  1.   It will change the crime rates in Detroit. What will be interesting to see is how the left spins it when the crime rate drops from the Chief's urging for all of Detroit's citizens to carry. There will be a overall decrease in crimes but mostly violent ones because citizens will fight back, they will kill some criminals and then the criminals will begin to realize that their free for all heyday has come to a screeching halt.   I honestly wish there was a legal requirement for every single citizen to own at least one firearm, doesn't mean you have to carry it, use it or even take it out of storage because knowing that everyone you come in contact owns a gun would make a lot of bad guys think twice about committing crimes, especially violent ones. Or better yet take all the old surplus firearms and reissue them to the citizens of the country. Make it a lot like a civilian version of the 1033 program for LE except for civilians and call it the "militia program". Use the Second amendment as the justification to create a militia, arm the members of the militia and train those who agree to join a militia. Send a militia, not military, ID card with every gun letting the owner know that along with the gun comes the responsibility to protect the nation, themselves and their loved ones with their newly acquired firearm. Let active duty military train the small groups of militia members in basic firearms, survival and fighting skills. The active duty military can use it as an exercise in training indigenous people.   So many things I would change about this country if I could.

  3. All of our grandkids will probably be lucky to be able to own a home, let alone all the toys and comforts we have enjoyed over the years. I will however be able to look my grandchildren in the eye and explain to them how this happened and that I tried my very best to not be a part of it when they ask “How could you do this to us?” I hold out great hope though that the younger generations will see the mistakes of the generations before them that have turned their backs on their family, friends and county, and will bring this country back to where it belongs.

  4. Things can't continue as they have. And yes...I do feel uneasy about what's going on at the moment and my gut tells me this could be the beginning of an existence I won't be happy with. I don't know what's going to happen...if I did I would have been totally prepared years ago. But I feel pretty confident if something doesn't happen soon at a minimum my kids and grandkids will never know the country and world I grew up in.

  7. Part of the reason that I'm not interested on open carrying in public is that I won't have to spend massive amounts of money to prove my innocence when one of those authorities that wants to resist the state law decides to make an example out of me.  I hope this does happen and I hope that the open carrier wins his case and then sues the pants out of everything he can afterwards but it won't be me.

  10. I just picked this up for a song (OOOOOklahoma....ok too much coffee this morning) and its sweet. It is a F.E.G. P9RK in 9mm. All metal pistol, SA/DA with decocker/safety, finger grips, crappy sights and 2 15rd factory metal mags. I have already replaced some missing springs (maybe why I got it so cheap) and have not yet fired it. There is just something about an all metal pistol....vintage, sexy...I think I'll call her Zsa Zsa. http:// http://

  11. Just picked up a Dillon 550b from a member on here, some dies and powder from another TGO member and I can barely sit still with exictement  :rock: I have some of my Dad's old shell holder trays, powder funnels, 30-30 dies, and some odds and ends that I have to dig out and go through.   LukeE has been helping me along the way with decision making and every time I started straying towards something else, he steered me back. I'm so glad he did. I've got it started pretty well but going to wait for assistance setting the dies so I don't have to fix it later.   I've never reloaded before even though I spent many a night watching my Dad reload in his shop for 30-30, 30-06, .357 and .44 mag. What I did learn has long been forgotten since over 20 years have passed and I was mostly the case lube technician  :yuck: But I am so eager to get started and learn this process that I should have stuck with out of high school but didn't.   I picked up some primers and some .223 bullets today just because I'll need them but have several things left that I'll have to have.   Reloading manual  Caliper  Case lube media tumbler/ultrasonic cleaner or both Primer tray (may have one of my Dad's old ones) Electronic powder scale Case trimmer/deburring tool and primer pocket cleaner Hand primer (not necessary but a want more than need) Bullet puller 50 count ammo boxes and labels for data on each   Feel free to add anything I might have left off. I'm really excited about getting this press!

  13. This one is definitely just a talking piece. It's one of the first models that requires an update, and the company is so cheap they just put the parts in a bag in the box and you have to do the upgrade yourself. This thing is comical. They even make a silencer kit so you can mount one on it.

  15. The sky is falling threads are indeed fun lol :D   But i look at "prepping" as its called in a different way..i guess...   Most people do not prepare for sh1t, they have nothing to fall back on if anything other than the norm happens..I believe this is a idiot mentality to have no matter how good, or bad things are...   I don't have the sky is falling mentality, i just think it's always a good idea to have extra things needed for survival, several different ways of keeping warm, and typical creature comforts stocked up, no matter what the stock market looks like, or what the news is saying, or how hot or cold it's forecast to be...or whatever else may come...Things will always come along thru life that will test your preparedness status, so their really isn't any sense in worrying about which one it will be...just be generally prepared...   My advice, quit worrying about whatever they are harping about on the boob tube, enjoy life, and just simply always be prepared..:)

  16. There's never been a shortage in the excuse department on why we shot like Sh@t but it sure seems like it's getting to an all time high lately. So tell me some of your best excuses, I'll start. As I rounded the corner I noticed I had too fart, but with the hardees biscuit I had for breakfast I wasn't sure if it could be trusted. Then like clockwork I felt that pain, and had to finish the stage with a clenched ass and stiff legs.

  21. You've got to be ready for that. I took my Dodge Power Wagon to the top of lbl, of course I got some racing stripes along the way. But thats just a part of it. I took that Dodge up a lot of jeep trails, and it weighs about 2,000 pounds more than a raptor.... got a lot of funny looks at the top of those hills! Haha

  23. Its a San Tan Tactical receiver set with Lancer Systems carbon fiber handrail and A2 stock. I have a Proof Research carbon fiber barrel that will be going on it very soon too!    Yeah my next short instructional video will be on sight picture. I plan to use a shallow depth of field to show what should and shouldn't be in focus.

  24.   I think I have my trigger control pretty decent but I do need to work on my sight picture, I dry fire all the time at the house but need to get back to the range and shoot. I can keep them all in a paper plate at 25 yards(handgun), okay for defensive shooting but I need to tighten my groups.   BTW, enjoyed the video. Alot of these youtube firearms videos are very informative for new and older shooters.

  25. I missed the boat on these. When they first came out they were being sold with a street price of just over $500 ($530 I think was what I saw). As they started to become popular the price crept up. I’ve never got to shoot one though. I have owned a lot of 1911’s and have settled on two for now. I have a stainless Ruger SR1911 that I think is the best choice based on price. At $659 for a Stainless 1911 that’s pretty hard to beat. I also have a stainless Smith & Wesson SW1911 Target; it’s my top pick, but it’s going to run over a grand. There are many good choices out there on 1911’s.

  27. The holster is just one part of the "concealed carry" equation. You must have a GOOD belt to go with it. I opted for the Ares Gear Aegis belt and love it, so much that it's replaced my other belts as my every day wear.   http://www.aresgear.com/   I paired the belt with a custom made AIWB-CDAII holster (can be worn appendix or crossdraw) from JRC Customs. Not cheap, but when teamed with the Ares belt it totally hides my H&K P30, even under a t-shirt, and is very comfortable. I currently have Jim making me a OWB SSA holster so I'll have to option of carrying either way. Jim's holsters are not cheap, but for the quality and performance you can't beat them IMO.   http://www.jrcholsters.com/   Just my thoughts.... wish you luck in your quest.

  28. I wont be offended if you tell me this is a dumb idea or not. Back in basic in the early 80's before we went to the range we were made to dry fire our M16-A1's while balancing a big metal washer on the barrell, the trick was to hold the weapon steady and learn to pull the trigger without dropping the washer. The idea was to practice enough to where it becomes natural without thinking about it. I saw a video where this guy instructed concentrating on the front site of your handgun, he suggested if you have white 3 dot sights to take a fine line Sharpie and make a black line or mark on the big white dot of the front sight, just a little "trick" to help and it seems to help a little. Just a practice trick until it becomes natural. What if someone who has a bad habit of engaging the trigger with the bend of their finger wraps some tape just at the bend so they will notice and feel where their finger placement is? [b]Just for dry fire and some range practice[/b] until it comes natural to keep proper finger placement, a finger stop so to speak. It's natural to me now to keep the pad of my finger on the trigger but like your video shows it's not natural to some shooters, as a matter of fact it feels natural to engage the trigger with the knuckle bend at first, it takes practice to change that habit.

  30. In my experience I will have to agree with bersaguy, been there and while in uniform I was pretty much looked down upon.  Once we switched to civies it was like night and day.  Same experience in Italy, 180 once in civies, in Germany and Japan not so much treated the same, decent, in both while in uniform and civies.  One thing I did notice is that much of the attitude came from the younger generations, older folks were much nicer.  I don't know what it is, maybe they have had bad experiences with Americans in the past but I definitely noticed a difference.

  31. This is such bs. Go over there and talk to some of them. The ones that were there have never forgotten what the Americans did for them. What I would get sick of too is an American always having to bring that up after 70 years. I spend a lot of time over there and have never once been treated rudely by anyone. I also don't act like a know it all American, may have something to do with it. Sorry if I come across strong, but I find this to be a completely ignorant statement (in the literal sense of the term).

  32. The MS is a sometimes very dangerous river. And most 16 foot boats won't handle it. You need to work on some W TN contacts. Most prime duck hunting has long been spoken for. May be able to find a lease. Very hard to free lance on Reelfoot. Best advice is a guide and this will increase your safety and bag.

  39. Think about this.  These people are blaming legal handgun carry permit people for their problems in parks.  They are making a bigger deal out of handgun carry permits carrying than gang bangers carrying.  They think gang bangers carrying is just something that happens but throw a fit when an honest man is carrying to protect himself from the criminals.  I've never seen this much effort put into deterring criminals from carrying.

I like the way it looks although it's so different from my others, but I'm going to alternate the sponge technique, light spots on dark areas, and dark spots on light areas. I think it will mesh better.....at least I hope so anyway :up: And Roman doing a photo bomb in the background :rofl:

  46. Here is my solution, balance your household income into the normal buckets or envelopes of moneys, gas, elec, food, car payment, savings, Christmas, vacation, clothing, house, etc., in all seriousness, make sure what really matters is covered without exception!  Then do like I do, also have a bucket or envelope for "fun" separate from the Mrs. bucket or envelope for "fun".  Then the "fun" money you set aside, use it for fun.  Unfortunately, in my case the F was transposed with G, and I have a "gun" money bucket.  Its been this way for years, and it works.  Each year I set off to buy at least 1 or 2 new guns a year with my G money, problem is that I sell other items in my garage that I turn around and buy guns and gun stuff with, which in the end I end up buying 2 or 4 guns.    Layaways at Buds don't help!
