Yeah, I've taken dog bites before; real ones, not nips. I'd take one again to avoid killing an animal that was provoked by my behavior. A good example would be a recent slaying of a dog by a Clarksville PD officer. The dog was chained up in the owners yard. The officer cut through her yard not knowing about the dog. The dog approached him and was shot dead, on a leash in the owners own yard. The dog, by all accounts was not an aggressive dog. I realize that many owners of aggressive dogs will say that, but even if this dog was aggressive the officer should have either taken the bite or ran away. Sorry, there is no excuse for some of the shootings I hear of. It boils down to trigger happy cops who do not respect the property rights of citizens.

I'll have to put Stevie Wonders boycott on my who gives a crap shelf.

He's blind to reality.

I watched her interview on Piers Morgan last night. It was painful to watch on many levels. Her speech impediment aside, she clearly isn't capable of passing a first grade vocabulary exam. She is also clearly a product of the ghetto environment. She is a perfect example of what's wrong with a large segment of society.    When ever these things are pointed out to her, she gets very upset. Due to the fact that she likely only associates with others on a similar level, she is convinced that she is perfectly normal. Piers, her attorney, those who laughed at and applauded her comments are guilty of a serious injustice by not pointing out the fact that she is completely ignorant to reality. Whoever has been in charge of raising her should be severely punished for allowing this young woman to end up like this.

I think you miss the point entirely. If a dog charges me in my yard or as I'm walking down the street is one thing. To come on someone's property or provoke a situation and then shoot someone's dog is not the same.

It is a crime, very nearly equivalent to shooting an officer, to shoot a police dog.   If such a high value can be placed on a police dog, which has had time and attention expended for it, why not the equivalent for a family pet, to which a family has expended time and attention?

It's not enough that Zimmerman has been through more than a year and half of legal and personal hell in which he has been defamed and slandered, but acquitted on all trumped up charges.  Now, just to kiss Al Sharpton's butt, Holder is trolling for bottom feeders to rat Z out for possible race discrimination.  Alexander, Corker and Jimmie Duncan are going to get an earful from me. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/07/16/Holder-DOJ-witch-huntZ

This is going to be my last post anywhere (the blog, Facebook, or TGO) about this case.  Trayvon Martin is dead because Trayvon Martin decided to unlawfully attack George Zimmerman.  Whether GZ's assumptions were accurate, whether he is a racist, whether he followed TM after the police told him to stop, or whether GZ could have used other means to end the assault, the single fatal gunshot was in response to a proactive attack made by Trayvon Martin.  He could have run away or gotten off the phone with his girlfriend and called the police, but instead, he decided to attack GZ.   There are a lot of gun owners, including some on TGO, that need to think long and hard about this case because their words suggest they are quite willing to fire off a gunshot at the mere hint of aggressive behavior and/or take full advantage of the "stand your ground" provision of the law if given the chance.  As this case shows, one can easily find themselves sitting in the defendant's chair or dead because of they let their ego get in the way of prudent and wise decision-making.  

I would suggest a Spike's Tactical ST Compresser in 300BLK with a single point sling.  Might be a little bulky for casual everyday wear, but it would definitely make a fashion statement.

Well, that spoils my plans for the rest of the summer. I guess I'll have to go see someone that I ACTUALLY GIVE A CRAP ABOUT instead. 

Stevie who?

Meh, that's up to his manager. How the hell would he know where he's at? ...and who cares what he's superstitious of?

Your phone sucks and you're holding it wrong.

Had that been my kid, would've been suicide by daddy.  Hope the little girl isn't too traumatized. 

Man if ole Merle from Walking Dead had of survived . . .this would have been the cats meow for him. . .

First I would like to thank Luke for not going public with who he bought his from, until he contacted me and gave me a chance to work it out, these bcg's came from me and the cam pins need to be stoned, if you bought one or more from me I will get you directions on how to do this or you can send them to me and I will stone them for you, please if you bought a bcg from me please check them

Some kinda weird karma, both the berries and the body were ripe.

  True, but it does at least prohibit an employer from stating 'no firearms in vehicles on company property' in their employee rules, handbooks, etc.   Honestly, I think the best way to fix a whole lot of problems would be to have a state law that recognizes a person's vehicle as their private property and clearly state that the confines of said vehicle have the same protections as the confines of one's residence regardless of where said vehicle happens to be parked.  The parking space, itself, might be an employer's property but the vehicle and its contents remain my property and, unless there is some evidence a crime has been committed (which should require LEO involvement) it is none of their business what otherwise legal items I choose to keep in my own, personal vehicle.  Further, as RobertNashville said, make it clear that only LEO can compel searches of private vehicles, that even LEO must have a warrant or very strong probable cause and that an employer is committing a crime if said employer so much as insinuates that an employee will be fired if he or she doesn't 'voluntarily consent' to a search of his or her vehicle.

  The 'braille flipoff' has got tears streaming down my cheeks here!!!

Anyone who has read very many of my posts know that I have no love for Walmart.   That said, I hope Walmart sticks to their guns on this one...if DC wants to continue as a cesspool of the uneducated and unemployed I say let them; the voters who put these idiots in office are getting exactly what they deserve.

You are who I think you are until you prove me wrong. Served me well for 60 years now.

What a dipsh*t. :) He better not ruin iphone porn for the rest of us.

And this concerns me how?

It may be called profiling but it's really common sense.   If blue-eyed, 5'2", blond white women committed the majority of bank robberies wouldn't it be common sense for a bank to be concerned when a blue-eyed, 5'2" blond white women walked in their door?   People need to get over PC quit worrying about hurting somebody's feelings  and use common sense!

Little too much prep work for me with the pastes. I'm not top tier enough to need something other than Gun Lube from Slip2000 but when I feel saucy I break out my bottle of Liberal Hippy tears. But I only use that on my 88 Magnum.

I should add that when I do manage to piss somebody off, I take a close look at myself, especially if it's somebody that doesn't normally get pissed off.

  I'll summarize:   "I hate capitalism when I'm on the wrong end of the supply and demand curves and I hope the people who bought for an investment get screwed."

I want to take a moment to offer a public apology to anyone I may have offended during discussions regarding this case. I strongly believe what I believe, and I allowed my frustrations to get the better of me in a few of my posts. While some of my comments clearly came across as personal attacks, that was never my intention. If you are one of those I have offended, I sincerely apologize. 

If the biggest majority of a certain type of people didn't act like animals they wouldn't get a blanket assessment as such. If so many muzzies weren't backward murdering douche bags, maybe they wouldn't be judged as all bad. The same goes for everyone else. Soon many white folk are gun and Bible clinging traditionalists. So, most are viewed the same. I AM one so I'm perfectly fine with being profiled as such. Maybe if most people in the ghetto and government housing had a job, didn't lay up and have 9 kids for social welfare to support and didn't steal or sell crack, we wouldn't view them all as such. It is what it is. If the world doesn't like that, too damn bad.

Chevy with a 5.3! The end!

It's sad if that happens, especially after being found "not guilty". I don't know who will march for Zman. My feeling however, would be "groups" that are not PC in our society. I am afraid that the supporters of Zman will have several swastika tattoos and/or be dressed in bed sheets.I could be wrong, but I don't think too many good honest people are going to rally in support of Zman. It's actually sad that either side has to rally at all to bring attention to wrongdoings, or what people perceive as wrong doings. You can make up a banner or a sign and go out and rally in support of George Zimmerman. It's your right to do so. Maybe you can get a whole new gig going! DaveS I see what you did there. Nice underhanded way of attempting to color anyone who doesn't agree with you as a klan member. One small tidbit you forgot, Zimmerman ain't white, the klan don't like him either! You have spent a lot of time whining about the way the folks who disagree have supposedly treated you/ spoken to you. You don't get to play the victim anymore after that statement. You have essentially called the majority of this board neo nazis. You just classed yourself in with the race hustlers like Jackson and Sharpton in exhibiting a complete absence of credibility. You disgust me. ETA: For the first time in the years I have been on this board, I added a name to the ignore list. Congrats DaveS.

What really bothers me is we have a member here on this board that is selling .22 ammo for $50 a brick. And nobody seems to mind that he is doing it. It's hard to believe that anyone would buy it at that price.

I served in the navy in 65-69 and I can tell you that seeing the panthers in uniforms and carrying spears standing in formation outside the port athority in new york was a real wake up for me. I may have started this thread in the wrong place but I did it accidently and with good intentions. It's not about Zimmerman it's about This country's survival.

IF the officer's duties require him to be in a specific location, and IF, in that location, somebody's unrestrained pet dog is acting aggressively towards the officer, the dog is likely to get shot.  Any dog will protect its family.  Any dog will bite.   Put yourself in that situation.  What would you do?

Bro's Cajun Cuisine in Nashville is another good place.    http://www.broscajuncuisine.com/

Martin's BBQ in nolensville is top notch

Could you not find a place in the 38 other Zimmerman threads for this?

  Of course. Lots of guns owners, me included, would consider 6K rounds merely a decent start.   - OS

"Pardon me sir, allow me to strap on my AR pistol before we engage in combat".

I went to look at a foreclosed property that was up for auction last month. A neighbor walked down to the road and inquired as to what I was doing there. I calmly informed him that I was there to look at a piece of property that was for sale. Once he saw that I was there for a legal purpose, he filled me in on all the details of the property and the neighborhood. I did not punch him in the nose or beat his head on the sidewalk. In return, he did not shoot me. We both parted on friendly terms. If Trayvon Martin had been my son, I would have taught him the proper way to interact with others.

If you count "stand your ground" and castle doctrine, which extends to property as well I think the number is more like 30 states.

  Gotcha. In that case, yeah, all the IWBs I've seen or used would work best with 2 hands if you're tucked in and covering the gun. You can untuck with one hand, then draw, but it's faster to use two hands. Now I either don't tuck, or wear it outside the tucked shirt and under a jacket, or no jacket and don't really care who might see it, depending on location and circumstances.

That looks like doodoo. If it was all I had, I guess I'd be thankful but there's a big difference in happy and thankful.

I'm not an AR pistol fan to begin with, but I try to keep an open mind. I asked myself, "self, if you didn't think AR pistols were awkward and ugly enough as it is, would you give this a try?"   My answer was "hell no!", which I thought was rather rude. I need to work on my people skills.

I won't support group with the goals of having someone lynched, while hiding behind the guise of "justice" just because their feelings were hurt over something they initially wanted. The race pimps have officially burnt out everyone with claims of racism, no one listens to them anymore except the drones. And even when everyone involved says it's not about race, they still come screaming on the firetrucks hoping others will jump on... This isn't an equal rights rally, it's a rally for vengeance and retaliation because the mushbrains didn't get their way.

I wouldn't want to be Zimmerman for the world.  Protests have been going on nationwide and I've been seeing a lot of non-black faces among them.  He is truly "The Most Hated Man In America" right now.  The media is squeezing every bit of ratings they can out of it.  They're going to retry the case for the next few weeks.  And make no mistake, every single time Zimmerman sneezes, he's back in the media regaining his MHMIA title.  So, when DOJ decides not to pursue civil rights charges...more hatred.  When he sues whoever or whatever...more hatred.  When he wins his immunity from civil suits...more hatred.    Basically, he's going to be hated for the rest of his life.    I think his only hope is if the Martins somehow move past their pain and reach out to him.  A picture with them all holding hands would be the most healing event in recent history.  And just might save his life.   The one thing going for him is Robert Zimmerman.  That guy is brilliant.  He's been making the talking heads look like idiots all morning long.  Very calm and logical under fire.  I could only hope that one of my family members would be as good an advocate for me if I were ever in the kind of trouble George is in.

he has knowledge and skill but I really doubt how much surviving he does on that show.  There are youtube vid's some of you may allow yourself to watch ;) that show him surviving from a reverse angle as his camera and tourists and vehicles are clearly visible just yards away.   Survivorman would kick his ass in a survival showdown.

This Swede wasn't too cool as I recall, hint Duck Dynasty (BTW nice rifle): http://
