Every young American should have to watch this.

great news guys! one of my daughters coworkers picked this girl up an hour ago! new permanent home w 2 girls!!! thanks for the responses and kudos!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk, its either this or smoke signals!

A few pics of me doing the hearts and minds thing in 2002 and 2003 when I still had hair and clocked in at a reasonable weight.

Both are made from 1095 and 15N20 steels so yes they will rust but a good wipe down with a coat of oil should prevent that. Both are 3/16" stock. First has Suriname Ironwood scales with mosaic pins. It has a blade length of about 6 3/8" with an OAL of 11 5/8". It has a subtle yet beautiful twist pattern, thumb jimping and nice filework on the spine and a lanyard hole. Next has a blade length of about 6 3/8" and an OAL of 11". It has thumb jimping and file work on the spine with SS pins and Wenge scales. It also has a lanyard hole. The Damascus is bold with this twist pattern.

I am leaning toward a Biltwell HB seat, I like the looks and it seems I can sit where I want without being 'forced' into a position. Here she is this morning after she got here.

Yes. I have many different applications for handguns, so I have many different handguns.

First CZ product I own, I've shot a couple and fell in love. After playing with this at the NRA Show this year, I fell in love with it. It was either this or the Bren 805. I could afford this one. Got it Friday and already dropped a new trigger and shockwave kit on it. Love this thing so far!

For those of you that are Amazon Prime members, July 12th is Prime Day. It's like Amazon's Black Friday sales in July. I picked up several good deals last year. The only bad thing, as I recall, is the deals come all day long, so you kind of have to be near a computer all day long.

You found several good deals last year? Seriously? I'm a HUGE Amazon fan but Prime day was a joke. They got major criticism last year. https://www.buzzfeed.com/kanikateng/the-26-best-responses-to-amazon-prime-day-9wy1?utm_term=.ecJgVolBaE#.kvE4G82JoD ETA: I don't mean to sound like an ass, I'm just genuinely surprised to hear you found some good deals. You're literally the first person I've ever met who had a positive experience. I was very excited for it last year but couldn't believe how disappointing it was.

My 3 ton Harbor Freight jack has lasted through something like 15 yrs of oil changes, brake jobs, starters, ... The trick to making them last is only use them for lifting, jack stands are for holding. I'd guess most any modestly priced jack will be made overseas.

best advice for gear I ever got was, spend as much money on gear as you think that body part is worth.

I am guaranteed the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. No where is it written that my attacker's right s trump my basic three rights.

If someone is about to assault me and possibly kill or harm me or a loved one I will at that point become Judge, Jury and executioner and do everything in my power to protect me and mine from harm..............jmho

Poly, all metal, striker or hammer fired, small, medium or large and do you carry it. Also brand, model and any other info you find helpful. I'll start with mine. I like all metal, hammer fired compact to standard size. I carry all my pistols so they have to perform. Some I really like are RIA 1911 9mm/45 acp. The CZ 75B series. Springfield 1911 in Commander to full size (5"). Kimber Stainless II in 45 acp. Basically I like the way they feel in my hand and they seem to have a natural point of aim and I shoot them fairly well. I also like the mechanics of them. I also like blacked out rear sight and big white dot up front.

Received my trigger today for what I think is my complete build list (minus scope). This will be my first and probably only AR10 so I hope it turns out as good as I think it should. More to come!

We will be holding our monthly USPSA match this weekend in Dickson. I will have five stages including a classifier. Come out and kill some cardboard, knock down some steel and generally have a great time.

Hi.!! We can not have firearms or rifles..only shotguns..we can hunt only with open sights and we can have only 3 shots in the shotgun. We would like to can have rifles and to can use scopes at hunting...

Some companies in the firearms industry will never cease to amaze me. I called RCBS this morning to inquire on a problem with my Rock Chucker and they are sending all the parts to rebuild it at no charge. I have had this press for 20 plus years. Sure would be nice if other industries would adopt this level of customer service.

I know I am late to the party, but I am a bourbon newbie. I bought a bottle of Larceny on the recommendation of this thread, and I must admit it is nice and smooth.

I am on my second Torin Black Jack from Walmart. The first one lasted over a decade of semi-frequent use. I bought my new one about a year ago. I think it was $20?

Wish the rabble still cared enough to be moved by this.

The one you have may just need some hydraulic fluid or you can replace the hydraulic cylinder. If your plan on buying a new one I would recommend a low profile Duralast 2 1/2 Ton aluminum steel garage jack from Autozone.....You can order from their website and get 20% off

I have one that is an AC Delco I got from O'reileys. Haven't had any problems with it. My dad had a big one, looked like a racing jack, might have been, idk. One stroke and it went from the floor to whatever you were lifting. Bought it at a flea market for what seemed like cheap.

Liberalism is definitely a mental disorder. Logic and common sense need not apply...

I figure that shooting a attacker is as fair a trial as they should get!

I am sure glad to hear that! I showed my wife and as usual her eyes lit up like mine. But with 4 already it's hard seeing any animal needing a loving home. Glad this one was fortunate!

Didn't mean to sound like I was flogging you for it. Does show however that prominent conservation media can be just as wrong as the liberal one though. And once it's in print, it just snowballs around the web. - OS

I have a Doyle thornless BlackBerry that I put in terrible dirt a couple of years ago. It refuses to die but hasn't fruited yet. I bought a second one at the same time for a friend who knows how to grow stuff and it has produced gallons of good tasting berries. Not sure if there are cheaper options but they seem to produce well with a little TLC Mark

I rarely post here, but felt like throwing in my 2 cents. Find a class and take the course. Its worth it. I've ridden for a long time, (42 years lol), and the biggest dangers in my opinion are texting/distracted drivers. Situational awareness! Enjoy the ride but keep your head on a swivel. I've had more close calls in the last five years than all the previous years combined and I chalk it up to cell phones. Congrats on the bike! I've got a sportster 1200s with a few mods.

The matching tie is made in Columbia.

Well, it took me a week to find what I wanted, but she's home now

I paid $500 for a hooker once.

I've had my Glock 23 for about 18 years. Not even 1 hiccup the entire time I've had it. It still goes with me everywhere. I don't really have a firm position on the .40 vs 9mm debate, but I'm much more inclined to buy something with 9mm in mind rather than the .40. I have very limited experience with 10mm. I'm just not a big enough fan of any handgun caliber to make any argument interesting. On the other hand, ask me about something like 5.56 vs 6.8SPC and things will go south really, really quick.

I'm just dying to know his thoughts on Glocks, .40cal, and 10mm...

Academy is being racist by keeping the black rifles around, but out of sight.

I like their stuff. They're usually real proud of it.

Looks like I'm gonna buy me a DD rifle tomorrow:)

I'm going to buy me some DD stuff. I like their spirit.

Don't most of us have to make a buck to continue to exist? That certainly doesn't keep us from allowing politics to persuade or dissuade us from taking certain actions in life. I don't say anything about Walgreens or Best Buy not selling or displaying firearms, because they never have. It was never part of their business model. Academy, on the other hand, has devoted a sizable portion of their business to firearms and related merchandise. The consumerism that drove them to sell and display those scary black rifles in the first place can and should work against them when they all of a sudden decide to change direction. Whether they wanted to or not, they made it entirely political when they allowed the political climate to dictate their policy. But if consumerism is supposed to validate or refute those decisions, like you said, then why the chiding toward the people attempting to refute the decision of Academy? You seem to think very highly of your own opinions and ability to validate or refute something, but hold little regard for anyone else attempting to do the same. That might be the biggest difference between my philosophy and yours. I'm willing to pay more for something if I see value in other aspects of supporting a business, besides just saving a buck. I go out of my way to buy many American made products, even though I have to do a little more work and spend more money to do so. Businesses often use their money and clout as leverage to push policies that help them, and I'm free to use my $$$$ as leverage as I see fit. I'm not a consumerist robot. I realize that business has been intertwined with government and politics. The little Mom & Pop stores have been brushed aside to make way for corporations that have no true concern for any type of "community," only a concern for a bottom line. Rarely do you see large businesses and corporations that are completely apolitical when push comes to shove. You see more and more businesses going out of their way to stick their noses into hot-button topics and social issues. Anti-gunners and other Leftists have no problem trying to push businesses to conform to whichever direction the politically correct winds are blowing. Why shouldn't I be pushing right back? Speaking of groceries, why do I spend a little more at Kroger than other places? Is it because of lower prices? Not really. Is it because more selections? Not really. Is it because it's the only place to buy groceries near me? Nope. It might have something to do with the fact that Kroger management told the Moms Demand Action yentas to take a long walk off a short pier. Kroger doesn't even sell guns or ammunition or anything like that. Yet mysteriously, I've allowed a decision on guns to affect how I support a business that only sells groceries. Why? Because currency has been weaponized and I have to be willing to use it if/when/where others are trying to use it against me. What you see as a "friendly" business that at least still has some overlap with the firearms community, I see as a corporation who's quick to buckle under pressure and cut off its nose to spite its face. There's currently no law prohibiting them from selling AR-15s or displaying them right in the middle of the store. There wasn't even enough time for them to gauge any kind of negative consumer reaction or decrease in sales. This is something that corporate HQ was clearly ready to do should they come under even the slightest scrutiny. I don't need friends like that. As a gun owner who loves my AR collection, I certainly don't want to rely on those types of entities or give them more support and leverage than they deserve. The idea that they pull scary black rifles from public display that quickly was actually a political statement that plays right into the hands of the gun grabbers. It was as much of a business decision as was Target's business decision to allow grown men to walk into a bathroom with your wife or daughter. Again, it's all become politics when you scratch the surface. But you're right, you are free to patronize them and support them according to your own philosophy. I'm free to do the same. But you're not free to call into question my reluctance and personal boycott without getting some kind of negative reaction.

As always, I look forward to hearing your views on this.

I really want to weigh in here, but I'm intrigued so I'm just going to hold off. I'm certain the chance will present itself before this thread is done...
