I'm flummoxed at the outrage from either side of this debate. The folks who are now up in arms over the response from the gay community, A&E, Cracker barrel , etc., are the very same folks who were all gung-ho about piling on the Dixie Chicks for voicing their opinions about George Bush being a less than stellar Vice President. I think people aren't happy unless they're pissed at someone. 

I've been boycotting Cracker Barrel for years.  Simply, their food sucks.  The candy in their "old-timey store" sucks as well.   It's just one big corporate scam to separate yankee tourists from their money.  There's a reason you only find their locations at interstate exits. 

Thou shalt mind their own damn business.

Phil has a Master Degree in Education and was a teacher. Charlie was expelled from High School for poor grades and attendance. This would be a lopsided debate; but sure would be fun to watch.

I'm impressed with all of you guys. I never would have guessed this would have went 17 pages without being locked and someone getting banned. Hang in there guys! :up:

You're a "southern white radical" who's an active member of a fringe hate group that whose members regularly traffic weapons. I mean have you seen how those people talk about gays? You may truly have nothing to hide, but you have plenty to fear when decisions about your freedom and in some cases your very existence can be targeted by an algorithm or bureaucrat with a particular worldview.

Phil? About MONEY? Wow. My house is as nice as his. He can afford a house nicer than ANY of ours. ANY OF US! Phil cares very little for money. Phil doesn't even have nice guns for crying out loud. A millionaire using a H&R single shot? An old browning a5? The man could easily contract Holland & Holland for a shotgun that cost more than any of our homes and not miss the money. I may be proved wrong, but I believe Phil is one of the few in the world who is a walker, not a talker. The man definitely walks the walk.

Well, after a couple weeks absence from deer hunting due to leg and back issues, I finally made it back out yesterday. I was in my ladder stand and at about 7:30 a Mature Doe came running down the hill in front of me being chased by a very nice Buck. I raised the rifle up to get a shot at the Buck and big mamma slammed on the brakes and started blowing at me. The buck spun around and disapered and a third deer headed for the next county. The doe stood looking at me and blowing. I swung the crosshairs on her neck and fired. She dropped straight to the ground. NICE! So I sat in my stand for about 10 minutes and was tying my rifle to my pull cord, when this other Doe came bee bopping down the side of the hill. It stopped and was staring at the first doe laying on the ground. NITE NITE! Neck shot and DRT!! Both deer required an uphill drag and I was really not up to it. I went up to a neighbors house and got Jason (teen ager who lives there) to help me get them out of the woods. I threw the kid 10 bucks for his troubles (all I had on me). He was grateful and so was I. I wish I would have gotten a picture as he was wearing a pair of Firefighter boots, tee shirt and Sponge Bob jammy pants....kids..... Those were the first deer to come off my property this year. I wished I had a good hunting partner, but I don't. Life is what it is! This mature Doe dressed at 103. Lots of meat there boys! Here is a pic of me with both deer. Smaller deer dressed at 62 pounds. Neck shot DRT Both were taken with 7mm/08 120 grain Fusion soft nose. PS...Santa beard comes off day after Christmas thank goodness!!! Merry Christmas to all! Dave

[quote name="Southern Christian Armed" post="1082141" timestamp="1387615246"] Seems like Christianity is the only religion that's not OK anymore. Im done..................[/quote] No, it's just the religion with the largest and loudest mouth, attempting to force everyone else to live their lives as it sees fit. If Christians want to dictate in a world with a fair amount of non-believers, you have to accept the fact that there is likely going to be some backlash. The more Christians push, the more backlash they will experience.

Here is 10 minutes of slow motion impacts with various bullets and various targets. I have literally watched this video at least 20 times over the years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfDoQwIAaXg

The only Christmas presents I'll get this year will be the two I received from TGO. Both would be considered to be firearms related.

Wow.  From USA Today, no less -   http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2013/12/19/duck-dynasty-bible-religion-palin-robertson-column/4124181/

Interesting question...I look forward to reading others' responses. I couldn't possibly narrow it down to 10, though. Maybe: -good, common 9mm semi/pistol for edc. -ar15 type rifle for home/civil defense -.22 lr of some type for feasting on rodents -12 gauge of some variety for feasting on birds With that, my needs are covered. It's the "everything else" that gets me...

Exactly. The 11th commandment should read: "Thou shalt be excellent to each other".

I believe you mentioned something about getting a different front bead as well.   Not sure if this would be of interest to you.   http://www.truglo.com/pc_product_detail.asp?key=8FFC31C322DF4247B83E9CC3EF5BC48A&catid=CC464CC39D4E4360BF05DD8A38F256EC

I think, like most companies, they'd wish nothing more than to be as far away from this as possible. However, you have fascist organizations on both sides who like to threaten businesses if they don't respond the way they want, so they have to either cave in or be drug into it. This is all so silly. So many sensitive Sallys who want to kick and scream if they don't get their way.

  Or maybe Jesus didn't intend for faith to be as complicated as we humans have made it. Maybe it really is just that simple.    I don't see where Jesus addressed marriage, either. Knowing contextually that many Biblical figured had multiple wives and even concubines, I don't see and clear definitions. This isn't about marriage though. It's about one man who gave his opinion, and one network that didn't care for that. 

  Cracker Barrel has some nerve to pass judgement considering their name.

You have this exactly correct.  What far too many Christians misunderstand is what Christ seems to be referring to in regards to "sin".  You are correct.  Jesus never spoke about homosexuality.  He spoke about sin, forgiveness, and love.  As I read the New Testament, Jesus was referring to sin as any self-indulgent behavior that gets between you, your relationship with God, and your ability to love one another.   What is amazing to me is the fact that the Jewish law contained in the Old Testament that Christians keep referencing as absolute truth is essentially the same legal code utilized by Sharia law that is criticized by Christians as being backward and barbaric.     - Christians believe that Jewish/Mosaic law is divinely inspired and was passed to mankind through Moses: - Muslims believe Sharia law is divinely inspired and passed to mankind through Muhammed. - Mosaic and Sharia law govern virtually all aspects of social life, family life, and individual morality.   - Both call for similar punishments of banishment, stoning, and hanging for violations of that law.   - Both texts prohibit eating "unclean" foods, like pork.  Yes, all you God-fearing people insisting that Old Testament law is absolute are sinning by eating pork.  Need proof?  Here ya go:     Think about that next time you eat a Baconator and joke about how you'll roll your bullets in bacon grease before shooting Muslims. The book of Leviticus also sanctions slavery, requires you to perform animal sacrifices, prohibits eating shellfish, outlaws wearing wool and linen garments, and mandates capital punishment by stoning for adultery of any kind (for women only, of course) and for using the Lord's name in vain.  In response to this, people will say that Jesus' birth, death, and resurrection changed things.  Yet a majority of Christians - at least in my perception - have held onto this one single verse about homosexuality and proclaim it to be absolute and unchanging truth.   Here was my response to someone on Facebook regarding a question that is very similar to this point.  I cite New Testament scripture that specifically talks of two men in one bed and how one would be taken in the rapture while the other would not.  Christ commanded Christians to put away their swords.  Christ commanded us to love one another.  Is comparing someone's private love-life to having sex with animals what Christ would have done?  

  I especially like the bit in the bible where it tells you to decorate trees and put them in your homes and prey to a fat guy in a red suit.

So to the people saying that for Phil this is about money; you're kidding right? This is a man that lived in the woods half his life, still lives in what most would consider a shack, and walks around barefoot on a regular basis. I'm sorry, the man could care less. Just because he has money and lots of it, doesn't mean that money means anything to him, much less that he has a greed for more. It amazes me the absolute bullcrap people will say about someone they know little to nothing about. Did you know Michael Jordan hates parrots? He's a parrot hatin' SOB. Has to be, why else doesn't he have one as a pet? Yes, that's the same line of thinking you're using to say that this is all about money for Phil Robertson. I have a lot of bellybutton lint, hell I may have more than anyone in this thread. It damn sure doesn't mean I love it, or that everything I say is to gather more Come on guys

This thread has me pretty lit up, and unfortunately it's not Phil Robertson or A&E that caused it. I'll point this finger at myself before I point it at anyone else, but I think as affluent American Christians, we need to take a good hard look at ourselves in the mirror before we go judging anyone else for anything. The prophetic voice is hard to hear, and I'm not terribly certain that any of us would particularly like to hear it today. It doesn't make me really comfortable, but as I type this and think about it, the gay person in America today is a heck of a lot more marginalized than I am. And, as I read it, Jesus spent most of his time with the marginalized - much to the consternation of folks like myself.

Windy as heck here in Smyrna, but just drive back from Whites Creek. It was givin'r hell the whole way back! Y'all stay safe and aware!!

So far, so good. After spending some time with it, even the "blade stops" work well for opening. Just requires about a 7:30 position on the stud to be effective (for me, anyway) and provides a much more positive opening, as far as I am concerned. I like it and would recommend it at this point. 

I think what he meant by permanent, is guns that you think you should always have. And everything else is stuff you would like to have or stuff you dont mind trading/selling.   For me I dont know that I could do 10 as must haves. But I could do a few   Some kind of handgun-revolver or autoloader, which ever you like, in a common caliber Shotgun in 12ga or 20ga Autoloading rifle in a common caliber 22lr rifle and pistol, not really a must have for me but could be for others.   My list 9mm autoloader, Glock of course 12ga pump AK, but now getting into ARs I have a 22lr autoloading rifle no pistol, but dont shoot it much.

I was looking along the lines of sights. And another ammo can wouldnt hurt either. If only 5.56 was $200 for a can of 1000 rounds.

That's really the only reason I bought it.

Wow! Matches the tile very well. Congrats!

I watch A&E sometimes. Totally planned. I mean, look. 19 pages on a gun site. Duck merchandise everywhere. Lots of people talking about it. Sometimes bad publicity is the best publicity.

Back when my wife was alive there was a nightlight in every room in the house and I swear she had better ears than the dogs cause she would hear things that would not even make the dogs bark but yet I had to get up and go check the house. I real miss doing that cause I miss her........... :ugh: :ugh: :ugh:

Hope it's not already posted ... http://youtu.be/8pcWlyUu8U4

I make my wife get up.

Somehow the Dims will change it back before the Repubs get a chance to use it.  And yes, the evil Repubs will be blamed for changing it in the first place.

They big doe I hit at the base of the neck just above the shoulders, center as she was facing me. Dropped her and she kicked her legs a time or two and expired very quickly (I'm glad). Neither were breathing for more than a few seconds after hitting the ground.   The smaller of the two, took the round about midway up the neck. Again..."Stop, Drop and Flop". She never really kicked that I recall.   I've never had a deer (or pig for that matter) run after being shot in the neck. Aim and shoot "center mass" of the neck is my experience. The big doe, I had to aim a little lower, because if I aimed center of her neck, there was a slight risk of hitting her in the face. Something I would never want to do.   Dave

Looks like you gonna be eatin good Dave. Nice deer!

Absolutely -   an excerpt from one of our Celebrate Recovery seminars -   Matthew 9:10-13 10 Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. 11 But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum? 12 When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.” 13 Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices. For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”   So, our role is to show Mercy, and Compassion. Note that when Matthew went out, he brought them home. Jesus met them in Church, (which just happened to be at Matthew’s house). Who did Christ seek to socialize with?  “disreputable sinners”! Mathew 9:10   I am so grateful to be invited into Matthew's house.

Congrats Dave! Merry Christmas brother, glad ya got a couple on the ground.

Sorry, cool ads but I never was much of a fan of Chuck Norris, especially after finding out that when Chuck Norris and Superman have sleep overs, they argue over who has the cooler Jack Bauer Pajamas...  :D   Ordinary people have panic attacks. Chuck Norris has Jack Bauer's attacks!   If Jack Bauer were gay, he would be Chuck Norris   Kryptonite is not really from Krypton. It is made from Jack Bauer's crap, that is why it can kill Superman.   Jack Bauer named his cat 'Chuck Norris.' Why? Because he's a pussy.   Chuck Norris told Jack Bauer that he only killed 15 people cause he ran out of bullets. Jack told him he only killed 93 people cause he ran out of people.     Chuck Norris's beard can deflect bullets... Jack Bauer only needs a 5 o'clock shadow.   When Jack Bauer is bored, he goes next door and kick's his neighbor's ass. His neighbor is Chuck Norris.   Chuck Norris can drink an entire gallon of milk in thirty-seven seconds. Jack bauer doesn't drink milk. Milk is for pussies.   Chuck Norris uses the 'Total Gym' to exercise. Jack Bauer uses the 'Total Gym' to torture terrorists.   Chuck Norris is a Texas ranger only because Jack Bauer wont allow him to be a federal agent.     :wave:

Nice!

As always, late to the party. Never had much interest at the prices they were going for, but for $79 I would have been all over one

use code 3rewards for free shipping, i just ordered one, good deal thanks for the heads up!! saved me 14.95

They are all black and should therefore be illegal.

I have thought long about this.  Phil Robertson has no business placing judgement on anyone.  In Christianity I believe only one being makes judgement calls.     I am also sure that if you believe in God that you were created in his image, and that has a lot to do with why only God may pass judgement.   Phil woke up one day on third base and thought he hit a triple.  Just another person out of tune with reality.

OP here.    9:52pm: Post story about Phil from Duck Dynasty   3:22pm the following day:  "1,500 responses?! Let me read a bit of........ My God, what have I done?"

I don't drink diet soda, light beer or anything less filling because it doesn't "taste great"! I man-up and go for the gusto! Let me get the ball rolling and say, "I wish they made a .46" Let the caliber wars begin all over again! Anyone want a cold non diet beer with their popcorn or extra butter / salt?
