Here is the perfect example of how the Wingman system works.   A man brings his best buddy home for dinner unannounced after work at 5:30,   His wife begins screaming at him while his friend just sits and listens.   "My hair & makeup are not done, the house is a mess, the dishes aren't done.   I'm still in my pajamas and I can't be bothered with cooking tonight!   Why the hell did you bring him unannounced to oud home?"   "Because he's thinkig about geting married"

Forcibly removed??? Well, your local school system may not be sending a SWAT team around every morning to collect your children at gunpoint but if you don't send then "voluntarily" (sort of like our "voluntarily federal income tax) I believe criminal charges will soon follow and in fact, you children at that point may well be "forcibly removed" from the home and maybe for good. That sound's pretty "forcible" to me :shrug: and all because the almighty federal government knows what your children need to learn better than YOU do. And what do we get for all the effort and thousands (total expenditures for public elementary and secondary schools in the United States amounted to $638 billion in 2009-10, or about $12,743 per public school student.*) of dollars per student spent every year??? We get High School "graduates" that know nothing of geography, history, literature, art, music, how our government is actually supposed to work, how to do basic math (if they don't have a smart phone handy with a calculator app). We get kids who don't know how to think...who likely have never had an original thought in their head or if they did, had it drummed out of them by a corrupt system that teaches only compliance, political correctness and tolerance (unless of course you happen to be a Christian and/or Caucasian - you can screw with those kids all you want; no worries). You get kids who will likely never pick up a book for the rest of their lives and just read it for the shear enjoyment of it or to actually learn something. You get good little comrades rather than citizens. The children are our future and our future is VERY BLEAK. * source: U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences National Center for Education Statistics

Went to the Chinese buffet and saw a big bearded biker looking guy OCing his piece. Only a few tables away were 4 Clarksville PD officers having lunch. There was no way the staff and other patrons didnt notice the pistol, as it was not only obvious but he was sitting pistol out. I guarantee that the cops saw it. I never saw the cops approach him nor did I see them watching him as they ate their meal and walked around the buffet. Just thought that, with all the cop vs. permit holder crap we see posted here, I'd post a story where it had all the elements but nothing happened because nobody cared.

That's just profoundly sad.  Thank God the child wasn't killed as well.

Quite frankly, I couldnt care if something is "illegal" or not. There are too many damn laws on the books now. If its unsafe I may report to whoever but not unless.

If it's a politician, I don't trust them, I don't care what side they're on. Self servants.

Yeah, but that's still a far cry from "democrats and only democrats..." IMO. As I and I guess many and more see it is you have your choice between condiments but any which way those condiments are still being served up hot on a sh;t sandwich. So which do you prefer, mustard and sh;t, or ketchup/catsup and sh;t?

Like Robert, I don't like the government regulating private businesses. On that same token, if Comcast, AT&T or the power company wants access to run lines/pipes across my property they should have to negotiate with me directly for that access not with the government. If you want special privileges from the government then you have to accept that they come with strings attached.

If this dummy can move to TN, then our next governor can pardon him: http://youtu.be/H10BjdS8tms

I can imagine all sorts of things but the AR really didn't come into it.

I will say that it isn't the Democrats or Republicans or Independents that are the problem. It is incumbents that are the problem. Every single politician is the same when they start out. Their first term in Washington they are all about doing what is right and what is best for the country. Then by the second or third term they turn like zombies. They see all the other representatives making millions with backdoor deals and decide they want to be a part of it so they turn. Then those who were outspoken with public speeches suddenly fall silent and what was once votes for the country turn into votes to fill their own pockets.   When Chris Christie first came into office there were all kinds of people saying he was a concervative's conservative and savior to the Republican party. There were some who were even saying he should run for president. Look at him now, he has become part of the problem not only for the Republican party but for New Jersey and for the country. He has even passed some of the worst gun control laws in the country as of late. Hard for me to believe he is a conservative if he is for gun control as well as Obamacare. He condemned Obamacare but now he endorses it, no doubt because some backdoor deal will make him rich from it.   Ted Cruz, they next savior of the Republican party will fall in line soon as well. He may have already changed because the once ouspoken representative is now quiet. I suspect he is turning into a zombie as well. It will have happened in record time and was definitely one of the biggest reversals in a long time. He should never be allowed to run for president anyways because he has maintained the citizenship of a foreign country well into adulthood. I can understand if you were a dual citizen then denounce as soon as you become an adult but he has felt an allegiance strong enough to a foreign country to maintain that citizenship.   Because of the decades of being abused by encumbents. both Republican or Democrat, I will never vote for an encumbent again. If I have to vote for a liberal to oust a crooked and embedded Republican so be it. I would rather take a chance on someone who will, more than likely, put the country first than someone who has proven to put themselves ahead of the country.

  First of all, you usually can't tell if they're a blonde from a picture. Reminds me of the old joke... What do you get when you turn a blonde upside down? A brunette.   I have tested this theory many times, BTW.

I think I could forgive her....once.

Would you like a list of Republicans who just this week voted to fully fund it?

It is none of my business unless the minor is a threat to me. Don't ask, don't tell.

Depends on the maturity of the minor. Some minors I know are more mature and safer with guns that some grown adults.

I don't give much credit to any of these preppers for tactical intelligence anyway. If I were prepping for some end of the world senerio, my first tactical plan would be to keep all my preps and plans as secret as possible, not advertize them on a national TV show. Anyway, i'm glad this pedophile was on the show if it serves to put him behind bars again.

Sorry Mr. BenGunn but the overwhelming majority of Republicans ARE just as bad as the vast majority of Democrats. In fact, it many ways they are WORSE because they PRETEND to be Constitutional conservatives when they are nothing of the kind...at least with most Democrats you know what you are getting! It's TIME TO DEFUND THE RNC and concentrate on electing PEOPLE that have morals, values, and principles that they won't lose within 12 months of being in office...PEOPLE who believe that the Constitution actually means what it says and says what it means...PEOPLE who will do WHAT IS RIGHT rather than what is politically expedient to get them re-elected...PEOPLE WHO WILL GO HOME after a term or two in office.   In case you missed it, please note that I didn't say one word about those people being part of any particular political party and that was NOT an oversight on my part!

Would also love to see TICS abolished or at least TNHCP holders exempt from it. :up:

Let me let everyone in on a little secret...after nearly 150 years of metallic cartridges and 50 years of the AR platform...there are no more new developments. 

Well I was all set to plug my Craftsman plunge router until I realized why I had not heard of the brands you mentioned. :D Good luck, I'm sure someone here knows what you need. I just use the one AT&T sent me and for what I need (TGO, streaming Netflix) it works great.

If you take them apart I believe you'll see that they are just straight pipe on the bottom that could be cut to shorten and allow for a deeper sink. Those plastic drain pipes are very inexpensive at Home Depot, if you need to buy new ones.

It looks like something they cobbled together after last Friday's staff meeting when they were trying to figure out what to take to Shot Show this week.

Much older than the 60's.  Thye were made between 1926-1943.   FYI, it's .38 S&W caliber, not .38 Special.

I actually had to quit reading them because my guts were hurting from laughter. I might go back and read more later............. :rock: :rock:

Whilst I hope he's either rotting in a cell or catches one between the eyes early on if things do go south, he's probably a good object lesson of why it's a good idea to have a close-knit group than trying to go it alone. There will be gangs of bandits (for that is what they are) like his if stuff does go down and it will be hard to defend as a small unit. Unfotunately, this is an area I'm lacking in myself.

Robert, common carrier status would mean the exact opposite...  A common carrier can't filter service, or they loose safe harbor protections...  I haven't heard about the FCC mandating the blocking of any sex lines...  We'd have greater protections from filtering that we do today.   People lived without water, power, natural gas, telephone...  and society has advanced to the point where those are now treated as utilities because in modern life they are required to function...  Internet is fast approaching that status...  so many functions of business and government have moved online that you're at an extreme disadvantage by not having access...   The VA just announced they want to move disability applications online (and only online) instead of the paper methods they support today...  Other local, state and federal governments are moving the same direction.  A majority of our economy today is impacted by Internet access...  if it was shut down we'd see food shortage, power outages, and medical service disruptions...   If the government is going to give a business exclusive access over a region, and not allow anybody else to compete with them...  then that business should be heavily regulated...  period.  They should be licensed as utilities and prevented from moving into other business avenues which could create a conflict of interest...  or outright limited to only providing the utility in question.   I'm not sure we can get rid of the last mile utilities companies, and they may very well need to be government run, government backed coops, or something similar to how we treat water, natural gas, and power...   The best free market solution probably would be to have companies which exclusively provide last mile connectivity, the would operate as a non-profit similar to say the Harpeth Valley Utilities District...  Customers would buy access over the last mile utility from any ISPs wishing to provide services...  The cost of entry for ISPs would be low, since the infrastructure would be provided (at cost + improvements)...  Most customers would be able to select between 5 or 6 ISPs depending on the packages offered and the restrictions placed on those packages.   In this type of setup you wouldn't need net neutrality since most people would have more than a half dozen options to choose from.   It's not good to give big multinational companies utility monopolies but not regulate their behavior when providing a utility...  Nothing today is stopping Comcast from not only blocking netflix completely, but redirecting the netflix.com address to their own pay-per-view site which costs 10x as much as NetFlix and has a much smaller selection...  The loss in revenue from the few customers who could switch to a different broadband provider would be offset by the drastic increase in pay-per-view sales...  Also nothing stopping them from making a deal with BING to red-riect all traffic to google.com to their search engine...   And we have examples of cable companies doing things like this already...  or worse.  So it's not hypothetical we know given no regulation Comcast will do bad things.      

why is it that Keltec can't seem to figure out how to make nice iron sights on their rifle products?

Well he was one a reality show, for petes sake. You can't expect TOO much in the way of smarts.

ehh, too skinny for me. I like a little meat.

She would have been in big trouble, had he kicked that door in the first time she asked "Who is it"! Should have gone for that pistol as soon as she got home, and had it laying on the couch beside her. I never go near a knock at the door without mine. Just can't trust anyone these days. Sad, but true.   I think I was getting sized up for a victim of "the knockout game" at the Kroger's on Rutherford the other night. He was young...early to mid 20s, I'm ancient...and he probably figured an easy target. After a few maneuvers around the produce section, around 10 PM, he left. May have had something to do with the fact that I never removed my hand from my pocket..and I countered his position every time. He was not shopping for produce...maybe knock out...maybe mugging. It would not have ended well for him.   He was a young black, wearing a hoodie, with a muscular/athletic build. I looked around to see if someone else was filming, but kept him in my peripheral vision. He kept looking around nervously, so it was obvious that he was up to no good. He and I were the only two in the produce section. I kept looking to see if he was lurking outside, as I left. Of course my hand was still in my pocket, and my sidekick had cleared most of the holster...to preclude and hanging or binding on the way out.   As they say, don't mess with old people...they'll just take care of business! Maybe that's the way they get to be old...by being alert, and cautious.

Austin is a liberal enclave because the libs went out of their way to register the 50,000 idiot children at the University of Texas at Austin as dems. Their votes are bought off with bike paths and parks and the developer-influenced City Council runs the city any old way it wants to.

When a man throws a rock into a pack of dogs the one that yelps is usually the one that got hit :stir:  :poop: :poop: :poop:

Then revoke all the giveme's comcast and at&t get from the citizens...  no more free right of ways... force them to negotiate with each property owner to get access to their land...  don't allow exclusive contracts that prevent others from entering the market place.   Robert, if we had a free market I'd agree with you...  you know how much I hate government interference...  but these are government backed monopolies and duopolies...  until you end that and make them pay back the government money they used to lay the cables end the ground, it's not a free market and they should be heavily regulated...   BTW, the FCC will just re-issue the rule making ISP's common carriers, which would treat them the same as telephone companies for the last 100 years, and as common carrier's they can't priorities any customers traffic over others.    

I'm planning to take Emergency Action Medical from Tactical Response and also the course from The Patriot Nurse but I'd be interested in what you are describing as well.   Medical and defensive shotgun are the two areas I've decided to take training in this year!

I hope they put him under the jail.   He is an idiot and honestly things would have probably been a lot better had his body armor failed.

If they don't like how this country was set up go pound sand. If it wasn't for guns then we would still be under rule of the crown or worse.

WTF? How spending some more time cranking out the guns they already make? KSG/PMR30/RFB>This thing IMO.

very nice, i really like the alpha rail! kudos on the pics as well!!!!

You forgot to start your conversation with her with: "Does this rag smell funny". Much easier to get them in the trunk. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Just remember silence is golden, but duct tape is silver... Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Is being stepped on by an elephant better than being kicked in the head by a jackass?

I haven’t seen many on here that don’t support your right to do it. That’s not the same thing as those that think it’s a bad idea or a tactical disadvantage. My experience has shown me that it’s a tactical disadvantage; others experiences may show them something else. Also, do I think most people that open carry are seeking attention? Yes I do, but that’s just my opinion and has nothing to do with the law or rights. I don’t really care if people open carry; although I don’t think that was the intent of not outlawing it. What gets me are the people that cry like babies when they get stopped open carrying. If you are open carrying and someone calls in on you; you will get stopped. Deal with it like an adult. Show your HCP be professional and courteous and be on your way. You live in a state where carrying a gun is a crime.

I'd rather see TICS shut down completely ;)    

Cool. I'd rather see a TICS exemption for HCP holders though.

I think what many are missing here is that the law cited earlier has the word "calculated" in it as in intent to cause alarm. I think the prosecutor will have a hard time proving that part of the law absent of incriminating statements from the individual. They are probably hoping that the cat will plea bargain the charge away.

If they're empty, they're not on standby.

I'd like to see it passed just to have one less useless law on the books. If the state.gov wanted to really be useful, they could spend an entire session not passing any new laws, but going through the TCA and removing all the outdated, stupid, and useless laws on the books. Plus, I'd also like to carry my new CRKT Dragon without worrying about getting hassled. I am licensed by the state to carry a gun, often carry two, and they are worried about a knife with a 4.5" blade.
