A little boy in an Obama mask with a sign around his neck saying:  "IDIOT".  God Bless America!!!

F - daylight saving time! 

I set my clock back to April. It's warmer, longer.

Well as best I can tell 96r it is a to show our veterans that they are being remembered which to me means a heck of a lot. It is just a little reaching out to let a down and out vet see a green light and know it represents an American that appreciates all he/she gave for Love of Country. I would have thought that was pretty well self explanatory but maybe not to some.Was there not a thread on here only about a week ago about reaching out to our Veterans?................. :shrug: :shrug:

I posted "tread lightly" as s reminder to EVERYONE that this will not turn into another "all cops are bad" thread. I think by this time we all know where everyone stands on LE. And I do not care how badly these kids screwed up it is still pretty sad that they lost their lives. And over what would have amounted to a ticket. Everyone involved could have reacted better. I blame EVERYONE involved, the kids and the cops, for the outcome. Yeah the kids could have acted better but so could the cops in both videos. I can say, without a doubt, before I attempted to extract ANYONE, especially an argumentative teenager, I would have waited for another officer. Backup was less than a minute away and the kid was not posing a threat while engaged in videoing the officer. The kid wears the brunt of the responsibility for his death but I also know that kids do stupid things because they lack maturity or the wisdom that comes with age. Also, if the officer knew people were flashing him over the lights on the new patrol car why even bother with a traffic stop? That is the single biggest problem I have. Almost like the officer was using the lights, intentionally or not, as a reason for a stop that I believe should have never happened. Yes, if that was the first car to flash then yeah pull them over but the officer already knew the reason why the kid flashed him and used that as probable cause to stop the kid. I think that will play a major role in all of this. The officer should not be charged criminally but he should never be in any position of authority again. You could definitely see him getting upset and it was his emotions, not an actual threat, that prompted him to arrest the kid before backup arrived. I would have just stood there and let the kid continue to video me until backup arrived. You can never have enough witnesses.

Knowing him, I will practically guarantee it didn't. :lol: :lol:

  I was on my work laptop...how do you think I feel? Surprisingly, it passed the porn filter.

Tread lightly.

Latex Gloves Next time you use a pair of rubber gloves, you're going to smile when you think of this: A dentist noticed that his next patient, a little old lady, was nervous, so he decided to tell her a little joke as he put on his gloves. ' Do you know how they make these gloves? ' he asked. ' No, I don't, ' she replied. ' Well, ' he spoofed, ' there's a building in Canada with a big tank of latex, and workers of all hand sizes walk up to the tank, dip in their hands, let them dry, then peel off the gloves and throw them into boxes  of the right size. ' She didn't crack a smile. ' Oh, well. I tried, ' he thought. But five minutes later, during a delicate portion of the procedure, she burst out laughing. ' What's so funny? ' he asked. ' I was just envisioning how condoms are made! ' (Gotta watch those little old ladies! Their minds are always working!)

Tell me you got a picture

I woulda dumped the whole dish out for little one. Heck yeah!

  Those are completely arbitrary, based on some worst case projection for durability of the container, and "best freshness", based on some insurance standard or whatever I'm sure.  As long as air doesn't get into the can, it's safe. I had some big cans of chili that got stashed and forgotten once, well over 5 years old. Was fine. Tasted same as ones bought yesterday.   Home canned is same. Long as seal is intact, not sure there really is a practical limit, at least as far as the safety of eating it.   - OS

As mayor I don't think she has a lot of swing.  She's dangerous and should be watched though.  I hate that Nashville has grown the way it has and has been taken over by a bunch of rude liberals with out of state plates, most from the North.  It all started when the Titans got here and it's gone downhill every since.  Us natives are outnumbered by a bunch of Yankee liberals that want us to do their way, yeah, I'm a little bitter about it, sorry for the rant.  Oh yeah I also blame the sharp rise of housing cost on them as well.

I have great respect for all LEO's and I would not bash any LEO for doing his job with a cool head and good judgment, which the large majority of LEO's are good people that want to do the right thing. Looking at these videos I did come to the conclusion that the Kid was very much a smart ass wanting to make a video so he could brag to his buddies and did share the fault, but the LEO fired his weapon purely out of anger due to the fact that he shot an unarmed teen 7 times.....Ridiculous if you ask me. The second one had no right to fire. The car was already past him and he knew he was not in danger.   I would like to commend the Hamilton County Sheriffs Office for something that happened recently in Soddy Daisy. They found a trailer that had been stolen and the thief drove by while they were there. He ran and after chasing him a short distance, they broke off the chase because of the driver's speed and recklessness. They found him a short time later at a friends house and took him into custody without incident. THAT'S something they should all be proud of.

I have said for a very long time that the 300 Blackout is the PERFECT caliber for end of times. It is much easier to cast bullets for than 5.56. It is more miserly with the powder than 5.56, develops similar energy with 1/3 less powder. The parent case, 5.56, can be found anywhere guns are shot. It will easily cycle with subsonic bullets in an AR then fire supersonic bullets without issue. It can be loaded with 0 buck balls for taking small game. Oh, and one more thing, it can do most of this while using blackpowder now.   Not many calibers are as useful or as versatile as the 300 Blackout.   And with a rethink of how to use the 300 Blackout it becomes much more of a viable long range caliber as well. Right now everyone I know, with the exception of a few, load either lightweight supersonic rounds or heavy subsonic rounds. The lightweight rounds run out of steam pretty quickly and the heavy bullets start out without a lot of steam but hang onto the steam a lot longer. But what about loading those really heavy bullets at max velocity? Using a 220 SMK loaded to 1,400 fps (which is doable) that bullet will remain supersonic past 500 yards and at 500 yards it has over 200 foot pounds more energy than a 125 loaded to maximum pressures.   Right now there are 3-5 of us testing to see where the middle is. That is the middle between lightweight bullets and heavy bullets loaded at max to determine how far a supersonic bullet will go out of a Blackout. We are thinking that using a 175-180 bullet will yield the longest supersonic range. Imagine taking a standard AR 15 and using it in the same role as most people use AR10's. I have said that the 300 Blackout is like a 308 Winchester minus 275 yards. We are trying all the traditional powders as well as some not so traditional, like blackpowder, powders. I recently did some testing and was amazed that almost all of the "5.56" powders ran my Blackout. I also have some great loads using Blue Dot which has traditionally been used solely for pistols but cycles my 300 Blackout AR without issue. But that makes sense because the 300 Blackout is nothing more than a pistol caliber. 45 ACP cases hold more than a 300 Blackout and 357 magnum is nearly identical. So if you view the 300 as a pistol caliber the powder choices grow substantially.   We never expected BP to be ideal but considering you can find all the components to make it at most pharmacies BP would be a great alternative when nothing else is available.

I guess the easiest way to explain it would be to say the Japanese decided to make a fancy alternative to the tube sock.

I'm of the opinion that they don't actually live here but people from Arkansas drop them off on the shoulder of the road while passing through.

I would take different approach. Ask buyer if he would take a Benjamin to leave it like it is and if they agree, walk away without the headache.

    facts should not place anyone in an unfair light.  Facts are what they are.  We draw conclusions.

  I don't believe it, I think a trucker from Texas is driving up and down the interstate throwing out dead armadillo's as a joke.

I thought this was one of the best video's of yours I have seen.    :hat:  (loved the General Lee bit) I see nothing bashing LEO here.  Nothing less than an assessment I agree with in these two cases.  Kid #1, dumbass,  Kid #2 did not try to run the cop over.   Dolomite is his own man, I take his 'tread lightly" comment as advice only.   :shrug:  Cop threads here can die a bloody death, to use a poorly played pun.    :shhh:   I like that you want to do a political video channel. By political I assumed it would be about elected officials not roadside stops or drug stings. It won't end well here if your political channel is cop themed. I am not a defender of the police. I am no enemy of the police.  But threads here about LEO while well intentioned have a tendency to violate TOS as some point. Not that the OP violates it but surely someone will come along and run their mouth (fingers) and end the thread.   I think you have better topics we would like to watch than roadside stops.   :2cents:

it looks nice and good definition in the dex, I wouldn't use alcohol on the leather to try and remove the ink marks.  From the looks of it the leather has not been treated with any neats foot oil,  in the event it hasn't I would treat it with some, and it will have a tendency to darken the leather some and might hide the ink marks, or you might be stuck living with it.  

I have a lot of thoughts and I’d like to openly discuss them; but this isn’t the place for it. I have never asked a mod to lock a thread, but I would ask you to shut this down yourself; it can’t end well.

I've not had any personal probs with them, but I found the "now you see it, now you don't" nature of their .22 stuff pretty off putting, back when I was looking.  Would appear off and on any number of times just within one day. Also the "back door" shopping cart hack they didn't fix for a good while.   All of this seems to be due to sub par inventory and ordering IT stuff, and sounds like it's still a problem.   Larry touts their sooper dooper shipping system upgrade, but sounds like a few bucks ought to have been put into better real time inventory control.   - OS

  I just wish I wasn't logged into amazon when I looked it up. Now my recommendations are going to be fucked up for a while.   :yum:

The dates on cans are "best by dates" rather than expiration dates. I believe some Mormon researches tested canned corn from a wrecked boat that had been underwater since the late 1800's. They said the taste was not as fresh, but it was still nutritious.

There were a few loose primers in there I think they were all inserted into disks.  Found the following advice in another thread, I'll credit 300winmag.  So, guess I'll have to make another range trip this week...  

Those of you who voted for free crap are getting what you deserve. Those of you who didn't....welcome to the reality created by those who did.

  You gotta be kidding. Canned stuff, whether commercial or home, can last indefinitely. A can of tuna, green beans, whatever, is gonna taste pretty much the same after 5, 10 years, longer, whatever. Long as it doesn't develop a pin hole or something to spoil, it's gonna be okay.   - OS

  I meant accomplish as in what does it materially do.  It's not raising money for a good cause like the Fisher House, and it's not trying to reach a goal like cleaning up the VA.  Veterans are being remembered plenty if people look around.  Go to a sporting event and there is always some "salute to service."  To me, it seems like it makes those doing it feel better than those it purports to help.  What does the green light do that a yellow ribbon, or a "support our vets" bumper sticker doesn't already do?  Does the hashtag upgrade it or something?  People are starting to confuse awareness campaigns with real action, and nothing is getting done.   As to the thread on reaching out...a place like TGO with real people offering someone to talk to can do more than half the country putting out a green light in support.   For me, the real way to remember veterans is to keep the pressure to reform the VA, and to make sure they aren't sent to fight in stupid wars like you and I were.

I have a SDP from CZ Custom, compared to my stock 75B Omega (which is pretty nice) I can tell the difference. I think $950 is fair, he probably paid 1300-1400 and like you said, try to find a used one...

  It's an alternate Earth where no one knew about zombies from fiction or folklore, so maybe they have better fuel stabilizers there.  Maybe they also have the Kansas City Monarchs instead of the Royals in their MLB.  Bad fuel will only come into play when the writers need someone to be stranded.   As for the timeline, Lori was pregnant soon after Rick showed up, and Judith is still a baby, so I imagine it is supposed to be only 2 years or so.  Carl's natural aging just has to be ignored in that scenario.  I think on the show, Alexandria is a relatively short time after the prison, with an unknown amount of travel time from Georgia to Virginia.   Our actual knowledge of the real time, Carl's age, and the seasons in which they film all clash and can really confuse the fictional timeline.

I think the state will limit her affect on guns.

I have that same opinion bud!

Great job! I noticed you did the same thing I did... moving the belt clips closer together than on the Alien Gear holster. To me, that made a noticeable improvement in the fit.  You could consider cutting the leather in the lower right of your picture along the bottom ink line to eliminate it. After that, I'd just leave the other lines.     By the way, I've ordered a pair of these belt clips to replace my existing clips like yours.   https://ulticlip.com/   My pet peeve with my dual belt clip holster is that it is hard to get the holster on. Hopefully, these clips will speed up the process.  I'll start a thread to let everyone know how they worked.

Looks great!   I agree with Ron Padilla about not using alcohol on leather and about the neatsfoot oil. I love that stuff!   Now that you've made one, if you're anything like me, you'll want to make one for all your guns.

Good job!

Good job !

  Thought the same thing years back, & can't remember if someone here mentioned it or where the info came from, but their employees work on a profit-sharing model.  That's why they move so fast.  Their employees will never slow down.   Hell, about 2 years ago I was at the store near old hickory and nolensville rd. The guy at the counter had a bunch of scars on this hand and we started comparing scars/war stories, he said he worked late one night, got in an accident on the way home & was messed up pretty bad.  The president of the company found out about it and flew a top notch hand surgeon out to the guy and assist with the surgery while he was in the hospital.  What says more about them, is that they don't go around bragging about that kind of thing, if the employee didn't tell people, very few would ever know.   Sounds like they really invest in their employees.

Oh its not just going to be about roadside stops...lol  I had the Idea to start it to cover the 2016 Presidential election and the news and world/local current events.    I'll tell him that....Im probably going to be doing videos with him.   Good views sir...and please don't think I was "offended" or anything lol

Seems TN actually received a bargain when they spent $46k for their new logo: http://gawker.com/5070093/pepsis--new-logo-a-bargain-at-several-hundred-million-dollars I seem to be in the wrong business, and I can run Photoshop and Illustrator well enough to create these works of art. Man, the guns I could buy then.

I want to buy your dad a beer. His expression when you drove the dodge home made me laugh and giggle. Fitty you earned my respect when I started following you on FB, your videos, your service and your sacrifice. Now that I know more about your dad he has earned a great amount of respect from me due to his service.

Great points.....lol on the marijuana joke.

Totally agree. They had enough time in the episode to show him surviving; I think they are going to get a lot of flack. It's not like they were in a ratings slump or needed a "who shot J.R.?" moment. They will be known as the little boy who cried wolf, and people will stop believing cliffhanger deaths. I'll still keep watching, though.

  You may have very well created the next Geico commercial.  "They're liberals......that's what they do."

I stopped using Midway because their shipping is always too high. Joe Bob's usually beats them on price and Brownell's usually beats them on selection.

I don't mind fees up to $35 for the transfer.  The gun shop I frequent most has great prices, seldom on handguns is there much of a markup over what I can get online, so I understand they are trying to recoup some margin which is fine with me.  I almost always try to buy from a small shop, but sometimes I cant get what I need/want locally so I have to go online.   One things for sure though, establishing a good relationship with a local shop can have all kinds of awesome benefits when you need something.

How did you get him to lay on his back for the pic?  LOL

New 2x's won't fix that. A wire from top outer corner to lower inside corner with a turnbuckle should do it though. Worst case, just rebuild a new door for no more than it would cost.
