Opus. It looks like the beak of a certain cartoon penguin. :)

I have a 3 cylinder Yugo, only 2 run but she's a beast downhill! 

The issue was the toggle switch - it was set for manual cycling.

Here's a handy bit of trivia...you can't raise the grenade launching sight if the valve is in the semi-auto position.

A cop in Kansas did something beyond nice for a guy that seems to really deserve a hand up.

  What the Titans need is a winning coaching staff.  They don't have it.

So Im in college at Nossi getting my bachelors degree in videography and this semester I have music video class. This is my first project for the class and I don't think its bad so I thought Id share it...lol     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtcJv8SaHg4

People can't drive for shit. As a motorcyclist I welcome self driving cars.

  I believe McDonald vs Chicago is quite clear on the matter of firearm ownership, and specifically that of handguns, which was what the suit was about in the first place.   - OS

  we need a DISLIKE button, for real!!

  I know of no case law, federal or state of TN, where conviction for such would be found without direct proof of knowledge of such.   That's why stings always include, "hey I don't live in your state, but...", or "I can't buy a gun from a dealer, but", or "I'm only 17, but..."     Well, federal includes "reasonable cause to believe", so it's a bit more wiggle room for prosecution. As far as the minor part, TN law requires "Intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly", so I suppose "recklessly" might be about the same as "reasonable cause to believe".   But as per above comment, AFAIK burden of proof is about the same for both cases.   - OS

Watched an episode of Vice last night on HBO with POTUS in a federal prison talking to inmates about mandatory minimums, pleading out and their situation in general.   Was one of the most respectable moments I've seen of him in 6 years. Story led into what happens after prison and precisely the situation that the guy in this video ended up in.  People fuck up sometimes and now they are punished for life.  POTUS brought up that thing about people not being able to ask if you were a criminal on applications, but allowing it during an interview, because most ex-cons are shut out of the opportunity from the get go as soon as they check off that box on the application.  At least this way, they have a chance to explain during an interview.

I think a lot of people buy them just as a status symbol and not for the real reason for which they were made. I have a guy across the street from my place that has a black Hummer. I am thinking that what he paid for the tires and wheels he had put on it could pay for a great college education in many colleges. I have never seen it dirty or driven in the rain.................. :shrug:

What's up with all of the propaganda, Comrade?

My neighbor has a white one, looks cool but sorta pointless. Unless your going to actually take it out and not worry about scratches

  Are you familiar with The Internet? ;)   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTkBRztuG60   (sounds like good call Caster)

Sure glad I don't need a new truck. They cost more now days than I paid for any one of my first 3 houses and I had some pretty nice houses............... :shrug:

  If you could be encouraged to put an order in before they get up and running, I am certain every dollar will help them tremendously right now.  I am tempted to order another holster myself just because.

  Over a Year later and I am now convinced more than ever that this zombie thread is the Revenge of TankerHC!   And for those newer members to TGO..., TankerHC was a flaming A-Hole who just didn't know when to back away from the keyboard.  The SOB would private message you and attack your thread comments.   Then came "The Rapture" where TGO David banished TankerHC to pre-tribulation where he now experiences hardships, disasters, famine, war, pain, and suffering.   And forthwith Peace came upon TGO.    And civil discussions on firearms and the topics of the day resumed......    ...... which gets me back on topic.   I'm not a big fan of cheap 1911s.

As some of you may or may not have know, I moved to bowling green for school. Needless to say, everyone convinced me to get a dorm. So I did. And the guy never showed up to I got the place all to myself. And I must say, its working out great. Even though we have a dumb policy of no guns or alcohol in the dorms. But at least I did find a way to make everyone who comes over jealous. Not to mention, since I cook, tons of people stop by to see what I am cooking. And my group in history is all former servicemen. They and the professor got a kick out of my background on my laptop.

My father passed away a couple of months ago, and he had a few guns that my mother wanted me to take. He did not have a large collections, and I have no idea of the worth of the ones he did have. However, here are a couple that are "priceless" to me. S&W 38. I'm not sure what the actual model is. Dad always said it was a Chief's Special. It was my grandfather's gun, and dad said he bought it the first year they came out with the nickel guns in this model, whatever it is. I have no idea if that story and description is accurate. I'm sure I can date it with the serial number. This is the first gun I ever shot, and it was without ear plugs. I think I still suffer from that.

I have not seen a serial number on this gun, but I have not pulled the stock off or anything to look real hard. The story on this gun is that my grandfather was a car dealer in Clarksdale MS and Paris TN. Apparently, he did some work on this old man's car who couldn't pay. My grandfather would have just done it for free, but back in those days, honest people didn't want a hand out. This rifle was the only thing of any value that this man had to offer in trade. According to my father, it looked like hell and wasn't worth anything close to the cost of the work, but my grandfather took more out of respect for the other man. My father was in junior high or high school at the time, and my grandfather just gave the gun to him. He took the gun to school to refinish the stock in shop class. Nothing has been done with the metal, and it looks like a typical old gun of that era.

Neat! How's the accuracy? I ran a CNC ( larger version ) for 15 yrs. One had a 54ft table. Handy machine to have around. Can't count the times I wish I had one in my little shop. Have fun..........

Mike is a great guy and a true asset to the TGO community.

  Actually for those of us here it'd be more about learning how to do it and then putting it to a practical application until satisfied with the knowledge and experience. 

Even near 2 years later, the Tisas brings em out of the woodwork. :rofl:   This thread. :rofl: I love it.

Me. I love the finger groves on a 19 Gen 4. Guess I go against the crowd. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just feel compelled to reply to this thread since it is a piece of TGO history.  And for the record, I have a feeling that the OP was guilty of not letting the truth get in the way of a good story.  Multiple promises of pictures and video, complaints to Bud's, and then decides to keep it because it took him a couple of weeks to get around to sending it back?  I call BS on it.

Hey that's a pretty cool clock, why don't you bring it by the White House sometime.

Good god that thing is ugly.  Not the gun but what it is laying on... :rofl:

Just add a little to it.... This is from my spot in MD. Sika Stag..... Oh Yeah!! Can't wait!

Just wanted to mention that if anyone feeds birds like i do you might want to check out Walmart price on black oil sunflower seeds at $16.75 a 40# bag as of 9/25/15.  That to me was a GOOD price I use a lot of sunflower seed.  I'm not going to tell ya how many feeders I have around here you'd laugh and say I'm crazy. LOL  Not to mention the deer,, turkey,  and all the other critters I feed.   Almost forgot to tell ya that was the walmart in Sevierville...

Feed the birds!!!!! Gosh that is the story of my life....... :rock:  I feed birds and Squirrels year around. I feed Hummingbirds all Summer and i have 10 HB feeders up. I had birds up till about 5 days ago and all at once they are gone again for another year. I will leave the feeders up for any late migrating birds for about 2 more weeks and then will switch over to the seed feeders for my winter time birds. I will put up about 15 extra long tube feeders up for the birds and 6 box feeders for the Squirrels. I have already bought 100 lbs of bird seed and 100 pounds of wild critter mix. Later on when the acorns fall I have a place I can go with my shop vac and pick up about 100 lbs of acorns to mix into the critter mix. That should get me into mid February depending on how hard the Winter is. Except for my Kasey girl, wild critters are my biggest enjoyment. They are a pleasure and so relaxing to just sit and watch............. :up:  :up:  

Good job i like it. I agree can you speed up the music just a bit

Nice work.   But I'm absolutely amazed that you went all those places to do your photography portion. lol

  Federal law is simply that you do not "know or have reasonable cause to believe" the recipient is not a resident of TN or is otherwise prohibited from firearm ownership. No proof is required. Nothing else is required under federal or TN law, and case law has never been established to require any documentation whatsoever to comply with that.   How far you want to go with that is up to you. Many folks just ask the buyer (or not), some require seeing a TDL for the residency part, some want to see HCP, some also want bill of sale.   Whatever you decide to require, state it upfront as part of the deal. And of course he should do the same in the case of a swap.   - OS

These are extreme cases, got these in some range pick up. [URL=http://s896.photobucket.com/user/redintn/media/Glock%20smile/gs1_zps79f1ca0f.jpg.html][/URL] [URL=http://s896.photobucket.com/user/redintn/media/Glock%20smile/gs2_zps897a7b30.jpg.html][/URL]

Let me preface this with the statement that when the SHTF and society collapses, alcohol as a beverage is very likely to once again become a form of currency just as it was in the old days.  Anyone who does even a casual bit of reading about the history of distilling spirits will quickly note how many ministers distilled bourbon and whiskey back in those times.  It was to keep their families financially solvent; no man needs that much whiskey for himself.  :)   So, framed in those terms, I'd absolutely become a student of how to distill my own alcohol for drinking and medicinal purposes also as a survival tool.  Learning doesn't have to mean doing either, and learning is still legal.   But back to your stated purposes... that's pretty cool.  :)

I once found a map with the Ocean's voyage, but can't find it right now. I've had a bottle of several of the voyages, some definitely better than others, but a pretty reliable pour. I do think for the price (at least what I've paid; ~$75-90) there are bourbons I'd rather have over it, but I've bought a bottle of the last few releases, so I obviously don't hate it.

My church is having a grand opening service in their new building tomorrow, Sunday 9-27-15.    We have been meeting in the Alcoa High School gym since 2006 but have now moved to the new building. It is located near Denso in Maryville. They have directions on their website; http://www.blountchurch.org/love-god-love-people/. 2 services on Sunday morning 09:00 and 10:30.   Just wanted to put out an open invitation to anyone in the area of Blount County, TN that is looking for a church home or just wants to visit. This is a laid back, come as you are church. You don't have to dress up or anything, just be yourself.   Feel free to shoot me a pm if you have any questions.    

  Nope. Its not a bad thing. The Catholic Church has many enemies, most of those are historical with long detailed histories. It also cannot continue to flourish in this country as it once did without an influx of the faithful What's the most rapidly growing Roman Catholic racial group in this country? There are mutually beneficial needs between the two and with the enormous influx of illegal Hispanic's a symbiotic relationship. Nothing sinister but an opportunity none the less.  

I got mine today and am so happy to be off of android. B Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  This, is accurate. But expect to see leftist responses like "do you expect a war to break out at the burger hut"?

It's a hard choice between Night of the Comet and This Is The End.       :D         Seriously though, I liked the bleakness of The Road, but there weren't enough people to keep it terribly interesting. Book of Eli was good. I actually kind of like The Postman. Don't hate me for admitting that.

Baiting and hunting at night are illegal in the state of TN. I doubt anyone would complain, but one neighbor complaining would ruin your life. SSS!!!!!   Dave

I don't consider plastic guns to be collectables unless they are  toy guns. They fit into the tool category for me. One should always have a .357 revolver. At least one SA revolver.  War guns 1911, BHP, p-38, Luger are always going to be interesting and available. Admittedly some more pricy than others. Rule is get what you like. I'm hugely vested in Smith N frames, BHP, and Colts. Lucky to have been given some of them by my father.

What did you expect for a no name 1911 that retails b/w $4-600?
