I couldn't think of a more deserving person to have a ship named after them... Sent from the future using my time machine made out of a Pontiac Fiero

Just save up a few more shekels and get a new $500-600 AR or AK and be done with that part sooner rather than later. Seriously.   - OS

I saw thIs and thought it was hilarious. Hope it hasn't already been posted. Cats... lol http://youtu.be/5sy1MDHZ27M

There's never been a better single action 9mm than the Hi-Power.  A serviceable weapon for carry, and fun at the range all rolled into one.   I'd start there.

That's funny right there

I really like the Jonathan Winters/Robin Williams segments....two true comedy giants....

Oak Hill has an additional requirement. You have to get a signed note from the Lord himself to have any hope of getting anything done.

I don't really have one I can recommend, but I'm happy we're talking about turkey season!! Congrats on the M2

They need to make 10 rounders!!!

Guys be very careful calling this number from a business phone.  That's how I lost my mall security job. 

Unfortunately, as Americans we're going to have to go through some dark times before we get an internet that's truly open.   Enfield's right.  The first impact most Americans will notice will be the new fees that suddenly appear on their bill.  You're about to be paying for all kinds of stuff.

You'll all love a government-regulated internet. You'll be lucky to have dsl, but you'll pay for premium service. The gov couldn't run a cathouse and make money.

Lol, I know a lot of guys hate them...but they don't know what they are missing.  The drama.  The stubborness.  They really are brats.  For some reason, that makes them lovable.

And papaw needs a break lol

Exactly. I like to think I know a bit about guns but there are guys here that have forgotten more about guns than I'll ever know. Just listen and read and you will probably learn something.

Hey, it's The Doctor! :D

Everyone should own an AR imo, and there's never been a better time price wise to get into one. You mentioned "home defense if possible", I'm not seeing any options other than the Hipoint carbine mentioned that would double in that role. Trust me when I say you could do much worse than a hipoint carbine.

Unless you stay with .22lr, or take up reloading and casting, a round costing $10/100 will prove impossible to find ...

Walmart sells REAL Savage bolt guns, not the Edge or Axis, for under $400 with a scope and Accutrigger. And they tend to be the most accurate rifles out of the box anymore, especially for the price. If you have some time check your local Walmart because they routinely put them on sale and you can get them for under $350.   Savages are like the 10/22 of the centerfire world. You can swap calibers at home without the need of a gunsmith. Used barrels can be bought for $50-$100 depending on what it is and new barrels can be had for $150-$200 for factory and $300 for drop in match barrels. To do a caliber swap on a Remington it will cost you $300+ in labor alone not including the barrel. Swapping barrels on a Savage takes 20 minutes while a Remington requires weeks at a smith.

It may be classy but it is an abaolute piece of crap for the role it's being used in. Despite what it may seem like on the surface, 357 ain't exactly easy to find compard to 9,40&45 It's heavy, GODAWFUL loud and pathetically slow to reload. AND, this stomps a lot of toes out there but revolvers can and do malfunction.....only when they malfunction, you can't just clear it and rock on. In a Walking Dead world, revolvers suck, about half the 1911's suck, all your oddball pistols suck, there's very little REAL choice. A solid reliable PROVEN automatic in one of the 3 dominant calibers by one of big boys in the industry. Glock, M&P, XD this is not a time to try to express your individuality. It's classy and elegant and out of my price range but if I was given one like Rick's, I'd trade it for a pair of Glocks.

You know if Colt was smart they would make a reproduction of the Python and sale it around 600 to 800 dollars and they would make a killing. Like what Smith and Wesson did with the Model 29 a few years ago.

Made this the other day. It has links to each state that has reciprocity with TN.

Mrparacord.com And if you're not too picky about color, they often have clearance sales with some 100ft options for under $5ea. Reasonable/often free shipping, and every month or two I get an email with a 5 to 20% off coupon good for that day or weekend. Whenever I get one of those emails, I peruse the site. About half the time I end up buying $25-40 of stuff and getting a box full of paracord. I figure it never hurts to have plenty on hand! Both my cars have some in the trunk, and another loop in each go-bag.

Every handgun collection needs a glock.

I wouldn't give up any property. If he's moving, then I guess you don't have to worry about neighborly relations. I'd have the surveyor mark it as Raoul said, and then form a plan to move the fence to the correct side of the tree. What kind of fence... wood, chain link? I'd take care of it with this owner so you don't have issues with new neighbors

Chances are the ammo just sucks.   With my S&W there is no noticeable difference in accuracy between 38 and 357.

  That's for the Net Neutrality debate, which I agree is going to come down to best of the worst options..  This is about variety in the amount of ISP's, some of whom have what I like to call inkblot monopolies by region.  The development of local ISP's, like the one in Chattanooga, is a good thing to me.  This ruling will only make sure state laws can't shut them down for no reason other than the ISP lobby is willing to pay for it.

They seem to fluctuate depending on caliber and availability at Bud's. A check today shows the 9mm out of stock, and the other calibers between $567 and $592. A shop in Smyrna does my transfers for $15+$10 TICS... gets me within a box of ammo to $600 ;-) 'Course, sounds like I'm the only Witness Elite fan, so I'll politely retreat to the weirdo cave where I normally stay. :-D

For an M2? Benelli Crio Plus Extended Turkey Choke Tubes. By far the best turkey choke I've tried. I use it on my M2 (tactical set up) and it reliably out patterns longer barreled guns every time.

Yeah my wife still isnt convinced enough to ride lol. I love being on a bike as much as possible. I wish it was a softtail, don't make that kinda money yet though. Id actually prefer either a Fat Bob or a street glide for my next one.

  Quite amusing as although they were not screaming queens, they did seem a little stereotypically light in the loafers.

Got about 7" in north Bradley county. We built giant snow zombies :) that's an 8-footer on the right Freaked out the hound dog, lol

Looks like NJ came to their senses and dropped the charges.   http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/02/26/nj-prosecutor-drops-gun-charge-against-retired-teacher-over-centuries-old/?intcmp=latestnews

Can y'all not read the snide, tongue in cheek attitude OBVIOUS in the main page?? LMBO. This guy is hilarious! Great joke!!

Well excuuusssee mmmeeee!!!!!!!!   :rofl:  :rofl: :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:     Steve Martin has always been a favorite comic of mine....much more so when me morphed into movies. All of Me and Parenthood are some of the best. It is interesting to see how his career has mellowed into semi serious roles like The Big Year. That man can rip on a banjo too!

Looks like 5-6 inches of fresh 'White Death' out there on my deck. Think I'll have another cup of coffee.

These just went down another $50 to $419 on sale, still free shipping. I just got my tax refund and couldn't resist, got a few on the way. Thanks for sharing.

Nobody was in bed at 10 o'clock Other than people that didn't show up.....

Had surgery at noon today. I'm in very little pain but having a hard time staying awake. The ER nurse said she's put on more splints in the last two weeks than in the last six months. Thanks for all the "get wells." Like most, I should have broken bones while doing stupid stuff not just walking down the road.

Yeah, you people need to stop burning fossil fuels because global warming caused the polar vortex and is to blame for the extreme weather and cold. Climate Change is upon us!  :panic:                                         Seriously, I googled and some news outlets are passing off global warming as the cause of the cold, snow and ice we're having. :rofl:

You wild and crazy guy!  :jester:

No offense but you don't sound like you have a ton of experience? The mosin is an excellent rifle for its price, but it shoots a fairly punishing round and it weighs a ton.  If you *want* a stout recoil bench gun, its a good pick.    sks is the fore-runner of the AK and is an excellent semi-auto defense type rifle.    These two guns are polar opposites in every way...  one is a big heavy cannon that can shoot stuff half a mile away and the other a light semi auto that shoots a relatively weak short range round.    lets take money out of the equation.  You can find cheap in just about any platform short of competition guns.   So what exactly do you want to DO with it?  How much recoil do you want (roughly), how much range, how much are you willing to pay for the AMMO (big guns cost over a buck a shot if you buy it)?

I can't remember where I saw this but it pretty well sums it up in a lot of folks minds.     "Radical Muslims want to kill you..........moderate Muslims want the Radical Muslims to kill you"

  Much respect to a man who obviously has his priorities in order.  :up:

Not anti-gravity. See, gravity is still working. It's the Australian model.

Where can I get me one of these anti-gravity vehicles?!

  A very good reason NOT to support Christie in the primaries should he throw his hat in the ring.

I bought a 6" king cobra in 1989 for $369 plus tax from sports unlimited in Orlando Florida. They had a used python for sale at $750.

I think most everyone in Knoxville gets their reloading supplies from either the internet or David at the gun shows.  No really a good place around here to find reloading supplies.

  I doubt you'll find any love for Comcast, or any of the other cable empires anywhere, certainly none from me.  For your business, Google fiber can be a benefit for you.  But for the average home, the only difference will be the cost, and even that will creep up sooner or later.    I really think the biggest reason Google is doing this is to have full time access to learn people's internet usage.  The profits from monthly service are a nice bonus, but having the ability to pull data and analyze entire cities worth of web traffic will take their advertising sales into a new age.  I'm not naive enough to think they are doing this help us escape Comcast on principle alone.  There is a definite benefit for them in the process.
