Yea we had a bomb shelter in back yard when I was a kid and dad and mom kept it stocked with food and water and would rotate it from time to time but really in all reality how many people would survive a true nuclear war in back yard air raid shelter?. And even if you did survive the blast would you survive long enough under ground for radiation to clear. I think not. Look at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There was nothing left except ashes and those were crude Nukes. Figure how far they have advanced since then. If the first nuke is ever fired from a country at another Country just sit down, tuck your head between your legs and kiss your butt good bye because that will be when God fulfills the second destruction of the earth which he promised would be by fire. The difference this time is he will let man destroy man on their own with fire as he predicted. And to think the creation of that devastating weapon was actually discovered 5 miles from my home in Lemont, Illinois at the Argonne National Laboratory where they split the first atom ............jmho 

Don't know about that but a buddy that shops there a little came over for coffee the other morning and told me they had a going out of business sale in the windows and some really good prices on some stuff.............. :up: :up:

Shadow Warrior Military Surplus in Castalian Springs is having a  going out of business sale.     515 Tennessee hwy 25, Castalian Springs, TN 37031 (615) 374-4229

My guess is C

I agree JWC that they did have a different agenda. Just not sure what it was and will never know because they are dead. But this is the first time I have heard the title "The Revolution has began." used Normally a revolt has more than two people in it. Now does this mean there are others out there planning the same type of action striking out in small numbers like this. It is a possibility and only time will tell that. I would say for now most everyone might want to raise there alertness to maybe Def-con 3 for a short time. Yea. it happened in Vegas but doesn't mean it will remain in Vegas..................jmho

I don't know exactly how I would have reacted to the situation but I do know i would not have ran and hid if I was locked and loaded. His only mistake was not knowing how many shooters he had to confront and how many would have guessed a woman was this shooters partner? Everyone that has said there is something to learn from this is totally correct. Lesson one is never assume anyone is friendly at that point and check out every person you encounter for weapons before moving on to the next. I am assuming she waited till he passed her and then shot him in the back as most cowards would do. What this man did do is make them change their plans because at that point they were unaware of just how many more people in the store may be armed so they in turn went to the rear of the store and waited for the police to arrive before committing murder suicide on  themselves thus ending their short lived revolution....................jmho

Can anyone say RIP-OFF. If I was in the 1st or 2nd grade or ever higher grades and they gave me one of those things and told me that if a shooter comes into my school they want me to hide behind it. I would throw it down and run screaming out of the school terrified that they think a shooter was coming to my school.  When are these idiots going to quit trying to profit off of fear of children and parents and when are the local school systems going to really put safe guards programs together that make since? If a guy showed up at my school pedaling these things and I was the principal I would escort him out of my school with the recommendation he never return. My Children are all grown and I only have one grandchild in the third grade of the school he attends and they have 3 resource officers in the school every day while children are there. In the upper level schools they also have two or more resource officers in them and at all Sporting events held there are as many as 5 Uniformed officers at all of them. The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun. That has been proven more times than not. I would rather my school system spend that kind of money on resource officers than blankets that will only scare the children......................jmho 

I also don't believe in the cameras at stop lights that can write you a ticket and as far as speed traps go where  live they don't have them a lot but they will have them when people complain about people driving to fast through neighborhoods where many children are playing. Also as far as check points, about the only time they have those around here is on holiday weekends when the drunks are out in numbers behind the wheel which is dangerous as far to many drunk drivers have killed people in the past. I have not seen any of the old drivers license and registration check point in years but then I don't drive as much as I use to either. I know some folks have a low feeling about LEO's but I wonder what it would be like if we didn't have them. I don't think it would a good idea to just not have them. It would be like the riots of the 60's and 70's every day......................jmho

Ok so what would be a good time to make it in with the shooters? I will be coming with a friend but we both live about 15 minutes from Steam Plant.

Is there an admission charge to just come and watch and will spectators be able to get through the gates ok?

Self inflicted injuries for which i have no mercy for. I honestly don't think a lot of them have even given that a thought and to be honest if it does happen I have no doubt it will be woman with young children and a ccw and just reacts as a mother would to protect her children but once that round leaves the barrel you cannot stop it from hitting what it is pointed at and I for one would not hold the mother at fault in her decision to protect her children first and foremost  .............jmho

Yea, except for the ones that are such cowards like  Jared Lee Loughner  that opened fire in the Mall that killed several including a few children and injured Gabby Gifford and the movie theater shooterJames Eagan Holmes, that killed so many and wounded many more. They were such cowards they could not even kill themselves. Instead our tax dollars will upkeep them for the rest of their lives. Unless that is someone kills them in prison like they did that mass murderer Jeffery Dahmer in Michigan Prison. Prison Justice, Swift and Permanent!!! I guess I should not say this but we can only hope.....................jmho

My dog is very happy right now out laying under the boat in the carport. It will be staying here when son in law is not fishing as he has no building to put it in but planning on building a garage for it. Knowing my Son in law and his planning and doing are many miles apart and he might get that garage built about 2020 if then so boat will be here with vicious guard dog protection........... :rofl: :rofl: :rock: Guard dog on duty:::: [URL=http://s218.photobucket.com/user/softbaitmaker/media/Kasey%20and%20Girl%20Dog/PictureorVideo070_zps1b326171.jpg.html][/URL]

Well, I guess the Doctor that lost her parents in Luby's and brought up the Assault Rifle issue during her discussion with legislators is finally getting her point across about the real purpose of assault weapons as more than just standing on your roof during a riot and guarding your property from looters. So if you want to point your finger at the real people that have created this situation take a long look at the Texas legislators as they are the ones that set the rules and they are the ones that will be facing the angry mothers from Targets and no telling how many other places before November elections............jmho

Man sorry that happened to you and hope it's not as bad as you said it looks. Keep us informed on what doctor said. I keep a  few cans of Solar Cain around my house for burns. It helps a lot when you burn your self as I have done many times while working with hot plastic when making fishing baits............ :up:  :up:

Well, thing is they have made their point and by law they are totally legal to carry their long guns to a store to shop or a food joint to eat.  This has been going on for a month almost and no one has been shot in Texas as far as i can tell. I have not heard ay facts as to whether any of the food joints have actually barred them from entering the business to eat of any stores told them they cannot come in and shop. If I am wrong please let me know. in all honesty I think this will eventually fade away because many of them will get tired of taking a rifle everywhere they go to eat and shop. They have like I said proven their point and now it is up to the Texas Legislature to look at the laws and see if they can fix it. To date I have not heard one word out of Governor Perry or any of their legislators on this issue. Maybe we will hear soon.............jmho

I guess if you can spray the shooter with the pepper spray and make it to you vehicle and back before he or they regain their vision and shoot you on sight it might work. My self I would just keep spraying them with the spray till you run out of they run away or they are blinded for life and you can take their gun away.................jmho

I don't understand your logic there at all. Do you not believe that there are no Anti gun people in South Carolina that would be willing to leave a loaded gun in the store? They are getting more desperate by the day because their agenda is not picking up any steam going forward at all and Bloomberg is blowing millions on a crusade that is accomplishing almost zero................jmho

Well I read it and I considered it and I think Christopher Cantwell needs to do something good for his country. He needs put a long rope around his neck and jump off some bridge somewhere that he has enough momentum that when the rope tightens it separates his head from his body and leaves a post on his face book page telling all of his readers goodbye because he is crazy if that is his way of thinking.............JMHO

I have a few nice guns but nothing that nice. I have had the opportunity to sit down behind one of those and shoot it all I wanted for free and I declined the offer and the owner left the offer open to me anytime I want to do it. My Son in laws brother is an FFLIII dealer and owns 2 of them and has a range on his 1500 acre ranch with markers and targets out to 1000 yards in his back yard. You walk out on the back deck and just sit down and begin shooting anything he has in his armory you can shoot if you know him. The reason I declined was because he mentioned that he had a 60 coming back then and probably has it by now. I figured my Son in Law and I would make a time we could go out there and I could shoot the 50 and the 60. That would fulfill 2 items at once of things to do on my bucket list of things to do before I die. Will probably do it this month or next month when son in law has time and his brother is in town. Will post the results of my experience with both guns when I have shot them. He has assured me my shoulders will not be affected by either gun so guess I will find out huh?  

????????................ :shrug: :shrug:

Well, lets look at this from a dogs perspective if that is possible. Has anyone ever considered how dogs feel when they are in a  house and people are always talking. Is that annoying to dogs. Maybe, maybe not. Maybe dogs have the ability to just tune us out unless talking directly to them by first calling them by name. A dog that spends most of it's life inside and television is on the dog hears people talking continuously!! Is the dog able to just tune that out or do they have to listen to it all the time. When i am going to bring Kasey in doors many times I will turn off the TV just to give her a break from all the talking. Then when I do speak she is a lot more attentive to what i say and responds in ways I know she is actually listening to me. So maybe barking dogs are wanting something they are lacking. Maybe it might be beneficial to all concerned to see what they may want or lacking that they are not getting. Just another point of view on this I guess.....................jmho............... :up: :up:

At age 90 I would guess they will ask for cash because they know chances of you making it to 110 years old, slim and chances of you running across the lake with your grey hair blowing in the wind even slimmer................ :rofl: :rofl: :rock: :rock:

Unfortunately most of us at one time or another has had issues with neighbors over 1 issue or another. When I moved here 17 years ago people that lived in a rental house two doors down that has cats. I'm not talking a couple cats. People that knew them said that as best they could tell they owned about 30 + with some inside and some out door cats. At the time the only dog I had with the hairless ugly dog, Buttons. Many of the cats were larger than him and they would wander the neighborhood. They had only lived there about 4 months when the landlord served them notice to move because of complaints by all their neighbors. It took him two trips to court to get the evicted by the Sheriff but the Deputies refused to move the stuff out of the house because of the smell. When the people finally did move they took 5 cats with them and left about 40 running loose in the neighborhood. i made a deal with Animal Control that is they would supply the traps I would supply the bait. They brought me out 8 catch live traps. I placed them all around my out buildings and everyday the Patrol truck would stop by and pick up the full traps and leave empty ones in their place and I would bait them and this went on for about two months until  there was only one cat left but it was to big to fit in the standard traps. They had to bring me one out for medium size dogs. Evidently the cat had been in a trap before so was not really easy to catch. Normal foods would not get it to go in. Buddy of mine stopped in and we wee talking about it. He said I will bring you some bait for it. The following evening he showed up with a catfish  alive in a cooler about 2 pounds . he left it and cooler and told me not to put it in the trap till almost dark and put the trap right near where the cat was coming in and out from under an out building. I did as he said and put the live catfish in the trap. The following morning I had a big yellow tom cat in the cage and it was not happy at all. I called Animal Control out and they loaded the cage trap and my cat days were over. It cost that landlord not only all the court costs to get them people out but cost him almost 20 grand to redo the entire interior of the house. Had to replace everything including the insulation in the walls to remove that cat smell from the house. When it was completed the for rent sign did not go up in front yard. For Sale sign we up and he sold it about a month later. I do have issues with neighbors up front but not really an issue. They have these little in house dogs that they put on cables during the day from time to time to let them out of house for a while and like all little dogs they are yappers and yap at anything and everything but they are only out a short time so not really a issue.  Good luck with your barking issue  and hope you get it resolved before it comes to blows with the neighbor................ :up: :up:

Yea, when we first began coming down here on vacations from up north my Grandfather gathers all 4 of us boys together and pulled out a big wide board from behind a barn door. On the board was about 7 seven different snake hides. He new that the only venomous snake we had up where we grew up was a Timber rattler that grew about 3 feet in length and was a very fat short snake. The first 4 were the venomous ones beginning with Copper head, then the Rattle snake, then a Coral snake and finally the all might Cotton mouth. the other snakes were chicken corn snakes rat snakes or several other names folks gave the but harmless but might make you hurt your self getting away and the Blue racer. He said that the Cotton mouth was the one to be most care of because they are aggressive and will actually charge at you so give them a wide birth. He said most of the other dangerous snakes want to get away from you about as bad as you do them. We would swim in the Harpeth River when we came down every year and he would make us take old Jake with us when were went to the swimming hole. Jake was an old hound that could smell a Cotton mouth or rattle snake 50 yards away and would begin barking putting us all on alert and sure enough we would get to see the snake eventually. After many years of all the locals using the rope swim swimming hole Cotton mouths were seldom found any where near it/ They didn't want to be around people all the time so they just stayed away from that part of the river.After moving down here and meeting a few neighbors that I had met every Summer but now would be a regular thing since we now owned the ranch the  boys my age all came and asked if they would still be able to deer hunt the ranch as they had all their lives and I said only if I can go along and I got an instant invitation to go along. The following Spring before it became illegal to hunt and kill snakes and the Harpeth river was made in a Scenic River by Tourism department a few of us kids would buy up a bunch off 22 ammo and all had semi autos ad we would launch the aluminum jon boats and float the river killing snakes. Snakes hanging in trees over the water, snakes sunning on gravel bars and snakes sunning in log jams. I'm guessing in that 3 years we did that we did that at least twice a week we killed several 1000 snakes. The third year of the float we did not see as many snakes as the previous two some i am guess we did put a dent in snake population in that stretch above and below the swimming hole. can't do those floats any more. Now it's against the law pus more important reason is my old body in a jon boat for 8 hours + I would have to be lifted out of the boat with a crane and hospitalized for at least a couple days to recoup............... :rofl: :rofl: :rock:
