Odd, I suddenly have a hankering for buttermilk.
@jeff43 It's a line from the movie, True Lies: "And she's got the most incredible body too and a pair of titties that make you wanna stand up and beg for buttermilk."

Handgun for Grizzlies
Setting aside the whole question of why you would want a Grizzly to have a handgun, it would have to be a very large one. Those guys have some seriously huge paws! (sorry, I couldn't resist based on the way the thread was titled)
I thought the same - strictly from the title. I don't think their claws would do well in a trigger guard.

Personally? No.
As a former police officer, I NEVER worried about losing my job, or even a suspension - from having a negligent discharge. Y'all seem to think that cops are highly trained with weapons. That is far from the truth. Most cops ONLY shoot during qualifications. Does that standard suck? Yes, but it's a reality.

While you vets make some very good points, I must say I disagree with the giving/recieving of the "Thank You" greeting.
It allows the greatful among us to show our thanks, and for the pride we have in youfor the duties you have fullfilled and for the lives lost for us and the nation.
I must admit that lately I have gotten lax in offering my thanks to those vets I can identify via caps and patches, etc., I try do do so in the spirit of love and thanks for those who did what I couldn't do for this...our country.
If you find it embarassing, I'm sorry. If you find it offensive...well I'm sorry for you.
My wife reminds me when she sees that I've missed honoring an identifiable vet. A father, 4 returning uncles. 1 who didn't come back, and one returnee that commited sucide. You can bet she doesn't forget to do it. All but her father were Vietnam vets. Her father... Air Force in the Korean "Conflict."
Of the 4 brothers, all were in active combat situations. 3 of them at thes same time, the 4th a year earlier. 2 diagnosed with PTSD, 2 with now admitted Agent Orange issues. The suicide was one of the 1 with PTSD, as it is now identified. After years of struggling, he drank himself into a stupor. But not before leaving a short note and setting himself and his home afire.
A case of TMI, I'm sure, but just explaining why we say Thank you for your Service.
If it's genuine then I have no problem with it. From many I get the impression that it's just lip service. Why was no one thanking me for my service in the 80's? Because it didn't become a "thing" until the 2000's.

Mine - accompanied by my avatar - is pretty much self-explanatory. I switched so that I could anonymize my digital footprint further. I have a pretty much so "useless" Master degree in Cybersecurity, but it did clue me in on what's probable as far as being hacked. It also was demonstrated when we sued a furniture manufacturer, (an NDA prevents me from saying which manufacturer), over an injury sustained by my wife. They were able to get into her Facebook postings even though she had it set to "private", and thought they were safe...not! It didn't damage our case, but it was a shocker.

The police can legally shoot you in the back if you run in Brazil.
Technically, US police can too. The Fleeing Felon laws were never repealed - as far as I know. I was warned by my chief not to use it back in the late 80's, but he said at the time it was concern over civil suits.

I got one in Rutherford County. Went up by quite a bit.

I'm sorry I failed to communicate my thoughts clearly enough. The distinction I intended to make was between service-connected injury and non-service-connected.
Thanks for that. I'm a little sensitive to this because I denied and suppressed my PSTD - mostly because I didn't get it from combat. I thought I would be viewed as a "wuss" if I admitted it. Then adding to that the talk on here about using PTSD as an excuse to take my weapons which didn't help. That was until I went for my C & P exam. The psychologist said that combat wasn't a prerequisite for PTSD. He said he's talked to thousands of vets who had it, and gave the following example: A service member that he treated for PTSD that didn't come from his 3 combat tours in Vietnam; it came from watching a little Vietnamese girl get murdered. He also said that another component was that I viewed the pilot and bombardier as heroes because they could have ejected from the plane, and leaving it to come down on my head. They had experienced a Foreign Object Destruct (FOD) after a bombing run. They had blown their canopy about a mile from our position, and the investigator told me that they must have seen me and part of my unit ahead of them, so they held-off on ejecting until it was too late. The plane turned on its side before they could eject, and they ejected into a granite hillside behind me. The investigator told me that I was lucky that the drop tanks were empty, otherwise, I'd be roasted alive. Fortunately for me, I had news stories about the crash on 10/3/83 to back me up, so the VA set a record and rated me at 70% disabled in only 5 months.
I have been fighting the VA for 14-years over my back. The main reason is that my medical record book was destroyed in a fire at the storage facility, and the VA was violating the law by NOT giving me the benefit of the doubt when such records are missing. The appeals judge recognized that and granted service-connection. I am just waiting on the VARO to determine the percentage of disability.

With all due respect, what he posted was not remotely like that and he did not insinuate it. Almost getting hit by a helicopter on base is different than catching a STD from a hooker in South Korea.
"The nation absolutely owes a lot to vets who were wounded in combat...." [emphasis mine]
I think the insinuation was quite clear.
PS: FWIW, the A-6E is an airplane; not a helicopter.

Hum, so in your eyes the lifetime of pain and 2-surgeries that I've experienced from me herniating a disc in my back because the Marine Corps didn't think E-2s deserve any help in moving their family for duty shouldn't be compensated because it didn't happen in combat? How about the PTSD that I acquired by having an E-6E "Intruder" blowing up so close to me that I sustained 1st-degree flash burns on my face? It was also NOT combat-related, but I would have died had that plane not come from El Toro, and been loitering in the area - depleting its fuel before the explosion and its crash. Or the damage to my sinuses sustained when an officer ordered me into the area of the burning wreckage of that crash without ANY protective gear or training to secure the area and search for survivors? I don't deserve my 70% rating for the PTSD because I didn't get it in combat?
That's a BS thought process you've got there.
On another note, being thanked for my service makes me uneasy because no one was thanking me from 1982 to 1986 when I served.

It's strange seeing you all discussing depriving people of their property without a hearing when the police already do this routinely. People have had their money taken simply because the police officer thought they had too much cash on them; therefore, they must be a drug-dealer. How about "emanate domain" as well?
Guys, I absolutely hate this, but if we don't figure this out SOON then we'll be looking at disarmament once the MAJORITY of the people in the country get fed-up with the mass shootings.

I have no experience with them but console vault looks neat. It would go into your center console and then gets screwed into the console. A little bit easier access than a box under the seat but I also imagine anyone breaking into the car is going to open up the console lid and see the locked safe.
I have a console safe in my truck. Yes, they can open the lid and see the safe, but it would be hard to get it out/open. Hard = time, and most criminals want to move quickly.

Because you can't get 10 people to show up at the Capitol in support of firearms rights.
Everybody thinks Tennessee is the Patron State of Shooting Stuff, but in reality none of the sheet shooters, or squirrel, deer or duck hunters, IPDQ shooters, Long Range shooters, silhouette shooters, handgun carriers think it is necessary to take a days vacation to drive to Nashville.
For 20 years I have been burning my vacation to try and stem the tide of infringement here, and as important as it has been this year, I have been the only one outside of a guy named Tobi Maire, (who by the way is a German Ex Pat on paid duty for T Rex Arms who hurts us far more than he helps).
This from the Day the Director of the TBI said the 2nd Amendment only covered muskets...
Ooops!

While I agree with that in principle, I did it exactly that in 1992, voting for Ross Perot. All that did was pull enough conservative votes away from GOP George W. Bush to give Bill Clinton enough votes to win. That didn’t work out as planned to say the least!
Yeah, it's amazing how many people on this forum can't understand this. I don't like it, but I understand it.

Just from the standpoint of most news broadcasts, it appears vital to identify race...especially if cacausian. It lends more fodder for liberals to scream over.
White man with a gun responsible!!
FWIW...this is out of sequence and time. I was pulled away from my initial sitdown and typing.
Wife and my UTI pulled me away. Ok. I've said it.
I'm an old man with UTI. Hurts to pee. Burning pain and pressure afterwards. Yes I got Meds Friday. It's better, but not by much. Another couple days before relief I think.
And no for those who are thinking an STD! LOL! I ain't that kind of guy! Maybe in my 20's...but I learned.
You should check on whether you have Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. I never had a UTI, (as men usually don't get it because of the length of our urethrae), until my prostate grew. I ended up having my prostate operated on to prevent another one, and pee better. After the surgery, I felt like I was pissn' with a fire-hose.
