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.
-
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.

Davidson County Firearms on Private Property
Defender replied to Mark in Hermitage's topic in General Chat
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. -
I’ve been to several in Europe and England. I was most impressed with the Lorraine American Military Cemetery in St. Avold, France, and the one in Luxembourg where Patton is buried. Also visited the Vietnam Nam War Memorial and the WW2 Memorial on my only trip to dc. And both were awesome inspiring.
-
That’s a real fear of mine! But after reading your post, I might just try a na beer.
-
Nice! I like my Gerber LMF Infantry, I have one in black and one in desert. Pretty tough knives.
-
This is the way I was. Couldn’t have just one or two, but didn’t need it. Didn’t drink at work. But found myself drinking every night to excess. Mostly at home, not bothering anyone, but still. I stopped many years ago and am glad I did. Contrary to you though, I DO miss having an ice cold beer in a hot afternoon, or a nice glass of whiskey on a cold night in front of the fire. But I’m afraid I’ll fall back into my old habit if I do. My father and all of my j Cole’s on both sides were alcoholics and full of bad behavior. My childhood was filled with experiences that at the time seemed exciting, but were actually traumatic. You’d think i Would know better. I didn’t start drinking until I was probably 25 or so and stationed overseas. So glad I don’t drink now, and sometimes wonder how much it may have hurt me.

How much use have the PSA g-e3 mags seen?
-
Happy birthday! I’m right behind you, I turned 70 last month.
-
I read a post by him on either Rumble or X where he said he had no interest whatsoever in working for the govt again. He went on to say that if Trump wanted him and asked him, he would serve again, at no salary, but he said I'm definitely NOT interested otherwise.
-
I stopped drinking many years ago, but I do miss it sometimes. A cold,beer on a hot day, or even better a nice glass of good whiskey to sip while sitting in front of a good fire on a cold winter night…ahhh simple pleasures.
-
That’s what I did.
-
My EDC is an Sig P-365 XL Spectre (non-comp) that I added a Macro grip module to. But I also have and like my Glock 43x that was customized by Shark Coast Tactical out of Florida.I've got several PSA 15 rounders for it. Beautiful gun, I’m just more used to carrying my Sig.

If anyone old as dirt like me has problems with finding names in lots of names on lists, LOL, two of the recommended candidates are write-ins: Paul Babaz of Atlanta, Georgia and Charles Brown of Dayton, Ohio. Also the change in the Certificate of I corporation is at the bottom of the page labeled Ballot at the top. So you would put two separate sheets in the envelope. At least that’s what I did. If any of you sharper guys see any errors in my guidance, yell out!

I’ll be filling mine out with their recommendations today! Thanks.
-
I got the latest issue of the NRA magazine and it has a ballot for board of director voting. I’m only still fooling with them because I got a life membership before Wayne’s escapades got a lot of attention. Anyway, I don’t seem to recognize any of the candidates. I’m old though and may have forgot. Does anyone have any knowledge about any of them? Can you Recommend anyone? Thanks, guys.
