What David does on here is nothing but well intended and he does more for this gun community than most of us do here in a lifetime.If anyone  says anything negative about him,. You will hear from me.. and you are not going to like it.. I might even get banned for it.

Fellers (& gals) its a new month, and you know what that means. I don't really care for the gun, but I will take it if I win. You in my friend! http://www.sigsauer.com/Promotions/Sweepstakes.aspx

TN is doing fine now. He posted a video on what happened.      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYdFSaBobhA

my main supplier tells me it cut off from the other end I had 50 cases ordered and the price jumped 20 per cent and tula and wolf primers are very hard to find oh well I am about out of stuff I guess I can go fishing

While there may be some hiccups in the supply chain with the conflict over there going on, keep in mind that those hiccups occur even when there are no problems going on ... it's Russia after all ;), If there is a shortage or price hikes it will be completely American consumer driven, much like the .22 shortage has been.

Each family must decide where the line is drawn and how they will act.    Every member must understand the possible consequences, should it come to that.   At that point, the possible losses resulting from both action and inaction are great.   Pray it will never come to that, but that is how you teach children exactly what responsibility is.  Is it right to teach your children to comply with every whim of authority?  Is it right to teach them to "...Crouch down and lick the hands which feed..." them?   If they will take your guns, next they take your God/personal belief system.  That is a historical fact.    

Sanctions won't involve ammo. I'm calling it right now (praying I'm right :D). This will just be another panic. Even in the worst case scenario, Ukraine and Romania are still producing steel case ammo. They can increase that production if it means more $$$ for them. Bulgaria and Bosnia are producing brass 7.62x39 as well, so you should always be able to get boxer primed, re loadable ammo. Most of the 5.45 and 7.62x54Rmm surplus comes from Ukraine anyway, so how would that be affected? Oh yeah, by everyone starting rumors and buying up every single round of commie ammo they see.   We are our own worst enemies.

    This is a different issue and needs to be a different bill.  Maybe we could focus on that next year.   But for now, lets stick to the bill we have that is making progress and support it fully. 

I think MacGuyver must be working in cahoots with a divorce lawyer.

To not believe in God or religion, it seems to me that those who profess atheism are the very ones keeping the fight for religion in front of the courts.

I think you misunderstand; at least you misunderstand me.   I don't think anyone and I know I'm not saying that our desire for and action regarding constitutional authority should be based on our personal economic situation.  There is, however, an economic reality here and that's all I'm trying to point out.   Before you or I or anyone decides to pledge our lives, our fortunes or our sacred honor on a course of action we (and anyone who depends on us financially such as our spouses and children) had better count that economic cost and be truly sure we are doing the right thing.. 

For sure. Debt just makes unemployment an acute situation. You can cut off cable, you can eat Ramen, in extremis, you can even do without the electricity but if there are people demanding 2-3k (or more) from you every month, that income is essential. If you owe on your car, loss of that will reduce your options for finding new employment drastically.   If you have no debt, that 3-6 month emergency fund is a whole different ballgame.

A friend of mine showed me this method of shucking corn. I've been using it ever since, and it works great.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juE7jmEm0H4

  Damn, this is a new level of bullsh*t even for you....I'm impressed.

The Academy in question has issues. Not that long ago I posted about the sporting goods counter not answering the phone because they were BSing. How do I know? Because I called as I stood there and watched how they acted when my call rang at their counter.

I an tell you authoritatively that if I see any ammo that David makes available to our members so that they and their kids can actually shoot for sale anywhere, we're going to have a big issue!   David and I have had this conversation multiple times.  He makes this ammo available to our members so that kids can continue to learn to shoot.  And, I'd encourage you to think about that a little bit.  If you're hoarding all your ammo and not getting out and shooting - who's teaching your kids to be responsible gun owners?  Shooters can be gone in a generation if we don't support it at home and support the programs like the Boy Scouts that teach kids to shoot.   I have ammo set aside, but I also have a deal with all of my friends - that if they're not going to teach their kids how to handle a firearm, then just ask and I'll be happy to teach them how to safely interact with one.  And, if I use my last round of .22LR doing that - that's okay.

If I went to a gun show and saw .22 ammo for sale with a sign that said 'reserved for <some group of people>' I'd be asking how to become part of that group and thank that vendor for taking care of his supporters.   What happens at these ammo counters in the backs of stores is not the same thing.

  +1,000 There are some that no matter what happens they must have day to day drama to make it through the day. They constantly bitch about anybody and everything just to make themselves feel better. I guess because they are so miserable in their own skin that they must try to make everyone else around them feel the same way.     Integrity in a business is what makes a great business. If you lie, cheat or steal, like CTD and now Academy, to get ahead then you should not be in business. And if you are one of whose who thinks it is OK to lie, steal or just be an underhanded crook to get ahead then you don't deserve anything but a 8x10 cell for the rest of your life.   That brings me to something I have said over and over again. David, DLM37015, has more integrity in his little finger than 99% of the businesses operating these days. He is honest, knowledgeable and does right by his customers 100% of the time. And not only when people are watching but when no one would even know. I have seen him make a problem right even when it wasn't his problem in the first place. And why does he do this?, because he cares about his customers and considers most of them friends. And this sense of feeling welcome by David, as well as being taken care of, is what makes his customers come back. We are all exclusive members of a club called "TGO" so if he wants to pass a deal on to the members here so be it. Plenty of businesses,like Sams and Costco, do it so no one should be condemning David for trying to take care of our community. I promise you will not meet a nicer guy to do business with and he consistently has the best prices anywhere. I have known David for about 8 years now and have never heard or met a customer of his that was unhappy.

Assuming you can draw a picture of it on the back of an appropriately sized check, I'm pretty sure they'll make you anything you want.

I've never really struggled peeling a banana from the stem and i'm not eating an apple core and seeds. I have heard and tried peeling a banana that way, it doesn't always work that good. Maybe monkeys have been doing it wrong for a million years and it took us humans to do it right. :)

In his defense, perhaps she wasn't a cow when they started dating.

Stoked, Christmas in March ! Seen Jeff Quinn had one for his 480 Alaskan, was only right to have one for my 454. So I emailed Bob Mernickle out in Nevada. Less than 24 hours he mails me back with info. I call and Bobs wife answers, transfers me to Bob. Order is placed. 4-6 week turn around but it was closer to 4. Great service and product. All I can say wow, this thing is bad ass. Happy, happy happy.

Ankle holsters, like shoulder holsters,  always seem like a good idea, but few stay with them.   - OS

Nice!  Love the paw print.

This whole thing kills me because her brother seen some dude drag her off to the woodline. He did nothing to stop it and he was 16-17 at the time (gun, stick, ballbat ect) but call 911. I think he is just as guilty and may be involved in some way. I promise you this..as a teen ager if I seen someone drag my sister to the woods, I would have done everything I could (terminal hematoma here) to intervene or stop it. 911 would be called after the fact. But to stand around like a little pus**, and let that happen to his sister speaks volumes for his manhood! A similar thing happened to my Daughter in Laws little cousin. Jackie Beard was picking blackberries in her yard when a jerk, who's name I refuse to say, abducted her, raped her and killed her. That piece of s*** is in prison smiling with his bunk mate and could care less about it. These crimes are not punished harsh enough nor fast enough...it's sickening.   Rant off...   Good night Brother TGO'rs   Dave

  First new pic I've had in 16 years.HCP or DL either one. My latest renewal is the new style with the strip-UPC-code thing on the back of the card. That was the reason they gave me for the new pic.. Should have asked if it was ok to wear my berka and see what they said ,lmfao.

I think it's a very valid option, and the one most likely to keep you alive the longest.  You'd have a 33+% chance of getting away with it...  my guess the chances you'd survive an armed stand off with the police are very low...  sub 10%.   I've said it before, I'm half surprised legislators who voted for this law haven't ended up swing for a lamp post already.  I'd say it's unlikely that legislators here in TN would fair as well if they passed a law outlawing firearms and then had public servants go around talking about door to door confiscation on the local airwaves.   Fact is we only have a very small police force here in TN, somewhere around 15,000 post certified officers for 6.5 million people.  And after the first attack on a legislator my guess is the vast majority of those officers will be guarding said politicians who support gun control.  

Exactly.

Just because submission is your choice, doesn't make it any less of a choice or any less yours. 

After the disappearance of Janet March, I moved Perry March to Chicago. I took two truckloads of household goods for him. I could never say whether or not he had anything to do with Janet's disappearance for sure, but I left convinced his ubber-narcissistic butt was as guilty as guilty can be.

Dustbuster, I really doubt the 24th district is proceeding recklessly on this case. It has touched many hearts and received lots of national attention. Hansel McCadams (24th District Attorney General) is not scandal free during his tenure, and I'm sure he would like to get reelected this August. He's smart enough to know that putting a "patsy" on trial for the highest profile abduction case in Tennessee is not a good way to keep his job. How exactly could the charges have been anymore detailed? Especially aggravated kidnapping and first degree murder - do you know of a way to elaborate on those? I don't think the TBI is going to provide public discovery of the evidence before the accused has even been arraigned. It's not the role of the TBI in the first place. What evidence is released to the media at this point is up to the DA. Also from what I understand the accused was not Holly Bobo's neighbor. He lived 14 miles away with his grandfather. Let's take off the tinfoil hats and pray for justice and the Bobo family here. I have a feeling they've got their guy.

No we don’t; their ammo is junk and so are their guns. Claiming stuff is good just because it is cheap is what got us in this mess. I may have to buy foreign made TV’s and computers, but I sure don’t have to buy foreign made guns or ammo.

Nope.  From there to the Finance, Ways and Means Committee and then it should go to the Calendar Committee for a full house vote. 

I think TGO is safer than Facebook.   People who are firearm enthusiasts tend to be pretty decent people.   People who spend significant time here (on TGO) tend to be "real" firearm enthusiasts   TGO is administered by good people (and the rif-raff tend to get weeded out).   People who have spent significant time here and become benefactors (necessary to be able to sell here) make it even more likely that they are actually firearm enthusiasts. They also will likely accumulate an IT Trader "rating" of either being good people to deal with or not good people to deal with.   No one is saying that dealing with someone from TGO is a guarantee of anything but it's a hell of a lot more to go on than someplace like Facebook where someone could have joined 10 minutes before posting their "gun" for sale and with no mechanism to indicate if they might be a good person to deal with.

I'm a bit surprised that anyone would use Facebook to sell or buy a firearm...equally surprised that a company like Facebook wouldn't just delete such posts automatically.  :shrug: 

David wouldn't bull*hit anyone about it. Won't sell it to me? Fine, just don't go around pissing down my neck telling me its raining.

Live by the sword, die by the sword....this is the stupidest argument people can try to leverage against another. If I carry a gun, I could get shot? If I DON'T carry a gun I could get shot. Times have changed, this scripture has been misinterpreted and living a peaceful life ain't as easy as it used to be.

OMG this site is going to break me ! I'm in for one ...... :yum:

Yes, but ONLY if you stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night. It is in the fine print...

There was a guy at the gun store practicing his draw and shoot from the hip western style today with a .40 he was considering.  Makes you really nervous seeing that.

I'd post it on Armslist...but then I can be an ass-hole.  

Hey, I can't seem to find reasonably priced 22lr ammo so I'm just going to start hoarding cookies. I may mark them up to $50 a box and put them on gunbroker as "rare match grade"

I used that once in college, but I was drunk and she was cute.

Ok. Just ate an apple the way it was shown. If you start from the bottom as shown and then eat your way up, you can eat the entire thing and it isn't weird. The "core" gets "mixed" in with the "meat" of the apple and it is in no way weird. The whole thing was easily edible and as a bonus the seeds are probably really good for you anyway.   Off to look for a banana!

I have just created TDRCoins. The first batch of one-million coins are worth .50 each. They will undoubtedly be worth 1000% more within no time, so you better act now. The TDRCoin is 100% untraceable, so you can confidently buy and sell using your TDRCoins without the .gov knowing your business.  In order to unlock more TDRCoins, I will post my daughter's Algebra homework online for all to solve. The first person to respond with the correct answers will receive an undetermined number of TDRCoins.  To purchase your TDRCoins today, PM me for my PayPal information.

You're right. 99% of police in this country are comprising their morals by violating their oath and enforcing unconstitutional laws. I don't see why you're all picking on this guy. By the logic exhibited here you should be cursing every LEO you see, because at some point he likely enforced a law which could be interpreted as unconstitutional in regard to 2nd Amendment rights.

Being a hunter who has hunted elk years back, and have had moose cross my path, this was just wrong. First, it was a young male, no antlers, and really couldn't of done much as long as the guy remained on his snowmobile. Maybe he wasn't aware or maybe he just was a dumbass, but causing all that ruckus drew that moose towards him. Moose hunters use grunt sounds to ATTRACT male moose during hunt season. If you look at all the snow, the moose was most likely using the snowmobile trail to browse on some vegetation that was probably uncovered from all the snowmobiles traveling that trail.   Bottom line IMO, a dick with a gun, with a video camera rolling, looking to play badass on YouTube. I would've erased that video from embarassment had I done something that stupid. The guy's obviously a hothead, wonder if that Glock would of also come out if some teenagers ambushed him with snowballs?
