I've been pretty good about the wait until now. Something about hearing that they are finally done and now I'm sitting here like this:

I'm a pretty private guy despite being at the front of TGO, so all I can say here is that this request is for me and my family and I'd appreciate any prayers you could offer today. Thanks.     Update 11/13/15...   Thanks all for the prayers.  Sometimes the answer we want isn't the one we get.  We're a little sadder in my household tonight but recognize that God is in control and are grateful for His many blessings.   I appreciate everyone who said a few words for us the past few days.  At this point we are simply looking for a period of restoration and healing.

Not sure why you asked us anyway. Seems like it would have been easier to ask your in house expert!

Thank you all for the prayers and responses to the thread.  The responses provide encouragement; the prayers provide the unseen.   This is a medical situation and right now we're just in a holding pattern.  More to come tomorrow but right now we simply have no news, good or bad.  I'd appreciate your continued consideration.

Wow, glad you were able to avert a disaster and rescue her. Just remember, Charlie don't surf neither. :usa:

  If she had just showed the firearm rather than pointing it him it perhaps/likely wouldn't have garnered the charge.   Pointing it at him once he actually moved away, and while standing next to a bystander was especially egregious, and this was the part that undoubtedly got the reckless endangerment count tacked on.   - OS

That's obivously a Direwolf! Lol. Serious note, holy Christ that is a big doggy. Definitely need to get a full body stuff for that thing! Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

You. Are. Evil.

  I don't always buy rats, but when I do, it's from strangers in parking lots at night.

This is a Marble Pattern Carbon Fiber that Protech just started making, I have one coming to me with the TR4 knives I will be checking it out and deciding if this will be the next TGO knife, If this is it it will have the 3 Bullet design in gold on the blade, let me know your thoughts on it, I will not post an official thread until You Are all are ready

Hopefully, this case has garnered enough national attention for some guns rights organizations to make sure she has a decent attorney.    That set up.... buying cigarettes with no lighter sounds like BS... an alibi so he could defend his statement to a cop if things went south in his con or whatever he was doing. I'd like to know what priors this guy has. His retreating to a woman with a small child saying, "she pulled a gun on me" also sounds like a pre-planned action. This just doesn't smell right.    I read somewhere that the surveillance camera showed him walking by her and then coming back. Is that what happened or am I confusing this? I couldn't find any reference to it in the story or the TV news video. If that happened, it would be even more suspicious.   EDITED: Yes... I found it. EDITED AGAIN: Yeah, I agree she didn't handle this right, but she never fired the gun and there's no way a 67-year-old can draw a weapon with a threat 10 feet away.  

Guilty. I even managed to cut myself while trying to cut the excess off a dressing of another cut of mine.

Argh.....I like Cabelas so much more than Bass Pro. That sucks.

I went to Afghanistan for work and got to shoot one of those it appears. We met with a Green beret unit and they let us shoot a bunch of stuff and one of them was a 308 suppressed that looked just like one of those. Got to shoot some distance that I've never shot before. Cool rifle though

You expect the democrats to oppose gun rights issues, but, here in Tennessee Republican lie to us more, at least the Democrats are honest in trying to take those rights away.

I think it was wrong for her to be charged. Common enough robbery prelude: "Hey Lady, ya got a light?" A distraction before a purse snatching in almost every case. If he was within 21 feet of her and aggressive and not stopping his approach when told to, he is in the wrong. You have less than two seconds to stop an assault from someone who gets within 21 feet of you. If it was the Police Officer himself that had been approached in such a manner, the officer would not hesitate to draw down on the aggressor. The woman did not shoot the perpetrator, she just stopped him. A reasonable person, the standard, would be scared out of her wits. Though arrested by the Officer, this is not the final word. The DA will have to get hold of it, and a Grand Jury. This will get No Billed by a Grand Jury. If it got that far, no Jury in the country would convict. IMO.

IN! Call me crazy, but I'd like to see a little more pizzazz. Regardless, take my money.

I'm not that smart on this but I have shot an M14 at 1000 yd sand while it was hitting the target, it was not accurate. I thought it was because the limits of the caliber were passed. Most folks were shooting a 300 win mag for 1k yds. Of course I could be wrong and I'm sure someone smarter will chime in. I would recommend an M1A modern day clone of the M14 for the sheer awesomeness of what it is and if necessary go with a bigger caliber on your build to meet your needs.

    To be fair, theres a world of difference between the average cop, and the average 67 year old lady. 

  If a cop, for whatever reason, catches a glimpse of hydrocodone (prescription or not), he isn't going to immediately think "drugs, shoot him!". If a cop, for whatever reason, catches a glimpse of a firearm unsuspectedly, his first reaction could very well be "gun, shoot him!". At minimum most officers would be put at extreme unease at such a situation. I know one thing, with my Wife and myself (and in this particular case two passengers in the back) parked on the side of a highway at 11:00 PM at night at the mercy of the officer, I want the officer to be as cool and calm as possible.   That's why I turned my dome light on, that's why I made sure my hands were clearly on the steering wheel holding my license and permit, and that's why I made sure to be as respectful and polite to the officer as possible. No, I don't keep my license, registration, or proof of insurance in the same compartment as my Glock 26. But to me, ultimately, it comes down to the fact that I have a permit and I believe it certainly will show up to the officer whenever he runs my license or tag. I am not an officer, have never been an officer, and will likely never be an officer, so I do not pretend to know exactly what an officer might think, but it is certainly a possibility that if they see I have a permit on their system yet I in no way acknowledge it to them voluntarily, they may question as to whether or not I am trying to hide anything (legal or not).   The bottom line is, you do whatever you think is best, I'll do what I think is best.

  True. I don't necessarily always blame the people that stay at home, but only if they are legitimately trying. Going to school full time, applying yourself, and working part time on the side to help pay for gas, bills, etc yet still living at home? Fine, I can let that slide.   Living at home at age 25, never had a job, going to school 2 classes a semester and living off everyone but yourself? Come on!   One of but not the only problem is how it is difficult it can be to find a successful job. I'm not excusing it but simply sympathizing with some of them because it can be difficult to actually find a decent job that pays even a living wage. I was blessed with a fantastic job at 16 that I've stuck with since.   As for kids not really growing up anymore, that's partially very true. May or may not be their fault, but I do partially blame the education system. Seniors in high school are treated like they cannot be trusted and are not capable unless they go to college, then they go to college where they are again treated as if they cannot be trusted.   Personally, I really wish that the education system as a whole was more closely integrated with the workforce. Why is it that it is in a sense promoted that high school graduates dedicate 4-8 years of their life going to school, not working, living off others, digging themselves into massive debt, all for the the promise of a grand job after graduation that may or may not come? My suggestion would be more sane limits student loan limits, requiring work experience during the college experience that takes the place of certain classes, etc.   On the flip side, I wish more people in the workforce were less dependent on a college education. Give people some credit. If they can learn in a college environment, they can learn on the job. I know at my place of work there are some who seem to think that you cannot tie your shoes if you don't have a bachelor's degree. Of course they consider themselves the elites of society and scoff at the idea that anyone blue collar should make as much as they do.   I myself value college and education, obviously there are some professions that are 100% dependent on it (such as surgeons, engineers, etc). But the whole education system is flawed and I feel it has to do with political as well as monetary reasons.

  I am mainly getting it to use on my modern firearms but I saw you wrote it works on Mil-Surp firearms and corrosive ammo ? Thats awesome to hear. On my Mosins I am still using corrosive ammo and use Windex and hot water to clean with . So I may try Balistol on them too .

Maybe it was the closest. Maybe he thought he had a lighter I haven't seen a cig lighter in a car in 10 years Maybe she looked like a smoker. [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven't been hunting out there in over 20 years, but I hunted the southwest part.  My godfather lives in Blanca and I have wanted to join him in a hunt at least once more.  My only advice is to make sure to sight your rifle, 30-06 is fine, when you get there.  The altitude will change your POI enough to matter.

How about you give me that $2500 and I give you a promissary note for the rifle in good faith... Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

It's called "The Good Stuff". I use in all my firearms. Spray it on, then wipe it off.

This is the one that got away from me at Blade show, it sold 10 minutes before I asked for it

I've been through about 3k of 10k I bought about a year ago. Not a single problem. Small pistol loaded in 9, 40, 38, and 357

Another happy M&P10 camper here. Aside from the stupid handguards, I don't think you could build a better gun for another $1,000 than they're charging. I'm a righty, but love the fully ambi features of the Smith. I dropped a 3.5lb single stage trigger in it and WHAMMO! awesome rifle.

I have a Fas1 safe ... I have their standard size, not the new one that is long enough for a suppressor attached, although I have contemplated it!     I've had mine for a couple of years now (Ever since my oldest started crawling) and it has worked flawlessly.  My boys play with the buttons once in a while, and I just reset the lock every night before I go to bed so its ready for me to put the correct code in should I need to.   Looks like they have a Veterans Day sale going on right now.  Its free shipping on any safe I believe. Got this email yesterday:   Use Coupon Code: Veteran 

Kids in a candy shop. All of us. lol

Got my new rifle all together today. It's a 25-45 Sharps MSR. Upper is SRC 25-45 Sharps with 20" stainless Hbar barrel rifle gas system Hand gard is Diamondhead VRS T Bolt & carrier is SRT Reliabolt NIB coated Lower Anderson manufacturing stripped lower PSA LPK DPMS A2 rifle stock and buffer

Your welcome. Glad to be of service to you young guns. Had fun.

She made it through surgery. Doc Pulled out a growth the size of a cantaloupe. Not sure about the pancreas part.Won't know about cancer for 4 days. Thanks again for all of your support. Kids and all are handling all well. !

I think you, Comms and I all suffer from novice impulse control!!  :rock: But that might also be what makes us pretty awesome too. You did see the new 20 I got yesterday in preparation for my ammo purchase this Saturday, didn't you? The 21 just somehow tagged along. LOL

I have a CMMG MK3 CBR AR10 for sale for $1600 in the classifieds. You would have another $900 for good glass and a bipod. I ran it out to 800 yards (range limit) in Colorado. I have 2 and needed to pay for some new house stuff. I'd be happy to let ya take a look at it on Saturday when y'all get that ammo. Juuuuust sayin! I did the build thing on my 300 blk...it got over budget quick. But then again, my impulse control is novice level. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Building one would be fun, but I don’t think you will save any money if you go with quality components. There is no standard for an AR-10 like there is for an AR-15 (Mil-Spec). $2500 should get you there, but you will probably have a rifle you could buy for much less. I have a DPMS 308 Panther, but as soon as Smith & Wesson adds a heavy barrel and quad handguards to their M&P10; I’ll have that.

Happy Veterans day my brothers and sisters call a old battle buddy today we all need to talk every now and again SGT U.S. ARMY 1998-2005

The victim did not disappear.  He stayed and talked to the cops.  He did not talk to the media but I would not have either.

Last time I shipped a firearm I used UPS but let me warn you of this which I was not aware of. UPS will open your package with you standing right their to make sure you are not shipping ammo with the firearm. So with that in mind just package it up but don't seal it. They will do that for you while you watch. I was shipping firearm to an FFL dealer in Minnesota and buyer picked it up there. It cost $38.50 plus insurance of $5.50 to ship it. Another thing, you cannot use a satellite UPS store to ship it. You have to take it to a UPS Hub to ship it. I tried a local store and they informed me that only a HUB could ship firearms. Had to drive to Elm Hill Pike to ship it........JM.. :2cents:

I was a cop in the late 70’s early 80’s. The most common vest was a Second Chance. It would stop a 9mm back then.

On my property I'm not going to turn my back or hide inside while someone is out there who has made it clear his intent to do me harm. I want him where I can see him and shoot him if decides to make good on his threat. I know enough to know that aggressors are emboldened by their victims fleeing. I'll not fault the victim here. He was on his property where he had a right to be. The aggressor could have ended it by simply leaving and moving on. The victim did that by going to his own dwelling. Once there, it changes the calculus of the scenario. The victim would not have been in the wrong to shoot this guy in the face. I would not have shown such restraint.
