Absolutely horrible.  This is why I carry at church.  Always have, always will.

Me? I'd unload it, turn it in to the cops and let the person explain why they left their gun. I got plenty and don't want something that belongs to someone else.

Prayers to all the families and prayers for the world in this day and time in which we live.   I'll never understand why the name and life history of any shooter is made famous by the media. They should all die in obscurity with with the public not ever knowing who they were. 

  For a while, I worked with a contemporary Christian band that played in any church that would have them. After many years in and around various southern churches, I feel comfortable saying nobody does church like black ladies in the south. Even in my 'home' church at the time, I didn't feel as at home as I did in some of the black churches we played. In my experience, those ladies were almost always just genuinely happy to have you in church and wanted you to feel at home.    I'd recommend everyone, even if you have a great 'home' church you're happy with go visit an African American church once or twice. It's a pretty awesome experience, and if nothing else an opportunity to fellowship with some brothers and sisters in Christ in a way that you might not otherwise get to experience. 

Just got this finished up for jct1911! It's gonna be a NASTY little cutter when I put the final edge on it! 5/32" thick o1 steel hardened to 61. I will have two more of these available. Jim

The problem is if people don't blame the guns then they have to face the reality that evil exists in this world. Thats a very difficult thing for some people to handle

  Leave it to the Libtards to try to make mass murder more illegal than it already is.

Prayers for the family members of the victims. Another terrible act by a worthless piece of crap.

He's lucky I'm not his boss.

Once upon a time a guy wanted to get into the fast food business, but he wanted to do something different. So, after a lot of study, he decided to open a Rabbitburger fast food restaurant. It was a real success. His rabbitburgers were so good folks flocked from far and near to eat them, and he made a fortune.   One day an old friend stopped by and was very impressed with how well the business was doing. "Tell me," he said to the owner, "do you have any trouble obtaining rabbit meat in such large quantities?"   The owner looked around suspiciously and said in a very low tone of voice "Well, yes, to be perfectly honest about it. Sometimes we have to augment the rabbit meat with other meat."   "What other meat?" the friend asked.   Putting his hand over his mouth and speaking very softly the owner said: "horse meat."   "Horse meat!" exclaimed the friend, "in what ratio?!"   Now almost whispering, the owner answered "one to one."   "Y'mean one pound of horse meat to one pound of rabbit meat?"   "No, one horse to one rabbit!"   Now, as Paul Harvey said, you have the WHOLE story. :pleased:

While I don't like "hate crime" laws as they criminalize thought, I have to admit that this is lining up to be a textbook definition of one.

Thank you all for the input and sorry for the long delay. The WD 40 did the trick Dolomite.    

There's nothing like a gun free zone to protect innocent citizens.

Of course the media is going with the hate crime angle but aren't all these mass killings about hate? Some worthless sociopath hates their life, hates humanity and blames society or a group of people, wants to become famous so they target a group of defenseless innocent people in revenge for their own miserable existence. I hope when they find him he will draw on police and they remove him from existence so we wont have to hear his name and see his face all over the news for years like that parasite theater killer.

If I found it in a rest room or anywhere for that matter I would call the local police and ask if they want to come and pick it up or would they want me to bring it to the station. Keeping it or selling it IMO is not a valid option.

Correct answer.

Journalism still has worth. There just is no journalism.

The only time msnbc isn't in last place is when cnn is done covering a riot or something. Journalism has no worth these days.

A knife?  That's what our cooks carried.  We carried a tank with us.

To be fair, violence with guns, while it does happen in other countries with very strict gun laws, it does not happen as often as it does here. You can't compare the US to Isreal or Iraq and their historical and religious regional conflicts. Compare it to say Germany. Yes hate crimes happen everywhere, but we can't just blatantly ignore the reality here that guns are involved more frequently. I don't like the reality, but I am willing to accept the reality as I don't believe it is a gun issue, but a social issue. I just think it comes across as illogical when someone says this happens everywhere where gun laws are stricter. It doesn't.

Kill de wabbit, kill de wabbit .,..   I think they're okay. Like squirrels, I'd claim them to be a lot better if they were as big as chickens.   - OS

Correct. Very open and accepting congregation with a very open minded pastor as well. IOW a cohesive group of Christians who would welcome a stranger in to worship or observe. I just wish someone their besides their murderer had been armed and put paid to this violent criminal.     BTW if none here have ever done so please make and effort to visit one of your communities African-American Churches. The little old ladies in white dresses are a true treasure and the sermons are spirited to say the least. Good times...

  Sheer poetry. ;)   - OS

I have an old Kingfisher Topo map of the complete lower end of Ky Lake. It actually begins just above New Johnsonville and goes. south to Savannah which is about 5 miles from Pickwick Dam. If this is the lake map your looking for I would be more than glad to give it to you. I used it one time back in 1998. PM me your name and address in Dickson and I will put it in the mail to you.............. :up:   Bersaguy

      This was my point above. You can't leave the gun somewhere by accident if you don't take it out in the first place. Having to remove the gun when you chop some butt wood makes forgetting it somewhere possible in the first place that wouldn't be if it stayed in its holster. I don't think folks give enough thought about what to do with their gun when they squeeze out a Lincoln when choosing their method of carry. The time to ask yourself what you will do with your gun when making a grunt sculpture is before you pick out your holster. I know I would find it difficult to pump a clump of dump out of my rump if I was worried about my gun while I was helping the groundhog find his shadow.     :poop:

  Maybe his dad is a white supremacist too.   - OS

I guess ALL white people will be responsible for this crap too.     If by some chance there's some nutcase douche out there reading this post, I have a question?  Why shoot up places like schools and churches?  If you want to use violence and murder to make the country a better place, start offing drug dealers and gang bangers.  I bet the cops won't look quite as hard for you.       The whole world is just eat up with the dumb ass.  

I certainly don't need another Surefire light, but it looks like I'll be spending more money on one.

No I'm not self righteous I just can't excuse or see how anyone can leave a gun in a public place like that. Just like I can't see how anyone can forget a child or pet in a hot car. And as for cops leaving the gun belts they should face the same punishments as us civilians that leave guns in public places.

I suspect he will not be taken alive. Cowards like this generally take their own lives at the first sign they are going to be caught.   As far as the weapon it would have to fit in his fanny pack so likely a pistol of some sort.   Yet another spark that has a chance to ignite the hostilities and the race baiters will no doubt use this as a means to further divide when we should be coming together.

Cut it in half with a blow torch and put it on display with the owners name in bold lettering..... If you can't keep track of your gun then you should not carry one.....

It seems pretty simple to me, or maybe I just am. I might hang around with it for a few min, just to see if person shows up and can tell me zactly what it is, but if not:   - call cops, they'll almost certainly pick it up - tell whoever's in charge of store that's where it went so can tell owner if he comes back and looks for it - unload and keep ammo as finder's fee :)   - OS

What if you found it in a drawer in someone's home? Perhaps they'd stepped out for a bit.   What's the difference? It ain't yours!

Uhh, that's great till someone reports it stolen and you sell it. Possession is 9 tenths of the law.

  If there's one thing this society really needs, it's a lot of folks catching up on their desperately deserved ass whippings. Won't ever happen though. We live in the land of girlie men and participation trophies.

There have been a few threads lately about the “Good Ole Days”. One thing I see all the time that is significantly different from the good ole days is what people will say when they think they are protected. When I was running around as a young man (circa 70’s, 80’s) we had all the things they have today. Road rage; we had it. But if you participated in it, it would usually end with someone taking an azz beating and the cops weren’t called. Arguments, bar fights, etc.; same thing, you either shut up, left, or threw down. As a cop in the late 70’s and early 80’s I responded to many of those types of calls. We had what we called “Mutual Combat”. If you got in a fight in a bar or with your neighbor because you couldn’t keep your mouth shut, and then wanted the Police to arrest them; it generally wasn’t happening if you were a willing participant. I told them it was mutual combat and if they were adamant that they wanted to file a complaint I told them I would arrest them both and let the States Attorney make the call. (They wouldn’t prosecute two willing participants running their mouths that led to a fight anyway.) I’ve seen many people say things and show disrespect that I’m sure they wouldn’t do in front of a person. You have responsibility for the things you say and do. You have anonymity on the internet (to some degree) but not so much out in public. If you argue with someone to the point of name calling; you shouldn’t get to file a complaint if you get your azz beat. The cops should tell you “Don’t be stupid next time.” and leave. Of course with our liberal bleeding hearts making a big deal of it the cops can’t handle it that way anymore. Today those bleeding heart liberals think they can say whatever they want and if someone punches them out; they will shoot them. That was murder in the good ole days. Is my thinking messed up on this?

Having your vehicles serviced at Walmart is roughly akin to expecting to get a gourmet meal through the McDonald's drive-through window ...

  You dummy. That's not agenda. That's vagina. :D

  Just them lyin' eyes and all. Guess the brass decided public opinion wouldn't deign to give him back his gravitas, unless he "earns it back" on the farm club.   - OS

Well I am sure that young man asked permission before carrying into the church. Because more gun laws would have obviously stopped this catastrophe.

I'm not sure which version I have. I downloaded a few years ago, it was not free I know that and then I paid for another upgrade on it last year to give me more detail and settings I think. Edit: It is the yearly subscription plus I have the advanced map options too. 

Time for some pics Paisan.

Turns out that one of the guns marked 65-3 was in fact a 65-1 with pinned bbl, recessed cylinder, and original walnut grips with medallions. Excellent mechanical condition with only very minor surface corrosion. I snagged it at the $250 price and took it to the range , where it acquitted itself quite nicely. I'm jazzed about this purchase and I'm looking forward to some polishing to purty this thing up. I'm thinking checkered Houges with no finger grooves in Rosewood laminate. Or maybe Cocobolo... or Pau Ferro?

It's important to watch out for it.

Hope it works out as painlessly as possible from here on out.     What ever happened to personal responsibility?  If you f up, you admit it, take responsibility and work to make it right.  SMH

I wouldn't jump in.  Unless I'm attacked, or there is a danger of serious injury/death, I'm staying out.  Yeah, the lawsuit aspect is valid, but it's really none of my business, and separating two fighting women is asking for trouble.   Besides, they both look like they can use the exercise a fight brought.

Apparently the mother of the boy has been charged with contributing to delinquency (a misdemeanor) and neglect of a dependent (a felony   Story

  There;s a woman in the background who tells the guy not to break it up out of the fear of being involved in a lawsuit. It's in the second video towards the end.
