Yes, it's full auto. :) Figured it might as well get its own case, too.

The bail was $62,000, but the highest Rick Harrison was willing to go was $250.   :D

than to play with her food. smh

The best pic to me is the very last one. That dog is mighty happy. I'm figuring that the elephant really likes the dog as he could easily make him go away

I remember the word's of my wife's doctor, "When you have a boy you only have to worry about one penis.  When you have a girl you have to worry about all of them."

Don't worry. It's got brothers and sisters.

I had 2 daughters and I can tell you, it can get ugly. They are grown and on their own now, but those teen years will make you old before your time.

Keep 2 sets of clothes.

Actually I think it is awesome.  No, I am not joking.  I'd own one (not sure I'd pay $200 for it, though.)  I'd never carry it nor put it in my HD plan, etc. (I'd have no problem with a well tested, standard finished Hi Point as a 'stash' gun somewhere in the house - they shoot better than some might think) but as a fun gun I think it would be great.  Of course, I like sarcastic and ironic humor and there is definitely something ironically and sarcastically funny about a $100 bill finish pattern on a Hi-Point - and that is why I like it.  Imagine being at the range, pulling that out and saying to the stranger next to you (who would definitely be eyeballing it), "This here's my baby.  Total safe queen but I have to get her out and give her some lovin' every once in a while," and doing it with a totally straight face (before cracking up and letting them in on the joke.)

My first police academy range instruction was in 1979, taught by an old guy who had to be in his 70's then. We worked only on J-frame S&W's. Range safety was not only paramount, if you f***ed up, you were out. Period. No second chances. You tended to pay attention.   The ONLY way a weapon would EVER be transferred to another person was --- cylinder emptied;2nd & 3rd finger through the cylinder opening; grip first toward the recipient. Even today, by force of habit, I point it downwards, pop the magazine, empty the chamber, turn it around, and hand it grip-first with the slide locked open. Younger guys sort of look at me with a question in their eyes. Older guys just look, and sort of get this look on their face like, "man, you WERE taught right, weren't you ?????".   God bless you, Okie Miles (RIP).

A person could wrap a HiPoint in ACTUAL $100 bills and it STILL wouldn't be worth $200. :/

WWF fired its leaders after somebody dropped a dime on their spending habits. Apparently they were spending 40% of income on overhead. It will be good if that money can go where it was intended, rather than being used for expensive "conferences" at resorts.

Hold it, hold it, hold it! How do you know it's not the elephant that has its very own dog?

  Because he was able to manage both at the same time?

  If he really was that dumb and lazy he couldn't hold a job anywhere. Of course there's been a lot of celebrities or athletes who get some fame, make some money then think they can do anything they want. I doubt if any of them are at that store except when they film the staged reality show. I don't know why they still call them reality shows, I guess about 10% is reality, the other is WWE wrestling.

I've always dreamed of being of being able to shoot lasers from my eyes to catch on fire the clothes of folks that are irritating me.  I see this dream may become a reality in just a few short years.   :pleased:

Doesn't matter, it's still our fault and we should be penalized for it!!!!!

Every one will enjoy their fuel mileage more if they would remove the Ethanol from the fuel. It has been proven that 100% pure gas improved fuel mileage by 15 to 25%  depending on the vehicle. That is why you have to stop and purchase fuel more often with Ethanol fuel......... :mad:

I was just thinking about how big of a step you'd have on the next guy if you had to draw this as a weapon. Think about how long a persons mind would take to register... "what in the F did he just pull out?" By the time they realized(if ever) what it was, it'd be over!  :angel:

I love stories with happy endings.

The problem with Macs is that they are stupid expensive. I just looked at Best Buy. The cheapest Mac laptop was $899 with many going into the $2,000-$3,000 range. The one I would probably want is about $1,300. Are you kidding me? I can buy a Dell, ASUS, or HP for $350 or less... maybe up to a $100 at the annual sales or on Dell's outlet website. Then, I can download all the free software I need: LibreOffice. Every two years, I can toss my laptop and upgrade to a newer version. My 17.1 inch HP that I'm typing this on was $250. My wife's new Dell was $250. My 13.1 inch Chromebook I use when flying was $165. That's $665, plus another $550 for my Sig Sauer anti-theft device comes to only $1,215.   Granted, my laptops are a little heavier than a MacBook Air, but I've been working out... :biglol:  

Glock 20 Gen 4. 10mm will destroy villages, pillage and ravage harlots, kill anything from a Yeti to a M1 Abrams and has longer ranges than most handgun cartridges. Also itll make you grow a beard, jump 100 feet, immune to elemental damage, speak Latin and Ancient Mayan, automatically SMUD RSP Mk84s and increase your reflexes. Also itll automatically disable any felcher with a .40SW as your sheer indomitable will and omnipotence will render them into cuckold girlymen (they already are) and cause them to give you their goods and daugthers (or sons, if youre into that like HiPower is). Then you can become Imperator of Post Apocalyptia and transform into an Eagle that craps 105mm ICMs on the Nemesis Forces like liberals, the French, cav scouts, PETA, .40 owners and LGBT activists. Jesus carried a 10mm, just saying. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

As promised, I made it out to the range this weekend and froze my ass off and got some trigger time for the first time in 2 months. Didn't do too bad at all, and my reloads didn't go boom on me (powder check die FTW!).   If you didn't catch my Steal of the Century - I was able to get a CZ97B and 3 mags for the equivalent of $275 - and contrary to popular belief it wasn't booby trapped, or defective.   Ergonomics - Frame:   - I have decently small hands for a dude, I struggle to have a good grip on my Glock 21 Gen 4 with no back straps, even though it is a double stack, the CZ-97B with wood grips is pretty slim (1.253" vs 1.412" on the Glock 21 Gen 4). - The grip angle is between a Glock and a Sig - it just points very well and feels great in the hand, along with a very aggressive high beavertail to get up on the bore axis and not worry about slide/hammer bite. - The trigger guard has a very sleek undercut as to not break your knuckles and the trigger guard itself is spacious to shoot with gloves (I had to, it was 10 degrees with wind chill). - The weight of the frame is very balanced, for an all-metal gun it does not feel like you are hefting a warhammer. - The safety and slide lock/release are very big and well pronounced - but not to give your support hand any issues. The safety is easily manipulated with the thumb - but the slide release is a bit to far to reach with your firing hand comfortably, the tip of my thumb can hit it but I can't produced the force to quickly release it; bigger handed shooters will not have this problem. - The magazine release, I felt it is a bit on the small side, again I have small hands, but it does not protrude far enough to manipulate easily, especially with gloves. - The slide has standard serrations on the rear, a lot more plentiful and aggressive than a Glock and Sig - so it should not give anyone an issue.   Ergonomics - Trigger:   I am a striker-fired/SAO hammer fired (1911s) guy until I traded for 2 Sigs - and those DA pulls are VERY good. However - the CZ's is better on DA. It is not stagy at all, even given the fact that the hammer can be half-cocked. It has a very beefy (but not nasty looking) smooth faced stainless trigger - and whether you pull with the tip of your finger, or the first knuckle - it fits well and does not slip. I prefer to shoot Single Action, and that break is as crisp as can be. I cannot discern a difference between the SA on a Sig, or CZ - but the CZ has a much more tactile and audible reset than my P220 or P238 do.   Shooting - Feel and Accuracy:   Needless to say, being an all-metal handgun, it absorbs the recoil (what recoil there is) of the .45ACP - it makes follow up shots SO much nicer than say on my Glock 21. Partnered with the high 3-dot night sights my CZ97 has, target acquistion was very easy. The rear sight is adjustable for elevation and it (looks) like the front sight is adjustable for drift/windage. I was shooting 230gr FMJ Blazer, Fiocchi and Winchester White Box and grouping about 2" at 7 yds. Then with my 200gr plated hand loads (Win LPs, 5.7gr Bullseye) I was grouping 1" at 7 yds. I am not the best shot, but the CZ97 makes me seem better than what I am.   Other Features:   There is a small stainless pin that pops up on top of the frame to serve as a loaded chamber indicator, which is very subtle. The grips can be interchanged, and have some sort of springs on the inside to keep the magazine from wobbling around. The feedramp is very polished and steep to assist with chambering. The hammer is skeletonized and serrated - and can be carried in a half-cock position to take a little uptake out of the DA.   I am not the best at reviewing guns - if anyone has any questions or would like to shoot it, just let me know. I will try to get some pictures up when I am able.

:clap: Guns save lives. Thug lives DON'T matter.      

Not sure about the landscaping part, but I would hit up the Amish community for the garage.  They'll have that thing built before you could empty a magazine from your draco.

So that means I've got some money coming my way. Sure hope he got more than 200 buck for it, I would hate to have to kill a red shirt. lol

I know all about climate change. It is climate and it changes!

Fair skinned people unite!

With their fixed barrel they are well regarded in terms of accuracy. Every one I ever encountered ran like a sewing machine as opposed to the Walther PPK. Their magazine release at the heel of the grip reflects their European heritage. There are certainly more appealing "carry packages" nowadays in terms of weight, size and caliber. But, the all stainless steel Sig P230 and P232 with the addition of a nice walnut grip are absolutely beautiful in my book.

If Obama had a son......he'd be packin' one of them! :eek: :no1: :rofl:

Had to do it in Army training. Haven't had the need since. It can be done with time & patience.

Fuel efficient vehicles are boring and communist This is what you really need, no more stuck in traffic or having to use stupid roads....

They are fine good quality primers. I too like Federal, but Winchester is a close second.   That said, we've used quite a few Tula and Wolf (many thousands) without any problems   ...except the friggin' lead free Tulas...I hate lead free primers! LOL...I was shooting some of the LF primer loads today...excellent for malfunction practice. :wall:

So the Honda CRV gets 30mpg, is that not good enough? If not, you either have to get a diesel or a hybrid.  Hell I can't help much I get 13mpg

Works fine for me. I've also had success with Wolf and S&B. I pretty much get whatever is cheapest when I'm ready to buy and haven't had trouble yet.

WOAH!!!!     That's more wrong than a wrong thing that is incorrect.   You can NOT lawfully use lethal force in TN to protect property (including your home). Period. Go Directly To Jail. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect $200.   You can only lawfully use lethal force to defend yourself or others from an attacker if there is reasonable fear of losing one's life or suffering serious bodily injury (or have the same fear for another person).   Read that 39-11-614  statute again. It says you can use force, not lethal force, to protect property and even then only such force as is necessary to stop the theft or trespass . Para ( c ) even expressly says you can't use lethal force unless allowed to under another law, which means protecting yourself or others from death or serious bodily injury. Serious bodily injury is actually defined in the TCA, so you don't get to decide what is and isn't serious bodily injury.   The "castle doctrine" may be what's causing someone to think that lethal force is OK to protect your home. That's an incorrect understanding. Castle doctrine simply says that if the attacker is in your home, you have a presumption of being in fear for your life/serious bodily harm (or the same for another person). That means that away from home you have to prove you were in fear for your life/serious bodily harm or had the same fear for another person if you use lethal force. At home you don't have to prove that, BUT the evidence can prove you were not in fact in fear for your life. If you tie up an intruder and execute him, the evidence will prove that at the time of firing the shot, you were not in fear for your life and you will go to prison for murder. Castle Doctrine is not about protecting your home or your property and it is not a license to kill.

Every time I think about getting a new gun with a better trigger, I hear a story like this. Then, I don't feel so bad carrying an LC9 with a "legendary" trigger and manual safety stuck in in my pants. I figure if people with more experience than me can shoot themselves in the leg or butt, maybe I'll just continue to train with what I have.

How about just eating somewhere that isn't posted instead of supporting businesses that post.  My wife (she's new to Nashville) told me the other day that she had heard that the Loveless Cafe had good biscuits.  I told her that I would never know.

We're gonna lose someone very important soon... I've got a feeling..

NRA has taken up "supporting" the bill, which means they will claim responsibility when it passes, but that is OK with me, as long as it passes.  (West Virginia Senate voted to override their feckless Governor's veto of their Constitutional Carry this morning, their House did earlier in the week, so they join the ranks).  NRA using the bill to "grade" legislators is a big deal in an election year.  The metric has changed. We have the votes in the Senate Committee to get it to the floor, as its current Fiscal statement allows for the sponsor to send it directly to Calendar and Rules, bypassing Finance. We hear someone is going to offer an amendment in the House sub, we are going to let it run if so, we will work it in Conference Committee. For the first time, I actually feel we have a decent chance of passing this.  Representative Mike Carter (Chattanooga) is key, hoping he sees political reality.  Would much rather support friends than fight enemies.

Welcome back to East TN.   Should be cooler here.

Not 371 million of them, 99% of which couldn't grow a garden with starter plants and perfect weather. I'll take a lever gun in .44 mag. Sufficient for pretty much anything on this continent with hand loads. I believe life in a post collapse society will be much less fire fights and much more protecting from occasional looters, with a big dose of hunting, fishing and farming. If you aren't already doing those things, in a sustainable manner, good luck getting started after the collapse. That's why I blacksmith, horse farm, hunt, fish, learned mechanic work, learned construction, etc. Skills, not equipment, will make the difference Sent from behind the anvil

It's easier to switch shoulders with a red-dot / holographic / reflex sight when you can keep both eyes open.

Sit in your bathroom in the dark for a minute or three. Set the light for strobe, point it at the mirror, and light it up.
