FUJIMO

Well I guess I am just one of those that overreacts when someone comes in my house that shouldn't be there. First thing I do is look at it from the other end. In this case the supposed painter/intruder. How many of you have ever crossed the threshold plate into someone's home that was a COMPLETE STRANGER and gave no verbal acknowledgement that you were there ? H#ll even the police say POLICE when they politely kick your door in. WHY ? Because they don't like being shot at either ! Language barriers aside any attempt from the painter/intruder to send out a verbal message letting Wrangler know someone was there would have helped a lot. Aside from the fact that he didn't knock on the door, another common tradition of entering a strangers home, he felt it was o.k. to just stroll on in. Looking at it from the other side, I guess it boils down to how I was reared. I don't waltz on in to anyone's home, not even family, without letting them know I am inside the home. "Hello" or "anyone home" is the first words out of my mouth upon entry. If I don't hear a reply I usually stand near the door until I get one. Crazy and cautious as it may sound we've all heard where 1 family member shot another by accident because they thought they were an intruder. And I've never seen an intruder yet, even on T.V., that yelled out "I'm coming in to rob/rape/kill YOU" !!

Thanks for the clarification

Congrats

Definition of condition orange ?

In all seriousness I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing. Luckily I live in the country so anyone coming through my door in that manner is prone to see a gun in their face.Even my family knocks !!! I'm not saying I draw everytime I hear a knock, lol, but I make sure to have something close by at all times. And while there may be a language barrier I think the gun alone should be a universal sign for RUN AWAY QUICKLY !!!

Maybe is was the chef to see if your lunch came out alright

See, the problem with this "plinker" being in my posession is it would never leave my safe, LMAO. Very nice Smith Dave.

Well He's NO TIGER :rolleyes:

HA HA HA, I've told my dad about that skit several times. Still cracks me up. It surprises me how some of the non actor types they get to host turn out to be very entertaining. Lebron James Peyton Manning And my all time favorite Justin Timberlake. He could be part of the regular cast and make that show as popular as it once was.

ROFL, do you recall what business that was ? I'd love to get a pic of that.

I started that thread and was amused it has fetched 611 posts, rofl. Is that suppose to be a record for a thread ?!? If so, that would be 's(in place of using his name) greatest achievement yet .

ROFLMMFAO I agree. Great read. Man I love TGO

ROFL

Unfortunately the type of thinking David is referring to is the reason some children are coming out of the school system and can't read or even write their own name. There was a local high school football player that received a scholarship for UT only to find out down the road that he had the reading skills of a preschooler. Even then they tried to sweep it under the rug. I went to school with this player and know EXACTLY why he turned out the way he did. I make an effort while online to use proper english but don't go out of my way to make sure it doesn't sound "country". I am a born and raised Tennesseean and I am VERY proud of that fact. I could start using the normal country slang but then I would look just as foolish as those guys on calguns that use Kalifornian slang. Although if you read what I post online and then talk to me at a gun show you will think I have split personalities. Just ask some members that know me

For me personally, claimed "round count" is on a gun by gun case. If it's a hunting bolt action and it looks like it's seen almost no field time and the owner backs that claim up, I am likely to believe him. However, if it's a cheap little .22 and I hear "I put 1 mag through it" but the slide has significant wear, grips are beat up, etc., then not only do I pass on the gun but I file that person's face in my "guy to watch" memory bank for future shows, lol. Attend enough shows and you learn faces and know who you can trust for the most part. But for me the gun will tell the tale for most cases. Case in point, I asked about a .22 this past weekend and the guy said it had been used "very little". But upon inspection of the gun the slide had a good amount of wear to it. Enough wear to remove the paint that displayed the guns name and model. Needless to say I passed and place his face into my memory bank. It all boils down to who you can trust

Glad to see I'm not the only one who wants to bite through nails when I see this. And I see it daily

ROFLMMFAO !! I was thinking the same thing Bush causes Katrina through the use of wizardry. Therefore, following lib logic, bush made the saints win. I am calling him tomorrow about my powerball ticket

funny you should mention that part. That's exactly what I am alluding to about the whole pre game. If it wasn't shots of the saints stadium in shams post katrina it was shots of N.O. laying under water. Then it was talk of how N.O. needs this win to breathe life back into the city. And how much they deserve it more so than the colts. Then to the O and his agenda ( a summarized state of the union speech). Then to Plaxico and the HORRIBLE act he committed. Then back to more "poor saints" propaganda. To me it was like flashcards for football fans. Little bit of football, liitle bit of liberal nonsense. then repeat. Pitiful :poop:

Good to see some of the youth still knows right from VERY WRONG !

CBS= GIGANTIC LIBERAL'S nuff said !

Well those of you that missed the pre-game were lucky. They should have just called the 2pm to 6pm "pregame show" the "katrina flashback" broadcast, lol

That was just a virus ! This is the full blow hard version we are dealing with now

I was just letting fellow members know there is a gun show this weekend in kingsport. It's being held at the Civic Auditorium and is hosted by Gunslingers. This will be my first time at this show but I asked about it at the last meadowview and gray show and the response was positive so I am going to give it a shot on Saturday.

I've always found it's best to be there early and check with the incoming crowd. Also all depends on what you are looking for. If it's a unique newer gun chances are there won't be any from the private traders and the only chance at getting one is from a dealers table. This show is more rifles and shotguns from the private crowd. At least that's what I saw the last time I went. You might want to check out the GUNSLINGERS show in kingsport this weekend. I've never been to it but others I talked to at the gray and meadowview show say it's a decent show. I am going to start a thread for it for those interested.

I heard talk today of some kind of "override" they are thinking about implicating so if this issue were to happen again there would be like an emergency KILL ALL. I didn't catch the whole story but what I took from it was we are probably looking at something down the road to be installed on ALL cars just like what they are talking about for toyota. Personally I don't want something like that but I guess it's not up to me. Just like when I asked a dealer about buying a new car without airbags. It should be my choice if I want the da*n things or not. It wouldn't affect anyone else's life but my own. But that's another story (end rant)
