My 18 year old son Ashton saved his friend's life by performing CPR on him and bringing him back to life after he was drowned and under water for several minutes . I love my son and I am just being a proud Daddy . Here he is getting a Life Saver award from the County Mayor .

Gentlemen, TGO Striders are now being Built! those of you who got in on this one are going to love these!

That's true. I just don't understand the mentality of those dissing Trump because of his commentary on many different issues; telling us how bad he "might" be for the country. But yet we have Hillary, proven to be a liar and a lawbreaker(If you believe the FBI), and people of all interests are raving over her. Even within the gun community. How many times do we need to listen to her comments on the Constitution, not just the 2nd Amendment, to understand what she plans for this country?

How is it that limiting a guns capacity is beloved by liberals but limiting the term of politicians is not? I know which one is far more dangerous!

The only way I'm stopping is if the SOB wrecks me. There are waaaay to many people out there that need anger management classes and drugs. Besides...I'm an feeble old man that is in constantly in fear for my life so.....

It will be the people looking for food that will kill you a lot quicker than that.

If you find yourself in a position that you need food with that kind of shelf-life you won't be around long enough to eat it.

I was going to post a pic or two until I saw gr8smiles collection......then I just put mine away. Those are some awesome pieces!

It's about taking away the power of the people. They would rather eliminate the firearms industry all together if they could. Jobs don't matter, that means more people dependent on the government through welfare, food stamps, and whatever other programs there are. They only care about furthering their power not the country or its people.

One of the main things of my post is that American workers will lose their jobs. Yes we are a gun forum and club and we love guns but we also love our country and our jobs. If Hilary bans all this stuff she will put good American jobs in danger .

This pussified land is getting insane.

I only have one but it's a good one. 1963 19-2

Make that TRY to kill me and it would be more correct. I live ten miles from the nearest TINY town, twenty miles from a SMALL town, fifty miles from an actual city. Around me are lots and lots of armed red-necks with a distrust of the federal government that extends back to what they call the War of Northern Aggression. If I could DESIGN a bug-out location, I could not come up with a better one. Oh - wait - I DID design this one, 36 years ago when we moved here! And yes indeed - a few packets of garden seeds in the freezer is a FINE idea - and make sure they are NOT the hybrid stuff but will produce seeds that can be planted the NEXT year - PLUS - I do not hunt, and do not allow hunting. As a result, our place is filled with deer, turkey, rabbits, squirrels, dove, quail, etc. and all of it tame enough for me to harvest with a knife if I needed to. THIS is my long term meat storage plan. Keeping warm is another issue. We have a 500 gallon propane tank which will get us through one winter. Beyond that, I can rig a wood burning heater in place of the propane stove. But burning wood sends up that nice column of smoke - an advertisement that there is PROBABLY FOOD HERE, so an additional reason for arms and ammunition. I pray that NONE of these preparations are ever needed -

Um... Shouldn't there be some pictures in this thread by now?? I love my S&W model 13-3 I have the original grips too, but I like shooting it with these.

I love the fact that with my Marlin 1894 in 357 mag I practically can't miss a target at 100 yards with iron sights, standing up, off hand ! It it is my FAVORITE gun to shoot.

I'm with Garufa. Look around at most people.....If something that catastrophic happens lack of meds and medical care will kill more Americans than lack of food will. Then disease outbreaks and loss of sanitation will take a whole lot more.

Not at all! Got a Dan Wesson Bruin 6.3" 1911 10MM coming in tomorrow! YES!

The accounts of all winners have been updated! I want to again thank the generous folks who made this possible. It's amazing the type of community that we have here at TGO. Not many places will you find people doing things like this for those who are frequently complete strangers. You ALL are the reason why TGO is the best forum on the Internet. Thanks again for making TGO what it is!

Ha, read the title and thought they caught Bill Clinton on top of Nancy Pelosi.

And yet there are some who are ostensibly on our side (or at least claim to be) who would rather see her win than Trump......

^This. It is NOT ok to run low octane fuel in all vehicles. Some manufacturers are absolutely serious about the need to run 93 octane or higher. Run 87 in some of the cars I was toying with this weekend and you be looking at a new $50K engine after the detonation under boost trashed the pistons.

Hey, that's awesome! You should be proud. Here are prayers for his friend's recovery.

Fixed it for you.

Lol. I guess there are no shadow emojis either because people would be afraid of that too. The world is getting silly. I admit, I didn't even realize it was there because I don't have an iphone, but I guess anyone missing it can just attach it anyway...

Gr8.... It's time to appoint you the curator and resident authority on the great model 27 smith.. You have the greatest collection of em ive ever seen anywhere brother... They are my favorite "N" frame smith... They were built with more attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship than any of the other smiths; and that's a pretty tall accomplishment... They are all beautiful... Thanks for takin the time to post photos of these beautiful pieces of history and genuine proven "birth certificate revocation tools"... With great awe and admiration, leroy

I have several, but this one is my favorite. Pre lock model 60

I may have just said some bad words under my breath...

Yeah, they're like rabbits, lol.

anymore?

I think you meant to say you're "Gonna build you're first one". I think several in this group will agree that once you build one there will be another and another and.......

LOL... "Goat Love Call"

Naw, I don't like 10mm either... Thats my Glock 40, Glock 20 and Guncrafters No Name Melonite. Now I just need a Glock 29 to round out the collection.

Discovery is releasing Harley and the Davidsons in September. Whether the true story or a fun version, the adverts look pretty cool.

You did a good job raising that lad and obviously he paid attention. He accomplished a great thing and will remember it for the rest of his life. Congratulations to you both.

I think her first interest is all about her by making history as the first woman president, then about taking America towards the ideals and dreams of her mentor and idol Saul Alinsky by any means and at all costs. http://freebeacon.com/politics/the-hillary-letters/

Very well done to him... and to Dad!

Nice! I just have a lonely G20 gen4. I just put some ameriglo spartan sights on it. I really enjoy shooting this gun! Been loading it with Underwood 200gr, and it groups tight. It's my woods carry. I see a G29 in my future.

I agree with storing food to a certain extent. Anything with a 40 year shelf life probably doesn't equal food in my book. I'm learning to garden this year because I'm pretty good at hunting and fishing right now. My family has 2-3 weeks of food right now and we are adding more with each trip to the store. Same with cases of water.

1 year, maybe 2 is about all you can get out of rotating your stock of commonly used foods. Longer than that and you need the air tight long term storage of beans, rice, etc. Practicaly speaking though, the longest I have heard of is 7-10 years storage. Pretty much have to rotate your stock beyond that, which you should be doing anyways. Realistically though, 2 years is really about all you NEED. Whatever time SHTF, use your stocks to survive until spring. Then you should be planting a garden and hunting in the fall and winter and/or raising animals. You can't store enough food to survive indefinitely. You have to replenish somehow. This is assuming it's a permanent TEOTWAWKI. If it's a temporary SHTF or a regional disaster, temporary stocks are fine until supply lines are back in order.

I think it's a good idea to have a combination of both. I would't not buy a lot of long term food at one time instead I would maybe buy $100/year of 25 year+ food for a few years and then continue to do what you are doing. The buying of canned food in the way you are buying is more of a short term plan that depends on the ability to be able to replenish your supply. Where the long term food comes in is when you get in a situation where you can't resupply. If you buy a little here and there you spread the expiration date out over time and it's a little easier to spread the expense over time.

Because we probably all know at least one person whom we think takes the tactical lifestyle a little too far...

A good test of CCW skills is the 3M Drill. Tom Givens uses this and it is actually a variation on the original "DTI Dance" from John Farnam. You will need.... IDPA target 5 yards away. Electronic timer. 9 live rounds and a dummy round. 1 spare mag. Pistol is loaded with 6 live rounds and 1 dummy round (1 live round in chamber and 5 live and 1 dummy in magazine. Dummy is not the 1st or last round in the mag.) Spare mag on belt (or however you carry it) loaded with 3 live rounds. Shooter starts holstered with hands up in front of chest . At the buzzer you will sidestep, draw and shoot until gun malfunctions. Sidestep as you clear the malfunction (tap/rack) and keep shooting until slide lock. At slide lock sidestep , emergency reload, and fire 3 rounds. The side steps are so you are not standing still in the same spot clearing or reloading while the bad guy is theoretically shooting at you. Scoring is Pass/Fail. Any round outside the -0 zone (8" circle in the chest of IDPA target) = Fail. Failure to move on the draw, on the malfunction clearance or on the reload = Fail. Failure to tap before racking the slide on the malfunction clearance = Fail The "par time" is 15 seconds for students, 12 seconds for instructors. Of course the faster the better, but those are the "official" par times. Instead of pass/fail you can also score it with the Comstock method counting hits in the -0 as 5pts, hits in the -1 as 3pts and hits in the -3 as 0pts. Also subtract a 10pt penalty for any miss . This will generate an actual score vs simply passing or failing. So you would add up your points and then divide by time and then multiply that number x 30 . So a perfect 45 points (9x5=45) shot in 12 seconds (45/12 = 3.75 x 30 ) would give a score of 112.5 . According to Tom Givens a 100 is "very good work" and a 125 or higher is "extremely high skill".
