Ordinarily I would agree that the root cause is all the talk about more gun control. But this time is different.   I don't think I've ever seen this country rolled up in a ball as bad as it is right now. Our criminal justice system is coming apart at the seams, inner city riots are the order of the day, Our President, aided by his Attorney General, the Director of the FBI, and the Mayor of New York have succeeded in convincing the criminal element that the cops have no backing, race relations have taken their hardest hit in decades, cops are being slaughtered all over the country and mass murders are rearing their ugly heads again, the most prominent candidate for President in one of our political parties is being openly considered an irresponsible liar and mistrusted by both parties, we're entering into a deal with an enemy nation that half of the politicians in the country denounce as being suicidal - all at a time when our military is being downsized, and worst of all the rule of law is seen as being incinerated on the altar of prosecutorial discretion at the Presidential level............and on and on and on.   I think this country is worried, really worried, and it's showing up in gun sales.

  Absolutely. If someone asked me why I carry a big, full sized pistol I'd tell them "because I can't find a holster for an AR 15, that's why." Ditto on the rifle behind the seat too. I'd do it if I could figure a way to keep it from being stolen. I don't think a person who sees storm clouds on our national horizon is being pessimistic, just realistic. IMHO.

Recently Dontray Mills was charged with 55 counts of purchasing guns with phony Identification and reselling them. According to all the internet resources I can find, he somehow entered into a plea deal with Federal prosecutors whereby he would plead guilty to one charge only and receive nothing more than one year of probation, which was hunky dory with the Federal judge who (mis)handled the case. The total penalties for the charges he got flushed were (10 years per charge) 550 years and 14 million dollars in fines.  (Some accounts say he resold these guns to felons and others prohibited from owning guns, but I can't verify that factually. I wouldn't fall over dead to find out it's true, I just can't document it.)   OK my liberal friends, go ahead and ask me why I won't support new gun legislation as being a serious effort to deter crime. I double-dog-dare you.   http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2015/09/robert-farago/why-are-gun-control-advocates-up-in-arms-about-illegal-gun-dealers-probation/

  Whoa...good point, mine would be out of the fight first broken nail, but I'd never call her a liability...           ...to her face. :hiding:

This is pretty much the same as asking if I would keep my wife.  Asset or liability?  What if it came down to a choice between my dog or my wife?

I changed it last night.  Should work fine now.

Sounds like they got in a good bit of trigger time here. :lol:

  Bingo. What I carry is considered a full size duty handgun, in the past I have considered downsizing for convenience and comfort of carry but especially in the last year i've decided to keep carrying what I have with the best ammo I can load it with. I know it and shoot better with it than any other handgun I have and even though many say I don't need that caliber to do the job, as far as handguns and handgun ammo goes, there's no argument that .45 [b]"WONT"[/b] get the job done. With the environment today I would sling my MAK90 over my shoulder and carry 2 extra 30 round mags if I could without getting shot myself by someone freaking out thinking I was about to go on an active shooting spree. I would put it behind my truck seat but i'm paranoid that it would get stolen. There will likely come a time when i'll just avoid certain places all together because it's going to just get worse, I certainly don't see it getting better. 

It is all part of life and my struggles are not unique to me. A lot of newer members have no clue as I have not talked a lot about my family or my childhood in a while. Mostly because I severed all ties with my family, except my wife and my son and his family, six years ago. It was the hardest but the best thing I have done for myself, my wife and our life together. But I concur it seems like I have been through a lot but I am no different than a lot of members in their own struggles. Everyone has their own struggles in life, I am no different than any of them except I don't mind talking about what I have been through. And I don't talk about what I have been through looking for sympathy. I do it so hopefully others can realize they are not alone in their personal struggles. And if there is anyone, but especially veterans, that feel overwhelmed because of their struggles in life know you are not alone and that people do care.

Be prepared is on everyone's mind, I think!

It would be neat to have one . As far as Glocks being ugly , my Glock and my Toyota are ugly to a lot of people yet they keep running and running :cool:

Yea, we need a special place to keep those ugly pistols from messing up the main handgun forum. :) Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Kerry should be horse whipped. I will never submit to this crap

So my wife went to the post office. And as she was walking in she heard a kitten screaming. She mentioned it and a mail worker said it was in her husbands truck somewhere under the hood. Apparently the kitten has been under the hood for two days as he went to work. They acted like the kitten would eventfully die and quit screaming. Well not with my wife around she made them pop the hood so she could find the kitten. She found it and brought it home. Not sure if we have a new family member yet but we will make sure it never suffers again. How the hell can ANYONE drive around for two days listening to a 2-3 week old kitten screaming? Takes a special kind of sicko to do that. It is safe, sound and in loving arms now.

When Kasey was a lot younger she loved sleeping in her dog house during major thunderstorms. Since she has gotten older it can thunder 20 miles away and she is scratching at the door wanting inside. It can be sun shining at the time but by the way she follows me around the house I know a storm is coming. Most times within an hour it is raining buckets out side.

  That's exactly what a racist homophobe would say!   :hyper:

I only hope they will sell it as a stripped lower too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My hound probably considers me as a liability, except during thunderstorms.

Avoid tupperware pistols! :rofl:

I don't want to turn a $400 forum into a $200 forum by having a stippling, machining, slide cutting sub-forum though.   :taunt:

I love it, just like the bible verse numbers that company was putting on optics they were selling the military a few years back.

A good dog is God's blessing to man. If dogs were not an asset Primitive people would not have domesticated them.

My hound can sleep thru anything but hear a refrigerator door open during a tornado.

I fixed it for you. Hey, props to S&W for being the first realize Kimber had at least one good idea.

Sounds like an Irish Priest to me.

I've got 3 or 4 of the QMS triggers in my AR's, but only just installed the ACT in my friends. That's why I ordered one today. We're going to his farm tomorrow to shoot and I'll be able to shoot his. Even the cheaper QMS is much better than milspec, so I'm sure I'll fall in love with the 4.5 lb ACT.

I like to characterize it as IDPA scoring with IPSC no-rules.  Generally no cover/concealment rules, reload anytime, any where, drop mags with ammo.  Detailed rules are on our Facebook page.

Robbers are getting smarter, go where there is disposable income and sheep.

Makes you wonder if they are trying to push a competitor out or if they are trying to dump inventory for something new. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I will also add, be meticulous. Keep everything and make copies. I just got my stamped approval yesterday (after five months!) for my suppressor. I made a copy of the stamped approval paper and put it the buttstock compartment of my rifle in case Barney Fife shows up.

Last week, I added my 3rd Romanian AES10B to the line up. I sourced it from the same gentlemen that sold me my 2nd AES10B. In addition to the rifle, we struck a deal for three Romanian rear loading 75 round drums in exchange for some ammunition. He was overjoyed to complete the transaction as the funds he received from the sale allowed for him to complete the restoration process of his beloved 1968 Chevrolet C10! Without further ado, my AES10B's!

Dude I just got back from the dealership...we are trading my truck in and I'm taking over my wife's 4runner. I got in it and she said, "before you even think about doing some dumb $hit to this, you are only allowed one bad habit at at time. Remember the Jeep??" Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I've come to the conclusion that I hate single point slings but I feel like this one will serve me well when riding a four wheeler. This is a hunting gun and I just wanted something to hang on to the thing while riding. Once I get off and into the stand I just undo the little clip and leave the sling on. Should work out just fine.   Also to give a little further review on the upper I have had zero malfunctions with factory ammo. It doesn't seem to like my reloads though. I haven't diagnosed exactly why but they seem to either not go into battery completely or are very tight and hard to extract. I had an issue before with OAL but this issue I believe is happening at the case head. I suspect when converting the 5.56 brass I did not completely form the head. I have heard this issue is hit or miss with Lee dies. I am waiting on my bullet puller to come in so I can try again.   I have also discovered the need for a better trigger........

I had a Protech Rockeye, had being the operative word since it is missing (lost or stolen). I liked the Rockeye, but this Adamas compared to the Protech is like night and day. Benchmade just seems like a heftier build. Maybe I am comparing apples to oranges but I have to say this Benchmade would definitely be deemed as my "everyday" knife...

Just until you and the dog are starving and you start looking like a big bag of gravytrain :yum:

My wife goes to a Tupperware party every third Friday night I can PM you the info if you would like me to HAHAHA

Seems every time we all have to move the right to pass some azzhat in the left lane they are texting or talking on the phone. If you can’t multitask; get out of that left lane.

And here is the little fellow with his perpetual milk mustache.

Some people don't care for cats. To be honest, I would have removed it from my vehicle, not for the cat's benefit, but to keep it from soiling or damaging my vehicle. A house cat and a mouse or rat are in about the same league to me.   I find it odd that a lot of people give pets the same credence today, if not more, than they give to their fellow humans.

Has Tennessee passed a law as to where the state won't prosecute, awe never mind I don't want any warning points today.

Cool.  With the roadkill law, it can be a twofer!  Sriracha...it makes buzzard better. "I'll have the 'turf'n'dump' platter, ma'am!"

  The worst that can happen to a legal permit holder is an aggravation from having to show your HCP to the police, assuming you are behaving like a normal human being.   There is about a 99% chance no one will notice.   I make a game of looking for them when out and about for fun, but most people wouldn't notice if you were stark nekkid and on fire ... their head is jammed up a cell phone or they have the observation skills of a rock.   Given cell phone, tablets, and other whatzzits people stuff in their pockets or on their belts etc, no one notices, for real, hardly ever.   If you work at it, minor printing simply won't be detected.  It would take a massive gun totally outlined to catch the attention of the 1% that actually is looking around and observant.  And of that 1%... most are fellow carriers.

I don't carry with the suppressor though, unless I can find the right holster, lol

According to the left, they can round up the 250+ million guns in this country, but they can't round up 11 million illegal immigrants. :screwy:

Look what dad dug out of his safe today during our visit.... Pretty cool! They sure we're cheaper back then too!

Windows 10? Boy you guys are really obsolete. My Windows program says Windows 95. You're 85 editions behind me. :rofl:

They aren't bankrupt yet? Darn. I wouldn't let cheaper than dirt ship me ammo for free. Caving to political correctness and pulling their guns from the site when the panic happened, then deciding PC be dammed and charging $80 for pmags? CTD can choke on it. Sent from the backwoods
