  1. If it makes you feel any better, there's a guy with a brand new Corvette in our neighborhood. Clearly he's got more money than sense, as yesterday he was out driving around the neighborhood and put it in the bushes going back up his driveway - and got it stuck at the same time. I guess he got it out though, because today I went into the office for a few minutes and saw that he had abandoned it in a ditch.

It's nothin more than shameless panderin to these single mothers who cant believe their little boys can grow up and turn in murderin, rapin, pillagin monsters... Guns aint the problem; absentee fathers, no fathers, and a matriarchial society that chooses to not to address the real problems are...    leroy

  5. Haha, she's not much. But no shedding and small poop. Ha. I dug the FJ out and drove around. It's a champ. But honestly the LR4 is unstoppable. It's active 4wd management makes it hard to get stuck if you tried. So we drove it most. I was shuttling people all over town.

  9.   It wasn't an order, it was a request, and a request the open carrier has no reason to acquiescent to.  Watch the second video down in the link (an LEO followed him to another business) and the LEO's flat out said that he told the business owners, "we can't order you to present your...ahh...permit." http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=667_1452648888   So, why the issue?  The open carrier was harassed by the LEO's because he dared to open carry a firearm, as he was qualified by his state to do. Respect goes both ways, once they disrespected the carrier, they lost his respect, as they would mine.  I also would have been just as uncooperative as the open carrier were I in his place.

  10. I would reverse that.  I think 45ACP will be easier to learn on (unless you already have the .380 dies).    .380 is much lighter wall,  much shorter and harder to handle (finger-wise).  Easier to crunch, and OAL is a bugger to set until you get acclimated.    BTW, If you plan to crimp, I suggest a set of Lee Factory Crimps on either.

  13. The problem with just obeying unlawful orders is that you make it OK if you voluntarily comply and then you have NO complaint to make. When you voluntarily comply then you have just willfully given up your rights to the bully cop and that negates your complaint. If I am truly in violation of the law I expect I WILL be arrested for that violation and go through the system, and rightly so,  but when I am breaking no laws and I am approached by officer friendly because he wishes to exert some of his perceived power over a law abiding citizen then that's when I stand up for my rights and don't voluntarily give them up so easily. I will be as polite as I can be all the while doing so. I also believe in my right to record such encounters, after all, cops don't lie, do they?

  14. Kind of off subject but what would happen or how would you act if you do not take your medications?   Not everyone who can own a firearm should own a firearm. I am not saying that is the case with you but you need to take a really hard, and honest, look at yourself to determine that. If YOU think you will be fine, and have not been committed or had a judge weigh in on your case, then buy the firearm. And by fine I mean when you can't or don't take your medications. A lot of people with mental conditions think they can stop taking their medications and that can end with bad results. If that describes what would happen if you quit taking your medications then you might take a really hard look at whether you should really be owning a firearm.   We just do not want anyone to use a firearm to harm themselves or others if it can be helped.   Good luck.

  17. I promote the 2nd by carrying, and supporting others who carry.  I don't support one method of carry over another.  Having said that, I don't think it advances the cause to be an ass about it, from either side.  Many, unfortunately on both sides, have agendas and all they want is confrontation for either publicity, for or against, the cause or attention seeking.

  20. My wife and I were sitting in our warm home enjoying the morning, and seeing the great view of the clean snow. Well we heard some activity out front. So I slid on my lackey and walked out to my neighbor and his 2 sons clearing the snow out of my walk and driveway. I was floored. He told me he was just paying back. He told me his mother lives up north and every time there is a snow. His mothers walks and drive is cleared for her by neighbors. Makes you understand there are still men in this world who know how to show their sons what values and character is. We are blessed

  24. Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. I may grab both sets of dies (planning on getting Lee deluxe kits that include the crimping die) and learn on .45, switch to the .380 after some guided loading on the .45. Thanks for the reply! Brandon

  26.   No where in your paper work does it say what gun you used.  The instructor in my case just recorded my score and that was it.  The only way someone would know is if they asked you and you told them.  Also the one thing the instructor was very clear on "You are responsible for every bullet and where it goes" that means it doesn't matter if you qualified with a .22lr or a you managed to get your hands on a THUNDER .50 BMG Pistol and used that.  A stray bullet that goes someplace you didn't mean it to go will get you into trouble no matter what.    Thanks Robert

  27. Our water heater went on the fritz and was leaking on Wednesday, so we called the people that put it in 5 short years ago to replace it under warranty.  They got here this morning and had the new one in, in about 1.5 hours. Our hot water pressure had been about half of what it should be but the new water heater didn't fix the low pressure problem. The galvanized water pipes to our water heater and the washer was under or in the slab for the last 6 feet. The plumber crawled under the house and finally figured out the hot water pipe was broken/rotted under or in the slab. After about 5 hours of work, they ran new pipes another way and abandoned the ones in the slab and it fixed the problem. Wife and I went to eat a bite and came home a couple of hours later and the house was about 60 degrees. I checked the unit and the fan motor was bad and I had no place to get one until Monday. I now have a kerosene heater and two oil filled heaters keeping us warm. Life since Wednesday has been a challenge to say the least, but I'm hoping for things to return to normal after I install the new motor on Monday. Sucks to be me right now....LOL. Of course, things can always be worse.

  32. The OCers may be trolling with a baited hook, but the officers are under no obligation to take that bait. Everyone involved is responsible for their own actions. That's what folks on both sides tend to miss. The OCer in the video is an asshole, and so is the cop using the power of his position to harass someone who's sole crime is being an asshole. There is no good guy in that video.

  33. If I have a vice, a hammer, a hacksaw, a grinder and a file available, odds are pretty good that I am going to be in a place that already secured by a deadbolt or better. Which while still only marginal, would at least take two kicks instead of one.   Locks are for honest people.

  34. I get that they aren't doing anything illegal but as someone said earlier (and I'm highly paraphrasing here); openly carrying, especially in a very public place, is somewhat like baiting a hook, throwing it into the water and then complaining when you catch a fish.  If an open carrier is going to go fishing that way there is no benefit to anyone by being unnecessarily confrontational.

  35. SB1736 is a bad bill that will not make any movement.  A bill that adds liability to a business over a no gun sign will not go anywhere.  Why even write a bill like this when you can write a bill to just remove the criminal charge of the sign law?       The easier solution would be to just get rid of the sign law or heavily modify it into a trespassing issue instead of a weapons charge.  If you fix the sign law, then people would be able to legally carry in a lot more places.  You can say just avoid a business all you want, but people forget that these signs are legally binding at any local or state government building and places like hospitals where people often have to go   Think about this.  There are more than just private businesses that have legally binding signs.  There are a lot of places that you have no choice in going but must go, like a hospital or local/state government office.  If the sign law was changed and you were concealing, you would not have any problems and be legal. when at those places.  If you are not good at concealing and being quiet, then you'd be asked to leave.  When you cause a scene and don't leave, then it is trespassing.  That is how most of the country operates except for TN and a few other states.

  36. Either way, I'd sure like to see the sign law neutered in some fashion.  The park law last year opened up a lot of places for legal carry and neutering the sign law would do the same thing.

  37. I would remove both the criminal charge and the fine for people with handgun carry permits.  Missouri, for example, only turns the signs into an issue if you fail to leave when asked to leave, and even then it is only a 100 dollar fine.  Missouri's sign law makes the busy body politicians feel like they are doing something but in fact it helps people with permits.  You can even carry on school property legally in Missour until someone notices you carrying and asks you to leave.  That is a lot better than Tennessee.   Change the wording to something like this:   Carrying of a concealed firearm in a location specified in subdivisions (1) to ( 17) of subsection 1 of this section by any individual who holds a concealed carry permit issued pursuant to sections 571.101 to 571.121 shall not be a criminal act but may subject the person to denial to the premises or removal from the premise

  38. I'd push for getting rid of the fine for no gun signs and also school property carry.  I think the no gun sign law modification would be easier to get politically than school property carry.

  40. Here's a new wrinkle:   VA GOP May Strip McAuliffe Of His Protective Detail Over Concealed Carry Virginia’s radically anti-gun Governor and Attorney General were probably quite pleased with themselves when they spitefully severed concealed carry agreements with 25 states, including all but one of its neighbors. They probably didn’t anticipate the backlash they’ve received, which includes calls to recall or impeach Attorney General Mark Herring, and pushes for legislation that will both strip elected officials of the ability to make such unilateral decisions, and get a little payback. Herring’s announcement came three weeks before the start of the General Assembly session, which is controlled by Republicans. In November, a bill was filed that would require Virginia to recognize permits from other states. If approved, it would reverse Herring’s ruling. Carrico said he’ll address the issue come January. “A lot of the governor’s power is deferred to the General Assembly at that point and I’ll be getting with my collegues to circumvent everything this governor has done on this point,” he said. “I have a budget amendment that I’m looking at to take away his executive protection unit. If he’s so afraid of guns, then I’m not going to surround him with armed state policemen.” http://bearingarms.com/va-gop-may-strip-mcauliffe-protective-detail-concealed-carry/
