She was Born that way.

    Ya realize the target demographic ain't us anymore, right?   As the oldest of we three fogies, while the music itself didn't speak all that much to me, I was still pret durn impressed with the staging and spectacle itself, near DeMille in scale.   - OS

when everyday residents can't get permits there I am not sure why retired LEO should get special privileges.   The wrong is not the retired LEO angle, the wrong is the NJ laws to begin with.

Shocked me!!   The lady can sing.  

Holographic Sight (EOTech) for 100 and under, quality scope for over.

  I often wonder if any of the new "bro-country" artists ever put on an old Haggard or Jones album and think, "where did we screw it up so badly?"

No sympathy from me on this. Welcome to being just a citizen. Until we quit creating different classes of the priveliged we will never have equality under the law. Retired police officers should not be considered "special". Nor should politicians or prosecutors or judges or anyone who works for the gov'mnt. If we are all citizens then we should not have priveleged classes of citizen. The right to bear arms is meant for all.

Sounds governmental.

Come on now guys, for those that have been to my office as both a dental patient or as a 'retail' customer as my staff likes to call it, you know that I have the best mags out there. Sporting Classics, Guns and Ammo, American Rifleman, Bowhunting, Tennessee Sportsman, and more than I can remember. I am the one that orders. You won't find Time, Newsweek, or any other liberal rags either. You will also see my framed NRA Lifetime Benefactor certificate as well.

I shoot with both eyes closed personally

I have three sets of night sights within my gun collection. Trijicon, True Glow TFOs, and Siglites on my duty weapon. Honestly there isn't a huge difference in any of them. The Siglites may be the brightest but that is actually tough to call. The TGTFO may be a little easier to see during the day.

very classy rendition.  She has amazing talent.

Lady gaga is bad ass. Great singer and piano player!

Strange, as price decreases at the pump, it encourages consumption, which increases existing federal and state tax revenues. Since liars figure and figures don't lie the percentage of tax paid by the consumer also increases, becoming regressive on low income and not progressive for upper income. Very liberal plan or is it conservative?

A reminder about what all of our servicemen have given to preserve the freedoms we have. Thank you.

Several years ago I purchased a new house in an upscale part of Chattanooga.  My house is very private with the driveway going up about 500 feet on a steep hill into the woods. The house cannot be seen from the main road, which is one of the reasons I bought it.  The area is very low crime, and I thought the property layout was ideal for not having to worry about thieves and such.  The driveway and woods are natural deterrents.  I felt so secure that I had never thought of buying a safe or putting in an alarm system.  I had guns, knives, watches, etc... unsecured all over the house.  For almost three years nothing happened... or at least that is what I thought.   My 80 year old mother lives with me, and every now and then she would tell me that she thought someone had been in the house.  She would say stuff like she thought someone had taken a shower or slept in my bed.  Nothing was missing from the house so I would always dismiss it as old age and/or paranoia.  A few weeks ago on a Saturday she told me that someone had been in her van and there was a bunch of stuff in it that wasn't hers.  I dismissed her concern by rationalizing that it was more than likely my nephew's stuff he left in it when he borrowed it a month ago.  She didn't buy my reasoning and was adamant that someone had been in her van.  She wanted to call the police to have them fingerprint or do all the cool CSI stuff to figure out who was in it.  I told her that since nothing was missing that they wouldn't do anything at all, so there is no point in calling them.  I also asked her why nothing was stolen from the house (she would keep a backup house key in her van).  In the end, nothing was done.   A couple of days had went by and I had pretty much forgotten about things until I came home from work that Monday and found my sister and nephew at my house.  When I walked in the house I was informed that the police were on their way.  When I inquired as to why, I was told that it was because someone had not only been in my mom's van, but they had borrowed it by hot-wiring it and brought it back.  The stuff they left in the van was drug paraphernalia (gram-size baggies, drug residue, etc...).  When the police arrived, they investigated my mom's van.  It was loaded with drugs and drug residue.  Whoever borrowed it was using it as a party van or drug dealing.  They were grinding up Xanax pills.  Wow, just wow.  Nobody in our family is into anything like that.  Heck, we don't know anybody that is into stuff like that.  The entire situation was baffling, but it was also very scary.   We have no idea how often this happened, nor did we know if those people had been in my house.  There was a house key in the van, and my mom would swear that someone had been in the house from time to time.  The baffling thing is nothing has been stolen.  I chalked that up to sheer luck and good fortune.  The very next day I took off from work.   I met with security people to install a monitored security system for my house, changed all the locks on my door, installed motion detected flood lights, installed 4 sets of blinds in my kitchen, bought a 1000 lb. Liberty Colonial-50 safe, and commanded that no keys will be left outside the house.    This entire situation has been so confusing, but as I said earlier, I feel very fortunate that I did not have anything stolen.  The other thing I will take from this situation is not to be so dismissive of my mother's concerns.  She still may be a little paranoid at times, but in this situation, she was correct in her observations.    

Unless someones tried to do a DIY action job on it your most likely problem is the rebound spring. Its simple to replace and if you go to Brownells go ahead and splurge for a rebound spring tool.

  I contacted them to ask about it and they confirmed the coating had changed.   The last coat they used was more of a matte finish and the new is a bit more rich of a black.   The last coating was good. I missed tapping in a roll pin with a punch on my Pistol build and it scraped across it and didn't leave a scratch in the finish.   I'm willing to bet this coating is even better. :up: 

My brother found half of a really nice 8 last week in the middle of a four acre field on his property, it looked like it had just fallen off.

No, because they don't care. There are very few country music singers/artists, they are simply entertainers making money, that's all.

hmmm.  More challenging?  Did you order those neon flashing signs for me so I can cut back on the procedurals?  

  That was the best performance of that song I've ever heard.  If she done more of her songs like this, she could suck up an entire new group of fans that hates that pop music BS.

  I wouldn't watch a Super Bowl without the commercials. It's half the attraction for me.   Actually, I wouldn't have likely watched this one at all 'cept for the association and historic significance of Peyton being involved.   - OS

Break each part of you draw down into parts, ex, at buzzer put hand on gun, stop! Do it again 10-15 times. Then add hand on gun pull out of holster, stop! 10-15 times. Thats with no target just mount the gun and draw.Do this so forth and so on, Stoeger call these micro drills, repeation is key so pick the draw apart and work on small peaces of it. As each part get easier start adding them together and thats how you will be able to prefect your draw and first shot, but it takes time and a lot of practice. This is no overnight success, months even years are spent working on skill building and marksmanship skills. After all it is a perishable one at that so it's an everyday job. Dry fire is not very fun but its the cheapest way to get to level your wanting to achieve. I hope this helps answer some of you question. This is one of the best thing that helped me, its definitely worth buying http://astore.amazon.com/bensto02-20/detail/1482009978

Currently carry a S&W model 38, prior to that it was a S&W model 36-2. Two Bianchi speed strips in my pocket. My brother has tried to convince me to convert to the Glock model 26. Actually is smaller than my current carry, but I just don't care for Glocks. Guess I'm just old school. Capacity is not a concern.

they both are great ! love me some 2A

Try as they may, no human will top Jimi's version. He wins without singing a note.

If I pocket carry, it is usually a J-frame in a Desantis Nemesis.  

I saw who was about to sing and skipped forward on the DVR. I'll have to take y'all's word for it.

6.9mm and those sights are pretty nice. They do sometimes lack quality control though.

"It's all part of the plan..."-NWO   also, Jade Helm confirmed.

I ran 100% factory when I had it. Some polishing but bonestock. Never had an opportunity to chrono them but with what they did to steel I know they were flying. Especially 155gr RNFPs...pure savagery. If you got any other 10mm questions feel free to let me know. I put my fun calibers on the backburner to save money for my most important person in life but ill probably have the powder if you ever do make it near Mid Tenn Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

probably got the idea from Haslem.

Agreed. Very fun match.

  It's the uber rare full auto model.   - OS

Let's get Washington and Jefferson off Mount Rushmore

So you mean in 50 years a bunch of states will get fed up with Washington telling them how to live and invoke the 10th amendment? Hmmm.... :stare: And by the way:

What do you expect... at an "NAACP Image Awards" event?    I'm constantly amazed at the mentality of Hollywood and the "entertainment" industry.  They claim to want guns banned and everyone to live in a "love fest" world but make their money on movies and TV shows filled with violence... guns everywhere, good guys shoot, bad guys shot, multiple killings by various gruesome methods, kidnappings, mutilations, prime time displays of corpses in the morgue, etc.    I've considered picking a channel, any channel, and counting the violence and firearms shown between 6:30 and 10 some night;  then I come to my senses and ask myself... why?  It won't make any difference; nothing will change. 

While I appreciate the offer and would love the fellowship, I'm not sure I want a lumpy floor

Thanks for posting this bit of history! Many people sacrificed so much for the betterment of others. Let us not forget our history. Especially at a time when we have those in our land trying to rewrite it! The time when leaders were united and decisive to fight for a righteous cause with the idea of bringing tyranny to an end seem to be over. WWII seems to be the last time we had balls and the will to prevail. God bless America and God help us!

Some folks do not understand that the flag they hate is part of us all.

Great idea, wipe out all historical symbols so in 50 years no one remembers what happened and then it repeats itself.   I don't know a single person (know they do exist, I just don't associate with them) that believes that the confederate flag symbolizes slavery.  But I guess the people from California need something to do in between making movies and trying to ban guns.

the best thing that could happen for gun rights this year would be getting rid of the criminal penalty behind the no gun sign. forget this other stuff that aint likely to happen.

  Would be a great way to get rid of Voldemort. 

You bring the spirits and pizza, we'll have a TGO meet and figure out how to do it!

Honestly my favorite are Mega. The best quality standard forged lowers available. Built my SBR's from them. Love that the uppers are engraved with Mega also. Also like AeroPrecision.

Jesus Christ!!! It has been legal to open carry a handgun without a permit in Kentucky for as long as I can remember. How is this state any different? Any "blood in the streets" predictions are for complete idiots. 

I agree, if they want to infringe on our Constitutional Rights, then at the very least they should make them free and immediate.  The whole thing is nothing more than a revenue stream that the State will not infringe upon, if it was about safety they would have more meat in the classes and make many more courses available to the public.   I support Constitutional Carry, but if it where to pass in TN, I would still maintain my permit; at least until the rest of the US follows suit which will be...never.

Some are loosing them but plenty of antlered bucks have been shot in the past week.  I've found them in really thick areas.  Along fence rows as well.  You want to look in places where there was something to pull them off.  If I really wanted some sheds I'd look into antler traps.

Wilderness Instructor, I wear it whether I am carrying or not. http://www.thewilderness.com/tactical-belts/original-instructor-belt/ Edit to add: You can get them at Greens Military in Knoxville.
