I agree. i posted this on facebook as well and i mentioned that after the liberals saw this they would soon get busy "fixing" it. 

This has to make you feel good.    http://hotair.com/archives/2013/03/28/and-the-least-free-state-in-america-is/

it's called Feinstein's Favorites. i find it quite humorous.   http://www.armslist.com/

  Indeed. All the staff does a great job. I don't see the the a-holiness here I see on other forums. I think being a local thing helps with that. It's different when your talking to some know-it-all jackass across the country who probably doesn't even own a gun then it is when it is someone you might actually wind up becoming shooting buddies with. 

      While they're at it they should do a study to see why all the drunk fat lesbians work at Great Clips...

Congrats, man!!! Happy times are ahead!

This has been needed for a while. It's nice that someone in our legislature noticed and is looking out for us. 

Tell Don I'm praying for him to have a speedy recovery.

It happened at my friend's house in Dickson last night. It worked after unplugging/plugging back in.

The language of this article is disturbing.    "They're not jihadists. They are white, right-wing Americans, nearly all with an obsessive attachment to guns, who may represent a greater danger to the lives of American civilians than international terrorists."   If we're all lunatics and terrorists they can take our guns while the 2A remains in tact. I know this is just one article but it reflects the attitude of those who want to ban guns. 

(b)  (1) Notice of the prohibition permitted by subsection (a) shall be accomplished by displaying one (1) or both of the notices described in subdivision (b)(3) in prominent locations, including all entrances primarily used by persons entering the property, building, or portion of the property or building where weapon possession is prohibited. Either form of notice used shall be of a size that is plainly visible to the average person entering the building, property, or portion of the building or property, posted.   I'd say around the corner knee high behind a bush doesn't meet this requirement. One could probably also argue that that window is not even part of the entrance since the actual entrance is bumped out from the rest of the building. But as has been stated, there are no test cases and I certainly wouldn't want to be the first one to test it. 

Got it figured out fellas...

So today when i hit the drive-thru I will really be in a food line waiting for a handout from the Democratic Republic of North Korea? And I never would have guessed that the Red Cross built my house from materials supplied by NK. I am so thankful to the dear leader.  

Last .223 I bought I got for $10 per box of 20. So $.50 per round. And i am of the same thinking as lumberjack. AR prices will be coming back before long so no need to overpay now. I vote ammo.

smarty pants.... :P

Here is what I have been thinking. keep in mind, I am not a physicist so I may not be using the correct terms but hopefully you'll get the idea. The action/reaction is not the bullet being launched/the affect on the target. The action is the explosion in the chamber. The reaction is the launching of the bullet + the recoil. So the recoil and bullet propulsion can receive unequal amounts of energy as long as their sum is equal to that of the explosion in the chamber. Most of the energy is directed down the barrel because that is the path of least resistance...by design. Whatever portion of that energy is imparted into the gun is transferred to the shooter. The rest (most) of the energy is imparted into the bullet and then transferred to the target. So the action/reaction there is the bullet striking the target/whatever effect it has on the target. So what ever happens to the shooter is irrelevant to what happens to the target. It is 2 different actions/reactions altogether. Since the explosion can't move the shooter as much it can't release as much of its energy that direction so it releases it down the barrel (path of least resistance) and in turn transfers that energy to the bullet.   I think I'm saying while the force of the explosion pushes equally in all directions, the energy is not released equally in all directions. It is it is released in the path of least resistance which is down the barrel. 

I think what the narrator is saying is this is how the eagles tenderize the meat. Because nobody likes tough goat.

Thanks for sharing. Totally going to have to check this out. How does conceal carry work at an event like this? 

Thank you for sharing this! I'm grinning from ear to ear.

Well....Y'all win...I feel bad. I kinda feel like the thread go hijacked because of me so I apologize for that. Back on topic now. That is pretty amazing stuff. At my house if I were to have to defend it from my bedroom I would most certainly be pointing at my kids' rooms. That's always bothered me. Something like this has the potential to make a room "bullet retardant." At least some ideas can be sprouted from this. 

Tar and feather?!?!

I didn't take Dolomite's (or anyone else's) comments as being aggravated/offended. Just making sure everyone knows I am not questioning their knowledge or abilities. I am asking purely out of curiosity. One thing I've learned about debating on the interwebz is it is impossible to pick up on tone with typed words. I've seen the most innocent of comments get taken WAY out of context simply because tone can't be heard. So I always like to make sure I clarify my intentions. I appreciate Dolomite starting this thread. I have learned a lot and got some things clarified.    I see exactly what everybody is saying. But don't expect me to voluntarily strap on some floor tiles to be tested for bullet resistance anytime soon.  ;)​ 

That's cool guys. Hope I'm not ticking anybody off.  I really like to discuss this kind of stuff. I appreciate the info very much. I'm no sure now that I've slept on it what I thought was going on. I just used the 50 as an example because of its "enhanced" performance compared to other rounds. The needle vs boxing glove makes perfect sense. But now I have another question.   Push vs. punch.   If a guy shoots, let's just say a 50 for effect, a rifle that weighs 10lbs, has a 26" barrel, has a buttstock with 4 sq. in. surface area and in no way absorbs recoil and he shoots it from a standing position. He shoots another guy whom on his shoulder has a 4 sq. in. buttstock made exactly like the one on the rifle that also has the same 10lb weight as the rifle. Both men are the same weight and build. Pretend they're in a vacuum and their is no loss of bullet energy. The round is fired directly into the 10lb buttstock on the target man. Would he not wind up with at least a badly bruised, if not broken, shoulder? The reason being not from difference in force applied to each man but because of HOW it is applied. The shooter has the force applied more gradually as the bullet is pushed away by the expansion of the gases. I know the explosion is instant compared to human reaction time or something, but it is still pretty gradual compared to an impact. The shoot-ee is being struck instantly without that same "buffer" or "push" if you will. The shoot-ee doesn't have those gases gradually bringing the bullet to zero from top speed in the last 26". However, the shooter DOES have that buffer, or gradual push from zero to top speed in 26".    It's kinda like using a sledgehammer to push a cinder block with 100 lbs of force vs. hitting it with 100lbs of force. Say the hammer head is rested directly against the block and gradually brought up to mph and 100 lbs of force. The block theoretically would be accelerated to 10mph without any damage. Then figure the head singing mph. with 100 lbs of force striking the stationary block. The block would be cracked/busted.   BTW, I'm not trying to argue a bullet will send people flying. I do know better. But it seems like impact would have a little to do with it. It would seem the violence with which the energy is transferred would be greater on the receiving end and cause more damage. Penetration aside. 

Still doesn't explain how a 250lb man can move a 2500lb car. Or why a barret doesn't break the shooter's shoulder. 2000-3000 ft/lb of energy into your shoulder without breaking?  I think path of least resistance has a little to do with it. The energy is mostly directed out the barrel because it offers the least resistance so most of the enrgy is transferred to the bullet. What about this. If your AR had a buttstck the size of a .22 cal bullet, would it do the same damage to your shoulder to shoot it as it would to be shot by it? This is very interesting stuff.
