Thought I'd put in a few updated pictures of my gremlins. Lola is 7 months old now (Husky mix) and Ace is just shy of a year (lab) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The video, although sad and disturbing, is no more graphic than a PG13 movie. A few muzzle flashes seen on a shaky video followed by a victim running before the camera image goes away. You do not see anyone dead, blood or any other type of gore.   I say this to encourage people to watch the video that haven't. This is a very, very rare look at an attack especially from the shooter's perspective.   What is truly disturbing is the fact that the typical group of race baiters are silent on this one. I bet we will see the murderer get exalted by those race baiters as they encourage others to do the same.

  A 9mm won't even hurt your nuts. A .45 will blow them plumb off

Pete,  if you truly are interested in WWII history seek out a German K98.  Mausers, of all varieties, were used by more countries in more configurations than any other bolt-action rifle in history. However, only an original German in 8mm will satisfy what i think you want.   Be wary of Russian captures...they often have the Waffenamts (Nazi Eagle mark) peened to obscure the swastika but the history is still there.  Maybe even more history depending on how you look at it.

Wait just a minute, you've crossed a line there bu.... wait, never mind, it's Bojangles that has the sweet potato pies made in heaven. Sorry, I got confused. YEAH, BURN IT TO THE GROUND!!!! They already are.

I like my NIB BCG, It just about wipes clean after shooting. I would check Palmetto state they have some really good deals going on right now.

Cant stop listening to Pink Floyd as of late. or Genesis for that matter

My Bersa has been a great gun but I know others who haven't had the same luck. For $235 I think it's worth a shot.

An old prospector shuffled into town leading a tired old mule.  The old man headed straight for the only saloon to clear his parched throat. He walked up and tied his old mule to the hitch rail.  As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, “Hey old man, have you ever danced?” The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, “No, I never did dance.  Never really wanted to.” A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, “Well, you old fool, you’re gonna dance now,” and started shooting at the old man’s feet. The old prospector — not wanting to get a toe blown off — started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet.  Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied. When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon. The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers. The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air.  The crowd stopped laughing immediately. The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly.  The silence was almost deafening. The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels. The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man’s hands, as he quietly said, “Son, have you ever kissed a mule’s ass?” The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, “No sir. But — I’ve always wanted to.” There are a few lessons for us all here: 1 – Never be arrogant. 2 – Don’t waste ammunition. 3 – Whiskey makes you think you’re smarter than you are. 4 – Always, always make sure you know who has the power. 5 – Don’t mess with old men; they didn’t get old by being stupid.

Just another good reason not to go to NY.    Not that it's right what happened to her but she should have known better than trying to board a plane in NY with a gun (even in 1985).

Almost 3 months old. All my brother's, ahh, cats in one bed. :) His girlfriend had just woken up. Heh, heh...she would be PISSED if she knew I had posted this pic. ;)

You just started a discussion that gives 9mm vs .45 vs .40 a run for it's money.

This is a tempest in a tea pot... Everybody knows Kerry and Obama are tyrant wannabees... It's nothin more than red meat for the children... The UN aint gonna take anyones guns and international treaties do not trump the Constitution....   leroy

There won't be another in M'boro until December 19-20. I guess I better go, who's gonna twist my arm for me?

You should be able to get a nice K98 sniper for that. And that would be awesome. :)

  Yes, Sam is going to be coming.

  anyone can make a lemon.  My 238 was broken out of the box.  I got it fixed.  I shot it hundreds of times.  It stayed fixed.  I trusted it after testing it thoroughly.  Your choices are your own... we sold a S&W at a loss after a repair when it cracked (revolver) ... didn't trust it.  When you get that "cant trust it" vibe, you sell it and move on, it happens.

  This.  My 1909 is absolutely the best made bolt gun I own.  Unfortunately most that are inexpensive are ruined.  It would take a very large infusion of cash from a  good buddy to talk me out of mine.  Its an amazing piece.   Its all matched, was in its original and estimated unfired condition until it turned 100, I decided to shoot it for its birth-year... even has a matched numbered bayo and muzzle cap etc.   I shoot it a couple of times a year now, and its always a treat.      You have to make a decision.   If you can't afford an all matched collector, find a good shooter.  Mismatched guns are not trash... it means they were taken down and rebuilt by someone with intent to USE them ... they tossed the bad parts and consolidated them into working, quality weapons.  Many of them were used after being rebuilt .. they have a history.   The best thing you can do is educate yourself (which you are doing, but I mean in depth here) so you can go to a gun show or auction/estate/etc and pick off something that has been overlooked.  Learn what to look for in a shooter (barrel in good condition) and what you can do to a shooter (recrown and counter-bore, barrel replace, etc).  Learn what to look for in a fake (less of an issue with cheaper offerings).   Learn about what makes one worth owning, and what its value should be.    Try gunboards.com ... the people there know a ton about these guns.  Once you know what to look for, you can spot some good deals at shows and such... but you generally don't have time to make the decision before another person does the same, so you gotta know the answer on a gun cold when you go looking...  tons of people will be doing the same thing, scouting for the gem in the pile.   Also consider the ammo angle.   I make my own -- there just isn't much for the 1909 that isn't expensive -- the 8mm is a little more friendly but even so you could pay a little more on the gun if you made your own ammo cheaply. 

I don't think that Nashville city attorney's legal reasoning is up to par from a plain reading of the law and after reading the AG's opinion.  In my opinion, he is twisting some words to tell his bosses what they want to hear.  Also, I don't think he is the city prosecutor.   Like I said, if you conceal your handgun you shouldn't have any problems if you attend a venue at that location.

It is a dream at the range.  It might be a tough sell to someone who's hands look like a bunch of bananas but if you can hold it comfortably, it feels great, very low felt recoil.   And the 938 is only marginally bigger.  Might not quite do ankle carry, but I dunno... its fractions of an inch larger for the exact same thing in 9mm.  The 9, however, has a moderate recoil and is not fun for box after box.  50 rounds in that 9 and I am about done for the day.  The 380 I could shoot 500 without any pain.

You may have heard on the news about a Southern California man who was put under 72-hour psychiatric observation. You see they found he owned 100 guns and had 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured a secret escape tunnel. So, by Southern California standards, someone owning 100,000 rounds is considered "mentally unstable." In Michigan, he'd be called "The last white guy still living in Detroit." In Arizona, he'd be called "an avid gun collector." In Arkansas, he'd be called "a novice gun collector." In Utah, he'd be called "moderately well prepared," but they'd probably reserve judgment until they made sure that he had a corresponding quantity of stored food." In Kansas, he'd be "A guy down the road you would want to have for a friend." In Montana, he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy." In Idaho, he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate." In Georgia, he'd be called "an eligible bachelor." In North Carolina, Virginia, W.Va., Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida and South Carolina he would be called "a deer hunting buddy." And here in Texas; he'd just be "Bubba, who's a little short on ammo."

He's got the face for it.

Here's our two "kids" Maggie & Dooley.

I'm in.  I will be out of the country and the time zone is 7 hours ahead so I will just have to let mine autodraft.  That's no problem for me.  It will probably do better than I would anyway.

Here's one for $95 and free shipping from a reliable vendor:   http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=XAIMBCGNIBBDG&name=AIM+AR%2fM16+.223%2f5.56+NiB+9310+MPI+Bolt+Carrier+Group&groupid=723     FWIW.

Man, popeyes and bojangles.... tough choice. Bojangles is on the way home so it goes down more than Popeyes because it's across town. Never had the Sweet Potato pies, will check that out next time.

I was going to post my thoughts but CommsNBombs got here first. I can not agree with you more. I did see on Fox News that he purchased the firearm legally like that mattered the media sucks they (report) what they want to how they want to

She told me that if I picked anyone up that I had better hope that it's a dude.

Some desktop support phone reps sit by me. Yesterday one of them was on a call. I believe the image below says what he wanted to say.

Nothing like the gov't rolling out a $100 million project that took an uneducated, dirt worshipping caveman a month to figure out a way to destroy it with 40 lbs of HME. Even with the UIK upgrade and the rpg net those things are death traps. If I had the choice of a HMMWV for a farm truck or whatever you would use it for for civilian purposes I'd save the $$$ and put a turret on a Polaris or an old Jeep. Especially an old GI one... Buying a vehicle assigned to an 19 year old PVT for 10 years is like buying a rent-a-car or marrying a hooker. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

The Maxxpros are by far the best. Our RG31 took a gnarly blast so I won't completely discredit it but they drive like a bus. That Maxxpro is like rolling around in an Escalade. All the bells and whistles. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

QFT!

  If Toby doesn't stop acting strange...maybe you'll reconsider and take his spot?

The use of firearms for self defense is not a basic human right, it is a privilege given to us by our fellow man and that privilege can easily be taken away by those who gave it to us. A right is something that cannot be legally taken away which firearms can and are being taken away. No one can legislate away a man's right to self defense but they can take away that man's privilege of using a firearm for self defense.   Self defense is a basic human right but the tool you use is not part of it.   Illegal aliens, even if they are murdering psychopaths here illegally, still have the right to self defense but their right to use a firearm in THIS country should not, and is not, allowed. When they decide to break the law by entering the country illegally they forfeit all rights afforded to citizens of this country. Now if they want to enter legally then they should have all the same rights as any other person here legally.

The rights expressed in the Constitution are human rights that are possessed by all people; we just happen to live in a country that chose to express that in a very concrete way by making it the foundation of our government.  It's interesting to see people who claim to believe in the right of people to own firearms for self-protection so quick to deny that right to certain people in our society.

We will miss you Joe. It's always fun to shoot with you. Good luck at the World Shoot if I don't see you before then. You are a great ambassador for our sport. Show them what we got in Middle Tennessee.

  Berated? Never; I've met more than one gun shop owner who would gladly show you their pocket carry gun and it was a KELTEC 32 caliber.... Whatever works for you is what works best!

There for a while I was wishing I'd make it down to shoot with you boys, but sounds like I might be better off here! Wish I could go, but have prior obligations here...

  Or perhaps a life ender just sayin....   Anytime I've purchased a gun that happened to have a mag disconnect it was disconnected... Look at almost all auto's and most all do not have this feature....

it's alright 'till you get some azzhole in the group like Caster..........oh wait.  

I do think that's a smarter investment than believing the "official" narrative from the msm and politicians.

The truth is non existent these days! I too have read many conflicting accounts with the biggest being the AR never left the trunk. That was stated by one of the first Leo's on scene. Problem is it didn't fit the narrative. Personally I doubt the public will never know the truth about Newtown, ever.

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

I found the video the shooter made. I got part to where he first brandishes the firearm and thought "why are you going to watch this sh*t that he wants you to see?" and just turned it off.   Low life sack of sh*t. 

I take a slightly different position. Legalities aside, if you having a few drinks makes you unsafe around a firearm, you were already unsafe around one independent of the other. It is best to find out which and eliminate it from your life.

Not one of mine, I just thought it was funny. This would make anyone "flip the switch!" Great thread WW001!
