It does say Made In USA. Got my shock for the day, LOL. Anyway, I went to HF & bought one. Haven't had the chance to try it out yet, maybe tomorrow, depending on temp.& wind chill. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Be prepared to be envious ( well, maybe ).

Party pooper, LOL

That's neat. May have to give it a go myself. Would come in handy at times. Thanks for posting.

If the plaintiff wins the suit, policy will change, no doubt. To me, this is just another bite at the 2A apple. There are only so many bites in any apple. Not good!

"If this gets too bad, lots of gun companies will just fold and sell out their designs to someone else. " This is my concern with this lawsuit. Some of these companies are hanging by a thread as it is. Large judgement could mean going out of business.

I've seen a few of those large ones, some time ago. One was down on Long Creek, I think, another was on a little island in Rocky Creek off Cumberland river in Wilson Co. The hulls were thicker than norm.. Have no idea how to locate them now ( & I've tried ), LOL.

Before you decide, check out the Walther PPS M2 in 9mm. Small size, narrow width for concealment, very accurate, mild recoil, shoots well. Great ergonomics on the grip. Owned 2, carry one every day. JMHO

Mac. I never tried to roast 'em, I ate them right out of the hull. Suppose roasting would be good tho. Growing up in the country, my Mom & I would pick them up in the fall, and I'd fix me a small pan of nuts, & eat them in the winter. She also made pies with them, No pecans around then. Good stuff tho.

I've often wondered why hickory nuts are plentiful some years, some not. Got curious after Greg's thread & Googled it. "Experts" say they run in 3 yr. cycles. In my experience hunting over the years, "in some areas", this seems to be true. Squirrels follow the food. YMMV........

I had one when I was in 'Nam. It was stolen along with all my other valuables, after I was wounded, and in the aid station. The SOB's stole $175 I had saved up for R&R, my wallet, watch. Left my wedding ring. Didn't realize this until I was in the Army hospital in Tokyo. That said, Zippos' are tough, hard to wear one out. Would be interesting to know the story behind this one.

For a beginner, I'd vote for the Lebanon Gun Shop, as well. Class held by a NRA certified instructor. 2 consecutive 2 hour classes. Get some hands on, plus instructor to answer your questions. Located on 102 Hartman Dr., near Burger King. 615-547-9600. Good folks to do business with, have bought a few guns there. Good luck with your new hobby. I've been at it since 1968.

Appears to be a canine of some sort, not a cat. Front leg seems to be stepping over a limb or something. Of course, my expert badge is in the cleaners, LOL

Polls are aimed at a friendly audience. 95% of the people in this country will not agree on anything. And, I've never been invited either, unless you consider the crap on FB.

Where there's a will............

Nice hand cannon, LOL. Mine had quite a bit of bite to it. Manageable tho.

Years ago, back around '86 or so, I had a Dan Wesson 44 mag with a 8" heavy vent rib BBL. Got a mount for it from B Square in Ft. Worth. Clamped on, worked fine. Good luck with your venture, I'm sure you'll get it worked out. Killed a few deer with it, BTW.

There was some, didn't really pay much attention to it. I was looking at other "stuff", LOL

Got my first bi-focals at 45. Now on tri-focals/progressive lens. 45 seems to be the magic #.

True, Dave. It's a shame that we have to get our collective asses kicked to bring the country together. WW1, WW11, 9-11. What's next?

Went to the gun show at Lebanon this AM. Decent show, now put on by C&E Shows. Good crowd. Carried a pistol to sell, lots of look, no buyers. Not sure if any "panic buying" has set in yet, but seems that "panic pricing" has. Saw lots of AR/AK type rifles, priced at $1300 to $1600. These were run of the mill guns, not high end stuff.

Lebanon Gun shop has a gunsmith. I know nothing about his work, haven't had the need for one. Might drop by or give 'em a call.

I had the same problem. Read the ad, looked like the best thing since self rising flour. Carried my AR to do some target shooting sometime later after lubing. Ran very sluggish, barely function. Had one heck of a time cleaning the gun(s). Lesson learned. Stay the heck away from it.

Can't wait to see how much it's going to cost to get rid of Pruitt. Some real talent in the AD's office the past few yrs, LOL.

Hugh, I haven't tried either, but what I have works quite well for me, so no need to switch. Not all is for everyone tho. Go with what works for you. Glock makes a good gun, very reliable. Just not my cup of tea, LOL.

I've only had do deal with one lately. Caught it in a live trap, shot it in the top of the head ( in the trap ), with a .22 short. No spray, end of skunk. Carried the trap away from the area, just in case, opened the end of the trap & dumped it out.
