Do any of you AR guys familiar with this trigger option. $395.00 seems like a lot. Just wondering if it is worth it. http://tacconautotrigger.com

Sullivan County is a big county so it depends what part you will live in. I have one on my property and have had no issues. Amber Torbett lives one mile from me and she has been to my house many times.(we buy eggs from her daughter). I have nobody that lives close to me to complain. The closest has his own range also.

I guess I missed the part of the story where GZ attacked Martin and Martin was just defending himself. I actually thought Martin was the one that attacked GZ. I never really thought about attacking someone that was following a innocent person around. I think if I was Martin and worried about GZ I would have run and hide or run home where I new I would be safe. Circling around and jumping someone is not what I would have thought to do. But hey that's just me.

I think we would all be wise not to take what we read or see on the news about someone to serious. My guess would be maybe half of what is reported is true. If for some reason you are really not liked by the media that number goes way down. How about this, instead of reading or hearing something about someone and instantly making statements like “stupid ---------- fill in the blanks, or many other statements like we know exactly what happened and this person is an idiot that had it coming to him. We take a minute and consider that it just may not be true or maybe there is more to the story than is being reported. If you have ever been on the other side of that I can tell you very little of what is reported is true. I had a friend that had a story written about him and theygot more of the “facts” wrong than they got correct. One example was his blue Mercedes sedan was described as a black SUV. As smart as you folks are on this board you have to know this. Maybe it is because we want it to be true and that is why you are so quick to jump to conclusions.

Now that's funny. I don't care who you are that's funny right there.

I know several people in the buy here pay here car business. They have done very well. The down payment required pays for their cost in the car. The payments are all profit. You will need to be prepared to repo some cars. You must have your contract in really good order. Buying the cars really cheep is the key. If I wanted to start a business I would look at ANY of the service businesses. I can tell you no matter what you choose. Showing up when you say, doing what you say when you say it will be done and doing a good job at a fair price you will have all the business you want. Keep in mind this is a marathon not a sprint.

I have been self employed fo close to 20 years with 2 different businesses. 1 I bought that was already operational 1 I started from scratch. We have always lived conservatively so I did not need to make much money(good thing to). There are a lot of highs and lows. I have always been in a B to B business. Running a business is much diferant than working for someone else. Meaning you may be a good painter but be very bad at running a painting business. Most of the time failure is caused by underestimating all the cost including the TAXES. Do your home work. Get a good CPA. Put a detailed business plan together and then have it looked at by others. Then add 10% to all your cost and see how the numbers come out. The work you do ahead of time can be the difference between success or failure. It will also save you a lot of money. Good luck.

My FedEx driver carries dog treats, I think my dog likes him more than me. A simple solution and may not work every time. I ran a paper route as a kid and learned how to make friends with the dogs. Of course I could not have gotten away with shooting them so making friends with them seemed the best choice. Same rule applies with dogs as with humans shooting one should be the last option.

I love my Stihl saw, weed eater and blower. I will not buy anything else. I also use Stihl oil in all my 2 cycle stuff. If it will keep a Stihl saw running it will keep anything running.

That's some good advice right there.

You never know what was done to the firearm after he made the trade. He could have left it on the roof of his car and drove off. And sure once it hit the road a few times it may not work. He may have taken it a part and lost a piece. Who knows. I normally check the function of a weapon before trading. If not and I get screwed it is on me.

Yea, I had it attached to a short flexible tripod that was rapped around the handle of the jet ski. Hit a wave and it snapped right off the tripod, hit my leg and plunk into the deep blue yonder. Hard to believe I was that STUPID.

I picked up a Hero a few weeks ago. Used it a few times with the head mount while shooting. I also bought the screen attachment just because operating using my iPad was cumbersome. What I did not get was the floating attachment thinking the tripod attachment was secure. Well I learned differently when riding a jet ski in the ocean and watching the camera fall off into the abyss. Still sick about it and I am punishing myself by not buying another one for awhile.

Welcome from Piney Flats/ Bluff City.

I can understand if the crime was violent but it is not that hard to be charged with a felony these days. There are felony convictions when the person did not even know what they did was a crime.

Why does someone that has been convicted of a felony not have the right to protect themselves and their families?

Seems like I deal with this kind of thing with my 10 year old daughter all the time.  "Daddy you should have seen the way she looked at me" or "she called me a name". In the semi grown up world it is the guy that flips you off going down the road, I laugh and wave and think is that the best you got. Your middle finger, really.  As others have said we choose what offends us.  If you are offended by the Redskins name then do not support the team or buy the merchandise but just because you are offended does not mean the rest of us are.

Maybe the guy was an ex of the bride and was looking for a chance to take out the guy that stole her from him. Happens all the time at weddings :). I guess I am just nieve but I just do not find myself looking/caring if someone else is armed. I think there are many better indications of someone with bad intentions than the the fact that someone Is carrying a concealed weapon. If anything I am thinking good I may have some backup if the need arises.

Never got bit by the band saw. Those cuts are bad. Did get bit by a slicer one time, clean fast cut. I heard of a guy that got his hand caught in a grinder one time. He could not reach the power switch. Ended up watching his hand come out of the grinder end like ground beef.

Took the end of my thumb off with a meat cleaver many years ago. Still hurts sometimes and the finger nail is so tough it is hard to clip.  15 years cutting meat, I have a lot of scares to prove the pain but no pics, sorry.

I think in part because a Glock is not as expensive to own. A lot of available upgrades/replacement parts that are not as expensive as some.  Mags. are a lot less expensive. So the risk of buying a used Glock that cannot be repaired inexpensively/upgraded is much lower. And by the way I shoot my 2 Glocks as well as any gun I own.

I have the PPQ in 40 cal. Great gun. My only complaint is the cost of mags. I haven't looked in a while but for a long time they could not be found anywhere. I finally picked 2 up and paid $50.00 plus each. Best out of the box trigger I have ever seen.

I was lucky with the ammo, I picked up a case of 10 bricks back when they were 7cents each. My daughter loves doing anything with our guns. She helps me with ammo inventory, safe organizing and such. I just reorganized my office and made room for a work bench. I will start showing her about breaking down and cleaning her gun. We have some work to do on our range, maybe after we get that done tomorrow we will shoot some.

A Jack Russell, it does not matter how big the GH is a Jack Russell will take on a bear. Had one that disappeared one time, if he died in a GH hole he died a happy dog.

I don' know about you all but I found the first half of that video a bit erotic.
