  C'mon,  get real.   People all over the world mostly profess the religion in which they were raised.  If the whole population of TGO had been magically raised by Muslim parents in a Muslim culture, we'd be at least 90% Muslim too.   Transplant all them same folks over there to the USA as babes and have them raised by Christian parents, they'd be mostly Christian.   In cultures all over the world, denying the religion you are raised in is the exception rather than the norm. Where of course the religion is virtually the same as the state, it's near 100%. Much of Europe was that way regarding Catholicism for 1200 years or so.   - OS

This thread is a great example of why the far left lumps us all together as a bunch of racist, ignorant rednecks.   I have several Iraqi refugees that work for me at my plant. All of them are Christians that fled Iraq to get away from the violence there. Unfortunately, many of their family members are still stuck there unable to leave. Their parents were killed by a suicide bomber the day they tried to leave Iraq.  There are good people in Iraq that do not deserve to be swept away by a raging flood.

The Senate voted today: House earlier in the week, they join the ranks of Constitutional Carry States!

  ... especially when the reverend Abdul is telling everybody to lop off your head if you don't join up.   I don't think anybody on here wants to see innocents die. The jokes are in the same spirit as the ones about California sliding into the ocean. I have good friends in California. But, if it breaks off and slides into the ocean, the percentage of assholes in this country will decrease significally (tragic as it would be).

As usual, I got to go with OS on this one.     There are two issues with Islam - radicalism and the fundamental association with Sharia law.  If you want to practice your faith, accept that I have different beliefs, and adhere to our laws - I have no issues.  You want to call me an infidel and come after me and my family, totally different story.     I grew up in a community, in Middle, TN, that had two fairly prominent Muslim families.  Their children attended a Christian school because it was the best education available, but they continued to practice their religion.  We didn't always agree on some topics, but we could debate and accept the other's opinions.     One of the children came under fire a couple of years ago when they were appointed to a mid level state position, for which they were extremely qualified.  A few of ignorant legislators ran screaming to media that we were "putting sleepers" in high-level positions.  They saw the last name and their knees started to jerk.  This was a natural born US citizen and a member of family that are pillars of their community.  I can understand mild suspicion, but a little research should have put that to rest.     If you look at the statistics from all sides, there are somewhere between .05-10% of Muslims that practice radical Islam and/or refuse to accept any legal authority outside their faith.  I am in position to condemn an entire religion based on at worst 10% of its adherents.  I probably disagree with 30% of my fellow Catholics, but they are entitled to their beliefs.      I have a hard enough time trying keep myself on the track that I think is right for me, I don't have the bandwidth to impose by beliefs on anyone else.  Vive et vivat!

May be a thousand miles away, but a guy has to stay loyal. :) I'm actually surprised, there are a lot more Preds fans here than I expected.

  Certainly not trying to talk anyone out of what they like.   For me, just can't imagine any improvement over my Kahr PM9. About as small as any 9mm made with its capacity, all smooth contours, no safeties,  simply pull it out and pull the trigger. Even a J frame feels like a thick slab to me by comparison, plus I get 2 extra rounds and quick reload. And it's not a .380 either. ;)   - OS

That's my boys! Tn could do the same, but not by sitting on our hands.

This has got to be the stupidest thing I've read in a while. Looks like to bomb squad just wanted something to do. I've found old ammo in the past. I disposed of it by putting it in my rifle and firing it...

These new mags from Fab Defense were just announced at SHOT show. I ordered one and it shipped direct from Israel. It finally got in today. Haven't shot it yet but seems very well constructed. I was very glad to see this come along as the surplus mags are drying up/getting more expensive. I'll post another update once I get out and shoot with it. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

As a native West Virginian, definitely proud of this. My parents are aging and have been dragging their feet on getting permitted. Now they can just defend themselves without spending money they don't have for "training" that's irrelevant to get a state issued card.

I actually enjoyed this movie, but I did watch it on tv and it didn't cost nuthin.

Just wanted to share a video that is cool IMO. Take the music from my favorite movie series - Jason Bourne Series and add it to some wickedly fast riding on the streets of the Isle of Man and you have a win. Keeping the bike under control while topping the hills at those speeds is impressive. Hope maybe even you Harley guys can enjoy.

  They do indeed sell primers and they really need to put them behind the counter.  The last three times I've been there I've seen enough foolishness to make me wary of buying them.  People just can't seem to keep from opening them.  First was some girl who dumped 100 primers all over the shelf and floor.  Took her forever to pic them up and put them back in the tray.  Next time, same story but someone else.  Last time some guy rifled through nearly every pack on the shelf.  I don't know if he was looking for the perfect primer or what but he sure was trying.   There is a gun show this weekend.  TGO's favorite reloading supplier (dlm37015) is probably there and usually has what you need at very good prices.  His booth is under the big white with red letters "RELOADING SUPPLIES" sign.  As the show is at the Expo he'll be in the back right corner.

An NAGR fund raising tool, standard Dudley Brown method to get your email address, to then send you "emergency" request for money.

So just real quick, a huge THANKS to TripleDigitRide! He's shared our story on all of his groups he belongs to. Because of that I met a young lady named Kacy who donated money as well as asked about adopting a pup. We've met, she's got an amazing GSD that needed a playmate and she came out today and adopted Ressler! Contracts are sign, a fully vetted puppy has a new home. So again, major thanks to TDR and the power of Social Media! We still have more pups available if anyone is looking!

I would love to see manufacturers start holding the Gov accountable for the price of stuff. Something along the lines of a note on the label that says something like "$0.35 of this can of tuna goes to cover government regulation" or $0.65 of each gallon of this gas goes to tax". or at the very least one of those square barcode link things that could take you to a web site with current info. I think it would open up the eyes of some consumers.   Of course the next thing that would happen is a law prohibiting that practice.  :tinfoil:

I can honestly say I feel fantastic. But I think that's largely due to the Percocets while I feel good enough to shoot I think it's not in the best interest of safety. Percocet rule!

Smile for the camera while you're there too. :stir:

When I was younger my Uncle took me to the Isle of Man TT. He was a Privateer that ran a John Player Norton. It was a great and special trip for me one of my favorite memories. They have talked about canceling this race for years due to the wrecks. Thanks for sharing it. It made me go get my pictures out . It was over 40 years ago.

UPDATE... I've spoken with the supplier and we will be going with the 20oz and 30oz RTIC tumblers as they are the most cost effective and are just as nice of quality as the ORCA or the Yeti tumblers. I have pricing, I just need to nail down shipping costs so that we can begin taking pre-orders. I hope to have this done by this Friday so that we can begin taking orders over the weekend. The window for ordering will be two weeks. After two weeks are up, the window will close and I will get them on the way to us.

I found this clip on Facebook today. Pretty cool. I didn't know he was a gun guy. Just thought I'd pass along. https://youtu.be/tpr8oqyjKIc

One of the great benefits of suppressors is they allow you to shoot most anywhere and not disturb anyone. I decided to set up a small indoor range in my basement. I can get to 60 feet, it's heated and cooled, no annual fees, not weather dependent, no snappy range officers, and no one three feet away doing AR or AK mag dumps (not that there's anything wrong with that, just not 3ft away when I'm benching 22lr. I'm shooting into a 22lr bullet trap that I've filled with melted wax from old candles. All I hear is 'thud'. Definitely limited to 22 rifles and really good handgun shots. I also must clean up the brass since I do sleep with the 'range officer':) Perfect for dialing in a scope or testing suppressors. 89 decibels is my best so far. Racking the bolt was 82. Rifle pictured is a Cooper Jackson Squirrel with a Surefire Ryder ss can.

  Depends, are we talking about a Glock or a different brand?

Woohoo!!

Blah! I highly dislike the Avalanche! Let's go Predators!!

The real problem with CA is the elected idiots and the idiots who keep voting for them. Off topic but the drought there has caused some real problems....

Wow, they are flat gettin’ it. That looks dangerous for spectators (and the local sheep).

Watch out for Blazer 45 it has a SPP. I like UMC brass pretty good, Win is my favorite by far Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

  I'm a huge Stealthgear fan, But they are twice the money

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.

I found this pic which has the names of the guys that raised the flag. Note that only three of them left Iwo Jima with their lives and only two were unscathed. What a truly hellish battle. Below are few more Iwo Jima pics. The Marine laying in the sand was no longer alive.

I love a good zombie thread.   I cringe at every wobble and especially at 1:30 everytime I watch this.    I like this one too, the camera work sucks but the music is cool...plus there a cool segment of POV footage around 1:25.   [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnZkb1yvFgM[/media]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAqxWa9Rbe0   Well somebody had to do it!  :hat:

It's done, thanks all .....

I use a Fury Appendix series, but I wear it at 4 o'clock most often. I like that it's low profile, tuckable, and has adjustable ride height. Fury makes great stuff. www.furyholsters.com

GL with your "expedition",  maybe those hogs are like 'yotes, learn quick.  

To be fair to Hersh, I got a little excited myself when I saw that. Never noticed it was from 2012.

A man should have a title. :rofl:

This thread is disgusting.

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.

I meant for a given range with .308win, the blackout will have the same amount of drop 275 yards closer. So max effective range is 1000 for .308, then it's 725 for blackout. I read an article of someone(TTAG?) using a 16" blackout carbine and consistently making hits on steel at 1000 yards with 123gr FMJ. It can be done. Blackout isn't worthless or immediately ineffective after 200yards. It's a great little round and not just a one trick pony. It's actually quite versatile.

How many people in this state have been charged with that? The best thing that could happen would be constitutional carry. Other states have it I see no reason it couldn’t happen here.

  Yep.  Chances are so's the device you're posting to TGO on, though.  ;)

Not a fan of 380, I would recommend 9mm anyday.
