  1. I'll take your word for it; the pictures don't show up and the link doesn't work here.
  2. I don't see it that way, I think they prefer the perp to be done away with so they don't contradict their narrative supporting their anti-2A agenda.
  3. Must say, these Henrys sure look good:
  4. Really? I kind of like it, and I'm not the biggest fan of lever actions. I broke down and got me one on a trade, a Browning in .308 just to have a lever in my stable, but was highly disapointed in my last one, a Winchester in 30/30. With the side mounted scope, big drop and limited ammo, bullet, choice it just didn't stay with me long.
  5. That was up to Starbucks to deal with, which they did as it should be. If an employee can't/won't deal with a company policy, maybe they need to reevaluate their job choice. In the meantime, they can call LEO, LEO can ask the customer to leave, problem solved. Pro 2A laws...where to start. How long before some, not all, restrictions were lifted for a CCW permit holder? Carry in State Parks, private companies operating in the park, i.e. concert or other event are allowed to post. School activities in the parks, even if you are not aware. Guns in cars, sure but though they let you carry, can't your boss fire you for bringing it to work, even in the lot? Of course, I'm screwed anyway because I work on Ft Campbell. And oh yea, loaded long guns during hunting season, has that been addressed? There's at least one warden that I wouldn't take a chance on it doing it in front of, even in my Sunday go to church clothes.
  6. I don't think anyone wants to tell a business they can't post, but it is squarely on them to deal with their customers as they see fit. Nobody stopped Starbucks from kicking out those cops because one of their snowflakes felt unsafe now did it? If the cops, or in our case the customer, refuses to leave, then they can have him tresspassed. I've only been here for 19.5 years, as a supposed simpethetic 2A State, we certainly don't have the right law makers in place with anything bigger than BBs or they would have passed meaningfull 2A legislation by now. All the supposed pro 2A laws I've seen passed always comes with anti-gun loopholes.
  7. Black stands out in the sand.
  8. Everyone above pretty much cover it, except the whole shoot to wound vs kill. You never shoot to kill, you shoot to stop the act that is endangering your, or someone else's life. Of course, you don't want them to continue life threatening acts after you shoot them, so you keep shooting until they stop.
  9. It is my understanding that not all FFLs will accept a transfer from a non FFL, so in those cases a seller would have to have a local FFL ship the weapon for them, probably incurring an additional fee.

    Generators, especially emergency backup ones, need Preventative Maintenence Checks and Services (PMCS) Gas engines need to be run at least once a month for a few minutes, stabil needs to be added to the fuel, even if no methanol (prefered) , and fuel should be changed out once a year (some say 6 months) if not used. But converting a personal one to propane will greatly diminish the amount of maintenence required, and is relatively inexpensive to do:
  11. Mine expires in January, so I may get one then, since I'll probably be forced to show all my stuff in person again.
  12. If he is allowed to retire that won't affect his pay, they calculate your highest 3 years of rank.
  13. Wow, can you send me some seeds for those hollow points?
  14. Technically we are already there. Drivers licences can be searched by any LEO no matter what state, and SSNs are also linked to your profile. All these REAL Ids do is make sure you are a US citizen, or legally here, before receiving one. Since a licence is optional, though essential, they are not forcing you to comply. I do believe most states will keep a non-REAL Id option as well. Now, if we could only have all states make it mandatory to have a REAL Id to vote, we'd be going somewhere.
  15. Your mil id would do just fine, not sure about the VA id. When I got my license a few years ago, I had to show my naturalization certificate, and my passport. That, as I was told, was to be compliant with the REAL Id act. I'll try again tomorrow when I fly out, see if they accept it or not.
  16. My training certificate from 06', has my gun's info on it but no SN, just make, model, and caliber. That was my biggest concern when I deployed, what I would do under fire. In my head, I felt I would react properly but one never knows until it happens. Fortunately my reactions were what I thought they would be, and I was much calmer than even I suspected I would be. Some of my fellow troops needed some encouragement, but nothing as bad as all that.
  17. Mine has 3 gold stars in a swoosh on the back, and I recently flew on it, and will again tomorrow. They have been issuing these for some time now, not sure why it says Jul 1st since TN has been compliant for at least a year or two and did not need/request an extension/waiver when it became mandatory back in Jan 2018.
  18. This could have been easily accomplished by passing constitutional carry. I personally am not for this new change, it is just pandering to the pro-gun folks that don't seem to realize that it doesn't do much for them since most pro-gun folks already have their "not really enhanced" CCW permit. I think it is a personal responsibility to make sure you know how to handle a gun, but it should not be legislated.
  19. I'm ok with it, seems so many wrecks are caused by inattentive drivers, and phones being, IMO, the #1 distractor it is about time.
  20. I'm sure EMS was called, LEO can't pronounce him dead. I'm fairly sure they knew he was dead, but until a doctor verifies it they can't do much. Due to the LEO involved shooting, the scene was left as intact as possible. I'm getting tired of blaming LEO for the deaths of these scumbags, they are in the game, with death as an inevitable outcome, why is anyone surprised when it happens. The friends and family are in it as well, there is no way he could have had the kind of money he showed off otherwise, so they are as complicit in this as he was. They also seem to be glossing over the crime he was being sought for, I guess as long as it happens to others it's ok.
  21. This was not due to Trump winning, a Hillary win may have extended this a bit but the outcome would have been the same. This was corporate raiding, plain and simple. https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/2019/06/11/sc-based-gun-distributor-ellett-brothers-goes-bankrupt-lawsuit-says/1420812001/ These maggots should be caged, I don't see how this can be legal.
  22. No, just wash, dry, then vacuum them. Since I dice them up for my salsa, I also just chop them up while still frozen. I may try and pickle some, sliced, for nachos and such, but those I'll do while fresh.
  23. I don't can, I normally just vacuum seal my peppers and freeze them, they seem to keep just fine. I may get into it later, if I can get my tomatoes to give me a large harvest, right now I just share with friends and make a whole bunch of salsa. I have a rain barrel system out on my hunting property, three 55gl blue barrels with overflow. At home I don't mind using the hose, its just that much of the water would water the neighbors grass using a sprinkler. The soaker hose puts it right on the garden, which is the only thing that needs extra water, I can't remember the last time I watered the grass.
  24. They should have tested all their non-lethal riot gear, that is only emboldening these lowlifes when there is no consequences for their actions. I'd be danged if I would let someone hurl chunks of concrete at me without a response.
  25. I seen some raised garden kits for sale on Craigslist, from a company, and decided to give them a try. Now I see that Home Depot, has the connectors to use with wood. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Oldcastle-7-5-in-x-7-5-in-x-5-5-in-Tan-Brown-Planter-Wall-Block-16202336/206501693 Mine are cement, but the "boards" are kind of fragile, I've already broke a couple. I chose this spot because it's the only decent spot in the yard, sun wise. I use garden fabric to keep the weeds at bay. I still have to weed in between, so I bought a stirrup hoe at the PX for less than $20 which works great for that. Once the tomatoes get taller, I cage them, but next year I'm considering using the yoyo and string method. https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Retractable-Stopper-Support-Hydroponics/dp/B07GNHQQD9 I ran electric fence, not energized yet, for the rabbits and these guys. I ran one last year and it worked good, but my energizer went bad so had to get a new one. Last year we had some dry spells, and the sprinkler wasted too much water, so this year I hot a cheap soaker hose at harbor freight. I ran it in a zigzag pattern because running it down the furrows didn't water evenly. Last year I had a huge hot pepper harvest, so this year I kind of overdid the tomatoes, but I also planted more cucumbers and some sweet potatoes and a few peppers again. I have some asparagus in containers, but need to read up on them, I don't want them taking over the garden.
