My daughter asked me yesterday if we could go shooting, this only took 21yrs to happen :).   Her only experience with a gun prior to today only involved a squirt/nerf/bb gun. :rolleyes:   So I pulled out 3 pistols, ammo and range bag and went out into the backyard, started off with a bodyguard 380, shot several mags with/out the laser, then broke out the 9mm's, first was a Beretta 92F, then a PX4 storm compact, shot a couple 100rds, her favorite was the 92F, as we were finishing I told her to sit still because I needed to go back to the house to get something, as I return she was puzzled by me holding a rifle and a mag, I was in hurry up training mode as it was getting dark, I told her to shoot 10rds one at a time (not in the video), then had her rotated the selector, the giggling made me remember my first time shooting FA.....best hour I've spent in a longtime...   https://youtu.be/ZWPSUnW9d2U  

My wife was just yelling at me to get out of the bathroom. She said, "I need to get my makeup on so we can go...did you hear me? You better not just be sitting in there talking to your little toilet friends!!!" Guess I should scroll the forum from the living room more often. Heh heh...

Possibly the best response ever! I was cutting up with a customer this morning. He had a gorgeous Australian Shepard puppy in the truck. I says, "Whaddya take for that dog there." He says....A life. That's a fella what loves his dog. Lol!

Guilty as well.  As a matter of fact had to make an emergency visit to Home Depot today in Maryville after eating lunch (absence of gall bladder syndrome).  I was going to check on the toilet friends, and guess what Home Depot WIFI prohibited TGO!  I almost left, but I was committed by this point. 

Just a few weeks ago I was talking to a friend who was complain about his wage cuts due to low gas prices. He works in the oil fields. Funny, he didn't complain one bit when I could barely afford to drive to work on almost $4 a gallon gas but he was making 6 figures and had an $80k diesel dually with tons of aftermarket work. When I said something he told me to find an oilfield job and quit complaining. He got the same advice, find a different job and quit complaining. Cheap gas means more money for food, entertainment, guns, hobbies, etc which is good for the economy Sent from behind the anvil

My dad and I went up to Watauga Lake today for a bit, till the wind blew us off the lake. Ended up catching 4. Broke off a few as well. Had a blast! Any time fishing with the ol man is time well spent...

Funny, but TMI

Being "engaged in the business" is defined by 18 USC 921.   I fail to see how an EO can add to federal code without an amendment of the statute itself by the Congress.   - OS

It is possible to farm raise deer legally.  The meat is super expensive.  I'm guessing from farming stand point beef is more profitable.  I get what you are saying about criminals not following the laws anyway and I usually agree with that position.  I suppose that there are quite a few folks out there that would sell deer if it were legal but refrain from doing so since it is not.  So, this law probably does do something to protect the population.  Of course, without a doubt, we'd be stupid to believe that no one is selling deer meat because there is a law against it, I'm sure that it happens all the time.

Just thought I would ask how many Bass anglers may be on TGO? Reason I am asking is I have a hobby that includes making an assortment of Hand poured soft plastic baits and I sell them to anglers to help cover the cost of materials so I can make more. I use to do a lot more of it than I do now but just wanted to let folks know that if they are interested in using some great soft plastic Bass Catching Magnets I make some. I also make  Bass Jigs and Floatin Flies. If anyone maybe interested you can PM me for more information.        bersayguy

All the old double standard. "I'm privileged, and you're not." I need protection, after all, I'm smarter and worthier than you. I know what's best for you, and you don't.

Daisy ready for Christmas dinner

With the money saved from low gas prices you can use the saving to pay the increase in your health care increase.

Dunno. Brand new, unknown, untested. Why not save a few bucks, step up to a cheaper, more powerful caliber, and probably a slimmer gun and get a Shield 9 without a safety, if desired? For under $400, I simply cannot find a better designed or finished EDC. I think the G43 and XDs are fine guns, too, but you have to spend $100-200 more for those. Of course, those are striker fired guns, not hammer guns like the Bersa or RIA.

  I'm with you.  I'm also of the belief that if you need something bigger than a 9mm or .40SW to do the job, you shouldn't own one either.  :D

Man, there really is no such thing as privacy anymore.

Ha!! I laughed so hard at this...while I was poopin.

Way more info than I really need!! Runco I feel for ya bro' I too had my gall bladder out.

      That's exactly what I was thinking.  If one is "in the business" of selling firearms then they are required to have an FFL, so this doesn't accomplish anything except to confuse the situation and placate anti-gunners.  What a bunch of BS.

I expect last, but certainly not least (looking at my gifts) is me. I was out of the country from the 15th and just got my mail. What a surprise and absolutely incredible gift! I want to thank my Secret Santa for the extremely generous gifts. It is a real testament to this community (I use that word very purposefully) when looking back through this thread. Needless to say, I am already looking forward to next year. While I understand not everyone can give more, I will be paying it forward even more next year. I have to say, I get more out of giving than receiving these days. Thanks again to my SS. This is really one of the best gifts I have been given.

Honestly this is my favorite league. Both seasons, everyone who took part in your league knew what they were doing and kept it highly competitive till the very end. Yours is also the only one that has a ppr format. Standard leagues just aren't as fun anymore. 

  Late to the party on this but:   phase 1: end reciprocity phase 2: .... phase 3: profit!

Actually looks a bit like me in the mornings! I just can't seem to get up lately. Wife gets up and I pull quilt up over my head so I don't hear her getting ready.

I'm all for any anti gun politician having to hoof it with no security detail. After all, can't THEY just dial 911?  

This is a good video, with one caveat - as he says, this video doesn't cover all the variations in handguard attachments, trigger guards, etc.  For those, the Brownell's video series on AR building is probably better, although considerably longer. Here's a link to all 52 videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k0aL0wtMPA&list=PLa6yB5pDvYiiR1KVxS1yrjYr9u9SL31RL

It's actually still pretty high if you calculate all the money and lives we've spent on babysitting the east.... that's our oil. On top of what we have here.

  that was definitely Glock's fault.  Need to change your story.

I thought you'd never ask! BACON GREASE is the ticket, preferably from thick-sliced peppered bacon.

Tech-Challenged! I've all but covered the Webley revolver manfucturing evolution from the 1868 Pre RIC's(Royal Irish Constabulary) to the Bulldogs, Pryse, Webley Government models and the War Department approved Mks: I-VI. Also have the semi-autos: 32acp. 38acp, 9mm Browing Long and the No1Mk 1 in 455cf, if I could figure out how to post pics would gladly do so and in more than one post!!

    I doubt they would go up appreciably. If you do the math, the lifetime license only makes since if you are under age 40 and expect to live past age 80.   $500.00 (lifetime rate) / 12.50 (the current per-year fee rate) = the equivalent of 40 years worth of prepaid licensing fees.   For those of us over 50, it's not really economic sense. The per year rate would have to increase to $17 or more for older folks to break even. However, for young whippersnappers and millennials, the lifetime is not necessarily a bad deal though-- except that, just like the 5-year renewals, it could be suspended or revoked for any number of reasons, and if that ever happened,  I seriously doubt that you'd get any kind of pro-rata refund. Because of this potential revocation factor, I prefer to pay as I go, thank you very much.

I have uploaded a YouTube video as evidence that everything was on the up-and-up. There were some technical difficulties which prevented me from recording any audio. Two winners were chosen for the 6-month TGO Benefactor subscription, one winner for the 1-year TGO Benefactor subscription, and two winners for the TGO Lifetime Benefactor subscription. All qualifying members who participated in the giveaway were entered for a chance to win one of the two 6-month TGO Benefactor subscriptions. Qualifying members with a post count of 1000 or more were entered for a chance to win the 1-year TGO Benefactor subscription. Qualifying members with a post count of 2000 or more were entered for a chance to win one of the two TGO Lifetime Benefactor subscriptions. Winners were chosen using Random.org. After the names were entered, I clicked "randomize" the first time to mix up the names. The second and third clicks were to choose the winners. Winners 6-month TGO Benefactor subscription - musicman  - i1afli 1-year TGO Benefactor subscription   - macville   TGO Lifetime Benefactor subscription   - R1100R - Ugly   I would like to thank Fourtyfive and the anonymous member who offered additional TGO Benefactor subscriptions, making this giveaway even more fun. I greatly appreciate your generosity, and I know the rest of TGO does as well. For those who didn't win, there's always next year. In the meantime, please consider purchasing your very own TGO Benefactor subscription over that the TGO Store. It's $20 for a 6-months, $35 for 1-year, and I believe (I can't see it for some reason) it's $150 for a Lifetime Benefactor subscription. For many of us, TGO is an invaluable wealth of information and entertainment. I don't have any inside information, but I imagine it's quite costly, keeping TGO up and running as smoothly as they do. I'd like to wish all members of TGO and their families a very Merry Christmas, and a very Happy New Year! [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8tsq6tf__4[/media]

  If were to end up being reasonable (random example, 120 guns per year, probably even half that or a fourth of that), then other than an issue of freedom it wouldn't much affect me. If it is something insane like you cannot sell 2 or more guns a year than that is not something I could even potentially think positively of. But to me the issue isn't whether or not it is reasonable but rather that it only affects law abiding citizens instead of criminals. The San Bernardino shooters show what bad guys do when they cannot or feel they cannot pass a background check.

ATF is going to cause themselves more headaches...  Can't wait for somebody who is considered 'in the business' of selling firearms because of the EO, being turned down for an FFL because they don't meet the ATF 'business' requirements.   All sorts of fun court cases coming down the time from this stupidity.

I hate that SOB. That is all.

Her fun laugh must have really moved you as her dad.  Just think, only four or five more years before you cease being hopelessly dense and un-cool.

I bought an RCBS mold several years ago.  Castings are air cooled wheel weights, sized .360", LAR's Carnuba Red lube.  Best groups arrived with 3031 powder, cast bullet groups rival jacketed bullet groups.  My tired old eyes benefit from a steel tube Weaver 4X scope with the heavy post,  just the ticket for a classic rifle firing a classic cartridge.  Haven't heard many reports about the Lee mold and but it looks good, as long as you can get it up to .360" as-cast to fill up your bore.  Marlin lever rifles are known to require a fatter bullet to generate tight groups.  Congrats on your finding a dandy for woods loafing, you should love it.   Stumpy

  These are magnificent animals and companions. Smart like you wouldn't believe. Friendly and affectionate in the extreme. Also can be very stubborn.   We have an Aussie/Border Collie mix. All of the above and then some. Spoiled rotten. Wouldn't have her any other way. 

There's some good advice above. I'd add Graf and Sons to the list. They have a flat rate shipping charge whether you order one box or a tractor trailer load. $7.95 I believe it is.

I'm guessing this has more to do with wildlife protection and curtailing poaching.

I'm still traumatized so my hands were shaking bad. Ok that's a lie, it's really that this 6s iPhone of mine sucks. It auto corrects everything!!

KY jelly is my personal favorite.   I once listened all day to a guy who was a bolt expert talk about bolts. The one and only thing I brought away from that fascinating sermon was "The larger your shaft, the better grade lubricant you need".   That's my extent of grease knowledge. :D Hope it helps.

Me and my dad have talked on and off about a setup to shoot steel that we needed to build for the last year. Well, tonight when we opened presents I got a note inside a box saying "be careful what you wish for". Then we walk out to his shop and I find this! Seriously, I think this is the best present I've ever gotten. I would have never imagined he would build this.

My new Christmas Gift from Mrs.Wicked1911: And my brother bought me a Promag Rollermag:

Well today was the day I got the biggest deer of my life he was a 10 at some point this year but broke off two tines so he is a 8 point used the 25-45 Sharps that I put together the year

What are you talking about? They get no more "real" than Saiga! To me, anyway. My next AK will come from DDI

9mm is for women 40 is for men 10mm is for men that need to prove they are men.   Yes I have my flame proof gear on, bring it. :rofl:

All other calibers just take your life, but the 10mm.... it takes your soul.
