The wife and I voted yesterday.  Cruz supporters here as well.  But I will say it until I am blue in the face.  In the primary you vote with your heart.  In the general you vote with your head.  The "my guy didn't get picked so I'm going to take my ball and go home" mindset will deliver the whitehouse to Hillary or Sanders and then its just a few short years until gun rights are practically a thing of the past once they get their SCOTUS nominations in place.

Must watch! :) https://youtu.be/46ry-X2CoJk

We would start talking about our candidate but after an hour, it would become a discussion of guns then a swap meet. :cool:

Hopefully it won't happen because the car door is locked?

Anyone ever consider that maybe Trump is in the race to split the votes between him and the republican nominee. He has said he will run as an independent, which hurts us more than Hillary, if he does not get the nomination. That alone tells me he is not loyal to anyone and will only go the direction that best suites him. Also, I find it really hard to believe a native born New Yorker can have an ounce of conservative in him. Look at those he socializes with to see where his true colors are. People socialize with like minded people.   I can tell you I am voting for Cruz and I will not vote for Trump. How many candidates have you seen shooting? Shooting machine guns? Cooking bacon on the barrels of "assault weapons? That's right, none. He is a Constitutional lawyer that has fought for gun rights. He was heavily involved in the Heller case. He is still fighting for us so for that reason alone I will vote for him. He also wants to abolish the IRS and our current tax system. He wants to fix the immigration system without giving them amnesty.   There are a lot more reasons to like Cruz than things that are wrong. I was critical of him the last time I spoke of him. Now I see and now I want Cruz to be president. He has a long history of supporting the Constitution.   If nothing else just read an unbiased history of what all he has done in his life. If there is one candidate that is for the people it is Cruz.

Everybody talking about Richonne and I'm thinking " hey Daryl picked up a Speed Six somewhere, nice score"

I have owned an M&P40 and sold it. Bought the Glock 23 as a replacement then picked up a G26 later as I was used to shooting 9mm out of the M&P40. I've been looking for a full size 9mm in other brands just because I there are other nice choices. Pick up a FN FNS9 with the 4" barrel. It's almost the exact size as a G19 and smaller than the G17 that was in the running when I was looking around. Came with 3-17 round magazines, papers, lock. The box is nice also, for a box I suppose. Interesting build date on this one. Almost new old stock at 3/11/14 test fire. Feels like the M&P trigger. Range time is TBD. Empty weight is good too, haven't loaded a full mag yet as tinkering time is limited. Holster hunting to come later. Might have to have one made as there are not too many out there that catch my eye.

http://parallax-tactical.theshoppad.com/#/product/pxt-gen2-m-16-tin-titanium-nitrite-complete-bcg You can get a TiN coated BCG for $199 You'd be much better off just buying one and just keeping the original as a spare.

And one more thing, this is the most important election in our children's lifetimes. The justices appointed during this presidency will make up the majority. Do we want to take a chance on Trump nominating someone who is against the Second Amendment or the Constitution. The SCOTUS is unbalanced now and with a nominee from Hillary or Trump it could mean the end of our gun rights. And for a glimpse of how that is look at England and Australia. In England you can go to prison for shooting someone who is trying to kill you and Australia is similar. We cannot afford to loose a single seat on the Court, at least not if we want to be able to defend ourselves.   We live in very dangerous times, all you have to do is look at what is happening across the globe to see this country is the last bastion of freedom and that will be a thing of the past if Hillary gets elected.   Please lets not take a chance on Trump and vote for the only nominee who believes in the power of the Constitution.

:stare: Just makes no sense to me.  Most will acknowledge that these signs mean nothing to those that are willing to break the law, why target the law abiding?  I thought laws were there to prevent crime, not make criminals. 

Why would Jesus say they probably don't even have any ammo? You can clearly see the JHPs in the chambers on those revolvers pointed at his face.

  Well, if that wasn't the end of the story, those two deputies need to be strung up.

  Easy, he's a long lost descendant of Houdini ...           Because they don't keep babies in jail, just bad guys who break out and escape almost as often as the bad guys on the old "24" series ...     BTW, I want to know what type of batteries are in all these cars they keep firing up, obviously I'm buying the wrong brands ...

What's on the other side, it seems quite interested.

I heard on the news a while ago that Bobby was being moved to a Hospice facility which more or less means the doctors have given up on him. I can say this for sure Bobby is and always will be 1000 times more of a man than that POS that attacked him is or ever will be.   Bobby and his family will be in my PRAYERS

  If you aren't already, you are going to have to get plugged into a network of folks who rescue dogs.  You can't save them all; others will have to participate.   And I'm sure your Dutch Shepherd friend would probably echo this... sooner or later you're also probably going to have to narrow in on a breed.  It's far easier to place dogs with the right homes if you focus on one breed, their traits, needs, etc. and become known as a go-to person for that.   Right now ... and I'm being completely honest ... I am afraid you are on the road to becoming the owner of a lot of random dogs.   :)

Just keep working on the accuracy.  Once you start getting "most accurate" at the matches, start increasing the speed.

Beating the elderly, women or children to death are cases that can probably only be remedied with capital punishment.

Something you may not realize is that having a scope actually built by Leupold might be better as well as cheaper. There was a thread on another forum a few years back where a guy was about to buy their shotgun scope then have the reticle swapped to an actual BDC reticle that matched his accurate load. It was nearly identical to another ready made scope Leupold had but the custom one was a few hundred cheaper.   Most BDC reticles do not match most loads. You might get really, really lucky and have your accurate load be the one used to calibrate the stadia lines but in most cases they do not match at all.   When you are dialing a lot you want a better quality scope. The cheaper ones use cheaper materials and the clicks become mushy over time. If it is going to be zeroed and stay that way for long periods the cheaper ones will work fine. Also, the cheaper ones might settle into their zero by shifting a little as it is getting shot.

A corollary, from Captain's Journal, via Sipsey Street:   “There aren’t too many human interaction problems that can’t be fixed with a .45 ACP 230-grain fat-boy.” -- Herschel Smith.

    It is the primary I voted for who I think is best so I decided to go with Cruz.  If Trump wins I will likely vote for him in the end but what I prefer is Cruz.   Thanks Robert

I also knew the victim in this as I use to live in Kingston Springs for many years and son still does. I wish him the best and hope he is able to come back from the stroke but his age is going to be against him I'm afraid. I keep my Jeep doors locked while I am in it driving. I also have a Bersa in a holster beside my seat. It goes there when I get in the jeep and goes in my wear holster when I get out. God Have mercy on any bad guy that tries to open my door because I will have none for them................... :cool: 

I completely agree we don't want them out of control.  I just don't think there is any proof yet they are out of control.  I think our current regulations seem to have things pretty balanced.  If a time comes things do get out of balance, I am all for options to put them in balance.  We can hunt them all year now so I don't see night hunting being the magic answer is all.

Both of my vehicles lock the doors automatically. What I don't like about the Caddy is that when you put the car in park it automatically unlocks the doors too.

It's cases like this that may eventually end up in front of the SCOTUS bench, so for those that want to throw their vote away by voting third party in the General Election, I feel we will all Reap what You Sow.

Pshaw - been there done that 45 years ago

Rick and Daryll......two effin idiots. *sigh*

Had a rather unsavory appearing youth attempt to open my door on NYE about 3 am.  I reached for the pistol, he would have gotten it had he pressed the matter.  Keep your doors locked folks.

Are you running the factory recoil spring? I ask because most 18lb springs will be difficult to overcome if try to seat the mag and drive the slide forward...on my single stack a 13 lb spring allows the momentum of the mag to overcome the slide stop letting the slide go into battery on mag change. Also could potentially need more shooting to break in. My go to IDPA gun took about 3k rounds before it began to reliably go into battery on mag change.

I don't know but I sure hope it does. It's $100 for an annual permit at PC or $5.50 for 2 hours. I have no idea how they keep up with the time on those.  I quit going up there a few years ago after seeing some really stupid people showing up as well as a few a****les showing up. It got pretty bad for a while before they upgraded the place. I joined the CRC and always shoot there now.

My job has me on the road everyday dealing with a-holes behind the wheel. Not once has it ever crossed my mind to stop one of them and give them what for. What the hell are people thinking these days ???

if someone i don't know opens my car door without my approval they will get one in the chest. Not sure of the specifics of law, but I assume if it happens they don't mean to shake my hand.

Another vote for the Vickers sling https://www.blueforcegear.com/vickers-sling   If I am reading the post right, you may be unsure how to connect a sling to the rifle? If MOE handguards you need the sling attachment. https://www.magpul.com/products/msa-moe-sling-attachment and the stock attachment will vary depending upon the exact stock but if it is the MOE stock you can run the sling through the stock or use an IWC QD mount http://www.impactweaponscomponents.com/product/qd-rotation-limited-buttstock-sling-mount-n-slot/

Well I think this will be my final update for The Blacklist Pups. I feel like I have harassed you all enough. If you want, you can click on the link for the YouCaring page and subscribe to my updates there. I just wanted to share the girl we found wandering down the road yesterday. She has no name yet but I am leaving towards Mascha. This is her terrified and stressed after I ran to her in the road, put a leash around her neck and put her in the back of the truck. She is HUGE. Her feet fill the palm of my hand and her legs are like baby tree trunks. It is amazing. This is the dirty birdie once we finally got her home and into a room where she could be secluded until I get her to the vet tomorrow. I need to make sure she is fully healthy before I do anything else. I can't risk anything else happening to the pups. Finally here she is washed and ready to be blow dried. I think she has some Newfie in her. Her coat is super long and fluffy. Luckily, I think she is around 12-14 weeks old. Which means I can get her hopefully spayed around the same time as Ressler. Who we finally have interest in from a family. They've asked a lot of the important questions so now we are just waiting to get an application back to move forward if they are really interested. I want to thank all of you who have been so generous to donate. Without your help, I don't even know where we would be. I am going to talk to my doctor about getting scanned for the puppy magnet so we can get it removed. LOL For one last time I am going to do this as well. Below is the link to the YouCaring page where you can sign up for all future updates on the puppies. It is where I load all receipts from what I have spent as well as photos of the pups. It is where you can donate or use links to share our story as well, which is always appreciated. https://www.youcaring.com/coop-liz-ressler-and-red-516225 Lastly, a link to our Amazon Wish List. This is basically to help with Food (Dry and Wet) and Puppy pads. They are all Amazon Prime options which means free shipping if you are a prime member but it will come straight to our house once you select Wish List Recipient. https://amzn.com/w/1T8GYU8KCI9XU Once again, thank you for EVERYTHING you have done to help from donations to sharing. Monkey and I appreciate it more then we can ever tell you and again, like I said, for the sake of transparency all receipts are loaded into the you caring. I do have a few I need to add from recent food and puppy pad shopping trips.

I was just gifted a legion 226SAO and the trigger is very impressive. I started with Sigs in the mid 90s when the 229 came out and that one has been super durable. The Legion package to me was more about the X-ray sights (Trijicon HD), the trigger parts, grips and the PVD finish. I wish I could get similar grips for my others, and we'll see how the finish wears. Accuracy is tops. In my avatar thats 45 rounds at 10yds. OK 44 there is a stray hidden by the grip, but that's on me, not the gun. The hype and marketing means nothing to me but the gun has substance

I love watching the show, never read the comic and think maybe the simplest solution to all this would be for someone to start a separate thread on the comic and how it relates to the show. That way those who don't want to read the spoilers wouldn't if they were posted in another thread. Dunno, just my $.02. Take it for what it's worth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quit your crying, Meadows. You're not east... I'm east. Yours is just a short commute. Al

  I never liked the S&W BG enough to want to buy one, especially after shooting one and comparing it to a KT P3AT and Ruger LCP. So for those small pocket carry pistol occasions I just stick with the LCP. But once I finish my weight loss program and buy new clothes some deep pocket trousers are on my to buy list. Then it's going to be a G-43 and SA  SDs .45 3.3 for seasonal pocket carry rotation. Fourteen more pounds to go! 

Indoor ranges are horrible. I will not return to one if I can avoid it.

The cases were roughly half full, so I don't believe there would have been a problem; but I finally decided I did not want to take a chance.  I was hoping someone else had done the same thing with this powder and could share their experience, but since no one had, I just went ahead and pulled them.  I had several other bad cartridges that needed to be pulled as well, so I just bit the bullet, spent and hour or so, and pulled them all.  I hate pulling bullets worse than just about anything, but in the end it was better safe than sorry.  

This thread is about The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead is a comic book as well as a television show. In fact, without the comic the show wouldn't exist. So, to me, discussing the comic as it relates to the show is valid. I do try and alert people when I am going to mention a possible spoiler but don't always remember to do so. I will not, however, promise to refrain from discussing it.

Lives in TN, shoots, likes bourbon. Yep you've found the right place!   Welcome!  :cheers:

  I agree.  I have been saying that ever since it was apparent that he wasn't killed when he fell off the dumpster.  When he (presumably) gets the bat it will just further underline the senselessness of it all - this guy who has survived so many times when he really shouldn't have and some maniac - not even a zombie - snuffs him just like that.     I have really never understood the dislike of Carl.  I never saw him as a 'brat'.  Sure, he back-talked Rick a lot but that was because Rick was being a dumbass.  When Carl told Rick that if he had killed certain people when he had the chance then Laurie, T-Dog, Merle and others would still be alive Carl was right.  When Carl reminded Rick that he (Rick) had told Carl back at the farm that he would have to grow up and pointed out that Rick also needed to accept that things had changed and do a little 'growing up', as well, Carl was right.  When Carl made the decision to off the Governor's guy who was coming toward him, Herschel, Judith and Beth with a shotgun Carl was right and he was right to stand up for himself and his decision when Herschel and Rick wanted to whine about it later.  Heck, with the possible exception of Carol, Carl is the only character in the whole show - including Daryl and Michonne - who truly seems to understand what living in a post-apocalyptic world means.  He is pretty tough and resourceful and, in the comics, becomes even more of a badass after he loses his eye.  In fact, there is a part in the comics where the person who is supposed to be watching after Carl while Rick is away from Alexandria is really worried because Carl had disappeared and Abraham tells her something to the effect of, "The only people who need to worry about Carl are the ones who piss him off."  There is even a point where Negen - the sociopathic main villain at the time, tells Carl something to the effect of, "I gotta be honest with you, kid.  You scare the ____ out of me."

Unless you're voting for Carson, I think it's OK to vote early. ;)

It's tough to photograph, but with the magazine in the FN is only a 1/2" taller and same with the beaver tail. You would have to get caliper out to find the small differences everywhere else. G23(G19 size) is on top of course.

I've been in the market for my first one for the past couple months.  Finally won an auction on Gunbroker yesterday for a G2 Contenden super 14 in 7-30 waters.  Excited about getting it and looking for all the info I can get on the cartridge.  Oh and it also has a Ultra red dot sight on it.  Don't think the ammo is going to be on the shelf at many of the big box sporting good stores though so I ordered some dies.

What? Cash for Clunkers.
