I know diabetes is tough for a human, let alone a good dog that wouldn't understand the need for shots, or the need to give up her favorite foods. I would just try to limit any high carb foods to try to protect her eye sight and brain function. Mine got up to over 800 when I was diagnosed and it messed my head up until they got it under control I couldn't think literally and it messed my eyes up enough that I have to wear glasses all the time now.

I'm not really and IWB sort of guy, but that looks great! Almost makes me want to try one.
I resisted for years as well HP I got my first one as a bonus on a Glock 30 I bought from another TGO member, and I honestly hated it at first. After I wore it a few times and got use to the feel it really grew on me, I hardly ever carry OTW now.
-
If whomever is handling the fund to help out with this would please PM me I would be honored to chip in, I have a little mad money saved up towards buying my next Glock, but I don't mind a bit to wait a little longer. We lost our little Rosie last year and it hit the whole family really hard, BG shouldn't have to put a thought into the expense of taking care of his dear friend if we can help.

As Dave says, the biggest thing national reciprocity would achieve would be to take the right to create carry laws from the states and hand them to the feds. Even worse, it would open the door for Kalifornistan style regulations to be put into place in all states. Many proponents like to point at drivers' licenses and an example of how carry permits ought to work. Those folks don't seem to consider than many of the regulations that apply to automobiles, emissions, etc. that begin on the left coast are often used as models for federal regulation. Why, then, do people believe that firearms related rules would be any different?
https://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/30/epa-allows-california-emissions-rules/
It is no stretch to imagine the fed - especially under an anti-gun administration - deciding, "Anyone with a valid carry permit issued by any state can legally carry in any state that has a procedure by which a private citizen can legally carry a firearm. However, in the interest of uniformity the list of 'California legal' firearms will be applied to all privately carried firearms in the country. Henceforth, only firearms on that list will be legal for sale to private individuals and any firearm that does not meet the criteria to be on this list will henceforth be illegal to carry by a private citizen."
That isn't even considering the likelihood that the fed will likely decide that, since a legal permit holder will be allowed to carry in any state, the rules, regulations and requirements for carry should match up to those of the most stringent state so that state isn't being 'forced' to allow those with 'less training' or who have been 'less thoroughly vetted' to carry in their state. National reciprocity is not a boon to gun owners/legal carriers and it certainly isn't worth trading away other rights in order to achieve it.
It is posts like this that makes me realize just how much more intelligent some of you are than I am, I never thought of it from this prospective

My 7 yr old goes in tomorrow morning around 8 am to have his tonsils and adenoids taken out, if you are the praying type please say a prayer for him. I know it's routine and a lot of kids have it done but I am still freaking a little over it!! He is our youngest and the others are all grown and gone so to say we are a little overprotective of him is an understatement lol

My guess is he knew dang well the cops would say no and was just trying to save face over running away, which IMHO was the only smart thing he did. In that situation anyone on ground level with a handgun was just one small step above completely useless, and this numb nuts was one huge step below useless armed or not!!!

And for the record, nobody is disrespecting the flag or the country, they are just asking the country to stand up for them before they stand up for it. Until then they will kneel and some like me will pray while kneeling that this country begins to actually live up to the ideals it purports to hold dear.
That is total and complete BS in the 10th degree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Disrespecting OUR Country and Flag IS the whole point. 99% of them are doing it because they are butt hurt over Trumps comment not 1 dang bit for any real protest.

They are starting a dialog between people about a difficult subject, just like we are doing in this thread.
I disagree, no one is having a dialog about a difficult subject, they are pissed as hell about a clear cut show of disrespect to our flag and national anthem. I don't care how many of them say it's not a show of disrespect that it BS, the same as Shannon Sharpe saying the flag is just a racist piece of cloth nobody would fight for.

Most people I know have no problem with the players protesting what they are protesting, it is the way they choose to do it we have a problem with. Taking a knee during the anthem is the main beef everyone has with it. Not the message itself!! I firmly support there right to protest whatever they want to, but I also have the right to disagree with their method of protesting and show my disagreement by boycotting all NFL programming and doing my best not to buy and products made by their sponsors. Their right to protest isn't being debated or the validity of the thing they are protesting, it has been almost forgotten because of the way they chose to protest, so I ask you what good is any of these protests doing??

I recently bought an S&W M&P .45 and wanted to get it into my carry rotation, so I bought a nice leather holster, I am partial to all leather myself. The problem I'm having is when I holster the weapon the front groves on the slide catch the inside of the holster tight enough to rack the gun. Anyone have any advice on how to stretch the new leather a bit so the fit isn't so tight?

First let me say that the way Dallas did their little protest is the way to go. They did their kneeling then promptly got up and respected the flag and the anthem, good for them. As to my reaction to ANY player who chooses the flag/anthem as their protest, screw them! I don't give a crap about what got their panties in a bunch that day, disrespecting the flag and what it stands for is never ok with me. While I served and fought for those rights, I don't have to like the way they exercise them. Just like the Westboro a-holes, I don't dispute their right to protest, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.

As I have said before, them taking a knee in protest isn't what I have a problem with. I have a problem with them taking a knee during the national anthem. I never have, and never will be a Dallas Cowboys fan, but the way they protested, but still honored the Flag and Anthem raised them in my eyes immeasurably!!

I'd say it's because Dylan Roof (white) killed blacks. It's not sensational when a black racist kills whites.

I support their right to peaceful protest, I do not support them. I don't care what they are protesting using the National anthem to do it is just wrong!!!!! It shows an utter disrespect for this country and its veterans no matter what they say about how much it doesn't. I will no longer watch any NFL games or purchase any NFL products, and will do my best not to buy anything that is advertised during the games.
My way to protest their protest.

The only problem I see with legalizing it is for the most part much of it is already legal. There are pain clinics on about every corner these days and for the most part they spend 15 minutes with a patient and then hand them a prescription for 100+ Loritabs and set the an appointment for the next month before they leave. I have known about 5 different people that do that and then they hit the street running selling them for 10 + bucks each. All of them have been caught at least 5+ times for selling prescription drugs and get locked up for about a month of two. Then with all the over crowding issues in jails they are back out and doing the same thing over and over. They are not the users but the sellers. When I found out what they were doing I told each one of them to never come to my house ever again and they have not been here again..................
I am a chronic pain suffer, and I go to a pain clinic. I take my meds as prescribed and do not sell any of them. I know there are a lot of pill mills out there, and I could have probably gotten into one, but I researched and made sure I found a legit Pain Dr who tries other pain management treatment than just loading me up on pain meds. I do take an Opioid pain med, but I also have lidocaine creams, and go to a massage therapist weekly to mitigate the pain to a tolerable level.
I know the opioid problem is huge right now, and needs to be gotten under control somehow, but all I've seen from the state is new stupid rules for patients.
In the past few months I have had to go to a Psychologist because the state of Tennessee says if I receive long term pain meds I have to.
I have to keep 2 doses of Narcan in my house, because the State says I have to (which I am not really adverse to but shouldn't be made to do it)
They get tougher on pain meds and surprise heroin starts popping up everywhere, then people are dying because they super charge it with Fentanyl. If people want something like this they will find a way to get it. I have no ideal what the answer is, but hope they find it soon.

This is an actual conversation I heard between two young men (looked to be 18-20) in line at Food City.
Guy 1: Well it looks like Trump is trying to get us into war with North Korea or Russia
Guy 2: Yeah, he is trying his best to pick a fight with them
1: Who would you rather go to war with?
2: Russia defiantly, North Korea has like 1000 missiles!!
1: I know they would blow us all up.
I just had to walk away and go to a different line before I grabbed them by the nape of the neck and shook some sense into them!!!! I probably had smoke coming out of my ears. How does someone get to be a legal adult and still be that stupid???????

I recently bought my 7 year old son a Chihuahua pup, and anyone who knows these little ankle bitters knows they stay cold all the time, I am crate training her and she would lay in her crate and just shiver. While looking for a small bed for her I came across these https://www.khpet.com/pet-bed-warmer.html After shopping around I got one from ebay for $17 with free shipping. They work almost to good lol if its cool in the house Lolly doesn't want to leave her bed now.
I would post some Pics of Lolly but that usually doesn't go well for me lol.

I am a die hard Vols fan and have been defending Jones all year but after this loss I'd say he is done at the end of the year if not sooner, it wouldn't surprise me if we loose the rest of the games this year. Bama is going to crush us, KY, Southern Miss and Missouri we might have a chance against but they could all be losses then LSU will most likely eat our lunch and Vandy will probably beat us again. I will be watch and screaming for my Vols thru it though and hoping for a better next season
