Hearing that LE searched a home, presumably the Shooter's residence and that another body has been found.  CBS News is reporting that the shooter is young and that he is originally from out of state (NJ), but lived in the area.

Ms. Harwell, who let you on this board?

Man that looks sharp!!! I'd love to have one of those. It's hard to find a good wool coat anymore. Everything is synthetic, now a days.

Mine weren't scary sharp and I'm not that impressed with how well they hold an edge either. But they are pretty handy to have around. My Rough Rider Copperhead holds an edge better. Of course, it's harder to sharpen too.

I'd recommend purchasing a Saiga in whatever caliber you want (5.45x39,.223, 7.62x39 to .308). They usually start around $375 and go up. It's an undressed AK. You can make back into an AK for around another $150 or leave it in that configuration and spend the extra money on ammunition. Personally, I would purchase one along with the ammo and save up and buy my new parts a bit at a time.

I have two SAKs setting right by my chair as I type this. One is the Swiss Champ and the other is a Tinker. I intend to purchase a Wenger Standard Issue (Wenger on the bottom of wjh2657's pic above) or a Victorinox Farmer. The Farmer is almost considered to be an essential part of any Bushcrafter's kit these days! My EDC almost everyday is a 1979 Camillus U.S. Knife with about 6-ft of orange 550 paracord for a lanyard.The U.S, Knife is our military's version of the SAK Standard Issue.

First of all, if you are planning on carrying gear, food and water for two people, then you need two packs and each pack should have all the needs for the person who is carrying it. Second, where are you trying to get too and how long will it take you to walk there? From that, you can figure out how much food and water you will have to carry with you. Mine is set up for 72 hours and I call it a Get Home Bag. It's just in 3600 cu in range.

Lot of smoke too! Makes your wonder how they fought with those things! After the first two shots, you would have a hard time seeing your opponent!

Sweet! Nice looking hawg leg!!!

[quote name='Oh Shoot' timestamp='1354578899' post='854467'] The gun is chambered for .357mag, weenie. - OS [/quote] Poor weenie to you, kind sir!!! A 100 rounds of Remington .357 125gr SJHP was $50! That was what I was originally going for. I've got a bunch of 38 brass. Plan on buying some bullets and primers and getting a friend to reload them for me. Looking at .357 rifles on Gunbroker now!!! This is getting expensive!!!

[quote name='mikegideon' timestamp='1354506202' post='854080'] Thanks. They have a pretty good holster selection in the Midway site. Not all cowboy style...[/quote] I know! I picked one out last night!!! http://www.midwayusa.com/product/327105/hunter-1090-single-loop-crossdraw-holster-right-hand-colt-single-action-army-ruger-old-army-blackhawk-vaquero-4-3-4-to-5-1-2-barrel-leather-antique-brown Went by Wallyworld and picked up a 100 round box of .38spl +P 124 SJHP for $34! I'm ready for Saturday to roll around!!!

I will be sure to check her out, OS! Thanks for the info! That is the type of holster I am looking for. The cowboy holsters are bit too flamboyant for me. I wouldn't mind a cross draw though. Mikegideon, that is a great looking pistol there!

I brought home a "new to me" pistol this afternoon and let the kids handle it. Took the time to explain gun safety again for the 1099th time (You can't do it enough!). And talked about how the the whole thing worked, until they got a glazed over look on their face. Then let them move on. I don't want there to be any mystery about my firearms. If they have a question about one, then we set down and talk about it and check it out. Promised my son we'd go to the range this weekend if possible. Time to blast some .22 and some .38's in this new pistol!

What is a good inexpensive holster for a Ruger Blackhawk in 4 5/8" barrel? I don't really want a western style, but I would like leather. I'd like to keep it around $30 if possible.

Sweet! Pretty dang good looking knives!!!

[quote name='analog_kidd' timestamp='1354405365' post='853551'] I have a feeling this is being blown up because it was her "Service Weapon". Had it been a personally owned handgun there probably wouldn't have been as much of a to do. Stupid all the same, a gun is a gun. [/quote] I suspect the mother and father are in the middle of a custody dispute and the dad saw a chance to stir the pot. Total BS!

What about a bugout bag for each with some necessities like paracord, a small stove, water bottle, etc,etc...

I have a Colt Single Action Peacemaker .22, that I love! It will be my son's one of these days. When go to the range, that's the one he wants to shoot. I also have a Pietta 1858 Remington .44 BP revolver. And tomorrow, I am purchasing a Ruger Blackhawk conversion in .357/9mm. I've been wanting one for years and a buddy is finally selling it. He texted me this afternoon and told me it was mine. Can't wait to get it!!!

[quote name='Fingersoup' timestamp='1354315237' post='853084'] In your proposal, can the Libertarians and Independents have their own island? [/quote] I'd be for that!!!

[quote name='GoneBallistic' timestamp='1354163170' post='852284'] Yeah I like to tell myself that I value function over form but the look and feel of a Hi-point are hard to deal with even though I've heard quite a lot of good about them. I have a friend who has one that I hopefully will get to shoot this weekend. I am still considering Kel-tec but as far as I know they don't make a .45 so thats a con from my perspective. Anyone ever shot a Kriss? [/quote] Hi-Point does make a .45acp. There were several at the gunshow last weekend, here in Knoxville. Here is a link... http://www.hi-pointfirearms.com/carbines/carbines_45caliber.html

Amazing purchase!!! Congratulations!!!

[quote name='TripleDigitRide' timestamp='1353734098' post='849949'] Our elected officials don't know what to think. In one hand they have the pro-2A crowd, in the other hand they have the filthy rich business owners. They're running around like chickens with their heads out off, trying to figure out which group can benefit them the most. [/quote] I can easily answer that and so can Maggart. The ones with the most voters on their side. There is an easy way to cut Harwell off at the legs. It's a bit odorous but it might be necessary if she doesn't see reason. Simply stop voting for Republican candidates in the house. Withdraw the support for one term and they will get the message loud and clear when the Democrats take back over. Then in the next election cycle, vote them back in, but only the ones with a pro-second amendment bent. Who knows, we might even get some pro-second amendment Democrats voted in. There are some out there.

Get him a 20ga single or pump. I like the Youth Mossbergs in pumps and the H&Rs in a single shot. Rossi makes a decent 20 ga single too.

Personally, I'm not sure I would be worried too much about legalities in a SHTF situation. My guess is if you get caught carrying a weapon of any sort and we are under some sort of Marshall Law, they will arrest you any way.

The advantage of a bow over a firearm in a SHTF situation, is in hunting, not fighting. The bow gives you the ability to hunt relatively silently and not waste valuable defense ammunition for your firearms or let anyone know where you are. But you need to learn to make new arrows and bows at the same time, otherwise it's a limited resource too.
