  1. I have said it for years that "we" will do things out of spite like refuse to vote and now threaten to vote for Hillary if their chosen candidate isn't the nominee. People like that are not friends of the gun community or even a conservative. I HATE Trump and would prefer Cruz but I will not do ANYTHING to help Hillary get into office because she is worse for me, and the country, than Trump ever will be. Some do not realize that or do not care about the ramifications.

  3. Wow..that is rather uncouth..If you don't like him,cool..he wasn't my cup of tea either but none here hold him up on a pedestal, I am sure....he was simply a good musician.Just like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Elvis, David Bowie and a host of others. It doesn't matter what he imbibed, used,shot up or snorted.That didn't affect your world  or mine..what did affect us,was his music ...Can we leave it at that? Lots of people liked him no need to be an ass about it......I could say the same thing about people who worship a deity in the sky, but I am not  so close minded to dismiss that ,because other people have faith it that. Jimmy Hendrix and Little Wing... Stevie Ray Vaughan an VodooChile( slight return)is pure sex.... To bad they are all gone..sad..   And a real dick thing to do is to crapp on a threat that was otherwise nice.

  5. You guys are only trying to convince yourselves if you think Trump is a pro gun conservative. I can't even stomach the election anymore.

  7. Its fascinating to me that liberals will refuse to accept scotus rulings they do not like (ie McDonald vs City of Chicago) but ones they like are sacrosanct and forever unchangeble (ie Roe v Wade)

  9. Chelsea Clinton: Now that Scalia’s Gone We Can Enact Gun Control https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tN1BzLBmxI It's clear Clinton and Sanders will stack the Supreme Court with Anti-Constitutionalist Judicial Activists. Vote accordingly or your constitutional rights will suffer greatly.

  10. Today I took a few minutes to try a few tasks with the bushcraft knife I commissioned from GT a few weeks ago. I didn't put it through brutal tasks, but did try some basic ones that I expect a knife to do if I'm going to carry it. First, the knife is made from 1095 steel that my calipers measure as 0.155 inches thick. Blade length is approximately 5 inches and OAL is about 10.5 inches. The scales are mesquite (I'm sure GT will correct me if I am wrong) and I asked him to include jimping on the top of the blade as well as the extension beyond the handle. The knife came with a nice sharp edge, but me being me, I worked on it a bit and got it where I wanted it. I started the test by cutting some paper to show the edge quality. First thing I did was take some red oak firewood I have and split a couple of pieces off using another piece of oak as a baton. The knife easily made fast work of the splitting thanks to the thickness of the blade and the flat grind. The blade took the force of the baton strikes just fine and the tip and handle were not damaged. Next, I took one of the pieces I split and did some shavings as you would do on a feather stick. The knife edge was still very sharp and I had no difficulty. I also used the edge of the spine to scrape some wood from the piece as one would do to make tinder. Next, to test the tip, I used the blade to drill a divot in the oak. This was an easy task and the tip held up without any damage. I have tested the blade spine on a ferro rod previously and it is excellent for this task. After these tasks, I wanted to see how the edge had held up and I used the same sheet of paper to test the cut. I also tried a cut on a piece of soft bread, which my dog appreciated since she got to eat the results. Needless to say, the edge was still extremely sharp and it only took a couple of swipes on my leather strop to get it back to razor sharp. If I had some natural fiber rope I would have tried that, but I'm confident the results would have been positive. I am still thrilled with this knife and look forward to many years of enjoying it in the woods on my outdoor adventures. If you've ever considered one of GT's knives, just do it already! You won't regret it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  11. Just to brighten up your Friday afternoon, it's really encouraging to see a judge with some empathy.  I appreciated his comments about how "sometimes they lose their way", but still recognizes their humanity:   http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/concerned_about_veteran_with_ptsd_judge_orders_him_to_jail_and_serves_the_t

  14.   I'm the odd man out in thinking that both cases were the right call, but it doesn't make a difference in the end results...both were SCOTUS decisions that a large part of the country disagrees with based on their personal politics.   Also, both could be changed if the court takes a case that opens either back up, much as Heller took on established law at the time.   I'm just saying that conservatives have their own hypocrisy in liking/hating SCOTUS verdicts same as liberals.

  15. I will vote for who ever gets the nod on the Republican side.  I have learned a lot over the past month and it almost seems like our votes don't amount to a hill of beans anyway. Trump has gotten at least 3 mllion more votes than Cruz but still can't break that 50% level??????????? and all the back room deals going on with delegates makes me wonder just what is really going on??????? I bet if Trump goes to the convention with an even close number to what he needs and they do not give him the nod there will be riots in the streets across this country................jmho

  17. +1 Dolo...very fishy indeed.   And Yes JohnC..."we" can be our own worst enemies at times.   While I am not advocating "hoarding" nor inciting "panic buying", now might just well be a good time to consider what "you" will need in terms of shooting for the foreseeable future.   Change, and not the good kind, seems inevitable.

  23. Well, it's finally here. Took almost a year and a half but I have my new double rifle in my hot little hands. She's a bespoke double built specifically for me by L'Atelier Verney Carron. Azur model in .450-400 Nitro Express. She handles like a dream. I can close my eyes and shoulder the rifle... when I open them the sights are perfectly aligned. The balance on this thing is unbelievable and makes this 9.6lb rifle feel much lighter than it is. Of course all this quality comes at a steep price... this is by far the most expensive weapon I've ever purchased and the only way I pulled it off is with the help of TGO. I joke that in order to afford her I had to sell every gun I own that doesn't have a name and while that's an exaggeration it's only because I don't name my handguns. So, if you've bought a gun from me in the last year and a half... thank you... you helped pay for this bad girl. Oleg Volk did a photo shoot with her and you'll find some of the photos below. These are unretouched studio shots so there are a few studio artifacts that will be removed before they are published, but I just couldn't wait to show her off. Enjoy and thanks again to everyone who helped me make this happen.

  25. I was sorry to hear about his passing but sometimes fame and fortune will end up killing a person at a young age. As far as a guitar player, yep, I did rank him right up there with Eddie Van Halen and Jimmie Hendricks but Hendricks is and was always my favorite. I got to see him perform at the original Wood Stock along with Janice Joplin and after that all my dreams of rock n roll were fulfilled................RIP Prince

  27. Too beautiful to shoot... almost. Congrats. A couple of questions out of my I ignorance. When it is sighed in, do you "split the middle" of both POI's? Are there other benefits of a double rifle than being able to get off a follow up shot quicker than a bolt gun? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

  36. Although not a great fan, I could appreciate the talent that was Prince. And as TrickyNicky says...the man could make that guitar sit and scream.   As for the drugs and other issues, while I didn't agree with any of them personally; it all seems to go along with the gifted and greatly talented musicians.   Don't really understand it.

  41. Personally I'm tired of the PC, give this woman her own bill or coin but don't replace Jackson. History is what it is, deal with it and quit trying to erase what has been done. When the left finds out this woman was a strong 2nd Admend. supporter it may not happen at all.

  42. Ive long thought that Jackson was a poor representative.   Franklin is great, and I hated when they replaced him with kennedy (coin).  Tubman is fine ... she was a heroine, tough and brave.  Much better than some of the other contenders... we are lucky it isn't obama or some other half wit.     Best as I can tell, Jackson was a war hero but also a SOB.
