My next .22 is going to be a tube feed. Can't decide though if I want another bolt action or a Model 60. Will the Model 60 shoot shorts, longs and LR? That may be the deciding factor. If not I may go look for an old Winchester or Remington. I believe those will.

They aren't $65 anymore either!

I guess I look at like this. Ground your kids with the basics and they will be ok, regardless of what they are being taught in school. I know several kids that have just finished or are finishing up over at UTK and for the most part, they are either moderate or conservative thinkers. Only one or two are what I consider to be liberal.

I got to meet David Keith and his wife. My daughter and theirs have the same Eye Doctor. Very nice people. When I was in High School, I also got to meet Archie Campbell. He lived in Powell. We had a Talent show and he MCed it, really super nice guy. I heard later on that he was hell to do business with, but he was real friendly to all the kids there. If you lived in Knoxville, you all know who Robin Wilhoit and Bill Williams are. My kids went to day care with Robin's kid. It was strange seeing her in sweats. Bill Williams Grandson played on my son's baseball team. Bill came to all the games. He's a really nice guy! He does a lot for the community around Knoxville. When I was in ROTC at UT in the early 80's, I got to work security for a couple of concerts. I was one of the people on Lionel Richie's dressing room and the Pointer Sisters' dressing room at Stokely. Just got to meet him briefly. He mostly hungout in his tour bus. The Pointer Sisters were a hoot! They wanted one of our Security Tee Shirts for their collection. Let me tell you though, those ladies could make a sailor blush with their language! But they were fun! Also worked Security for The Police Concert that same year... front stage at that. Man, after that I wanted to be a Rock n' Roll Singer! I never saw was many boobs in one spot in my life! Sting must have had 20 bras on the stage and just as many Hotel Room Keys! It was a short lived dream, unfortunately. A couple of celebrities I would like to meet are Alison Krauss and Dan Tyminski. I love AKUS!!! The whole band seems like they are really nice people! Steelharp, I want to hang with you! You get to meet all the cool people!!!

I think of him more as an infected hemorrhoid.

Did you all see that Mayor Michael Bloomberg has now gotten into the act. He called a press conference yesterday to push for repeal of all SYG Legislation across the country. Never misses a chance to get his name in the limelight does he.

Inbreeding is not a problem if your eating or selling the offspring before they breed.

Very nice!!!

After being led around like a bull with a ring in his nose, I quit posting here. I go back and forth on this whole case. I've about quit reading about it. But my take on the last three days is... A. The Prosecutor probably didn't take it to the Grand Jury because she didn't think she could win an indictment. B. The Prosecutor is under a lot of pressure to prosecute this case from many different sources. C. We do not know what really happened and we probably never will, based on what we have read and heard in the press. D. My personal feeling is this needs to go to court. E. Zimmerman is/was an idiot. F. Al Sharpton still has a bigger ego than Don King had hair. E. I'd say the odds are in Zimmerman's favor, unless there is evidence we haven't seen (which is a total turnaround from what I believed when I last posted here) or his Lawyers are complete morons.

Nice looking knife! OS has got me started at looking at these PRC knives. I like the Navy 631. Seen them on EBAY for around $20. Holding off though since I just bought the Kershaw Clash about 3 weeks ago. I'm looking to buy a new hat first.

Santorum did the right thing. This didn't need to go on any longer. Romney is the man, whether we like him or not. Time to get behind him. Now if Gingrich and Paul would just pull out and let's get started on putting Obama out of office!

I like my carbon steel 1075 and 1095 blades, the best. But my Kershaw Clash in 8cr13mov is a damned fine blade for $22. I think just about every major knife maker uses very good steel, now-a-days. My liking the carbon steels is because they are easy to sharpen and easy to keep sharpened. A lot of people don't like the fact that they are hard to keep "shiny". Me, I don't care. I like a good patina on a knife. Tells me it working knife and well loved. My knives are like my guns. I got no safe queens. They are all used.

I wish they would make these again. They were a great little rifle! I traded for one back I think 80's. It was a fun rifle to shoot. I like them better than the Ruger 10/22.

Outside of my Colt Peacemaker in .22LR, the Ruger MkII with a bull barrel is the most versatile fun pistol I've ever shot.

I don't think that's going to be a problem unless he picks someone like Christy. Then people like me will not vote for him.

Sweet! I love Colt revolvers! Wish I had one of these to go with my Agent!

I know of none, Mike. The thing that gets me is, if your carrying concealed, how are they going to know, if you are carrying or not? To me, these things are like blinders for idiot, anti gun people.

Friend of mine just bought one this week at Academy Sports. They are $449 there.

You can't go wrong with a good revolver. I really like the new crop of lightweight revolvers from Ruger, S&W and Taurus in .38. I have an old .38 Colt Agent, which weights in at 16oz and is quite comfortable being carried in the pocket of my khaki pants or a coat.

I've had a couple of .380s, including a Sig230. I was never happy with the round and ultimately I ended up with a Colt Agent .38spl., which I've had for over 10 years now. It's 16oz (empty) and is very accurate and never has a problem with extraction. A good friend of mine was looking for a new pistol after getting her HCP. I steered her toward either a LCR .38spl or a S&W 442. After much research she purchased the LCR. Revolvers go bang every time. I've never had one fail on me and I've had quite a few. Can't say the same about .380 autos. They ain't sexy, but sexy ain't what I'm looking for in a small concealable pistol. I got a wife for that!

My top three choices for VP, would be West, Haley and Rubio. West brings a lot to the table. He is a retired Army officer with several combat deployments under his belt. He is an educator and a Tea Party Favorite. He is also a Conservative African American. The one con sure to come out if he were chosen is that when he retired as a LT. Col. in the Army he was under investigation for his conduct during interrogations of enemy combatants. But he has also won an election in Florida and that had to have been hashed out there, at least to some extent. I've heard him on the radio some and he is an excellent, thoughtful speaker. He would be my first choice. Rubio is also a Tea Party darling and Hispanic. That could be a real plus with the Latino vote and could go along way to helping Romney win this election. He has some issues too, though. He has a couple of controversies dogging him. He has a foreclosure on a house in Tallahassee when he was a Florida State Congressman. And he told a little fib about being the son of Cuban Exciles. Actually, his parents left Cuba about 3 years before Castro came to power. That hasn't actually endeared him to the Cuban majority in Florida. Those two things will surely come out during a Presidential Election and get hammered by the media. Haley is obviously a woman and nice looking to boot! She is another Tea Party favorite, but has had mixed results in South Carolina and she won a personally bruising election for Governor. To me, that means she is tough as nails, considering all the rumors of infidelity she faced. That has to be one of the biggest mud slinging contests I've ever seen! I believe she is of Indian (as in India) descent. Since Romney is seen to be trailing with the women's vote, she could be a real shot in the arm for his campaign. I think she is a much better choice than Palin, as I believe her to be smarter. If she is the choice, then look for all that old dirt from the SC Governor race to come back up. I might add that a lot of the crap came from within the Republican party down there. My personal opinion is that if Romney Picks Christy, I will not vote. I'm already going to hold my nose vote for a Northeast Rhino. An Anti-2nd Amendment Christy would be way to much to swallow. I'll just hope that the Republicans can stay in control of the House and take control of the Senate.

You should let Mr. Ramsey know that.

I am not shocked. Harwell and Ramsey are not our friends, except when they want votes. Time for some house cleaning!

Awesome looking blades! Congratulations!

SKy, I totally agree with you on this. I was just voicing my support for the Hunter's addition too. I have to agree with others here about half loaves and for more and more people getting their HCP! I'm ok with the bill as is, if it will pass. But I would like to have my cake with a little icing on occasion!
