From Facebook with his permission ... So I was robbed at gun point and driven all over this God forsaken country and I just said just go ahead and shoot me you piece of ×××× before I kill your whole family. Miraculously I was thrown out of the car with my backpack. I would just like to thank my company for screwing up my flights and landing me in the worse place on earth. He is ok , just a little pissed , good thing he did not have a Protech handy ... :)

No, you're not misunderstanding me at all.  The only third party I'm actively going to protect is my better half. Not much of an issue since I am rarely if ever in public.  BUT, the world needn't ask me to ever choose between a crowd of people and my wife cause it'll be her....every time.  I don't care how many fall behind us.       If there were a scenario where she was safe and I could take a clean shot at some murdering nut, yeah, I probably would but I'd have to feel VERY confident in her safety first, as well as mine because I'm pretty much all she has and she's CERTAINLY all I have.  Wouldn't hesitate to die for her but wouldn't jeopardize myself only to leave her behind and alone.

Some people live their lives on the ragged edge. That dude will prob live to be 100. Me....I'd be squashed within the hour

You avoid this situation by minding your own.  You and yours. Sound selfish?  Ohh well.  My gun's for me and my wife.  Everyone else gets a 911 call as I'm redlining the engine in the opposite direction.     As with everything in life, that's not set in stone and decisions will be made on a case by case basis as they present themselves.  Just a general rule of thumb.  

  Not at malls they wouldn't,  they are pretty much all posted,

Khloe is clearly in a better mood after a day at the doggy spa.

....and he's gonna get a five dollar foot long.

I am just glad he got the Protech knives in the mail before he left.  It would have sucked if something had happened and we didn't get our knives..... :hiding:                                                           Just kidding of course.  Glad you are ok.  Have a safe trip home. Everything you do for this forum is appreciated.  :up:

Khloe wasn't ready to wake up this morning.

I liked the judges remarks at the trial. At sentencing, Jared was crying about how his wife and kids would never be able to get over the situation. The judge told him, you gave your wife 7 million in the divorce, she'll be fine.

I love me some Pappy, but for the price its Christmas bourbon...some nights you just have to slum it. Chicken is on the big green egg, fire is going, cigar is lit, and music is playing. Unfortunately my kid pooped in the tub so I chose to say I needed to "monitor the grill" and slum it with a garage pour of Wild Turkey and diet coke as opposed to risking going inside for some of the good stuff.

Something everyone could use a little more of in their bag...skills.  In theory, one with enough skills could get by on what you could fit in your old lady's purse.  God knows i could use a lot more practice at everything.  

I really enjoyed the bottle of Pappy 15 I had.  Hype be damned, I liked it a lot.  I would buy another if I could walk in pay and not have to hound anyone, I really hate asking repeatedly for stuff, and then they have to be the gate keeper of who gets some and who doesn't.  I hate more than anything that Elmer T Lee isn't on the shelves now, that was one of the best buys period, and no one cared until he died, now its like a unicorn.  I quit asking for it, I got a bottle about a year ago and haven't opened it yet, but its not long for this world.  Time to drink it and find something else good.  

So, if you want the absolute best single stage reloading press, the Forster Co-Ax is it.  The only issue with it is is doesn't come in a kit.     I know we have a lot of Lee fans on this site, but I am not one of them.  Their press is ok, but for me their other components in a kit are junk (again, just my opinion).     For a kit, and quality in general, I personally recommend RCBS.  It will last forever and they have great service.    They will all get the job done, but I don't know anyone disappointed in the RCBS set.  Quality ammo is a bit subjective to each person, but for me, a Turret press cannot product the same level of quality and consistency that a single stage can.  And as mentioned, in single stages, the Co-Ax is tops.   Lots of good options out there these days.  

  This is the simple truth.  Pappy is not worth the money nor the hassle.  It has become legendary only due to it's controlled limit quantity nature.

Could've of been worse fer sure. Good luck with the "inexpensive" tree service.

Sometimes having a boring 9-5 job doesn't seem all that bad. Glad he's okay and can't wait to hear the rest of the story.

Damn that sucks; wait just a sec, guns have been banned down under???

Look at the Lee Classic Turret presses, they will do all you want it to.  http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/0000690304/Classic-Turret-Press-Kit-by-LEE-RELOADING-PRODUCTS

The next few weeks through the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years holidays are going to be worthy of tremendous caution on the part of anyone with common sense and even an inkling of self-preservation.   As for me and mine, we definitely plan to...   Avoid malls Avoid movie theaters Avoid large advertised gatherings of people Go armed everywhere we can Not go anywhere we can't   Worth your consideration:   Former CIA Double Agent/Al Qaeda Member: Another Attack Coming in '2 Weeks' http://insider.foxnews.com/2015/11/17/former-al-qaeda-terrorist-america-may-face-copycat-terror-attack

I understand that.   Jacks aren't meant to hold weight. You jack it up, and you put the stands under it, then you remove tension on the jack. Thus only the stands are holding weight. You keep the jack in an approximate position, but it doesn't hold any weight.  You don't continue to use the jacks once it is on the stands. As you found out, that is asking for trouble.

Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to the dark side.

:stunned:  :squint:    Oh my stars and garters!

Sounds like you know what you are doing, and that's good. But be careful...always. Climbing and cutting is risky...at best.

Glad he's going in. I'm afraid he will end up in a protective unit or some such, to general population where he belongs. Wish the judge had been able to sentence him to 18 years though, maybe after serving a sentence like that the number would sick in his head a bit better. Of course, we may get some sweet, sweet prison justice and he'll be more concerned with things sticking where the sun don't shine than just in his head. JMHO*           *For Bersa

He's a bit east of the mid-state, but Mike over at Law Enforcement Sales is the most professional Class III person I've dealt with.  You'll only have to drive over once to pick it up.

I don't think he was in Australia when this happened.  He was due to be working off the coast of South Africa this month.

Here's my motley crew. All are rescues. Left to right is Francie, Ruger, Sissy, and Cassie.

Gee...that's too bad.

Wow...never a dull moment with that guy.

Not bad for only 10 years old

  Damn.  We're going through this right now too, Todd.  After the Dobie had to be put down a month ago due to kidney disease, our last Boston (and the best dog of the whole bunch - hands down) is literally dying of what we figure is a broken heart.  She has all but stopped eating and refuses to, barfs up anything she does eat, and is slowly getting to the point where she won't drink.  The vet said that they couldn't find anything wrong with her, but she's wasting away.   We've been trying to get the local GSD rescue to return emails as we're highly interested in adopting one of their dogs, but these people just have gone completely radio-silent on us.  It's really aggravating.   Regardless, we may have to make the hard decision this weekend to go ahead and put the Boston down.  She's hardly got any strength left at this point.

I'm very glad the judge went above the plea deal cap (Fogle agreed to 5yrs minimum, the prosecution agreed to seek 12.5yrs max) by giving him 15yrs, 8 months, and saying that he isn't even eligible for release for good behavior until at least 13yrs have been served.

Inmates running the asylum.  Sounds right for progressives. 

Hey Josh (Great last name, I share it!) I was looking at a few of the 'fancier' model pistols out there, but figured for the first one I'd just go straight w/ the factory configuration. In 3-months I'll be asking about Fiber Optic sights, then lasers... THEN, a trigger, LOL! No, I agree, the Ruger's smooth as glass, really finely manufactured piece. I really notice a difference between the wife's pistol and my M&P (but her's won't hold 17!) I would have liked to have tried the larger one's (like the 9E, etc.), but wanted something more compact than a full-size model to aid concealment. I like being able to carry the M&P Compact w/ the 12-round clip, but bring the 17-round as a backup. So far I'm pretty happy.   .... and I got to go to Orientation at the Oak Ridge Sportsman's Association last night, so now it's off to the Bulk-Ammo shops, and put some rounds through these suckers! LOL!

  And a pinky finger is 50 points. That's Buford's personal favorite.

Re: the phone call thing.... My wife calls me within 5 minutes of me entering a gun shop, without fail. Every frickin time. Witchcraft if you asked me. Nice new toys.

I also am not a fan of the .380.  I would rather have a 9mm or a .small 38 spl. I have a S&W Mdl 38 Air Weight Bodyguard that goes where ever I go.   Harvey's Pistol and Pawn was running a special on S&W Shields in 9mm and 40S&W for $329 last week.  They also had full size and compact M&P's in 9mm, 40S&W and .45ACP for $379 of you bought it that day.  They also do lay-a-way, for up to 10 months, as long as you pay 10% down and 10% a month.   A little double stack 9mm that I love is a Taurus PT111 Millennium G2 (not the Pro).  I've had mine for over a year now and it's ran flawlessly since I got it (over 500 rounds now).  You can get these for $199 at several places around East Tennessee.   I realized I was rude in not welcoming you to our site and o our fair state.  Welcome to both and welcome to a bit more freedom than you experienced in the People's Republic of New York!  We could still improve somethings in this state when it comes to freedom, but I think we are on the right road! :)

  Thanks Jonin, yes, I'm very hesitant to 'pull the trigger' and buy anything. So far I am noticing various qualities to different guns that I like, and the local store's staff here is pretty good (I liked the trigger on the Ruger, but the LCP felt too small... Here, try this Springfield!) Frankly, I haven't found one I really like just yet.   There's quite a few competing demands I'm trying to balance out... and maybe I'm placing importance on factors that I shouldn't be?   My wife and I are both going to acquire personal carry pieces, and I'm trying to keep them from the same manuf.... thinking ease of parts/tools, cleaning, accessories, etc., will be improved (*but by all means, correct me if that assumption is false*) It's not a given, I may go w/ a Springfield 9 while she gets a Ruger .380... but I like the M&P line also, and the Bodyguard model would fit her needs... and I do like the single-stack M&P Compact? :lol: I liked the Springfields I've tried, but she said she doesn't like the 9's, too much for her.   I want(ed) to stay in the same caliber as my wife, so that we can buy bulk, reload, etc., cheaper and more easily. Again, please correct me if that assumption is off target. That being said, I agree w/ the above statement about a common police/military caliber (Jonin, you were in on that rifle discussion...), and may decide to carry a 9 for myself. I doubt I'll explore the larger sizes, 9's got more than enough BANG for me.   IMO - and I raise my hand and admit I'm a newbie here - I think quality ammo in .380 is capable of ruining some perp's day, and I can play w/ it all day long at the range. I can find a variety of small guns that conceal easily and are quality instruments that will go bang when someone pulls the trigger. I've been able to narrow things down fairly well, and am trying to find sample guns to try (even dry-firing @ the showroom tells you a lot - especially the trigger!). I was kinda disappointed a week ago, talking w/ another fellow who was @ the range trying out his brandy-new LCP, mentioned my wife was thinking of buying one but wanted to try it first (pointed, mentioned that she was in the next stall over w/ the Glock42). He said he wasn't very pleased w/ it, but it was his first time out, packed up his stuff, and walked away... D'oh! Was hoping he'd offer my wife a few rounds, dang! Is it rude to come right out and ask "Hey, can I take a few shots w/ your gun?", I don't know proper range etiquette? Is that like asking to dance w/ someone's wife? :lol:   Waiting for membership papers from the local outdoor's man's club. Hoping if I spend some time prowling the pistol range, I'll get to try a few other makes and models, and can make a more informed decision. Wifey's itching to get something, anything... but she understands a 400-dollar mistake isn't in our best interest right now. So far the Ruger is the only one she's really liked, but we haven't fired it (not avail. for rent, only 6 rnds of try-before-buy), but I think the .380 Bodyguard from S&W would appeal to her too (also avail try-before-buy), and then I would be looking at the M&P line for my own, likely the compact-9. However I'm not going to force myself into a particular pistol if I don't like it... I'm a lot more flexible than she is, so trying to accommodate her needs first.   'Course the way things have been going, SHE'LL be the one itching for a 'collection'. Gawd, I'm so glad I married her sometimes!   - K  

I wish I had enough great pistols to where I couldn't remember If I had a Browning Hi Power or not.
