We will see a war on our soil again, no way it would not happen. It is just a matter of when but I believe we are getting very close. And it is just not our country but the entire world. Find me a country that has not been in some sort of military fray in the last 10 years. The vast majority of the countries on this planet are dealing with terrorism or the muslim invaders attacking the countries internally. We have been largely devoid of the type of protests and antics these types pull in the EU but that will someday change as well. They have done it in every other country so they know exactly what they are doing and they will do it here.   On top of that threat we have the threat of our own government attacking us. They are calling gun owners terrorists and feel like the veterans they are a threat. Well you know what, they are and especially so when they are not treated like the patriots they are. At some point something does have to give because we cannot keep going like we are and hope to survive as a country.   But make no mistake there will be US blood shed at some point in our future.

Machine is fixed!!!! Knives are being made as I type this,

Remember that idiot in the local bar that would mumble about something or another, talking all kinds of a big game, when you knew full well all he was ever going to do was go home and piss himself, then come back and plant himself on the same stool tomorrow?   As far as I'm concerned, that's the majority of the internet.  Talk is cheap when you're on a bar stool or behind a keyboard.

I sent them a message saying that one of the plastic clips on my holster was bent out of shape(been wearing it every day since I got it at the beginning of this year)... 5 minutes later my phone was ringing and the lady informed me that she's sending not one pair but two pairs of steel clips as an upgrade because I bought two holsters from them earlier this year. I said, "That was a fast response," to which she replied, "I called you as soon as I saw your message." I am one satisfied customer.

This is what is called keeping your cool   :cool:   http://www.wimp.com/bear-seat/

I tend to get my news from different sources because I haven't trusted the "media" since about 1983 when a reporter told a fellow LEO that she'd make something up if he didn't tell her his story when he killed someone in the line of duty. I don't trust anyone with a clear agenda whether it be individuals, FOX News or MSNBC. But what is troubling to me isn't the reporting but rather what I see in the comments section below the stories.   Time and again the comments below the story interject politics regardless of whether or not the story is a political one. Time and again the comments consist of insulting remarks towards others that they don't even know, nor would they have the guts to say the same in person. Keyboard Commandos is what I call such individuals, and it seems that this county is just chock full of them! Heck, Ive even seen them on this moderated forum although they don't tend to last very long! It seems like civil discourse is a thing of the past anymore, and that's a big red flag for me as far as this country's very survival is concerned. Nothing gets done because people are too charged up with an us versus them mentality and hurt feelings. Sort of, "Why should I discuss anything with someone who can only hurl insults at me?" type of mindset.   Consider that in the 1800's there were disagreements concerning various ideas as to how this country should be operated, and those disagreements eventually devolved into The American Civil War in 1861. This was a time of a more civil discourse between parties, and it turned into one of the bloodiest times in our history still impacting us today! Today we have Facebook and Twitter that can take a disagreement to hostilities in mere minutes. Also consider that one of the common denominators with the mass shooters in recent history is their use of the Internet. Could it be that people who feel socially awkward in public turn to the Internet and its unregulated conduct just to find the worst in human interactions, and then they flip that switch that says everybody sucks and deserves to die?   I've seen some members of this forum comment upon how there would never be another civil war - and chastise others for even thinking that there will be - but I submit that the evidence indicates the contrary. I'm watching our society devolve into a bunch of rude :poop: heads that have no respect for anyone else, their opinion, or even their life. I see it on the roads with what we've termed "Road Rage," and I've seen it in our politics, entertainment, and even in religion of all places. I see other countries that do not like us do their best to exert pressure as well. I see our country polarizing to a degree that I've never witnessed in my 55 years, so what makes the terrifying idea of a civil war coming so far out there? This time it won't be North against South, but rather Conservative versus Liberal with it being even harder to identify the enemy. And this time it will weaken us at a time when other countries are just waiting for that right moment to attack, and then we'll be screwed.   Yes, I don't foresee good things for this country because I don't see any way to change the pathway before us.

The day is nigh. Can't wait to get my grimy paws on this bad boy.

Either way he goes, to me, Morgan is now a liability.

I was thoroughly bored with this episode. It took me two evening to watch the whole thing, and that's with fast forwarding the commercials. To me Morgan's character is un-relatable for the reasons OhShoot mentioned earlier. I don't see anyone operating in his extreme mindsets, either pole. He either needs to get his mind right or go away, I really don't care which at this point.

We have a dog that we are pretty sure is mixed with a Malinios. He's fantastic. Good guard dog but incredibly loving and well behaved. [URL=http://s854.photobucket.com/user/emathew3/media/gunnahh_zpsa2bc78ef.jpg.html][/URL]

Pucker factor rating of 10! That's incredible

While there is a lot of truth to all the inerwebz BS I think we were screwed long before. I think it just magnifies the problem.

I definitely agree with this line of thinking - ever since message boards and chat rooms were developed people have used the cyber domain as a geopolitical battlespace. I see it too - on news outlets, Facebook pages and YouTube videos the comments devolve into insults, racism, mildly concealed threats and sheer stupidity and ignorance. A lot of this has to do with the lack of interpersonal communications. Which is not all bad - we connect at greater rates thanks to boards like Reddit, TGO, etc...but people who dont have any damn sense get online and exert that "Keyboard Commando" style. No logical discourse, no supporting facts other than Wiki or heresay (*cough* DamYankee *cough*). And kids see this and take on the same mindset. No one wants to contact their Reps they rather be Tumblr/Facebook social rights ninjas by pushing out irrelevent and false information. The masses eat it up. Hell; Europeans and Australians love bashing on America, and Americans agree. They blame it on the "right wing." To everyone else we are rednecks who cling to guns and bibles. They say we hate blacks and mexicans. We are KKK members, we support mass shootings (or the Govt organizes it). Most news is built on conspiracy theories rather than facts. Back in the day we had the Black Knight Sattelite and Area 51 now EVERYTHING is scrutinized to the point of brainwashing - the govt works with "Big Pharma" to poison us. We invented Bin Laden. We insert agents for Mass Shootings. We put GPS trackers in vaccines. We blow up Mosques and hospitals...the list goes on, we have all seen it. All my colleagues from HS, college and even the Army drink the KoolAid too. People love stirring the pot. Lies, slander, defamation and misinformation are just tools of the trade - they are not "wrong" anymore. Using all the social media spawned ignorance the nefarious politcal parties in America can act with impunity the recruit young Americans into their sects and continue to attempt to cast us into some sort of communist country. Hell - Libertarians are mildly concealed Anarchists that just want to legalize pot. Hardcore Conservatives are too hard lined and "Old Guard" to recruit any young people. The whole "Nanny State" thing is very much real. Dont like someone? Call them a racist and retard redneck. Hack their FB, trace their IP, make some stupid hash tag campaign. It is sad when celebrities and TV personalities hold more sway than community leaders or politicans. Many people rather listen to Kanye or Lady Gaga than anything else. The Nuclear Family is under attack. Planned Parenthood and unemployment/welfare is the go to answer. They rely on the govt and then hate them too. The Neo Feminist tells our sisters and daughters to go have sex with everyone. Go out and drink, get abortions, get an Arts degree - destabilize yourself and join groups of washed up burn outs. Hedonism is just having fun. Breaking the law is having fun. Flaming people online is having fun...did you get flamed for being an ignoranus? That person is racist and launch an anti bullying campagain to show you "care" Churchs are evil! Dont tithe to them but donate money to the DNC, Planned Parenthood and social media initiatives! They'll square you away! You dont need parental guidance - theyre Baby Boomers/Gen X they dont understand! I can go on and on about this. The end is nigh. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

One of the guys at work took his nephew and he got a 7 point about 8:00am. One shot and he dropped him right there.

Sorry, SOG Spec Elite II. It was my first auto-knife. :)

Hold the light in your weak hand like a real man.

Perfect world scenario for the Titans... Peyton Manning wins the Superbowl and retires. Peyton Manning then fulfills the rumors that have been circulating for the last 2 years about him buying the Titans with the help of an investment group. Titans then rebuild under Peyton Manning.

Summer Sausage:   2 lbs. ground venison 1/4 tbsp. of salt 1/2 tbsp. of black pepper 1/2 tbsp. of garlic powder 2 tbsp. of mortons tender quick (got to have this as it cures the meat & prevents spoilage or poisoning) 1 tbsp. of whole mustard seed 1 tbsp. of liquid smoke 3/4 cup of water   Mix all this up good & separate into 2 egual lumps, then rollinto sausage shapes. Roll the rolls on course black pepper sprinkled onto wax paper. Then roll the rolls up in tin foil & put in refrigerator for 24 hrs. to let the meat cure & seasoning set. After 24 hrs. remove the tin foil & bake (or you can smoke) for 1 to 1 1/2 hrs.at 350 degrees.   Let cool & roll in freezer paper, and tape shut. Can be frozen for long term storage or just refrigerated & eaten at your leisure.   caution; do not let your hunting buddies have even a little bite, they will eat it all.   I've started adding some diced jalapeno's to mine of late, just for a little more spicey.

Hey! I'm not the only Saints fan on here after all  :cool:  Titans need to change ownership...its finally time for that and they need to rebuild from there.

Well, grandson got a deer but considerable smaller than last year. He got a spike that was about 100 lbs but was late in the day and light was fading so he decided something was better than nothing and bagged it. Freezer meat is freezer meat........ :up:

This. Older revolvers will do that. My uncle's 6906 he carried with NYPD Vice also did that. Granted he threw it on the ground rather than "drop" it (He is the same dude who chucks golf clubs) Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

There are many older pistols that are not drop safe depending on how they're carried. Old school 1911s are that way: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I had a maroon Chevy until last month. You usually have a little time to look around and take in the scenery in that spot haha.

Say what you want about Beretta and .40SW and tacticcool kiddies, but drop the spaghetti- bender :poop: , some of us WOP's could take that the wrong way. lol :cheers:

    not sure what is more sad.  Their terrible rep or taking down a FB page thinking that will solve issues.   The old thread where the owner showed his ass here was epic.  The guy just kept digging a deeper hole.

At this point, I don't care. They had me all worked up about it at the end of last week, but I've now lost interest in the "is he or isn't he" topic. If he's alive, then good. I like the character. If he's gone, fine. There are others that I also like and it opens the door for Rick to put peacenik Morgan in his place. You can't save everyone.

Our forefathers faced similar oppressive taxation, albeit not in the form of "healthcare reform".   They did something about it too.   I wonder when the American taxpayers will finally hit the limit of what they are willing to put up with?

The only reason people even buy that spaghetti-bender BS is because it's "Mil Spec" so all the tacticool kiddies can pretend to be Operator. SA/DA pistols are stupid. The only thing the Italians are good at making in the ordnance/firearms realm is Anti-Tank Land Mines (VS-1.2 and Val 69 in particular). The fact that we chose the pistol makes me hate it even more. Stupid trigger. Stupid aesthetics. Stupid Beretta. Grrrrrrrr. /RantOff Me too ! I wouldn't offend a Glock by offering 25ACP casings. I would have to offer at least $400. Unless it's a .40 SW - then I'll melt it. If it is a .40 Cal I feel the same. However - I wouldn't walk if it as free - that would be offensive to the Brand, I pay for Perfection ;) Lol FanBoiStuff. Do not get me started on .40SW Crossfire lol.

I don't see any democrats running. During the first democrat debate, the candidates were asked to state how they saw themselves politically (or something like that). Sanders claimed to be Socialist and hillary said she is a progressive. It really baffles me how some people think that either of the two leading "democrat" candidates would be a good choice for america. It would be like voting to continue the train wreck that has been the last 7 years. I really wonder if those that still complain about Bush have been paying attention recently beacuse obama makes bush look like a saint IMO.

I really wish they'd STOP overdubbing the sound of a hammer being cocked whenever someone handles a Glock.

Norm Chow is available...... :hiding:

Heck, anyone can just sit there and watch the bear.  For some true badassness check out the following:   https://youtu.be/CVS1UfCfxlU

They call the veterans a threat because they tend to be mostly conservative patriots. It isn't a mystery why both sides look at politics when choosing the high command staff.

I have no love for the Beretta 92 system or Glock platform but both or deritives of their platforms dominate the defensive pistol world. I want to have the knowhow and skillsets to pick up any firearm I'm likely to come across and use it competently if the need arrises. So, I purchase a representative sample and train extensivly with it. I also try to intentiaonally make the weapon fail so I can learn to either prevent the failure or rapidly resolve it. I used to have access to class 3 weapons at a gunshop I worked in and did this with several weapons platforms. What I've learned is I might hate a particular handgun, rifle or shotgun but I know how to use the tool.

Many thanks to BTQ, Omega and Dolomite for helping me understand how the scope I just bought can help me achieve my goals.   The Leatherwood Hi-Lux will go on my Savage 111 .308.   The Savage has a Nikon 3-9 which will go on my CZ 452 .22.  The Nikon most likely has Parallax set at 100 yards, which is fine.  The main purpose of the .22 is low cost practice to reach out with accuracy with my .308.   This is a win for me.  The really good .22 scopes with adjustable Parallax were busting my budget.  It's funny how some knowledge about something can really make a difference.

  In what universe?  I am not saying they are more talented right now, but an OC vs. HC is hardly a decision.  The main thing hurting us right now is uncertainty over ownership.  Once that gets cleared out, I think you will see a new GM, and head coach.  I think it will all happen before next year.  I think current ownership just made it easier for a buyer to fire the GM and start fresh.  Not that it was hard before, but one less person to fire.   To add, my "in what universe" question may come across a bit strong.  It wasn't meant to.  Hard to convey some questions in writing  :surrender: .

Maybe we should "offer" Rob Ryan to be the Titans new head coach. I'm sure he'd love the opportunity. :P

I wonder if he tried to catch it. Seems really odd (impossible) it would fire from just hitting the floor

I've taken courses at Yeager's place, along with a Army SF guy I know. Yeager himself didn't have too much to do with our course, more the people he has working there (such as Reid at the time). FWIW, I didn't get yelled at, or anything of the sort. Is Yeager someone I'd want to hang out with? No. But I took the course because of who worked there, not really because of him. I learned a lot, and even more impressive to me is the SF fella told me he learned as well, which really stood out to me. I don't care where you do your training or with whom you do it with. I'm not paying for it, I don't care. I'm definitely not telling you that some of the things posted in this thread aren't absolutely true. I just figured since I had actually taken a class there I should speak up. I will personally do my training from here on at Valor Ridge because I'm a fan of Reid's attitude and ethic. As far as the Zero vs. Yeager thing, as far as I know (and I believe the video Zero posted said) Zero does not train civilians, so that comparison is apples to oranges. As far as background, it's my understanding that Zero has a pretty extensive background with Special Forces and private security type folks.

I've ordered from Blade HQ several times with good results.

Anybody contacted whatshisname regarding this thread?   (Hoping for a repeat of the hilarity that ensued). Or did he get banned over it?   - OS

There are a lot of people working in gun stores and pawn shops too that have attitudes. At the first sign of disrespectful or questionable attitude I'm out the door. Oh...and with my money still in my pocket!!

I agree prices are coming down a bit, but still too high and that may be why they have ammo to sell. I hope they choke on it at those prices. I would rather camp out at Wally World then pay a scalpers price Just my :2cents:

  Extra turrets for mine were like 10 or so dollars each -- I can swap calibers in about 3 seconds.   Changing powder is another 30 seconds to swap the disk.  My gear is sort of set up towards that in mind -- it makes ammo fast, and is easy to set up, but its not the highest quality setup out there (lee turret, lee disk powder thingy).   Without the extra turrets, it would be awful, agreed, and a more precise powder device might be harder to set up also.   Them's the tradeoffs, I guess.

Theoretically, you can save money reloading, but no one ever has. :hat:

The posting only needs to be legal to issue you a citation; it doesn’t need to be to ask you to leave. Unless it changed recently we have yet to see anyone cited for carrying past a sign.

16.5 years sober.    I don't worry about it.......anymore.

If it were me I would not try to fire it mainly because I didn't load it. I just really don't have that much faith in other people.
