07 Fat Boy. Rides like a dream.

It's been a tough year.....

And a lot more fun to read than comments about Bezo's penis rocket ...

What if we just made shooting people illegal?

I hope you don’t buy guns for investment purposes.

It's the damn covid.....

If you are referring to my quip, I meant your old avatar. Bring it back or find something else or whatever, lol.

I'm don't subscribe to a deity, but I did spend some time in a church as a kid without it catching on fire, so I learned a little. I can't help but compare people in dire straits who haven't gotten the vaccine to that story of a man on a rooftop during a flood who had a weather report, a rowboat, and a helicopter that could have given him safety at different times, but he sent them all away because he felt God would protect him. Then after he died in the flood, he asked God what happened, only to learn God had sent the report, the rowboat, and the helicopter. I hope all of them come out okay, and I hope anyone still hesitant considers what we're seeing.

Yep. High priced bull#### artists. Worthless.

Blame the Democrats. That pretty much covers all the Communist variants ...

They have Blazer Brass for $17.99 limit 4 if ordered on line, not sure about limit in store.

Greg those are the "fun" times of driving cars and trucks that don't have a monthly payment on them. I would rather put a few hundred dollars into some repairs every now and then than pay $750 up for a monthly note. I own debt free 4 vehicles that cost me total $7,500. Now I have spent $9,000 or so in repairs over the course of 8 years,so that figures purchase price plus repairs to a little over $500 per year per vehicle. I am on the lookout for a pre computer truck or car, I know how to file points!!!

He may need a drool cup but rest assured he knows the agenda. Bottom line, they want our guns gone & dispose of the 2nd Amendment.

I hope everyone here realizes that you know enough to see how little politicians understand firearms. I further hope you realize they have the same amount of knowledge or economics, healthcare, safety, environment, foreign policy, etc. It's really scary when you stop and think about it.

Thanks to everyone here who supported this POS. CNN Town Hall: Joe Biden Suggests a 9mm Pistol Ban (breitbart.com) Joe Biden Suggests a 9mm Pistol Ban - Patriots Freedom

7/23/21 had a few Lbs of various Hodgson and Ramshot rifle powders, 5 boxes Rifle primers and a supply of some ammo, various calibers. Paid 2 bucks each for HP .357 factory rounds... but at least they had some!

My remark further up was to figure out how to bring back the HST avatar. If memory serves me it disappeared after an update and hasn't returned. Just an R in its place lol.

That's good. I have a serious identity connection to that character. As has been noted, maybe it's time to move on...

Went to Crossroad Firearms in Fountain City, this afternoon to get a shotgun out of lay-a-away. They have plenty of 115gr and 124gr FMJ, in 50 rd boxes, going for $19.99 a box.

They have them stockpiled waiting for chips. Keep your powder dry, I see a huge new car buying opportunity before long. I'm sort of needing one as well, but plan to wait a while.

Ralph Steadman is the artist often associated with Hunter S. Thompson. R’s old avatar was Steadman/Thompsonish. I don’t know who that is you’re talking about, lol.

No need to be half-assed. If Biden's proposal is enacted, shooting people with a 9mm would be double-illegal, so people will be twice as likely to not shoot each other ...

Passionate you might say.

He is a prime example of why we should all own firearms!

Well its a good thing I kept all my 40 cals !!

Again, I'm fully supportive of your right to not vaccinate, but the immune response from the vaccine is much stronger than antibodies from contracting coronavirus. And the research is still weak on how long they last from exposure. I'd get a shot if its been 6months or more since you were sick.

I don't really need a breach. But if the brake reduces muzzle rise and recoil, it'll be worth it.

I have them in 4 cars. Not sure the brand. There is a local guy that installs them for me. I always get the ones with 2 cameras front and back. I have them in my daughters car as well and can track her if need be with it. I had a Lexus LS 460 one week and a guy side swiped me on a little curvy road close to home. I saw it coming as was almost stopped and in the ditch trying to avoid him. He was clearly way on my side of the road. He was very sorry when we talked while waiting for LE to arrive. Funny he was not sure he had crossed the center line when talking to LE. Fortunately the officer could tell what really happened and placed the blame on the guilty party. I had the car for one week and had to gotten the cams put in yet so it was my word and the experience of the officer that had me covered. Love the dash cams.

Right. Meanwhile, I wonder if the administration is making sure to vaccinate all the illegals flooding the border...

I think what @garufa was talking about is the Blazer aluminum cased.

I started hedging my bets against any possible inflation by getting into precious metals, mainly lead.

We all make our own bed, I know I've made mine, and no amount of fear mongering will convince me to take this vaccine. There is just too much bogus BS being shoved down our throats to make me believe they have our good interest in mind. With what this country has gone through, in the last couple of years nothing, absolutely nothing, will convince me that our current administration is on the up and up on this, and many other things.

I hope we get the chance to find out.

Or very right

Next time Rachael calls, I'm gonna stay on the line and see about that extended warranty she always offers.

I handed him the cash. He still didn't want me to ride it. He then reluctantly said I could as I was walking to the truck.

That is absolutely normal. No test rides without cash in hand. I have never test ridden a bike unless it was a dealer. The stories of people wrecking bikes on test rides and then leaving the owner (or owners insurance) high and dry on the repairs are far to common. I have never allowed anyone to ride any of my bikes without cash in hand. I will let them sit on it, I will start it, I will run it up and down the road in front of them but unless they have handed me a wad of cash they are not going to ride it out of my garage. If they ride it and find some issue or wish to back out of the deal for whatever reason I will negotiate or simply hand them their money back.

Great piece that’s worth a read https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/07/convincing-the-skeptics/

About 12 yo would take . 22 on bikes and ride 5 mi in country to a private dump owned by large factory. It had cool stuff to shoot dumped daily including a pile of garbage from lunchroom and fast as lightning rats. one day we found part of a guard shack dumped with paddlelock still in place. My buddy see too many cowboy movies tried to shoot the lock off and I feel a hammer to chest from the ricochet and was in a daze for a couple minutes from lowley.22 then looked down at my chest in a white T and small spot of blood getting bigger and bigger. Miles from a phone or hospital made my way home and lived,guess it stuck in breast bone and being I did not die I snuck in changed shirt and tossed old one. Never mentioned it as it would have been end of taking gun out.

My buddy and I would take pvc and cap one end. We would get on opposite side of the street in the ditch and shoot bottle rockets at each other. It was a lot of fun. You can have a lot of fun when you are not thinking about the consequences.

And finger foods.

Bring your own Hand-burgers

Do you "need" a breach break? The points are a bit sharp and might get hung on carry bags and such.

Those of us that have more primers than they will ever need to loosen up. Heck, I was selling to Tennessee guys primers last winter for $40.00 a brick, any favor. Just donated a brick of 209 shot shells primers to a collage student trying for the Nationals. Come on guys, this is the Volunteer State. The more of us that have ammo, the lesser chance of someone ( foreign or domestic) taken away our gun rights.

I picked up 2000 CCI Large Pistol Primers at Sportsman's Warehouse in Southhaven, MS for $44.50 per thousand and a 1000 CCI Small Pistol Primers at Bass Pro for $54.75 in Memphis last week.

I smell a troll.

If you are good with the 1911, I'd stick with that. You're not looking for trouble, so the .45 should work well on most types of trouble that find you. For me, a .45 carries more easily than a single action revolver. Plus, a pair of extra mags takes up very little room and gives you more options if you run into more trouble than one mag can handle.

I'd be more concerned about 2 legged predators than those. And I'd definitely want a double action, not a single action.
