Regardless of the high school economics, those who practice their version of "capitalism" by greasing WM employees for intel, buying everything up and then reselling it at 100-300% profit are assholes. 

Best motorcycle route from Memphis to Nashville?  Any way that keeps you from having to go back to Memphis.

There are no shortages of a##holes for sure!!!

This is capitalism. It's the way it works. It's not an unethical practice despite how much it pisses people off.

It seems like they could have just walked into the shelter and asked as opposed to all the production. I mean, they used a helicopter to recon whether or not there was indeed a fawn there. Why not just go to the shelter, tell them what the deal is and take the animal?

I celebration of school starting back, Northridge defense is having a back to school HCP class for teachers. Now through the end of August, all teachers can take the class for the low price of $25. It doesnt get cheaper than that.   http://www.northridgedefense.com/

Most of the threads here talk about what gun, what caliber, what ammo and what knowledge of the law you will need before engaging in a gunfight. But not enough is said about the psychological mechanics and probable circumstances involved in shooting it out against a determined opponent. This article, while written for cops, makes some very interesting points to remember should you ever get into an actual showdown, using Clint Eastwood's 1992 movie, Unforgiven, as the classroom.   http://www.spartancops.com/gunfighting-lessons-unforgiven/   And here's the video clip of the climactic shootout covering the lesson material you'll need for your "final exam."   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTSGUfFh8og

  Move to New York, Illinois, Kalifornia, even Colorado and then preach it. Get you a FOID card, and then tell me how bad these Republicans are. What I'm sayin'... you only THINK you're all pissed off.

They create demand by standing in line and buying the ammo. If you want the price to drop and these people to stop gouging, everyone needs to stop buying ammo for a while and let production outpace demand. It will starve these guys out. But everyone needs to stop.

People standing in line are doing it b/c that is what they have to do to be able to get ammo these days. How are they the problem for doing it and shooting as opposed to someone that catches a box as they're getting groceries in Walmart?

I'm a hypocrite. I tell most people that its a bad idea but I have no qualms about using it. I'm also VERY picky and patient. I'm fine with not taking a shot and going home empty handed. I wait for the perfect shot or take a pass. I use a Barnes bullet and put it either right on the heart or, of the stars are in alignment, I will put it in the head. *gasp!*. I can also shoot a half inch or less at a hundred with my CZ527. Side of the head between the ear and eye and they fall right there. Tis is not to be taken lightly though, too low and you can destroy the jaw and they will run away only to starve to death. It's incumbent on EVERY shooter to be absolutely honest with themselves about their skill and ability. It's also of the utmost importance that if you are going to take an animals life, do it fast and as painless as possible.

I'm sure crime will drop immediately  :down:

FrozenHead state park. They have back country group camping. The have rustic group camping which is vehicle accessible with sites side by side and a creek runs next to each site. http://www.tn.gov/environment/parks/FrozenHead/ Here is a pic of camp site #1. The other seven look the same.

It never fails.

I guess we've entered a new phase, The Chilly War.

Im sure Leonard has no intention of trying to get the dropped any earlier than his court date.  In my opinion he's going to let it go to the court date just to rack up more "damages"

I sure wish this topic had been discussed before

It might make everyone angry but buying for a given price and marking up for a profit is capitalism. If you got a deal on a car and flipped it for a profit, what's the difference? Sure, somebody would be pissed but that's just life. It all boils down to the haves and the have nots. The have nots are always upset with the haves for having something they want. Fair pricing and price control for anything is communism. That's why there are anti-monopoly laws. To keep absolute control out of people's hands. And, as has been stated over and over, there is no law that says you have to buy anything you fell is unreasonably priced.

Nope. Spend 50 bucks and buy a house in Detroit for a bug-out location.

  Yep. You can debate the overall impact of each party over the various aspects of The American Experiment, but one bottom line for the focus of this forum is simple:   Democrats = Anti-Gun Laws   - OS

Ok i see what your saying now and can duplicate it with my rifle.  Just to be sure it only rolls when the rifle isn't charged correct.  When you charge the rifle and dry fire it doesnt roll.  So that's your first indicator that its probably a non issue.    But if im correct what is happening is your practicing rapid trigger pull on a rifle that isnt charged.  When you pull with that trigger finger in a rapid succession your entire hand is moving.  This is caused by a couple of things but the biggest two parts of it is the amount of force your gripping the pistol grip with and how much force your pulling the trigger with.  If i am correct what you are basically doing is using your trigger finger to pull your entire hand slightly forward.  Since your hand (upper part of your palm at the index finger) is being pulled into the pistol grip by your finger it is causing the rifle to roll in the opposite direction.   I would only be concerned if it happens during actual dry fire.   these three things may help you.    First don't apply much pressure at all to the pistol grip.  Your body and non firing hand should be supporting the weight of your weapon.  Your firing hand exists for one purpose.  Pulling the trigger the same way every time.   Second, make sure you are puling the rifle tight into your body.  It makes for a more stable platform and will minimize any movement you may be seeing.  In addition to this it will allow your body to absorb more of the recoil during rapid fire, minimize muzzle climb and all around make follow up shots easier and faster   3rd is to stop your particular method of dry fire practice.  Dry fire is an amazing practice tool when done correctly, but rapid pulling on the trigger of an uncharged weapon isn't giving you any training value.  At most its giving you a finger work out, but it may be training your finger to operate faster than what you can accurately.  It also doesn't allow for releasing the trigger enough for it to reset.    I

  And you saying that my vote for candidate x is a vote for candidate y doesn't make such an illogical argument 'so', either.  Funny thing is, I have had Demuplicans tell me that my vote for a third party is a 'defacto' vote for the Republicrats and Republicrats tell me that my vote for a third party is a 'defacto' vote for the Dempublicans.  Cool - I guess that means by voting third party I am actually voting twice!  Or maybe it just means that worn out, old meme is nonsense.   What many refuse to grasp is that some of us haven't wanted the recent Republican candidates to win any more than we have wanted the recent Democrats to win.  If we accepted the argument that the liberal progressive from Arizona named McCain or the liberal progressive from Massachusetts name Romney would really do a better job than the liberal progressive from Kenya named Obama then the argument might hold water.  However, once you get past the platitudes and campaign lies, some of us truly don't see them as being, functionally, all that different.  So, telling us that we have to vote for Romney/McCain/a mentally deficient aardvark because, 'at least he isn't the Democrat' is akin to telling us we should choose to be eaten alive by sharks because that would be vastly preferable to being eaten alive by piranha.  It is a false choice and, as I see the one as no better than the other, I'll choose to at least try to grab for the life raft, even if there is pretty much no chance of getting aboard.

I don't dispute that at all. The point that I was alluding to is that the only viable 3rd party right now would be a centrist party, but it seems that most centrists are too disengaged in the process to form up something like that. That leaves reforming the left/right from the inside as others have suggested.

  And IMHO that argument is a bunch of hogwash.  I voted and it was not for Obama.  All that 'defacto' mumbo-jumbo is just a line of bull that the BIg Two use to try to keep people 'in line' and voting for one or the other side of the plug nickel.

That goes for any Sig

I like Fall Creek Falls and Montgomery Bell. I do NOT like Cedars of Lebanon. We are going to Cumberland Mountain State Park for Labor Day weekend for the first time.

does the gun have a heavy trigger?  That can cause the shooter to put force on the grip enough to shift.  Normally this is a pistol problem but with a pistol grip, an AR with a heavy trigger could see it.    If you have very strong hands it could be easy to apply more force than necessary, which is really the same issue.    The weight of the rifle should be carried by the forward arm and your shoulder.  the trigger hand should do nothing except pull the trigger.  Try your stance without the trigger hand at all, just holding the rifle steady with foregrip and shoulder.  Then bring your hand to it and focus on a straight pull back without any force on the grip at all.   ***   *** I am assuming here you are going for precise shooting, not combat shooting.   For active shooting, your trigger hand probably WILL hold some of the rifle's weight, its just not easy to be mobile and active without gripping. 

I only report it on here to what ammo we get in.   Tonight was just 12 ga and 20 ga shotgun ammo. Just the dove shot.     The sporting goods area was sure busy tonight. Just sorry to say no ammo other than shotgun ammo to be had.   Those in whatever stores working to make a side profit on this ought to be fired and banned from working retail ever again. Makes the rest of us hard working retail workers look bad.

The last one is my favorite of the three!

  Exactly. one unarmed guy could have sauntered in and checked it out, without the Gestapo tactics. Did they think the folks at the shelter were gonna put up armed resistance? Gimme a break.   I would have fired somebody for it, if for no other reason than spending all the time, manpower and money on it, not to mention unnecessarily endangering life with all the guns around, and the terrible PR.   - OS

Congrats Earl , I hope at a very unexpected price !

I got my dad one of those about 20 years ago for his birthday , he is 87 now and has not shot it. I should have my ass kicked for not taking him . He shot one in the army and wanted one , I think his is a Singer or IBM , I need to take him to shoot it. BAD SON. My dad taught me how to shoot with his army Colt .45 , took me dove and duck hunting as I have done my son. Damn I love dove hunting just like my son , nothing beats it. Depressed 380 , Out.

All 10 prime contractors shared parts as needed so the trigger housing may be original. For example, Underwood produced 1.7 million barrels, of which 400,000 were used by other mfg'ers.   The barrels don't have individual serial numbers.

If you have a SWAT team, you need to justify its existence by using it.

Get cell phone pictures of them. . . . and post them. . . .

Actually, and its funny you brought that up.. But I was considering a raffle, to benefit the "Let the Illegal's stay" rally..

I have no way to judge the truth or falsehood of this piece. However, I am interested in spreading it far and wide so that the administration is forced to deny it. I find it plausible.

nice shotgun. 

I lost two of my Aunts is a single wreck. Hit head on by a DUI, he lived. I believe it was his 2nd. He got probation as it was long ago. This past April I lost a brother in law by a 3x DUI'er also in a wreck, yup he lived too. He plead to agg manslaughter no sentence yet. Killem all.

You are only engaged in a legal activity up to the point you get in the car with your keys in your possession; at that point you are committing a crime. Drink all you want, get as drunk as you like; just don’t drive.

I certainly do! I don't feel it's unjust to punish someone financially for being irresponsible. If you drink in public and don't have a ride or the presence of mind to set that up before hand, then that person should be made to suffer for endangering others lives. Remember the founding principle of this country. You are free to do ANYTHING you want as long as what you're doing does not infringe on the right of someone else to do what they want. Joe Blow getting hammered does not infringe on my life at all. Joe Blow operating a vehicle inebriated DOES effect my right to drive home safely. His lack of personal responsibility is putting me at risk. This is a multi lane highway too folks. You SHOULD be free to carry a gun without restriction. ONE screw up proving your lapse of judgment should resultin the thing being forcefully inserted in your rectum. People REFUSE to take responsibility for their actions and its disgusting. It proves what a country full p-----s we have become. Do what you like should be the first law of the land. Violating another's right to do the same and suffer dire (violent if need be) consequences. Personally I think it boils downto the fact that idiots are allowed to survive. Never before in history were so many morons, lazy, inept what have you; people spoon fed life support to the detriment of the productive.

If you can find a Lee hand primer they are the best. But only if it is the one that is NOT the XR. The original Lee hand primer was great then they decided to "improve" it by adding a step for the primers to climb. It works but it is a lot more finicky than the orginal.   The only drawback to the original Lee is the priming lever breaks easily. Good thing the new XR handle works and works better. Do not belive them when they say they will not interchange because they will.   I have no experience with any other hand priming tools but from people who have used others as well as the Lee prefer the Lee.

Well there's also the additional problem that even if the gov were to come out and factually and truthfully put these issues to bed, who would believe them?

Thoughts? This is a crap load of crap from crap town. I'm pretty tired of all the conspiracy crap already. It's crap like this that distracts people from the real issues this country is facing. Sorry Mike, not trying to be an a$$ and I know that your merely asking opinions. My opinion is this is crap.

I don't know, I'm pretty good at justifying things to myself. 9 times out of 10 I agree with myself completely. ;) Those are some awesome rifles, very nice.
