Berry's Mfg is awesome. Best customer service ever! Love those guys.

Maybe I've allowed myself to lulled into complacency by the election of so many Tea Party candidates in the House, but I don't see it happening. My thinking is just like what mav said...if it didn't happen when they had majorities in both houses of Congress and the Presidency, I don't think it will. In that embarrassing speech last night, BO whined that the rich (read: job providers) still have some money he wants to spend and he can't borrow more money to get out of debt b/c of the mean ole Republicans and that he'll be forced to redirect the 10% of the budget that goes to interest pmts (what defaulting really means) to pay for Soc. Sec. and the Military. I hope the House refuses to budge until 2012.

Exactly what I do too. After de-capping, cleaning, and priming I can get quite a rhythm going. I timed myself once and over a 10 minute stretch I was able to charge, seat, and crimp 60 rounds in 10 minutes. Not that I could hold that pace, but there's no way I could do more than 40 if I had to de-prime and prime also.

Pack'n Heat is a good one too. Officer Jeff Eady teaches it out of the BNA police office. I took my HCP class from him & a defensive pistol class too.

Like some others said, it's hard to beat a Lee turret press. I'm sure the other brands mentioned are just as good, but for what you get for your money...Lee is where it's at.

Perhaps he was riding one of Mr. Garrison's personal transport vehicles...

My dad would round off one of the corners of a putty knife and sharpen the 2 of the edges where it had been rounded. This let it bend a lil to the contour of the shell. Of course first he'd have to use a hatchet to cut/bust the bone around the edges on the sides. Good ole redneck ingenuity...

I've heard of the Log Cabin Republicans...fiscally conservative for the most part, but also pro-2A. Good bunch of folks in that regard.

When I was a teenager, my dad and I went frog gigging with friends/relatives all the time. We almost always came home with a snapper or 2. Good eats! mmmm turtle gumbo!

I just re-opened my browser for the first time this week w/out having to re-login. Thanks OhShoot for the multiple cookie tip. Also, I read the enemy rags too, but couldn't resist commenting. It's like riding a moped...fun til your friends see ya.

OhShoot, better zap that TMZ cookie, before somebody sees it.

Funny, I got the same impression. I thought he was trying to get the guy to smart off, so he could rough him up. The guy played it smart too, I think this cop would have loved to see him resist or something.

I know this won't be very popular, but actually think stupid people shouldn't be allowed to vote. I'm not saying there should be an IQ line in the sand, just that folks have a basic understanding of civics, current affairs, and where candidates stand on issues. I'd settle for a 30 minute class in lieu of a test, but Obama would put his community organizers in charge of it and ruin the idea. Likewise, they wouldn't want Ron Paul in charge of it either, so I guess it can't happen.

Next thing you know, JAB will be trying to tell us this guy's a Republican too. Just kidding man

I knew you were, no idea why I typed "is". You were very clear, I just screwed up. This is 100% understandable. Those who walk the "thin blue line" together are often even closer than family and for good reason. They put their lives in each others hands.FWIW...I am VERY familiar with the strong sense of unity at play. My ex's father and her brother were cops and I learned a lot from them. In fact, when what seemed like half the LAPD watched a few cops beat Rodney King, I got a unique insight from them about the ordeal. He was on drugs, ran from them for a long time, putting multiple lives in danger, resisted arrest, and kept trying to get up for the sole reason that he wanted to keep fighting with them. I'm glad the cops didn't get in worse trouble than they did and angry that he got so much money. I'm not saying he deserved it, but I see why it happened. In this case I don't see the cop's side at all and was mostly just curious to see if any current LEO would step up and denounce this guys actions or not. You know they are talking about it at the station.

Imagine if you cashed welfare checks too! You could afford to rent the consciences of several city councilmen in no time.

I'd like to propose a $50 tax on casting stupid votes with an extra $50 tacked on if the idiot you voted for wins.

If a bank around here put up a sign like that, I'd open an account. Best I can usually hope for is for there not to be a rob-me sign saying no guns allowed.

This is happening to me on multiple PC's too. I have not made any changes to Internet security for IE or Firefox and both are affected. I think Worriedman is right about it being an MS update. I'll look at my update history and then jump on MSDN to see what I can find.

After a member of a group does something like this officer did, some members privately approve/disapprove, some try to dinstance themselves, some defend/explain the situation, and some publicly denounced the acts. The group usually responds with some official message and it often sounds like the horse crap we heard from the Canton PD. When handled properly, both the group and its members respond quickly like the Baptists and other religions did to distance themselves from Fred Phelps and his bunch. I heard lots of people defend Michael Vick publicly, explaining his actions as part of his culture. I don't always agree with the explanation (like with Vick), but at least I respect them for stepping up and trying to shed light on things. I didn't check the profile of everyone who has replied to see who is/was an LEO. I know Dolomite is and I thank him for giving us his take. Still, I wish we could hear more of the perspectives of some current LEOs. I hear a lot about there being a code of silence among cops, but have no idea if it's true. It'd be good to know how some of them feel about it.

Cauliflower kinda looks like brains. Maybe that would work?

+1 A line needs to be drawn

I've heard someone call somebody else a “****ing ******!” before knowing good and well that they weren't. They just said it to insult the other person. I'm not saying the bicyclist wasn't wearing a rainbow pride t-shirt, just that the assailant's choice of words were no guarantee that gay guy got punched because he's gay. I mean when I call someone an a-hole, I don't literally mean I think they are a rectum...just sayin'

All while the cop is threatening, cursing, and insulting this guy about having a gun in his presence, I can't help but wonder what would happen if the guy had said 'what's that on your hip? a gun?'. Also, he told the alleged hooker and pimp that if he sees them again they'll "get lumps" or something like that. Sounds like an illegal threat to them too.
