Saw this and it made me laugh. Thought I would share it with everybody. [URL=http://s196.photobucket.com/user/kahrman/media/5566252C-C85E-4211-894E-8A5FEABFC97F_zpsm5pcwuzo.png.html][/URL]

  I probably would have fired back "somebody has to take the ugly ones".

People. They're the worst. - OS

I'd get one that plugs in.  I don't use mine a lot, but I've never had an instance where cordless would have been better. 

All this flag nonsense is really out of hand.I say if you can not even respect our countries flag maybe you should remove yourself to a different country.When I graduated in 1976(Whoa the bicentennial year no less)there was an American flag in every room in the school,and we said the allegience every morning when we were in the lower grades.Who are we offending other than ourselves-America get a grip already.If you don't like it here leave already.

My grandma said many moons ago... "if you have to tell someone how smart you are, you're probably not". 

Simple Newtonian physics states that for every semi intelligent human there is an equal an opposite moron.

Ok fellows, sometimes you see and read things that cause you to just step back, take a deep breath and forget some things that you've seen. Let me share some things here.   If you live outside the city limits and can safely do so, you may shoot coyotes off your deck with the following restrictions:   1) Shotgun: Loaded with 1 single ball (slug) or #4 shot or smaller (5,6,7,8). "T" shot or smaller (BB). The use of "buckshot" of any size (0,00,000,1,2,3,4) is strictly prohibited. 2) Centerfire: All calibers are legal. Soft nose, Hollow point and SST (polymer tips) are permitted. Full jacket ammo is strictly prohibited. 3) Muzzleloaders (see shotgun above) 4) Archery equipment. 5) The use of any artificial light to locate or aid in the taking of game is prohibited. Night scopes may not be used.   The placing of any food item or bait is strictly prohibited unless removed at least 10 days prior to hunting. IE: If throwing turkey parts in your yard to draw a coyote out of the woods for the purpose of shooting it, that is baiting and prohibited.   Legal hunting hours for coyotes is 1/2 hour before "legal" sunrise, to 1/2 hour after "legal" sunset. Shooting or attempting to shoot coyotes at night under lights is verboten!   A lot of regs boils down to what the officer thinks or believes what your intentions were/are. For example; if your throw out animal parts at night to attract a coyote under lights to shoot it....you may have a problem. If however, that coyote attacks or attempts to attack your pets or live stock, you may shoot to kill with whatever weapon ammo you have handy and day or night. Again, what was your "intent"? You have letter of the law and "intent".   It's published in many resources that the best cure for Coyote, Coon, possum and skunk problems is to keep pet foods inside away from wildlife. I've yet to hear of a coyote coming up on peoples porches to eat dog food. They are way too shy for that.   If you are hunting or shooting the coyote on "your" property, a license is not required. However, all other requirements must be met. If hunting, a Hunters Safety Certificate may be required. If defending your pets or stock no certificate is required.   Pick up a copy of the Tennessee Hunting guide or visit http://tnwildlife.org.   Be safe and happy hunting.   Dave

I think it's incredibly awesome you have such a sense of humor about it. Kings to you buddy. ....but guys, it's not funny. Don't be making jokes. You realize the man can only hold one boob at a time? That's no laughing matter. :)

Music City Tactical Shooters (www.mctsclub.com) will be hosting a beginner level 3 gun match this Sunday, August 30th at 1pm. There will be an emphasis on using all 3 guns on all stages, with minimal shotgun reloading. The idea being that it's more important to be familiar and safe with all 3 weapons when running a course of fire. Shotgun reloading can be practiced at home (WITH DUMMY ROUNDS ONLY!!!) to build speed and proficiency. Maximum distance with rifle will probably be around 100 yds shooting small auto-reset poppers, so iron sights and 1x magnification red dots shouldn't be a problem. All shooting divisions welcome (AKA bring whatever guns you want to run as long as they are in safe working order). .223/5.56 up to .30 caliber rifle, 9mm up to 45ACP pistol and 12 gauge shotgun birdshot loads #6 - #8 size. NOTE: STEEL SHOT, STEEL CORE and/or BI-METAL BULLETS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE USED ON STEEL TARGETS. This will earn you a disqualification, and potentially money out of pocket to replace damaged steel targets. Round Count: 75 rifle, 75 pistol and 75 birdshot will insure you get through the match.    Set up will begin at 8am, shooters meeting at 12:30pm, shots down range at 1pm. Hope to see everyone out at the range. Directions are found at the Website listed above.

  We all know in our hearts that two wrongs will never equal a right... We can't sink to their level as when we do we have truly lost all that is worthwhile....

  I guess Lanza just dumped the 154 spent .223 casings inside the school out of his pockets. Not to mention the rest of the live rounds still in the various AR mags. Oh yeah, and the Bushmaster Model XM 15 found next to his body. And the 3-11 wounds in each of the bodies.   There. I "waded in".   But of course, we didn't really go to the moon either and Elvis is still alive.   - OS

My apologies to the members of this board , I'm just in a bad mood. I don't mean to spread such bigotry, there's just too much government cheese for this kind of crap in my world.

I’m armed and trained; but I don’t think I could have saved either of those victims. I don’t have the protections I had as a Police Officer. I absolutely would have had no issue with getting involved to save someone, but by the time I would have been sure of what I was seeing; he would have been shooting.

So a gay black guy shoots a white woman. How will they spin this? Hmmmm. Screw it! Let's just beat the drums for gun control again. :ugh: :ugh:

  I get what you're saying and yeah, I've looked at people and told myself I'm going to do what I can to know where they are in the store or wherever...but I just don't like the line of thought that having people carrying is the cure all to these events from going the way they do with the "if only there was someone carrying" mantra.  My gun is for my safety, I'm too worried about what I'm doing and securing myself to actively think about others.  Not trying to be cold blodded or uncaring, just realistic.

Tennessee black panther sightings.

What? Y'mean the M38 jeep has been retired?

Honestly I would prefer this not be here as it serves no purpose besides watching innocents die and giving this moron what he wanted, views. No offense to you sir.

One in my hand and the other in my mouth?....lol

I like your incubator idea.  I followed peejman's advice and put the firing pin assembly in the oven on low heat and it worked like a charm to get the cosmoline out of there.

So my dad calls me yesterday and says "I'm going to drop something by your house" and stops by while I'm at work and leaves this with the wife for me: New in the box Weatherby Mark V he bought back in the 80's. Never fired. He's had some significant health setbacks this past year, so he's thinking about things like this more now. I put it in the back of the safe, so maybe one day one of my sons will get it... never fired... in it's original box....... MAYBE! =) QUESTION THOUGH: I've never had anything this pretty before, do you guys think a silicone gun sock will hurt the finish? I put it in one so that it maybe doesn't get bumped in the safe.... it's tight in there.

This is going to be a long list.

Whatever you do, keep the damn thing away from guns! :wall: :wall: :wall:   There are three enemies of guns.....rust, politicians, and Bubba with a dremmel tool. :D

I like to look at Facebook to see what the ballistic experts are saying. People are dumb.

  Would they?    From what I read, the guy walked up, and shot the reporter & camerman.  Your logic presupposes there are people carrying, and actively searching out threats to others and not themselves like some kind of security element.  I know when I'm out and about, my priorities for safety are me and anyone with me, and anyone else who happens to be there secondary.  I'm also focused on what I went out to do and have my attention divided by that at some level.  I can't say I would have seen this coming and acted before the shooter carried out his plan.  Maybe as a reaction, but it wouldn't have saved those gunned down today.   Just my thoughts on the subject...condolences to the family and friends of the victims. 

Maybe he listened to Farrakhan?

  A crumbled up body in the middle of the highway is a real traffic hazard too. Don't be a pussy. Shoot yourself like a man :)

If you're not defending people, pets, or livestock from an immediate threat, you're hunting.

I bet they stop doing that and pay a little more attention. That, or hire a camera assistant for situational awareness.

Something feels hokey about the video. The guy walks up and points his gun and no one notices. I can only assume the weapon wasn't charged and he pulls back to load it. Then he fires multiple times and the gal takes off running. I understand fight or flight adrenaline but most humans will fall especially an injured lady. Not making light or calling bs on a situation where someone obviously died, it just feels off. Either way, sad. Very sad. When do we white folk riot? We're this the other way around.....oh never mind.

What was your SOP in the 90’s for a suicidal person pulling a gun on you? In the 80’s ours was to shoot them if they were putting us or others in immediate danger of death or great bodily harm.

Just heard he shot himself. Figured he would. Hope he rots in Hell!

Wow to that CCP guy!

I can do it. I drive a truck OTR and am coming up from Atlanta tomorrow evening through Chattanooga and back to Spring Hill.

  Why not use your expertise to help instead? After all, is that not the exact intent of targeted forums?

Current uparmorded Vees are going nowhere. You can buy all the soft skin Vees you want on iron planet.

Thats a good one. I look forward to my youtube notification when i see that you have posted a new video.

  I won't answer anything technical because I just started on the same press last night (congrats by the way). But, I had the same thing and mostly from brass that had been crimped and it was shaving a tiny piece off as I press in the new primer. I could feel that it was a little bit tighter when pressing the primer in, but not hard. I've just been keeping an eye on the area around the area where the new primer comes in at the shell plate and removing any grit or slivers of brass. I am not trying to go fast at all, hell I am pulling each case out and making sure the primer is inserted correctly even though it feels good. I'm just making sure each step is correct until I get used to the feel. There are tons of people on here who know reloading inside and out, they'll be along soon to answer in more depth and proper terminology, I'm still learning it all myself.

You want to find suckers?  Go to a local flea market or a public auction.  PT Barnum was right!  You talk about low gun information crowd.  I have witnessed some stupid transactions!  Either they were felons, or just dumb idiots!    I have been on the other end, scored yard sale finds.  Divorce yard sales are the best! 

  Decent quality AR stuff is so cheap right now it really makes sense to just stash a couple of basic rifles on general purposes. Catch the right sale on PSA and you can do complete blem lower and upper and have a purt decent $500 AR without having to "build" anything using the "Freedom" line, and not much more even with the "Premium". And of course even cheaper with the PTAC line, which will kill zeds pretty well too. :)   - OS

  I'm Oh Shoot or OhShoot pretty much everywhere on gun related forums.   Any brand name M16 type carrier should be fine. PSA name brand one is fine usually call them "premium" I guess, though they sell some that aren't PSA branded. Bolt failure is fairly rare even with cheapos, but of course it does happen, but it also happens with expensive ones too.   Absolutely no reason to get a SIG or Shockwave brace unless you're gonna use it against the shoulder though (so make sure Mad Max Kingery ain't watching when you do ;))   - OS

I have a 36 that has never failed me yet. I had an XDs 45, and I couldn't hit the target nearly as well as with my 36. It was just too small, and didn't fit my hand. For ME, the 36 is perfect.   I am kinda jonesin' for a 30S, though... I've grown to like the 36 slide on the 30 frame.

Let's compare this to the great AR scare of a couple of years back. "Newtown" we'll call it.   Remember the run of the mill $2k ARs, $100 Pmags, and dollar a pop plinking ammo?   Today, $500 will get you a serviceable AR. $10-12 for mags. Ammo has dropped by more than half. It is how a free market works. This doesn't mean it's time to go into your bunker.   The best run companies will survive, and some lesser companies will be purged.   I guess this is all a matter of perspective, and depends on your definition of "SHTF".   Being prepared for an emergency is a good plan whether traveling, fishing, investing, or just simply living life. If you are prepared, a great emergency turns out to be a minor inconvenience.

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

Well, you certainly know how to make someone LOOK. :rofl:

Where's gecko45 when you need him. He knew how to deal with these situations.

Looks very grippy. The beauty of plastic framed guns, especially Glocks, is that you can really modify the grip to suit most anyone if you don't mind taking a 400.00 gun and turning it into a 200.00 gun.
