In my opinion, muslins brought this on themselves. Maybe this could be an alternative to being sniffed by a dog for their transportation needs... Dave S

I was hunting down in Alabama a couple of years ago on a Sunday during the playoffs.  My buddy and I had been watching football, drinking beer and eating hot wings Saturday night.  Well I had not been hunting long before nature called.  With the beer and hot wings, lets just say it was not pleasant.  I had no sooner pulled my pants up when a buck comes running in snorting and grunting up a storm.  i guess he was looking for the other "buck" he had heard grunting.  I dropped him with a quick shot before I had even buckled my pants.

Simple don't travel . Welcome to the good ole USA. . Nobody asked ya to come here any way .

This is still 'Merica, and Tennersee at that. What is this "one rifle" concept anyway?   - OS

Well if the stupid azz people would quit buying that inflated price ammo, then they would stop.

Going through a difficult time lately, and I have 1 rifle in the house.  This may sound like someone wedded to the past, but that one rifle is my Garand.   Recoil is quite manageable.  It is a few pounds heavier than I'd really like these days, true - but I'm not up to playing action hero anymore, so very unlikely I'd have to tote it very far.   The caliber will stop anything I'm likely to shoot at with a rifle - I can't recall ever hearing that 30-06 is an underperformer.  I've even clipped up some black tip on the off chance I'm attacked by Christine.   Clip fed, but I've plenty of clipped ammo on hand.  3 seconds to shove a new clip in and get back on sights, and that isn't trying for speed.   Accuracy?  Maybe mine is specially blessed or something, but I'm accustomed to 1 MOA.  Iron sights, of course, but the best iron sights ever mounted on a bangstick.

Me and a buddy went squirrel hunting about 20+ years ago. his dad ended up walking along with us but not hunting. I was quite the novice and very excited about my second hunting trip. After about 30 minutes I got one and dropped it in the pouch on the back of my vest. About 20 minutes later as we were relocating I felt something move on the small of my back. I instanly knew what was wrong, The squirrel was still alive. I knew instantly how to handle this situation, I ran as hard as I could backwards and slammed into a tree, then would step forward and would thrust back into the tree trying to save myslef from the impending revenge of a stunned squirrel. On about the third time slamming by trophy into the tree I noticed my buddy and his dad laughing hysterically and the stick that the dad used to poke me in the back still in his hand.

Rushing took the gun from his four-wheeler and attempted to fire it. When it misfired, Rushing commented to the others, “This thing doesn’t work.” And that’s when he pointed it at his head.   Looks like he was DEAD wrong about that!

I'm more akin to "The Government's too damn big"  philosophy myself.

There is a different president now and the DOJ is run by someone who would otherwise be in jail the rest of his life.

RE:  The McCain "respect" thing.   I think we make mistakes passing out the term "respect" in lots of cases; and the McCain thing is one of them.   Its important that "respect" be passed out for action that gained it.  It is not "eternal" .... . It can be lost; and that is what has happened with McCain..  Said another way, respect is earned for the actions that precipitated that "respect"...   It can be lost.   It is not enduring.   The fact of the matter is that john mccain is an old hippie with a backbone; nothin else.  I dont like hippies on principle, and i damn sure dont like MCCain.  Havin said that, i held my nose and voted for him because i couldnt stand the alternative that we have now.     McCain is a genuine product of the rarified atmosphere that permeates the majority of the "Inside the Beltway Crowd" and the top echelons of the military. He symbolizes all that is wrong with politics today, both within the Republican party and politics in general.   He believes everything he says is right and that us delightful rustics should bow down and do what he says.. period.  John McCain is exactly like John Glenn.  He is a shameless politico who has used military service as a stepping stone to political debauchery.  He no more is a patriot today than i am an russian cosmonaut.    He is an old statist, out to tell us delightful rustics what to do and what to think.  After all, he is "...The best and brightest..." and we should bow down.  I say pooey.  Forget it.....I aint doin it; and i aint gonna honor anyone like McCain nor let him disarm me.    Remember, military service doesnt translate to patriotism.  It may translate to heroism, but it does not translate to patriotism.  The Hessians were german mercanaries for the British in the Revolutionary War.   non believin leroy

A 30/30 Marlin with the Hornady Leverevolution ammo would be hard to beat.

Well, you know the old saying...  Watch out for the feller with one rifle; he probably knows how to shoot it. 

Assuming ammo is already plentiful before SHTF I would go with my ar15 with 22 conversion kit to cover my bases for 223/556 and keep my Blachawk 9mm/38/357 for my pistol. Why? Easy, two guns, five extremely popular and effective calibers. I win.

Don't be fooled into thinking that since you've done it once the next time will be easier.

IL, CA, & NY  are still "Shall not enter States" for my purposes.

Special thanks to the team over at Out Post Armory for hooking me up with this. I was able to pick up a couple boxes of .22 Mag as you will see in the picture. I also happened to grab up a PMR 30 and some extra mags to go with them. For those that don't know, PMR 30 by Kel Tec holds 30 .22 magnums.

I was hog hunting with a buddy in south Florida one afternoon when nature called. I told him to go on ahead on the trail and I would catch up after I had finished my business. We were in planted pines and the forest floor was covered with 4 foot palmettos. I slipped off the trail a few yard and found a comfy spot. Just as I dropped trousers and squatted my buddy jumped a herd of pigs just up trail from me. I heard the squealing and palmetto rustling and realized they were headed right towards me. I desperately tugged at the .44mag on my loose belt with my left hand, while my right held firmly to my anchor sapling. As the hogs got closer, the gun finally came out of the holster. I cocked the hammer and pointed towards the noise, fully expecting to have a face to face encounter in the next seconds. The palmettos were so thick I couldn't see more than 4 feet in any direction. Finally the hogs passed without me seeing one. I finished and gathered myself, chuckling at the prospect of having to fire that Ruger .44mag one-handed from a squatted position, bare-assed, and the likelihood that I would have fallen backwards fulfilling every woodsman's worst bathroom nightmare. When I popped back out of the trial, there was my buddy. He said, I thought that old saying was going to come true, you know the one... I thought you went to crap and the hogs ate you... LOL. 

  Your correct Raoul, for 22lr that is way to much and it's been pretty obvious that it will be the last to recover.  I really only looked at 40SW, 44 mag, 9mm etc that TankerHC and others mentioned in posts. My mistake......didn't really look at 22lr. The CF ammo I looked at was not at pre panic prices, but I doubt we'll ever see that again. The above calibers were nothing at all like the resellers are charging and that was what I was really posting about. The reasons everyone gave a few months ago as to why they were buying from the reseller at gun shows, GB etc....are gone.

...and yes, I needed lots of ammo. I got to see good shooters, got some advice. It was challenging for me and all was good. Thanks everyone.

My dad, uncle, cousin, and I all went squirrel hunting on some old family land. We spotted a huge squirrel nest  up a tree and saw what we thought was the biggest squirrel ever running around in it.  Dad sends me around the backside of the tree to scare the squirrel to his side.  I do, he shoots, and this giant "squirrel" comes  crashing down breaking branches as it falls. It hits with a loud thud!  It was a opossum! 

I was all ways told you can't fix stupid but he showed that you could

Here is mine: I bought it a couple weeks ago off Gunbroker. It's not a typical Glock, it's their Professional Line, noted as "GL23PL, or PL23 for short. It's now my daily carry. I like it because with the included holster, you are guaranteed not to shoot yourself if it discharges negligently because of where it is pointed when holstered. And trust me, it discharges negligently a lot. It's worth it though because not only do these discharges replace my CW badge (because I no longer have to display that I have a gun when everyone can just hear rounds popping off in the distance while I am walking), but it also looks different too when I have to toss it to the ground shortly before being tackled to the pavement by the LEO's I now know by name. Top of its class though. Top of its class!

He doesn’t have a son anymore; Zimmerman shot him.

Drug dogs offend U.S. citizens that are dopers. Terrorists and criminals will try to stop anything that could result in their arrest.

There should be a bunch of IP attorneys in Nashville because of the music industry. It's a big money game. You can file for a copyright without an attorney. You just have to download the forms, fill them out, and send them in with a fee. With that said, Lester hit on the most valid points.

Besides using the net to read up on it there's a law firm in nashville that does patent, copyright, and intellectual property work. Waddey and Patterson if that helps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

I have more faith in my marlin 30-30 than any rifle inxmy house. 7 round total capacity and the new hornady rounds are awesome! 200 yards with absolut ely no doubts.

The victims’ families of 911 were paid over $2 mil each. Military personnel were awarded the Purple Heart and treated as combat injuries.   Victims of the Ft. Hood attack struggle with medical treatment and bills while the shooter is still drawing a paycheck.   How is what he has admitted he did any different than the terrorists in the 911 attack?

Pm me with all the specs and plans, then I'll get back with you ;)

It isn't against their religion. Just more whining.

Spare tire is like carrying a firearm.   I'd rather have one and not need it.... you know the rest.

They need to add Lamar to that toon, i'm sure he's in that line behind the big fat SOB.

Thanks for the tip about Tomars. Shipped fast and now look great on my knife. I am an Oath Keeper. One of the 3%

I agree, I can't enjoy city parks here in Nashville, or go into a city community center because it's posted...  State, county, and city property should not be able to post except in the cases of courtrooms, and areas that regularly house prisoners.  Outside of those 2 exceptions we should remove the ability for any government entity to post in TN.  

With the exception of detachable mag, I think your quals describe that Win94 in 30/30. However a detachable mag can be a negative because it can be lost. If I could have only one, my winny94 goes with me.

  Lever action for sure. Lots of options. I love my Browning B92 in .44mag. It's a blast, and holds 11 in the tube, and weighs somewhere around 5lbs. Fun, light, and plenty of power. It doesn't like cast boolits (micro-groove!) but is darn accurate with jacketed bullets.

If your definetly wanting a bolt gun then the gunsite scout is about the only one that fits the criteria. If you wanna go to .223 then the Mossberg MVP takes AR mags and is a bolt gun. http://www.mossberg.com/products/rifles/centerfire/mvp-series Tapatalk ate my spelling.

My Dad, who spent 18 months there as Army Infantry would disagree.   "if only Ho and Truman could have done what Obama and Sang did this week, so much unpleasantness might have been avoided."   Unpleasantness...that's rich.

I'd rather see the money go to the Wings than anything else over there. Seems if I had to pick between giving it away to all the welfare cases or giving it to probably the only organization left in Detroit that still has the ability to make money, I'd rather spend it on the guys who actually do SOMETHING with their time other than sit around on the stoop drinking "fowdys". YMMV Lets go Red Wings!!

Haha, the same reason hunting should be banned. People could just go to the store where the meat is made instead of killing an innocent animal.

And then the hippies plug their car into a wall which gets its electricity from burning coal.

1.  FAL 2.  M14 3.  G3   I have carried and fired all three in their military issued configuration.  Today I own all three in their semi-auto civilian version.    -  The FAL is the best overall battle rifle due to its ergonomics, ease of maintenance, tough reliability and "minute-of-chest" accuracy.  It does everything well. -  The M14 is the most accurate battle rifle due to its great trigger and outstanding sights.  A very good choice for a DMR. -  The G3 will shoot any sorry-ass ammo that you can put in it, it does not care.  Has poor ergonomics for "running the gun" and the most felt recoil.   None of them are worth a SH*T firing full-auto. All of them are heavy to carry as well as the ammo to feed them (one of the reason that the Infantry is a young man's sport).    JMHO....., but based on my real experiences with each weapon.

I see nor can I imagine any "facts" that can justify what the cops did to this woman.   1. You cannot tell how badly someone may be hurt just by looking at them or at the damage. I was in an accident this past April (lady turned left in front of me) that totaled my 2012 Nismo 370Z and the much large car of the woman who turned left in front of me...I walked away with a couple of scratches; she had to be taken by chopper to Vanderbilt where she spent over 3 weeks in the hospital.   3 [2]. Regardless of whether her condition was known or whether she should or shouldn't have been driving is a matter to be dealt with later; at the time of the accident she was an accident VICTIM with potential severe injuries and should have been treated that way.   4. Temperature of the asphalt?  This was New Mexico in July...what do you think the temp was! Hell, forget it was NM...how hot does the asphalt get here! How long can you leave your face planted on the blacktop on a July day...do you think you'll be burnt?  Why would that even mater anyway...there is ZERO reason to put someone face down on asphalt on a July day, in TN or NM.   5. Doesn't matter if she was drunk or not...drunks can be injured in an accident too...sure; the drunk is allegedly a criminal and the other (medical issue) isn't but once the accident happened the person was an accident VICTIM with the potential of severe injuries.   This was just a traffic accident; not the end of a high speed chase or a felony stop...short or a fire in a vehicle or some other imminent danger of death there is simply NO reason to drag a potentially injured person out of a car like that...it's beyond irresponsible and these cops should be disciplined for doing it.  Further, if this is a result of their training or lack of it then the city needs to be disciplined too.

I am in no way supportive of OWS and I agree with the juries decision on the Zimmerman case, but please do not try to confuse or equate OWS actions with Terrorism. In no way are their actions anything close to those of suicide bombers, 9/11, Ted Kaczynski or Timothy McVeigh. The more we loosely use this term, the more power we give the government to abuse this term to attack its own citizens. Just google domestic violence and terrorism and you can see how this term can be misused. Civil unrest should not be confused with terrorism, that becomes a very slippery slope and a double edged sword. All I have to say on that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Thought I'd share, because of this thread I gave a box I had, the same one you had actually Ted, to a coworker; he was complaining to me about how his son couldn't shoot his GSG because of the shortage. I told him that I'd hook his boy up because of the ammo drought, when asked how much, I said not a dime but to pass that same mutual feeling along to someone else if the moment ever presents itself. The guy himself is sorta of a stiff and wouldn't do that for most other people but I can't hold that against his son, if the boy wants to blast away, well I feel a little obligated to assist em.

What this is actually about, is that plans are in the works to force nice areas to accept people that would normally be living in low income areas. I do not believe it is about improving current low income areas.
