E4 No More

All of the personalities, no, but the main contributors, yes. I have only met three members face-to-face, but I have a good sense of many of the active posters on this site. I know which ones that I would get along with in person, and which ones that I would not get along with in person. That comes with time reading copious posts. We should always keep in mind that writing only conveys 7% of our communication skills. The remaining 97% is from voice-inflections, facial expressions, and body language. Without that 97% it's very easy to convey the wrong message - particularly if it's a "Joke."

I guess that's up to the person you intended it for to determine that. Morgan88 appears to be a rather new member and thus not accustom to the personalities on this site yet.

White Castle or Krystals =

Kind of rude, dude.

You mean Deputy U.S. Marshall.

I don't think handling a gun in a crowded room is a good idea unless there's hot lead about to be thrown around.

Don't beat your significant other or get convicted of a felony and you'll be ok.

Wouldn't the gunsmith up in Greenbriar be able to do that? What's his name, Jeff Wahl?

I was taught how to shoot with a BB Gun in junior high school gym class in the early 70's. In 1982 to 1986, the Marine Corps was all about old school marksmanship. The Missouri State Highway Patrol Academy in 1988 was also old school marksmanship. All of them taught sight alignment; sight picture - along with breath control, trigger squeeze, etc. As a young'un the sights were lost on my BB gun, so I learned to look down the barrel focusing on my target to shoot up various plastic army men, models that I had built, or various other crap in the yard. It was as a teenager when I shot the rabbit that bolted across my path and making my friend's jaw hit the ground in shock. It was on the handgun range that I'd been known just to point, shoot, and hit what I was looking at. After quitting the police department 1993 and going to school, I got out of shooting anything, (not even owning a gun), for over 15 years. It's been around the past 14 years that I've owned guns but not shot very much because of other distractions and living in LaVergne. Now that I live on acreage in Lascassas I've been wanting to shoot more which is why I'm building my bullet stop. I still have a lot of distractions, but once I get the dirt piled up against the railroad ties this spring I hope to shoot a lot more. I wish I had a day's access to a good sized backhoe to pile the dirt 8.5' high. It would be a lot easier on an old man.

A bit off topic, but some of the best shots that I have ever made was from my getting out of my head, looking at what I wanted to hit, pointing the gun (or arrow) at what I wanted to shoot, and pulling the trigger. The theory put forth is that you naturally point at what you look at - although me hitting a rabbit in the heart while on the run at 40 yards with an field arrow could arguably be luck. I'm not referring to cowboy shoot-out style here. Many times during a gunfight either the gun, or the gun hand/arm, is shot because the opposition is focusing their eyes on the weapon pointed back at him/her. The problem with me is that "Sight alignment; sight picture" was ingrained into me for most of my life. Once I get my bullet stop finished out back I plan to develop point-shooting further. It's much faster, and I need that as I get older.

I have a P320 full size and a P320 carry size. Both converted to .357 Sig. Having extra large hands, what drew me to them was the ability to get frames for different hand sizes. I don't really care for the cheap-looking grip inserts that Glock and the M&P have. Anyway, I've never really had any problems out of them for the few years that I've owned them.

Looks like the same photo from a different angle. Fish heads and rice isn't sustaining that dude very well.

I bought one and wore it once. It was too uncomfortable. Felt like I was wearing compression socks around my chest.

I thought Murfreesboro yanked all of their red light cameras out?

The smaller the tank the harder it is to keep up with it. I had a freshwater tank but wanted to have a saltwater tank for a long time so I read a lot about them. Keeping my 75 gallon freshwater tank was too big of a PITA for me, so I never got into the saltwater tank.

When I was a cop anything under 10 MPH over the speed limit was considered a chicken ticket.

.224 Valkyrie of my own concoction.

Normally I carry a Taurus Slim 9 because it's the easiest for a fat man to carry. I'm thinking of getting the P365 SAS instead. When I'm traveling out of state or going somewhere that I can reasonably expect higher risk I carry my P320 Carry in .357 Sig.

What on earth would make anyone believe that MSNBC would report the results accurately if it was in favor of the gun?

Well, there's Burmese Pythons there too so go figure. Also, the Green Iguanas are Mexican.

Vietnamese gators?

That's why I have my live-in grandsons take the trash out.

Yep, those two-legged critters are the most dangerous...at least around here. Now if I was around Grizzly, Kodiak, Brown, or Polar bears I might feel differently.

I seem to recall that time is a factor with rabies treatment in humans. In other words, there's a narrow window in which that treatment is viable; therefore, the sooner they start the better. If that's indeed true then they can wait for symptoms to appear. EDIT: https://www.who.int/rabies/Rabies_Clinicians_FAQs_21Sep2018.pdf "Rabies is almost always fatal once clinical signs occur." So waiting around can be deadly.
