the 3 Bullet design in gold on the blade, let me know your thoughts on it, I will not post an official thread until You Are all are ready

Hopefully, this case has garnered enough national attention for some guns rights organizations to make sure she has a decent attorney.    That set up.... buying cigarettes with no lighter sounds like BS... an alibi so he could defend his statement to a cop if things went south in his con or whatever he was doing. I'd like to know what priors this guy has. His retreating to a woman with a small child saying, "she pulled a gun on me" also sounds like a pre-planned action. This just doesn't smell right.    I read somewhere that the surveillance camera showed him walking by her and then coming back. Is that what happened or am I confusing this? I couldn't find any reference to it in the story or the TV news video. If that happened, it would be even more suspicious.   EDITED: Yes... I found it. EDITED AGAIN: Yeah, I agree she didn't handle this right, but she never fired the gun and there's no way a 67-year-old can draw a weapon with a threat 10 feet away.  

Guilty. I even managed to cut myself while trying to cut the excess off a dressing of another cut of mine.

Argh.....I like Cabelas so much more than Bass Pro. That sucks.

I went to Afghanistan for work and got to shoot one of those it appears. We met with a Green beret unit and they let us shoot a bunch of stuff and one of them was a 308 suppressed that looked just like one of those. Got to shoot some distance that I've never shot before. Cool rifle though

You expect the democrats to oppose gun rights issues, but, here in Tennessee Republican lie to us more, at least the Democrats are honest in trying to take those rights away.

I think it was wrong for her to be charged. Common enough robbery prelude: "Hey Lady, ya got a light?" A distraction before a purse snatching in almost every case. If he was within 21 feet of her and aggressive and not stopping his approach when told to, he is in the wrong. You have less than two seconds to stop an assault from someone who gets within 21 feet of you. If it was the Police Officer himself that had been approached in such a manner, the officer would not hesitate to draw down on the aggressor. The woman did not shoot the perpetrator, she just stopped him. A reasonable person, the standard, would be scared out of her wits. Though arrested by the Officer, this is not the final word. The DA will have to get hold of it, and a Grand Jury. This will get No Billed by a Grand Jury. If it got that far, no Jury in the country would convict. IMO.

IN! Call me crazy, but I'd like to see a little more pizzazz. Regardless, take my money.

I'm not that smart on this but I have shot an M14 at 1000 yd sand while it was hitting the target, it was not accurate. I thought it was because the limits of the caliber were passed. Most folks were shooting a 300 win mag for 1k yds. Of course I could be wrong and I'm sure someone smarter will chime in. I would recommend an M1A modern day clone of the M14 for the sheer awesomeness of what it is and if necessary go with a bigger caliber on your build to meet your needs.

    To be fair, theres a world of difference between the average cop, and the average 67 year old lady. 

  If a cop, for whatever reason, catches a glimpse of hydrocodone (prescription or not), he isn't going to immediately think "drugs, shoot him!". If a cop, for whatever reason, catches a glimpse of a firearm unsuspectedly, his first reaction could very well be "gun, shoot him!". At minimum most officers would be put at extreme unease at such a situation. I know one thing, with my Wife and myself (and in this particular case two passengers in the back) parked on the side of a highway at 11:00 PM at night at the mercy of the officer, I want the officer to be as cool and calm as possible.   That's why I turned my dome light on, that's why I made sure my hands were clearly on the steering wheel holding my license and permit, and that's why I made sure to be as respectful and polite to the officer as possible. No, I don't keep my license, registration, or proof of insurance in the same compartment as my Glock 26. But to me, ultimately, it comes down to the fact that I have a permit and I believe it certainly will show up to the officer whenever he runs my license or tag. I am not an officer, have never been an officer, and will likely never be an officer, so I do not pretend to know exactly what an officer might think, but it is certainly a possibility that if they see I have a permit on their system yet I in no way acknowledge it to them voluntarily, they may question as to whether or not I am trying to hide anything (legal or not).   The bottom line is, you do whatever you think is best, I'll do what I think is best.

Maybe it was the closest. Maybe he thought he had a lighter I haven't seen a cig lighter in a car in 10 years Maybe she looked like a smoker. [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven't been hunting out there in over 20 years, but I hunted the southwest part.  My godfather lives in Blanca and I have wanted to join him in a hunt at least once more.  My only advice is to make sure to sight your rifle, 30-06 is fine, when you get there.  The altitude will change your POI enough to matter.

Can be used on mil-surp that use corrosive ammo, very good for that and black powder guns. Kind of a do all cleaner and like said can be used on multiple materials. Smell can be strong.

This is the one that got away from me at Blade show, it sold 10 minutes before I asked for it

It's hard for me to talk someone out of a redbud; I always give preference to native species anyway. Twenty years ago we sold as many red maple and sugar maple varieties as we did other deciduous trees. I always thought tupelo trees were deserving of so much more credit than they were given, and I can say the same about bald cypress trees.

Some have trouble in progressive presses with feeding issues.  Try a few hundred before jumping in.

I've been through about 3k of 10k I bought about a year ago. Not a single problem. Small pistol loaded in 9, 40, 38, and 357

Kasey is definitely my kid and lucky to say his cell phone was in the house and mine was in my Jeep but I would have gone in regardless to save her............... :rock:

Wolves are native to Michigan, they then disappeared for a while and came back in the early 2000s. That ruling was overturned in July. http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2015/07/15/michigan-gray-wolf-hunt/30192533/ Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Another happy M&P10 camper here. Aside from the stupid handguards, I don't think you could build a better gun for another $1,000 than they're charging. I'm a righty, but love the fully ambi features of the Smith. I dropped a 3.5lb single stage trigger in it and WHAMMO! awesome rifle.

Just get a faraday bag and keep your phone in it when you don't want to be detected: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Hole-Faraday-Bag-Isolation/dp/B0091WILY0   We use these when we don't want our cell phones accessed when we are running joint operations.  It works on cell phones, GPS receivers and they have larger ones for laptops and tablets.    

Just like the issue with the court clerk in Kentucky denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples, this is BS.  If a sheriff can choose to ignore a law, they can just as easily deny 2nd Amendment rights as protect them.  It's not new for elected and appointed law enforcement officials to deny carry permits, refuse to sign NFA applications, and threaten to ignore court rulings protecting gun rights.  This game of nullification is not a road we want to be going down, even if we agree with the underlying reasoning.   If you want to make the states' rights argument, this question was settled in 1865.

Wolves get really big, I've seen several of them up close.  The 120lb weight sounds about right.  Their bone structure is much larger than a typical dog... a wolf's skull and paws are at least 50% bigger than a typical large dog.  A wolf's fur is also very thick which makes them look bigger than their weight might imply.

Your welcome. Glad to be of service to you young guns. Had fun.

I think you, Comms and I all suffer from novice impulse control!!  :rock: But that might also be what makes us pretty awesome too. You did see the new 20 I got yesterday in preparation for my ammo purchase this Saturday, didn't you? The 21 just somehow tagged along. LOL

I have a CMMG MK3 CBR AR10 for sale for $1600 in the classifieds. You would have another $900 for good glass and a bipod. I ran it out to 800 yards (range limit) in Colorado. I have 2 and needed to pay for some new house stuff. I'd be happy to let ya take a look at it on Saturday when y'all get that ammo. Juuuuust sayin! I did the build thing on my 300 blk...it got over budget quick. But then again, my impulse control is novice level. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Look up a Mk11/SASS build. Clone it - dont but one. Since its Delta Force Navy SEAL tacticool it calls for crazy prices. Think PSA is doing an AR10 build kit sale - Id buy that then throw an XLR Lite stock on it and a Noveske or Lilja barrel. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

We have a great looking Japanese Maple in our front yard. Pretty colors and grows low and spread out but not very big.

Unless you're a fan of yellow jackets, you might not want an apple tree that close to your house.   How 'bout a dogwood?

If switching to something from something could possibly be putting money in the pocket of buddies, couldn't sticking with something for 20 years also be putting money in the pocket of buddies? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On the FBI switch? My take is that the FBI report specifies, in outrageous detail, exactly why they are switching. It's well rationalized, logical, and is something private sector trainers have known for 10+ years. Conspiracy theory? I suppose that if someone truly believes that switching calibers after 20+ years is some sort of payola scheme, there's noting logical to be said to convince them otherwise.

Am I the only one who sees the irony of folks opining about this who aren't Benefactors, when method of becoming a Benefactor is subject of thread? Especially the mostly pro-PayPal ones to boot?   - OS

I was a cop in the late 70’s early 80’s. The most common vest was a Second Chance. It would stop a 9mm back then.

I'll be damned if I'll turn and run on my own property. There wouldn't have been a warning shot though. You have a club in your hand and threaten me I'm shooting your ass. I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Sent from behind the anvil
