What a week this has been. Started off with my POS Company getting put on a 36hr lockdown (pretty short considering) because some winner wanted to steal a pair of BROKEN pvs14s... The next day (thurs) I get a call from the wife saying they are inducing her, good thing we got taken off lockdown. Allison Brooke was born the next day at 1215p CST 4 December. 5 lbs 3 oz 18 inches and stealthier than your average F35. I was told all my life you are never a man until you make a woman, and even then not until you have a child. It has been emotional and stressful, finally got home a few hours ago. I feel at peace, which is something I never thought Id feel. Everyone who has sent me PMs or well wishes I will try to respond to them promptly. 4 days of being in the hospital has overloaded my notifications. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

No law has ever stopped a mass shooting.

So... divine providence, perhaps. We found an AKC registered Doberman breeder who had two pups from a current litter remaining. We will get to bring this little blue Doberman girl home on Christmas Eve. (Photo redacted for opsec because there are weird-ass people on the Internet)

To shoot stuff with, You aren't a country boy I presume.

Well hard to measure whats been prevented...most attacks occur in gun free zones it seems, so what about all the ones that didn't happen in places where there were likely armed  folks?  

Dang; where's Shepherd Master when ya need him? :rofl:

  Hey now.  We were male children when the original trilogy was NEW.  That's why this is a big deal to us.  :)

You haven't been paying attention here. It's because of those Mooslim terrorists that are so abundant here in Tennessee... :ugh:     ;)     I think it's far more likely that the long gun would be stolen from a vehicle than a scenario where I might need one. Hell, even if I did need one I find it unlikely that I'd have time to get it out of my trunk.   I'll continue carry my Glock 19 in my car and hope I don't need it. For those of you carrying an AR with a 1,000 rounds, more power to you! I hope I won't be asking you for help someday if I run dry with my Glock.   ​

I've seen several comments on this and other gun forums about carrying a long gun in the truck or car. I've thought about it, but I can't envision a scenario where I might need it.    If I can get to my car, I'm leaving whatever is the threat. For example, if I were in that party at San Bernardino and got to my car, I'm not getting a weapon and going back in.  If I am in my car, I can't get to the long gun without getting out of the car. (Not quite true for some cars, but definitely not easy to get to.)   So what are scenarios where I might need to carry a long gun?    

For the last few days all the news networks have been having people on that say the “good guys with guns” have never stopped a mass shooting. A mass shooting being defined as four or more people shot (I think that's what they said). I’m thinking....what a load of crap. No armed citizen has ever stopped a potential shooter anywhere? Didn’t I see not too long ago a workplace shooter shot at some exec and the exec pulled a gun and killed him? I guess if you have to wait for four deaths what they are saying may possibly be true; but at face value I can’t believe there aren’t many cases of an armed citizen stopping a shooter. We need someone on our side with the facts to produce!

I had a 410 when I was younger. A 20ga pump or even better a semi isn't much more recoil than a single shot 410. A 410 is much harder to hit with even for me now and I'm better than average at hitting stuff on the wing. It has less shot flying and therefore more difficult to hit with. It certainly doesn't do much for your self esteem when you can't hit what you put the bead on. A 410 will frustrate even an experienced shotgunner who is used to throwing a larger payload. A 20 ga is the best option IMO, I was 10 when I got my 20ga.

How old is he,20 ga.too big?410 ammo is expensive!

Meh, I split the diff, keep a basic 10.5" AR pistol behind the seat.. It's bout as accurate as a rifle up to 100 yards, and with ~ 2700 fps soft points in there should be plenty effective. Plus I get 20-30 quick tries. :) Only got about five bills in it, but it's plenty reliable ... sure, would hurt to lose it, but the comfort it gives me being there is worth the risk. And should circumstances ever require it, can even tote it around on my person: - OS

  Yeah, his youth and good looks will contrast nicely against the old bag,  also likely to draw the Hispanic vote, stuff like that. Also, my mother likes him. :)   - OS

Those tiny things can fly at about 800 feet per second! :rofl:

Thank you guys for all the kind words. We found out Friday that we are having a girl. So far name wise we are leaning toward Remi. I'm sure you can't guess why Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The reason i carry a rifle in my truck is because of what i have in my house. If i come home to someone in my home it is a safe assumption they have killed my dogs and have guns, perhaps even my guns. And without a long gun I am at a disadvantage.

I'm more worried that so many adult males are so into Star Wars.

Christie is a Democrat by every definition. I would rather chop all my fingers off than hit the vote button for him. I called that when he first broke out into the political scene and he went on to further remove gun rights after he was elected. I can only assume he would do the same on a national level.

Be prepared for the worst and hope for the best.

For me a lot of it is wildlife. Coyotes harrassing live stock are a major problem as are hogs destroying crops and pasture. Either one of those is good call for a long gun. Also if there is an active shooter in the area or engaging me, my goal is gonna be to use my pistol as a weapon to get me to my truck and my rifle. If I can drive away safely I will, but it's possible you may get to the car and risk being shot trying to drive away. Sent from behind the anvil

Here's my best, I am 99 percent sure you do not have to. However, I strongly advise you do, as I'm sure you already knew. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love it when a complicated situation can be explained in such simple terms! * Democrats don't understand THE DEBT CEILING * Republicans don't understand THE DEBT CEILING * Liberals don't understand THE DEBT CEILING * NO ONE understands THE DEBT CEILING SO, allow me to explain ... Let's say you come home from work and find there has been a sewer-backup in your neighborhood. Your home has sewage all the way up to your ceiling. What do you think you should do? 1. raise the ceiling, or 2. pump out the :poop: ? Your choice is coming in November 2016

Turn him loose on the PSA website.

If Christie would win and be the GOP Presidential candidate, I would write in Mickey Mouse and vote for him before I would vote for Christie.

Christie is just desperate to gain points ahead of the primaries. He'll always be my last choice on the GOP side.

This is my 4th attempt to get this thread to post so I'm going to cut it short.   Yesterday I tested 2 of the Magpul G17 mags and they worked just fine. Fit an finish was pretty cheap and worse than I was expecting from Magpul but I was happy there were zero malfunctions.   At $15 a piece you'll have to determine if these are worth giving a shot. CDNN always has factory Glock magazines for $19.99 so there isn't a ton of savings.   Personally, I think the Magpul mags would have more value if they were in the $12-13 price range.   Anyways, I just thought a few of you would find this valuable.    

  That's the model trying to clamp down on what remains of his dignity.

What's weird about it? The nut usually doesn't fall far from the tree. You'd better start taking these folks seriously.

Congratulations

She's going to kill me for this.... But I have to give it to her. My wife hates guns (Why she married me I still don't know). She came out to a photoshoot yesterday to support me and brought a book to read and she got asked to be a model shooting, thankfully she said yes and had an ok time. She didn't try to kill me on the ride home, so I guess it was bearable. Haha. She's shot with me at a range 4 times in the 6.5 years we have been married. So this was a big stepping stone. Plus she HATES AKs. Made for quite the experience.   https://youtu.be/JctwG689ovY  

And if successful it would not be a mass shooting. Kind of as catch 22. On one hand if a good guy with a gun did stop a mass shooter it would be a failure to some because at least four were killed. But if successful in preventing a mass shooting it would not even be classified as a mass shooting. Just another example of setting up criteria to make sure it fits a certain narrative

It's simple, my hand gun is for protection, and to get to my truck. My sub is there if when I get to my truck and you are between me and the exit.

Au contaire, Russia has mall ninjas too

A few minutes experimenting with it and you can get 30 boxes in a .50 cal can for a total of 1500 rounds.  Nice.     I am mildly disappointed with the .308 Win boxes.  No reasonable combination [without crushing the boxes and making it difficult to remove] will let you get more than 480 rounds per can.  It's a fair trade off though to have my ammo in a more user friendly "dispensary" fashion.     Overall, I'm really happy with them, although I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how exhausting it can be after the first couple thousand.  

This is going to kill my gun budget but the knife addiction wins.  This knife will have a spot reserved for it in my safe beside the first TGO knife.

Saw this on FB. Just had to throw it in. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JMH42/media/Wyatt%20and%20Doc_zpszok3elwu.jpg.html][/URL]

This is what I'm doing. Ditching he .45 XDs and buying a M&P in .40 and full size. .40 because I'll have one caliber for all handguns Full size because I want more rounds, and I don't care if I'm printing. "Yes, I do have a gun under my shirt. Don't like that? Too bad, I don't care." It would still suck very badly to get hit by a .40... so haters go on and hate

Very wrong, but oh so right.  He's lucky he didn't get shot.   I am going to have to re-use the triple F-up line.

  ;)   But seriously, I dunno in good conscience if I could give her that special consideration myself -- hell sounds like she's spooky enough she might have pointed the damn thing at me if I'd just walked by her. And if I happened to have sneezed while doing it maybe she'd have blown my goober off or something.   - OS

  A bunch more high rise/high dollar apartments and condos. I've always wondered just who the hell are these people moving to Nashville and where are they coming from?

Most people lose sight of the fact that the RTF guns were the result of after action reports from secret squirrel units that do everything wearing gloves that wanted something with a more aggressive grip. They were not really designed with concealed carry against skin in mind , they were designed for carry in exposed holsters and tac gear and being used in harsh conditions by guys wearing gloves. 

Dutchies are intelligent, high energy and loyal dogs. More active (generally) than GSDs but not as nuts as Mals. Of course, I'm a fan of rescues over buying from dog breeders. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats! Everything you know is now officially wrong.

I went with two years and the free cap. Male pattern baldness helped with that decision. :lol: :lol:
