Just found this on facebook man I would love to have my son shooting like this ...Much respect for this young Lady... Katelyn Francis       http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By_u5kmvq9o

So, you're saying that Gander Mountain has .22LR ammo in stock?!?

It would be worth it. So, how about Obama going down to Alabama and telling that man if he releases that poor little boy, he'll step down as President? Afterall, wouldn't it be worth it?

Jeebus has the media nothing else to report on? How about crushing debt, no jobs, Obozo's leftist socialist policys, the cost of Obozo care, worthless unions and politicians and so on. Oh wait.....nobody cares about that...just destroying the Constitution and everything it stands for. Assholes....

My parents moved to Idaho a few years back, and one of the things I've really missed is the weekend "do-it-yourself" projects my dad and I used to get into when they lived down the road. So when dad told me they'd been in town for a few weeks for a conference, I started trying to find a fun project for us to work on. Dad could only really commit to one day - so I had to find a project that we could do pretty quickly, but I was at a loss. So this past week I was putting the Christmas decorations in the storage room and I noticed this old TV stand. It's been collecting dust (and my overwhelming collection of White Wolf books) for years - basically since we got the flat screen. The wife wanted to throw it away, but I always held out hope that I'd use it for something cool. Today was its day. After talking over the possibilities with dad, we decided to turn this old thing into a gun cabinet. Right now I don't have any way of securing my guns from kids or houseguests. So we headed to home depot early this morning and got some 3/4in maple plywood and got to work. Stuff we already did: - Fixed the doors so they actually close and stay closed properly. - Doubled up the bottom to be sure it could hold the weight - Removed the shelf from the center to make room for the guns (measured it to 5" taller than the Mosin) - Added a stabilizer down the center to hold shelves on either side and to allow me to install a lock. - Added a reinforced back. It didn't have a back before. - Added a reinforced shelf on the right side to catch the door. That shelf will hold my valet where I dump my wallet, keys, etc every day. - Added a shelf for the pistols (10" tall) on the left side. - Reattached a bunch of the molding. Replacing double-sided tape with brass screws. - Replaced the entire top, as it had some water damage from a plant my wife kept up there when it served as a TV stand. Things left to do on it next Saturday after the gun show: - Binding the doors together on the left side, to make one big door. - Install 5 more shelves on the right side - two below the one there now (for Ammo) and three above (Belts, holsters, knives). - Install the pegs that will hold the guns along the left wall. I've got some long wooden cabinet door pull handles for this. - Install the lock on the left door so I can really secure the guns from prying child hands. Things I'll probably do on my own before I put it in the house: - Put a cleat along the bottom to stop the bottom doors and hold the padding. - Stain all the new wood. Refinish (light sanding and light stain) the existing wood. - Put some rubber or felt padding in the left side floor to protect the rifle stocks. - Install battery powered lights on both sides, so I can see back onto the shelves. - Put some hooks on the inside of both doors for hanging.... stuff. - Hang something cool along the back wall. I'm thinking a big metal barn star painted red. I'll post more pictures as the project progresses.

Just linking as the release is oddly worded:   http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/wh-releases-photo-obama-shooting-gun_699234.html   Is there anything "Manly" that he doesn't look awkward as hell doing?

My wife gave birth to our first child "Brooklyn" yesterday morning. Our little girl came 3 weeks early via a c-section weighing 8lbs 4.9oz.

With this administration I have learned while watching this hand (The AWB), what is the other hand doing (Amnesty For Illegal Aliens). I don't think even mighty O thinks he can get the AWB past the house or at least I hope not. Seems to me while we are focused on the 2nd he is pushing for 11-20 million new democrat voters. Stay all over congress about the 2nd, but if you oppose amnesty watch the other hand. I feel like we are being played.

  My first thought also, however tin foilish it may be.

And hired by whom...

I don't think this has been posted yet, but I found it well worth reading. I just hope there is enough resolve in Congress to stand up to the obtuse folks like Durbin & Feinstein.   http://randywakeman.com/WhyGunControlJustDied.htm   Apologies if it has already been discussed here.

Thanks guys! She already has a .22lr "cricket " and a stripped upper and lower in the gun safe. Figured I should start her off right while I still can.

He's so good he don't need no stinkin sights. Lol

Here come the drones!

I don't care if he shoots clays, reloads, competes USPSA, or just collects, I do not like him, and I desire him not to patronize me with his fake or real hobbies. He is no friend, acquaintance, or fellow hobbist of mine. :angry:

Bill Maher and Piers Morgan are two people that I would l love to see attached to a giant aluminum foil sheet and left in the desert sun.

Sure that's not a photo if him taking out Bin Laden? -southernasylum

This is so great, I can't tell you how great I think it is, it's so great. :) Lots of blurbs on the web here and there, but nowhere better than this in American Rifleman, so I just scanned the thing. And the priceless part is that Rahm "DeadFish" Emanuel had to sign some of the checks personally!! (click on pic to expand to full size to read it): - OS

Well my solution would not be popular, but at that point my popularity would not be a concern.  

I love how the media will reference something from a movie as if it is true. Hollywood used a .50 Barrett in the SWAT movie a few years back. In reality, just about anything can bring down an aircraft if it damages the engine. A .303 bolt action Enfield brought down a AH-64 Apache helicopter in Iraq. Better add that hundred year old rifle to the ban list.

Trying to do some research on this story, and not fining out much. It seems like the Sgt's brother is the source and is asking for money for a "legal defense fund". I'm always suspicious of one-sided stories and a request for money. It would be nice if the reporter would get a statement from the PD or at least get the court papers.

have enough i do

Why does my son have to rip the covers off the good magazines? I'm sure my wife has a few Good Housekeeping or People magazines that warrant such blatant disrespect!

10 Stories That Prove Guns Save Lives http://m.townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2013/02/02/10-stories-that-prove-guns-save-lives-n1503549/page/full/

congrats, but seriously buying guns for a newborn is a little over the top.  Especially when it is gun components.    And how does this happen anyway?      All new parents act like it has never been done before.     All tongue in cheek,  Bless you and your wife and the little one.  Kids rock!

Yes, but what is the hunter using for sights?

So why is this not all over CNN and FOX news?? What should banned now?? Thugs maybe??

Hey man - nice shot!

I contact mine several times per week, but I did not elect them and I can't wait to get rid of them.

Lets think of companies like Barrett, that don't sell to California because they don't allow .50 BMG there. Barrett sells calibers of all sorts in all different guns. So, why not sell to California? To prove a point. Along with a VERY long list of companies that refuse to sell to that state. That just proves that companies can always sell their products other places, to other countries, always fill military orders, and do great without skipping a beat.    So, companies boycott police. Big deal. Police suffer, the gooberment gets the point that they don't have a major impact like they think they do, and HOPEFULLY stop this crazy talk and ban agenda crap. Sucks the police have to deal with it, don't take that the wrong way. But peoples eyes need to be opened. There are endless facts out there saying how more gun control is bad, and more guns for personal defense is good. Companies can not sell to someone and do great, this and that. I could rant forever, I'm about to loose my train of thought from thinking about how stupid this all is. 

  You took the words right out of my mouth.

Our policies of not negotiating with hostage takers has cost a lot more than one child their life. Negotiate with them, lie to them, and then kill or arrest them when they release the hostages.

Guess they had to get a photo to prove his claims.

Ain't nothing lucky about it.  When the heck will spring get here?  We got about an 1.5" in about 30 minutes here in North Knoxville.  I'm getting too old for this crap. :(

10-ring, those two Dragon pics are awesome! Especially the CBR. Unlike alot of the Dragon "racers" that like to hang off, you look like you know what you're doing. Here's my first bike. Had it for about a year and upgraded to a Connie. My current ride.

Save the barrel upgrade for when you DO wear out the one you have.  Chrome lining usually extends the life of a barrel by 50-100%.  Here's a good idea of barrel life for a normal steel barrel.   http://www.luckygunner.com/labs/brass-vs-steel-cased-ammo/

My little slice of heaven

Somehow I think the men who run and operate within the tier one units which took part in this exercise are not only smarter than most, but also have a great degree of common sense. I'm not sure what echelon you found yourself at within the armed forces, but you have ZERO concept of unit training plans if your answer to everything is 29 palms out in California, simply because we paid a lot of money for it. Besides, the word was put out to the public that this scenario was taking place. Even the news was there live when all this was going on. If a few people don't keep up with the news, oh well. Too bad I guess. Somehow these things happen all the time and nothing significant happens other than a bunch of people with no knowledge of how these things work bitching about it on the Internet.

Hey, post a link if the article/news video is on the web for us that are not in that tv market.

I have no FB account and never will. My wife has one and it's the biggest bunch of drama B.S. I've ever seen in my life. 99% of the crap she reads on there is phony as a $12 bill. I've never seen so many people trying to be top bitch and so much bull in one place in my life.....LOL Anyway....that's what I think about it.

  If I had to guess ATM it would be for possible future actions in North Korea, Pyongyang's skyline comes to mind.

I understand the realistic need for training...  I've even volunteered at a couple of different MOUT sites with some very realistic training.   But, exactly what is the military training for here?  It's clear that the training here is for tier 1 operators and air crews.  The 'cover story' is they are training for a deployment in the news media.   Where exactly are they deploying to that they need to use attack helo's and fast rope into high rise buildings?  What theater of operation today is the military operating in today where they need that level of training.  And they're doing it in a bunch of different cities over the last 3 to 4 years?   If they're training for a deployment exactly why are they also training with the local police departments?  It's clear from news reports that the local police are not just providing security for these activities, but taking part in the training.  Why do we need tier 1 operators training our civilian police departments in military tactics and combined operations?   I see a valid need for the military to get the training that it needs to conduct it's mission, and tier 1 operators probably do need access to locations not routinely found at regular training sites...  But, the military isn't supposed to 'operate' inside the US except in times of war, and I'm not aware of any 1st world country we're operating in where a Tier 1 operator needs practice on fast roping into high rise buildings.   What exactly is the government/military planning for?  And why the poorly crafted cover story that doesn't hold up?     I don't agree with the assessment that the military shouldn't be able to train outside of military installations, but I do think the military should not be training anywhere for operating within the borders of the US, and should not be training civilian police officers in military tactics.      

Where is the fun in not pissing off the few liberals I know on facebook. I spend a lot of time on my witty comments and links.

Lordy. If someone actually used scissors to defend themselves, then we'd have to be licensed to own scissors. And Heaven forbid you need left handed scissors, that would require a tax stamp.

Not worried about possibly paying a little more (supporting a new upstart), I went in there to purchase a S&W M&P 15-22. It wasn't in stock...no problem, he took my name/number and said he would order it and call me...I even offered to leave him money (so he knew I wasn't dicking around) and told him that I was in no hurry. No call. I called back and was blown off. Having once owned a small business, I thought that this was incredible. Here was a guaranteed, minimal effort sale where price wasn't a huge deal (within reason). He won't see me again as I don't like to be a "bother."

 Congratulations on winning your battle with alcohol, not easy, I know...... 

  I don't think the rank thing is an "official" rule. Of course "official" is a relative term since the whole challenge coin thing is pretty unofficial.    My team leader used to love to bring his challenge coin in the shower held between his cheeks. He would lather up the shampoo and then let it drop. Sick bastard. :D
