I've seen several pickups in the last few days driving around with great big confederate flags flying from their beds. They'll fare well here in Lafayette, but let them go into the the wrong neighborhood in another town, and the race war Obama wants is on.   I don't wish to see it, but it's gonna happen shortly.

I bought myself a Confederate flag today.   My family were Union zealots and I personally can't think of a worse cause than the Confederate cause. I think the Confederacy cost us 800,000 lives without good reason and I could never support it, then or now. I think it is wise to remove the Confederate flag from government buildings in places where its presence causes offense. But there it ends. Removal of Confederate memorabilia from our Battlefield Parks, our cities, and our stores, vandalizing Confederate monuments, pressuring schools to change their names from those of Southern leaders, and even pressuring the Army to rename posts named after Confederate generals is political correctitude run amuck and weak-kneed cowardice unbecoming this nation. The Confederacy existed and it influenced the nation and its history- get over it.     I bought that Confederate flag because the Confederacy is a major part of American history, a part that helps define us as a nation, and a part every American should know about. That being the case, no dictatorial bunch of feather merchant liberals in denial about its importance as something more than a symbol of racism will have my support in banning that flag from its rightful place in our national heritage. About all I can do to help preserve it is to buy a Confederate flag. So I did. 

    it's an issue because the professionals always seem to need to blame some thing and not some one. 

they are available to anyone membership is not required, though you would be welcomed to join. The state is the one who will be damaged most by removing them if they do, as half the extra goes directly to the state and the other half goes to the Sons of Confederate Veterans who send it directly to the TN state museum for the purpose of conserving the many original flags they have in their inventory. It can cost thousands of dollars to conserve each flag and this revenue stream is used for that.   you may swap your tag any time you like. They prorate the cost so you won't be out any more if you change at your normal renewal or any other time.

Woohoo! Take that regulations! When demand is high enough, you can bet entrepreneurs will create a market to satisfy that demand.

what kills me is how these idiots always need to blame some 'thing' and not the crazy lunatic thug that committed the crime.   On one hand I'm thankful they're not going after the guns blindly again (because he wasn't using one of those evil black rifles of mass destruction), but on the other hand, WTF does that flag have to do with anything?  Because the thug had one?  He also had an American flag, and obviously had a digital camera, why not ban cameras so no one can take photographs of things that offend people.   good grief.

In accordance with my firm conviction that sometimes the only way a man can keep his self respect is to pin a big piece of mistletoe on his shirt tail and walk right down the middle of the street for all to see, I bought a Confederate flag this morning. I guess that's my gentlemanly way of dropping my drawers and showing the bas....ds what to kiss.

Yes. Get it. Now. But seriously, real 10mm ammo from Buffalo Bore, Doubletap, Underwood, and a couple others is no joke. Great hiking gun and great capacity vs revolvers. Don't misunderstand me, I love revolvers too and have a Smith 357, 44, 38, etc. However, those are range toys for me now and too heavy for the amount of firepower they carry vs something like a G29. I'm no Glock fan either, but they really are the only company making a solid, compact(ish) 10MM with real capacity. I personally have a full size EAA Witness Elite Match 10MM and love it. However, thei smaller framed 10MM designs are known to have durability concerns. For that reason I wouldn't be against the Glock. At the price and condition, you can't go wrong. If you don't like it you won't lose money, for sure.

BTW, this thread is worthless without pics. :D

I like a twin turbo V8 better.

For the 80s kid in me, if it's good enough for Ricardo Tubbs then it's good enough for me. And for the adult I am today if it's good enough for Walter White aka Heisenberg then it's good enough for me.

Saw this posted on Facebook earlier this evening: Everything Weapons has entered into a deal to buy The Outpost Armory and merge retail operations. That's huge! Please join me in wishing them both the best of success. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Smyrna Tn. this afternoon. Just a few hundred yards from the Police Station on Enon Springs. [/URL] [url=http://s280.photobucket.com/user/insanecreepy/media/Flag%201_zpsa3f6z3zu.png.html][/URL] You ain't just a whistling Dixie!

http://freebeacon.com/issues/kids-create-salt-black-markets-in-cafeterias-due-to-michelle-obamas-lunch-rules/   Children are creating their own black markets to trade and sell salt due to First Lady Michelle Obama’s school lunch rules.   “Perhaps the most colorful example in my district is that students have been caught bringing–and even selling–salt, pepper, and sugar in school to add taste to perceived bland and tasteless cafeteria food,” said John S. Payne, the president of Blackford County School Board of Trustees in Hartford City, Indiana. “This ‘contraband’ economy is just one example of many that reinforce the call for flexibility [with the rules],” he said. Payne noted other problems with the “one-size-fits-all” approach to providing healthier meals to students, including fewer kids participating in the program and higher food waste. The trend started in 2012, when the school lunch law, which was championed by Mrs. Obama, went into effect. Read more.

Saw them here near Franklin several years ago.  Looked like a purple cloud.  Pulled over on I-840 near I-65 to look and figure out what I was seeing.  Not the curtain look we see on tv, just a blotchy cloud of purple but it was visible while driving.  Very early in the morning, was headed out to deer hunt.  But, it's possible to see em here.  Keep watching.   While we're on the subject, pretty neat alignment of Venus and Jupiter after sunset right now.  Worth a look.

Fanatical open carry crowd I open carry a Springfield Professional daily.

I see no reason to disable the grip safety on a 1911.

There are a lot of guys that own a 20 or 29 because they are 10mm fans, but yet they despise Glocks.

Standing on the side of the road out of traffic, flying a flag that is disappearing from stores under pressure and being removed from availability on license plates and dropped from battlefields isn't acting an ass. Acting an ass was in Ferguson and Baltimore with smaller reenactments daily in most big cities. A week ago these flags were spotted here and there and nobody noticed them, but now it's being attacked as if it was one of the bullets in the church. Not only are people attacking it, govt and businesses are acting against it so fast it's head spinning. With the lack of confederate flags in Chicago and its peaceful utopia , it's obvious that hiding it and removing it will make the country better :down:

  When ebay finds out it is there it will be pulled.

Light, reliable, plenty of parts upgrades available, more capacity than a revolver.  Get it.

I keep my beard fairly short. I did grow it out a bit once and I didn't think it was looking that great so I trimmed it back. Anyways, I've been a beard oil user for a year now, both short Bears and long beard. I love it. It smells great. Keeps your skin hydrated and not itchey. Also helps reduce dandruff. It does soften and help tame wild hairs too. So it's good on short bears as well.

The gun industry attracts conspiracy theorists. Every industry has their kooks, or their "ultra left wing" "ultra right wing" type people the majority wishes would shut up i would wager. The Alex jones types seem to be ours.   Edit: Oh, and the fanatical open carry crowd.

If I want to go downtown for a concert or visit a bar with friends I'll take an Uber or Lyft. For the cost of parking I can get dropped off at the door

This. Almonds can't produce milk anymore than I can. :dirty:

Sorry to hear that. I have two friends that I have lost to suicide from PTSD related to experiences in the GWOT. I consider them, and your friend, just as much of a casualty as those that die in theater.

Conspiracy????   :tinfoil:

Not that easy a Dmax, tranny and transfer case will cost over $50k installed The motor must be detuned or you'll rip the portal hubs to pieces..

Pretty good deal on the barrels and a few other items ..... Its all 50% off .... If you want a super accurate barrel look no further   http://www.larue.com/on-sale?sort=popular

 The three Ss:   shoot, shovel and silence.

    Just carry and AK and it does not matter if sand gets in it.... or your ham sandwich.

I can see it now (random redneck guy headed to the beach): Honey, does this body armor and AR make my butt look big?    No dear but the thong speedo isn't helping any...     Then we will get a whole series of posts about how to keep sand out of the BCG...

And as he left that interview he likely had a squad of armed men with guns. He is just like every other elitist in that the common man cannot have what they have. Just like our politicians that believe they are some how justified in believing they are better than anyone else.

Shaving one off leaves your looking like a plucked chicken.  And feeling like one.

  I figured it was a PEPR. I use the specs suggested by the Fat Wrench. I'm betting money that the mount hand a problem out of the box. Good lesson learned. Put your rings together and torque them down (without the optic) before you start lapping. That's something I would have never thought to do, but will in the future.

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

I have no idea when the OP posted his 6th post, but 5 were in this thread in 1 hour and 22 minutes prior to getting hammered.  Is that close to being the record?  If not, does it qualify for top 10 status?  How about a sticky for fastest banned, maybe call it the Dipshit Hall of fame ...

Maybe new members should read a few threads and posts on TGO before they comment, just a suggestion, not saying make it a rule. They will soon find that members here do not compromise when it comes to our freedoms and the Constitution. We all know the real definition of compromise: is the same as "surrender".

Wow, 6 posts in and already calling members 'ignorant asses'. You won't be here long.

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.

I came from a state that had constitutional open carry long before you could conceal. Strangely there were not a bunch of law suits or blood running down the streets. In addition the class you take for your permit is a joke.

What is your view of the "shall not be infringed" part of the Second Amendment? :ugh:

  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

  Truer words were never spoken and it also applies to everything in life.

Not very knowledgeable of the difference in barrel brands, but with the 14.5+pinned break vs. 16" debate, I say go 16".  Gives you a lot easier options if you ever want to switch what you have at the end of your gun.  The 1.5" difference is negligible.
