Yeah, believe it or not, I have a thing for mouse guns. Little .22 & 25 acp pistols that'll fit in your shirt pocket. I don't know why I'm so fond of them. But under certain circumstances where deep concealment is required, I have carried one as my primary.

Parents failure to love their kids, teach their kids and give their kids a good home is why we have mass shootings; not guns.

When I was growing up my parents left us unattended in a running vehicle all the time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

or vote.

It is a shame there cannot be a test one has to pass in order to reproduce.

I probably know where it is and can tell you it’s even better in person thanks Steve

My only AK caliber rifle. Barreled action by Dolomite Supafly. Single shot Savage action 7.62x39. If I recall he used a Green Mountain .308 blank. Bushnell 30mm 10x on top. It shoots saltine crackers at 185yrds with ease.

Those were they days. We also had windows that rolled down all the way, no stupid-ass electronic sensors that cost too much and don’t work, and far more intelligent people going about life. I used to stand up in the passenger seat of mom’s VW Squareback riding around town, lol. But she sure as hell did not leave me in the car, ever, especially with windows and doors that won’t open.

How does that saying go? "All of the guns some of the time, some of the guns all of the time"?

You could probably search back in the forum a few years back to find the pictures that I posted of my little obsession, but I’ll post them again here. I still have all of these as well as some better quality mouse guns in my collection.

My dogs Seresto flea color costs almost that much and only last 8 months.

I agree 100% that parents don't spend the time necessary to actually teach their children and in most case show the children the Love they should and most of all provide them a good home. We did not have all the high tech toys kids have today and when they began to show up my kids did not get them until they could buy their own. Then there was rules in my home when and where they could be used. My boys were taught right from wrong until they left home as adults and from watching my Son Ronnie with his boys he raised them in pretty much the same manor he was raised in.

IMHO, you can't go wrong with 1911alltheway.

Leaving your headlights on is more obvious than your kids in the back seat? That's incomprehensible. Having kids should fundamentally change how a person thinks and acts. People need to put down the damn phone, quit being so self absorbed and accept the idea that their needs are no longer the most important thing.

I have been selling Pro-Tech knives since 2014 in that time I have seen some of the finest custom knives I could imagine, but yesterday I brokered a deal for one of my clients on what I consider one of the absolute best custom knives made, this TR3 in inlaid with 24Karet Gold and has a solid gold 1/4 ounce bullion coin inlaid it is absolutely stunning

Not a thumb break, but here’s a pic of the rig he did for me with pancakes for my BHP and Beretta 92G.

55-10-803. Offense of leaving child unattended in motor vehicle -- Penalty. (a) It is an offense for a person responsible for a child younger than seven (7) years of age to knowingly leave that child in a motor vehicle located on public property or while on the premises of any shopping center, trailer park, or any apartment house complex, or any other premises that is generally frequented by the public at large without being supervised in the motor vehicle by a person who is at least thirteen (13) years of age, if: (1) The conditions present a risk to the child's health or safety; (2) The engine of the motor vehicle is running; or (3) The keys to the motor vehicle are located anywhere inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

(c) A second or subsequent violation of this section is a Class B misdemeanor punishable only by a fine of five hundred dollars ($500). If the adult was present and children were in no danger he was an idiot.

1911alltheway did a leather holster for my Shield with the integrated laser. It looks great and the fit is perfect. Need to get some money ahead and get a few more done. At least for a 9 and a 45 1911.

Here are a couple I have done... This was done for one of the members here. It is a cross draw but I can make a strongside holster as well. The next one is for a revolver but it gives an idea for what can be done with a thumb break holster. These are both avenger style holsters but I can also do pancake style holsters as well, I just don't have any pics of them with a thumb break. There are also others on here that make holsters as well, and I'm sure you will get others chiming in. There is alot of talent on here. Congrats on the 1911 it's one of my favorites both to do holsters for and to shoot, I've carried mine forever.

Shooters Nation has given me a rare opportunity that I frankly don't deserve to sit among people inside the industry and listen to what they're saying. I've heard and seen things that have later come to pass, and likewise things that fizzled and never manifested. That's the way "insider" information works. In the last 72 hours, some of what I've been privy to has been leaked elsewhere on social media by other people eager to outdo each other. I guess to prove that they know cool people who know cool things, or whatever. I'm not keen on betraying the confidence that some of these folks have shown in me, so I'll continue to keep my mouth shut. I will say this... we've got some smart folks on TGO and a lot of common sense present here. Naturally we come to some pretty accurate conclusions all on our own. But we've also got some loud voices on TGO that people are listening to at their own peril just because they're loud on TGO. Like I said, some of what I've seen and heard in advance has fizzled out or changed. What I've heard in the last 48 hours from people in the industry who generally know things in advance has changed directions twice and two people that I've come to trust are now diametrically opposing each other's statements about what the government might be ramping up to do in response to the recent spree killings. I'd just buy whatever you want to buy with the thought in mind that nothing is guaranteed tomorrow. AR pistols and pistol braces have been a finger in the ATF's eye for a while and it's only logical to assume that they might be low-hanging fruit for a President that wants to be perceived as having "Done something". Don't assume there are too many of them to do anything about. Some things can be made legal to own but illegal to transfer, effectively halting the propagation of them beyond the current generation of owners. And that's not insider info... that's just me thinking out loud.

My experience with gun grabbers is that they entice you with compromise on what they cal 'reasonable', then you compromise, and they keep pushing and taking. They dont want us to have guns period. Everything is a step towards that for them. I dont care one bit about bumpstocks, but that was a step...

LOL. I know, Right? I guess it is actually. The S&W forum folks tell me there was 4,813 of them made. I doubt this is a factory nickel job, most likely an after-market chrome plating. The plating kinda went hand in hand with the heat and humidity of SW MS. My father had an affinity for .32 Smith's and carried a small .32 snubby in his right hip pocket from the time I was a small child until he traded it off sometime in the 1980's. He came up with this one somehow and I inherited it when he passed. So it's a keeper, and I will definitely be shooting it. The action is pretty darn good and I've never been much of one to own a gun and not shoot it. Doesn't make much sense to me. You'll need to shoot it when I get some loads worked up.

I find it repulsive that any government thinks it’s okay for them to kill someone that is locked in a cell, and is a danger to no one while in that cell, but they want to require you, I, and Police Officers to wait to shoot someone that has a gun in their hand and is and immediate threat. I personally would like to see it returned to the way it used to be where you could kill a forcible felon or a fleeing forcible felon if they refuse to stop. Heck…I’ll even take that one step farther. I would like to see it where once it is proven you had intent to commit a forcible felony; your Constitutional Rights are gone. Of course that would never cut it with the SCOTUS, them being the interpreters of the Constitution and all.

This is already happening. There are innocent people on death row as I type this.

Unfortunately Doug they have to exist. Most wife beaters are cowards, that’s why they are wife beaters. And most cowards are afraid of going to jail because they know there is a good chance they will get their azz beat there for what they did. So Protection Orders work a lot of the time. Do they work all the time? No, absolutely not. Are they abused to get someone out of a house? Yes, just like the Red Flag laws will be. I mean lets face it, Texas is a race with Florida to see which state can murder the most people the fastest. Yet the El Paso shooter committed his murders in Texas. He isn’t afraid of dying, he had to know if he wasn’t killed in the attack he would be executed. No law will stop someone that has no fear. They don’t fear the law and they obviously don’t fear God. Divorce is very emotional. People die and are killed it divorce disputes and family matters everyday. But cops can’t turn their backs on people in need. The United States Constitution doesn’t require them to, and it’s silly that some think it does. Keep in mind I’m speaking about cops as a group. I’m sure someone can find an internet story somewhere or tell their story of something a cop did they thought was wrong. So while I agree with you a lot of people will die when they file for an order of protection; I disagree it was the cause. The animal committing the murder is the cause. As I have said before, when the Police show up at someone’s house; it’s generally because the adults in the house are no longer capable of handling their own families business. So their business is no longer private; it is in the hands of the local Police. Those Police are armed with the tools they need to end the problem. The laws; including the Domestic Violence laws and any Red Flag laws are tools in their toolbox to deal with adults that can no longer handle either their personal or family obligations. For someone to suggest those tools are a violation of someone’s rights; is ridiculous. However, that issue will be addressed by the courts; not debated by the responding Officers.

On an over and under you need to clean off the grease on the hinge pins and other metal to metal contact points after each use and re-apply. Otherwise, you can get galling and have trouble down the road. Also, need to clean the action and other internals when hunting in very dusty conditions (such as Oklahoma dove hunting). Also clean more after a firearm gets wet/used in the rain. And obviously you don't waterfowl hunt.

Having kids; the most important thing one can do. Has a tremendous effect on society. No training or license required.

@No_0ne offered some solid info. I enjoy handloading, so there's that. But brass prep for rifle cartridges can be time consuming and tedious... The price of ammo, heck, everything firearms related, is at an almost unprecedented low point currently. Since these things are proven cyclic, it wouldn't be a bad idea to simply purchase ammo you want to shoot now, before the next crazy period in the cycle. Components, if stored properly, last an incredibly long time. I've used powder and primers over the past 2 years I purchased in the early to mid 1990's and they functioned as new. It's your call. But I'd keep my components and buy the ammo. Just an opinion.

I am getting in early. Gonna buy all the black powder rifles I can. Sadly I see a future where that might be all we can use....

Edit In a post several years ago, I made the suggestion of springs, detents, bolts, and firing pins. I would stand by that today, if anyone hasn't done that yet. And reloading stuff.

I am not a Glock fan either but I did pick up a G48. Best Glock I have ever had. Fits me well and after a little work very nice trigger, shoot very well. Doesn't feel like a Glock, feels more like a polymer 1911 type pistol in my hand.

Good stuff here.

If you can’t remain respectful, you can’t remain. Knock it off.

It’s a shame your family had to go though that. The Domestic Violence laws of today are the Red Flag laws for a wife beater. The Domestic Violence laws of today might have helped her, but only if she wanted away from him. It’s tough to have to tell some of the people I dealt with “No, an order of protection will not stop him from beating or killing you; it only allows us to arrest him if he comes back.” Of course most of the time the cops will be able to arrest him anyway for what he’s going to do when he comes back. I guess that’s why I have absolutely no tolerance for someone threatening someone with violence. I could see an oil painting of someone trying to have a conversation with me about their gun rights after they threatened to shoot a family member. Are the laws abused? Sure. Anyone can accuse you of anything.

If there is probable cause to arrest, then arrest and take the guns as evidence. If somebody made threats to kill themselves, place them on a 72 hour hold, but they don't get to confiscate guns when doing that. If you don't have PC for an arrest and there isn't enough evidence for a 72 hour hold, the cops are out of luck, the constitution protects one's right to property. And that is how it should be. I think if my wife (who would never do such a thing) called the police and made up a story about a threat... They would show up and interview both of us... if there was PC for an arrest I should be arrested, otherwise, I should be allowed to leave the house and take my property with me.... And under TN state law today, the police are required to not keep my firearms per 39-17-1351(t). I can't stop them from breaking the law, but I have legal recourse should they break the law. Police Officers don't need more authority than they have today, frankly we should be discussing limiting a number of police powers. If they have PC for an arrest make an arrest... Otherwise they should have to take it to a judge where you have a chance to cross examine witnesses and provide a defense before the government takes your property against you will, and violates your fundamental civil rights.

Don't forget the guy who was shot to death on his front porch after being Swatted by another person. He was unarmed. Apparently, you can simply move your hand and by shot to death, with zero repercussions for the officer. "Justin Rapp, Officer, Wichita Police Department; originally stated he believed Finch had a gun, but testified in May 2018 that he merely saw Finch make a motion with his hand" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Wichita_swatting

When dealing with any government entity, acting the same as if you were involved in a hostage situation is usually the best course of action. Keep your head down, don’t draw attention to yourself, and no sudden movements.

May be doing a little extra work in your cleaning. Wet tumble with pins is all I do. I add just a touch of RCBS cleaner. I don’t worry about the primer pocket. Might be different if doing match rifle ammo.

Let's at least be honest ...it is NOT a "buy back" because they never owned them to begin with. Call it what it is....giving you back some of your tax dollars you already paid in to the govt to try to appease you for taking your property and further limiting your freedom. Call it what it is.

It isn’t going to happen. Are you saying you would go to prison over your gun rights? No, I wouldn’t and neither would most people. I got stuff to do; I ain’t got time to be hanging out in prison cell.

SB Tactical is one. There may be others? I only know of them. Everything I have with a brace is SB Tactical. They went through the effort to get an ATF determination letter a while back. Several other manufacturers copied their letter under the assumption that the ATF's opinion applied to them too. In principle, it may have - for a time, but if times change those manufacturers might find themselves on the wrong side of a new policy shift.

That means she has thought of something she wants.

Trying a new whiskey tonight. So far I like it.

This. The FFL retains the form 4473with the buyers name and the gun serial number, but they don't give that info to anyone... unless they surrender their license (quit the business) and are require to give their records to the ATF. If a gun is used in a crime and the police are researching it, they contact the OEM who looks up which distributor got that one. Then they ask the distributor which retailer got it. Then they ask the retailer (FFL) who bought it. Then they contact you. If you no longer have it because you sold it to another person, you tell them that. If you don't have record of who you sold it to (an individual is not required to have any records) that's the end of the line. And carrying it on your person somewhere other than your property requires a handgun carry permit (HCP). There is no requirement to conceal it, but it's generally considered to be a good idea.

Here's a Big Agnes 3-person for $157.48. You can't beat that with a hiking stick.
