I know (of) Gordo. He's a wannabe. The whole BP thing is a joke in the gang world. The ones I would be worried about is MS13. We have some Crypt and Bloods stuff, but it's fairly low key. A lot of that Graffiti they shot was over by where my old church was near downtown. We had a good mess of those kids coming in and out. Akin, the redheaded guy, patrolled our area a lot. Mostly at night (Wedgewood/Houston). I'll tell you this, growing up in Memphis and then being in the inner city if Nashville for the last 5 years, Memphis is in a whole other league. We can't hold a candle to them. That's not to say the Nashville boys can't do some damage, but it's two different scales.

With a powered scope you won't see the front sight and it will not affect you vision. However, If you just don't like the F-Type front sight it is fairly easy to remove. Two pins and your done. Your fron sight is also the gas block, so it will have to be replaced. You can put a flipup FS or a low pro gas block and be done with it. I personally like a flip up front sight just in case. http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/Iron_Sights___Gas_Blocks.html.

Had to buy the building permit.

Just saw that G&L has a Cold Steel tommy up there. It was a pretty good looking piece of steel.

Yeah, my existing house is small, 768 sq. ft., and the addition is 300 sq. ft. to the side. We tried avoiding codes, but they patrol our area pretty heavily.

It's an addition of a master bedroom, bathroom, and laundry closet.

It's like the IRS. You follow the rules till the inspector tells it's wrong. Ultimately it's his call.

Anyone in middle TN know the code requirements for plumbing a washing machine? Specifically stan pipe size, trap distance, etc. Codes came out and I need some clarification. Thanks.

Sounds like a great place too buy dirt cheap off the bank and open a satellite location for someone. I mean who else is the bank going to be able to sell a gun range to!

Found this from some of the flashlight forums and got to say, pretty impressed. I got this one and has worked as promised. 250 lumen's, 5 modes, part changeability, HA-III finish, all for $20. they have other stuff as well, but their flashlights get great reviews on the forums.

The folks are super nice and accommodating. I have found their prices to be a tad higher than some other places but nothing deal breaking. Would highly recommend. And yes it did take a a try or too to find them.

A milled bulgy is a very nice AK! Building an AR is great for leaning about the gun and the DIY satisfaction. Plus, folks are impressed when you say, "I built it myself!" As Magic said, price wise there isn't a whole lot of difference. The main difference is you can get exactly what you want. In that case it is a little cheaper..... sometimes.

Yeah, I'm with him on politics but he wears on me. Something about his voice just gets on my nerves and if I hear the word nitwitery one more time!

Could be interesting. Since I only read about these things (Shot etc.) this could be a cool thing to see.

shhhh, they will report you!

Wonder if they got hacked and someone is having fun with their prices?

I don't know if he is an employee or free lances, but yes that is the place. I've only saw him teaching one class and that was sometime back.

Heroes are the new villains, Good is bad, and what was right in now wrong. Thank you lawyers!

*Read this tongue in cheek;)* Man, go find yourself a little cabin in the words and write all your thoughts and angst down. Mail them in unmarked envelopes to newspaper and media outlets around the world and when you finally snap, we will send Ben to come get you.

Who or what are you trying to persuade with your arguments? Who's mind has been changed by beating the dead horse over and over? I'm one who loves good arguments, but like Kenny Rogers sang, "you got to know when to hold them. You got to know when to fold them.";)

Gotta love the tact and wit of our wonderful Sec of State. Maybe you need another reset button ........or is that a refund button? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0z4vJNfK2g&feature=related

What is a reasonable profit margin?

Look left.

The Rayburn one man show. Amazing how he one guy can garner so much attention.

Cost are not high becasue insurance companies are gouging us. Cost are controlled by the providers (doctors, hospitals, etc) The Medicare sets below market price for their services and the providers have to accept it. They recoup the losses from insurance companies and cash payers. In addition providers can not turn away emergency medical assistance, which also gets passed on. You also have to factor in insurance that doctors have to pay. I had a friend who was an OBGYN/Gen Prac and used to do deliveries. She went to general practice becasue she was paying $250K per year for liability as a OB. In Gen she still had to pay $25K. Tort reform would cut billions out of the cost of health care immediately and get us to where we could reasonably discuss the other issues.
