Lighten up Francis.

I have no opinion on the matter.  I'm protestant.   Now queue the "Lighten up, Francis" jokes.    :lol:

I think this douchebaggery could be perpetual. Every time someone buys from these aholes it funds their next trip to clean out Wally World or to make a bulk order online. Demand will stay high and these guys will limit the supply by snapping it up at source.

Why can't they just admit they f'd up royal? This is the reason there is so much distrust of the LAPD. They are planning to settle out of court so they don't have to admit wrongdoing and they can gag the victims as part of the deal. IMO, these ladies should absolutely not settle out of court. They should sue civilly and push for criminal prosecution of the officers involved. This whole "well he the other officers were shooting and I shot too" argument they always give is BS. Every officer is responsible for their rounds same as me. None of those POS's have any business walking the street free without threat of prosecution, let alone wearing a badge.

    Yup, if I thought the Big Guy would honor a hedged bet, might claim to be a Christian myself. Also a Muslim, Jew, Hindu, etc etc, just to cover all the bases.   - OS

I'm sure the good Lord is just ecstatic to be your insurance policy against eternal damnation.

just saw this on youtube and had to share ... would LOVE to hear a state of the union address like this      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5ELyG9V1SY

Don't discount the used market. I picked up this model 39-2 a while back for $375. It was like new, and came with 4 magazines, box, tools, and all paperwork.

yes across the board primers powder bullets ammo i have always thaought the shortage was manf. to  to get higher prices

The junk mail is small price to pay for keeping my 2nd amendment rights. 

If you only knew the crap that goes on in the awards system. Compared to what I've seen, this Chappy has met the requirements for a meritorious Bronze Star by comparison to what I've seen it awarded for. If I were king for a day, this lunacy would end and Bronze Stars would require actual valor and this subjective meritorious crap would end. This system awards staff weenies with BSMs while giving ARCOM Vs to lower enlisted who were shot while dragging wounded buddies behind cover. Just disgusting. Don't even get me started of these less than worthless piles of POGs who have received BSMs having never stepped foot in a combat zone. One of the many reasons I was happy to leave. The military wants people to feel good about themselves and could care less about the grunts that actually do the work our military exists for in the first place. Once again, for all the folks in the military who want all the shiny medals and awards that have traditionally gone to the infantry, they should have gone into the infantry. There have been more new authorized tabs badges and such in the past decade than the last 70 years, while the standards for everyone have dropped across the board. And when I see a overweight slob of a Soldier that can't IMT unless its vicariously through an XBOX I think to myself how quickly things would have to change if we had to fight a real war.

Unfortunately rank plays way to large a role in the awards process.  Had an E-4 chaplains assistant created the same powerpoint they at best would have received an acchievement medal or nothing atall.

I wanted to share a website where there are many manuals that can be downloaded for FREE - yes...FREE   http://stevespages.com/page7b.htm    

Ok, lets recap here.   1 Cops open fire on an unidentified civilian vehicle NOT matching that on the APB 2 102  rounds expended without a previous shot at the officers 3 Two civilian women injured by the gunfire 4 LAPD says OOOPS, wrong truck. Don't worry. We will replace your truck. 5 Replace the truck and want the owners to pay taxes on it? 6 Can you say Bend over and kiss your ass goodbye you idiots.   Only one of several comments that come to mind, but my personal favorite--   Dumbass!!!

When cops are taking care of business I can understand But this LA story's Gone way out of hand Acts of aggression Say they're justified Seems an obsession Has started from the inside They're shooting anyone Who even tries to run They're shooting little kids With the toy guns Take it to a jury They'll throw it in your face Cause justice in LA Comes in a can of mace Beat all the ******s Beat whoever you see Don't need a reason LAPD! Beat all the white trash Beat whoever you see Don't need a reason LAPD!

Yes, we've all heard the supply and demand blah, blah, blah.  When the credit card bills start rolling in, guys are sleeping on the couch while their kids are wearing hand-me-downs at soccer games and the mortgage isn't payed is when this foolishness will stop.

  +1     A guy who lives in a small apartment (instead of a palace) , cares for a sick brother, cooks his own meals (instead of having a gourmet cook that was provided) takes the bus to work everyday (instead of the limo provided) and whose main stated goal and major accomplishments are helping the poor in his country is probably a good guy to have representing all christians on the world stage.  I think it will be good for all Christian churches including Catholics.

  Nothing gets by you, Harp.  ;)   - OS

  Try being Southern Baptist. Thick skin, brother, thick skin. 

I like that he chose the name of a saint who was known to defy and embarass the Vatican establishment. Well played, and it sounds like a good fit for his personality and ministry style.

    Yep, I've already noticed an uptick in the amount of Obama stickers I see on vehicles around town. Every time I see a Prius with a Obama/Biden sticker on the car it's all I can do not to run them out of town. 

  If that was the case, we might have a shortage of politicans in DC.

They do. I doubt that there are many Walmart employees engaging in this practice. Considering there are folks lined up in the morning to purchase cases that are posted for sale on Armslist the same day, it is clear to me what is going on. If folks would just not pay those price the price would go down. Unfortunately there are the fear buyers who are causing this whole mess as if ammo is going to be banned tomorrow. I would like some .22 so I can shoot this spring, and I can afford to pay stupid prices for it, but I'd rather stay home and not shoot than contribute to the system of rampant stupidity and greed.

In 15 years of doing this, I've never seen a computer that needed the thermal paste replaced.

I would also recommend the Ruger SR9C. I owned one and it is Fairly light, shoots great, easy to conceal and never had one issue with it. I sold it here to a fellow TGO member. The only reason I sold it was I like Sig's better then any other handgun right now.

Hey now, that's how I got here! Maybe have inspection checkpoints for immigrants from Liberal states. "Must have at least 1 AR with a 30 rd magazine to enter TN!" Seriously though, my wife is adamant about keeping the awesomeness of this state a secret from CA. I agree that keeping most Californians out of TN is a great idea.

  Why does an MLB pitcher not knock the catcher over with a 98 mph fast ball?  Same concept.   A baseball weighs 149 grams and travels at 98 mph.  Kinetic energy  = 0.5 x mass x velocity squared = 1135 ft-lbs.    Muzzle energy from a typical .44 Mag = 1100 ft-lbs.  And Harry Callahan taught us all that a .44 mag sends people flying backwards. 

Its sad people in our firearm community jump the band wagon to profit from a tragedy like Conn. Whats the difference between us and the O'bummer,Bloomberg Dem group jumping in on it to pass more gun control ?      just my .02 worth.    Mike

I agree with this. I don't own one, but I was very surprised/impressed when I shot a buddy's.

Academy sports has the Taurus pt92 (based on the Beretta 92) for $380. Its a great pistol for carry, target shooting and home defense. And its got a rail for add ons.

I bought my wife a Ruger SR9c and I could shoot that thing all day(except for ammo situation lol). I LOVE that pistol!!

Stuff like this in TN piss me off. Another law where the government is dictating something they shouldn't be.

  Funny, we were just thinking about replacing our 3 year old mac's today with some newer models... But then realized they still run like brand new so we can spend the $ on more important things like pizza and beer

You can opt out of most junk mail and spam.

Since no one else has said it, I guess I will....   Just buy a Mac...

I hate the spam too but I hate Feinstein much more.

I know what you mean! But, it's the most effective organization we have to represent our interests. They're not perfect so I just grin and bear it.

I grew up in West Virginia, it was common place that every grocery store had a wine isle. Seems silly to me that this is such a big deal here. Liquor stores just need to adjust their business plan a little, they'll be fine.

You come here to talk about guns....but you stay for the science threads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would imagine on the rifle end the majority of the recoil/impact would be absorbed by the gas system/buffer tube etc. I'm sure if you felt the full force of the bolt cycling back into your shoulder, it would feel too good.

I am a sucker for swag, so of course I'd buy.

It dont matter what the weapon was!!!! Weapons dont murder people!!! People Murder People!!!  Why couldn't it had been a basketball hoop? And he just beat the crap out of all those people with that??? Reckon there would be a lot of 7 foot tall people out of work because the government wanted to ban basketball? 

Went to Academy in Mt. Juliet. They had a couple of AR's in stock.

I'd say if it spends more than a day on the shelf things may be getting back to normal. However I wouldn't count on it. As soon as word gets out it will be long gone. Things wont be getting back to normal until everybody is comfortable leaving ammo on the shelf for the next guy and I dont see that happening any time soon. Honestly how long do think it will be before you can reasonably expect to walk into a Wal-Mart and buy ammo on an as needed basis.

My 1911 has yet to have a malfunction in 3500+ rounds but it has been gone through from top to bottom.   Dolomite

Are you serious?

Yep, sounds like some kick back coming to someone in the pipeline.

Yeah, Knoxville may be a "large metropolitan police department" but Glock is a major corporation. Their lawyers are going to have a field day with this.   If they wanted new guns, they should have said so, doing this was shady and backhanded, it will come back to bite the new CLEO.

For the sake of full disclosure; I'm a glock guy ... but ... They received a shipment in which 10 wouldn't fire properly out of box?!?! I find that hard to believe; whether it's from glock, sig, s&w, beretta. these places aren't going to send a shipment to a big customer like this with that many that won't operate. they wouldn't be in business if they had that kind of track record. Something seems fishy here ... waiting for the story to develop more. but like it's been said ... follow the money and you'll find the truth

I'm kinda like the great Jim Crow in that great Disney production "Dumbo"....  "Ive seen a backporch swing, heard a diamond ring, but i aint never seen an elephant fly (....nor a glock fail....)!!..".   My BS meter is off the scale on this one.   Follow the money.  There aint nothin new under the sun.   leroy
