  Alcohol.

This is all I have to add.

Life is too short to watch that crap!

A liberal friend (wait, I don’t have any liberal friends) acquaintance asked me after the Paris shooting what I thought he needed to defend his home. He has College Degrees I might add! I suggested as minimum: I advised a 9mm, a couple clips, and a box of shells. A few days later, he sent me this picture and asked how to make it work. [url=http://s218.photobucket.com/user/softbaitmaker/media/Misc/liberal%20house%20protection_zpswg0utmmy.jpg.html][/URL] any questions?????

Ladies and Gentlemen these two will be my last 2 additions for a while...splurged a little for Christmas.

Warm salt water gargle and flush sinuses 2-3x daily.    Mucinex (store brand), Ibuprofen, and Flonase.    Green tea with a squirt of lemon and shot of bourbon (my version of a hot toddy).    Rest.   Patience to wait it out. 

Well my secret Santa obviously knows me well lol. Got me some tie downs, one of those infernal bouncing orange targets (good trainers), M-Pro 7 and the almighty 10mm brass. And the perfect note card! Hell to the Yeah. Merry Christmas Santa Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

... ahahaha!

Poor Steve. The guy probably can't show his face in public. People have taken their own life for less. I feel bad for him. At least he's still got Wheel of Jeopardy to fall back on.

I got a leatherman wingman.   I use a multitool at work quite a bit, and the fact that this one has spring loaded pliers makes it a winner.   Thanks a bunch Santa! Will definitely put it to good use.

  Send me some whiskey and I'll send you not two, but THREE of the stickers.  :)

When BigK and I met you in Smyrna... I thought you were a nice guy.... I will never unsee this...... My star wars related reaction

  Thanks very much for the concern folks as it is very much appreciated. I explained in earlier post how I feel about most doctors these days and I have contacted mine and she has told me what to do and is calling me in something that will take care of it. She said she has seen a rash of this in past week to 10 days and says there is no sense in me driving 70 miles one way for this when I have to see her in mid January anyway for my semi annual checkup. I got my Flu shot and Pneumonia shot back in October so should be good to go there. 

Well, I got my Secret Santa gift this morning. It is a Visa Gift Card and I am very happy to receive it. I have always said you cannot go wrong with cash when trying to find someone a gift you don't know well. I can already think of a few things I can do with it........... :rofl:    Thank you Secret Santa. You could not have pleased me more........... :up: :up:

Sometimes you just need a desk pop.

    They do.  But it's difficult to distinguish from the ambient funk that is NJ.  Or, all the union operators were already timed out this week.

I don't think I realized this was still a thing.

Well damn. I live in Columbia and went to school in Lewisburg. I don't agree. I love it here.

That has to be a Photoshop, Hillary Clinton hates America.

#6 for the year and I'm done. Gonna try and get my boy on his first during the juvenile hunt or maybe before. Shot this doe with a 6.8SPCII. Stag Model 5 upper with a lower I built from PSA parts and Magpul furniture. Killed 3 does and a 9 point on the muzzleloader and a 7 point and this doe during rifle. Been a great season, I've seen more deer and passed more deer than I ever have.

This thread is worthless without pics...

Why does a liberal need to defend their home?  Aren't they educated enough to talk the bad guy out of any criminal intentions? :shrug:

Lol. He doesn't know how to use the 3 seashells.... https://www.youtube.com/embed/rBI8uCKi2lI?autoplay=1&FORM=VIRE1&MID=2500&PC=APPL

My secret Santa went way above and beyond also. This is a fantastic gift and i'm amazed by the craftsmanship in these knives. I've drooled over them on the TGO for a long time. I'm very happy to say i now own one. Thanks again Santa--I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

It looks like this in real life https://youtu.be/s8syKVfUc7Y

Wowza! Congrats on the 15! That's awesome! Monkey's gonna be a tad jealous if he sees that. But I think his 14 full bottles of other stuff should soften the blow. He cracked his Woodford 1838 style white corn tonight. He's yawning already. LOL

  I've actually never had it honestly. I had the 23 earlier this year "not a bottle, but a couple of glasses" and it set the bar pretty damn high lol not sure what to expect of the 15 but I'm going to crack it open on Christmas and enjoy it with my dad. That much I do know.

Check out the Beretta PX4 45, great shooting, very accurate, standard rail for light/laser, you won't be sorry.

Maybe some Chip McCormick 10rd mags are in order for a 1911 on nightstand duty?

they all look like dolls -- literally, their faces look plastic with the lights and makeup.   If I had that much makeup on, I could probably win too --- its thick enough to cover my stubble.

Well, mine came into today love the bore snake! They are really handy to keep on the vehicle or something when you are traveling. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gonna try a little revo action.

Seriously. Her mother never read the books or chucked a polyhedral die in her life, but she let me name her Takhisis. Outside of certain circles I think only one or two people have ever caught it. But Dragonlance taught me a valuable lesson about cannon. I went read it unless W&H wrote it. Everything else is fanfic. And even they can be wrong. Like for an entire age. That made watching all of the Expanded Universe go *poof* easier to deal with. Sent from my LGLS740 using Tapatalk

  Oh, I'm always interested in another 1911...  :D  

My eyes will never be the same again. Things like this should be illegal or come with warning labels that says "Open at your own risk." .................. :shake: :shake:

My father gave this to me yesterday. Being the ever active tinkerer he is, he decided to put new handles on this one he found with broken handles. It isn't original by any means, but I thought it turned out quite well.

Sig 5.56 pistol for me. I keep a single point sling on and a 20 round mag inserted at all times. Fits in a standard size backpack. The pack has a hydration sleeve in it for a bladder. I keep (4) 30 round mags in the front pouch. I also keep a buffer tube with a sig brace mounted on it in the front pouch. It is nice and stealthy. I can roll out of the car pretty quickly with it and using the single point sling for a cheek weld I can provide highly accurate fire out to 25 yards no problem. If the unthinkable were to happen and I'm walking home with a deployed carbine I can remove the back plate and screw the buffer tube with sig brace on it in about a minute. That empties out the backpack and provides a space for weather appropriate gear and clothing along with a few mre's. I always keep a case of water in the truck for when I'm travelling so i fill the bladder up and I'm pretty much ready to go. Last piece is a battle belt with a pistol holster, light holder and pistol and AR mag holders. That stuff stays in my get home bag. I keep more in my bag but that is for getting caught in weather related road closings. Has happened a few times to me. My total load out with weapons, ammo,food, and water is about 30#'s. My days of carrying a 60-70 pound pack are years behind me. Mark

  I enjoyed the first three, lost interest during the second three, over it a long time now. I'll catch it on the small screen one of these days.   - OS

It is a WMA permit, but also required to kill does during rifle season.

Well If you take a closer look at the Ruger SR9/40/45 platforms alongside their Glock counterparts you'll understand why they have somewhat of a Glock feel to them. While not a total clone they are close enough to be first cousins. Grip angle and dimensions give the Ruger's an agreeable feel. Additionally for all the ballyhooing of M&P superiority over the Glock platform...follow the same line of though I just mentioned above. In the end most folks who become the biggest fan boy's for a particular striker fired pistol are doing so because that particular grip angle feels better to them. Some though are all about the brand name. Me? I retain the right to change my mind.   

When I was younger, say 20+ years ago, I modified everything.  Cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATV, jetskis, guns, myself (weight, working out, hair styles), and etc, but I never modified women, always kept them they way they came (they usually modified themselves).  Anyway where was I, experience has taught me.......................just keep it simple and the way it left the factory.   Reliability means more than window dressing and some performance enhancement gadgets.  Trust me, it may sound cool, may even be cool, but aftermarket items, and DIY tricks, increase the risk of failure and malfunction.  Trust me, I use to hold hands with Murphy a lot, but I noticed Murphy showed up a lot more when I tinkered with something vs. when I left good stuff alone. 

Carrying like that is a good way to give yourself a vasectomy.

So.

Skip the glass for now, wait till the kids get good with iron sights.

Have you checked out the M&P line? Interchangeable backstraps in 3 sizes so you can choose your fit. Everyone's hand are different, and I know there are some who say the Ruger SRs fit them perfectly. I'm not one of them. I don't like the feel of the ridge on the tips of my fingers on the shooting hand, and in general the guns feels awkward and clunky to me. One of my buddies has an SR45 and I put 5 mags through it awhile back. He loves it and doesn't like my M&Ps. Different strokes for different folks. I felt the like the M&P sits lower and more comfortably in my hand and recoils more straight back. The Ruger felt very top heavy and with a strong rotational twist in the recoil impulse.   The Ruger is cheaper in whatever caliber you choose, so there's that. If contemplating 9mm, I'd definitely recommend taking a look at the Sig P2022. They're usually right netween the M&P and SR series for cost. Another friend of mine just got one in .40 and I think it's probably one of the nicest guns under $500 (besides my beloved M&Ps, haha!) I'll probably have one sooner than later. That's not at all the info you asked for. Sorry. :-( I can't help myself.     Hey, I appreciate the input.  I actually handled a Sig SP2022 at a lgs yesterday, and was impressed.  The price was good, but it had the contrast sights vs. the night sights, and only came with one magazine.  If it had had night sights and one magazine, or the contrast sights with 2 magazines, I probably would have bought it.  It also came in a cardboard box.  I know, what difference does it make, right?  I'm just used to Sigs coming in the nice plastic cases.  Still a gun that is definitely on my radar...

^^^This. They don't need to scan anything. They already keep permanent digital records of every firearm serial number, make, and model manufactured and transferred along with the dealer that transferred it, and date transferred. Anyone that believes that they don't also keep the NAME and (DL or SSN) of the recipients along with all of that data is a fool. Just like those who refused to believe in the government illegally monitoring / wiretapping mass phone calls until Snowden exposed some of the proof. Those who would give up essential liberties for safety will get neither, but this won't stop our liberal government from taking away the liberties.

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.
