What else can u say???

Not to hijack your thread but this kind of fits -Dusty-

I think the best I ever saw was a friends neighbor who just taped their range target with the center mass full of holes onto the front door. 

  Just reported, he tested negative.   Ya know, seems the real and present danger here is if Ebola takes hold in Central America/Mexico. All this airline screening is for naught when the infection can just freely walk in like now. And there would likely be a flood as folks flee the disease or come here for the free treatment they know they'd get.   Hell, maybe it would be a good thing overall, might finally be forced to actually close the border, politics be damned, eh?   - OS

I saw one the other day for an attack dog which said, "Door is locked for your protection, not mine." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  Can take some of the fun out of life that way though. :dirty:   - OS

Its a spider, therefore bad. Thats as specific as we need to get.

  This is exactly why I said "they don't".  The ultimate solution for 22lr and other rimfire calibers to become widely available again is to raise the retail pricing to what the market will apparently bear, i.e. around 10-12 cents per round.  When people are no longer able or comfortable paying that price, inventory will build and the price will settle in to whatever folks are willing to pay, keeping in mind that demand was pretty much meeting production before the latest round of craziness ...

I saw Jessie Jackson with one of the guys relatives leaving the hospital.  Maybe there is a possible bright side to this after all......

  Unvaccinated immigrant children that stormed across the border this year?   And you can just ship the Nobel to me, no reason for a ceremony.

I'll show a few. Took my youngest with me, he's 16 but I wasn't letting him hunt that area by himself last year. I'm in a climber in another tree looking back at the permanent ladder. Selfies, geez, I'm almost sorry I posted this one but I do kinda like seeing us both in the stand at daylight. Same hunt a little while later. We both got does. He was down much quicker checking on his deer. I'm still trying to work my way down in the climber. View from another hill. Same hill, looking down Same ladder stand. Small buck walking in and then bedded down behind me. Now you can see why they can just stop and disappear

I have been using the internet since 1992.  I had email before most people knew it existed, or could access it.  (Remember that, back when it was called "e-mail"?)  Before the World Wide Web even existed (I think).     From the beginning, I started reading one of the first gun forums, rec.guns, on Usenet.  I posted occasionally, but not all that much.  Then came, AR15.com, which has become such a behemoth that I rarely check it anymore.   Probably the most I have ever posted on any other gun forum was on 65grendel.com.  But adding up all the posts I have ever made on any and all internet forums in the last 22 years, they would not add up to anywhere near the amount of bandwidth I have used on tngunowners.com.   So, congratulations to TGO for being more worthwhile to me than any other internet resource and thanks to TGO for the same thing.   Sincerely,   Will

Considering that over 1/3 of US homes have firearms, I hardly think knowledge of one existing in a home based on a sign indicating the resident's willingness to use violence would embolden a person to target that house. I would say it is more likely that a person would be deterred by a sign which suggest the occupants are willing to kill intruders. Nothing is 100%, of course. Just like putting a security alarm sign in your yard won't deter 100%, doesn't mean it isn't effective. Of course it is. The whole point of taking active measures to deter crime is to appear a harder target than your neighbors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ahh, after a while you just lose track. I remember hitting 1,000 didn't realize I'm almost to 5,000.

Better a sign that says "I have guns!" than this sign... Wonder which house a criminal might pass by for a better target.

Graycrait has one installed in a Ruger and said it was great. I can only assume the same quality would go into the bodyguard's kit.

Have you not been to it before?  I think the last two years at least BigJ had an all steel stage with a high round count... lots of folks left steel standing on it.  Mystery stage is usually a bugger for me.  Last years SO comment:  man, that was the fastest run we've seen all day... of course you left 3 targets untouched, but man that was fast! :)

A tazer is brilliant!

^ exactly what came to mind when I read jgradyc's post! I'd give body parts for that! Love me some Audis! Wish they'd give us the RS6 wagon. :/ I want an S5 SO bad! Seriously one of the most beautiful cars of the last 15 years.

Threatening to kill cops won’t intimidate anyone; especially cops. All that will do is give the gun grabbing legislators something to point to. And that is not civil disobedience; its criminal homicide. All that leads to is being a dead azz criminal or spending the rest of your life in prison.

I picked up a 500 count box at Cabelas' opening for $24. Can't recall the brand but they were solids not HP, but $24 is a decent price. The 500 hps were just a tad higher, but of course they may be out now. There is no way I will pay extortion prices, I would rather use my 5.56 or .410 for small game before doing that. I may pay an extra $5 or $10 to the guy that stands in line at midnight to get them from Walmart, for his trouble, but not the $65 they try and pass them off for at gunshows.

They're the price of a decent AR-15, which many people on this site have.  Sure, they used to be cheaper, but what didn't? 

I had a Hi-Power Cerakoted at Predator Custom Shop and they did a good job, it was a complete coating and I think I paid $165.    I went to Tactical Advantage Corp. as well to get an estimate and they would have charged a bit more to do a Duracoat on the same pistol but they showed me some of the results of their work and I was very impressed. The finish of duracoat may be better for a revolver. I liked the cerakote better for the hipower.   I have not worked with TAC but shot there a couple times and they seem like good folks. One of my friends is a regular client and speaks highly of them.

The big problem, as has been mentioned by some folks on the TV... this thing could quickly overwhelm the system. You had one sick African, and look at all the resources it took just to track the exposures from him. What if that turns into 50, and they have to track 50 people for each one of them. This could snowball in no time, especially with the Incompetent in Chief driving the bus.

Even though it was a small graduating class the ceremony took some time because of having to chisel names onto the stone tablets.

Both are great at least around my place if you do manage to get by the dogs then you get to meet this old "leather neck" -Dusty-

Just picked this up today at my local pawn shop for $200 :) [URL=http://s82.photobucket.com/user/wayne121170/media/IMG_20141009_102142153_HDR_zpshl7smw4h.jpg.html][/URL]

In it's current form, it doesn't scare me too bad. Viruses mutate, it's just in their nature. Going airborne or something else entirely scares the poop outta me. You can write everything I know about biology on a BB with a wide tip marker, but to think it couldn't happen is a fools game. I've told everyone around here, constant vigilance with regards to what you touch and come into contact with. It's all but impossible to become a shut in xenophobe but wash those hands fellas! Every vehicle, every child's school bag, every woman's purse, etc should have a bottle of hand sanitizer in it and it should be used often. I don't want my paranoid delusions to swan dive into the pool of tin foil hattery but this could easily get very very nasty. It might not be the zombie apocalypse of Glenn Mazzara or George Romero but it could very well be the zombie outbreak of the real world.

  Scariest part of that? You won't know until about 3 weeks whether anybody you holed up with has it or not! :panic:   - OS

  Biggest single club when I was in high school in McMinn County. I graduated same year as Methuselah, btw.   I recKon it waren't no Frenchie that named it QuebecK, though, oui?   - OS

  But but, they always speak so highly of you!  ;)   - OS

I seem to recall that there's a balance. If a virus is too deadly and too easily transmissible, it will quickly become limited and die out quickly. Ebola is pretty deadly, pretty quickly so if it did somehow become truly airborne, it wouldn't be particularly successful and wouldn't wipe out huge amounts of people. The death toll would be quite nasty though and there's no accounting for stupidity (particularly from the government) making things worse.   If you ever had any prepping inclinations, now is the time. Incubation period is typically 8-10 days and death occurs 8-9 days after that (with some wide variations on both). You can go three weeks without food but only a few days without water. You don't want to be rubbing shoulders with people waiting for FEMA to hand out water bottles.

He should have used grease and worked up in steps. Go part of the way to spec then loosen, then go a bit farther and loosen and continue until things line up. I suspect the biggest problem is tightening an anodized dry part onto another dry anodized part.

Directive 10-289.

  Much easier than AIDS though.   Saliva, snot, blood, and semen can transmit it. They just don't count as "airborne" when coughed, sneezed, or puked, onto victim, who can get it from ingesting, touching hands to external mucosa like eyes, too apparently.  Unlike AIDS, almost certainly doesn't have to go only "blood to blood" or "fluids to blood" as it were.   Still harder to catch than the flu, of course, most strains of which really are truly airborne (meaning, aerosol suspension mist of <5 micron particles).   And that's the thing, the CDC has not been forthcoming about what "airborne" really means in the biologic lexicon -- most think that sneezing and coughing, maybe even projectile vomiting is "airborne" because it travels though the air, so that it can't be transmitted that way. Which is almost certainly totally false.   All that said though, all the Ebola strains are poor candidates for any kind of real epidemic except in countries where there are still more folks dying from bad water, malaria, and any number of maladies than Ebola daily in the first place. Hell, a lot of them don't even die from the Ebola directly but from the dehydration/electrolyte depletion associated with the dysentery part of it, something not faced here it you get it either. Same as with cholera, which is almost 100% survivable with simple treatment, but something like 60-70% fatal without it, 'bout same as this strain of Ebola.   Now here, if S ever HTF bad enough for social services and sanitation to fail widely, that's when we'll see all the Biblical disease plagues return, and with a vengeance. That's the part of EOTWAWKI that folks don't consider, and almost certainly the most lethal overall.     - OS

Looks like a wolf spider to me. Got a bunch around my garage. They eat bugs that annoy me more than spiders, so they get a pass.

That's a big part of the problem, there's no longer a stigma attached to being a leech. Have to protect the moocher's "dignity".

  If it were airborne in the true sense of that meaning, West Africa would be virtually empty by now. At the least.   What CDC doesn't explain to general public is that spreading a disease by droplets equal to or larger than 5 micrometers (such as generated by a sneeze at close range) is not technically considered airborne, but rather direct transmission.   - OS

The hairspray is sticky and will add the ultimate hold if you leave it stored with the threaded cap on for about a year. Was in the mountains of PA and the weather changed. Aqua net quit firing. Used everything else available. The smokiest was the graphite spray for garage doors. The smoke Pelion went farther than the potato!

Nice work Sir!

I dont care for 380s and I'm in the same boat as most, holding out for that single stack 9. But after carrying and shooting the 42, i don't think I'll get rid of it. It's a pretty fantastic little piece.

The image that popped into my mind was a '53 Ford.

Most new sedans all look the same.

The express v style setup takes a little while to get used to but for me sight acquisition is faster and it gives me a much more open sight picture. I use a similar set up on my double rifle for those exact reasons.   Now, for precise target shooting, it's not the setup I'd reach for.... but for self defense and close quarters I much prefer it.   Your mileage may vary.

I'm partial to mutts because I get to see the same problems over and over in the same pure breed dogs.  Name any breed and I can give you a list of common problems.  Mutts can still get the same problems because their genes come from other breeds, but they have more genetic diversity, and thus less frequently.   My family has always loved Golden Retrievers, but so many die of cancer too early.

I have been looking for this kind of class for a while. I can tell you that there is a demand for it in the Memphis area.
