I thought you guys would enjoy this. Here is a picture of the 2nd Amendment Foundation proudly displaying the check they had cut from the City of Chicago as a result of being awarded legal fees ($399,950 to be exact) they incurred to successfully fight and win the McDonald v. Chicago case in 2010. They posted it on their Twitter feed to kick off their public relations campaign in support of their new lawsuit against Illinois regarding restrictions in there nascent CCW law. Here's hoping they bring home another win, and another big fat check!

One of my grandsons is getting an average of 50 to 60 hours a week now and has been for about a month. He asked one of his supervisors if they knew how long the overtime was gonna last and all the guy could say was he had no idea. My grandson called me gripping and bitching about all the overtime and how he had no time on weekends to do anything but rest up on Sunday for the next week. I told him, " Do you remember 4 years ago when you were working for all those Temp Services and barely scraping by and worried all the time about being able to pay your bills. I do because it was me loaning you a few bucks here and there to get you through the week. I finally had a friend of mine get you that job you have now and you have gotten three raises, a newer car, checking account and savings account and your own place by listening to ole Grandpaw. Now listen one more time to him. Shut up, quit your bitching and enjoy all the overtime you can get because over time was always a blessing to me and you will have plenty of time to spend the money when the overtime ends." He said , "That is why I always call you instead of Mom and Tommy Grandpaw." They agree with me all the time and you give me pep talks."............................... :rofl:  :rofl:  

I carry a Glock 26 condition 1 in a Bianchi Carrylok holster. The gun does not come out of the holster unless I’m cleaning it.   My two and a half year old impressed me a while back - when my 16 year old asked him what that was on my belt, he replied sternly "That’s a gun.  It is not a toy.  Don't touch it."  It’s obviously never too early to teach kids about guns.

Hang the motherfucker.  Start doing this any time it happens, and send a loud message.

Well I finished this monster... 1/4" thick 1095 carbon steel heat treated to RC60. The blade is 10" long with an overall length of about 16 1/4". It's got olive green canvas micarta scales with light grey G10 liners. I has jimping on the spine forward of the handle and the scales are mechanically fastened as well as epoxied. It weighs nearly 2 1/2 pounds. :lol:

After some input in another thread, I did a few things to my old bow and decided to get out and try a little turkey hunting this morning. My buddies farm has turkey's everywhere most of the time so with a little patience, you can almost always expect to get a shot. Just sat in a small popup blind and put out a decoy. Saw 4 come down from roost and another 15 walk from a lower field about 70 yards away. It was kind of neat to watch some of the 15 fly up in the trees and walk around. The shot below is from my Iphone through my binoculars. A bit hard to see, but pretty cool. A group of 4 came back around and I was able to get a shot at 11-12yds out, so another successful day. Not a huge one, but should be good eating. Now to brine overnight and get the smoker ready. Now on to looking for the big boy deer!

Just excellent.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOwy9OWfnAM&feature=youtu.be

This knife has black G10 scales with grey liners and has those "cracks" etched into the steel. It came out pretty darn good. It was double etched with ferric chloride then sanded with 1200 grit paper to obtain that silver-grey color on the blade. I don't know if you can tell by the picture but the scales have green highlights in the grinds. It has jimping on the spine and is made from 5/32" carbon steel and professionally heat treated to a 59-60RC.

The madness has begun.   Just gonna leave this stuff here.......   http://www.magpul.com/   http://www.jprifles.com/   Forearms   Parts   Just for some literature...there are cheaper sites to get parts... :leaving:    

Awesome....

Never underestimate the incompetence of our government. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bike.... Ya may have missed the point; and i'll confess to not makin it too clear... The point is that three things contribute to incapacitating animals (...yes, and hoodlums...)... Bulllet placement, wound channel width, and penetration; ergo the "white hunter" point...   The "white hunters" needed for the great creatures they hunted, often at close range, to be incapacitated quickly... That was accomplished by a quick loss of blood, hitting of a vital organ (... heart...) and penetrating deeply to make the wound channel and blood loss very quick... The sad truth is that it's the same way with humans... God forbid than any of us would have to stop a hoodlum from hurting us or someone in our care....      Forgive us old grumps for being incredulous at the "under-penetration" thing; but it's true...   I happen to be in the camp that believes that there is plenty of snake oil baloney out there conjured up by the ammo folks to sell "premium self defense" rounds... Hollow point rounds have been around a long time, you could even buy them when i started reloading in the seventies; and, yes, they were available for both pistol and rifle calibers... The fact is that there is nothin new under the sun; but lots of folks seem to be enamoured by these "advanced" bullets... As others have opined, the Glasser slug has been the only real breakthru in self-defense ammo...   The "new, improved hollowpoints are simply old wine in new bottles... The problem with hollow points is that they can mushroom too quickly and do the "flesh wound" thing... Ya simply cannot deliver "flesh wounds" and efficiently stop whatever varmint ya are shootin at; be it four legged or two legged...    Michael Brown was shot 7 times if i remember right... He ran away from a cruiser, turned around, and almost made it back to the cruiser before he fell...   I'm willin to bet that he was shot with 40 caliber "magic bullet" hollowpoints...      By the way, "all situations ain't different"... Sadly, they are all the same --- you are tryin to stop the threat...  That may mean quickly stopping folks that may be high on dope or just plain mean is serious business... At the end of the day, that's what this is all about... Here's hopin that no one has to face that terrible task....    Forgive us for being insensitive... We were, however, trying to be truthful...   leroy

Haha! The way some of you folks talk about Antioch, I can't imagine what would happen if you were dropped in Compton, Liberty City, the Bronx, Detroit, south Boston, or some Chicago sewer. :-D

What a cluster....   They almost qualify to run a banana republic.   http://www.nashvillescene.com/nashville/high-profile-exits-leave-the-tennessean-even-thinner-staffed-than-planned/Content?oid=4749595

We will be holding our Outlaw Steel Match on Sunday the 26th. I don't have the stages finalized just yet but it will be fun.

I have been wanting one of these for several years, I was lucky enough to be working with a Guy who's brother has around 30 Les Paul customs and needed some fast cash for an ugly divorce, so I got a fantastic deal on this that I just could not pass on, It is still at his home in Spain but when I figure the best way for him to ship it to me, it will be in my home, I may just get a glass case made for it and hang it on a wall (or learn to play it)

He tweeted the f word a lot.

I knew I had married a great woman, but it was a couple of months ago that I almost cried. My wife and I were discussing current events when she turned to me and said, "Honey, we need more guns.". I could not agree with her more, so I decided to put together another AR. It's a bit of a budget build, because, well, I'm on a budget. -Spike's stripped lower -PSA lower build kit with HBE trigger enhancement -Magpul ACS-L stock and grip in FDE with a FDE mag to boot -Stripped blem upper -PSA BCG, charging handle, forward assist, and ejection port cover -MI Gen 2 12" rail -16" middy 1:8 twist 223 Wylde -Cheap UTG tacticool scope [url=http://s1207.photobucket.com/user/72-oj/media/AR_zpse98c08e5.jpg.html][/URL]

Classic arms for barrels starting at $75. I have two, they're fine so far. AIM surplus for BCG. You can get a nitride or Nib for cheap. Just get a standard one and even cheaper. Again, I have two, they're fine. Brownels for upper parts; dust cover, forward assist. PSA for pretty much all the rest.

I too started off with nylon. Never turned back!

Saw a guy oc'ing a small (26/27) Glock in an ol' floppy ass nylon holster at walmart. I sure hope it wasn't chambered. Even with pistols with a manual saftey I hate nylons. My very first holster was a nylon but after I "jumped into" the gun world I quickly saw the light.

  Yep. I have some USGI mags, but never use them. Pretty much all PMAGs, and Lancers for the calibers that PMAGS don't like. I will use GI mags in my A2, because it's all milspec.   Cracker will come around. He's just a little slow since he got blown up.  :rofl:

Minority, freshmen football player evidently upset over a break up with long time girlfriend. Two dead, shooter and his target, and two others injured. Witnesses said he walked up and shot his best friend with a HANDGUN then, as people scattered, he shot at others then shot himself. BTW, he is native American.   It will be interesting how quickly the story will change and the shooter will have an assault weapon.   BTW, left is calling for gun control measures. Stated anyone who has a gun around children should be charged for child abuse and thrown in jail.

I did a Rehab on a house a couple years ago.  Was planning to turn it in to a rental, then ended up selling it.   Here's a breakdown of what worked with pictures and descriptions :)  Hope this helps :)   http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/67/topics/78889-smoker-rehab-keys-to-success-with-tobacco-smoke--before-after-pics?page=1

Try the same recipe and add an egg.

Knowing Franklin Gouge Shop, yes, there will be a cover charge. Autographs will be free but photos will cost you and there will be an administrative ink fee for the sharpies.

There's really not a better solution than Kilz.  You can try other stuff, but you'll wind up coming back to painting surfaces with Kilz.

Adding a VFG to a "pistol" that is OVER 26" overall length turns it into a "firearm".   Adding a VFG to a "pistol" UNDER 26" overall length turns it into a "Any Other Weapon" and must be registered with the ATF before adding the VFG.     ETA: Hiding that "firearm" on your person becomes an "Any Other Weapon" and must be registered with the ATF.

Yea, not sure either.  But notice the people down range while the laser?? is still "moving"?  Either that laser is the slowest in the world or that guy is the fastest. 

I have a funny feeling that the airlines are behind it being opposed it for financial reasons.  Too many decisions of government are based on someone making or loosing money for it to be discounted.

There is probably more than a little satisfaction in seeing Rahm's signature on that check.

Just go to a store and buy one.  By the time you pay $20-$30 to transfer it and $17 to ship it, you are probably not going to save any money on a $200 gun.  I am a big proponent of online buying, but for little to no difference, I would just buy it near you somewhere.    

The match needs to hurry up and get here.....these toys are tempting when I'm bored!

The first handgun I ever shot was my father's Glock when I was around 10 years old. So, I do have a slight childhood draw to the Glocks for nostalgic reasons, but I handled the M&P in a store the other day and I was dumbfounded at how comfortable it was. But, the Gen 4 Glocks have the interchangeable back straps too. Guys, I think I'm going through an mid-20s post-divorce life crisis. :lol: Amazing what not being married can do for your bank account.

Said before...Always a round chambered. And with my striker fired pistols, I'm really not a fan of external safetys. If I can't control myself and my finger...I don't need to carry. JMO

Sounds like it has a crimp. If you chamfer the primer pocket it will work fine.

I seem to remember back in my Army Daze, having a "25 yard battle sight zero". I'll zero it at 50 and be happy with it. I'll do some varmint hunting with it and keep it around for defensive purposes. Thanks for the info OS!   Dave

I have a slightly different perspective on Antioch than some, I guess. I wouldn't want to move there now as compared to where I currently live. However, I grew up in N Miami, Fl and spent a lot of time in REALLY bad areas. I also lived on campus at Trevecca from 2001-2005 near Naiper, etc in s Nashville. If I couldn't live where I do, I don't think Antioch is worse than where I came from in Miami (3 separate kills on my street, 5 dead total while I was there) nor do I feel most of Antioch is as seedy as the area just northwest of Trevecca's campus on Murfreesboro Rd. It seems to me a middle ground, a step in the stairwell leading from the ghetto. It makes complete sense that some folks can't wait to get out to somewherez nicer, and others can't wait to move in, coming from what may be a turrble (read that in Charles Barkley's voice in your head) place.

News quote::::   Fitzpatrick was arrested in May of 2013 by Columbia police for the aggravated robbery of a Cash Express store. According to Maury County Juvenile Court records, Fitzpatrick was found guilty of that charge.   If this little fat SOB was found guilty of Felony Armed Robbery in 2013  why is he not in PRISON.......... :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

I'm at the point where I don't care how old they are. If you commit a crime like this, your behind deserves to get nuked.

I've seen pics of people being buried on their bike. As for my bucket list... don't really have one. If I did, this might be on it... :)

Sounds like you visited The Outpost Armory.

If you could just get it to play "Dixie" when a mag is inserted.

Be very careful using them in a revolver, some do not make it out if the barrel, this is the voice of experience.

Works well with my registered fa sear pack. http://vid422.photobucket.com/albums/pp302/skasakevics/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-09/CA490C20-1ADB-4B63-A1F7-6B7E33D62203_zpsiag35k9m.mp4

I don't harbor any ill-will against people who use Crossbows when they are legal.   BUT I was behind some one the other day in line that was buying one. Salesman was showing him the lighted scope etc....   I don't think they should be legal except with a medical/disabled exemption like many states did in the past. It's a rifle that shoots short arrows.   But then again...I am hunting with a Longbow :)

Because the Republican leadership who begged gun owners to help them gain control in the state government, claiming they are 'on our side,' aren't really 'on our side' any more than are their Democrat counterparts.  Haslam was a member of Bloomberg's "Mayors Against Guns" group (oops, that's supposed to be Mayors Against Illegal Guns.  Yeah, right.)  Harwell seems have done everything she can to see that many pro gun bills don't even come to a vote and Ramsey got the so-called 'parking lot bill' gutted at the behest of his big business puppet masters (such as Fed Ex.)  Quite the track record for people who claimed to be 'on our side' and whined that if we would just put them in charge they would support and advance our gun rights.   I think that the money probably did have at least a little to do with it, too.  It isn't like politicians have to choose between 'being greedy' and 'backstabbing the voters'.  They can simultaneously do both quite efficiently.  

At almost twice the price of this lower, sure I like mega too.

LOL, why blame the gun when you can blame the wife!!!
