2015 is officially the year of the AK for me. This year alone I have purchased two Century (CAI) "Iraqi Contractor" Romanian WASR 10's, a 2013 production Century (CAI) Romanian WASR 10, Century (CAI) Romanian RPK AES10B, + a Yugoslavian N-PAP DF. I have another Century (CAI) "Iraqi Contractor" Romanian WASR10 + a Century (CAI) Romanian Draco AK pistol en route to my FFL as I write this. As you can see, I am a fan of the weapon system through + through. At the present moment, I am debating the purchase of a Arsenal SLR107FR but I am stuck on if I should pick the variant with plum furniture or all black. Decisions, decisions! Without further ado, I present to you my humble selection of AK's.

Him running or not has everything to do with it. You don't see many story's of guys who followed the officers directions getting hurt. Take you fight to the court room instead of the street and these type events don't happen.

If this behavior keeps up maybe eventually these thugs will stop activity such as fighting with the police, running from the police, pointing real and fake guns at the police, etc. I feel sorry for cops since now days the criminal seems to get the benefit of the doubt.

If you did, you know what I'm talking about.  WTF?

My daughter forgot her PINK handcuffs at my house today when she came to pick my grand daughter after work. Well being the complete moron I am I noticed about 2 seconds AFTER I locked myself to the pole on my porch that she hadn't left the key, and I am the only one at home with my phone sitting on the kitchen table mocking me lol. Two hours later my wife finally comes home and after she quit laughing at me she called Shay and had her bring the key. So that was my day today.

  The guy was handcuffed and in leg irons for his transportation.  What level of threat does he represent that can't be handled by trained officers at that point?  Walk me from him being restrained in cuffs and leg irons to an 80% severed spine and explain why him running factors into it.

  Whether or not running from the police is a good idea or not shouldn't even enter into the equation, at all.  You keep bringing it up, and it has the "thug got what was coming" vibe to it.  It doesn't matter if he surrendered peacefully or resisted arrest with armed force, basic humane treatment of those in police custody has to be the same across the board, or it causes problems.       Neglect basic care for prisoners in your charge is a recipe for disaster within the community.    The criminal (read: accused) getting the benefit of the doubt is a legal protection....innocent until proven guilty and all that.

Everybody needs a collection of something.

  The second he signed it yesterday you were good to go.

Forget it! This is the winner! Turn veggies into bacon...that is awesome.

I guess the riots are going to begin in Baltimore since they say another Black man was killed while in police custody. This time he was not shot but go a broken back and died a few days later in Hospital. I saw this story the morning it broke and the guy went down hard after trying to jump some type of fence while running from the police. The police were on bicycles and he was running. If he was not guilty of anything why was he running? They have yet to explain that but all 3,000 police are on duty on Saturday in full riot gear. If I am not guilty of anything, the last thing I will do is run from the police...............JMHO

all I ever have used Wheaties for is to make balls for fishing bait.   As for Bruce,  I don't care what he does.  I do know life is too short and if this makes him happy then good for him.  People are allowed to be happy.   You can't change that he is arguably the greatest Olympian ever.

While I adamantly believe that there are more good cops than bad but lot of times I just shake my head....   http://thefreethoughtproject.com/cop-ruptures-mans-spleen-fellow-cops-laugh-pics-lays-dying-begging-medical/#TTIEeJ3ljv9lkePH.99  

  Yep.  I guess the jokes about those short shorts have been right all along.

I was taught as a child and all my life I have been told when any police officer tells you to stop or quit you stop or quit. I have been taught that my entire life and to this very day if A Policeman or Policewoman tells me to stop, STOP is exactly what I do. It is something that was taught to me as a child. Respect Law Enforcement Officers. Now that does not mean that all LEO's are good by any means. The ones that handled this situation did everything wrong and should be punished for their neglect and failure to provide this man due process of medical attention before moving him. I just have faith in the fact 1 bad apple does not make an entire police force rotten. There are more good LEO's than bad.............................jmho

Very nice. I do favor the AK platform quite a bit.   But I only have 3. :surrender:

She is, and had to buy her own cuffs so she bought a pink set, lol she said the males at jail about crap themselves when she pulls them out for a perp walk over to the court house.

Hmmm. Well I could tell some stories about folks playing around with handcuffs resulting in a 911 phone call for an officer to help get them out of the handcuffs. Of course sometimes they weren't USA pattern cuffs using a standard handcuff key. BTW a sliver of metal used as a shim works fine...if you can reach it or hint...have a standard ink pen in your pocket...

Liberal heads are exploding across the state.

There are two words to describe what happened: Brake Check!

  I have a hard time understanding how people can believe that simply stepping into a park or being around children suddenly makes someone a homicidal maniac.  Do they not realize that on any given day they're probably walking their kids past any number of people that are probably carrying?  I mean, I can understand the initial "What, they let people carry guns?" thought of someone first being exposed to lawful carry but I just can't grok how people can keep saying there will be blood in the streets and people shooting each other over parking spaces (or the best fishing spots) when every study says otherwise and no state has turned into a war zone when it became shall-issue.   I just wish they'd just come out and admit that guns scare them and they don't like the thought of people having them.  That's completely legitimate.  It's not a good reason for the rest of us to be denied our rights, but at least the antis can be honest about their motives.

This should satisfy them. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JMH42/media/NoGuns_zps2cae4b2e.jpg.html][/URL]

From the mid-70s through the mid-80s he was manhood personified. Yet during all that time he was dealing with gender dysphoria. I am imagine this is throwing a lot of people for a loop. My hope is that it will open some hearts and minds to the fact that there are many things about gender and sexual identity that they don't really understand and it will hopefully lead them to be more understanding and accepting of others. I wish Bruce all of the happiness that he can find for himself in his remaining years. 65 years is a long time to hate what you see in the mirror.

During the interview, he admitted that he was wrong for putting the wives through this mess, but he also said that he wasn't attracted to men. I'm also a live and let live kind of guy, but hearing this news threw me for a loop because he was my childhood superman.

I have a CM40 , CM9 , and the P380. :)

Four things I don't have. Not so easy... ;)

The weather turned out great! As always this is the best, most fun match. It was tough and very challenging.   Big THANKS to everyone in my squad for the help!!! 

Or perhaps we will see the reemergence of militant black groups arming themselves against a perceived injustice in the same way that the cattle rancher and the mining family stood their ground. There are already a group suggesting this type of action in Crittenten (?) county Arkansas. I'm certain the outcome won't be the same. These incidents have been happening for years. If it were not for modern technology, the general public would still be believing that the suspects ran, tried to take my gun, resisted, went in his/her pocket in a threatening manner, reached into the console too fast. If you've lived in a community where you've seen the cops beat the hell out of people for minor offenses or if your family members tell you stories about the cops violating their rights, whether it's justified or not, I can imagine depending on circumstances running may seem like a viable option.

Everyone thinks moving a safe is a big deal it really isn't.  I've moved my 700 pound safe 4 times.  An appliance dolly and a friend are all you need.  It helps to load it onto a trailer as opposed to putting it in the back of a truck as you don't have to lift it as high.  Get a piece of cardboard under it and scoot it across the floor.  If you are crossing a wood floor spray some furniture polish along your path and buff it with a rag, the safe will move over the floor effortlessly. 

I've got 4 Glocks but I just don't shoot them well. I swear I'm gonna sell them but I can't bring myself to it .....

  Well, the property that 1311 affects is:   "... any public park, playground, civic center or other building facility, area or property owned, used or operated by any municipal, county or state government, or instrumentality thereof, for recreational purposes."   I suppose it will be determined by contract/lease law to some extent? Meaning, just what rights and "rules" do the feds give up along with the lease of the land? Does it become totally under Clarksville's control as de facto city property during the lease?   We ain't seen nuthin' yet about some of the hissy fits this change will foment. Again I mention coliseums, arenas, zoos, discovery/adventure center type facilities, all manner of stuff that is either in a park or is clearly "recreational" in purpose, etc.   - OS

Woo hoo!  Guns in parks is signed!  Now to go have fun at The Tennessean blog flaming left wing lunatics, haha, LOL.

Could be worse. At least it keeps me off the streets and out of bars!   :rofl:

Just an aside, I just noticed the little English lesson correction in the bill also, surprised I never caught it the many times I read existing statute.   Previously from 39-17-1311 "A person possessing unloaded hunting weapons while transversing the grounds..."   Amended to:   SECTION 5. Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 39-17-1311, is amended by deleting from subdivision ( b )(1)(J)(ii) the word “transversing” and substituting instead the word “traversing”.   ----------   i.e., a person could only "transverse" something if his body lies across it.   / end pedantry :)   - OS

I haven't really looked to much into Jade Helm, but with asking locals to report anything suspicious and seemingly trying to blend in to a more urban environment, makes you wonder about certain specific unstable Slavic regions we may have in our sights. Just me pondering, and I am just assuming that this is more urban training than desert training. I could be wrong even on that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So.....who's going out OC'ing this afternoon in a formerly posted park?   :hiding:

  I spend a lot of time on some of the greenways in Knoxville, which of course also  go through parks.   Even though it's been de facto legal here since the change to preemption statute last year and fact that the city took no action to conform with opting out under the existing 39-17-1311, it's really nice to have that part totally cut and dried, and of course very pleased for all the other folks state wide.   Now, let the gray areas of coliseums, arenas, zoos, discovery centers,  etc etc start getting hashed out as applied to the revised statute as compared to 1359.   - OS

Wow, that is great news, but surprising as hell.

  Always a good idea to include a link to the site in question.   Helpful to include the actual link   http://www.alliantpowder.com/resources/catalog.aspx

Keep in mind that even something low like a Deltapoint/clone sitting on a saddle mount is going to be a lot higher than a bead or rifle sights.  You might need to add some height to your stock to get the cheek weld right.

Checked Wally in Hermitage.  No 9mm, but they had some .308 at the great price. The operative word there is "had".

The pistol grip shotguns, at least in 12 gauge, are hard to control after the 1st shot.  I get followup shots off much quicker with a full stock.  #4 Buck is good, and I've read that #1 is better for penetration, but it's harder to find.   I'm only gonna clear the room I'm in.  The cops can do the rest.

A shotgun is good home defense weapon. Sounds like your Mossberg has a 20” barrel. That’s fine as long as you can maneuver it. Barrel length usually becomes an argument when people start talking about “clearing” your apartment or house. If you know someone is there you don’t go hunting; you let them come to you, through the fatal funnel. If you aren’t sure you run the risk of being taken out no matter what kind of weapon you have. I would use 00 over #4. But everyone will have an opinion; they will both penetrate multiple sheets of drywall. Short of non-lethal or bird shot there isn’t anything you can put in a 12GA that won’t put your neighbors at risk if you shoot the wall. The same thing will happen if you miss with a handgun. A dog will let you know if someone is in your house or apartment.

That's what really aggravates me is that the new movies have essentially turned all those writers, and the video games that are post ROTJ, into fan fiction. All that hard work, down the drain all because they wanted to use their own "new and original" source material. That being said, I'm gonna likely watch the new one probably 3 times. I actually had a kid tell me he thinks the best movie franchise of all time is The Fast and the Furious series. It took all I had not to beat him to death with a lead filled light saber...

You, sir, have just purchased the finest 9mm handgun ever conceived. You will be amazed at the performance. You will use so little paper, you'll be the envy of everyone you know! Congratulations!!

  And why did you hate it? This is the type of info that may help other buyers make informed choices. I enjoy carry of my 938 as it is small and lightweight yet it carries a 9mm punch so I realize that it is not going to be nor is it a range toy; it is a self defense weapon. It is more pleasant to shoot than the PF-9 that I owned; that was a snappy little fellow with a fair but long trigger. Did not like shooting the S&W BG380 due to its heavy long ass trigger but it carried in the pocket very well and fit the hand pretty darn good too; but it was no range gun. I carried a Bersa BT380 and loved shooting it at the range as the DA/SA trigger made shooting pleasant but it was too big for pocket carry and for a 380 it is simply on the portly side.... So for me the 938 is the best of all worlds to carry as it is very comfy in an OWB leather holster, can be pocket carried if needed, is SAO much akin to the 1911 which I VERY much enjoy shooting; and while it is a handful at the range it is by no means unpleasant to shoot enough to stay familiar with. Although the 938 will likely be taking the back seat as a CZ RAMI 2075 D has joined my stable.....
