That all those guns came home with me? Today it was 3 puppies! What in the world is going on here? I feel like I need to trade my vehicle in or something. Just kidding, with the success we had with getting Daisy and rehoming her to an excellent home with the help of a rescue I have decided this is something I am going to heavily pursue with my time. I actually have a foster coming tomorrow as well so that will be our dogs and 4 rescues. We had a major loss in our house 2.5 weeks ago and we lost both of our female dogs at the same time. While that tragedy cannot be changed, it has inspired me a lot. Today I transported a Great Pyrenees from Monterey to Cookeville and along the way I ended up with 1 8 week old mix breed and 2 pups that are only 4 weeks. I essentially did not have a choice in the matter, I had to step in and fix stupid. Just a heads up Nashvillians, if you are in the market for new puppies, Big Fluffy Dog Rescue will soon have 6 black border collies and 2 really adorable mix breed white pups that look like a Bernie/GP mix. I met all 8 today and they are ridiculously cute. If you are looking for a new pup or family dog, always feel free to reach out, I will be happy to help.

I can appreciate his issue.  I also find it frustrating when someone posts something for sale and you get no response (albeit, I can't say I have had that issue on TGO).  Even it if is already sold, a simple "sorry, it is sold" response is nice.  I always try to respond to every PM or email until I can get it marked a SPF.

Everyone should own at least one M1 Carbine.

We will be hosting our weekly IDPA match Wednesday 2/3/16. Stages are set and looks to be challenging but fun!   Range located at 526 West Main St Gallatin Tn, 37066   Doors open at 5pm, Shooters meeting at 6pm, wrap up around 9pm.   New, safe shooters always welcome.   See everyone Wednesday!

This is made from 5/32" 1095 carbon steel professionally heat treated to a RC of 59-61. OAL is 9 1/2" with a blade length of about 4 3/4". It has thumb jimping and is double acid etched and has very thin red G10 liners with Andiroba (African mahogany) and African Blackwood scales with mosaic pins. It's headed to a new home in Nashville.

I'm just explaining the southern way to do it. Sweet cornbread is a yankee abomination.

The CMP began accepting mail orders for M1 carbines today. They have not been available for mail order in many years. This batch probably won't last long, so get them while you can. They also said that they will have a small number available in the South and North stores beginning this Thursday, but I'll be surprised if they last through the weekend. The prices ($685 for service grade and $625 for field grade) are also much lower than the prices have been at the South store when a few have occasionally appeared in the racks.

New rimfire benchrest opportunity in middle Tennessee.     If anyone is interested in a weekday match, we can have one at Strategic Edge.   Strategic Edge is primarily a long range(1250yds) and handgun range.   But, they've just added more benches and 50 yard target frames for us rimfire folk.   Tony has given me permission to set up a weekday match to see if there is much interest in rimfire benchrest.   To begin, we could temporarily use ARA's targets (because I have a hundred) and scoring.   But, if sufficient people are interested we can choose a match format and organize.   If you are interested, PM me.  If you have general questions, post them here and I'll answer as best I can.   Strategic Edge is a beautiful range near Chapel Hill, Tn.  Takes me about 55 minutes from Mount Juliet.     Regis    

Luke, shooting entails having an explosion going off mere inches from your face. It's a completely unnatural event, especially when you're causing it to happen. I've been shooting for years and I still sometimes flinch. During hunting season I was watching a deer for several minutes just waiting for him to present a good shot. I pulled the trigger and noticed the flinch to end all flinches. Luckily I had forgotten to switch off the safety, so I was able to disable the safety, calm down, and get a good, clean shot.   So don't worry about a little flinching. It happens to the best of us. And me too. ;)

I think he is bummed that some one didn't respond to his pm about something for sale. Sent from my LGLS740 using Tapatalk

Hooters sells hot wings???????????? :hiding:

  Pure and simple truth.

If everyone would ask how much each visit or procedure cost, every single time, maybe things would change. Instead, many people are complacent because "insurance will cover it." Medical professionals get uncomfortable talking about money because then they might have to defend the value of their services. If everyone had to pay the exact cost of care each visit, the I think the costs would drop substantially. If the doctor had to look a parent in the eye and say, "I can't fix your child unless you give me X dollars," they would quickly learn what people are willing and able to pay. It only takes a few people saying you are a greedy, money hungry jerk who doesn't care about children before it takes a toll.

Disdain for .40 comes from listening to myriads of felchers saying it was great because "the cops use it" and then shooting a 10mm side by side with it and seeing the look on the .40 owners face. A disdain for "looking at boobs" comes from my (antiquated, but relevent) ideas on fidelity and that I wont give into the baseless carnality of flesh regardless if it takes the form of a girl that doesnt mind being eyeballed by perverts and creepy old men for the chance of a paltry denarius. America and the idea of a nuclear family has in part been whittled away at, and debased due to our sex culture. Where youre not pretty if you are not strutting your stuff, youre not a man if you dont grope and eyefuck every chick that walks around. It lowers inhibitions which leads to fornicators and alduterers...and it also incites the devious amongst us. Little Timmy learns at 7 that its accepted to say snide remarks and grope at Laura the College Girl and hooters then add in more baseless and wordly shite that is fed to the tech zombies of the 21st century and there is more of a chance he will become a serial rapist. Then you have the feminazis telling girls they need to embrace their sexuality and strut their stuff and sleep with whomever, that all men are pigs which destroys the idea of a family. We have all contributed to lowering the bar. It is okay because we are socially conditioned to think so. This has been going on since the 30s and it is getting worse. The Romans distracted everyone with sex and fetish, fancy toys and intrigue, great works and wars...and look at them. Having a daugther has intensified my hatred for this rampant sex culture that has been shoved down our throats in a hope to distract us from the slow attrition that will destroy us all. Once the bar begins to lower, we all bear the burden and pay the price. I think we all deserve to be caned Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

You want sweet cornbread? Pour molasses over it. Don't cook sugar in it.

Looks nice. I just don't think I want that hanging on my truck. They say you have to know your audience--I know mine and there will be no outward sign of gun ownership on my truck. Rarely is there a gun in the truck that's not on my person. I just don't want someone knocking out my window to check.

I want this to happen really bad. That's how I know it's a pipe dream and a joke and will never happen.

Oh no, where else am I gonna spend $600 on a used Glock?

I went to the Green Hills theater today to watch Sicario(which was awesome), and I saw staff wanding people looking for weapons before a special viewing. I was disturbed by this and spoke to a cop there. I asked him where the signage was banning weapons from the premises? I looked everywhere and not a one sign in sight. The manager said, "I think we have one somewhere...." Yeah, that wand is gonna do a lot of good when a psycho goes out the unguarded exit door in the theater and gets weapons. Rolling my eyes at that.. The cop didn't know dick about proper signs or anything like that. I don't think he fully understood anything. I'm preaching to the choir here, but I was annoyed by it all. Just had to get it off my chest.

THIS WILL BE MY MOST VALUABLE FIXED BLADE KNIFE I WILL EVER OWN. I asked if we could show the progress of the manufacture process and he agreed. Get ready for a slow but very concise view of a custom high quality knife in progress from stage one. The steel : The Template : The Trace : The Rough Cut Out : MORE TO COME .......... :cheers:

Thanks leroy. I'm going to go ahead and order some Underwood. Guess I should also get a barrel to shoot the hard cast loads. I like the Big Dot sights too. I have the Ameriglo Pro i-dot on my 17. I like them, but I might give the TFOs a shot. Do you have the factory recoil spring in yours?

Too pretty to use.

Wing... I got his brother plus a gen 3... The gen 3 has "Big Dot's" on it... i really like them... Order ya some Underwood ammo... I like the 180 to 200 grain stuff....   leroy

With the exception of a very nice condition gen 1 model 17, I would dremel any Glock I bought with reckless abandon. The important points to consider for a dremel host to me are A. Don't pay more than 425 for one B. Keep it forever.

In case anyone is interested in going down the same path I thought I would show pics of my G40 with a Burris FastFire 3 mounted using plate # 5 of set 2 provided by Glock. I used the screws provided by Glock to mount their adapter plate, along with some threadlocker 222. I had read in some other posts that neither the screws provided with the Burris or by Glock would be suitable for mounting the optic. The other post recommended screws from a company named Traxx and gave the following link to Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006O5IBQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 I ordered them and applied some more 271 and it was a perfect fit. Finding sights to act as a backup was a harder job. I had read a post that stated that the Dawson sights would work. I tried them but they were too short. Someone suggested calling Glock which sounded reasonable. They were no help and I would have expected that having provided a means to mount an optic they would have gave more thought to this aspect. They suggested calling Dawson or Ameriglo. Since I had already tried Dawson that left Ameriglo. As a side note I also ordered sights from Saurez but they canceled my order and said they were out of stock. I called Ameriglo and ordered GST-407 for the front, which is .407 inches tall, and GLT-507 for the rear. http://ameriglo.com/collections/glock/products/glock-steel-thin-serrated-fronts?variant=7556138689 http://ameriglo.com/collections/glock/products/glock-tall-steel-rears?variant=7554840257 I ordered the holster from Simply Rugged Holsters and specified that it would have a red dot and tall sights. It fits like a glove.

Here's the guy who did Dad's knees....  http://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-william-matthews-x2plq

If you're in the Vanderbilt area, let me personally recommend dr. Gregory Polkowski. I think he only does hip/knees, he's done two major ones on me and I couldn't be happier. The nurses in the ortho section of the hospital say his patients normally recover quicker than from the other docs. If you go shopping around, put him in the pool of candidates.

Also... anything you can do to improve the flexibility and particularly strength of the muscles will help with recovery.  After a few therapy sessions, Dad made the comment that he had no idea how weak he'd gotten from not bending his knees much.  And for reference, he'll be 70 in a couple months.  I'm sure age has a big impact on recovery time.    I remember that knee bender doodad.  Funniest thing was watching Mom try to help Dad with his exercises.  They fussed like an old married couple...  :D

  I agree with your comments about Hooters for the same reasons.  In short, women deserve better than being objectified.

  As a follow up, physical therapy is painful, but it gets better after each session. Along with the therapy I was set up at home with a mechanical device that you strap your leg into and it progressively bends your knee over time increasing flexibility. It's a boring process, two 45 minute sessions a day, so invest in Netflix. Given the pain I was in prior to surgery, I would not hesitate to have them replaced again. It is great not to be in pain with every step.

Dad is almost at the 1 yr mark from having his 2nd total knee, had the 1st one done the year before that.  A few things I've learned...   Incidence of stroke increases dramatically if both knees are done at the same time.  They don't have a good reason why, but it does.   It hurts.  A lot.  They load you up with the good pain meds during surgery and it takes about 24 hrs for them to fully wear off.  So day 1 isn't too bad.  Day 2, on the other hand... :eek:   Dad did not have full anesthesia for either knee, epidural only.  I think that got him out of the hospital at least 24 hrs faster than he otherwise would have.  He was home within 24hrs for the 2nd one.    The swelling takes a long time to go away.  He still has some swelling 10 months later in the 2nd knee.   Flexibility is difficult to improve, especially if you don't have much now.  He was walking without the walker after a couple weeks.  He used a cane for a while after that.  Dad still does the "old man with bad knees waddle".  I'm not sure if it's because he just doesn't have the flexibility, or it hurts, or it's how he walked for the prior 3 years so it's just normal to him.    Dad got a gizmo similar to this from my sister who's also had a couple knee surgeries.  While somewhat annoyingly loud, the not having to mess with ice packs is worth it.  Dad's half deaf so he didn't care about the noise.

Not exactly an A2 but a real deal 20", 1-12" twist pencil barrel.

I had to work all weekend! FUN!

  It's all fun and games until jade helm changes the weather pattern.

Hooters causes 1) males to objectify females as sexual props 2) the worst buffalo wings on the planet 3) more fuel for the feminazi agenda 4) places for creepy old men and teenagers to gather 5) pressures females to dress like hobags 6) adds more sexuality to the American food industry that wasnt needed 7) I dont like the color orange Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Christie would be worse than sanders for this country.   We know what sanders is going to do.   Christie will do whatever he thinks will earn the most votes but he is a liberal through and through and will betray the conservatives that voted for him if he were to win the nomination.

  Hey, at least I go up and down the line and give a warning​, if you don't heed that warning, its your bad...LOL

Listen to more metal. Loudly. Soon you'll begin to think a volley of fire is just the applause of some far off admirers. Works for me, anyways. :-)

Police speeding.   Using a cell phone in a theater.   Using a cell phone while driving.   Having more than 10 items in the express lane.   Taking up more than one parking space.   Hunting from someone else's deer stand.   Flying a drone over someone else's property without permission.   Visible underwear in public.   Agreeing to do something and not following through.   Putting sugar in cornbread.   Having a dremel tool near a quality firearm.   Spitting out used chewing gum where people walk.

If you're getting the PEPR fixed mount, it's just fine. If you want QD, I would step up to American Defense. I have a PEPR QD and I just don't care for the levers. I see zero shift when I remove and remount the PEPR that I don't get with my ADM mounts.

  I can't stand the majority of cRap and generally don't consider it to be music (talking over an electronic beat box and "sampling" music that someone who has actual talent created is not music) nor do I consider cRappers to be singers - they are performers.  That said, there were gangs aplenty in this country - including street gangs - long before cRap became a recognized sub-genre and certainly before 'Gangsta cRap' came into existence.  'Gangsta cRap' is a result of the 'thug life', not a cause.  Does it glorify that life?  Sure but I don't think it can be said to be the reason inner city kids get into gangs.  Inner city kids don't need to look to Gangsta cRap to see examples of violence, thuggish activity and evidence that crime damn sure does pay - they need only look out their windows.  Think of it this way - the people who more or less created the Gangsta cRap sub-sub-genre grew up around gangs like the Crips and the Bloods.  As part of a documentary on gangs, I saw an interview with Ice-T - one of the original creators of Gangsta cRap (and, oddly, one of the few who has done at least some Gangsta cRap that I can stand listening to) says that he was never a member of the Crips but that he grew up around them and talks about knowing 'Tookie' Williams, one of the Crips' early leaders.   He talks about being a kid and looking up to Tookie who was just a few years older than Ice-T. The Crips and other, such gangs were founded in the 1960s and came partially out of the Black Panther movement, meaning that such gangs were already well established before Gangsta cRap came about in the 1980s.   I do think that Gangsta cRap likely plays a role in the spread of such attitudes but not among the inner city black kids you mentioned.  Instead, I think it has an influence on wanna-be suburban kids - especially suburban white kids who want to play at being ganstas. 

I was in FL last July, no worries, I pocket carry a small "get off me pistol". Keep your nose clean, head on a swivel, act like you have been there done that.

Nice! I really like those, it is a big gun for sure
