I need to meet up with some of you guys at these shows.
As a newbie to the board, I'd like to know who the TGO members are who have a table at these shows. Why not put a small sign on the table to ID yourself or let us know where you'll be. Even if I'm broke I can still stop and say hello.

Anyone who thinks that if Paul is elected the country will magically transform overnight into Libertarian heaven needs to get off the stuff they think should be legalized. The president can do damn little without the support of Congress, the Supreme Court and, as we've seen in the last three years, the fawning press. Paul will get a majority of none of these. His presidency will be little more than a continual rant over how hard Washington is fighting against his ideals. Contrary to what we're brainwashed to believe, the executive office doesn't run the entire country. If you really want to make a difference, fight your battles in your own city, county and state. . There's a lot to do right here at home to regain our freedoms.

At our recent Blount County Meet & Greet, the deputy that drew the short straw and had to respond to all those neighborhood calls about the noise was a pretty nice feller. Friendly, but dutiful.

When I was a kid in Oklahoma, I used to take care of red ants and have fun at the same time. When firecrackers were in short supply, I got an old hand-pumped gasoline torch, stirred up the hill and fried them as they scurried about. Good thing I grew out of it, huh?

It's not the LCP's recoil that's been bothering my wife lately, but her accuracy. She tends to go all over the place when she's aiming for that bull about 10 yards away. I keep telling her that an attacker will probably be much closer than that, plus these mouseguns are not built for comfort but for quick dirty work. Next time we're at the range I'm going to splurge for a full-sized BG picture target, then maybe she'll see that all of her hits have actually been center mass. She's a nurse I'm sure she'll "get the picture."

I'm waiting for the Cuisinart snobs to start posting about how crappy all the other cast iron skillets are.

For the reasons Dolomite mentions, red dots have no magnification as do scopes.

I've heard of you, but who's John Michael Montgomery?
Have a great time! -
That article reminds me of pieces by the Brady bunch. The only difference is Brady at least attempts to use data to back up their crap. This guy uses anecdotes and conjecture and nothing else. I think I'll get my advice elsewhere, thanks.
I wonder if anyone has worked up statistical proof that OC is a deterrent.

I don't know about comparing him to Fred, but it sure sounds as if he isn't really interested. He should probably
stay in the dairy business, ya think?
Are you saying that he's trying to milk it?

The only words I trust in are found in the Bible. The ones coming from politicians have an expiration date.

It appears that Rock Center, or NBC News for that matter, is just as negligent in their discharges as they accuse Remington of being.

Farnsworth Firearms in Vonore has one priced at $399.

I'm sure the boss was delighted to see that trick. It's gonna make his decision of who to lay off much easier.

I've "boughten" a couple of guns from Bill and always walked away happy. He's also the only $20 transfer FFL that I know of around here.

Years ago in Houston I had a close friend who hosted a local TV talk show and met a lot of show biz folk by hanging with him. Without a doubt, the two most likeable, down-to-earth celebrities I ever had the pleasure of talking to was Dub Taylor and his son, Buck. Dub was a character actor better known for his role as Cannonball on old Western movies and Buck played Newly on Gunsmoke. I picked them up at the airport to take them to the studio for an interview. By the time we got to there it was like we were old friends.

I'll get behind Romney and cover my ears when he starts trying to suck up to the independents. I just can't shake the thought, however, that he'll do what he wants after the election "when he has more flexibility" like Obama.

Santorum decided to cut his losses and walk away today. Kinda sad to think that after more than three years of Obama, Romney's the best we can do.

Some folks can't handle their emotions at auctions and go bat crazy when they see something they just gotta have. I can't prove it, but I think the bidding cards are laced with some kind of pixie dust.

My Bersa Thunder .380 is very similar to the Walther. It fits in my hands very comfortably and has yet to bite me. IMHO it's not a copy, but an improvement in design.

I've sweatted through the GOP primary this far thinking that Romney's gotta be stopped. Now I see it's most important that Prez Zero be stopped. If Romney makes it to the oval office, folks like us better be doing two things: (1) holding his feet to the fire and (2) bust our butts building a national Conservative Party to put our own candidate up in four years. I'm getting more than a little weary of these two-party beauty contests. Perhaps a third choice will create a checks and balance system, like the government is supposed to be.

I went to the auction in Lenoir City last month. They had a 12% buyer's premium but reduced it to 10% if you paid cash. I was the final bidder on a Ruger New Model Blackhawk which had only about 65% of the blueing left but looked to be in sound condition. I still had to pay 9% sales tax, a $10 background check and a $10 transfer fee, but still got a good deal--about $200 less than normal used value. After I got it home and cleaned up, I was happy with the deal.
Then I noticed something peculiar. Even though it was a New Model Blackhawk, there was no lawyer talk on the barrel--you know, the warning to read the manual before you do what the gun's made for. I researched the serial number on the Ruger website and the revolver was off the chart. It had a number lower than the oldest New Model range. I soon learned that my revolver was a transitional piece that Ruger produced. They took an Old Model barrel and stuck it on a New Model cylinder frame. This would appeal to collectors, but whatever premium they would pay might be erased by its worn condition. Whatever...it was a nice find and a good shooter. So, it's buyer beware at those auctions--know before you go.

Just in case you want a sneak peek at what you're getting into....http://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/auctionview.cgi?lid=1377394&kwd=&zip=37802&category=1

We've worn out the pithy lines, such as, "When seconds count, the police are minutes away", or "I carry a pistol because a cop's too heavy." But I carry for two reasons: (1) Because I can; and (2) because both my father and father-in-law fought a hard war in the 40s and lost a lot of friends. If my wife and I ever came to harm because we were too stupid to defend ourselves with the rights we have, I could never forgive myself for dishonoring their sacrifices. My user name is simply my opinion that arming yourself in these perilous times is the most rational thing you can do.

Handloads in your carry gun

Call me naive, but I can't imagine that a case would be decided by what kind of ammo a person used irregardless of other facts. "Well, sure the decedent was sticking up the convenience store and pointed his gun at the defendant, who drew his permitted pistol, ordered the decedent to drop his gun and dodged three bullets himself before firing in self defense. But he handloaded his own ammunition, thus ensuring that the decedent would be deader than factory made rounds."
