  1. Last week, I had the chance to meet Mr. Potterfield. Had the chance to spend a little time talking to him, and we got to talking about the Type 14 Nambu, among other topics. Really nice guy, and an extremely sharp businessman. I realized that they were once Ely Arms, and I recalled ordering some 8mm Nambu brass from them some 30 years ago from an ad in Shotgun News. Back then they were very small, and he and his brother Jerry ran their business out of a small metal building. He thought it was kind of interesting that I had bought from them way back then. He asked for my business card before he headed out to the airport. Naturally, I didn't expect anything to come of that. However, today I got to my office, and there was a package for me from him - an autographed copy of a book of hunting trips, short stories, and general gun-related stuff that he wrote. What a thoughtful gesture! I have to say I was more than a little impressed.

  2. Sally Mullihan of Coral Springs, FL decided to take one of the jobs that most Americans are not willing to do. Sally applied for a job at a Florida lemon grove and seemed to be far too qualified for the job.  She had a liberal arts degree from the University of Michigan and had worked as a social worker and as a school teacher. The foreman frowned and said, "I have to ask you, have you had any actual experience in picking lemons?" "Well, as a matter of fact, I have," she said:  "I've been divorced 3 times, owned 2 Chrysler's and I voted twice for Obama."

  5. 1958 - 13th Demi-Brigade French Foreign Legion   July 1958: – rescue of Bambi – a lonely starving small donkey was rescued by Harka of 13e DBLE – a photo of a 13e DBLE member carrying the small donkey on his back became world-wide known – Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals based in London sent a lettre to the Legion – it thanked the Legion for that “demonstration of humanity” – the small donkey was given a name, Bambi, and became the mascot of 13e DBLE

  6. Ahhh this makes me smile. For capacity you will not beat a Glock 20. Gen 4 or 20SF all the way, 15+1 of cold hard death is a great feeling. I like the 29 too, Id get the 29SF if I get another, can throw +1 pinky extensions on it for 11+1 in a more concealable package I shot a RIA M1911A1 in 10mm, it is pretty good for the cost. Only 8 (or 9)+1 but slimmer, slightly heavy. I found a Sig P220 Elite Match in 10mm for a sweet heart deal, the two tone and that trigger....bro...but for 1400 MSRP...ehhhh youll be better off going with a RIA. Comm's choice? Glock 20 Gen 4/20SF Do NOT get a Delta Elite or 1006 - I have seen two of them explode so far and plus...RIA makes a superior design for a third of a Delta Elite and the 1006....lol, if you own a SW 10mm thats just a paradox, plus SW is for fairys Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

  8. As most know, some things at Harbor Freight can be hit-and-miss. However, one purchase I do not even slightly regret is my tool chest. For the money (and even more), I don't think you can find a better tool chest. I'm sure it's not $2855658585 Snap-on good, but I've been beyond happy with this purchase. I got mine for $299 during one of their super duper specials.

  10. My very first EDC once I got my HCP was the 29. I've never carried anything else. But man oh man I love my 20. I have a Gen 4 and Monkey has a Gen 3. The feel in the hand is amazing, low recoil and like I said, it just feels good. Honestly, just get both! ;-)

  20. I have a two rules when it comes to Harbor Freight.   One,  if I'm going to use it more than once, I won't buy it at Harbor Freight.   I've got a friend who is always buying impact sockets there - and then wondering why they're always exploding when he uses them.  I'm pretty sure they're just cheap sockets painted black.  He could have bought a nice set a couple of times over on all of them he's bought over the years.   Which brings me to my second rule - always wear eye protection when using that junk.

  22. I fully agree. I am not a father, but there is nothing in this world more heinous than someone who would harm a child. I would happily give or risk life or limb to save a child I don't even know or to bring either hell on earth or eternal hell to anyone who would harm a child. I also fear for the day this exact type of behavior shows up on our soil. I have heard it said that ISIS plans to attack our schools. I can only pray that God intervenes somehow. I am not a soldier or member of law enforcement either. Doesn't matter. Someone once said( can't remember who, but it is quoted often) "All that is necessary for evil to succeed, is for good men to do nothing" As good men, when evil comes our way we must take a stand. I know many of this forum will do just that. We must remain vigilant. I fear the time is coming very soon.

  23.   He also walked back and forth to town, by himself all the time.  The feds, cops, ATF, sheriff and the locals all knew this.  They could have picked him up ANYTIME they wanted too.  He was not hiding.   They wanted to make an example of him and his compound.  Period.  It really is that simple.

  35.     So if it was amended to remove section 1359 it wouldn't have to go before a committee again since that's a radical change? If it doesn't, why wouldn't more people do a bait and switch for bills so they can get stuff around committees? Heck, why aren't we doing that more?!

  37. Public raids, as in with reporters, are only done to show the jurisdiction is being tough on crime. It is generally done more often during election years. In my jurisdiction they conduct quite a few raids in the months leading up to an election. And every raid that results in an arrest often has reporters on scene as it is happening. Then there is some story about how the sheriff, district attorney and the local government is tough on crime. This is the same reason plea deals are offered, to boost conviction rates so the DA can proudly proclaim they are tough on crime with a high conviction rate but in reality they are generally really soft on crime. In cases where a trial would be a slam dunk they offer a reduced sentence. They claim it is to save the taxpayers the cost of a trial but it does not matter because either way that time will be filled with another case.

  41. They are very poor shooters, some are even unsafe. You should send it to me for proper testing just to be sure yours in one of the very few that are safe. For sure send LOTS of ammo for the testing. It should not take more than a few 1000 rounds and a few months, You pay shipping both ways, my time will be free. :dirty:                 That is a great looking rifle, hope it stays with you a good long time.

  44. Virginia allows open carry with no permit, so it recognizes the right to bear and wear arms, Tennessee does not. Tennessee allows you a defense against prosecution of the intent to go armed clause of the TCA (Jim Crow Law still on our books) via a tax.

  47. I've got to be honest... as a father of three, one of whom is half the victim's age, I am having a really hard time with this.  I am having a terribly difficult time rectifying the base instinct I have to just say "Kill every damn last one of them" against the thin vapor of supposed moral superiority that Western culture tries so hard to smother us in that says "They aren't all murderers".   Right now, the basal instincts are winning, hard core.  I want to keep my kids home, behind locked doors, where I can protect them.  All the time.  I want to destroy the group of people that spawned this unholy monster.  I want it to be impossible for any of them to ever rise up again against us.  But none of this would bring back the child whose life was lost.  None of that would ease the pain those parents are feeling.   Sooner or later this is showing up in our streets, in our towns, in our cities.  They know the thing that we value most as a society is our children, and that's where they will hit us.  But we continue to usher them in because we feel safe in our moral superiority.   God help us.

  48. It's not a religion it's a cult. No religion on earth would claim a pathway to God and eternal peace and paradise, and promote this behavior. AND this broad is one of many an this poor childs name would be lost on a list too long to read. Only good muzzie is a dead one. I don't care who likes that comment and who don't. They should get what they give. They give nothing to society and have nothing to offer mankind but death turmoil. Give it back to them tenfold. ....but they're not all like this....pffffttt. They prove time and time again they are.

  49. Koresh was a sociopath, sure, but what happened to those ATF guys and to the women and kids was the GOVERNMENTS fault. Koresh isnt the bad guy here. They had an opportunity to detain Koresh in town prior to the invasion and failed to do so The allegations of child abuse and incest were UNFOUNDED, the main witness/snitch was the only confirmed rapist who was used by the - you guessed it - the govt as the impetus behind the whole investigation. So because they THOUGHT someone MIGHT have a NFA violation and some RAPIST told them that he MIGHT be raping people himself they wrongfully invaded private property full of guys who said they defend themselves, got killed (shocker) and then the FBI decided itd be a good idea to shoot CS gas into a burning building. I PROMISE you that the most basic CBRN handler, explosives handler or anyone who employs CS (2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile) which is a CYANOCARBON ffs knows it will turn into hydrogren cyandie as the carbon bonds are burnt away The fire didnt kill those people highly concentrated cyanide gas did - which is not a peaceful death - cyanide prevents your mitochondria from processing oxygen - you breath but never get any breath as your blood turns toxic from the lack of oxygenation and your heart finally bursts...
