this story can't be true. the news tells me criminals get their guns through a loophole in the gun show laws, or order them on the internet without a background check.

This thread is disgusting.

They were caught pretty quick.

Why? So innocent people will die and ISIS can celebrate it as a failing of western society?

We all know and love this photo. It was taken 71 years ago on Feb 23rd. This is on Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima. The flag was raised by five Marines and a sailor. In a nod to the Army and Air Force, there are a couple of pics of them below. The pic below is from the Battle of Midway. Midway was the turning point of the war in the Pacific.

Well dang. This world needs to make up its friggin mind! All this acceptance, validation, and be who you FEEL you are that's preached from the liberal soap box nowadays....am I allowed to be me or not?!

You like big planes and you can not lie?

No loss of human life is to be celebrated. It was built by the Swiss, Germans and Italians - who no doubt profited handsomely.

Pam me your address, I have some magazine bands for you.

Or you can skip the grass seed and just spread straw and tell everybody "it's growing".  No mowing.  :D

Grass is something I always want to develop some expertise in, but never quite get around to getting up to par.   Couple that with my general laissez faire attitude towards yard maintenance, and you can imagine the state my lawn is in at any given time.

Comms started it :)

A large portion of that 1 million probably needs killing anyway. Let 'er rip, tater chip.

Well, someone had to say it.

    Oh come on.  You scared of making a glock ugly?  

Take a Dremel to a $600 gun? No thanks!

Don't say it.....just shut up Caster.

I must have gigantic hands for a woman then! My 29 is an SF but my 20 gen 4 isn't. Feels just fine too. Dunno.

  EXCELLENT question to ask. Anyone who doesn't seriously consider this is asking for trouble, IMHO. As one who also switches a lot, I feel 100% sure I can draw and fire any of the handguns in my rotation.    It helps that I avoid buying guns with manual safeties and would never even consider carrying any of mine that do have a manual safety.  Also, I practice drawing whichever one I'm carrying several times before I leave the house, so I don't get caught off guard.   I wonder how many people would get fouled up by something as simple as changing from an unbuttoned cover garment to a pullover to a zip-up jacket. Switching from OWB to IWB or pocket carry seems more risky to me than switching from one gun to another when the carry method stays the same.

I have TFOs on my XD-s and had them on 2 other previous guns. They are hands down my favorite handgun sights.   If they made them for CZs, I'd buy a set for all 7 or 8 of my CZs.

Looks to me like we should enact a safe hammer law outlawing any hammer over 1ounce-after all no one needs these assault hammers

WW2 ended on August 15, 1945. The US Army Air Force didn't become the US Air Force until September 18, 1947.   The USAF did fly the P-51 Mustang though, well into Korea when they were replaced by the new-fangled jet fighters by the end of 1953. They saw some limited service in specialty roles up through the 1960s, but very few.

  Move to Denver?

  Yep, those pictures of the Air Force in WW2 are all still classified...

  I'm still looking for the pic of the Air Force.

  Best not to contest charge with credit card first, pisses off PayPal, and they used to sometimes terminate account if you did that, as it gives them no chance to try and get money back from the other guy's account.   - OS

You will get your money back. Ebay is biased toward the buyer.    File a complaint with ebay, they will give you your money back.

  Lot of it going around these parts lately too :(

You mean calibrate for your tire size silly goose

Scared of giving it zero resale value should I decide to sell it.

I feel comfortable when switching and I do practice with all a lot.

  The first part of that statement is true, but the second, maybe not so much. The Fw-190 and the Bf-109 (Messerschmitt 109) were not quite so far behind the P-51. The P-51 had a big advantage in pilot visibility and who sees the other first often fired first and won. +1 to the Mustang. It was also faster (though only slightly more so than the Fw-190) and had a longer range. The range thing was great for our bombers, but really didn't matter when it was fighter v. fighter. What that range did was allow the P-51 to get in the fight in the first place which is what changed the casualty rate so drastically. I suspect that if the older P-40 had the range of the P-51, it would have been a formidable fighter in its own right against the Nazis and would have kept that casualty rate lower from the start. Overall, the P-51 performed better at high altitudes while the German fighters performed better at low altitudes. Depending on the mission, either side could have had the advantage, but the P-51's high altitude advantage certainly helped on the bomber escorts. Luftwaffe pilots would often dive for the deck upon engaging the P-51s trying to get them to follow to where they'd have the advantage. The Fw-190 was tougher than the P-51, more like the older P-47 Thunderbolt but not quite as tough as that tank with wings. The Bf-109 outgunned the Mustang, especially with its late-in-the-war bomber-attack armament of 2 x 13mm machineguns, 2 x 20mm machineguns, and 1 x 30mm cannon. The P-51 carried 4 or 6 x cal .50 machine guns depending on model.   In the end, The P-51 was the better aircraft, but a skilled Luftwaffe pilot was a force to reckon with in either the Fw-190 or the Bf-109. I'd say that before the P-51 it was like fighting K98s with trench guns. After the P-51 it was like fighting K98s with Lee Enfield Mk 4s.

I sent a message regarding the legitimacy of this endeavor. Here is the response I received: "Paul, thanks for the information. We can offer up our official website as proof it's not a scam: http://www.friendsofsycamoreshoals.org/ We've been involved in this endeavor for about a year, and only recently began doing large scale advertising on Facebook, and also have contracted with Lamar to put up billboards in select areas. Thanks so much for your help!" I looked into it before giving them $35. I was comfortable enough to do it, but it's understandable that some may question the legitimacy.

Eliminating the criminal penalty for the no gun signs does not mean that private property owners will not be able to ask people to leave.  Most states do not have this sort of law and business owners still can ask people to leave their property.  A business owner in Tennessee can ask you to leave right now without any sort of no gun sign because again that is a trespass issue.   The weapons charge that is a Class B Misdemeanor is worse than the Class C Misdemeanor trespass charge.  A weapons conviction can cause you to have your permit suspended and your firearm confiscated.  Since trespass is not a weapons issue, the problem probably would not affect your permit or involve your gun being confiscated if you were asked to leave and you did not leave.     Sometimes I wonder why pro gun people would not want restrictions reduced on their ability to carry legally.  Isn't the whole point of paying for the permit so that you do not have to worry about a weapons charge and dealing with your gun being taken?   If you go to downtown Memphis or Nashville, you will see what a pain it is to legally carry both in the local government owned buildings and private property due to these no gun signs.

G20 and G40 are both awesome guns.  Just sold my G20 and already on the look out for another one. 

I never considered a vanity tag, this I might though. I've seen them from other states and was overly impressed, they look great! Thanks for sharing.

I change often, I must be the weird one.  Sometimes I like the various Glocks, others the various Sigs, and then there is the 1911 and the Beretta.  I believe my team of rotation has feelings, and if they don't get love, then they may not function when needed. 

Howdy and Welcome back to TGO   :wave:

I've got a handful that I rotate.  Just depends on where I'm going, the weather, what I'm wearing, etc.  Go to is a Taurus TCP, Glocks, 1911s, and J-frames occasionally make it as well. 

Any ideas of a what a 200rd belt of 308 will cost?

Agreed, when I moved to TN the plus on lower taxes, was a big deal. Even better is the people and the general attitude is so much more agreeable, and I came from VERY rural NY...
