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.

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.

Congratulations, I am on my second Sig 239 now. I should have just kept the first one.

Regardless of what caliber it was, you can greatly overcharge pretty much any case if you're using a really fast powder. (like titegroup, for instance) I'm not arguing whether this was a doublecharge, etc, just clarifying a point about powder and case volume. Yes, some recipes will use a powder that nearly or completely fills a case. Some even will compress the powder charge. (H110 in 357 or 44 mag both do that under max loads with most bullet options) However, that same case and bullet, when loaded with a fast powder will leave TONS of empty case volume. You can fit 4 charges' worth of TG in a 44 mag and throw a bullet on top if you were so inclined. All of that to simply clarify that statements like "doesn't X caliber fill the case?" Aren't as simple as they seem.

Well my question is why or what is your issue with the safety on the Bersa? Is it that it needs to be swept up to fire, whereas on most other guns with a safety you sweep the safety down?   I've carried a 380 Thunder and still keep a .22 Thunder for target as well as a Beretta full size for home protection and don't feel this would be an issue. Simply for the main reason as I don't use the safety as a safety; decocker yes but as a safety no.....   There is no need to use a safety if so equipped on a double action handgun...   I also keep several 1911 and close variants so the thumb safety sweep down comes 2nd nature as this is simply the nature of the beast and memory takes over when I pick one and carry any of these guns...   But I'll be honest with you my favored carry is a CZ RAMI decocker as it has simplified controls as it has no safety only a decocker lever....

  If I'm still alive, I'll check back with you in 20 or 30 years and see what your opinion is then. :)

I had a chihuahua take off while I was on vacation. She didn't like the dog sitter but I flew home and looked for her. She came to the door at 4 am after bein gone for a day. Don't give up put food and water by the door and check local animal shelter and lost and found pet page on Facebook. Hopefully she'll be back soon!!

The taco place owner is one sharp cookie. This is funny.     When life gives you surveillance footage of your business being ransacked, turn it into lemonade -- or tasty frijoles. A Las Vegas taco place that was burglarized a week ago transformed the robbery footage into a hilarious commercial that has many Internet users craving corn tortillas and fresh ingredients. The security footage shows three men breaking into a closed Frijoles & Frescas Grilled Tacos establishment on December 16 and sacking the restaurant.         https://youtu.be/kzdv4FUHqP8

If it slides grease it, if it rotates oil is the old saying.   If don't mess with grease on an AR much because they get filthy and the grease just makes it messier.  Rifles like M1 Garands, Carbines and M1A's pretty much need grease.  On 1911's and other semi-auto pistols I like to grease the rails where the slide rests.  It's amazing the malfunctions this will prevent.   I bought a tube of this http://www.midwayusa.com/product/133862/tetra-gun-grease-1-oz-tube about six years ago.  It's now about empty but the point is a little goes a long way.

As my platoon sergeant once said when I got engaged, "You never truly know a woman until you meet her in court."

Forever shall I reside in the halls of the EU...and as the EU fades into obscurity, such will be my fate as well.  

Guess I'm the opposite. I think I'd grab a nice sig before a Glock if cost were no object. But I can see an obvious advantage in weight.

Hot diggity! Thanks TDR, FourtyFive, and anonymous! I really appreciate the awesome gift! I've already had my Christmas miracle this year, as my Dad was dead off and on for about an hour on the 12th of this month. Every doctor and surgeon that has worked on him cannot believe he's still alive. Our plans definitely changed that day, but it's all fine. All the family is together here in Miami with Mom and Dad and we are soaking up God's blessings and savoring every minute. I hope you all get to do the same this Christmas. Thanks, TGO. :-)

With liberals it's always about "feelings". Logic, Law, precedence, and common sense doesn't enter into their thought processes and they always want "Daddy Government" to change your behavior.   That said, it's all the more reason to have silencers/suppressors removed from the NFA. A suppressor and a privacy fence should make for good neighbors... :2cents:

Magnet is painful as primary tool and you never get all the SS pins.  Remaining pins will be found at your deprime station and that will gum up the works.  You may want to experience all of this by trial and error, but I've done a lot of that for you already.
