  1. leafinthewind, If you haven't figured it out yet, if you ask for opinions on this board, you will get 'em. We got quite a few very opinionated, grumpy old farts (including me) that will tell you exactly what they think. Not all these opinions will be what you want or expect. Actually, I don't personally know anybody who has done this. I sure haven't. But I guess I'm one of those evil hoarders as I've made it a practice to keep a good stock of ammo and components on hand for many years now. I actually have plenty to ride out the shortage. However, I'm not trying to sell it to the unprepared at scalper prices either. No offense, but I suggest you grow yourself some thicker skin.
  2. Something like that is exactly what I'm looking for. But it doesn't seem to exist.
  3. I've read the articles, searched the web and I still can't find a straight answer. Exactly where can can an enhanced handgun permit holder carry that a citizen can't under permitless carry? Exactly where is permitless carry not allowed? I know about parks and greenways, but where else? I found and understand all the rules and qualifications for permitless carry. But nowhere do I find any specific information on where it is or isn't allowed. I really think this needs to be cleared up before someone accidentally gets themselves into trouble.
  4. I got this story in an e-mail from Guns America. It brings up some interesting questions. Hunter Biden Incident Shows that Gun Laws are for the Little People
  5. I could be wrong, but that looks more like a display of Police captured weapons rather than a gangster showing off.
  6. I'm thinking Clyde Barrow. He was known to be quite fond of BARs, sawed off shotguns and 1911s.
  7. If you don't need them, pass. Let this guy rip off somebody else. I can only see people in dire need resorting to such extortion. I certainly wouldn't have any part of it. While I doubt that prices will ever go back to what they once were, I have no doubt that the supply will eventually catch back up and prices will go down.
  8. Yet another in Texas today. [url=https://www.aol.com/news/police-multiple-people-hurt-shooting-210845646-222902596.html] Story Here [/url] This one seems to be a work place related event. Details are still sketchy at this time, but LEOs did say they believe the shooter was an employee. Any other year this sort of thing would make local news for a couple of days and quietly go away. of course with Biden starting his big gun control push, MSM is gonna milk these stories for all they can get. Personally, I think the Covid has a lot to do with these recent shootings. This last year or so has been tough on everybody. A lot tougher on some. I think some folks are starting to lose it big time and take out their anger and frustrations on innocent people.
  9. Actually Bar-B-Qued goat is quite delicious.
  10. And Easter this weekend.
  11. Ok, I got an e-mail from TFA today about this new law and it pointed out a couple of restrictions, but not all. Under the new law a citizen can not carry in a park or greenway. Also, certain misdemeanors prohibit you from carry including stalking or DUI. Apparently there are more restrictions, that are not mentioned in the article. So does anybody have or can they work up a list of ALL the restrictions on permitless carry? I'm really curious about all this because I know several non-permited folks who want to carry, but lack info. Another question: There was a vague mention of carrying in schools. Can an enhanced permit holder carry in schools? I thought that was always prohibited?
  12. That's part of my question. Where can an enhanced permit holder carry that this law doesn't allow non-permitted citizens to go armed?
  13. The government has had a ton of info on me ever since I was 18 and joined the Army. Birthday, blood type, SSN, and who knows what they got when checking for my security clearances. I have a voter registration card, a carry permit and an IP address. Over the years the file just keeps growing. Personal privacy has been a myth since at least the 1960s. Now as Papa pointed out, can we please get back to the subject at hand? I'd like to get my question answered.
  14. Ok, forgive me, but as a long time permit holder I haven't really been following the details of all this. Exactly how does this bill differ from true Constitutional Carry and what are these restrictions I keep hearing about?
  15. Long term? I've still got my Daddy's Remington 11-48 that he bought used back in the early 1950s. He used it quite a bit and it was my hunting shotgun for many years until I finally quit hunting. I still shoot it now and then and it works just fine. Most any quality shotgun will outlast your lifetime will decent care. If I were you, I'd wait until a good Remington or Mossberg is available.
  16. People all over the world and on this board have been arguing back and forth about this virus for over a year now. Both sides have valid points, but are also just rehashing the same things over and over again. I. too, believe that there is some sort of conspiracy involved, perhaps many. But I still don't know what, why or who might be involved. Odds are that none of us will ever know for sure. I see no point in continuing to beat this poor, dead horse. The one thing that I do know is that on the advice of several of my personal doctors, whom I trust and have managed to keep my sorry butt alive much longer than I should have, I was a good puppy and got my shots. I will keep wearing a mask and I will keep social distancing. I truly believe we have a very long way to go yet. What you do or believe is entirely up to you.
  17. 42 years of listening to diesel engines has taken a toll on my hearing. My problem is that my hearing loss in in a fairly narrow range. Unfortunately that range is right where human speech falls. I can hear high or low sounds just fine. But can't understand what a person is saying right in front of me. Back in 2012, for the first time in my life, we got health insurance that would actually cover hearing aids and I got a set. At the time these were state of the art 8 channel models. Now days they go up to 16 channels, maybe more. Even with insurance paying more than half the cost, I had to pay $3000 on my end. But now being retired and on medicare, I have no coverage at all. My only option is to keep the ones I have working and with them getting old, they need fixing from time to time. Just spent $245 getting one of them fixed a few days ago. I can't afford to replace them because the ones I need would run around $8-10K. Another problem I have is background noise. By the time my Audiologist gets them adjusted to where I can hear and understand people talking, any background noise at all just drowns them right out. Restaurants are the absolute worst. Dishes clattering, people talking, etc. Several times on one of my all too rare dates, I've had to take them out because the background noise was so bad I couldn't understand a word the lady across the table was saying. Frankly, its gotten to the point that I only wear them when watching TV or go to a movie. At least then I can hear what the actors are saying and keep up with the story. The hearing aids sold at Costco, Sam's, on the internet or what have you only amplify all the sounds around you. Pretty much useless if you're like me. Same problem, just louder. If you have hearing problems, I strongly suggest you go see a good Audiological Doctor and see what they recommend.
  18. Its Memphis. Nothing those idiots do surprises me one bit. I doubt there are two active brain cells in the entire city council.
  19. I got the same e-mail. It goes on to caution the BATFE will fight the decision and has very deep pockets. So while this is good news, the battle is far from over.
  20. Back when my sons were young and I was a Boy Scout Leader (1988-2000) our troop did two special camping trips each year. One each to teach and earn the Rifle and Shotgun Merit badges. We started weeks before with classroom work at the regular weekly Troop Meetings and finished with a weekend of live fire. I taught the classroom part several times. Even 20 years ago I had to spend a good portion of the class dispelling anti-gun propaganda that had been taught to them. The course wasn't just safety and function, but also included the 2nd Amendment and history of firearms. The boys were eager to learn and every one earned their Merit Badges. These two camping trips were the biggest of the year as many fathers and even mothers on occasion wanted in on the fun.
  21. They have said that the guy felt he was the victim of anti-Islamic prejudice. So it is likely that he targeted white people. But he's also been described as being extremely paranoid and had a bad temper. I think its just another case of a complete nut job who finally snapped.
