Saw this on FB today. I rather liked it. Hope you do as well. "Maid Wants a Raise" Madam: Give me three reasons why I need to increase your salary. Maid: I can cook better than you. Madam: Who told you that? Maid: Your Husband told me. Madam: Ok, 2nd reason? Maid: I can iron better than you. Madam: Who told you that? Maid: Your husband told me. Madam: Ok, 3rd reason? Maid: I am also better in bed than you. This time the Madam was furious and ready to break her hand. Madam: Did my husband tell you that? Maid: No, the driver told me. I'm better in bed than you. Madam: Please lower your voice, I will increase your salary.

Well that escalated quickly!

I just went and double checked the ammo bunker,  no shortages here  ;)

This one found a new home in Texas. It is made from 5/32" thick 1095 carbon steel heat treated professionally to a RC of 59-61. It had nice file work on the spine with thumb jimping and is double acid etched with Texas Mesquite scales and mosaic pin and SS lanyard hole. OAL is 12 3/4" with a blade length of 8".

I'd rather they fight to get a bill passed for proper classes and permits for first amendment rights too... I don't like a lot of what people have to say, and think some don't know much about their religions and all kinds of things that should be proven before they are allowed their rights.  It doesn't matter if its a right, we should limit it just to be on the safe side.

  I think sometimes we long for "the good old days" when the press was "responsible".   I'm just not sure that there was ever a time when that was true. News is a product like potato chips.

  I figgered it was mostly to keep people from shooting at black painters and sasquashes and whatnot. ;)   - OS

I am not sure exactly what was wrong here?   They cut the meat in the parking lot and most likely used the walk in box to store it for a bit.   Heck everyone knows cats are the issue with Chinese food, not deer.

I am sure a lot of you have heard about the search for the 2 year old that has been on since last Thursday in West Tn. 3 requirements announced for volunteer searchers. 1. Must be 18 years old. 2. Must have photo ID. 3. Must not be armed. My question is why would a legally armed volunteer be turned away? Would this affect whether or not you would volunteer to search? Keep little Noah and the family in your prayers. Not trying to be insensitive during a trying and emotional time for a family but it just doesn't make since to have this requirement.

Absolutely Brilliant !!!       COSTELLO:  I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America  .   ABBOTT: Good Subject.  Terrible Times.  It’s 5.6%.   COSTELLO:  That many people are out of work?   ABBOTT: No, that’s 23%.     COSTELLO: You just said 5.6%.   ABBOTT:  5.6% Unemployed.   COSTELLO:  Right 5.6% out of work.    ABBOTT: No, that’s 23%.   COSTELLO: Okay, so it’s  23% unemployed.   ABBOTT: No, that’s 5.6%.    COSTELLO:  WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 5.6% or 23%?    ABBOTT: 5.6% are unemployed.  23% are out of work.    COSTELLO: If you are out of work you are unemployed.    ABBOTT:  No, Obama said you can’t count the “Out of Work” as the unemployed.  You have to look for work to be unemployed.   COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!    ABBOTT: No, you miss his point.   COSTELLO:  What point?   ABBOTT:  Someone who doesn’t look for work can’t be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn’t be fair.    COSTELLO: To whom?   ABBOTT: The unemployed.     COSTELLO: But ALL of them are out of work.     ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.    COSTELLO: So if you’re off the unemployment roles that would count as less unemployment?   ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!   COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don’t look for work?   ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes  down. That’s how it gets to 5.6%. Otherwise it would be 23%.   COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?     ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.   COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?   ABBOTT: Correct.   COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?   ABBOTT: Bingo.     COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to have people stop looking for work.   ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like a Democrat.    COSTELLO:  I don’t even know what the hell I just said!     ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like Hilary  

I appreciate the bill, not because I think that we need to register journalists but because I think that people who oppose the 2nd amendment need to realize how idiotic they sound and the only way that is going to happen is if we threaten to take away something that they like.

"Republicans" are responsible for Trump just as "Democrats" are for Clinton and Sanders. Maybe they should stop lining their pockets, stop pissing and moaning, and do their jobs as servants of the American People. As to "stupid of the day", I think you missed quite a few other contenders.

No more than demonizing the 2nd Amendment and those that appreciate it.

Look back through this thread, several of us with them have already posted.

I get my feelings hurt every time someone calls me "gun nut" or "inbred redneck" I feel like I need a safe space where I can just be myself. I really think the government should give guns ammo and range time to people like me.

No, there's no shortage. I personally only buy in bulk. Many 7.62x39 shooters prefer Russian Golden Tiger ammo for overall accuracy and sealed primers for long term storage. Golden Tiger is usually only available at SGAMMO.com.   A thread from the AK Files suggests Walmart has started stocking TULA in 40 round boxes instead of 20.

Actually, it's bowel. Lol

So much fail, it's hard to know where to start. Imagine if a test were required before one could exercise their right as a citizen to vote or as a human being to peacefully assemble. Wait, that's been tried before (you get the point). It's doesn't matter what you "feel" about it or who you "trust". You don't get to decide for anyone else... it's called freedom and it can be scary at times. Living in a zoo is much safer but the lions don't look too happy in the cages. Maybe you would like it? No one else can protect you, you might even fail yourself but at least you can try. Anyone who promises to protect you is either a fool or thinks you are. The 1st Amendment protects your right to criticize the government, not to say stupid things in public and go unchallenged. Just because it's your opinion doesn't mean it's not ignorant. Luckily, ignorance is a choice. You get to decide whether you stay that way or not. Take a civics class and get back to me.

Because are evil. Let's be honest, anti-gun crap has nothing to do with any kind of logic, only emotion.

I have a friend that is a K-9 officer up in Robertson County and he had a Doberman for his K-9. About 5 or 6 years ago his partner gave his life protecting my friend from a pistol wheeling drug dealer and jumped in front of him to take the bullets. My friend did kill the bad guy but he lost Jake. He was heart broken because they had been partners for 8 years. I went to see him about a month later and he was getting ready to move off the K-9 division over his grief. At the time I happen to have a friend that was having to give up his Dobie because he was moving into an apartment from a house in a divorce. I asked him if I could have Sadie and he said yes. Sadie was about 10 months old and ready for training to begin.   When I went to visit my friend I had Sadie in my sons Van and we talked for a few minutes and I asked him to help me with something in the van and we walked out and I opened the back doors. She looked at him and he looked at her and then he turned to look at me. I said her name is Sadie and she needs a home. He looked back at her and I saw his eyes swell up and he called to her and she jumped into him arms.   He didn't quit the K-9 force but he didn't use Sadie either. He did train her but he trained her for guard duty at his home in the country to protect his wife and children while he was working. His property if completely cyclone fenced with gates and on the front gate a sign reads "K-9 officer on duty. Enter at your own risk". Anyone that wants to visit him or family calls first. I have seen her about 3 times since I gave her to him. She turned out to be one awesome Doby for sure............ :cheers:

  It was never intended to be taken seriously, it's called, "making a statement". It's pretty obvious what he was doing. 

I honestly think the run of the mill Republicans like Bush are more upset about the lead Trump and Cruz have than Demonrats are. I don't think "Republicans" like what has happened at all yet fail to do anything constructive to stop or counter it.

I interpret your statement to mean that you believe the man (concealed carrier) at the Oregon college  that had an active shooter should have ran to the building the shooter was in and engaged him. He was across the campus, not in the same building as the shooter. Now, If I were in the same building the shooter was as he was going room to room, then yes, I would defend the whole roomful of people I was with...... to the end, who ever the "winner" was. I would NOT run across the campus to play hero.

FBI official: 'Perfect storm' imperiling gun background checks Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY7:49 p.m. EST January 19, 2016 (Photo: Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY) 1822CONNECTTWEET 4LINKEDIN 123COMMENTEMAILMORE CLARKSBURG, W.Va. — The surge of criminal background checks required of new gun purchasers has been so unrelenting in recent months that the FBI had been forced to temporarily halt the processing of thousands of appeals from prospective buyers whose firearm purchase attempts have been denied. Since October, the bureau’s entire cadre of appeal examiners— about 70 analysts — was redeployed here to help keep pace with waves of incoming background investigations that continued through December when a record 3.3 million firearm sales were processed. The transfer of examiners, which had left a backlog of 7,100 appeals, is only part of a makeshift reorganization that FBI Assistant Director Stephen Morris said has become necessary to handle a burgeoning workload that expands in the wake of every mass shooting and call for increased gun control that invariably prompt firearms sales binges across the country. “The last several months, we've kind of found ourselves in a perfect storm,’’ Morris said in an interview with USA TODAY. In each of the last six months, the number of background checks has risen steadily, according to FBI records, ending with December's record with more than a half-million over the previous monthly high posted in the aftermath of the 2012 Newtown, Conn., school massacre. USA TODAY After San Bernardino attacks, concealed gun requests skyrocket in area Since before Thanksgiving weekend, all annual leave for the more than 400 employees of the bureau’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System has been canceled. That Black Friday, the system was swamped with 185,345 background check requests on new firearm sales, a new single-day record. Morris said temporary background check examiners also are being pulled from internal construction projects and bureau divisions that oversee the gathering of crime statistics across the nation. The near-constant frenzy of activity within the FBI’s sprawling complex, four hours away from the nation’s capital, may represent the most compelling argument in favor of at least part of President Obama’s recent executive actions aimed at reducing gun violence: the addition of 230 examiners to the NICS operation and 200 more agents for nation's chief gun enforcement agency, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms. USA TODAY Millions of firearms records languish at National Tracing Center The new positions are desperately needed, authorities said, to support the seriously stressed NICS system and to prepare for an even heavier workload as a consequence of the central provision of the administration's executive actions. That directive would require an increasing number of private firearms dealers to be licensed, subjecting their customers to scrutiny under the federal background check system. Some of the administration's most vocal opponents on gun policy, including those who offered initial skepticism or outright opposition when the executive actions were unveiled earlier this month, now appear open to potentially adding the hundreds of requested positions that would require congressional approval. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, acknowledged in a written statement to USA TODAY that more NICS examiners “might be necessary.’’ USA TODAY Obama announces gun actions in emotional plea for congressional action Even the National Rifle Association, which assailed the administration's overall gun plan as "political exploitation,'' said that they would "have no objection'' to proposals that would both bolster the ranks of the ATF and the NICS system. The group, however, remained critical of the plan's call for private gun sellers to obtain federal licenses so that buyers would go through background checks. Handguns are seen at a gun show hosted by Florida Gun Shows in Miami on Jan. 9, 2016. (Photo: Lynne Sladky, AP) "If the addition of these agents are used to apprehend criminals — not to harass law-abiding gun owners — and (the examiners are used) to improve the broken NICS system, we would have no objection,'' NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker told USA TODAY. 'Delay queue is growing' Burrowed in the rolling hills of the West Virginia countryside, the idyllic setting for the NICS operation masks the fraught, politically charged debate that has engulfed national gun policy. The NICS system, mandated by Congress as part of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, has for nearly 20 years been a centerpiece of the government's effort to block criminals from obtaining firearms. Yet the operation has largely struggled to keep pace with a steadily increasing number of firearm transfers, while maintaining databases of criminal and mental health records that rely solely on voluntary contributions from state and local authorities. Those records are crucial to determining whether prospective gun buyers are eligible to purchase firearms. "We live off those records,'' Morris said. "That is our bread and butter. ...The misnomer is that FBI has everything that exists on criminal history records in some big repository, and that's simply not true. A lot of data sits out in state and local systems. Being able to reach out and get that information can be very, very challenging.'' Morris said it is impossible to estimate how many records could be missing from the system. "You don't know what you don't know, right?'' FBI Assistant Director Stephen Morris oversees the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. (Photo: Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY) Earlier this month, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, in letters to the nation's governors as part of the administration's executive actions, urged states to provide additional information, saying the existing NICS databases were "far from complete.'' The letters also contained subtle warnings that the FBI intended to publish each state's contribution in the coming months. "The NICS is a critical tool in keeping firearms out of the hands of prohibited persons,'' Lynch wrote, "but it is only as effective as the information entered into the databases upon which it relies.'' While slightly more than 70% of firearms transactions are allowed to proceed within minutes after buyers appear at the counters of licensed dealers, according to the FBI, the records are especially key to quickly reconciling the remaining transfers that require deeper reviews of state and local data before decisions can be issued on whether guns can be sold. USA TODAY Gun license applicants get priority over federal compliance inspections Depending on the volume of gun sales, at any one time the queue of pending cases — which by law must be resolved within three business days — generally ranges in the several thousand. Recently, those numbers have ballooned as high as 13,000. If the cases, some of which depend on local law enforcement agencies finding paper records to satisfy an examiner's search, cannot be resolved within the three-day period, gun dealers are generally free to complete the sales. "Some (cases) aren't being looked at until the third day,'' Morris said, referring to the increasing volume and limited staffing. "That delay queue has grown ... that meter is running.'' Morris said that he would like to limit examiners' caseloads to two reviews per hour to ensure accuracy. But that number has nearly doubled to nearly four cases per hour. Roof serves as cautionary tale The enormous stakes are not always apparent, until the first reports of a new mass shooting echo across social media or cable television. No one recent case underscores the sobering nature of the work here more, officials said, more than an April transaction in South Carolina, reviewed by a veteran examiner at the West Virginia facility. In that case, which could not be resolved within the three-day period, Dylann Roof was mistakenly allowed to walk away with the .45-caliber handgun allegedly used two months later to kill nine people during an evening Bible study session at the iconic Emanuel AME Church in downtown Charleston. Dylann Roof is escorted from the Cleveland County Courthouse in Shelby, N.C., in this June 2015 photo. (Photo: Chuck Burton, AP) During the background check, Roof's March arrest on felony drug charges was mistakenly attributed to the Lexington County, S.C., Sheriff's Department, not theColumbia, S.C., Police Department, which actually made the arrest. The sheriff's department operates the jail where Roof had been detained. The Columbia police report included information that Roof admitted to drug possession, which would have triggered an immediate denial by NICS, according to bureau guidelines. But that information was never seen by the reviewer because the FBI's database did not include Columbia police contacts in its list of agency contacts for Lexington County purchase reviews. The reviewer did attempt to reach the Lexington County prosecutor's office, which was handling the drug case at the time, but received no response. "We are all sick about what happened,'' FBI Director James Comey said during a July briefing when the error was disclosed. Morris said the Roof case continually "humanizes the process,'' which mostly churns on far outside the public spotlight. "These are people who are making life-and-death decisions,'' Morris said, adding that analyst in the Roof case remains on the job working new cases every day. Given the information available at the time, authorities have said the examiner did everything possible to appropriately vet the purchase. "She's a great examiner, too. I'd love to have 230 more of them.''

CMMG makes excellent 9mm AR stuff, including an awesome dedicated "Colt-pattern" magazine lower. No mag block makes for super reliability. Mine is a 4.5" gun. I love it.

Ohhhhhh....., Yeaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! They Run Just Fine! :cool: Fortunate to have a few ARs in 9mm. The SBRs (5.5 and 10.5 inch) are a blast to shoot. They remind me of the old carnival BB guns they shoot so fast and point so quick. I also have one with a 16 inch barrel. That length is overkill as far as ballistics go, but one of the odd affects is that the rifle isn't as loud because of the long barrel sending all of the noise down range. I was running it at a steel match in Dickson and Hognut was having to hold the shot timer right next to the upper to pick up the shots. When shooting paper out at 50 yards, you can hear the bullets smacking the targets. I do run dedicated 9mm lowers and have found that the cheaper ASC Colt pattern mags work just fine. Like what R1100R has posted, Glock based 9mm ARs seem to have some issues at times, the biggest being the lack of dependable last shot bolt hold open . Another nice thing about Blow-Back 9mm ARs is that they will shoot just about any ammo you feed them. Brass, Steel, Aluminum case - - - They don't care just so long as you have the correct 9mm Heavy Buffer in them. Too Bad 173rdABN is locked down attending the Police Academy right now otherwise he would be posting his love of MP5s. Of course his MP5s have the "Happy Switch!" :dirty:

Yeah, that's Voldemort, King of Douches, Grand Emperor of Jackholes everywhere.

How about this list of states, which allow open carry without a permit: KY, MO, AR, LA, MS, AL, NC, VA   Only 1 state that we touch requires you to have a permit to carry a handgun in some form or fashion, GA and of course TN.   KY, AR, MS, VA, and NC are considered 'gold star' states, they don't seem to have any problems with 'untested' people carrying firearms, why do we think our citizens are so much different from theirs?  

Thanks guys.  Hey 10-Ring, I saw in another thread that there is a 3 month series in Gallatin that seems like it would be great for a new-to-comp shooter.  Is there anything i need to know or do before the next match on feb 15th? 

How would anyone know you are armed if you have it covered up with your coat?  I'd carry and not tell anyone.  There is no law keeping you from carrying, unless you are on school property.

Well if you want to pistol whip someone then don't play around. Well, revolver whip. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JMH42/media/Ruger%20SR._zpskbsexqz4.jpg.html][/URL]

Btw... I think people that go to any kind of store and then go buy it online are lame. It is just not something I do nor do I think it is fair. But I travel a lot and it is hard for me to get to typical brick and mortar stores, especially gun stores. When I am sitting in a hotel somewhere at midnight after getting my quotes done I can go online and see if there is anything I want. It is just as fair to reward the online retailer with a sale at that point. If you are a LGS and want to capture my business get your inventory online and accessible. It just isn't that hard to do these days. You don't need a super fancy site, just a functional web store. Gosh, they might even catch some biz from other people who live in different states... Mark
