Knives are on their way to me, I should have them Saturday evening, you all will have them next week!

If you could get to them without tools and removing all kinds of shrouding! I long for the old days of cars that had a distributor and a coil...

I would've just pulled the plug wires...

Quit worrying about it. Almost no one does anything that they say they will do any more. Especially a bunch of sissy liberals.

When I safety check a weapon and show the person it's empty, and they still check it when it's in their hands, I smile and feel better. Glad it turned out without a bad ending and thanks for sharing. None of us can ever be too careful.

Just wanted to share my Sig P220 Elite. So far it's seen 1400 hiccup free rounds and is dead on accurate. I barely have to do anything to get rounds on target.

I am slowly getting better, 40 days left before I can start to get back to normal. Well as my surgical sight pain has started to subside I am starting to realize I am sore in other places. Probably just got manhandled but my right shoulder is hurting pretty bad but no where near as bad as the 2-3 ribs that are sore. The boney "wing" on my hip and my right knee are noticeable as well. The ribs are noticeably swollen. Matter of fact the ribs and shoulder are more bothersome than the surgery now. I slept on a chaise lounge last night and it helped me a lot. Before last night I have had less then four hours of sleep since Sunday. Last night I got four then another four this morning. I really appreciate those of you who have reached out with advice and encouraging words. It is helping me a lot.

“I support the ban on assault weapons and I support slightly longer waiting periods to purchase a gun,” said Donald Trump in 2000 in his book, The America We Deserve. I find it humorous that a whole lot of people were screaming and foaming at the mouth over states' rights when we were talking about Obamacare or gay marriage, but they're downright eager to throw those rights away for concealed carry. Sure, let's have the federal government manage the carry process! Do you really think that suddenly states like California and Illinois are going to adopt Tennessee style gun laws? No. There will be some compromise, which means people on free states having the places they can carry, maybe even real gun registration forced on them so that the folks in anti gun states can carry. While I feel bad for folks in Maryland and DC, I'm not willing to give up any of my rights for them. They made their beds, let them figure out how to fix it.

They are full of crap.....as usual. For the life of me I don't know why they are given air time for their nonsense. I feel sorry for the people that actually pay attention to them.

All right I owe a apology Did nothing but rested on Sunday Monday truck broke down worked on it till 9pm Tuesday was my Brides Birthday so she took Priority over all of you !  I worked till 9pm tonight came home ate dinner hot tub and did the scores. I appreciate you keeping score for your group when you could have been pasting targets like everyone else and thanks for interrupting during scoring targets to update your nook.

  Okay that did it for me, i'm voting for Trump.  :clap:   Of course they're lying sacks of feces.

My 40th birthday is tomorrow. If 220 of you were to donate just one dollar, I could have myself a wonderful birthday present. [emoji6]

But nobody threatens to go to Mexico.

  If I am able to implement such a feature, the button will look like a block of cheese.  :)

  As far as allowing military personnel to carry on base, etc. I wonder how much he could do as 'Commander in Chief' that would not have to have Congressional approval.  Would be fitting if he went the Obama route to reverse a lot of anti-gun crap.   Along those same lines, he could veto any new anti gun rights legislation that comes to his desk and instruct the agencies that fall under the Executive branch to 'enforce existing rules and do not create any new ones.'  Keeping the ATF from coming up with any new rules could be huge in itself.  Even better if he could order them to pare down and streamline existing rules.

 Just got this forward and it checks out true. Ya gotta love that 45ACP !    http://worldwarwings.com/bailed-out-and-shot-at-this-pilot-made-a-historical-kill

I know which one Comms would get... I have a M&P 40 with an Apex trigger and like it. Had it a long time. I'd suggest that you shoot one if you're serious. I do agree with Jonnin that a 1911 in 10mm seems like the best choice to me based on your like for both. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Hmm well, Ill stick to my recommendation then.   If you love the 1911 and the 10mm, combination of the 2 seems like a fit.   The M&P is just going to feel like a popgun after a 10mm.    Again, though, I am assuming you actually want the recoil and blast and all.   If you want something on the tamer side, it might be just the thing.   I was a big noise recoil guy for a long long time,  and still am at heart, so keep that in mind :)

I think you'll love it. Accurate, dependable, and one of the sweeter "fits in your hand" grips of any pistol I've owned. Great price as well!

I sold a couple of Glocks to a member here. Rushed myself and left a round in the chamber of one. Goes to show no matter how long you've been handling firearms, a mistake can be made. I've apologized profusely but no reply. Don't make an idiotic mistake as I did. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Update!  :) Brandon

    Heh... my father-in-law offered me $10k to elope.  I told him he wasn't getting off that cheap. 

  Offer her a grand to elope ...

Well, being an old retired Certified Mechanic I don't recall not opening the hood first thing on any car or truck I was going to work on unless I was plugging a flat tire on the car. Even on an oil change first thing done was rasie the hood period. As for these new fancy Technigological pieces of junk being built today they call cars are killing and maming people just driving down the road with air bags exploding, ignition switches just shutting off and computera taking over the car and not allowing drivers to slow down as the car continues to gain speed and brakes failing to help.  My son was working on one of the pieces of junk a few years back because he is also a certified mechanic when the computer took over and car began to pick up speed. All he did was put the car in neutral and pull hard on emergency brake to stop the vehicle as the motor reveved up till it blew up because the rev limiter in the computer failed because the computer had failed. The average drivers don't know to take it out of gear and pull the cable driven emergency brake. Toyota had to pick up the car from his shop and take it to a dealer that had to fixed the entire car including a new engine.  Shortly there after that model and several others went on manditory re call.    I will continue to own old cars until I am having dirt shoveled in my face with a marble stone for a pillow. I drive a 1997 Jeep Cherokee and that will be the newest vehicle I will ever own.....................jmho 

  I suspect most locals feel the same way.  And don't forget about Bass Pro.  They have two stores in the Memphis Area.  Also have good selection of reload supplies and Ammo.  Also Academy Sports.  They are now stocking a few powders and other reload stuff.  Another to add to your list is Avery Outdoors.  Very large supply of Duck hunting items, bows and accessory's and large collection of reloading supplies.  They do huge internet-mail order business on the Duck and bow items.   Another location is Keith Warner Gunsmith Inc and Gun Shop 6655 Poplar Ave #101 which is corner of Kirby and Poplar.  And the best NFA suppliers and other cool stuff is Accurate Law Enforcement located a couple blocks east of Guns and Ammo on Summer.  They are only open week days.    I haven't been able to go but there is a range and Gun store in Millington by the name of top-brass.  I can't comment on what they have but they do have web site.   Luap

  That is the one part of Trump's stated policy with which I do not agree.  I have said, before, pretty much the same things you have said - a Federal government that mandates carry reciprocity will then be on the field to mandate the rules and requirements that every state must have in place in order for a person to be legal to carry.  To further the driver's license example that so many like to use folks should keep in mind that many of the laws that govern the 'standards' with which cars must comply originated in California.  Do we really want our carry laws originating there, too?  Do we want to be limited to carrying only guns that are 'California legal'?

Yeah, the hood should have been up, would've take 2 seconds to yank a wire. Buy I would have probably been spooked too and not thinking straight.

Welcome to the group and the great state of Tennessee

No one likes to be wrong and get called out (embarrassed). It's a sign of good character if you can be humble admit a mistake and do your best to never repeat it...

It is always remarkable how defensive people can get when you correct an unsafe behavior. N

Same here . I've schooled several relatives and family members on guns and while I'm no expert in tactical manuvers my lecture covering clearing a weapon and never pointing it at someone in jest will remind you of that video of Hitler speaking to the Nazi party :) I tend to go Doyle Hargraves pretty quickly over those type of antics.

I've got a gun and I'm down for a game anytime.

  I try to do this as well.   I embarrassed myself once years ago. I dropped an "unloaded" 629 and found myself looking down the barrel as it fell.   And I could see those shiny slugs looking back at me. I almost wet myself. Really.   Thankfully, nothing happened.

We probably do, but I think most of us have depleted our discretionary funds [emoji22]

they will not leave, they all are just a bunch of hot air.  i say to them and the people that hate it here,,, leave.  not hard to understand, just leave.   i have lived in several different nations over the years, third world, second world, and first world.  i tell you there is no place like home.  we have got it good here.  i can go anywhere in american and drink the tap water and not end up in the e.r. three hours later.  my power stays on 24/7, not out four hours plus each day.   i can walk outside my house and not get shot, kidnap, or blown up.   so to the a$$ hats that don't like it here, just leave.

How old is this deer?   As old as he will ever get  :D

David is the best guy in the world. Honest to a fault and ALWAYS willing to help both by his actions and by offering up his vast amount of knowledge freely. The stuff I have personally witnessed him do for others is more than anyone else I have ever known. We met in my time of need when he bought a gun I was selling. I consider him a good friend and just like he would do anything to help me I would gladly do the same for him.

I am very sorry to hear this. I've never had the opportunity to train with Pat, but he was always kind and helpful with my interweb communications with him.   What a loss.   God Bless Pat. RIP.

It sounds like the new software will be a little more streamlined and intuitive - once we figure it out.  As far as being more like Facebook, Twitter, etc. I wouldn't know the difference there because I don't use Twitbook or similar things.  Still, it sounds like the new software borrows features from those things that will be nice.  Tapatalk?  I don't really care.  The first thing I do whenever I visit any forum of which I am a member on my cellphone or tablet is go to the bottom of the home page and click on 'full version' so that it looks exactly like what I see when I log on with a PC.   Now, since I got that out of the way, I think there was some discussion earlier in the thread about cheese?  So, we'll all be getting free cheese as a reward for being patient through all of this?  Awesome!  Just to throw it out there, I like Manchego.  Asiago is pretty good, too.  Feta is pretty good when I'm in that kind of mood but I'd have to have some Kalamata olives to go with it.  (So, will the new forum have an, "I'm being a smartass," button for people like me?)

Glad no one was injured. A teachable moment for sure. But having the sac to own up to it on here says a lot too. I don't care who you are, you hand me a gun and I clear chamber or check for clear chamber. If that offends you oh well. Better your ego be shattered than me or YOU shot.

  I'm sure that once again some anti-gunner or anti-TGOer has reported us falsely.  I've got to be honest:  I have zero interest in fighting Microsoft's arbitrary, inaccurate, and apparently easily manipulated "Smart Screen" warning every time it bubbles up.  Anyone with any sense will just disable that stupid feature or use a better browser like Google Chrome or Firefox.

  It is absolutely ludicrous to me that a public service official doesn't know the damn difference between a privilege (driving) and a right (self defense.)  I think it is ludicrous that some, such officials seem to believe that they are qualified to determine who should be allowed to be best equipped for self defense and who should not.  I also think it is ludicrous that this guy - who should know better than most - seems to be stupid enough to believe that forcing people to take a test, etc. before being allowed to exercise a right will stop criminals from carrying illegally and doing illegal things with the illegally carried weapons. 

Recover quickly. In the mean time I'm sure the rest of us will benefit from the extra time you will be spending on TGO.

Those classes are to inform the people; the classes are not bound by the letter of the law. Laws generally let you know what you can’t do; not what’s a good idea to do. I am fully aware (as are most here) that I’m not required to hand over my HCP; just like I’m not required to roll down my widows and turn on my dome light at night. I do those things for several reasons; I respect cops, I have been in their shoes, and by showing them that courtesy I reduce the chances of me getting a ticket. Nothing wrong with teaching that in a class.

Being a well rounded individual is gonna be important. I'm a blacksmith, wood worker, logger, ASE mechanic, helicopter mechanic and motorcycle mechanic, and a martial artist. I'm also a draft horse farmer, shooter and I can butcher most game and livestock. The more basic homestead skills you have the better Sent from behind the anvil

Last time I was in my LGS, not only did I compromise my credit card, it was completely molested.
