    Close Call

    Just saw this. Thank God she's not badly injured. I know you were beside yourself with worry and hope you are both well.
  2. Price dropped to $250
  3. sold
  4. Bought one a few weeks back. Working just fine. I have to get caught up and make a couple of holsters for it. New territory making a pocket holster but if I don't like mine DeSantis makes a great one, have it for my P32.
  5. oops! still available
  6. SPM
  7. Nice shooter, includes everything pictured. Has MCARBO trigger and springs. Pocket clip removed but screws included to re-attach. This has run through everything I've fed it. Cash only, TN DL. Pick up only. Hate to sell this one. $300 PRICE DROP $250
  8. with some of the drivers on my commute,,,it would be worth the wait though.
  9. Very nice work. Yup, wife is a good critic. Hard to get a compliment out of mine. I print off images from the net and size them appropriately. Sometimes have to print several times to get sized right. then use tracing film to transfer to the leather. Makes carving easier since I can't draw a straight line with a ruler. working on a sheath now, putting off the artwork that is going on the frog. Dreading trying to transfer nose art from a B52 to a spot about 1.5 x 2 inches.
  10. I'm sure we will hear on the news tonight it was left from the previous administration.
  11. yeah,,, I'd take the Sig too but wife wouldn't be happy and wallet would abandon me.
  12. MAD MAX
  13. Haven't read the judgement so I have to take the article at face value. Especially since the Government take defrauding the Government pretty seriously. And I have always believed that anyone who can legally walk the streets should be able to arm themselves. trouble is, they let a lot of folks walk our streets that shouldn't be breathing our air. Tell me, does a person who has completed their sentence have less value?
  14. Sorry about the title. If someone has a better suggestion I'll change it. US cannot ban people convicted of non-violent crimes from owning guns-appeals court (msn.com)
  15. guess I need to check out Killdozer. Is it similar to "Falling Down" with A Team skills? I understand, I hate to fight, when I do it's bad.
  16. M2 then to actually shoot, AK47 paratrooper and a Thompson.
  17. if mt house is hit,,,y'all cover your eyes!
  18. I stop in traffic with enough room to escape and try to avoid being in center lanes at traffic lights. I may want to hit what is in front of me in certain circumstances. I also do not want lane keep assistance. It's all old school driving technique and situational awareness, escape and evade. I will scew up ABS in a panic stop EVERY time and I've had ABS for years. Driving with assistance dulls the senses and allows one to lose focus. Not a bad thing for some but it's not for me.
  19. We dropped down a level when we bought our Buick. One of the reasons was to avoid auto braking. It wasn't the determining factor but it did play into the decision. Not trying to be demeaning, self driving is a no-go for me. I have issues with Blind Spot Warning, makes me lazy or whatever. Works well but I learned to drive in a neck brace, mirrors are my friend. LOL!
  20. Not while I only go to the office twice per week. I drive the "second car", in this case an old truck. and I'm 62 so I'd retire before I got my return on investment.
  21. One last note. The green energy, earth savers don't want us mining lithium in the US so we would still be dependent on foreign "energy"
  22. I appreciate all of the input. Learned a few things and since I'm in the auto parts industry that counts. I don't dislike EVs and I do think they make sense for some uses. For my commute of 30 miles one way, with charging stations on our company lot, one would be great for me. But the expense for a "go to work" car is ridiculous. I would be better served by a plug in hybrid. I do think most of the EVs available are, let's say, not pleasant looking. That is purely personal taste as many ICE vehicles are equally unpleasant. The technology is improving by leaps and bounds so the push has been good for that aspect and I expect within my lifetime the benefits will make EVs more practical. BUT, we don't have the charging stations nor the power available to make them a viable replacement for ICE at this time. I do not believe EV is going to last. I read that VOLVO has put several hydrogen fuel cell trucks on the road. Fuel cell tech could be the answer. All of this and I have for decades believed in diversifying our fuel needs. So EV is good on that front. My biggest issue is the socialist puppet trying to force these down my throat. I dislike anything that's pushed on me. I'm also a full believer in free market economy. The similarities to a certain dictator and "people's car" are too much. The thought that the executives in my company are getting a government kickback funded by my tax dollars chafes my ass. that brings up the picture I have had of Tesla being a status symbol since they delivered their first unit. I realize the tech would be decades away without tax money but let the market drive itself. That is what free market economy means. Do we need alternative fuels? Absolutely. Is this the way to handle it? Not in my opinion. Will I continue to drive ICE vehicles? Oh hell yeah! EVs may be quicker but there's nothing like a good exhaust note to get your attention.
