A large jet plane has crashed on a farm in the middle of rural Kentucky, feared to be Air Force One. Panic stricken, the local sheriffs department has mobilized and descended on the farm in force. By the time they got there, the aircraft was totally destroyed with only a burned hull left, smoldering in a tree line that bordered the farm.   The sheriff and his men entered the smoking mess but could find no remains of anyone. They spotted the farmer plowing a field not too far away as if nothing had happened. They hurried over to the man’s tractor. “Hank,” the sheriff yelled, panting and out of breath.   “Did you see this terrible accident happen?” “Yep. Sure did,” the farmer mumbled unconcerned, cutting off the tractor’s engine. Do you realize that is Air Force One, the airplane of the President of the United States?” “Yep.” “Were there any survivors?” “Nope. They’s all kilt straight out, “the farmer answered. “I done buried them all myself. Took me most of the morning.” “President Obama is dead?” the sheriff asked. “Well,” the farmer grumbled, restarting his tractor, “He kept a-saying he wasn’t, but you know how bad that sumbitch lies.”

AS I GROW OLDER               SINCE IT WAS SUCH A CRAPPY DAY I SAT IN MY RECLINER AND STARTED THINKING ABOUT LIFE AND CAME TO REALIZE THAT  AS I HAVE GROWN OLDER I'VE LEARNED THAT PLEASING EVERYONE IS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT PISSING EVERYONE OFF IS A PIECE OF CAKE.   CONDOMS DON'T GUARANTEE SAFE SEX ANYMORE, A FRIEND OF MINE WAS WEARING ONE WHEN HE WAS SHOT BY THE WOMAN'S HUSBAND.     LANCE ARMSTRONG….I THINK IT IS JUST TERRIBLE AND DISGUSTING HOW EVERYONE HAS TREATED LANCE ARMSTRONG, ESPECIALLY AFTER WHAT HE ACHIEVED, WINNING 7 TOUR DE FRANCE RACES, WHILE ON DRUGS. HELL, WHEN I WAS ON DRUGS, I COULDN'T EVEN FIND MY BIKE.    DRIVE BY….SOME ONE BROKE INTO MY HOUSE LAST WEEK. THEY DIDN'T TAKE MY TV, JUST THE REMOTE.  NOW THEY DRIVE BY AND CHANGE THE CHANNELS ON IT. THE SICK BASTARDS!!!     THE AGONY OF AGING….ON THE MORNING THAT DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ENDED I STOPPED IN TO VISIT MY AGING FRIEND. HE WAS BUSY COVERING HIS PENIS WITH BLACK SHOE POLISH. I SAID TO HIM, "YOU BETTER GET YOUR HEARING CHECKED - YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TURN YOUR CLOCK BACK".     VIDEO SCAM….JUST GOT SCAMMED OUT OF $25. I BOUGHT A TIGER WOODS DVD ENTITLED "MY FAVORITE 18 HOLES". TURNS OUT IT'S ALL ABOUT GOLF. ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY! PASS THIS ON SO OTHERS DON'T GET SCAMMED.     PREGNANT PROSTITUTE…DOCTOR ASKS A PREGNANT PROSTITUTE, "DO YOU KNOW WHO THE FATHER IS?" HEY DUMB ASS, SHE REPLIED, IF YOU ATE A CAN OF BEANS WOULD YOU KNOW WHICH ONE MADE YOU FART  ????.

"To me this is a commonsense step..."

When one whittles a peice of wood, they don't cut all the material off in one chunk, nor do they cut even large peices; but instead small thin slices. Liberty can't be cut out at once but small parts, over time, peice by peice until we are left with.....nothing. Doesn't seem like squat to us in TN.

Yep, because all bad guys have carry permits and won't go there if we make their permit invalid.     :shake:     Morons.

After getting some advice from TGO members about pistols with full left hand controls, my Wife and I made a visit to a couple of lgs and looked at the FNS9C, M&P9C, and the P320 Compact. The winner was the Sig P320 with the M&P a close second. My Wife is hoping to save so we can pick it up sometime in January or February. What she doesn't know is that I have already planned on this. Business is good and we are Blessed to be in a very good time of our lives. There will be one more gift under the tree for Christmas morning. I'm safe posting this here for now because she hasn't started visiting TGO. I would expect that to change sometime soon. Thank you all for your advice and input. I hope that everyone has a Very Merry Christmas full of Blessings. Bob

I thought I would share this with everyone on TGO. :hat:

No, unfortunately liberals can live anywhere they want.

Great.  More Californians are moving here.

  Not me. Will leave my Glocks at home and carry my stainless 1911, cocked and locked. 

I'm covered, got one of these magic signs on my door. Should work shouldn't it? [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JMH42/media/Tornado%20Prohibited._zps7yhkhetk.jpg.html][/URL]

Allahu Oblamala!!

it wasn't hard to figure out who my secret santa was. the "man crate" of bbq items will certainly raise my game with the wife's family coming in this weekend. the pouch, pmags and vfg are awesome, but no one has been willing to let me try the iv out yet. will have to wait for the wife's family. the note is what gave away the identity though. this is a guy you want to party with. thanks santa!

  When it comes to being a total dick, I got some of my own reciprocity

So they are limiting conceal carry reciprocity while they are still an open carry without a permit state? That's just silly.   I guess the next time work takes me up there I'll just air out my Glock rather than conceal something.

Wonder how LE is supposed to enforce between Bristol, VA and Bristol, TN. Petition for a wall down the middle of State Street with metal detectors at the pass through portals? Nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind

YES. Commercial supressors are on either form 3(dealer transfer) or form 4.

Move

Well just saying...would much rather have a conservative person who appreciates liberty and freedom than some of the other left leaning liberals who seem to be flocking to Nashville.

Just Han Solo that bad boy!

Merged threads... :) 

No, but they do appear to be making them.

  Kind of hard to open carry in the winter, unless you want to strap a heater across your chest or something.   - OS

I'm hoping to be back in the "lifted, pavement pounding, cost more than my first house" truck club soon.  You won't find me posting how much it cost or how many luxury items it has, though.  Ya'll are a hard bunch.

When I was a kid there were only 4 channels on the black and white TV that had to be changed manually and garage doors were manual as well. :tough:

You can be deemed okay to carry if you give them $100. I guess that's better than the $300 Illinois wants. Money can fix anything.

Finally was able to get my order cancelled and a refund put in motion. I will not make this mistake with this pos company again. Just a heads up, they are now going under the name AWC

It's softer shooting than a .454 Casull., so people can handle it easier.  Of course at the expense of manhood.    :bowrofl:

Removing the disconnect is very simple. One pin pressed into the trigger. Pop it out and the disconnect is gone. For most of us, this makes the trigger much better and not worth going further. A full on trigger job is going to be expensive. Most smiths change the sear lever location, which means they drill a new hole and relocate the sear. Then they have to hand fit the sear, disconnect etc. It also necessitates a refinish. It is not possible to drop in sears and disconnects without a knowledgeable smiths watchful eye. Short of a full blown trigger job, I've found removing the mag disconnect and adding a Cylinder and Slide combat trigger (wider and better curve) feels as good as most of the smith trigger jobs I've felt. Both those enhancements you can do yourself. Sam Hoster is who I'd go with if you went the smith route.

I'm glad it worked well for you my friend.   While I will modify, I like to think "enhance" the externals of my Glocks, I am always hesitant to run anything other than OEM internals.   I think your experiences just reinforced that for me. :pleased:

Exactly right! Couldn't have said it better myself .

Maybe www.AmericaStrong.com is written by Europeans undercover.

Since we're ranting....   Why can't you get a truck with manual transmission anymore?  The only way to get one is to get an $80,000 diesel.   Quite a few are offered globally with a stick, but not in North America.  :rant:

Armed people named rob is not a crime.

That is a YHM Phantom M2. It's a .30 cal, not really intended for .22 but it works great. I am going to buy a dedicated .22 suppressor that can be taken apart and cleaned as .22 is so dirty. Sealed cans can fill up with lead and become less effective over time. So I don't shoot too much .22 through it. The process isn't hard, just have to be patient. I went through Mike @ Lawenforcementsales. He's a vendor here his shop is in Oak Ridge. He's on the hey between Kingston and Oak Ridge, very close to you. Send him a message and he'll be happy to talk to you about the process. Great guy

Received my Ghost Edge connector this afternoon. Installed it in about 15 minutes. Trigger pin was hard to get out, Tried it left to right with no luck then switched right to left wiggling slide stop and finally pushed out. Installed trigger pin back right to left after aligning slide stop hole and others, pin pushed in easily and locked into place.   Trigger pull very smooth and weight of pull much reduced. Will take for a shooting session tomorrow if not raining, my range is outside.

They need to keep their booger hooks off the bang switch unless they are on target and ready to shoot.

Jeff at Guns and Leather is a good guy and a very qualified smith. I'd start my search there.

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

Merry Christmas to all my TGO Family! Im a lifer don't need the subscription. Thanks TDR and FourtyFive for doing this.

Not entering, but great gesture TDR!  :up:

  as I recall when we had some done they cut it more than double thick (twice the board thickness, maybe three times) and we stored it like that to let it dry on out.   I don't know if that is standard practice or just the way we did it, but the guy that cut it into boards recommended it.   Basically we put down 2x4s,  put a thick board down, crossed it with more 2x4s, put another down, so it had air space around each board.  It was probably dry after one winter as we stored it near our wood stove.   I don't think it would dry this decade if you didn't at least cut it in half long ways

It's several things together. All the options that make a truck appealing to the masses that don't need one just like the look are both expensive and heavy. All the modern safety features that are mandated by the government are both expensive and heavy. The government mandated efficiency levels, both emissions and fuel economy, are expensive to implement and meet. Not to mention the R&D to develop said systems. The options and safety features mentioned previously that add weight makes the vehicle less fuel efficient, they then have to do R&D to use either aerodynamics or the power train to reduce fuel consumption. Materials are also getting more and more expensive every day. The quality and quantity levels required from the manufacturer require state of the art facilities to produce the vehicles. You also have the fact that most if not all inside the US are Union on top of that making more money than they should be( yes I can say this because I have worked on the assembly line for a car manufacturer) It's a lot of things together, but mostly just blame the government, they are the root of all problems not money, lol

My father has an affinity for them. I've shot several, an can say they are accurate to a fault.   They're just not my bag. For that kind of money, I want pretty. A #1 Ruger isn't much more expensive.   Not as refined, but much less expensive is H&R/NEF, or a CVA single shot.

Hurry up. You will love it.

I have 2 frames and several barrels ranging from .223 - .45/70.  I gave up hunting deer with rifles about 15 years ago. Since I'm not as mad at deer as I used to be I thought I would give them  a little more of an advantage.  My first deer with a T/C was at 125 yards chambered in 6MM TCU and a 4X20 Leupold on top.  I've also used .35 Remington but I'm not a fan of recoil like I was in my younger years.  My go to caliber now is 7-30 Waters Super 14 with a muzzle break, mild recoil and it shoots very tight groups off a bench.  When I say tight groups I can maintain 1/2" groups and my best ever was a .155" 3 shot group at 100 yards.
