  I've wondered the same thing. I haven't bought any .22 in almost three years & I still have 99% of what I bought. The shortage on .22 never hit hard here. You can still walk into a GS & buy CCI Stingers for around $6.99 per /100. Bricks are about $30 last time I checked. 9mm, .40, & .45 are the ones we couldn't get for months. I don't know many guys that shoot .22, but my shop rarely runs short on it. I don't understand the obsessive behavior of a lot of shooters.

  That's part of the reason I installed a set of the big 18 wheeler air horns on the inner fenders of my pickup along with an air tank & compressor mounted in the bed. Just a few days ago a lady messing with her phone darted between a bunch of parked cars & cut across about four lanes in our Walmart parking lot & nearly took my front bumper off. She never even looked up until I blew my air horns from about 3 feet from her window (which was down by the way). I hope she was wearing some "depends" because I'm sure I scared the whizz out of her.

  I wouldn't call it stalking. If you're breaking the law & endagering others, you should be caught. I think a lot of people forget that the police aren't just out to get you. They're trying to keep the roads safe for us all. I have a cousin that's a TN Trooper & he says the amount of dangers & stress they'r put under everyday is unbelievable at times. You can trust me when I tell you they don't enjoy traffic stops. It puts both the LEO & the citizen in danger.

  You may enjoy your sarcasm, but a lot of accidents & deaths are caused by people texting & driving. My BIL was hospitalized back in August with a broken arm & compound fracture to his leg because an assbag texting driver ran him off the road.

  You gotta have something taller than an SUV to see into an SUV. Makes sense. I'm all for it if it actually makes the roads safer & stops some of these jackasses from endangering the rest of us.

Yeah....I'm pretty sure she's getting a bag full of sh*t lit on her front porch. :poop:

  I didnt want to be the one, but since you brought it up...   Yep, it's fake. >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc5HUS8dLN0

  The worst part might be having to sit through an hour of Disney previews just to watch it. I swear if I have to see another "Lady & the Tamp" preview, I'm gonna snap!  :popcorn:

I don't know what stores are in your area, but my local Fastenal & NAPA stores order single bits, & parts for me all the time. They only charge shipping for rush delivery, but if I'm willing to wait for it to arrive in their regular weekly delivery they don't charge any shipping. If you're lucky enough to have a NAPA or other auto store with a warehouse (hub) store nearby, you can usually have the item in a day or less & most don't charge shipping. Good luck.

Didn't Disney buy the rights to Star Wars? If so, I can promise you it will be ruined in one way or another.

Maybe Obama finally realized what a tool he was for blaming Bush for all our problems for the past several years & nows he's looking for someone else to whine about. "Wah...Fox picked on me...wahhhh!"

Most fences like the ones you describe use a solid color stain. They're usually water based & can be mixed just like paint in just about any color including black & give a really flat/matte finish.

  That's is good advice IMO & sometimes used can be as good as new. My first SIG was P229. I got it on a trade & it's never malfunctioned. Nearly every gun I've owned has been used when I got it & I've never had an issue with any of them.

Here are the two SIGs in my collection. The P229 .40s&w (I also have a .357sig barrel) has a set of Hogue rubber grips & the P220 compact Elite .45 acp came with special edition aluminum grips, a checkered front strap, & extended beavertail frame. Both pistols came with SIGLITE night sights installed from the factory. It took about five minutes on the SIG forum for me to get some gun snobbery about these two unworthy pistols, but I really hope you guys like them. :hat:

Do you store it in a pistol rug or just wrap it in a condom? Imagine if this gun was ever to be used in self defense...and you thought Zimmerman's pistol got some media attention.

There's no sure answer for every situation, but you can try to be as prepared as possible. Higher capacity is going to mean going a little larger too. I own several Berettas & have 9mm mags for them in 17, 18, & 20 round capacities. The 17 & 18 round mags fit flush & the 20 round mag only sticks down 1/2" below the grip so I could easily carry up to 40 rounds & only have to carry one extra mag. They make 30 round mags for my Berettas, but IMO in a SHTF situation I feel the extra length of the mag could pose some problems in a confined space.

Thanks for the kind words & I appreciate the prayers. My brother hasn't been able to contact me directly, but I finally got word through my parents a while ago that he's fine. Between the shooting, lockdown, & traffic, it was several hours befor he made it home to be with his family & he called our parents & they relayed the good news to me. Apparently he was detained with other witnesses for questioning for a couple hours until they could get some of the chaos worked out. I've been gone most of the afternoon & haven't even seen the news since about noon today so I'm not caught up on all the events myself. My prayers go out to any victims & their families of this tragic shooting.

My brother works there at the Navy Yard & I'm pulling my hair out trying to find out what the hell's going on! He made a brief call to my house earlier this morning letting us know that a man had entered & was shooting people, but had to get off the phone line. That's been a couple hours & there have been several people shot since then & now I can't get in touch with him to make sure he's okay. I don't know if he's among the injured or if he was evacuated! I'm stuck here at home & can't find out if he's alright or not!

Tried to go, but low on funds & wasn't able to make it. I have a couple pistols I'd like to sale or trade on, but from what I hear the past few shows nobody's looking for anything but ammo & AR parts. Doesn't sound like anyone's trading on pistols at shows anymore. With the price of gas it's hard to make a 160 mile round trip just for lunch. :shrug:

The news just reported that It's not an asteroid after all. NASA spotted a big turd in orbit that was flushed out of the space station's toilet & it reminded them so much of Trayvon's mug shots that they're going to name it after him. It only seems fitting to have one POS named after another POS.

  I understand what you're saying, but unfortunately ignorance of the law doesn't mean exemption from it. Cali's one messed up place to live with some vague or insane laws on their books.

I'll try to be there for this one. Any word on if the shows are starting to improve or is it still just a fight over ARs & ammo? I miss the old days of going to gun shows & seeing tables of handguns, gear, & friendly people. I haven't been to a show since last November because of all the chaos. I've got a Beretta or two & maybe a USP 45 or SIG I may have to let go of or do some trading on. Hope to see you guys there.

  Maybe Obama's hoping that if felons start getting jobs he can brag about lowering the unemployment rate...that is, until the stealing, raping, & killing starts. Then he'll just blame "white America". Way to go voters!

I love SOG knives. I've carried a SOG Twitch II for several years & it's one of my favorite daily carry knives. http://www.sogknives.com/twitch-ii.html
