This bacon foolishness needs to stop.  If it's not crispy fried strips of pig meat or crumbled pieces of said crispy cooked meat....IT AIN'T BACON.

Please oh please do not bring Tennessee into the national spotlight, especially by Christie.

Drag his fat ass to Prince's, and make him eat the extra hot.

I'm so proud of my 14 year old daughter. She attends a private school. Her school requires all 8th grade students to do a 25 hour project and log their hours. I helped her with a couple of difficult cuts on the angle grinder and router but she did most everything on this. She even demonstrated it outside of her school. Her teacher was so excited to give it a try as soon as the teacher shot it she said "Well you'll be getting an A!". Other teachers heard about it and came out to give it a go. This was her project: -Stock is 2x4 pine -Trigger and mechanism is a flat piece of steel cut and bent after she heated it with a blowtorch. -Bow is a piece of 1" PVC heated and flattened then reheated and bent to shape. (People on the interwebs are getting 150lb draw on 1 1/2" PVC so we went with 1" -String is 550 paracord -bolt is an oak dowel rod with a penny ground into an arrow shape and packing tape fletching. ( I actually made this arrow, she made two like it with foam on the tips in case they wouldn't allow her to shoot the sharp one) Yup, my daughter rocks! -southernasylum

  It's good to know that when you have a badge, choking someone isn't aggravated assault or simple assault at the least (which i believe both are criminal acts) in your book.   It's funny how two people can see the same thing and think two different things.  I see a human assaulting and commiting a crime under the color of authority.   You see......well...something that's not a crime.  

If the republicans put up a smuck like Cristie; they will be finished as anything but a marginal special interest group... They will elect hillary by default and we'll get rid of the republican party and finish the pickpocketing of america by the political class... I cant stand any of these sons and daughters of satan... The hell with 'em all....   leroy

... on Russian steel ammo. Both .223 and 7.62x39 Tulammo are over .30/round. Can beat that online by 5 to 7.5 cents per round delivered. Wasn't long ago it was the opposite.   That is all, over and out.   - OS

FTFY. 

Yeah....I've got two of several things for that very reason. I usually find the first one when looking for a place to store the second one.

I don't usually hide stuff. I put it in a safe place so when I need it............ I find it after I buy a new one.   :screwy:

Those are my famous last words....

I think anyone forced to use VA should receive hazardous duty compensation for putting their lives in danger.............jmho

My sympathy for being in the VA hospital, for any reason. I recently spent 4 days in the M'boro VA, Rather be back in 'Nam.

Allow me to rephrase that for you:   Well, I actually don't blame the people who are hurting other gun owners and really hurting interest in the shooting sports, in general, by grabbing up all the ammo that the average, working person could actually afford to buy in large enough quantities to be able to have a fun, all day range or plinking session with family and friends and reselling it at profiteering prices.   That isn't intended as a jab at you, personally but it is exactly what these profiteers and scalpers are doing.

I keep hearing, "We're off to see the wizard" in my head...

I lived in Hawaii for 5 years, I miss it so much and plan to return to vacation before to long. While visiting Hawaii and not seeing Pearl Harbor should be a sin, I would encourage you to visit the Big Island or Maui. Oahu really is a large island on a tiny island. I miss the weather, the laid back mentality, the beaches, the surfing and mountain biking, and especially the food. If you have any questions specifically please pm me, I really enjoy talking about Hawaii.

i was at a flea market today in georgia and there was a guy will a table full of all types of ammo.  he had a box of remington golden bullet 500 count for $60.00.  It was not selling.  He had the same box last week on the table too.  i did not see him sale anything.  all his ammo prices were high.  lots of people picking up and asking for the price, but no sales. 

I am getting ready to get a 9mm 1911 Pistol and I want to make sure I am getting the right ammo.  Pretty sure I am.   So far I have been buying up  Winchester 9mm Luger 115-Grain Full Metal Jacket Bullets, 100ct at Walmart when available.  I got about 800 rounds or so now.   Anyways, is 9mm end all and be all or are there different favors like ..45 acp vs .45 gap, .45 LC.?    

Chocolate covered bacon is pretty impressive.... just saying. 

  plus one.  been to hawaii twice on the job and all i can say is you get a better deal in the florida keys.  

I am completely lost.   Ah well... been here before; I'll be here again!  :rofl:

I moved my wife's Smith 416 from its usual hiding place last fall when we were having some work done inside our home. I thought for the longest time one of the workers found it and walked off with it. My wife found it this March. I haven't heard the last of this.

I eat the original Pringle's but that is it. If i want an other flavor use dips with the originals............jmho

While I enjoy shooting my 4" k frames, the versatility of a 3" can't be beat. A 2.5" 19 or 66 has never interested me much because of the adjustable sights, plus the 3" gives you a full length ejector rod. Ever seen a 2.5"(not a 2") Model 10? They are rare and very desirable. I loaded it up today even though I have not shot it and carried in a pocket, i always heard it could be done and wanted to prove so or not. It's possible, reminded me of carrying a Sig239 I had for awhile. If one considers the 3"sp101 pocketable I guess the 3" 65 could be as well. It's a true waistband gun.

You mean like looking for your glasses that are on you head?  or my favorite ...looking for my keyes that are in my hand   ( hate that )   I put a Remmy 1100 in an umbrella/coat stand, so I could answer the door, it got covered with a coat and "disappeared" for months.......

Couldn't tell you how many times I've put something somewhere and said to myself "I won't forget where I put this if I put it here" .........

First time I took apart a 1911 I hid the spring plug for a few hours as it shot up into the air and "disappeared".  I had some hats hanging on top of the wall and it was on top of a hat.  Other than that, nope.

I've bought more ammo in 50 round boxes in the last year than I have in bulk packs. I've had an almost steady of 22lr that way... I look forward to buying nothing but bulk packs again, but in the meantime I've adapted. YMMV.

Obama and Dog the Bounty Hunter.........I wouldn't go!

  Shaving with a DE razor is much cheaper than the Mach 3's. Buy you a tech razor and a sample blade pack off ebay and never look back. 

You can go back and research stories about it back in the 70's in news articles. Thanks Austin 7.62 for your thoughts. I have my good days and bad days these days but hated it when doctor told me to go fishing cause my working days were over. I really loved working on cars but then I really learned to like fishing to. And now I enjoy shooting at the range but can't do a lot of that without using platform to support hand and pistol because rotatory cuffs in shoulders begin to ache. i can shoot for about 30 minutes then if I rest and have a cup of coffee with my arms down in resting position I can go back and shoot another 15 or 20 more minutes. Looking forward to getting that 22lr ammo from David and Sam so I can get back in the range. I am looking at trying to find someone That may want to sell a Bersa 22Lr pistol. I have been wanting one for some time. If I sell that Sig I ave offered on here I will buy one from Buds unless someone can recommend another place I should look for one................. :up: :up:

I'm sure legislation will be introduced within a week to ban the things.

I use hair clippers with a #4 guard. Works for me. Might give a slightly different result though.

Bought my first Ford in 1975 and have owned nothing but since then. Never had the problem and never heard of it that I recall.

Mrs. 'lizard and I went to Hawaii last summer. Oahu and Maui. I'd been before as a kid, but she hadn't. I wouldn't skip Oahu entirely, but I wouldn't spend much time there either. Plan on a day or two to see Pearl and the Arizona (book your tickets online), Waikiki, and drive up to the north shore and back. We both loved Haleiwa on the north shore. Oahu is busy. It doesn't have to be. Lots of people fly in and get out of Honolulu for places on the east side or the north shore. Lanakai beach is beautiful. Lots of beach house rentals over there. Ko'Olina is on the west side. It's where the Disney reort (Aulani) and a JW Marriott are located. there's not much over there at all, but it's slowly growing. It's a good 45-60 min drive from there into Waikiki w/o traffic.   My surfing instructor at Waikiki said Maui is where people on Oahu go to get away from the crowds and Kauai is where people on Maui go to get away from the "crowds". There's not much at all on Lanai or Molokai, so if you really want to get away from people, go there. Very few amenities though. We stayed in west Maui in north Kaanapali. We liked it because it was away from the "crowd" in south Kaanapali and in Lahaina. Maui was great. If I could afford it, and if they would let me keep my guns, I think I could live there.   We stayed in a condo on Oahu and on Maui. We'll be going back and skipping Oahu for more Maui and we'll try Kauai or Big Island depending on if the lava flows are visible or not. We were at Banyan in Oahu. It's an older building. Our unit had been remodeled, but I'd probably try for some other building next time. We stayed at Honua Kai in Maui and loved it. Booked all our stuff on flipkey.com, which is TripAdvisor's version of VRBO.com. A condo or beach house can save you a lot. Many include a parking space, there's no resort fee, and with a kitchen you can save a bunch by making breakfast there and packing a cooler lunch for the beach. Most condos also come with lots of beach gear like coolers, chairs, umbrellas, towels, etc. If not, buy cheap stuff at WalMart/Costco and drop it off at a thrift store when you're done. Cheaper than renting that stuff.   You can get by w/o a car on Oahu if you stay entirely in Waikiki. That kind of sucks, so plan on a car. You need a car on the other islands. Book one as soon as you book your flight. They can and do run out of cars. It's not like they can just drive some over form a nearby airport.

I went once, spent a little over 9 days on Moloka'i. Was fantastic. Spent 2 days in Honolulu.... was NOT worth it, though the trip to Pearl Harbor was a very intense experience. The Arizona memorial is incredible, It's hard to comprehend the events from maps and pictures, being where all those men perished and looking out across the bay, my words cannot do it justice.   Unlike many others here, I'd like to go back, but I won't go visit the big tourist spots - it'll be back to Moloka'i. Kaunakakai was a fun little town, and the trip into the rainforest and up the mountain was awesome.   Visit Halawa valley, east end of the island along a dangerous curvy road. Lots of shore to stop at and swim if you want, beware of jellies, and stay close to shore. The current is VERY strong. Don't swim in the waterfall pool - it's considered sacred to locals and you'll probably get in trouble.   The old leper colony (the last US one, iirc) used to be here on the north side of the island. It still had surviving relatives of lepers there, but no more leprosy. Might be open to the public, I dunno. Worth a bit of research though! We saw a supply ship coming in dock when we hiked up the mountain one afternoon.   Also check out Papohaku beach - one of the largest white sand beaches in the state. It's a natural beach, and is awesome. There are sea turtles there! Don't try to catch em - you won't... but if you do, you'll have a hell of a swim back to shore. Beware sea urchins. they're abundant.   Check out the Kanemitsu Bakery - between 8PM and 2AM - down a sketchy back alley, you'll bring cash to the back door, and buy a loaf of fresh hot bread slathered with cream cheese, jam, sugar, cinnamon, or butter - or some combination. Can't find it? Look for the line wrapping around to the front after about 10pm. It's there. It's called Hot Bread and I ate at least four loaves during my stay.   There used to be an old mud road that went up the mountain, likely paved now (11 years later, but who knows!) There was an old woodcutter who lived up there in the forest - he had some awesome stuff you could buy.   All in all, you could see most of Moloka'i in a few days. But I'd gladly take a trip back and spend another week, or even a month there.   Good luck!

This. Well put.

  He only wants the wings and BBQ.

If I could get on a plane right now and go to the beach - this is where it would be:  http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1098   Fly into St. Thomas.  Take a ferry from the airport to St. John.  2/3 of the island is a national park.  Not a ton of touristy stuff to do, but it's a lot of great exploring, diving, good food and lounging on the beach.   Hawaii is cool.  But Honolulu is really a drag.  It's a long flight and really expensive. Waikiki beach is less than 10 feet wide in a lot of places.  And, it's covered up with people.  If you go to Hawaii - bypass Oahu and go for one of the other islands.  You won't regret it a bit.

:popcorn:

Count me in for 8and 24 please

Yup. Oddly enough that side if the change will have almost no effect on me at all. I would get some awful funny looks whipping out a huge knife at work. I'm way more excited to be able to carry auto knives. :up: hurry Protech!

I like the Big Island.  It's far better than the urban train wreck that is Honolulu.  Pearl Harbor is terribly sobering, but the rest of Honolulu just isn't worth it to me.    My wife and I stayed in the Hilton Waikoloa Village a couple of years ago, and I'd definitely recommend it.  I've stayed all over Waikiki Beach.  When I'm there, I like the Moana Surfrider.

Wait until you start collecting exotics!  This is what happened to me.  I started making them years ago because I loved the exotic holsters.  It went from hobby to addiction to curse!  Welcome to the club! :o)

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

one day the 22 lr ammo will get back to somewhat normal prices.  i hope the wal mart butt heads will have to eat all the ammo they got.

There is no magic lube.   Use the one that's appropriate for the environment you're in, recognize that proper cleaning and maintenance trumps ease of ownership.   That said, I use grease on rails, and clp pretty much everywhere else. xD

My opinion is, in the end he was just being arrested for drunkenness, or whatever. If he struggles a little so what. If he wiggles free, so what. If he was present a violent danger to the officer and others, ok, but I have my doubts about that. I realize he could try to grab a weapon and all that. But he was clearly in control by two other officer before the choke was applied. I feel it was excessive and glad JJ acted with authority.

This one was in a .223 AR. 50grain vmax with 25 gr of H335 I believe. Bipod down and laying prone on the back porch.
