  1. 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"

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  8. 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?

  9. 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.

  12. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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!

I have a cheap $30 light on there that's not in the pictures til I can afford a good one. Assistant with the before picture: Close ups: Overall finished production:

  34. Yeah, they probably didn't care or just figured he was legit. I know when I used to go on my 30 minute lunch/recess with my cop friends I did everything possible not to find work while trying to enjoy my food and friends. People that open carry do it frequently, as a cop you quickly learn all the open carrying guys and when you go to a MWAG call you don't even bother IDing the guy once you see who it is.

  38. Those gas blocks that use setscrews and dimples at the bottom are the WORST gas blocks to use.   Clamp on are the best because you can adjust them to ensure they are lined up right. Clamps on blocks also apply pressure around the entire circumference while the set screw types only apply pressure at the setscrews and directly across from the setscrews. This leaves a lot of area not being used to hold the gas block in place and depending on the gas block or barrel itself can also lead to gas leaks.   I do have a FSB that I cut down but now I swap the gas blocks to install adjustable gas blocks. I do this because 90% of the AR's, and barrels, hitting the market have oversized gas ports and are over gassed. The manufacturers install a heavy weight buffer to try to mask the symptoms rather than fix the problem which is oversized gas ports.

  41. There was once a guy that lived in a cabin in the mountains.  He drank as much beer as he damned well pleased, had a safe full of guns and a garage full of motorcycles.  One day this fella decided to get on one of those dating websites.  Now he has a wife, lives in the suburbs, and is constantly asked things like "Do you really need that many guns/motorcycles?"  I won't mention any names.

  44. That's actually an ignorant comparison. It's one thing not to shop there on some kind of moral ground but to state that's it's "good and funny" that things were stolen is just ignorant. We've all talked circles around the price gouging thing but no one made you buy goods at an inflated price.
