  He's the one that accidentally shot somebody :)

I'm guessing they didn't have time to wait until the store opened and fill out a 4473 form like most folks... Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

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.    

Looks like Rosie Odonnel in a snuggie.

I vote keep it. Obviously you have emotional ties to it. It's not like an animal you don't have to feed it, it doesn't cost you anything if you don't drive it. New cars just don't have the soul the classics do. If I won the lottery (which I don't play anyways) I would have a TON of restored/modified older vehicles. Even if it's only rarely driven, keep it. You won't come across anyone else driving one just like it. There is a certain pride of ownership that comes with a built not bought vehicle that you can't get from anything else.

  Well, I gotta admit I give BHO a bit more credence on this one that most of his decisions. Not that it ain't political to a certain extent, but to be fair, would a Republican president allow such an end run around the confines of sequestration for funding some part of government favored by liberals?  I doan thin so, Lucy.   The fact that it's the military is of course somewhat galling considering BHO's long onslaught of same, but then again, the Budget Control Act of 2011 had overwhelming GOP support in the House, so it's not like the military having to live within the same proportional constraints is suddenly some big surprise or anything.   - OS

Resisting the urge to profile:   "Witnesses reported the men fled the scene in a luxury type-vehicle with rims that pulled up near the store"

Dry fire is free....yet almost no one does it. 

Check out remora holsters. Excellent quality and not terrible on price. A lot of options. http://www.remoraholsterstore.com/category-s/5484.htm

Frankly, I couldn't care less. If Californians are stupid enough to vote for these idiots then the consequences are on them.

It's been a while since this happened but yes, we had someone post a bunch of stuff for sale and then try to reverse charges a few months later.  After going back and forth with the member's bank over it, I finally just told them to refund the person and I banned them permanently from the site.   The more I think about the notion of just taking the high road, the more I think it's probably the right idea.

I like the change.  :up: I didn't shoot a non optic M16/M4/M4A1/HK416 during my last 10 years in the Army. Today I have to backward train a new competitor to shoot with iron sights. I often see multiple combat tour veterans who have never fired an M16A2.  

  None taken, sorry if it seemed like it. I am scanning craigslist right now and some of it is comical. Honestly, 6-7k will not get her. My lowest of my low is 8,500. and I know she will sit. The good thing is I have full coverage insurance on her as a DD and she's guaranteed for $14,000 if totaled. The money would come in handy. Both of our DD's are about to be paid of next month. I have a lot of things I could use the money for but my gut says to be smart and sock it away. I just know that I will never carry out any further restoration on her and I love her enough to know that is there is someone who will, she deserves it.   You're so right. My favorite thing is we live so far out that when I go to the one gas station in the area, I always pull in and the old farts outside dinking around just stare. When I leave I always floor it just because I can look back and see them laughing. She does have a cool factor and I have been offered cash for her quite a few times, I never took them up on it. But now, I know it is what I want to do. Kinda. It's tough! She costs me quite a bit. 6 MPG @ $2.85 is a wee bit! Which is why I don't drive her often and I do drive her a bit fast and loud so I am sure I am really only getting around 4MPG. LOL

FYI, they are taking orders again as of the 16th. First up of course is the holsters they lost in the fire and then the pending orders. Good to see them back in production and especially so quickly - I was expecting a few months.

Welcome! I have to say I've spent several work days with your site pulled up just deciding which class to take first! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  Well, Republicans called his bluff, and found out he wasn't bluffing.  The funding for the defense department is good until early December along with the rest of the government, thanks to the continuing resolution passed a few weeks ago, so that gave him a lot of cover to do this and not have it become an operational impact across the force.  The only thing impacted are contracts that are on hold from being finalized until the money authorized to pay them.  Most, if not all of the current contracts should be covered under the CR.  I know mine was when I was working under a DoD or Army contract.   I'm thinking the White House really wants this settled on their terms outright, or they might use it as leverage when the talks on a new budget take place soon.  They give Republicans the money here in exchange for money somewhere else...that kind of deal.  After all these years, the President knows he can't go into the debt ceiling talks, and a budget negotiation after caving on this without getting something in return first.   The 1911 transfer to CMP is just caught up in the bigger fight.  But since it's not a money issue, it's more than likely to stay in the final bill no matter what deal is made, which it has to sometime.

Welcome aboard Reid..I hope one day to take part in one of your rifle classes..:)

Welcome to the group look forward to some of your insight on the culture

Made by Stellar Rigs. That particular model only made for a few small heaters. The Stellar above doesn't depend on any kind of friction or hook to stay in pocket. Gun just pops out from retention in holster when your fingers go in between grip and extra mag. So there's no further adhesion at all between gun and holster. Been asked that so many times I made a demo pic: I also have a Kydex holster for a J frame, which has a small flat "thumb stud", which you push against while drawing out of the holster. I also find that very effective, more so than depending on part of the holster to "hook" a corner of the pocket. - OS

Always motivated by our own GT, I decided to get my jimp on!! This is going to be the thinnest flat grind blades I think I've ever done , proverbial decorative razor blade it shall be!!! Stay tuned!

He's getting way more than the bear necessities. 

Don't be scared to post the scores! It's not my fault you let me win with the wheel gun. And yes last night was awesome fun! 7 stages and 90 rounds, well worth the price of admission

Well, I have tried about all calibers out there and I have settled on 380's for the most I feel comfortable with for Home and carry. I know a lot of people will say they are just not enough fire power but with the right ammo they do a damn nice job in a gel test. ...........jmho

The guy who left his truck running at the mapco will at least get a citation for leaving truck running unattended.  Might even get something charged to him from damage to store if I had to guess.

Even though I am now in M'boro I still use Guns 'N More in Smyrna.  I will say that they are very competitive on pricing though.  The last time I transferred in an el-cheapo AR lower they had the same one there for nearly the same price OTD after you factored in shipping, etc.  If it is a common model of something you might want to call and check their on hand or ordering availability/price first.

I pocket carry quite often and Kydex is the only way to go.

a friend of mine has a phoenix with 2 barrels, we used the long one.   It is quite fun to shoot, decently accurate and reliable.   That said they are not high round count guns and are prone to wearing out at an accelerated rate due to the construction.     I won a hi point 45 and its also great for what it is.   The trigger is good, the recoil is mild, it goes bang 100% of the time and the rounds land where you aim them.  Not tried their 22 but their guns work.   If I recall they have a solid service / warranty too.   I would prefer it over the phoenix.   That said, the same money for a new cheapo will net you a decent used one at a show usually.   I would seek out a S&W 22a model for a cheap target .22 practice gun.   I had one and loved it, and you can find them for pretty low prices used.  The difference between a new hi point and a used 22a is probably 50 bucks, if you can swing it.

Yeah, Nemesis models much too thick for me. I prefer leather for most holsters, but for pocket carry can't beat thin Kydex. My PM9: - OS

Better that than be around guns with him methinks :)

  Yep, could be! I'm wondering about all the crap the others are going through trying to get back "home" with a few thousand walkers rambling around the woods heading towards the same thing they are. The sound of the horn!!! The writers are doing a jam-up job to me and I'm thinking this is going to be a great season! I guess I've gotten over all the minute detail mistakes of TV and movies as a whole. I never really even see them. I try to stay "in the moment" of what I see on the screen and just enjoy it for what it is. Entertainment for the masses. LOL. 

The "Govt" can't "Buyback" what it never owned in the first place. Tyrant Bitch.

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. 

Barely interested. Won't be seeing it in the theater. THIS coming from one of the biggest Star Wars fans TGO has ever had. Not bragging, just truth. Why? Disney. What did Disney do that's so bad you ask? Disney has come out and said that any and all expanded universe is no longer canon. Bull śhît!!!!!!!! I spent years reading. There are over 200 full length novels and stories that are ten fold more involved and in depth than ANYTHING Lucas ever did. Just the work Karen Traviss did with the Mandalorians and Clone troopers is massive. So they're gonna tell me that Grand Admiral Thrawn never existed unless it suits them? Eff You!! The Yusong Vong war? Jacen Solo becoming Darth Caedus? Boba Fett finding the cure for accelerated aging to save thousands of clone lives? Mandalore making a full recovery and the return of the Madalorians? Boba building the most elite and highest quality military manufacturing facility (Mandal Motors) surpassing even the Correlians for bad ass star fighters? Did Chewbacca NOT die saving Anakin Solo from a moon crashing into Serndipal ? (Okay, that would be nice) I could go on for hours and it's all for nothing? I hate you Disney. The Force is not in you.

I like the idea of a Hall of Shame for people who provided so much entertainment value here in threads that lead to them getting banned.     As for people stiffing you,  unless it is real common and not just the occasional act I'd take the high road and file it under the cost of doing business. Karma is a cruel mistress and those people will get theirs someday.  

I wonder if having a minimum post count would help? Don't make it a crazy number but requiring anyone who wants to sell something to have a minimum of 5 or 10 posts would cut down on those who register to dispute them.   Another option could be that staff approves all posts by those who do not have 10 posts.   I think there is a large segment of the population who does not believe it is stealing if it is done on the internet. I have had people try to dispute stuff with me even though I had a no questions asked money back guarantee. But I believe it was never about getting the refund and all about being able to keep what I sold them without paying for it. And if I could have convinced my local LE to I would have prosecuted every single one of them.   I would rather see a hall of shame with all the classic threads where people have lost their minds.

Got an early anniversary gift from the wife today. Hopefully will help put some meat on the table for a few months... Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

I'm planning to make some belt sheaths for various hatchets and small axes and I made this prototype for my Wetterling's #115 Hunter's Hatchet. I'm looking for some feedback on it, including suggestions for improving the design. It's made with heavyweight saddle leather has a filler along the blade edge. I'm thinking the belt loop on the back can be improved by sewing/riveting on a wider loop. Any other thoughts?

Weird....IMO the Desantis Nemesis would be the upgrade pocket holster.

  I assure you there is no good news whatsoever regarding a Tennessean having a loaded firearm in MD, and since you aren't traveling according to FOPA, even unloaded with ammo in separate locked container could be problematic.   Can you not go to Detroit instead? Equally dangerous, but at least you could pack. ;)   - OS

Reign of Fire is one of my favorites, completely unrealistic. My kids love Wall-E. I know it said movie, but my favorite book is The Road. The movie sucked. If you watched to movie and hated it, you may want to give the book a chance.

Here is my super secret squirrel method for buying and selling stocks. It helps if you live near Chattanooga.   Once a week drive up I-24 and go past the Covenant Trucking dispatch yard. If there are a bunch of trucks sitting there sell. If the lot is empty buy. The trucks always park before a turn down gets noticed and they are among the first to get going when things are ready to pick back up.   It has worked better than any other tool I've found.   Mark
