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.

What OS said.   Though the big question is...hair stylist?  I thought men went to barber's.  ;)

No idea, but I'd like to see an animated simulation of the carnage that would ensue if it happened.   It might be the funniest thing I've ever seen; Seeing the "Industrial Technological System" as ole' Ted put it, crumble.  Some people can't wipe their own azz unless they google it first.  

Great, great advice here. I prefer a Smith 19 or 686, but the GP is a great option, and I've had all three but I still have the 19. I'll get another 686 first, and THEN the GP. The Ruger is a total tank, and will handle some nuclear handloads. I simply prefer the slightly more refined (and to my eyes, beautiful) Smith offerings. I would suggest taking the time to find a nice pre-lock model. There's nothing like shooting a fine, full-size revolver in single-action.

Have fun in this snow while you can I'm building an ark, looks like I'll need it next week.

  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.

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.

I used a Kicks Goblin Thunder in my SBEII for years until I sold the shotgun. It worked just fine. Nice tight pattern. Shot a turkey at 50yds with a 3.5" mag.

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

How about a RIA 1911 in 9mm?

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!!

looks like my kids when they got a whoopin lol

Steve Martin is second only to the late great Robin Williams.   His acting range is unbelievable. True, comedy is his best venue, but he can do serious sides as well.

Surprised nobody has recommended a SKS. Ammo can be had for $5-6 per 20. Hunting ammo available too. Plenty good for home defense and has "history". Guns are running $250-300 and 1k of ammo still can be had around $220. 7.62x39 been doing serious work for some time and isn't going anywhere. Edit: $10 per 100 ain't gonna happen anymore unless bought in bulk online. 9mm is the closest you'll come.

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.

Gun Porn..I knew it !!!!!.. all those late night session on the Internet.. the wispering and giggling..      How could you!!!  :(  :cry:

I think I found my next gift for TGO Secret Santa.  :D

"We now turn to our meteorologist Ollie for a checkup on the snow. Ollie " SNOWING LIKE HELL ! "Thanks Ollie"

They make preachers invent new curse words.

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

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

    The Godson will be our next Knife October I will be starting to take Payments and provide all info on it then, I am strongly leaning towards making it a little brother to our Godfathers, 

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.

  If our retired ID won't do, maybe that picture of us with Brian Williams standing next to the CH-47 that we were shot down in will work.      Speaking of that, I wonder if Brian Williams gets a military discount at Lowe's.   AND Getting Back On Topic - - - -   The Polish Plate should be unpinned for anybody shooting a HK product!   :stir:
