I always recommend to people buying a 1911 to get a Colt. Though there are many fine 1911 out there, the one with the pony on the slide is the original.  The problem is finding one. I have a basic no frills Colt Government series 80.  It's a honey. 100% reliable and a good shooter. In my humble opinion Kimbers are overrated.   http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=15201

I have a Mark III Hunter tricked out by Volquartsen. The trigger is between 2-3lbs. Awesome. I have the magazine safety removed and the loaded chamber indicator removed.  It's my show pistol.

I went to one of those Northern Diners in Massachusetts once. I ordered a glass of ice tea. The waitress said "Here ya go Reb" hand handed me a glass of ice, a pot of hot water and a tea bag. I kid you not!

In Durham County NC, if they declare a "State of Emergency" then your constitutional rights are put on hold. They developed this "State of Emergency" after Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated and rioters burned down the Rhodes Furniture store in West Durham.  In 1996, after Hurricane Fran, they declared another State of Emergency. We had 4 vehicles with canoes and kayaks on top and were headed to a local river and were pulled over by cops who told us :"The rivers are closed. You cannot go paddling!"  "They then explained to us that in a State of Emergency you do not have the right to assemble nor the right to travel freely."  After a spirited arguement where I thought we would get arrested, the cops let up and let us go. All we wanted to do was paddle down a river...............   The men who wrote our Constitution and Bill of Rights, knew what they were doing. They were much wiser than any "Talking Head' alive today. There is nothing old fashion or out dated about individual rights. We cannot comprimise with an enemy that is bent of destroying our freedoms and our way of life.

Nathan Bedford Forest told his men to send their swords home to hang on the mantle piece where they belonged.  Although he carried a sword he capture from a Yankee. He said they were next to useless in combat and just got in the way when not in use. He preferred a brace of revolvers.  

New Jersey banned Hollow Point ammunition.  I never understood the reasoning behind that so I have presumed that the law makers in New Jersey don't know anything about firearms. They think a Barret .50 is an anti-aircraft rifle that shoots heat seaking missles.

What! No pics?

I would have let them search my home in this case. Of course where I live everyone is armed, we all have dogs, we look out for each other.  We have each other's phone numbers. 

 If I had to pick a favorite it would be my Ruger Bisley Vaquero .357 magnum.  Only because it will out shoot your $2000 Wilson Combat 1911. It is uncanny that an old single action wheel gun with fixed sights is so accurate.

Made in Jackson Tennessee! I bought 4 of these lures and they threw in an extra for free! A Buzz Whammy! That was such a nice gesture I thought I would give them a plug on TGO. Billy Philips died a while back and we thought the Double Whammy was gone forever but as of March, they are back in business. In the 1990s I went fishing for the first time at Lake Mattamuskeet in Eastern North Carolina. We stopped at a local bait shop and I asked the guy, "What are they catchin'em on here?" He handed me two Double Whammys and said ,"You can't get these at Walmart." I proceded to catch the biggest bass I have ever caught with one of these and have caught scores of bass with them since. It's a spoon with a hook welded to it, with a skirt and an inline spinner. They don't call it weedless but it can be cranked through the brush and lilly pads really well. It is the best spinner ever made.

Southern white men are easy targets. They pick on us, question our intelligence, our affordable housing, our heritage, they call US racists. But when they need soldiers to fight a war, while they sit back and watch it on CNN......we are HEROES.

    They are back in production again. They stopped making them after Billy went to meet his maker but the company is now back to making lures again.  The Double Whammy is one of my all time favorite bass lures. The biggest bass I ever caught was on a Double Whammy.....12lbs! ............OK is was only 8lbs but it was still a big'un.

Hallelujah! He is risen!

My Big Boy .357 is a hoot to shoot.  It's dead on at 100 yards. Drops 6" at 175 yards.  Depending on the loads.  38 specials feed well and have zero recoil, they just go "poof". .357 have very little recoil and offer some stopping power to boot. The Henry loads from the muzzle through the tube, it does not have a loading gate. It loads faster than using a loading gate but you can't do it in the prone position. The rifle's octoganal barrel make the rifle barrel heavy but that is the only drawback I can see and it does tame the recoil very well.

I have a Henry Big Boy in .357 magnum.  It's a quality piece.  Smooth action, accurate and purdy. 

Keep one in the chamber.

  I can't go back to Tennessee. 

I wish I lived in Tennessee. Click on the state and get an overview. Notice that the more liberal states score lower and New York is at the bottom.   http://freedominthe50states.org/overall  

Are those Bisley Grips? The look awesome!

Thanks Richard! That's some good shooting. Growing up, I never used anything but iron sights. I used to take my dad's Springfield out to the sorghum field and shoot up to 500 yards.  I got pretty good at it. I didn't set up targets but would shoot at Fire Ant mounds and such.  Now days everyone has to have a scope to shoot 50 yards. I still hunt with a Winchester 30-30 and feel comfortable shooting up to 100-150 yards, which is rare.

Soooooo...What's wrong with Davidson County? I left Nashville in 1982 and haven't been back, but as I remember, it was a good place to live..... If you like cities.

When I carry my 5 shot model 36 Chief's Special I do feel under gunned. I am comforted by the knowledge that there is no other gun that I can draw and fire faster. I own over 2 dozen hand guns and the Chief's Special has proven to be easy to grab and quicker to point and fire than any of the rest. I can hit what I'm shooting at too. With that said, I still feel under gunned when I carry it, compared to my Glock 19 or XD-45.

It's good to here from you dude. Many young people on this forum might think you are a nut, but I know different. You told it just like it was.  It's hard to believe it was so long ago. I was pulled one day in Tennessee in 1975. I was told that I could pay the $50 fine in cash to the LEO, or I was going to be arrested. I told the guy I only had 25 bucks and need enough to buy gas to get home. He took the twenty out of my wallet and told be I could go. Mother Puss Bucket! I have never been back to Polk County since.

Those people won't be happy until we are all safe. That's right, we will all be safe when we loose all of our rights and have to stay home when we ain't working. When we have curfews and check points and people search our homes and we have to have permits to travel. You know like in Nazi Germany or Communist Russia. Those people were really safe.  I say NO I WILL NOT GIVE UP MY RIGHTS and I will keep my guns and my freedoms.
