Last year I had the "flu". Several ways that it manifested itself was in respiratory distress and a loss of the ability to taste or smell, which still bothers me today. I was sick for weeks. I've also met several others that had similar symptoms. I'm convinced that the covid virus has been circulating for a while.....

People list on Facebook Marketplace all the time by calling it a case. They will say Glock Case, $500 with no mention of the gun.

Life pulled me away for a bit, work, stress, you know the usual. But I did do a few things this year so far. Traded in my Boulevard for a sweet Katana and got my brother on two wheels as well with a new MT-03. Sold my subaru crosstrek and got me a bmw x3 (manual, had to drive to baltimore to pick it up). Paid off all the debt that I could and been saving money since. Almost forgot this forum even existed. (I did a quick peak at the politics section and that was enough for me). After all of this, I might just reward myself with a new pistol before the end of the year. I think I will pick up a nice glock 19. And before you guys ask, the flag was a hold over from the subaru. Didnt want to get rid of it. https://i.imgur.com/lDhYZ8g.mp4

How they got there is irrelevant. Its a job, same as garbage men and ditch diggers. You were elected to enforce the laws on the books, not as your political preference dictates. Same for cops. Voluntarily put yourself in that position. If you're willing to let your personal opinions affect whether you do your job or not, you shouldn't be in that position. I believe that was Link2ks point?

Brown liquor is an acquired taste. You have to keep at it! Enjoyed this one quite a bit! Won't replace single malts, but a nice sipping whiskey.

Thanks for sharing Links2k, I'm glad you elaborated to your original comment. I do agree with your stance in principle. As with many professions (teachers come to mind?), if you can't do the job right, time to find another one! Does the same argument apply to district attorneys? Say you agree with BLM protesters, does that give one the right to selectively enforce the law as written on the books? You can get off of a looting, rioting, or assault charges in some jurisdictions, but not others, based on the political inclinations of the mayor and DA. Is it not the jury's job to determine guilt or innocence (for which they don't even get a paycheck)? The apathy that we are talking about is directly caused by the above. Why bother putting yourself in harms way for a paycheck, when the person who's paycheck is based on their ability to prosecute said arrestee, willfully and deliberately (*for political reasons*) refuses to do their job? Lack of evidence? Sure, don't prosecute. Improper procedures? Sure, don't prosecute. No Miranda rights? Damn well better not prosecute.... Agree with protesters political bent? Nope, sorry, his ass still belongs in jail. Just my 2 cents. I don't speak for others, but think many feel the same way. It is what's at the root of much that is dividing our nation today, and I thank you for engaging in rational discourse about an emotional topic! This kind of peaceful debate is a cornnerstone of modern intellectual societies. This is how we move forward on touchy subjects, by being polite and articulating our opinions and feelings. - K

Pretty close. I’m like a kid when I go to the store. If I see something I want; I get it. Because unlike a kid; I have full authority to buy. My wife is the coupon lady to hate to be behind when you check-out. So our conversations usually go something like this… Me: “I want this (as I put it in the cart)” Her: “Do you know what those cost? I don’t have a coupon.” Me: I don’t care what they cost, and you not having a coupon is poor planning on your part.” So she usually stops at the store on her way home from work. I must say though, that I’m pretty proud of her couponing. She can buy massive amounts of groceries and spend $50. If I spend $50, its usually one bag that’s very easily carried.

I prefer Scotch when it’s time to drink whisky. Makes me feel all fancy like a gentleman.

Well, from what I understand from the article, what the old time Moonshiners made was pretty much bourbon, whiskey, moonshine, whatever you want to call it. It was made out of corn mostly.

I am just the opposite. I do not like Irish Whisky or Scotch but love bourbon.

I was actually fixing to pick up a sky redline but then it got sold before I could buy it. So the X3 was a fallback. Having a six speed again is nice, but I have to deal with the 2.5l instead of the 3.0l that I wish it had. Now, all I need to do is pay off the Katana and I will be free. (BMW was bought cash)

My condolences. And let me say...yehaw....more for me.....

DA’s are elected and they do not answer to anyone but the voters. They cannot be fired for not doing their job. They can be impeached, but without criminal acts; that almost impossible. Sheriffs are also elected and usually do not answers to Mayors or city councils. Police Chiefs usually answer to Mayors or city government. Depending of course on how state laws are setup. The Chief Law Enforcement Officers need to be held responsible when buildings are being burned and people are being hurt in criminal action. Miranda is a whole separate discussion. Probably one of the most talked about and least understood practices in law enforcement. Rights come with responsibility and people should understand them.

A friend of mine passed along to me a bit of that JD Angel’s Portion. I knew I was going to hate it but he insisted. I almost threw up. It was effing awful. Like an IPA, there’s a level of masochism that one must possess to drink that swill. I just don’t hate myself enough to drink it.

Oh, I’m not saying you should feel sorry for them because of what’s happening, or that they are justified in their failure to act. If you have read my others posts I have said I believe (or hope) that eventually those failing to act will be held accountable. I don’t think you are intentionally cop bashing. you are just agreeing with a narrative that is a lie. Do you think cops are hunting blacks? Did all your cop friends and relatives treat blacks different than whites. Of course, I realize that’s no more a fair question of you than me commenting on how blacks feel. I don’t know what its like to be black and unless you have worked the streets as a cop, you don’t know what that’s like, or how your friends treated people on the street. I feel sorry for us, and the overwhelming percentage of cops that do their job properly. I am a law and order type that hates violence. Thugs that threaten people with violence or commit violence against them should go to prison. That applies to everyone, cops included. But they are dealt with on a case by case basis. I have zero compassion for someone that threatens or attacks a citizen or a cop with violence and gets killed….Zero. No one forced them to take that path. Some cases are questionable, and we have a legal system to deal with that; they will be tried by a jury of their peers. As I’ve said here many times prior to all this happening. We don’t have a justice system, we have a legal system. You will get exactly as much justice as you can afford. Buts that not based on race. Its based on rich and poor. If you are poor and can’t afford a good attorney the system will mow you over. It happens everyday to whites also. I have plenty of ideas on how to address Police issues, but I don’t know how to address the issue of any race not having access to the top legal representation. I made no judgments based on a person politics. And I have no idea why a friend of yours wouldn’t want to answer that question. I’m more than willing to answer or discuss any question anyone has. You may not like my answer, and you may not agree with my viewpoint, but I’m willing to discuss it here or in person with anyone. However, my point was that as qualified people turn away from law enforcement, and who could blame them; you will get a lower caliber of Officer. I remember when Nashville Metro PD said they couldn’t get enough candidates locally that could pass a background check so they were instituting a more vigorous out of state search. They only way they will be able to get around that is lowering their standards. When cops use justified force against criminals; their department and the public should back them, and that’s what happens in most cases. When force isn’t justified; they should be charged the same as anyone else. But they sure shouldn’t be charged because of the race of the person they used force against; that’s racism in its purest form. Every shooting whether it be a cop, or a citizen protecting themselves or their family is different. It all boils down to a “reasonable person fearing immediate danger of death or great bodily harm”. The “reasonable person” standard is a Judge or jury, I don’t see how that can change. Do some procedures need to change? Absolutely. But they are generally by Department. Not all Police Departments are equal.

Yeah, outlawing it will cure all of society’s problems.

All lives quit mattering when abortion was “legalized”.

Took your advice Brother... I like em... Got the diamond arpeture rear and the HK post... Cant wait ta get some ammo loaded n try em out...! Thanks again ta " All Ya'll "... leroy

That's actually incorrect. An NFA item is only NFA when configured as such. This only applies to pistols that are made into SBRs though. The registry doesn't affect the configuration. If I want to transport my PCC across state lines, I can simply take the stock (and/or VFG) off of it and it is in pistol configuration. This has been verified by many with the ATF. A rifle made into an SBR, can not be converted into a pistol since it was never a pistol.

I am all about gun safety and the safety of children. While I can understand that the state needs to make sure that a home is fit for a child, it would be my opinion that what I do with my guns in my house is none of the damn business. If you do not have sense enough to be a responsible parent without the government telling you how to do it, then you don't need to be a parent at all.

Welcome back! Manual X3? Only one in North America? Japanese flag, German vehicle, you probably need an Italian pistol or loafers to complete the vibe. Debt free is awesome, congratulations.
