Defender

Welcome!

I saw this yesterday in a video from the Glockstore: https://rumble.com/v6rm6h9-breaking-glock-news-glock-to-discontinue-a-lot-of-guns.html?mref=zxjwr&mc=76gis&_kx=6VbWrod690Kva4FCGGyU0LqfCGfnDXdCgj-SXD9CYEuLpW1R2MRENflJ3E_C0bsD.THLkmh

I had that older age epiphany recently too. I built much of my knife and gun collection, along with ammo, on the survive an apocalypse scenario. I finally realized that my age, couple with a dependency on several different meds will insure I don’t survive long in such a scenario. Now I find myself trying to rethink what I have, pare down to what I enjoy and really need and liquidate the rest. The problem arise in that as soon as I sell one gun I find 3 others I “need”. The pain is real, LOL.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I’ve seen that on Amazon before. Is it good? Some of the radio books I’ve bought there were a waste.

Very cool. Thank you!

I bought several radios so far, all handhelds. I have a pair of Baofeng GM-15 GMRS radios, a Baofeng UV-82, a Baofeng/BTECH BF-8HP Pro and a Yaesu VX-5R. I study off and on for my Ham license but have not been as serious as I should be about that. On a positive note, I aced my test for my GMRS license, other than knowing that the GM-15s are for GMRS, I have no clue why I need 2 other Baofengs and a Yaesu radio.

I’m trying to do that. Halfway studying for my ham license and bought several handheld radios already, 2 specifically for GMRS, Baofeng GM-15 Pros. Haven’t really learned how to use them yet, LOL. WRTG665

Not sure it would have went so peaceful here in Nashville, particularly East Nashville. I saw a post on an East Nashville Facebook page that included a picture. That post wasn’t too bad, but many of the following comments got pretty bad. I know many people, maybe most people are all talk, but they were calling for actual violence against Trump supporters and ‘Nazis’ that support Elon Musk. I copied a picture from the original post and have. Question because I don’t understand the significance of the object defaced by graffiti, if there is one. Can anyone enlighten me?

I’ve been 280 for years. Primarily due to a few illnesses and mounjaro, I’m down to 245. I am trying to at least keep it there, but my goal is to get as close to 200 as I can. When I was in the military, I was always very close to my max weight even with very little fat. My doc says well, that’s not the best way to lose weight, but we will take it. LOL. I was prescribed mounjaro for my diabetes, not for weight loss. Oh, and I started with Trulicity, but had to cycle through a few different manufacturers products due to the way they became unobtainium due to people getting them for weight loss, LOL.

I had prostate cancer last year/early this year. In addition to the radiation therapy I had, I took some oral meds. I was wiped out tired all the time. Not sure which or if both contributed to that, but it was rough. I can’t imagine doing all that you did. Good for you. p.s I’m in remission now.

Can’t answer your question, but the round has always intrigued me. I had a friend that had kne years ago, the FN model, and he hardly ever shot it because the ammo was high, plus there were hardly any holsters made for it. I’m sure the ammo is cheaper now, and I imagine there are better holster selections now that other gun manufacturers are making guns in that caliber. I think I saw that S&W is making one and I know Ruger is too as well as Keltec. Only concern I might had would be overpenetration. But the lrecoil you mentioned is certainly an attraction.

I had one of the older Tacomas, before they were mid-size, that only had 2 doors and fold down jump seats that folded down from the sides. Never liked that truck, and I know now they are different but some memories persist, especially bad ones, LOL. Got a pretty good deal on a 2019 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E a couple years ago and I love it. It’s the roomiest interior of any of the mid sized trucks. I absolutely love that truck. Only issue I have is I really don’t like the tonneau cover on it. I went with the Honda OEM cover as it was one of the few that allowed the trunk to fully open. But with the cover on, and folded up, I lose too much bed space. If I had it to do over again, I think I would have gone with a retractable metal cover.

I love that.

I rent at near year 2000 rate. Wish I’d bought years ago outside Davidson county. Kinda stuck here now til I win the lottery. Dream of having one in the country where I could go out on my porch and shoot and also have an outdoor range like Hickok45 has.
