PLEASE DO NOT PUT HER ON CRAIGSLIST. Please. Let me contact some people and see if I can find a rescue for her. What city do you live in?

No, no it's perfectly legal to buy beaver; just don't try to rent it.

She's going to be ok. I already have things lined up! The network moves fast when you know the right people. I will update everyone with status and pictures as we go. I've already got a crate donated for transporting her to my house. We've got a room I am going to get ready for her and her spay is the next step.

  I am pretty sure it is illegal to sell beaver.  I hear about vice arresting women all the time for selling beaver... and men for trying to buy beaver...

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  

I've already contacted 2 rescues, I have a lot of friends in the dog training/rescue world. Please, please do not post her on Craigslist. I'll come get her if I have to. I am confident I can find her a home if I have a few days to do it. A safe, loving home.

  Sweet Jesus if someone did me that I'd be hard pressed not to return in kind....

    don't worry the bag of dog shit is already in the mail  :devil:

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...

Yes....yes there is.

I rediscovered Archie Bunker on Youtube.  Could you imagine this show in primetime today!  The things he says are priceless for todays times.

  This is the only objective he's after with any EO on guns.  He knows that he can't get more without Congress making changes to existing laws in the USC or CFR, but he needs to get the anti-gun groups happy enough to write checks for Democratic candidates (or run ads against Republican candidates) in the 2016 election cycle.    I doubt anything with real enforceable consequences that impede gun ownership or sale will come from this.

I hate that SOB. That is all.

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...

I feel that may be some personal bias showing through there, as honestly I have the same, but reversed. I have stated before I think the SR series guns aren't as well finished internally, showing rough machining, etc, and I feel the M&P grip is much more natural, while the gun is more aesthetically pleasing inside and out. I also hate that little bump/vertical ridge on the fingertips when holding an SR. I find the trigger on the 4-5 examples of the SRs I've shot to be nothing to write home about. I will definitely admit they are more consistent than M&P triggers which used to be all over the place. It seems Smith has both improved the design while tightened QC in the last couple years. However, I have always picked out specific M&Ps with good triggers from the get-go, while passing on some with too much grit or a heavier or inconsistent break. The SR wins on tactile reset, stock vs stock triggers. It's funny how our bias changes our sales and our perception. I like the M&Ps, among others, and know many more shooters that have and love them vs SR series guns. Off hand I can think of 3 SR series owners in my regular circle of friends who have kept theirs (meaning they liked them enough not to dump them quickly) while I can name 8 at church alone that still have and love their M&Ps. I spend a lot of time at gun stores, and have spent time behind a counter as well. I definitely have not seen the "always buy an SR after holding an M&P" that you do. In fact, the reverse. Of course, I have to point out that that may be my bias coloring my perception. I am at least admitting that. We all make our decisions based on our personal bias. Tens of thousands of each make's models being sold prove that their designs are speaking to someone. For the sake of the folks cranking out the guns on the production floor, I hope this ugly bastage of a pistol speaks to plenty of folks. It is speaking to me... yelling, actually. Yelling "Run away!" Haha! Maybe it's speaking in tongues and will be interpreted differently by others.

Speaking of which, does anyone know when stupid, dirty, inbred redneck season starts?  I hear that we can use Mountain Dew and EBT cards to bait them this year.

I used to coon hunt and I always enjoyed working the dogs.  That being said the world would be a better place if half of the coon hunters that I ever met fell off in a sink hole somewhere and disappeared forever.  That's typical coon hunter mentality to dump their dog out somewhere and shoot it if it comes back. 

  I really don't like you right now. lol

My dog will think he has a secret admirer :)

Oh damn, that one, Yes you can see elk there. Plan to go early or late. The cooler it is the better, and if its overcast that can help too. So that will take about 2 hours from downtown Gatlinburg to the Tower at Royal Blue. I would definitely look at driving into the Cataloochee Valley in the GSMNP. Its essentially like Cades Coves with Elk and less people. You drive out to I-40 head East to exit 20, go right, .2 miles turn right on Cove Creek Road and then follow that for 11 miles and it will dump you into a valley with mowed pasture fields and high chances of seeing Elk. I would go there 10:1 vs going to the tower at Royal Blue. One main reason is Royal Blue is a WMA and it will be hunitng season PUBLIC hunting. The other is I feel pretty strong that you have a higher chance of seeing Elk in Cataloochee. And if you don't you've seen some of the prettiest scenery in the GSMNP

Used the Kindle gift card and these came in today. Thank you santa! Sent from behind the anvil

Oh Man that looks like a love-child  made from a Steyr and a Walther that just had some nasty sweaty sex.  I like Ruger and there aren't many guns I think are ugly , but this is one UGLY gun. That grip looks very uncomfortable too.

One year today, which if someone wouldve told me Id be married when I first enlisted I wouldve punched them in the face. One buried Ford and meeting my old EOD PL to sell an AR got my wife some flowers and a Sig P239. She got me a FA wet tumbler to stop breaking the washer and dryer lol Seems like a win!

I enjoy Longmire, but I am afraid that the 4th season was the last season.

As an internet savvy guy who's seen too much... I notice you also got her a sharpie.... :ugh:

Oh come on guys...everyone does it! I really think this is what splits everyone above or below 50. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

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

In this case I'm glad the government has stepped in.  If deer meat could legally be sold I think that they would be hunted and poached into extinction. 

nightrunner, I got my mount today!!! Thanks again!!!!

First and foremost, Merry Christmas! After months of passively searching, I purchased a factory FDE SilencerCo Osprey 45 suppressor for my FN FNX 45 Tactical in FDE. I purchased the suppressor via GunBroker from BMC Tactical/Warrior Steel. After remitting my payment 45 days ago, my suppressor arrived at my preferred LGS, the Nashville Armory. The wait time officially begins as my paperwork has been submitted!

No 1911? That's the only REAL handgun, right? Just thought I'd help this thread along in the direction it's going.

Maybe nowadays, but not when my dad was a coonhunter. He bred Black and Tans for over 50 years, hunted from Iowa to Louisiana to Maine. High placers and winners in the world, little world, autumn oaks, St. Jude's and the 1972 TN champ. Nothing like a sooner or 'tick bawl, for sure. The cooners I met as a kid traveling with him back in the day were sometimes a little rough around the edges, but not asspimples like the one that this dog is thankfully shed of. Good on Mrs.Monkey! That's a kind lady, right there.

Really, really nice pistol! Throw away all other plastic crap that came with it. Rule #1 1911's do not go into plastic

I second Mrs Monkey a good friend's wife put up some puppies on craigslist and when they were rehomed the guy who got them texted her pictures of them dismembered. Id take her if you were more west. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

I look forward to hearing about your new HiPoint collection. So glad you have it all figured out! :-)

Very cool! I have always had a certain affection for oddball firearms and the Rhino is no exception. Well made video showing the features of the Rhino. I have yet to see one in person, if I do the wife may not be happy as I may buy it. :)

  Well if you look at the industries that are most heavily regulated, i.e. have artificially inflated costs for absolutely no good reason, it would be logical to come that conclusion. But you'd be incorrect. You're looking at a single commodity rather than the overall financial well-being of the average American.   Don Boudreaux did a great piece on this at cafehayek.com. He compared some common goods in the Sears catalog from 1975 with the same items today, or their comparable modern equivalents. You can read the full article here. Here are a few examples of what he found:   – Manual treadmill: 1975 price was $89.99 (or 18.5 hours of work in 1975); 2013 price is $127.99 (or 6.5 hours of work today) – adult athletic shoes: 1975 price was $9.95 (or 2.0 hours); 2013 price is $19.99 (or 1.0 hour) – adult jeans:* 1975 price was $6.99 (or 1.4 hours); 2013 price is $19.99 (or 1.0 hour) – television (19″ color): 1975 price was $294.95 (or 60.6 hours); 2013 price is $129.99 (or 6.6 hours) – 30″ kitchen all-electric range/oven: 1975 price was $159.95 (or 32.8 hours); 2013 price is $369.99 (or 18.6 hours) – frost-free refrigerator/freezer:** 1975 price was $319.95 [for 14.1 cubic feet] (or 65.7 hours); 2013 price is $404.99 [for 14.8 cubic feet] (or 20.4 hours) – “standard size” all-electric washer/dryer combo: 1975 price was $329.90 (or 67.7 hours); 2013 price is $593.98 (or 29.9 hours)   As you can see, you have to work a lot fewer hours to enjoy the same standard of living you did 40 years ago.   Yea, cars are probably more expensive, even adjusted for inflation, but the car you get is a hundred times better than the one you got back then. It has more power, weighs less, gets better mileage, lasts longer, handles better, has better tires, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum. Plus, as I alluded to earlier, government mandates make them more expensive needlessly. Basically a government mandate says, "You, the consumer, are just not smart enough to know what you need. We will tell you what you need, make you pay extra for it even if you don't want it, then say what an idiot you are when you disagree." That doesn't even begin to take into account the several thousand dollars a car costs before the idea for the new model is even dreamed up due to the outrageous cost of labor associated with most "American" cars.

  You left out the Styer influence.

Glocks are pretty ugly as well, but they work.   I don't see a reason to switch from my Glocks personally, but I've always good luck with my Rugers - hope they do well in the market place.

As I see it, he can tell the Feds to ignore a law as he has done many times (e.g Marijuana), but he can't redefine the law. I don't care what he says. I will continue buying and selling guns just as I already do. I will live by the laws, not his made up laws.

Would vote either a wasr or npap depending on if you want a folder or not.  As far as I know wasrs no longer come in with anything other than fixed stock.  The yugos don't have chrome lined barrels so that may be a negative to consider depending on your personal preference and maintenance habits or lack thereof.  An Arsenal *can*(they have put out some turds too) be a step up in gun and the only(readily available) factory '74 unless you can still find a Saiga or Vepr to convert.  A Vepr in .308 or 7.62x39 would be a solid choice as well and arguably the best quality factory option overall.  Just my 2 cents.

Maybe he's hoping for more gifts? :d

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.

In old school pews I've heard the distinct clunk of a pistol knocking against the wood when they've sat down near me.
