  You dummy. That's not agenda. That's vagina. :D

For those of you not familiar with a Protech TR4,  these knifes are awesome they have a safety and a glass breaker built in, here is a short video of my Punisher model   https://youtu.be/L01suAPvvHs

And it all started over the last brick of 22 left on the shelf

I will make sure to find me a knife fighting class before I use one for self defense. Matter of fact I don't think I have enough gun training to carry. After all being in the military, being in law enforcement as well as carrying a firearm for work in hostile environments probably isn't enough for your requirements. Personally the ONLY people who should not be allowed are those who have a proven VIOLENT history. I don't care if someone is a felon or bat#### crazy as long as they are not violent they should be able to use any means necessary, including fully automatic grenade launching machine guns, to protect themselves even if they do not have a single second of training. You, my friend, are the worst kind of gun owner. One that wants to limits other gun owners for their own reasons.

Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others. But, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was not the senior citizens who took   The melody out of music, The pride out of appearance, The romance out of love, The commitment out of marriage, The responsibility out of parenthood, The togetherness out of the family, The learning out of education, The service out of patriotism, The religion out of school, The Golden Rule from rulers, The nativity scene out of cities, The civility out of behavior, The refinement out of language, The dedication out of employment, The prudence out of spending, or The ambition out of achievement, And we certainly are not the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interactions with others! Does anyone under the age of 50 know the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner? Just look at those Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand at attention with their hand over their hearts! And, unless many of our younger generation learn to count in the absence of computers and calculators, they will be back to counting on fingers and toes. Remember.......Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what in the world happened.

THE STORY OF MY GUN………….. * Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 30.06  right in the doorway.  I left 6 cartridges beside it, then left it alone  and went about my business.   While I was gone, the mailman delivered my  mail, the neighbor boy across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked  her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign  near the front of my house. After about an hour, I checked on the gun.  It was still sitting there,  right where I had left it.  It hadn't moved itself outside.  It  certainly hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it  had presented to do so. In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself. Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the hype by the Left and the  Media about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people.  Either the  media is wrong or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world. The United States is 3rd in Murders throughout the World.  But if you  take out just 4 cities: Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC and New Orleans,  the United States is 4th from the bottom, in the entire world, for Murders. These 4 Cities also have the toughest Gun Control Laws in the U.S.  ALL  4 of these cities are controlled by Democrats.  It would be absurd to  draw any conclusions from this data -right? Well, I'm off to check on my spoons.  I hear they're making people fat.

Um, ya, sure.

Yep, almost as fast as Chuck Yeager......but without the gentlemanly class.

It's actually really informative. Not just a safety/rules rehash, but a full on basic lesson in ballistics. I learnt a heck of a lot!

  Goodbye.

If the state really wanted to make some money, they'd institute a "lifetime TICS fee". They'd make money and some of y'all would be in the black in a couple of weeks.

Is it just me or did you hear this when he started running?       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IrWhjzAVOo

Just to stir the pot...   Who would it be that DIDN'T pass these things on to their children, and their children's children?   Not trying to stand on a soapbox or anything, just trying to off a view without blinders on.   If a child is raised wrong, is it the school's fault, or the parent's? Each generation laments about the loss of respect and decency in the world, yet at the end of the day, it is ourselves who are to blame. It is our generation that failed to properly prepare the generation we begat. Not the school, not the government, not the television, us, the parents.   Myself? I know that my daughter isn't being raised the way I was. My senior citizen parent was a junkie who was self obsessed. My daughter is being raised by two loving parents that are concerned with her well being and future.             Just some thoughts to mull over there. ;)

My wife and I went on a trip to Savannah Georgia this week. We were looking at a World War Two monument there when a little girl and her mother walked up. The little girl looked up and read curiously...."World War Eleven." :ugh: What really bothered me is that her mother heard this and never corrected here. I don't suspect she knew any better either. This country is in trouble folks.

The numbers actually went down over that period because I stopped eating shellfish.  Its easy to prove… I stopped eating them, and the numbers went down.

Wanted to give my feedback and observations...sorry for the delay, been from Kingsport to Memphis and back again this week. All students were repeat clients having trained with Randy privately or through SI. 3 of the 5 students were health care providers. Cheap ammo adds to the training experience. I had aluminum based shells, the first 50 with no issues, the next 25 were hanging up as the gun got hot. I did learn how to mortar a shotgun to clear it. The odd thing is last class I used Fed alum with no problems, this was Win. With a pump shotgun, actuating your trigger finger should cause an uncontrollable urge to work the slide. Federal's 12ga Tactical low recoil both flite and non flite control patterned amazingly from my 870 Tactical. The flite control was slightly tighter at 15 yards than the OTC Remington Express 12ga OO at 4 yards. Chopping down the stock for better fit and adding a limb saver recoil pad was a huge improvement over last time I trained with it. I missed out on transition to pistol / pistol work and furthering my skills on proactive reloads, but I was napping in the shade. As Randy mentioned it got hot. I felt I had adequately pre hydrated and stayed hydrated; ended up with a blistering headache and nausea. I was drinking only water and at one point Andrew offered a drink with some electrolytes which I declined - perhaps the culprit? Got home took a shower, are dinner, felt fine... There is no doubt that students do get immersed in the training...where else are you going to see a guy throw what looks like his new Benelli M4 on the deck during a transition drill? Thank you to everyone for participating amd Prag for facilitating and hustling on the range. oh, it was Sunday, so we got to pray...pretty cool since He said something about 3 or more gathering in His name... Jesus, Please make us an instrument of your peace; Where there is hatred, let us sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light And where there is sadness, joy! Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; To be understood as to understand; To be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; In pardoning that we are pardoned and in dying that we are born to eternal life!

From reading some other threads on here, I expected it to be the Memphis or Nashville zoo....                 :hiding:

I am in the process of moving (back) to Nashville and will try to make it. It will be the first time the guns have been out of the safe in a long time. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

Yes , it's called Interquette …...

 not typical… tactical… just like CC vs OC, don't let them know until you can pounce!

Hose the action down with WD-40. Make sure to really soak the inside of the action with it. Let it set for 10-15 minutes then use high pressure air, from a compressor and not one of those cans, and blow out the receiver. Repeat 2-3 times.   Most guns that quit working do so because of crud, dirt or debris inside the working parts. The best, and easiest, way to clean most guns is with WD-40.   WD-40 is not a lubricant. It is more like a mild solvent and helps break down dried out oils and greases in most older and neglected guns.

I could be wrong, but I don't see that ever happening. They already brought the gun out as the same size as the P30L. I foresee them putting out a VP9SK before anything else in the 9mm lineup. Especially with how well the new P30SK is selling. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I may have agenda. I get tired and out of breath sometimes and my chest hurts when I overexert myself.

I've had guests from all over the US and Europe visit this range,everyone pretty much says the same thing: most incredible, nicest range they've ever been to in their life.

How come I never get to see the good stuff like this when I go to Walmart? Lol

RIP American Dream!!

It is one of "those" handguns that I believe everyone should have. Everyone should have a 1911, a 4" .357 revolver, a CZ, a Glock...   The CZ platform is one of the greatest of all time. Congrats.

I saw this the other day. Sad state of affairs our country is in when you have people afraid to intervene in something for fear of lawsuits.    And that mother needs to lose her kid.

You know, until now, I always assumed a cat fight would be something arousing to watch.    I was wrong.

One more word outa you and I'm gonna get off the fat lady scooter and whip your ass  :rofl:

sad shes carrying on like that in front of her child...

White trash at its finest! That little kid will be in the juvenile system before long.

Wake me up when they offer a VP45.  This was necessary for them to pursue the striker-fired police service pistol market, but the .40SW is just not a cartridge I care about anymore.  Everything I carry now is either 9mm or .45ACP

I find open carry kind of humorous.  Most guys and it is mostly guys, who I see open carry look to me like they should also be carrying a sign that says, "Shoot me first, then take my gun."  I might be rudely mistaken but most open carry guys I run across appear to be posers.  

  You're really quite the charmer ... so glad to have you aboard.   - OS

  Just make sure the sharp side goes to the meat. You been schooled :)

  Most states have open carry (and several now with concealed carry) without a permit… several states that require a permit also require no training to get the permit.  The blood and lawsuits aren't flowing.   The biggest problem in TN is that a "No Gun" sign should NOT have force of law… its ridiculous.  Its like having a "no food/drinks" sign up and someone getting arrested for having a candy bar in their pocket.  If someone wants to kick someone out for having a gun or a candy bar or whatever… then let them kick them out, not some blanket sign that has force of law.

  You belong to Bloomberg's group?   And btw, you have to have that lifetime permit for ~40 years before it's a price break.   - OS

Never liked pipe cleaners, but I always use 6" medical swabs too. The head is smaller and is glued to the stick. No problem!

I just wrote "World War II" on a piece of paper and asked my 8 year old grandson to read it.     He said world war two.

I'm gonna watch it but I'm afraid it's going to be drama filled instead of quality craftsmanship. I don't see making a knife/sword as a half hour deal but I guess we will see.

Well you'll talked me in to it, 44 mag here we come!

  .45 colt is larger diameter bullet than .410 bore.   Handguns like Judge and Governor have .45 bore, not .410, and chamber is modified to accept both, not even sure .45LC will fit in regular .410?, but if it does, don't fire it.   Even if it were safe, which it's not, the bullet would come out of it like a knuckle ball, yaw and/or tumble all over the place.   - OS   edit: Garufa beat me tuit.

I think the coop is very secure. Chicken wire on top and hardware cloth on sides all secured with heavy staples. We also have 5' farm fence around the yard. Between that and the dog hoard I'm hoping to keep all the critters away. I will be watching for snakes but we do that anyway because of the copperheads around here.

You gotta change that train of thought there!! Go buy another one and tell her it's just like yours, but special, for her. I bought my husband a Glock 29 for his birthday. Without shooting it, I knew I liked it was to much. Two weeks later I got one for myself, to not take his. Because I would have wanted to. It's hard to trick women, but if done right, I bet you can make it look like a special present, you know, because you love her!

  I wouldn't rule out CC any gun by a women have you seen the size of some of the purses some women carry.  I bet you could get an AR15 in some women's purses and no one would notice :).

Man that's great and disappointing at the same time!  :up:  :down:

They used the ITAR regulations to go after the 3d printed guns.   Stuff like this will only get worse the closer we get to his term ending. What scares the bejesus out of me is that ~3 months between the election and him leaving office. We are going to see an all out assault on all guns and ammunition, specifically imports, because he KNOWS he can do it using executive orders and by the time all the outrage will hit Washington he will be long gone. Then Hillary will finish the fight or at least refuse to reverse everything Obama will have done.   We ARE getting to a point where contacting representatives is a senseless waste of time. I contact my representatives all the time regarding issues and they do not care about me or what I have to say. They only care when they are not getting their fair share of the corrupt profits. This is no different than what started the Revolutionary war. We are getting taxed to a point it is a serious burden and our representatives do not represent us or even listen to us.   Our representatives, state and federal, are so corrupt that they do not want to risk being caught themselves by trying to hold others accountable. There have never been any more clear cut cases for impeachment as well as a well deserved cleaning in Washington but not a single representative will start the process. Yes there is a lot of posturing and talk but nothing is, or ever will be, done.   We ARE about to loose a substantial amount of our gun rights. Not because of this but because Obama knows the system and knows he can use executive orders to significantly impact the rights of gun owners. Imagine if he put in place and executive order banning the import of guns, ammunition as well as ANY gun related item? And he has the authority to do it using executive orders and just like the Kalashnikov Concern import ban anything else banned by executive order will be there forever. How fun will it be to shoot your AK when ammunition will be $1 a round? He has already put a HUGE burden on those importing gun powder for reloading.   And along with our second amendment will be an attack on all the others. We are already seeing serious attacks on ALL of the first 10 amendments with the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th being their main focus right now.   Think we are not in the midst of a fledgling tyranny? Ask yourself if you are afraid of the government and the answers to both are the same. If the populace is afraid of their government then that government is generally a tyrannical government.

I hear a lot of "nobody notices open carry", "you could carry a howitzer and most wouldn't notice", etc. I think most of those folks are actually "almost" carrying concealed, with service size heater or smaller tight to side with at least a shirt covering half of it or more.   Carrying a gat completely open with tucked in shirt and no jacket or whatever is going to be noticed, simple as that. I know because I've done it, and have gotten that attention. By what overall percentage depending on size of the thing and whatnot is debatable, but doesn't matter to me if it's only 1 in 20, I simply don't want the attention.   I also hear the "it's so much more comfortable" and "most expedient way to deploy" claims, and there's a lot of truth in that -- however, whether you mean it as such or not, a completely exposed roscoe is also an attention getting statement. And gawd knows based on the appearance of some folks I see doing it, not one that conveys a positive image to the average John Q in any way, either. (I'll include myself in that category at times, btw).   All that being said, of course I support your right to do it. But I'll stay in gray man mode myself, for a variety of reasons.   - OS

I've heard several times that it's not smart to mess with an old man. When they're too old to fight and too slow to run, their only option is to kill you.
