  1. I have to do a resupply on my 45 ammo or this would sit next to my Baby. Nice piece!
  2. not hunting, just nice to know I wouldn't be hungry. There were 5, one was hit by a car, this year's fawn probably died without momma.

    Tactical?

    The original SBR as it were
  4. Very nice bike, rare to find this close to original. I had an XS400 and an XS750. superb bikes in their classes. Rob is a good one to deal with too.
  5. I agree, the NFA and GCA are unconstitutional and need to go. We see from that progression the anti's are not happy with a little, they want it all. @Grayfox54 yes I understand the thugs are getting bolder and better armed. that just goes to prove that gun control laws don't work. We have to find a better way to deal with that problem. Maybe go back in time and legalize weed so the cartels didn't grow so strong. Or stop prohibition from being passed so the mob didn't profit from liquor. those two bans didn't work and gave the criminals a lot of profits. Had we kept these two thing legal, controlled, and taxed we would not have spent billions on enforcing bans and gained billions in tax dollars. I have no clue how many jobs are in the liquor and liquor control/inspection industries but we can see how much the criminals have profited. I have dies for .45 and I'm sure I could buy more die sets for any other full auto I might be able to get. I'm sure that machine guns are not that expensive, they are just a finite commodity in the USA so the price goes up.
  6. Happy for the success for Outpost, but I hate seeing On Target close. A little competition is a good thing. Range fees at Outpost are very high as are other ranges in Rutherford Co. At least they have ranges, not a thing in Shelbyville and I have neighbors behind me on both sides.
  7. Well, it's about time this was overturned. Let's hope it sticks. US judge tosses machine gun possession case, calls ban unconstitutional (msn.com) #1 on my wish list is a Thompson
  8. Don't guess the population is apt to increase.

    Tactical?

    I always thought magnum was in reference to chamber pressure. I understand the different calibers such as all of the .38s are where the measurement is taken. but tactical is just an add on term for has extra stuff. for handguns, could be and accessory rail or a 1911 with round butt. It's all in the perception.

    Tactical?

    from the Oxford dictionary; relating to or constituting actions carefully planned to gain a specific military end. For my money tactical would be stealthy. Quiet, unnoticed, achieving one's objective with minimal effort. Looking at tactical teams and gear would lead one to assume it means having every possible piece of gear you could ever by some chance need when the perfect plan works as one would expect (SNAFU).

    Tactical?

    Honestly, I was in dire need of a rechargable light before they were popular. I bought a flea market "tactical" for cheap and it is just now getting to where the switch is sketchy. it's over 10 years old and has served me well.
  13. Collector's list. I'm more of a shooter. None of these are on my list. Maybe Elmer Kieth's No 5. For surplus 1911 I'd look for Remington Rand since that was the best of my issue pistols.
  14. Very true. You reminded me of running into the local "Karen" last year when we were moving in. To understand fully you have to know that I have degenerative disc disease and torn rotator cuff in both shoulders. I also moved us with some help from my stepson. So I was hot, tired and in pain when I pulled into the parking space at Walmart with my wife. She put her handicap placard on the mirror and we put the sun shield up. WITH the tag on the outer side. It took me a couple minutes after shutting the car off and opening the door to pull myself out of the car. As we walked to the back of the car a woman walked by and asked "where's your tag"? My mind immediately jumped to someone had stolen our tag, but I looked and said "right there". She said she meant our handicap tag as she had one on the back of her truck. I went from tired and in pain to angry in a flash. I told her it was none of her business, move along. She persisted and I asked if she was with the police. She continued with her tirade at which point I told her if she thought we were doing anything illegal to call the cops and get out of my business. I was not pleasant, I was no longer polite, and I used some rough and foul language. In other words, most sane people would have walked away. She did not and continued, my wife even called her "Karen" and told her the tag was on the mirror. Had she been a man, it would have been damn the pain beat down time. You never know who you might be triggering, today might be the wrong day to say good morning to someone or it might be the thing that brightens their day. Sorry for the book, but David reminded me that it doesn't have to be something YOU say or do, it could be something you didn't say, wear, do, act.
