    Have heard that the Remington Golden Bullets are a bit higher quality than the Thunderbolts. Have a few boxes of Thunderbolts myself but haven't shot them yet.  Might be selling them now.

    I have shot lots of Thunderbolt. Only problem I have ever had is that they are dirty little rounds.

     And American eagle is in 40 round boxes  

    They have always pulled that crap for some reason. I know they do it to make their price look better at first glance. Not bad ammo, but you have to do the math.

    22LR is plentiful again. Most places have dropped the limit on purchases. Not sure about wallyworld. they were playing right in with those inbred neckbearded guys hands with their entourage of buyers though. :biglol:

    There has been .22lr around at most Walmarts I have visited.

    Has anyone noticed that at least Winchester has gone from 333 round boxes to 222 round and lowered the 555 round boxes to like 444 or something?

    Here's a clip from a 2010 Guns and Ammo Magazine about the million dollar Luger.

    What do you see wrong with it?

    In the film Wall Street, entrepreneur Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) takes his rival, Sir Larry Wildman (Terence Stamp), on a tour of his mansion, to include his gun collection, where he reaches into the glass case, removes a handgun and says, “Rarest piston in the world—the .45 Luger.”

    I am not sure I could make myself fire that gun. With my luck it would have a catastrophic failure while in my hands. lol

    Most folks bring their own carpet remnant or pad with them when they know they are going to shoot on those. They make a very nice platform for shooting.

    Some ranges I've been to even hand out a nice carpet pad when you sign in for shooting.

    Lots of flooring places have the sample carpet pieces that actually have an edge put on them. When we needed some for a project once, I think they were $1.00 each for ones that were old colors. They were 18x18 or maybe 24x24, I can't quite remember. 

  6. Seeing as a returning citizen that is in medical need would most likely be seen by medical staff first, I think the plague theory is thin. There are much easier ways to distribute a pathogen. Simply infecting a agent for your country and flying them around through major airports in the US would expose hundreds of people to an airborne illness. They could do this all in the guise of business travel. Then the ones they infect would exponentially spread it in their travels and at their destination. Plus, standard individuals would have less chance of causing a panic until it was too late to undo the issue. True, you might not get high ranking officials, but infecting a large portion of the population would do quite a good job in destroying the economy and putting us in chaos. Tie this in with something like additional dispersal vial aerosol in large office buildings HVAC units and you could make a lot of people sick real quick.

    Though anyone with a right mind would not disperse such a pathogen. It would be too easy for it to leak back across their borders in ways they did not anticipate. Maybe they would have an antidote, but dispersing it to the majority of their population would cause a lot of questions and possibly leak the info.

    This is from comic con 2016 but its pretty standard from what I've seen.  

    • All costume props and weapons must be inspected at the Costume Props Desk, located near the outside door in the lobby of Hall E.
    • All costume props and weapons must conform to state and federal law.
    • Projectile costume props and weapons must be rendered inoperable.
    • Functional (real) arrows must have their tips removed and be bundled and zip-tied to a quiver.
    • Costume swords must be tied to your costume in such a way that they can’t be drawn.
    • Costumes featuring stilts must be approved at the Costume Props Desk.
    • At certain times, due to crowds and safety issues, people in oversized costumes may be asked to leave the Exhibit Hall.
    • After your costume props have been checked, they will be tagged by security, and you will be given a wristband to wear to designate that your props have been checked.
    • Security will escort you to the Costume Props Desk for inspection if your costume prop is not tagged.

     

    And then of course it's getting worse as well.

    If so cosplay Deadpool do they have to render my mouth inoperable????

  8. I grew up in an area that was not very diverse but I still found out that that bad and good comes in all forms. 

    My fashion choices used to cause people to look at me strange and they were usually floored to find out that I was not some thug with a record. Instead I was a hard working student paying my own way through college. I have been followed around in stores, stopped on the street, pulled over, and generally harassed because I chose to dress how I wanted. I guess I got lucky that all those guards and officers were cool headed. I was never anything but polite and generally ended the encounter with a handshake and a "Have a good day".

    As an officer, these guys and gals must stay alert, but remember that aside from blatant criminal activity, the person they are interacting with is a citizen that they swore to protect. It should never be a "Us and Them" or race versus race issue. One day that officer might just need an armed citizen's help when things go to H3ll. I am sure then they will not care what race that person is or how they dress.

    A cheap pour over filter is maybe $5 and totally worth it.  Seriously. If you're wife is not totally into camping, that's a little convenience that'll buy you a lot of grace.  

    Or heck, the flash dehydrated stuff is way better than the Foldger's of old.  

    Either are likely to win you a few points.  

    Oh, my wife doesn't camp. Glamp maybe,  but backwoods roughing it is a big "H3ll no" from her. I think if it has a.c., a bath house, and electricity, it is not camping.  She just likes to tell me the right way to do my camping....

    I figure one larger frame pack should fit all you need for a week...for 2 people.

    It was actually a post64 model 70....I know its not hot..his grandfather lost it on his farm...he always took his bolt out when not in use....not my habits..but each his own...his grandfather past and my coworker was givin the tools and equipment....I wonder if he got the tractor with no motor haha...

    Maybe the grandfather removed the axe head from the handles when not in use.

    Somewhere some guy thought, "what is this"when he found the bolt, then said "must be junk" and tossed it. :wall:

    To each their own, I guess.

    It's not my preference, but they generally smoothed things out a little bit a few years ago when they introduced that Pike Place blend.

    Eh, what do I know. I just got done telling the wife that I will just boil the water and coffee on the camp fire when we go instead if dragging a perk pot along. She thinks I have 2 heads and am a caveman. Lol

    I bought both movies of John Wick the other night and watched both of them back to back. The only thing I have to say is it is not a good idea to make him mad at you!!! I also noticed that only got to see one LEO in each movie and that was when the one came to his door about a noise complaint and asked him if he was working again? I guess I would say that they are good movies worth watching and got to see a real varity of different types of guns use.............JMHO

    I loved both of them, but it was a little odd not to see many bystanders (except like the club senes)  or LEOs. None of them got involved. 

    I guess the idea is this organization controls everything.
