Please allow me to introduce myself, I am the Dispatch Manager and Software Integration Specialist for Dauenhauer Plumbing. The largest privately owned plumbing company in the state of Kentucky.   I accepted the position this morning. It is a raise, and a promotion from where I was. It is a more relaxed atmosphere and I will be instrumental in big changes at the company. I will be helping select the new software and phone system, participating in the construction and layout of a new building for my department and then training my department in the best way to do the job. After that I will be on the continuous lookout for new software and technological advances to keep my company on the cutting edge of the plumbing industry as technology leaders.   The statement was "We knew where we needed to be, we had no idea how to get there, then you walked in the door as the solution to everything we needed.

Did you ask about their Firearm policy  :D     Too soon?  J/K, glad it all worked out.

Idiot took a machine gun to a US Marine fight.

Cool video and good illustration of the differences. A good follow-up might be showing your friends' improvement in both speed and accuracy with improved trigger control. And I'll be completely honest, in all the prior videos I've watched, I never noticed you were missing an arm.

Gosh that press network is as bad as the American press is. They sure did want to avoid telling the world that the Americans were Marines and kept calling them civilians instead of Marines. Typical French I guess. They hate to admit that had it not been for American Armed Forces, France would belong to Germany and they still don't want to give credit where credit is due........... :rant: .

LMFAO!.......that was funny.   Yeah the nickname "Fitty%" I got in Afghanaland in 04 because a friend finally realized I was half black & half white so instead of 50cent the rapper he called me Fitty% and it stuck.   When I lost the arm they made the joke that I could only be Fitty% as tactical as I used to be and that became the name of the YouTube channel lol.   I think the term "tactical" has been way overused and I find it funny when someone thinks that I actually consider myself to be a "tactical operator"....Thats why my friend and I created the satire character "Opr8rERROR"

  I have both arms and I can't be more than about 2% tactical. ;)

You need to get into transferables if you need to stress yourself out over the wait time.

You do realize he is missing one arm? That might be why he is not supporting the rifle and why he is "50% tactical". I guess you need both arms to be "100% tactical".

    No. but complete enough for me. If you watch the walking dead you know that sights are not required to make head shots!

  There are rumors that Idaho will become part of the USA soon.   - OS

I can guarantee anyone set on doing harm to others will just shoot the bag checker in the face before submitting to a bag search. All this created is a super safe place for criminals to commit crimes against others.   I really, really wish one of many victims who were hurt at these gun free zones would sue the property owner. Even if they don't win the cost would eventually eat away at the gun buster signs on the doors.     http://wate.com/2015/08/19/regal-movie-theaters-begin-bag-search-policy/     Some on the Regal Columbus Stadium 12 Facebook page claim the new policy is turning them away. One comment called the policy unjust and unfriendly to law-abiding citizens. “Will not, under any circumstances, return to a Regal theater since you instituted the bag search policy,” one person wrote.   Another poster said, “Do you guys want to go out of business? Hassling women to check their purses?”   “I understand that, but I think it would be nice if people didn’t have guns in the movie theaters,” Jay Weinisch said. “I don’t think it’s that much to ask.”   On it’s website, Regal Entertainment Group acknowledges that the policy could be an inconvenience, but says they hope it is a minor issue compared to increased safety. “I think that anything that will protect the citizens, people should have the patience to go through that,” Shirley Wilkie said.

Ever hear of Lafayette? What about French blood shed on American soil during our Revolution so that republicanism could triumph in a world of aristocracy. We should have a kindred spirit with the French...except for those haughty waiters. ..

This is such bs. Go over there and talk to some of them. The ones that were there have never forgotten what the Americans did for them. What I would get sick of too is an American always having to bring that up after 70 years. I spend a lot of time over there and have never once been treated rudely by anyone. I also don't act like a know it all American, may have something to do with it. Sorry if I come across strong, but I find this to be a completely ignorant statement (in the literal sense of the term).

Way overpriced for a couple of ounces of plastic, imo.

  Ha! Barely know anything about video, but have played around enough and been close to enough people that DO know whats up. That, plus a fair amount of amateur time behind some manual film and digital still cameras.   Keep up the good work. Your shorts are getting better and better. Hope you're enjoying it!   As to gear: GH4 - the Panasonic, right? What did you use to edit: Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, or something else? What's your audio rig? Still, just out of curiosity - I can't give too many gear suggestions. Always curious though.   PS: the Instructors at college and their feedback along the way are probably helping the quality, but it's not the only reason. Good kit helps some, but really practice makes the difference. Putting the time in and taking lessons away from each shoot/edit - that's where the mastery is built. Keep it up!

      I just snorted an entire mouthful of Sprite up my nose. My coworkers thought I was dying......   Fitty may remember me stopping him at the NRA convention, have gave me the insider track on his Dragons Breath video. We talked for a bit, nice guy. Credit where credits due, he certainly didn't let 1 arm stop him from doing what he loves.

Good work. :up: Only thing is I have a little trouble with background noise and hearing people clearly. It's my hearing issue, not your editing, though. So if you want to make sure folks like me have an easy time hearing your voice, maybe turn down the background music a touch. Again, good work! :)

Excellent video, great job with the illustration on the side, might have added a border or shading around the image to separate it from the video some. Also good job with the smooth transition to replay in slow mo the problematic trigger control. Good editing too, short sweet and to the point.   I really like the newer intro - title screen, much cleaner easy to read/understand branding as well. Know you've been using it for a while, but its been a good change.   Better sound leveling in this video than I think I've noticed in the past. Also, good job on using adjusting to your available lighting in this vid - all while keeping the subjects lit/clear, but nothing exceedingly washed out. Also good use of bokeh, removing the emphasis on the background. Keep that up, it makes the subject "pop" and keeps me engaged with the information presented and not the trees/shrubs/grass/building/etc in the side/background.   Have you upgraded your video recording equipment?   Just curious, did you provide any instrucitons to the other shooters in the video about proper trigger control/placement? Or did they just have the simple requirement to shoot 2x3rd strings as fast as possible?

Awesome!

My bad, no did not know.    Wonder if a good sling would help those with that issue; an outward pressure can steady the rifle as well.

I don't hunt duck, but by the sounds of the gunshots while I'm deer hunting the area by the steam plant in Cumberland City I would say its rather full of ducks.  I am not sure if they are hunting at Guices creek rec area or maybe at yellow creek but I hear shots quite a bit.  Maybe someone who duck hunts in this area can chime in.

want frustrating, our F3s are 2.5-3 months... I'm getting F4s back as fast for some ... yeah, 2001, 14 months from payment to first bullet down the pipe..

Not bad, I didn't notice you supporting the rifle with your right hand, though it may of been off screen.  Also, Your cheek weld seemed loose; I didn't see your targets so hard to tell if any of that effected your shot placement.  Maybe a split screen showing trigger pull and shot placement to see what each trigger pull does.  I find that if someone counters incorrect trigger pull with a good rearward pull into the shoulder pocket and a good cheek weld it does not effect shot placement as much.  For those just learning shooting techniques however, trigger pull is definitely a good starting point.

Yep its all about VM right now. Server 2016 is brining virualized networking on board to give VMware a run for their money, but I think they're a little late in the game on that part. VMware has the entire market cornered with some awesome solutions

I'm surprised nobody has requested number 5,318,008. :D

Haynes Bottoms, Dover Bottoms and Big Sandy are all good. They are draw areas and I do not know when the draws are held.   Dave

Here's a good step-by-step guide for obtaining a C&R license. http://www.garandgear.com/cnr_ffl_03   The only hassle is that you have to keep a "bound book" logging all C&R eligible purchases and sales (even if you didn't purchase it using your C&R license). That can be an actual book (available thorugh places like Brownell's) or sheets of paper in a 3-ring binder.   So if you buy a Mosin from a TGOer, it's an in-state face to face private sale that doesn't have to pass through an FFL. But it's still a C&R eligible item so you have to logg the purchase and any subsequent sale in your book. In theory, the BATFE can come by and check your books, but I don't know if they have ever actually done that outside of investigations where they're pretty sure someone's using the C&R license to run a firerms business.

Sorry, my SDI (Sudden Divorce Index) has already reached critical mass for this month and may melt down any minute. :surrender:  :rofl: Looks like a good buy however.

Over the years my life in a state that is either burning or flooding brought me into an intimate relationship with a lot of evacuations - my wife and I even had to bug out ourselves in the face of a bad flood in 1986. Because of these experiences I’ve tried to have my bugout stuff all ready to go, including my AR’s. I should explain before getting started that my Army and LE experiences led me to consider my firearms as complete individual weapons systems, with little to nothing shared between the different guns. Each rifle has it’s own individual case, sling, supply of extra mags, spare parts, oil, tools, and so on. Each pistol is contained in its own case with extra mags, oil, rod, and mag loader. Not too long ago I woke up to a goodly flaw in my bugout planning - it finally dawned on me that I didn’t have a bugout rifle maintenance kit for each rifle. So here’s what I did to correct the problem. I really enjoy repurposing stuff, so I decided to make a bugout maintenance kit for each AR from extra items I already have on hand. The kit had to be compact, bare bones simple, inexpensive, effective, and it had to last long enough to clean the rifle several times. So to get started I had to decide what to put in the kit. After some study I decided that each kit had to have these things: Solvent Oil Patches Rags Pipe cleaners Bore brush and chamber brush Toothbrush Homemade bore pull A bore rod OK, I figured out what to put in the kit, so the next problem was to figure out what to contain this stuff in. A couple of years ago I bought a couple of wallets that were packed in very compact metal tins. These tins were flat, strong, and had enough room in them to hold many of the things I needed, so they became my kit containers. To store the oil and solvent, I needed two containers that would fit into the tin, last a long time, and wouldn’t be broken down by the oil and solvent. The answer was a couple of empty nose drop sprayers with the labels removed, straws discarded, and soaked in 90% Isopropyl Alcohol to sanitize them. They are about as close to ideal as you can get without having to buy a specialized container. They hold a good quantity of liquid, have a very useful pointy spout with a screw-on cap to prevent leaks, dispense liquid at a useful rate, and lay flat in the tin. Just what the doctor ordered. OK, what else? For oil I went to the tried-and-true Mobil 1 0W20 synthetic motor oil for lubrication, and M Pro-7 for my solvent. I actually prefer Ed’s Red, but I chose the M Pro-7 because it has a water base that doesn’t attack the container, and because it’s a darn good cleaner. (I think the Ed’s Red would eat away at the squirter, so I didn’t use it.) You may be aware that the Army and Armalite Corporation conducted a study and determined that the two most commonly available substances that can be used to clean and lube these rifles are synthetic motor oil and automatic transmission fluid. I’m sure that in a bugout situation I will always be in close proximity to an automobile, so I kept my quantities in the kits small. I had a couple of extra five dollar Walmart coated steel .22 rods, so I put one in each rifle case, essential for knocking out stuck cases, but primarily to use for cleaning the receiver and chamber (woops, next photo). For bore cleaning I made a chain pull out of a 6” piece of bead chain tied to some 20lb. monofilament fishing line, which was in turn attached to the cut-off lower hem of a T shirt. I’ve used these homemade pulls for a long time and they’re super. This photo shows the entire kit all laid out. For brushes, I included a .22 caliber nylon rifle bore brush for general bore cleaning, and a .45 caliber nylon rifle bore brush (or else a nylon chamber brush ) to double as a chamber brush and mandrel for rags used to clean out both ends of the bolt carrier. Then there is the double ended nylon gun cleaning toothbrush for getting into the barrel extension and just about everything else. For rags, I had some 8”x 8” storebought cleaning rags left over from a revolver class I’d done a couple of years ago, so I included four of them and four rough pipe cleaners and a dozen or thereabouts .22 caliber patches. Just for good measure I included some 12 gauge patches to augment the cleaning rags. I’d like to say I can get everything into the tins, but I can’t. The cleaning rags, chain pull, and toothbrush have to be kept in separate zip lok bag in the same compartment in the rifle case as the tin, usually rubber banded to it. And obviously I have to carry the bore rod in the case with the rifle. I figured I wouldn’t be able to get everything I needed into them, and sure enough couldn’t. But I’ll claim credit for a near miss on that one. They do a great job of protecting the oil and solvent dispensers. During the writing of this post I acquired another rifle but didn’t have any more tins. So I raided my tackle box for a plastic Plano lure box and found that the nose drop bottles wouldn’t fit, so I used some other bottles instead. Here’s a photo of it. Moral: More than one way to skin a cat. And here is a photo showing the two kits all set up and ready to go into their rifle cases. Hopefully this will give you an idea of their size and bulk. You'll note that both are wrapped in a good plastic bag to protect the gun cases from leaks. There are things I was tempted to do differently, like use commercial Bore Snakes and add grease to the ingredients. But I was trying to do this as cheaply as possible while including only the very essentials. Besides, I don’t intend to spend that much effort on the bore in a field situation. I’m a firm believer that 90% of field cleaning effort should be devoted to the action and only 10% to the bore, especially with the AR. And that’s where my chrome lined bores and chambers come in handy, IMHO. I’m sure my kits aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. Some will find them too simple or too basic, and some guys just don't like home made stuff. My Army experience was light weapons infantry, so I’m accustomed to cleaning rifles with the barest of barebones cleaning gear, and I had to practice economy of space in order to get everything into the rifle cases I want to bug out with. So I kept them very, very basic. After all, they are intended to get me through a rough spot in the road, not support the rifle for a long period of time. Anyway, these kits are what I believe will suit my needs if push comes to shove and I hope you might have gotten some ideas from them for your own use. Good luck. EssOne

  There's very little chance that i'll go to any event at one of these parks, it's just not my thing usually but if I ever do i'll be wearing my gun. As far as i'm concerned, the State law and AG's opinion says I can. Now i'm not going to boast or brag about it and I don't open carry but cities can't make up their own rules that conflict with state law. 

About cell phones.........LOL. I did take a few hours one day and sat in parking lot of neighborhood Walmart just to watch folks go in and out. It is no wonder why people get robbed and assaulted in parking lots such as Walmarts. About 90% of the folks going in and out had their faces stuck in a cell phone texting or reading and had zero clues what was going on around them. They make great targets out of themselves. I had to go to Opry Mills about a month ago to get something at the Mall. People are like Zombies walking around in the mall with their faces in their cell phones and actually bumping into each other and they would look up like hey watch were your going and then stick their nose back in the phone when it was their fault for bumping into the other person in the first place. What in the hell can be that important that people are so addicted to their Cell phones. My Daughter and Son in law come and visit and they have those hand free systems around their necks so they can answer the phone the second it rings. I told both of them to turn off their cell phones before coming into my house and let their voice mail get the calls or don't stop by. I cannot visit with cell phones ringing all the time. They didn't like it but they did it...................... :up: :up:

Not me!!!

Maybe we can get the Government to set up a group of "out of work hamburger flippers" as security for the theaters. We can call it TSA (Theater Security Administration). Oh never mind, they used them all up at the airports. :rolleyes:

This nothing to do with safety and everything to do with preventing people from sneaking in snacks.  It's all about the money.

Can anyone tell me which active shooter in any of the movie theater shootings was a woman? No where in the article did I see where they were searching men for guns yet every shooter has been male. Just goes to show how STUPID smart people think. I have no plans of ever going to another theater when I can watch the movies in the comfort of my living room and save a lot of money doing so..........jmho

Heaven for me. With Jesus's intersession.

I'm not leaving. If I had to leave the USA though, I guess Califorinia would be the closest place to go.

This is where my home and family is. I ain't leavin'! :usa:

Things couldn't get bad enough for me to leave. This is my country and I'm sticking with it come hell or high water.

There is none greater than the United States of America for me! And I have been around the world twice, talked to every one once..............

I ain't going nowhere. I'll fight to save this country.

I have a PT111 Millennium G2 and it is a fantastic pistol! For what the money its the best sub $400 pistol out there. Sent from my SM-G860P using Tapatalk
