I really hope they don't ow it with the sequel. To many times recently they seem to make a great movie, and then proceed to water it down and mess it up by adding sequels and prequels. Sent from the backwoods

Walmart strikes again, this time more serious
Spots replied to Dolomite_supafly's topic in General Chat
I have a very hard time finding a mechanic. I've been through Automotive school, ASE certified and I was a helicopter mechanic so I'm slightly on the picky side. Like super picky. That said, the new job requires that most of my work be done elsewhere due to time constraints. I have had the best luck from smaller independent shops that employ ASE Certified technicans. They usually care more about their customer base, and the techs have much more experience in doing it right the first time. Quick lube and Walmart type guys normally are much younger, inexperienced and paid close to minimum wage with little training. I hope you get the money out of him for the door, he should have just done the right thing, Man Up, admit your mistake and carry on. As for the manager and child killer hollow points. I wouldn't frequent that store any longer and I would call corporate every chance I had when something happened. Also, if he is a Vietnam Vet, he has obviously forgotten that hollow points werent meant as child killers, but Napalm sticks to kids! Sent from the backwoods -
So was I late to the party and missed the discussion on this movie? I watched it awhile back, and recently got it for a Birthday present. To me it is one of the best action films in a long time. I loved the use of judo throughout the movie, as it's an art I've trained in for years and it rarely gets press. A lot of the throws and techniques were executed very well. I also liked that it showed multiple reloads instead of infinite bullets and seemed to put a more tactically minded methid of handling a pistol to good use. Anybody else impressed with the movie?

You're having an allergic reaction to the glock polymers. You need to sell it to me and go back to your surplus steel. slso, Glock triggers are really hard to use after shooting anything else. Sent from the backwoods

Break it up? Hell I'd be giving odds and taking bets lol. I avoid Walmart as much as possible just due to the sheer stupidity of the general public there. But if two grown ups wanna fight, let them fight. To bad the kid was involved Sent from the backwoods

Chickens are great. Nothing like fresh eggs from your own chickens. This is my dad's setup. The nesting boxes have latched doors on the outside so eggs can be gathered from the outside, and right inside the door there is a 2 ft space, then a wall built from lumber and chicken wire. The water and feed goes in the space and the chickens can easily reach there heads through for both, but don't knock it over and mess in it so bad. Walk in doors for cleaning are a huge plus. This one is built out of Oak lumber. We cut the timber, then used a band mill to turn it into lumber and build the bate and board style coop. Sent from the backwoods

So recently my Facebook feed has become covered with ads for subscription boxes. Most are for clothes, candy or makeup, but after googling some for the wife, I found this one. Different levels, and it ships with gear, tactical clothing, edc items, etc. Anyone tried it yet, or considered it? I think I'm gonna order tge $100 pro this next cycle coming up and give it a shot.

That's the equivalent of a fused hand grenade isn't it? I bet that thing tumbles early and often, and a 20" barrel means it's gonna be carrying a lot of juice. I love it Sent from the backwoods

That's a good looking hammer, and a decent price. Needs restoration is gonna mean probably another $1k to $1500 in work and parts, and hopefully it has dies or it'll cost several hundred for those. Would be a hell of a conversation piece either way. Sent from the backwoods

Of course a lot of it depends on how this stuff plays out. Some people will wake up one day and try to figure out when Lala land disappeared. And it hinges on several other things also, as a large scale event such as economic collapse will change the entire landscape. Sent from the backwoods

We have been headed down this road for years. Erosion of our rights started much earlier than most people even realize. I mean the NFA started in 1934 and is a massive infringement on our 2nd Amendment. At this point the real question is when does it start. How do you decide when it's time to start shooting, since it's already to late for voting. Gun owners on a whole still crucify each other over something as mundane as open carry, so who is willing going to be a lamb to slaughter by openly starting a revolution. Sent from the backwoods

Well after a rough patch that involved selling most of my firearms, including my rifles, I now have been steadily working at Aisin automotive casting since November. That means I can finally start shooting again, and I can build an AR again. Thanks to an amazing deal from a great friend here kn the forum, JCJ. I bought an unused, still in the box PSA upper from him yesterday for $100. Midwest Industries 12" rail, 1:7 chrome lined barrel, PSA flip up sights, upper, bcg and charging handle. I'll be doing a basic build on an aero or similar aluminum lower with a goal of keeping the coat under $300 total. I already added a weapon light, it is a Greg Mcgee Engineering 1200 lumen setup that I won on another forum giveaway last year. I'll update as I get the build rolling. Thanks guys Sent from the backwoods

Welcome to the patron state of shooting stuff. Spent 2 years stationed at MCAS Miramar in San Diego, and will be the first to tell you that you will enjoy Tennessee much, much more. Semper Fi to you and your wife. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

Has anyone heard anything new on this?

This is spot on. I've got a lot of years in traditional martial arts. Learning the basics is quick ij a way but executing things such as joint manipulation, throws, arm bars, proper chokes, etc takes years of practice to do it full speed in a true situation. I've trained with people who do it by pure instinct they have trained so long (my dad for one) but getting to that level takes practice, lots of full speed sparring against an equal or better opponent, dedication and learning from someone who can show you the small nuances that make huge differences. Reviewing via video tape is ok, if you can get some one on one time with an instructor first to understand the small stuff and ask questions. For basic self defense that is effective, you really need just a few striking techniques, one or two good throws, and a few ground techniques, and then a lot of practice and a willingness to use them with sudden violence of action.

Nevermind. You aren't worth the time and effort to respond to this idiocy. You came looking for a fight and like an idiot I gave you one.

I'm done feeding the troll. Have fun with your opinion.

Yep. Running on my end

My issue with a stun gun is the same as has been mentioned above. You have to mantain contact for it to work. If I remember correctly Tennessee allows you to carry a baton if you take the class and get certified. Maybe do the class and carry a flat sap like cops used to carry? Very good weapons, that are non-lethal if used correctly and would hopefully be looked at as non-lethal response if you were certified for it

I will say I find it amusing that you believe I should be committed to a mental hospital. You have never sat around the fire and drank coffee with me, broke bread at my table, worked with me in the shop, or even met me face to face. You draw this conclusion from 3 post, that basically say I would be violent to protect an American flag from being desecrated. You talk of freedom then suggest I be locked away for my opinion. I have no criminal record, no speeding tickets, I left the Marines Corps with an RE-1A (recommended for renlistment) code on my DD-214, with not even a bad counseling in 5 years. Interesting

By all means, if that's me talking about committing a crime, then the admin can send me a pm. I know you have no idea who I am. I don't really care if you ever do. I have had dozens of TGO members under my roof, shoot at my house, and come learn blacksmithing in my shop. I would give a stranger the shirt of my back and the food off my plate to help them. But I was raised different than most. I was raised that your word means something, you take your hat off at the table, you call people Sir and Ma'am, and you don't desecrate a flag. If someone insults my wife or my mother they will either apologize or I will most likely put them in the hospital. If I catch someone beating a dog, horse, etc, I am going to return the favor. If I catch someone beating a woman or a child I'm going to kill them. And I'll stand before a judge, jury and Almighty God and say the same thing. You don't insult people, you don't hurt those who can't defend themsleves, you don't lie, cheat or steal. Burning a flag was your question, but your intent was to start a fight. That's fine by me. I've been around far to long to fight on the internet. I don't really care if you agree or disagree with my values. But it pays to remember that some people live by the law of what's right or wrong, not what some paid off judge decides. I'll gladly face any consequences for my actions, and answer for them. But I'll die knowing I stood for something and didn't compromise my values for some piece of garbage who thinks torching a flag is perfectly ok. It also pays to remember that carrying a gun doesn't automatically make you a badass. There are those that will make you eat that gun, holster and all.

Their actions still have consequences. It may not be from the government, but if I go to jail for stomping the hell out of some moron burning a flag, I'm ok with that. If you think I need a mental evaluation that's fine. The Marine Corps gave me one when I was Honorably Discharged and dint find anything wrong. Unlike what Mama may have told you, Violence does solve problems. This country would be a hell of a lot better place to live if assholes still got their guts stomped out for being idiots. Instead we pander to them, forcing our already overloaded courts to make decesion on whether something such as flag burning is covered by the 1st amendment. I said it before and I'll say it again. I take burning or stomping that flag as a personal insult, both to myself, to my best friend and his widow and orphans, and to every American who has been brought home draped under it. I am a violent person when I need to be, what's right is right, what's wrong is wrong. No matter what the government says
