I was a moderator on a very popular automotive forum for a few years and I paid for that one. The founder gave me some advise on starting my own which i never got around to because I webt to Afghanistan.I still visit the forum occasionally but I don't pay, I know what the advertisements were brining in.

This happen next door to where I lived at one time. A resident saw a man on his deck, drenched with water, who said he fell out of his boat. He requested a ride to the other side of the lake. The man then ripped the residents gun and threw him into the water. The man's wife saw the incident and retreived her gun, firing a shot, telling him to drop the gun. The suspect ran into the woods. When the sheriff's deputies came the man refused to drop the gun, resulting in the police shooting him one time with a .40, killing him. http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/23370259/witness-gives-first-hand-details-of-marion-county-shooting

Not that I will go camping if it is under 50 deg but you will crack the windows if it is cold and you set up or take down when it is really cold also. I have seen a lot of guys put tarps over their popups when camping.

Couple of ?'s :Brass and Lee Dies
Patton replied to lifelearner84's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
You probably will get the same amount of chamber support with an aftermarket barrel as the factory gen4 barrel gives you. I have shot over 1k reloaded 40's out of a gen4 no concerns, I only throw out cases with obvious smiley faces(from other 40's, not mine). -
While I have had some good memories using a popup I just couldn't see myself buying one. All the downsides of using a tent without any of the benefits of an RV. Hookup, load up, and setup is just too much of a PIA for a two day weekend. I remember closing one up in the looting down rain, we liked to have never got the musty smell out. If there is any room in budget and your tow vehicle is capable get a real travel trailer.

I have been immensely impressed with accuracy. I don't think I have tested them outside of 20ft but I would suspect great accuracy. Have you tried a two hand grip where you hold the grip with your strong hands thumb and index finger with your support hands index finger as the trigger finger?

If it makes you feel younger, they started doing away with pinned barrels about the time I was born. They were completely obsolete by mid 84, a year before I started school. Signed, Old Fat Bald Guy

What kind of dog is best about not wandering from property?

The Lab I have now I couldn't make leave if I wanted him to, I have had Labs though that would have ran for days. -
Huge price difference and the Doubletap is really close to the size of a LCP.

Sweet they must have removed them.

Most of the members here will avoid that place like the plague. It is posted.

It's beautiful!

He will also buy guns and have them listed for sale immediately afterwards.

You keep saying they assume alcohol involvement in crashes they don't know if alcohol was involved or not. Where are you seeing that? Very very few fatalities would they have to guess. A fatality or serious injury crash is the easiest way to get a BAC. We don't even ask you for a test we just take it. A hit and run would be one of the only fatalities where alcohol involvement would be unknown.

I believe you are the one with fictional numbers and DUI checkpoints don't happen every weekend, most departments do not do but a single one a year. It is the possibility of DUI checkpoints that truly make people not drive impaired. That is why states with DUI checkpoints have a 20% less automobile fatality rate(CDC). You guys lost all credibility with me when you talked about the intentions and powers of the SCOTUS, they are the final say so. I wasn't going to come back to this thread.

I bet the pistol grip is slow to deploy(from closed) but I bet it's easy to hang onto.

I have commented once, I had the 22lr and it was too small. I once or twice thought I had lost it because it disappears so much. I have a magnum version, a keltec p32, and a LCP. The magnum is still smaller, lighter, and more easily hidden. I have read the Trooper Coots story before and the only homicide I have ever went to as a cop was from one shot with a 22lr. I like the smoothness of the hammer and trigger of NAA revolvers.

In Chattanooga I am a huge fan of New York Pizza Department.

If someone was very familiar with a Sig 226 would they have any complaints with a Sig 220? I know the controls are will be the same but will the 220's thinner grip be a lot of concern? Is the 227 truly a 226 twin except for the caliber?

Private training session in South Knoxville
Patton replied to A.J. Holst's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I understand, you didn't mention you were giving a vendor a plug -
I love mine, it is honestly a well tuned piece of art. It is every bit ascaccurate as most pistols, I shoot milk jugs at 20 yards. I had the 22lr and sold it to buy the mag/lr conversion. I have the 1 1/8" barrel but wished I had the 1 5/8" model.

I don't have time to address everything. Every department everywhere does mandatory blood draw on drivers in everything with a serious injury. If you are going to argue every study, observance, and life story I know then there is nothing I can say to you. DUI offenders are out there in abundance. I have known officers that have been on patrol and arrested 3 in one night. I have been screening a driver for DUI when one crashed into my parked car. I know a woman who has lost two children to DUI's years apart. I have been talking on the phone with my wife when she was rear ended by a drunk driver, no license because he had 10 DUI convictions. These DUI checkpoints generally do not cost much, most of the officers working these are reservist. There are a hell of a lot cheaper than a fatality investigation. Alcohol related means what it means; impairment on any level. Something else is there are people demanding further alcohol detection practices to include automatic blood draws. I truthfully could careless about any practices changing, people are going to continue to drink. Most have been severely effected in their family life with DUI's. I have been in a trial when the judge asked the potential jurors (150ish people) how many have had a friend or family member effected by DUI's and almost everyone raised their hands. I have seen other days when no one hardly raises their hand. Contrary to popular belief, most DUI's don't come from bars. Restaurants, private parties, people even get drink and go drive around. It takes many different practices to target DUI offenders.

Murfreesboro DUI Checkpoint Video Making its Way Across the Web
Patton replied to wewoapsiak's topic in General Chat
That is a point but also we are driving on state, city, or county roads in which they are representatives of, and not private property. In a lot of appellate court decisions the judges have determined we have less expectation of privacy on public and it is not unreasonable to a brief stop ensuring public safety. -
In 2003, 21 percent of the children under 15 years old who were killed in motor vehicle crashes were killed in alcohol-related crashes.(NHTSA, 2013). Around 1500 for that year. A hell of a lot more than killed by guns.
