In the event of a SHTF situation, it would be most beneficial to assume that people are NOT your friends. Keep in mind that there is a high probability that they feel the same way that you do. That is, they are more concerned with their own well being as opposed to yours. They, too, have family members and loved ones to consider and protect.    If you are unfortunate enough to be stuck in a populous city when SHTF, it would be best to stay put for the immediate time following such an event. Like others have pointed out above, the roads and streets will most likely be congested with other people trying to escape the city. This could be a hazard in itself. You could be exposing yourself and your family to whatever pandemonium might exist on the road. This may include but is not limited to riots, stampedes, pillaging, etc.    It might be wise to "bug in" and plan your 'bug out' exit strategy accordingly. If you do plan on leaving the city, it's best to travel on paths less taken by others. It would be wise to get a map of the area that you are located in and plan out different exit routes. These routes may include sewage lines, creeks, ditches, canals, railroad, etc. A good place to obtain these maps would be the local libraries. During the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, the libraries in the cities were one of the FEW places left UNLOOTED. There's a wealth of information to be found there.    As you are displacing, its best to travel during the night. Always assume that you are being under observations and try to leave as small a footprint as possible -that is don't make too much noise, try not to have your flashlight on too often (this may give your location to others), and try to avoid contact with others unless you haven't any other options.    If you are unfortunate enough to encounter other people, always stay on your guard. Be wary of those asking for help(as this may very well be an ambush), be wary of helping others (this may strain your resources), and if you encroach upon others as you are passing and they spot you first before you spot them, try not to be provocative and use your best judgement for the situation. Perhaps gesture that you mean harm and communicate that you aren't looking for any problems and are just trying to pass through.

I bought a Crimson Trace laser grip for my Glock 17. The laser in itself is awesome. The laser comes from the manufacturer pre-sighted and is pretty much on point. The grip seems very durable, however, the inside of the grip is where the battery is located and seems expose. I don't know how durable it is if you were to drop it in water, mud, dirt etc. After i got laser, i went to the range. After i shot about 200 rounds through it, the grip just didn't feel right to me. The extra mass of the laser grip felt uncomfortable to me as my hands are not that large. I also notice that i tend to grip my pistol high when i shoot so my index finger would sometimes get in the way of the laser. So i took it off and shot it without the grip and it just felt more natural to me. I sold the laser to my cousin the next day. I can see why conceal carry people would prefer a Crimson Trace laser. The laser mounts on the right side just above the grip (on glocks). This allows it to be easily worn on holsters as oppose to a tactical light.

I really appreciate the offer kind sir. I do have a rifle, and i would normally jump at an offer like this, but i already have a couple of spots to hunt at. I have my family's private land in Mcnairy County and a deer lease by Salem Farm in Weakley County, so i will move aside for someone who might need a place to hunt more than me. Thanks

Wow. This offer is very kind of you sir. I see that you are located in Martin, Tn which is where i am currently residing because of school. I go to UTM. It sounds like a sweet little spot to hunt. I am sure someone will jump on your offer quick. Good luck

For skunk control i think a .22lr will be a fine solution. At least you don't have wasp problems. I went home from school this past weekend and discovered that a few colonies of wasp, yellow jackets in particular, have invaded my storage house backyard. I went into the shed without any problems, but on the way out, i was attacked by a swarm of them. What was interesting was that they specifically targeted the back of my neck. I have a huge rash from getting stung there. Luckily, i am not allergic to wasp stings. I was extremely afterward and went back inside the shed armed with a bottle of WD-40 and gave those little bastard hell .

What did you hear about them? I haven't gotten around to taking pictures of my rifle yet. I'll try to do it later on today.

Steak cooked with garlic and onions. Also had spinach and rice on the side.

It looks great

I have a SIG SHR 970 with a synthetic stock chambered in 30-06. It's my good ol' hunting rifle. I love it. It shoots great, is very well built, has a free floating barrel, and is more accurate than i am. The rifle is fairly rare i believe. Sigarms didn't make too many of them i don't think. The parts are getting rarer to come by. I'll post pictures of mine when i get a chance.

"....what do republicans say....we surround you, we get together republicans do. When republicans hate a president, we gather quickly and frightening numbers.....and we bring guns.." I believe the movie does come out this Friday. I've already seen it though in the pre screen version. Although i probably shouldn't have though because the movie got kinda spoiled without the animated graphics in it. But back on topic, good post.

By CHARLES BABINGTON – 19 hours ago WASHINGTON (AP) — With Sen. Arlen Specter's switch to the Democrats, the Republican Party is increasingly at risk of being viewed as a mostly Southern and solidly conservative party, an identity that might take years to overcome. Specter's move, which rocked Congress and the political world Tuesday, is the latest blow to Republicans, especially in the Northeast, once a GOP stronghold. The region's Republicans now have been reduced to a scant presence in the House and a dwindling influence in the Senate. But Specter's defection has symbolic and immediate ramifications for the GOP nationwide. It makes it easier for Democrats, fairly or not, to paint the party as ideologically rigid and alien to large swaths of the country. Olympia Snowe of Maine, one of the Senate's few remaining moderate Republicans, called Specter's decision another sign that her party must move toward the center. "Ultimately, we're heading to having the smallest political tent in history," Snowe said. "If the Republican Party fully intends to become a majority party in the future, it must move from the far right back toward the middle." But Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky was defiant. "I do not accept that we are going to be a regional party," he said. "We're working very hard to compete throughout the country." Specter's departure follows recent Republican losses in once-reliable states. While Barack Obama was cruising to the White House last fall, Republicans were losing long-held Senate seats in Alaska, Colorado, New Mexico, North Carolina and Virginia. A moderate Republican lost his seat in Oregon, and the same seems likely to happen when Minnesota's long recount is settled. In the House, Republicans have suffered deep losses in the last two elections, especially in the Northeast. Last week, Democrat Scott Murphy won a special election in a heavily Republican congressional district in upstate New York. Murphy will be sworn in Wednesday, giving Democrats' 256 House seats to 178 for Republicans with one vacancy. The congressional Republicans' base is shrinking, leaving them with strongholds only in the South and parts of the mountain West. With the departure of each centrist, including Pennsylvania's Specter, the party also appears more firmly right-of-center. Polls show most Americans nearer the political center, and Democratic leaders were happy Tuesday to promote the GOP's image as narrow-minded. "This is now officially a Republican Party where moderates need not apply," said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. Specter made similar remarks. "The Republican Party has moved farther and farther to the right," he said, adding to the trend with his switch. Specter accused party leaders of abandoning moderate Republicans in tough races, saying, "there ought to be an uprising." In the 1970s, '80s and early '90s, the nation's political realignment favored the GOP. Voters in many of the 11 former Confederate states ousted Democrats by the dozens, no longer accepting the old odd-bedfellows alliance of Southern conservatives and more dominant Northern liberals. With the Northeast still home to many "Rockefeller Republicans" — centrists in the mold of former New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller — the realignment pinched Democrats hard. In recent years, however, the tide has reversed. Moderate-to-liberal voters in the Northeast and Pacific West felt increasingly at odds with the national Republican Party, and they began electing more Democrats to local and federal posts. Obama won surprising victories in Virginia, North Carolina and Indiana, though it's far from clear that Democrats can hold those states. The result is a shrinking and increasingly right-leaning GOP, throughout the nation and in Congress. There, moderate Republicans are almost an endangered species. While lonely, they may play pivotal roles in brokering legislative deals, especially in the Senate. Snowe and her Republican colleague from Maine, Susan M. Collins, now are the Senate's most prominent GOP moderates. Collins said she was "very, very disappointed and surprised" by Specter's defection. "It's something I would never do," she said, but she called on her party to be more inclusive. "The Republican Party has been most successful when it has adopted the big tent approach that was favored by Ronald Reagan, by Gerald Ford" and others, Collins said. Obama hailed Specter's switch, but its blessing may prove mixed. The president vowed a more bipartisan era in Washington, and the loss of another GOP centrist will make Congress more partisan than before. Republican leaders, meanwhile, faced an uphill battle in next year's Pennsylvania Senate race even before Specter made the switch. In that sense, they probably have lost little. Besides, only 15 years ago some pundits predicted permanent minority status for Democrats, following their huge losses in the 1994 elections. Political fortunes can change rapidly, and unexpectedly. But for now, Republicans hold distinct minority status in the House and Senate, where Democrats and independents hold 59 seats to 40 for the GOP. They confront a popular Democratic president, and they face numerous ill-timed retirements in next year's Senate races. Tuesday was another bad day in a political season that some Republicans must feel cannot possibly get worse. EDITOR'S NOTE _ Charles Babington covers the White House for The Associated Press.

What a hypocrite those hardcore liberal minded ass are. The following is a quote from obama yesterday: "But one of the things that I mentioned in both public remarks as well as private remarks is that the United States obviously has a history in this region that's not always appreciated from the perspective of some, but that what we need to do is try to move forward, and that I am responsible for how this administration acts and we will be respectful to those democratically elected governments, even when we disagree with them." He needs to man up and claim responsibility for the department of homeland security's report on right wing radicalization. That kind of is unacceptable. Janet Nepolitano also needs to get her fat ass slap in the face and dropped kick for releasing that crap and trying to justify what was clearly written. That type of needs to be removed and we all need a formal apology. What is this world coming to? I don't need and will certainly not accept no fat, slimy, scumbag puke piece o' 'selected' official dictating me on how or what my point of view should be. And another thing, maybe we the people need to organize some kind of peaceful protest to demonstrate our discontent with the department of homeland security's report. Otherwise, those goons might think they can just tread all over the American people. I feel that i am not properly represented

Has anyone fired the LCR yet? If so, how does it compare to the S&W's?

Because guns kill people, my life is in grave danger since i have a few of them surrounding me in this room! Quick! Someone call ABC and ask them why they haven't turned on me yet!?!

Happy Easter

Just got through watching grand torino. Good movie but it really did not live up the the major hype.
