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

  Not just that, but they double dip on the welfare gravy train by cashing in on individual welfare as well.  Not like welfare recipients are holding a high month to month balance in the account, they're spending it as it comes in, and that's money business wants just like any other, just has a wait period to clear .gov processing before it hits the corporate account.   Walmart comes to mind as the obvious culprit, since two years ago they had 18% of food stamp spending in the US, equaling $14 billion in actual revenue, and even went as far to warn shareholders about it in their annual report that cuts to SNAP would mean cuts to profits.  Of course they need to protect that cash flow and are part of the lobbying crusade to ensure restrictions aren't placed on what foods benefits can purchase.   Rigged system plain and simple.

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

The funny thing about welfare abuse in this country is that corporations get about $40 billion more, i.e. about 36% more than citizens, and yet nobody bats an eye. Ending corporate welfare, limiting regulation, abolishing the federal reserve, and establishing a sound monetary policy in this country, even if you did absolutely nothing to change social welfare policy, would have massive, positive effects on our economy, but everyone goes bat shit crazy because a dude wants a steak. To say that we have bigger fish to fry is a gross understatement.

  M44 Mosin: When you need to shoot an attacker and light them on fire at the same time. :D

I started keeping a cheap AK in the truck after that incident up in New York with 100+ crotch rocket riders attacking that family in the SUV on the interstate. I can't think of too many circumstances where I'd need a rifle, but I know if one comes up I won't be wishing I had one. Would I trust a cheap AK with my life? Of course. I've handled and fired hundreds of AKs in my time. I haven't used one yet that didn't go bang every time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I doubt he saw anything wrong with what he said. I don't think people realize these folks actually believe this crap.

I truly believe a rescued dog knows you rescued it. That said, my full akc dogs from breeders have been great dogs as well. I believe dogs are a product of their environment. They emulate their owners, basically like kids. I would say go to a shelter. The dog will pick you.

A carbine in the truck to me is just the next logical step in getting me home. My first thought is in most recent times the BLM protestors blocking roadways. Granted blocking a road alone is not a cause for pulling the trigger, but what if you run into that amount of attackers armed? Or just simply violent? I like 90 rifle rounds over 30 pistol from my Glock 19 in that scenario. If you drive a vehicle with a fold up rear seat, this is something I saw that seems like a very legitimate way of mounting one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The flaw is assuming that the mags we all buy are to be carried all at once.  Mags are consumable items.  Eventually they break, wear out, get lost, etc.  If you cannot buy them later, you cannot have enough of them right now.

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.

This popped up Sunday night while BHO was on TV.      NRA Life membership -  $300   https://membership.nrahq.org/forms/signup.asp?campaignid=XM026737   Enjoy!   Mark   UPDATE - - - Appears that the $300 Life was a FBHO special that is no longer active.  However, I still encourage everyone to consider joining the NRA now before the rates go up 1 Jan 2016. 

And patchouli

Well hell, I guess I'll take my usual #16 in damascus.

And I am thoroughly pwning a few of these folks tonight on Facebook.  :usa:

Well I know I told you to go do the baby thing this weekend but now that its official...congrats. Your world is about to take a change for the best. But you should definitely buy a flamethrower. Dads with guns are scary. Dads with flamethrowers are perceived as unstable and therefore terrifying. (If you really want to sell it get a steel chair and 2 sets of handcuffs attached to the arms...then sit that little ba$tard in it and then work on your speech. I know you have a few years but its best to be prepared.) Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

You are right about that.  It would be good for the whole gun industry.  Imagine all the AR manufacturers offering their rifle WITH a suppressor.  Factory tuned rifles from the top shelf companies.  Integrally suppressed hunting rifles.  The industry would explode.  Not just for the tactical crowd either.  Imagine if Weatherby offered a factory suppressed .300 Weatherby mag hunting rifle?  There are a lot of hardcore hunters who would LOVE that.   The guys in marketing at every major gun manufacturer should be slobbering at the mouth for this.  

  A lot of pet stores have gone to exclusively offering pets from local shelters and rescue organizations. I know the PetCo near me has an adoption day every Saturday. I have to stay away from that area on Saturdays as I already have 3 dogs and 2 cats.

These Damascus blades are not only beautiful but are for use, I carry mine and it is great, after I seen that Dave the owner of Protech actually uses his knife, I started doing the same they are great carry blades that look awesome

There will also come a day when your daughter becomes a woman and finds the two men in this photo incredibly attractive especially Mr. Muscles on the door. That's the day you're screwed. ;)

I've been a life member for about 3 years.  The solicitation doesn't bother me in the least. If I get snail mail or emails I either give 'em a few bucks if I can, or I toss/delete the request. Pretty much the same on the occasional phone call. I either give a little or tell them no-can-do right now. The conversation ends with no pressure at all. Now that I think about it. I haven't had a phone call in a very long time, but then, it's still not a big thing at all to me. I'd say without them and the donations that are made allowing them to fight the gun grabbers, we'd be talking about the "good 'ol days when we had guns" if anything at all. 

Guess I'm going to need to do some extra leather work. Willis, I'm in for a Damascus blade if there is still one available. EDIT:  Question... the damascus blade is still good for use, right?  I know some damascus blades are really just for looks.  I'd like to have this one available for carry.

Saddleback leather. Made in Texas I think. I have one and after about a year it is just now getting nice and broken in. This is definitely the best wallet and probably leather good I have ever had. His company motto is " your kids will fight over it when your gone." Has a lifetime guarantee as well. 100% top quality. I can't recommend it enough.

 I live on a dead end road that is on Douglas lake.  You would not believe how many dogs are dropped off here .  About 5 years ago the sweetest lab pup came on my property and made her way under my deck.  She soon found her way into my heart and needless to say she's been my buddy ever since.  I being 80 have had many dogs in my life never a lab and it's scary how attached to her I am.  I could go on and tell stories of how we get along like so many dog lovers do. If I could litter train dogs like ya can train cats I'd have a 100. 

Black friday overloaded them - they shipped my order 4 days late. Ill be calling to let em know their logisticians are FUBAR and act entitled and get some free crap. /sarcasm Xtreme is a real good company, this free shipping jacked them up fierce. Usually they ship within a day and it gets where it needs to 2-3. I order most of my Xtreme stuff from a fellow named Wes Sage on Facebook, he is usually cheaper and can beat shipping on big orders - I only order from extreme when they do 10% off my favorite offerings and/or free shipping.

Having a child changes you as a person.  Having a daughter changes you as a man.

I say spoil yourself. Life's short.

We were looking for a dog a few years back.  A coworker had a family member who was having to downsize from a house to an apartment.  She had a rotty.   I have had many dogs but never a rotty,  Well ,we went to just look at the rotty (I didn't think that one through,, when you take your wife and two young kids to look at a dog you are coming home with said dog)   One of the best dogs we ever had.   He was a teddy bear...to a point....he loved people loved to meet new people but he was very protective over us and loved the kids. When he barked or growled it got your attention and when he did the wife and I knew something was usually not right.   We had to have him put down due to health reasons in 2012 we are still not past it.    I have met a lot of Rotty people, most have a pack of them. I always thought they were weird people   I never understood it until we got ours.

  I used to deliver pizzas a long, long time ago.  You get a lot of calls to the projects when you're a pizza delivery guy.  You'd be amazed at the expensive, new vehicles I saw there.  It doesn't surprise me at all when I see career welfare recipients driving nicer cars than I could afford.  I, on the other hand, couldn't afford a new vehicle until 11 years ago.  It was the first new vehicle I ever bought, and I still drive it today.  Plan on driving it for the next 10 years, then pass it down to my son.    It's examples like these which give me cause to believe that people who are perpetually poor and on the government titty are in that position because they make bad decisions as a rule.   ETA: You'd also figure that with those nice new cars they'd have money for a tip.  Alas, that was not the case.  Not one time.  Ever.

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

Be prepared for the worst and hope for the best.

Once you have enough supplies of all kinds (food, water system, personal supplies, etc.) to last you and yours for a long while, then yes, adding shelf-stable things that you can and will trade away with no detriment to you is a good idea. Those can be smaller items like you mentioned for small transactions (bar of soap in exchange for box of nails, for example) or they can be more valuable items like full propane tanks, hand tools, etc. Bottles of liquor are pretty good to have on hand too.     Or you die of natural causes having never experienced the apocalypse and your legacy in your local town is to always be remembered as that crazy old man with a bedroom full of soap.

As it has been said in the other threads, all of this is going on to get closer to the ultimate goal of closing down the fairgrounds for redevelopment. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

  That's Nashville's $10 hooker street. Their sugar comes with flies.

  9 in the pipe, unless you are shooting one of those girlie shotguns. :)

My rule of thumb is to have at least twice the number of mags as I will ever carry.  As mentioned above, mags are consumable. They wear out, get damaged, dropped, and lost with amazing frequency when you're under pressure. In the '80's I had an acquaintance who was a Panzer grenadier during WWII.  He said that he carried a captured PPSh41 with at least eight drums. (That's 568 rounds!) When I was in the Army, I typically carried a dozen M16 30rd mags.  (Just 360 rds)   When I shoot submachine gun competitions with my Sterling, I carry 10 34rd mags.   For handguns, I usually carry two spares.  That should be enough to fight my way to a rifle.   So, my recommendations are to have at least six mags for each handgun, and 20-30 mags for your rifles.  More is always better.

I LOVE this idea, something I never thought of. And that looks nearly identical to my back seat in my truck.

LagerHead, you are absolutely right.  I will say though, that's not exactly in our face day to day, which may be why they get by with SO much.  

I've  got 24# of powder and 60,000 Large Pistol Primers and about 8500 200grn. 45cal. SWC. Getting ready to place an order for 10,000 more SWC. sometime this week.( I've got about 12,000 45's loaded up and about twice that amount in empty brass just waiting to be filed). :usa:

My dues are paid up for several years in advance, but I'd buy a Life Membership, if it'd get them off my back about asking for more money. :D

Congratulations! Welcome to the club, I've got two little girls, you're so screwed. :D

I don't live in Nashville, but this seems to be the goal to me and the anti gunners can kill 2 birds with one stone by getting the opportunity to bash those "evil" gun shows at the same time promoting their agenda and getting a lot of air time in the local MSM.

Since I am carrying my Ruger sp101 revolver, I have 5 in the pipe ;)
