The one with the cigarette butt in it....

Or maybe the idea is to hire immigrants from more authoritarian cultures who are less likely to question orders to violate constitutionally protected rights? :tinfoil:

God Bless America.  :usa:

So as my wife was driving me around the other day I noticed my iPhone was polling people's routers. It would tell me the router name and ask to connect. I never do even though most are not secured. That got me thinking that if I am getting their information what information are they getting from me. So when I got home I checked my router and my name was on my router so I assume my it will be on other people's routers. Also, there were several questionable devices in the connection list but they did not connect but showed up in the list. That got me to thinking that I had had better change my name on my phone so when it tries to connect to someone else's router it will not have my name. And while I was at it I changed my router name as well. But I decided to have some with it. So my new name for my phone is "DEA Surveilance Van #8" so as I drive by routers it will show up in their device list. After changing it I checked my router and that is what it says. Along with that I changed my router's name to "DEA Camera #5". I am going to turn the range up so it will show up on people's phones as they drive by. Should make things interesting for the druggies living a few houses away and making daily runs.

Its been months since Sig Sauer ran their monthly sweepstakes, are you in my friend. http://www.sigsauer.com/TeamSig/Sweepstakes.aspx [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/sig%20516%20carbon_zpsro6b4o7g.jpg.html][/URL]

Before you know it you'll have a bunch of mooslims on the force trying to enforce sharia law and cry racism when someone complains.

It's time for a house cleaning in Nashville.  Actually, it's long over due!  We have a year and a half to find and convince creditable 2A supporters to run against some of these intrenched Anti 2A Republicans in Nashville.  Surely we can find some that would be welling to run!!!

That was great!       Ever hear Sungha Jung play?  You should like this little fellar.  He has hundreds of video on youtube.  I have all his albums autographed, I ordered them from Korea.   He even makes crappy songs good!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmplmxwE2WM

You must watch from beginning to end to appreciate... http://youtu.be/w768vbvOjfc If you think that's good check out his electric skills ...

One would think that if a foreigner served time in our military, he/she would want to attain natural citizenship before assuming law enforcement responsibility.  A green card was originally granted as a means for temporary work; long-term careers, especially involving public safety, should be reserved for those desiring to assimilate and swear allegiance to this country and its Constitution.   

I quit going to gun shows about 4 years ago.Usually the same overpriced crap at every show.It used to be fun to go to them before all the gun and ammo prices went sky high.

Perhaps it's just the fact that crooked departments make it easier for crooked officers to thrive.  The Chief Law Enforcement Officer at whichever department you want to talk about sets the tempo for what happens beneath them.  If that CLEO is an honest, ethical person intent on defending the Constitution then the department will generally follow suit.  If they aren't, then it generally won't.   Really this is fundamentally no different than any other business with a good or bad boss at the top of the ladder.  The problem is that a bad boss in this particular role can really make it miserable on the citizenry.

It's just them trying to deflect attention. He'll go work someplace else for Govt or some Crony-connected job just outside Govt while the next anti-Second-Amendment BATFE directer takes over. Trust me, they have got plenty of anti-2A'ers ready to replace the last one.

When they make it to production, I just might get one. Why? America. That's why.

These yahoo's are a loooong way from any kind of a conservative.

Why is that even legaL, Or is it?

Murica!

Just in time for spider season.

I'm a huge Joe fan.  His version of Just Got Paid from the Royal Albert Hall was amazing.

Start capacitors will fail over time.   The bigger issue on fixing them is whether or not the user actually knows what they're doing.  Big capacitors have the capacity to kill you.

I don't post much in this thread but I will say this....you know you are really hooked on a show when you spend 45 minutes reading posts from people you don't know on a message board about the show AND genuinely interested in the comments.

Somebody gotta be Otis.

This thread is way more entertaining than the WD and gives excellent insight into the tribe's mindset here.   I happen to like our tribe and that mindset. :squint:

Some days it's hard to tell the difference.

This sumbeech runs on the same 87-octane you can get from any gas station.  For as little as $700, I'm pretty sure they are going to sell a few. http://xm42.com/ http://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/xm42-handheld-flame-thrower-indiegogo/   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2iD9iNfh0U    

Thanks for reminding me just how much I like this young man's guitar playing.   Every time I hear him I have to wonder, would ol' Chet have given him a CGA, Certified Guitar Player, rating? If any don't know, that was Chet's seal of approval to recognize those he considered to be excellent guitarists.   I think he would.

I quit going to the Lebanon show a few years ago. Its only a 20 minute ride for me, but even with free parking its a bust. Last one I went to there was slammed full of folks, but like you said prices were insane. Seemed like most vendors were trying to pay for their tables the rest of the year off one sale...Got a deal on a Glock 34 last year at the Murfreesboro show, but it seems deals at gun shows are as rare as finding a pot of gold at the foot of your bed when you wake up.

Hello little yellow jackets...... say hello to my leetle friend.

Welcome to TGO and impending welcomes to TN.

    As a general rule I supported LE for a long time after I quit LE. But over time I quit supporting them as much as I once did and started viewing them differently. Now I only help individual officers, never departments, and only those I have come to know. But even then I do not trust those I know because they will turn if it benefits them. I do not trust the average officer to do what is right any more. Spent enough time in LE to know that most, not all, officers are no longer about protecting their communities but controlling or imparting their will upon others. It seems like the younger they are the worse it is. If I met an officer I mind what I say and what I do often ignoring them if I can because they are always looking.   There are some great officers out there that do what is right all the time but all it takes is a chance encounter with one of the bad ones to ruin your life. Even if the officer is 100% in the wrong, and you get cleared of everything, it will cost you 10's of thousands of dollars to do so while the officer is rarely held accountable. I hated to see people who were probably innocent plead guilty to a lesser charge or reduced sentence because they could not afford the cost of being exonerated.   I will tell you a story about my last interaction with LE. I had someone do something to my wife and I that was against the law. What they did was put our name, our address, my phone number and pictures of my wife from Facebook. They posted it on Craigslist telling people to come to my house at a specified time and rape my wife. Figuring this was a plan by my brother, who tried to kill us before, I contacted local LE for help. I gave them all the information as well as asked for a patrol to be present at the time specified in the ad in case some crazy decided to show up. They made all kinds of excuses why they could not help. I begged for help and they said they would not until after it happened. I told the sheriff that if anyone came in my house and tried to harm my wife I would kill them. Then the sheriff acted like I was a criminal for making that statement. Well after it was obvious they were not going to help I contacted my attorney who then called the sheriff. The attorney told the sheriff this was a credible threat because my brother had tried to kill us in the past but the sheriff still refused to have a patrol in the area. My attorney then told the sheriff he would sue him if anything happened at the time specified.   Well a few days after my attorney threatened to sue the department two officers showed up at my house out of the blue. They asked for me and my wife told them I was sleeping. The officers did not leave and had my wife wake me up from a nap and come to the door so they could talk to me. The reason? They were there because they wanted to know what kind of guns I had in the house. This was nothing more than a fishing trip by the officers, at the direction from the sheriff, to try to find a reason to throw me in jail after my attorney threatened to sue the department. This happened about 4 months ago and that is why I will not trust officers to do what is right, especially my local ones.

Just a heads up if anyone needs some but Walmart in Berry Hill has .223, 9mm, .40 and .308 all in stock as of 10 minutes ago. I just picked up  5 boxes of .223 but it was painful not to buy it all haha. It would have been more painful to explain that to my wife.

I change friends names all the time. Seems a lot of routers have the default password. :)

It's all fun and games until some jackass tries to open carry it and then some other jackass will pass a law.

And republicans are better how?

  There are also  . . . .   MASON bees!     Look it up - they wear little aprons and meet in buildings without windows.

This is nothing more than another rung in the ladder of confusion that is the ATF. Someone else, who is onboard with Obama's agenda, will be appointed shortly and a slew of new opinions will be announced further limiting our rights. I used to support the ATF as I did any other LE agency but now I no longer view them as a LE agency. The reason is because even though they swore to protect and defend the constitution they continue to attack those rights. If any other agency were to write opinions stating only certain forms of free speech are allowed the liberals would be up in as demanding action but because the ATF is limiting GUN rights the liberals are all for it. I am sure the agents are tired of the differing opinions and constantly changing policies as well.

"Former" directors don't have to worry about being called up before Congress to testify in hearings about ridiculous ammo bans.  They "no longer represent the agency", so they can't speak for them.

The mini14 is nice.

Anyone read Watership Down?  The animated movie was good, but not as good as the book.  For those of you who don't know, the story follows a group of rabbits who have to leave their home shortly before it is destroyed, and then they wander the countryside looking for a new home.  Along the way, they encounter different rabbit groups that reflect different ways that humans have governed themselves.   Their original group had a definite hierarchy, with a police force and a chief, but they were relatively free.  The last group they meet is intensely controlled by a militaristic dictator rabbit, with very little freedom.  In between, they meet a warren of fat, happy rabbits who have a man-made, spacious warren free from predators (called The Warren of the Snares).  Except the rabbits don't talk about the ones who go missing; they just accept that anyone of them might die one day and they don't dwell on it.  (A farmer was providing food for the rabbits and trapping them every now and then).  If the Governor is analogous to General Woundwort, the dictator rabbit, then the Alexandria Safe-Zone may be the Warren of the Snares.  They all are happy and their comforts are provided for, but when someone gets taken by Walkers, they seem like, "Oh, well.  That's life."     I'm not actually saying that The Walking Dead is using Watership Down as source material, but there are some similarities.  That is the type of  literature analysis that I would come up with for my high school and college English classes.  It always sounded like BS to me, but I could string together stuff in a way that made really good BS, or at least the teachers believed it.

Didn't watch the video but just looking at it makes me wonder if it could induce feeding issues.

They're probably outlawing your ability to sue if they haven't done so already.

I will go on record as saying, Glenn is probably THE baddest guy here overall.  No, he's not as viscious as Rick or as possum savvy as Daryl BUT, the numbers speak for themselves.   He's the one they send in when they're pretty sure no one else will survive.   He's the guy that figures out technical/mechanical things and up until the arrival of Eugene, had the highest IQ by a large margin. He's the one who scored himself a strong and faithful lady. He's the one smart enough to wear ARMOR!!   AND, they talked about this on the Talking Dead...up until this last episode, Glenn has never lost a man/woman on his watch.  Noah was the first person he wasn't able to save who died in his immediate vicinity.     Glenn is the balance needed to survive in ANY situation the Walkers/World present.  Tough when he needs to be.  Cunning as all hell.  With just enough compassion to keep him from going full on Rick sociopath.           ME and the wife are die hard Daryl fans but if this were the REAL world, I'd take a Glenn any day in my group.

Glenn is Korean ninja.

Have plenty in the safe. But this one is a little special for a special little girl. Pretty sure that I'm going to throw an integrally suppressed barrel on it before she shoots it.

I wouldn't worry about the non chrome lined if its good steel, which being a Ruger I'm willing to bet it is at the minimum "adequate" :) . In fact I prefer a non chromed barrel since I don't shoot corrosive .223 (does anyone still make any?) and the interwebz insist that a SS barrel will be more accurate. I find that cleaning each is about the same if your whistling a happy tune while you work, I like Walk by Pantera or Walking on Sunshine for a few ideas.   I also like the 1/8 twist just fine and have one on my 'DMR' AR. If you can honestly tell the difference between 1/7 1/8 and 1/9 twist beyond each having a different POA/POI than you are definitely a much better than average shooter, and/or shooting bullet weights at extreme ends of the weight spectrum and probably at long distances. Or you are looking for something that an entry level M4gery wasn't designed for.   I wouldn't say they skimped at all, but as our esteemed Bersaguy would say, thats JMHO....

    I believe the difference between a drone and a hobby RC aircraft is the capability for autonomous flight.  Anything that doesn't have to be under direct control of an operator 100% of the time is a considered a drone and the FAA wants to regulate them.  I don't think that's unreasonable.  As for being used for commercial purposes, the government just wants to tax that somehow and it's fallen into the FAA's lap.   I'm not sure why the media has made such a big deal over this, other than getting their peepee whacked for using them commercially.    http://www.faa.gov/uas/publications/model_aircraft_operators/

I hit a golf ball the other day, with a broken shovel handle, went about 200 yrds, baseball style. I use golf balls to get my chickens to lay in the nest box, that is about all the golf I play. Sorry for dumping on the thread, I will go back to my corner now.
