The wife and I voted yesterday.  Cruz supporters here as well.  But I will say it until I am blue in the face.  In the primary you vote with your heart.  In the general you vote with your head.  The "my guy didn't get picked so I'm going to take my ball and go home" mindset will deliver the whitehouse to Hillary or Sanders and then its just a few short years until gun rights are practically a thing of the past once they get their SCOTUS nominations in place.

Must watch! :) https://youtu.be/46ry-X2CoJk

We would start talking about our candidate but after an hour, it would become a discussion of guns then a swap meet. :cool:

Hopefully it won't happen because the car door is locked?

Anyone ever consider that maybe Trump is in the race to split the votes between him and the republican nominee. He has said he will run as an independent, which hurts us more than Hillary, if he does not get the nomination. That alone tells me he is not loyal to anyone and will only go the direction that best suites him. Also, I find it really hard to believe a native born New Yorker can have an ounce of conservative in him. Look at those he socializes with to see where his true colors are. People socialize with like minded people.   I can tell you I am voting for Cruz and I will not vote for Trump. How many candidates have you seen shooting? Shooting machine guns? Cooking bacon on the barrels of "assault weapons? That's right, none. He is a Constitutional lawyer that has fought for gun rights. He was heavily involved in the Heller case. He is still fighting for us so for that reason alone I will vote for him. He also wants to abolish the IRS and our current tax system. He wants to fix the immigration system without giving them amnesty.   There are a lot more reasons to like Cruz than things that are wrong. I was critical of him the last time I spoke of him. Now I see and now I want Cruz to be president. He has a long history of supporting the Constitution.   If nothing else just read an unbiased history of what all he has done in his life. If there is one candidate that is for the people it is Cruz.

Everybody talking about Richonne and I'm thinking " hey Daryl picked up a Speed Six somewhere, nice score"

I have owned an M&P40 and sold it. Bought the Glock 23 as a replacement then picked up a G26 later as I was used to shooting 9mm out of the M&P40. I've been looking for a full size 9mm in other brands just because I there are other nice choices. Pick up a FN FNS9 with the 4" barrel. It's almost the exact size as a G19 and smaller than the G17 that was in the running when I was looking around. Came with 3-17 round magazines, papers, lock. The box is nice also, for a box I suppose. Interesting build date on this one. Almost new old stock at 3/11/14 test fire. Feels like the M&P trigger. Range time is TBD. Empty weight is good too, haven't loaded a full mag yet as tinkering time is limited. Holster hunting to come later. Might have to have one made as there are not too many out there that catch my eye.

http://parallax-tactical.theshoppad.com/#/product/pxt-gen2-m-16-tin-titanium-nitrite-complete-bcg You can get a TiN coated BCG for $199 You'd be much better off just buying one and just keeping the original as a spare.

And one more thing, this is the most important election in our children's lifetimes. The justices appointed during this presidency will make up the majority. Do we want to take a chance on Trump nominating someone who is against the Second Amendment or the Constitution. The SCOTUS is unbalanced now and with a nominee from Hillary or Trump it could mean the end of our gun rights. And for a glimpse of how that is look at England and Australia. In England you can go to prison for shooting someone who is trying to kill you and Australia is similar. We cannot afford to loose a single seat on the Court, at least not if we want to be able to defend ourselves.   We live in very dangerous times, all you have to do is look at what is happening across the globe to see this country is the last bastion of freedom and that will be a thing of the past if Hillary gets elected.   Please lets not take a chance on Trump and vote for the only nominee who believes in the power of the Constitution.

:stare: Just makes no sense to me.  Most will acknowledge that these signs mean nothing to those that are willing to break the law, why target the law abiding?  I thought laws were there to prevent crime, not make criminals. 

Why would Jesus say they probably don't even have any ammo? You can clearly see the JHPs in the chambers on those revolvers pointed at his face.

  Well, if that wasn't the end of the story, those two deputies need to be strung up.

  Easy, he's a long lost descendant of Houdini ...           Because they don't keep babies in jail, just bad guys who break out and escape almost as often as the bad guys on the old "24" series ...     BTW, I want to know what type of batteries are in all these cars they keep firing up, obviously I'm buying the wrong brands ...

You are probably making a good choice.     As an alternative to your Troy sights, you can always look a canted sights like the XS Threat Interdiction series.

  That is exactly how Trump is seemingly going to get the nomination. He doesn't have the majority vote, only the plurality. As long as Cruz and Rubio are both in and splitting the actual majority, Trump wins the primaries.   - OS

What's on the other side, it seems quite interested.

Well, back on January 2nd, I... http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/93558-why-dont-all-sight-manufacturers-understand-this/?hl=%2Bhonor+%2Bguard

I heard on the news a while ago that Bobby was being moved to a Hospice facility which more or less means the doctors have given up on him. I can say this for sure Bobby is and always will be 1000 times more of a man than that POS that attacked him is or ever will be.   Bobby and his family will be in my PRAYERS

LOL! This is sage wisdom. Lucky for me, I do have a rescue that I am working with. The thing is, she's a woman in her 50's who's winding down in the world of rescue, so she doesn't foster anymore. She has funds, but a lot of it comes from her and her husband. This all started with that dang Coon Hound Daisy! It was rewarding. The ones we have now, totally not planned to have that many at once. But see, this area is NOTHING like Nashville when it comes to pets. Here, they're disposable or currency. I've driven by a lot of dogs because I know I can't help them all. But these 5, they were just babes. Young, starving in some cases and treated badly. So I stepped up. I took on more than what I should have and more than what the rescue could help with and so it comes down to me. Ultimately, there have been amazing people to help us. I am beyond shocked, proud and inspired. But these 5 are my focus right now. I actually just did vaccines. With a needle. That's something I NEVER thought I'd be able to do. When this is said and done and these 5 have a home, I will continue to do this. But it will be 1 or 2 at a time. Not 5. Trust me, I totally 1,000% realize how crazy I look. ;)

  If you aren't already, you are going to have to get plugged into a network of folks who rescue dogs.  You can't save them all; others will have to participate.   And I'm sure your Dutch Shepherd friend would probably echo this... sooner or later you're also probably going to have to narrow in on a breed.  It's far easier to place dogs with the right homes if you focus on one breed, their traits, needs, etc. and become known as a go-to person for that.   Right now ... and I'm being completely honest ... I am afraid you are on the road to becoming the owner of a lot of random dogs.   :)

Just keep working on the accuracy.  Once you start getting "most accurate" at the matches, start increasing the speed.

It came from a poem written by Jeff Coopers granddaughter.   "Grandpa's Lesson." Pappy took to drinkin' back when I was barely three. Ma got pretty quiet. She was frettin', you could see. So I was sent to Grandpa and he raised me up real good. He taught me what I oughta and he taught me what I should. I learned a heap 'o lessons from the yarns he liked to tell. There's one I won't forget because I learned it 'speshly well. There jist ain't many folk who live a peaceful, carefree life. Along with all the good times there'll be lotsa grief and strife. But there ain't many troubles that a man caint fix With seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six." Grandpa courted Grandma near the town of old Cheyenne. Her daddy was cantankerous - a very greedy man. He wouldn't give permission for a fancy wedding day 'Til grandpa paid a dowry - biggest ever people say. Her daddy softened up when Grandpa said that he could fix Him up with seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six. Grandpa herded cattle down around Jalisco way. Ended up behind some iron bars one dusty day. Seems the local jefe craved my Grandpa's pinto mare. Grandpa wouldn't sell her so he lit on out of there. Didn't take much doin' 'cept a couple special tricks Plus seven hundred dollars and his thirty ought six. Then there was that Faro game near San Francisco Bay. Grandpa's cards was smokin' hot and he took all one day. He woke up nearly naked in a ditch next early morn'. With nothin' but his flannel shirt, and it was ripped and torn. Those others were professionals and they don't play for kicks. He lost seven hundred dollars and his thirty ought six. He begged some woolen trousers off the local storekeep there Who loaned him both a pony and a rifle on a dare. He caught those thievin' cardsharks at another Faro game. He got back all his property and also his good name. He left one bleedin' badly and another mostly lame. My Grandpa's trusty rifle shoots just where you choose to aim. Grandpa's slowin' down a bit and just the other night He handed me his rifle and a box sealed up real tight. He fixed me with them pale grey eyes and this is what he said, "You're awful young but steady too and I will soon be dead. I'll bet this here old rifle and this honest money too Will come in mighty handy just as readily for you. There jist ain't many folk who lead a carefree peaceful life. Along with times of happiness, there's always woe and strife. But.....ain't many troubles that a man caint fix with seven hundred dollars and his thirty ought six." Lindy Cooper Wisdom

Something you may not realize is that having a scope actually built by Leupold might be better as well as cheaper. There was a thread on another forum a few years back where a guy was about to buy their shotgun scope then have the reticle swapped to an actual BDC reticle that matched his accurate load. It was nearly identical to another ready made scope Leupold had but the custom one was a few hundred cheaper.   Most BDC reticles do not match most loads. You might get really, really lucky and have your accurate load be the one used to calibrate the stadia lines but in most cases they do not match at all.   When you are dialing a lot you want a better quality scope. The cheaper ones use cheaper materials and the clicks become mushy over time. If it is going to be zeroed and stay that way for long periods the cheaper ones will work fine. Also, the cheaper ones might settle into their zero by shifting a little as it is getting shot.

A corollary, from Captain's Journal, via Sipsey Street:   “There aren’t too many human interaction problems that can’t be fixed with a .45 ACP 230-grain fat-boy.” -- Herschel Smith.

  Or cars or baseball bats or...  How far can the list go?   Although I do feel for them, I doubt the plaintiffs' loss and pain, is a consideration at all.  They are just being used to advance someone else's agenda... and to give a bunch of lawyers a huge payday if they can pull this off.   

I completely agree we don't want them out of control.  I just don't think there is any proof yet they are out of control.  I think our current regulations seem to have things pretty balanced.  If a time comes things do get out of balance, I am all for options to put them in balance.  We can hunt them all year now so I don't see night hunting being the magic answer is all.

Both of my vehicles lock the doors automatically. What I don't like about the Caddy is that when you put the car in park it automatically unlocks the doors too.

Had a rather unsavory appearing youth attempt to open my door on NYE about 3 am.  I reached for the pistol, he would have gotten it had he pressed the matter.  Keep your doors locked folks.

Are you running the factory recoil spring? I ask because most 18lb springs will be difficult to overcome if try to seat the mag and drive the slide forward...on my single stack a 13 lb spring allows the momentum of the mag to overcome the slide stop letting the slide go into battery on mag change. Also could potentially need more shooting to break in. My go to IDPA gun took about 3k rounds before it began to reliably go into battery on mag change.

My job has me on the road everyday dealing with a-holes behind the wheel. Not once has it ever crossed my mind to stop one of them and give them what for. What the hell are people thinking these days ???

if someone i don't know opens my car door without my approval they will get one in the chest. Not sure of the specifics of law, but I assume if it happens they don't mean to shake my hand.

Another vote for the Vickers sling https://www.blueforcegear.com/vickers-sling   If I am reading the post right, you may be unsure how to connect a sling to the rifle? If MOE handguards you need the sling attachment. https://www.magpul.com/products/msa-moe-sling-attachment and the stock attachment will vary depending upon the exact stock but if it is the MOE stock you can run the sling through the stock or use an IWC QD mount http://www.impactweaponscomponents.com/product/qd-rotation-limited-buttstock-sling-mount-n-slot/

So it sounds like the prevailing opinion is the common sense one--that you shouldn't be charged as violating the sign law if you were unconscious.     However, the actual law does not have that wording, and technically you could still be charged, and that is just one of the many problems with signs carrying the weight of law.  It would fall under enforcement discretion, which is OK for most people, but could be used to harass a person when nothing else is available.  Hopefully any unconscious gun toter who enters a hospital won't encounter a bad apple LEO.   Using the trespassing statute is better because it would require some type of personal notification, which would necessitate consciousness in order to comply or not. 

Well I think this will be my final update for The Blacklist Pups. I feel like I have harassed you all enough. If you want, you can click on the link for the YouCaring page and subscribe to my updates there. I just wanted to share the girl we found wandering down the road yesterday. She has no name yet but I am leaving towards Mascha. This is her terrified and stressed after I ran to her in the road, put a leash around her neck and put her in the back of the truck. She is HUGE. Her feet fill the palm of my hand and her legs are like baby tree trunks. It is amazing. This is the dirty birdie once we finally got her home and into a room where she could be secluded until I get her to the vet tomorrow. I need to make sure she is fully healthy before I do anything else. I can't risk anything else happening to the pups. Finally here she is washed and ready to be blow dried. I think she has some Newfie in her. Her coat is super long and fluffy. Luckily, I think she is around 12-14 weeks old. Which means I can get her hopefully spayed around the same time as Ressler. Who we finally have interest in from a family. They've asked a lot of the important questions so now we are just waiting to get an application back to move forward if they are really interested. I want to thank all of you who have been so generous to donate. Without your help, I don't even know where we would be. I am going to talk to my doctor about getting scanned for the puppy magnet so we can get it removed. LOL For one last time I am going to do this as well. Below is the link to the YouCaring page where you can sign up for all future updates on the puppies. It is where I load all receipts from what I have spent as well as photos of the pups. It is where you can donate or use links to share our story as well, which is always appreciated. https://www.youcaring.com/coop-liz-ressler-and-red-516225 Lastly, a link to our Amazon Wish List. This is basically to help with Food (Dry and Wet) and Puppy pads. They are all Amazon Prime options which means free shipping if you are a prime member but it will come straight to our house once you select Wish List Recipient. https://amzn.com/w/1T8GYU8KCI9XU Once again, thank you for EVERYTHING you have done to help from donations to sharing. Monkey and I appreciate it more then we can ever tell you and again, like I said, for the sake of transparency all receipts are loaded into the you caring. I do have a few I need to add from recent food and puppy pad shopping trips.

Indoor ranges are horrible. I will not return to one if I can avoid it.

The cases were roughly half full, so I don't believe there would have been a problem; but I finally decided I did not want to take a chance.  I was hoping someone else had done the same thing with this powder and could share their experience, but since no one had, I just went ahead and pulled them.  I had several other bad cartridges that needed to be pulled as well, so I just bit the bullet, spent and hour or so, and pulled them all.  I hate pulling bullets worse than just about anything, but in the end it was better safe than sorry.  

I was about to join a local indoor range a few years back. While the paperwork was being done for my wife and I, I walked over and looked out on the range where a couple of people were shooting. They had the place setup so that the brass would almost always go forward onto the range which was inaccessible. The guy said we were ready to sign the application and as I walked back to the counter I asked about the brass being thrown outwards so it couldn't be retrieved. He said "yeah, we keep all of the brass. We have a couple of places that buy it from us. I tore the application in two and said that was a deal breaker for me and we left. I haven't been back to that place for anything.

This thread is about The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead is a comic book as well as a television show. In fact, without the comic the show wouldn't exist. So, to me, discussing the comic as it relates to the show is valid. I do try and alert people when I am going to mention a possible spoiler but don't always remember to do so. I will not, however, promise to refrain from discussing it.

Lives in TN, shoots, likes bourbon. Yep you've found the right place!   Welcome!  :cheers:

Generally your slower powders do not tolerate reduction. h110/296 gets squirrely when under charged. Some powders will get you a SEE condition. Secondary Explosive Effect. When that happens, you get some real nice kabooms usually with some nice shrapnel from what was left of your gun. I'm not familiar enough with #9 to give you an honest recommendation. Sorry. At the end of the day though, 75 rounds ain't near as valuable as your gun or your hands and face, so........

Unless you're voting for Carson, I think it's OK to vote early. ;)

I like the excitement of election day myself and wearing my little "I Voted Today" sticker proudly until I change clothes as few weeks later.   You know, it sure would be interesting to know the early election numbers for each candidate.Why do you suppose under law it's kept secret until the final tally? Would it not be more beneficial for all involved to know the standings? Poll's can be notoriously inaccurate and misleading as you all know. 

It's tough to photograph, but with the magazine in the FN is only a 1/2" taller and same with the beaver tail. You would have to get caliper out to find the small differences everywhere else. G23(G19 size) is on top of course.

Maybe you weren't picking it up right....or worse.  Next time ask him if he likes what he sees.

  I'm not sure. That is the 3rd time I have actually ever fished Tim's. I put in at the bridge on Awalt road and fished around that area. I caught a bunch of whites too. 

I've been in the market for my first one for the past couple months.  Finally won an auction on Gunbroker yesterday for a G2 Contenden super 14 in 7-30 waters.  Excited about getting it and looking for all the info I can get on the cartridge.  Oh and it also has a Ultra red dot sight on it.  Don't think the ammo is going to be on the shelf at many of the big box sporting good stores though so I ordered some dies.
