How about WE, as in staff, use the feedback system we have. If a member decides to be a turd behind the scenes leave him a negative feedback. With everyone having positives a negative would really stand out. We already have it in place and other members can see the feedback unlike our warning point system.   Or if you want you can turn me loose on them. I don't care what they do to me as I already have experience in dealing with internet turds and have all the time in the world to hold them accountable.

And Class 3, to boot!!

I would say the same thing about people who follow grown men playing silly games with a ball. Many people find fictitious things dumb or beneath them but sports are equally worthless. It's all pass time. If it makes you happy (and it's legal) it's all good.

  I always throw stuff like this up when folks say doesn't matter who's president.   SCOTUS is ever so barely currently "for" gun rights (and even Scalia has opined that perhaps not every type gun is guaranteed by 2A).   But imagine the changes the next four (and probably eight) years will bring in the court's makeup, with about half of them likely to leave by then.   Though it's not a sure bet exactly what overall tone a court with 2-4 more appointed by a Republican prez, it's a damn sure bet what tone it'll be if same is done by a Dem like Hillary or Bernie or even Uncle Joe. It'll go so far left you'll need a 10x optic just to see it at all.   - OS

Folks over at Lucky gunner must have found a Ballistics Gel Blue-Light Special!   http://www.luckygunner.com/labs/self-defense-ammo-ballistic-tests/   Just about every size and brand of handgun ammo out there.   - Kevin

As soon as someone said Buford, I knew that picture was coming.....

So I am thinking about starting a TGO Hall of Shame upon which I will post the names of members who have, for various reasons, earned themselves a public shunning.   Extreme?  Hear me out.  :)   Every so often I have to spend an hour or so of my time in email and on the phone fighting to keep $20.  Because every so often someone buys a Benefactor membership here, uses it to post some ads in the Trading Post, and then goes to PayPal and disputes the charge saying that we charged them without authorization.  :rolleyes:   Bear in mind that we do not do automatically recurring subscriptions for this precise reason.  I never want TGO to automatically debit someone's account and be the reason why they overdraft at their bank, or can't buy groceries or put gas in their car.  An unexpected debit could easily cause any of those scenarios to play out.   So when someone buys a Benefactor membership, it's not a mistake.  They did it willingly.  And as most of you know, a Benefactor membership on TGO has some pretty immediate value and perks, the least of which not being the ability to use our Trading Post to post advertisements.  Which means that anyone who summarily demands a refund from PayPal is essentially trying to defraud TGO and "screw the system", so to speak.   And that's why I am tempted to start a Hall of Shame.   Because if you're willing to rip us off, everyone ought to know it.   :shrug:   What do you guys think?    

Thanks for the feedback so far folks.  I'm not going to carry through with the idea.  It was cathartic to just get it out of my system.    

Better that than be around guns with him methinks :)

No, I think I would tell him if'n it was me!   Dave

Even if you do find people that want to train, making sure all the personalities mesh can be tough.

I read the article that Oshoot posted and in one of the replies, a person stated that they that statement was referring to her and Carl being able to sneak out of the compound so easily with all of the blindspots available to them. That does make sense. It was only she and Carl in the room.

Did anyone catch the little gal Carl is buddys with slip of the tongue?  She said WE.  "There's too many blind spots.  That's how we were able to...."  Then Carl cuts her off.  She's a mole.    Tell your little girlfriend goodbye Carl.  If your old man finds out, she's toast.  

Weeks later: Be.. sure.. to... drink... your... Ovaltine...

I don't know why you would say a Phoenix is junk. I have owned 3 of them and none of them were junk. Each one was very accurate, never had a FTF and would shoot about any ammo out there. I have one right now and still shoot it often at the range with zero problems. The only issue I have with them are they do have more safeties than I like on a gun but that would be my only complaint....JMHO

I see no point in shaking up or changing the system because someone wants to pull a scam; I would deal with them and move on.

My cousin got his first deer with a bow. An 11 pointer. Little asshole. Lol

Back when I was fishing with my son in law we only used Seven Points launch ramp because it is well lit at night. Also when I would approach the dock to load at 1 or 2 AM I would do a scan of the entire parking area and woods around it before letting my Son In law out on the dock to get the trailer. In case I have not shown the front of my Skeeter on here I have a pair of Airliner Landing lights mounted on the front that will light up a football field and are really hard to actually look into directly so when I turn them on things do light up a lot. I also hand him one of my pistols I have in the boat to walk to the truck with and I keep the lights on with gun in hand to back him up. I worry about him fishing alone now with my eye sight but he now will take a friend along and he does same procedure and now has his own HCP and packs his own heat.

Morgan and guns.   Seems a big continuity problem here regarding Morgan and guns. Thought idea was he didn't have any truck with them, yet:   - When Carol is leading him on chain as ruse to get to the armory, you can clearly see a handgun in holster on his right side. (which the passing Wolves who give her kudos didn't notice either)   - Then after Carol shoots the tied up Wolf that tried to kill Gabriel, she hands a handgun to both Morgan and Gabriel, Morgan gives his to Gabriel, saying something or other to the effect he doesn't believe in using them. But we already know he has one on his hip, which also begs the question of why she even gave him one in the first place?   You can also see the heater on his hip toward the end when he and Carol are doing the aftermath walk around.   WTF?   - OS

No, you should ban them. If I understand what you are saying, they know they need to be a benefactor to sell something. So they place the item for sale and then later dispute the charge? Who wants to buy and sell guns with people like that; ban them and call it a day. I’m generally against banning people over BS; buts that’s just plain criminal. You could post who they are though for the entertainment value or in case they sell other places. A lot of us have been benefactors a long time and rarely sell anything.

Congrats! I really like the G43. I have actually been using a belly-band type holster for my G43 and PF9 lately. I carry it at about 4:00 position. It took me a little while to get used to it, but once I did I really like it. Super slim, doesn't try pull my pants down, adjustable for any depth or cant, can be used with ANY type clothing. Works great for me. Good luck

Background checks on primers? Powder?

  If something like that was actually proposed in Congress I really believe that would be the trigger but I also believe there may be a few, even on the democrat side that would realize that would be throwing the sh!t at the fan and I don't believe most want that. I'm still mad as hell even from the actual mention of it, I am mad just as much when I see some socialist college students burning the Stars And Stripes in protest. To me talk of disrespecting and violating the Constitution is just as Un-American as burning the flag. Hillary Clinton is an Un-American POS.

  Disney is likely hedging their bets that there aren't a significant number of Star Wars novel readers who will be so incensed as to not watch this new release.  Pretty much, they don't care about you or your books; they gots Mickey money to generate!   You should go watch it though.  They'll likely have Jar Jar Binks in it, who was arguably the best character ever.  So, like Luke Skywalker once said, live long and prosper.  Let the force be ever in your favor.

One major difference in the parties is the Liberals are determined and stick to their guns for the most part, like the the vote yesterday that stonewalled the Sanctuary City defunding bill in the Senate in favor of illegal aliens. They are the minority but due to the way the voting rules are set up, the left stuck together and stopped the bill from going forward with a 54-45 party line vote. The bill required 60 votes to move forward and the 55 member Republican majority couldn't even get that. 99 vote total and I don't know who didn't vote, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Its only news in that it has gotten much worse than the late 60's early 70's.   My hometown is Detroit MI. Born in 1949 back when it was the auto capital of the world. I lived through the riots and saw tanks roll up my street. But there was more of the city that was still safe and productive than now.   I was up there 2 months ago to visit my mother and it looks like a war zone. Detroit is still number one in Murders per capita in the US and the most dangerous city to live in.  All these major cities like Memphis, St. Louis, Chicago, are the same. Violent crime and poverty mixed with unemployment, and many years of liberal governance have turned such places into decay and despair. Frankly, it seems to me especially in the case of Detroit that its too far gone. Perhaps chicago could recover but a lot of these cities are going to go bankrupt and become ghost towns. I'v only visited Memphis once and most of it could be mistaken for Detroit or east St. Louis. Its a shame.

A tang sight helps greatly. Are you hinting that I'm old? :rofl:

  The bill was actually sent to the President earlier today (or yesterday since this post is after midnight) on the 20th.  The 7th was when the Senate approved the exact version the House did after the conference to hammer out the differences.   The presiding officers of each chamber had to certify the bill, then the House clerk  physically delivered the certified bill to the West Wing before the 10 day clock can start, bringing up that delay you mention. Here's a great link to understand the details behind the process.   The main cause for delay between the 7th and the 20th was as it usually is, a Congressional recess.  The other reason is grandstanding.  Republicans lined up to make press statements at a ceremony for the final certification (formally called enrollment), and wanted to make sure this wasn't in any other news cycle, hence the timing since nothing else big is going on this week.   After all the posturing, I may piss myself laughing if this ends up being eligible for a pocket veto.

Not a problem. I will PayPal the money in the morning.

Yep, she'll say one thing to her base during the primary and say something completly different if she is still campaigning during the general. Serial # OU812 :)

  Right. I wouldn't really want them to be able to force them. I wouldn't want them forcing me to let a stranger on my property either. That being said, if it was me, I'd want the hunter to retrieve his deer. But some people aren't hunters or answer their door even if someone is in camo. It really sucks, but it is what it is. No way I'd risk getting into a physical confrontation with someone after I trespassed or risk going to jail and losing my hunting rights either.     Yes it is. Think my arrow will fly with 100 yards of 5/16 cable attached to it? :rofl: At least the buzzards got to eat. After all Clint Eastwood said "Buzzards gotta eat same as worms".

Ahh, brings back memories of the the good old days.  Like before a wife and children.  I could do anything anytime if I wanted to.  I made a landing or two at Mike Romeo Charlie (MRC, 3 letter identifier Maury County Airport.  I earned my certificate in 1988,  Av Gas was under $2.00 / gal. and a Cessna 152 was $40.00/hr. and a Piper Cherokee was $52.00/hr., both were wet meaning including fuel.  Somewhere around 1989 I bought a 1967 Cessna 172.  I thought I was big time when I purchased a used Northstar Loran ( state of the art form of GPS that triangulated position by radio signals designed during WW II for Naval ships crossing the Atlantic).  I married in 1992 and figured it was time to sell the Cessna. I made a decent profit in the short time I owned it.  A quick search shows these are selling for $30 - $35k now.  That's more than double what gave initially gave for mine.   Back then there was a thing called a $100.00 hamburger,  when you had nothing better to do so some fellow aviators picked a place that was within a non-stop for fuel flight,  fly there go to lunch and return home only to have spent $100.00 or more.  I guess these days it would be closer to $300.00 plus hamburger.  Best wishes that she earns her certificate.  She will have memories that will never fade and maybe inspire her to make a career out of it. 

I was hoping you would chime in on this. Thanks for the further clarification.

  Aaron. I got that was his own backpack he recognized that he lost and those were the recruitment pix they show, just as they did with Rick's group. Which helped lead the Wolves to the place.   - OS

Everyone is infected ... but the infection is "asleep." The saliva activates the infection. When you die from natural causes, the saliva in the dead persons mouth eventually works its way into the blood either by being absorbed in GI tract or eating through the mucosal lining to activate it in the dead person's blood. ... ...

And whatever you do NEVER try to polish it up or remove any patina. The only thing that should touch something like this is a cotton rag soaked in oil. Seen plenty of guns ruined by someone trying to make it prettier.

That's awful!   I've all but quit fishing Priest.  Between the traffic on the lake and the general sketchiness of a lot of the ramps and surrounding lots, I've about had it with the lake.  Add to the fact that I actually hit a submerged car in 2013 and I just don't have much use for it anymore.   There are a lot of really good under pressured rivers around that I find more enjoyable - especially in the kayak.

Yep. The best opening statement in TTD history.

..and his oral sex comment. I laughed pretty hard at that.

Alright Gentlemen, The Knives have been officially ordered and Protech will start to build them very soon, I am trusting all of you that committed to buy these that have not already paid to do so by the end of this month as we agreed on,

  Irrelevant, libel is a false statement.  Can't be libel if they did it.

I like it. I became a benefactor to join in on the buying and selling, and to support the site which I enjoy greatly.

How sorry can a guy be? Wow. I'd like to know who people like this are so I won't have the misfortune of trying to deal with them.

Yes!  I want to know for the simple fact that it is dishonest behavior and I don't want to do business with someone that would do you and the forum that way.

Black lives only matter when white people are involved. When black people kill black people, it is not news because it does not support the narrative. In fact, it's racist to even bring this up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Accurate.
