  A woman goes to the Doctor, worried about her husband's temper. The Doctor asks: "What's the problem? The woman says: "Doctor, I don't know what to do. Every day my husband seems to lose his temper for no reason, and it scares me." ... The Doctor says: "I have a cure for that. When it seems that your husband is getting angry, just take a glass of water and start swishing it in your mouth. Just swish and swish but don't swallow it until he either leaves the room or goes to bed and falls asleep." Two weeks later the woman comes back to the doctor, looking fresh and reborn.The woman says: "Doctor that was a brilliant idea! Every time my husband started losing it, I swished with water. I swished and swished, and he calmed right down! How does a glass of water do that?" The Doctor says: "The water itself does nothing. It's keeping your mouth shut that does the trick...."  

If I don't see a warrant, we trade fire. End of story. You're not coming in without warrant or invitation. If I die in the process so be it.

So my wife gave birth this morning to our third child.  We did not find out the gender beforehand, so it was a surprise.  We are going to call her Pepper.  Everything looks great.  Praise God

Obama rated 5th best president ever...... Of the total of 44 US Presidents: Obama rated 5th best president ever. I was just reading a Democratic publicity release that said, "...after a little more than 4 years, Obama has been rated the 5th best president ever." The details according to White House Publicists: * Reagan, Lincoln, and 8 others tied for first, * 15 presidents tied for second, * 17 other presidents tied for third, * Jimmy Carter came in 4th, and * Obama came in fifth       (borrowed from another forum)

Well, thanks. Its official my wife has no sense of humor.

I thought I'd post some pics of my dads end of the world chicken coop. My name, not his lol. Its built out of oak we cut from our land, then cut on the band mill. It sits on oak 6x6's with a rock foundation, and its built in a bat and board style, with external nest boxes to get eggs from the outside. It has storage up top for anything you'd really need to store, we usually keep chicken feed up there. Anyways I thought I'd share, since its on of the strongest and best built chicken coops I've seen, and I'm proud to say I helped my old man build it.

It screams "Look at me! I've got a gun on me". Since I almost always carry I don't like to attract attention.

I miss George Washington.

  hey those were both mine,  give credit where credit is due.

  This is exactly right. The founders never intended on an income tax; they would roll over in their graves at the idea of the federal reserve; if they knew the federal government could tax a farmer for wheat grown in his own field and consumed only by his family they would start another revolution. And the list goes on and on and on. The country we have now is almost 180 degrees opposite what the founders...well founded. 

Thats's Saint Ronnie to you sir. :)

did panic buying ever stop?  How will i notice it started again?

I'd have ended up in jail if them guys came beating on my door and pulling my family out of the house.  My mouth would have gone into overtime.

After Boston bombings Bloomberg states that we will "have to change" interpretation of the Constitution to provide greater security to ward off future attacks. http://politicker.com/2013/04/bloomberg-says-post-boston-interpretation-of-the-constitution-will-have-to-change/     Mr Bloomberg may I quote from a founding father that you seem to look down upon Ben Franklin--   "Those willing to trade essential liberity for temporary security,deserve neither liberity nor security"

It's a bit too much for me.  I think some pro 2A apparel can come off as a bit too extreme, and I think this one does.   Not to mention I just generally don't like the style.

My Betty Crocker cookbook says 284' starts to deform polymer.

What is the intended purpose of the rifle? The reason I ask is so that I can give the best advice w/regards to whether or not this would be the best choice in optics ... In general yea these are pretty decent electronic sights, but I wouldn't suggest them for anything more than "recreational use". If you are wanting an optic for a work/duty/fighting/shtf rifle than I'd suggest ponying up the extra dough for one of the three proven performers such as an actual Aimpoint, Trijicon or Eotech.

hell, we should'a dropped another one just for good measure.

I think not enough people actually read this before busting the vain in their foreheads. I thought it was great.

just thank your creator he was not rated ahead of Ronnie.  ;)

I agree with him.  We MUST loosen the constraints on the 2nd to ensure "the security of a free State".

What we fight today is not war, IMHO, and that includes Afghanistan. War is uncivilized by nature yet we try to civilize it. We haven't fought a war since WWII. Even Israel is trying to civilize war lately with their refusing to destroy a rocket-launching site because it was sitting atop an apartment building. You see, true innocents don't live next to a rocket-launcher. They either cause the rocket-launcher to be moved or they move away from it. If you house a combatant then you are no longer a non-combatant, and neither are your loved ones.

I love 1911s. Don't much care for Kimber as I think they are overpriced for what you get and, personally, I've been unimpressed with the quality and reliability of the several I've owned.   I too would consider a Rock Island or Sig 1911; both very good for the $ spend.   That said, as much as I love 1911s and even occasionally carry one, it's no longer my sidearm of choice for something I'm going to bet my life on.  A carry weapon is a tool and based on personal experience, I switched to carrying a Glock about three years ago.

That's why they need one of these!

I have experience in this.... They may enter  the fugitive's  house, the co-signers house, or any house that they are certain the fugitive is in without a warrant.  If they are to do so, in Tennessee, they must notify local LEOprior to arrival at the house.  That being said, I would never force my way inside of a house fitting the 3rd criteria, that is WAY to dangerous.  If I was for sure they were there I would simply call the local LEO and have them open the door for me.  People seem to open doors better for them.  It is never a good idea just to waltz into someone's house.  (Especially Jesse's house, home of the M16!)

If a whacko comes to kill your kids... shoot him. This ain't hard.

  This is how I feel. This kid killed people and the Aurora shooter killed many more. Both were US citizens. If you are going to treat this kid as a terrorist you need to charge the aurora shooter, as well as dozens of other killers, as a terrorists. I think people see muslim and automatically assume they are affiliated with a terroristic organization but so far none have claimed responsibility. Al Qaeda has even denied what could have been an easy moral booster to their organization. So in the end I think this kid is a killer like any other but his face will be the face of terror until the next attack comes. If we are basing him being a terrorist on the fact he is muslim then every other muslim should be a terrorist anytime they commit a crime. Or if it is because they kill multiple people then there are a lot of terrorists out there. Or if it is because he used explosives then there are a lot of killers out that have used an explosive. I think, in the end, he is just a killer that used and explosive to kill. He is still a sick individual that should be held accountable in the same way as any other citizen who committed a similar crime.   We have a much larger problems than terrorists. The "Global War on Terror" is name used to garner support for a lot of the operations we do that are questionable at best and outwright wrong at worst. Everyday we are killing innocent people in other countries in this "Global War on Terror". On top of that the rights of US citizens are being trampled on every day in the name of the "Global War on Terror". Our guns will eventually be taken away by the governement in the name of this "Global War on Terror" because the powers that be are already trying to connect the two to garner support. Our right to privacy has, and will continue to, be eroded by the government every day because of the"Global War on Terror". Almost every article in the Bill of Rights will likely be be null and void before the "Global War on Terror" is declared over, if it ever is. And the "Global War on Terror" will be the excuse given every time a right we once had is taken away. And if you think about all that has been taken away from us then you realize the terrorists are winning. Terrorist, by definition, is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. We have been coerced, by the terrorist and our own governemnt, to accept the loss of freedom(s) as acceptable in hopes of preventing terrorism. And in my eyes the terrorists win every time we are coerced into believing that loosing just one more freedom for the hope of security is acceptable.   I believe it isn't the terrorists most Americans have to worry about but what the government does in the name of preventing terrorism.   Then beyond this fear of terror we have our economy that is getting worse every day and that is what really worries me. I believe all the terrorist attacks combined will pale in comparison to the death toll if our economy collpased, even if only for a few months. But a collapse is what is needed to reset everything. When you consider how many actually depend on their benefit then you will see how bad it will be when those benefits stop. And in the wake of any type of collapse there will be even more freedoms taken away.

She'll just be replaced by another butt scratch'n, nail bite'n, nose pick'n, lying assed, ugly assed, stupid assed, drunk assed, political whore that hates America like her.......   did I miss anything?.....

  Nah.  That's part of the problem.  I usually say whatever comes to mind.  Do think I'll skip this one ...

Our children are no longer being educated, they are being indoctrunated.

if they needed a gun why didn't they just go to a gunshow?   Of course this act does prove that open carrying makes you a target.

nuclear powered of course. :x:

civilized warfare is why we have not won.   Kill them all and they may hate us but they will leave us alone.

I'm glad I saved my Confederate money...I've got a feeling it's going to be useful at some point.  

I don't think this is a panic buying over the threat of legislation as much as it is a panic buying out of fear that they will get in a situation where they can't defend them selves.  For the most part legislation is dead until the the midterms int 2014.

The event will be located at 4980 Meadowbrook blvd Arrington, TN at "King's Chapel". Battles and tours both days. Hope to see some of ya'll there!   Dave S

As far as I'm concerned, ALL 1911's are fun at the range. My girlfriend handles steel framed 1911's without a problem. She's never shot one with a lighter frame, which is going to have more recoil. When it comes to girls, you never know how they're gonna like it until they shoot it.

Call Crazy John at 1911 HEAVEN and get a Les Baer UTC he will treat you right.

I can't and won't argue with any of that. He was the best president this nation has had during my lifetime, no question about it. That doesn't make him a good president. Just because one turd stinks less than the rest of the pile doesn't make it a bouquet of roses.

Saddens & disappoints me that there are some folks out there that are even remotely interested in anything that that race-baiting POS has to say about anything.

  Subway chocolate chip cookies included?

its a brave soul that would volunteer for that mission. I do agree its a hi-tech version of our ancesters western migration though. different dangers with the same end result....you die.

there is no valid reason for restricting the sale of any legal product.   Anything legal should be available 24-7.   but of course our state legislature knows what is best for us.

As I said, Reagan was not perfect on the second amendment but this is the same Reagan who also signed legislation relaxing restrictions on firearms in 1986...and yes, the same Reagan who, along with Carter and Ford wrote a letter to Congress in favor of passing the 1994 AWB.   Let's not lose sight of the fact that a lot of other formerly "pro-2A" Republicans voted for that AWB legislation including one who is a darling of the pro-gun crowd in Ohio right now.   As I said, I don't vote on any one issue. Moreover, if you look hard enough you'll find problems on one or more specific issue with pretty much every man who has ever held office (including many of the founders) - until Jesus comes back and takes over I suspect it will always be that way...my purpose of the thread was to foster a discussion on the concept of self-governance but whatever.

Yesterday a buddy and I drove 150 miles, $35 in gas, $10 to get in the gate, went to get small rifle and pistol primers, 5k of each, got asked 40 & 60 per thousand by a young fellow. We politely said that was too high for Wolf primers and as my buddy and I turned to leave, we literally got laughed at by the young salesman who then quoted us to the girl behind the counter.   I got home and ordered 5k of each from Sinclair at 21.99/1000... I will not tolerate being derided by a vendor trying to gouge me, nor will I ever spend one cent on his products again.

This is sage advice and I hope everyone is paying attention to who's taking advantage and who isn't. I hope the shops/people that are gouging right now have 2" of dust on their hoarded over-priced stuff or wind up competing with Walmart prices when it's over.

Asked once by a local kid "Are you a cop?" Told him "No, just legally armed". Next asked by the kid "Can I shoot it?" "No, wait till you're older and you ask your dad if you can shoot his".

Never understood how the fat doesn't go rancid, regardless of what kind you use?   Or maybe it actually does, but just isn't objectionable or harmful?

I try to practice Road Relax, I drive a lot and I refuse to let what others do get under my skin. We choose what we let offend us. I try to be someone that is very hard to offend. Life is to short. When driving on a 4 lane I will move over from the left lane if I see someone coming up driving faster than I am. On a 2 lane if I cannot get out of the way and they are dangerously close I may hit my left turn signal and that will back them off, still if not no big deal. I have been in a car where the driver hit his brakes and the car behind us hit us. The driver of the car I was in was ticketed for causing the accident. Things happen! I have made mistakes behind the wheel so I do not get to excited when others do. I do get amused by others flipping someone off, like that is supposed to hurt or something. I want to hold up my hands a say please no not the finger it just hurts to much. Keep in mind you never know what the other person is going through. Maybe they have a good reason to be upset or in a hurry.

9mm, .223, and .22lr aside,  I've not even seen a friggin box of .30-30 in a loooonnnnggg time, and you could generally score that at Wally's during the '08 panic era.     - OS
