I work tonight, I will check.

Looks like they're Dick's too.

We are in total agreement on this. I have about all I think I'll reasonably need in my lifetime, but it is still disheartening to see all the PC BS that has intruded into all aspects of our lives now. Retailers are getting pressured by public opinion polls, people supposedly representing "large numbers" of concerned citizens, and of course the thumb twisting in the board rooms by the feds. It is exasperating.

So the response was better than expected? Good for TGO!

I have to agree with you there. Ha. Well worth the shop hours figuring this thing out. They finally arrived

I have the pistol variant with Sig brace. Love it so far.

I'm not trying to explain it....just stating an opinion.

Time will tell I suppose. It's probably not a deal breaker for me, but it sure gives me heartburn.

That's great news for the LGS though

Really? Staying politically relevant? You gotta quit reading Huffpo. :-)

In a way I think the willingness to change one's position based on further information is a sign of intelligence. As long as it's based on information rather than the wind I'm ok with it. When I was young I thought I was a democrat. Would I be more acceptable here if I had remained so? I don't respect anyone who digs in their heels and gives no heed to new facts as they arise. Given his being a New Yorker and their long history of being anti-gun, I wouldn't expect him to be pro-2nd his entire life. People like Kasich, on the other hand, are a different matter. He can state how pro-2nd he is but his actions demonstrate otherwise.

We're ordering a BUNCH of these things it looks like. I will turn the order in to the supplier this weekend and we'll just have to see what they say the turnaround is going to be. I hope the turnaround is quick, but it will depend on how many engraving systems they have I'm sure.

Here ya go after 8 hrs , I figured in this time of crappy news of shootings we could all use some good ole pictures of homemade BBQ pork .

From what I was told tonight they did this after sandy hook too. Took guns down and put them under the shelf for about 10 days and then put them back up. Like I said earlier no one heard anything about the ammo issue. For what it's worth no one at the store level was pleased with the decision, the manager was Pissed.

OK. That puts them at about 98 on the Fudd meter. Piss on 'em.

I have the large larue bag and couldn't be happier with it. built like a tank and made in 'merica. I used to carry 2 bags....one for guns and gear and the other for ammo. this handles both and I can carry 6 pistols in the side pockets if I need to. the website says 4 but the way the side pockets are set up there is room for 3 on each side. http://www.larue.com/larue-range-bag

No ammo registration from what I was told Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Howdy Dallas and Welcome to TGO

If they are really pulling this crap they can kiss my Petunias.....I have no need for politically correct left leaning establishments.

Good grief!!! I didn't even get that far down in the article. Screw them!!!

Unfortunately I don't shoot as much as I want to now, because I want plenty of ammo on hand for when I have to...hard times.

It's a deal, they bundle them for the equivalent low internet price point on each. Saves shopping time, single transaction for two -> feel good buying environment and encourages the purchase of ammo and accessories for 2 totally different firearms. Not too shabby and still a good deal if you're in the market. I've shot the Taurus, surprisingly nice little pistol.

I hope it's a false rumor, because I like shopping at Academy. If it's not I hope they lose so many customers that no retailer ever mixes political decisions with business decisions EVER again.

I don't think anyone needs to incite panic buying. Hillary Clinton is going to be the Democratic nominee (and likely next president, sadly) so panic buying is going to happen. Encouraging people to get ahead of the panic buying while there is still time is a 'public service announcement' to my mind - not that most folks on here should need it.

Yep. And you're getting a pistol that can be had all day for $200 and a revolver that can be had all day for $120 for a total of $300. Wow, what a deal.

We don't associate with criminals

I feel like I should be a part of this conversation somehow. Yet I'm not.

The bald dude with the beard seems to know what's going on.

I'd pretty much present my case that I had a defective product I wanted warranty repair service done on and I expected them to send me a pre-paid shipping label. This can be done via e-mail and isn't a big deal. It would then be on you to properly package the firearm and take it to the shipping location. If you fail to receive satisfaction ask to speak with a supervisor. Should the supervisor fail to be accommodating to this simple request I'd advise said supervisor its become a topic of interest in a regional gun forum. Even better if its posted in some other forums.

You can bet your ass that the NRA boys had a serious talk with him. He had to make them believe to win their strong support. I have some faith that they are not easily fooled.

He's never mentioned making deals and the 2nd in the context of each other. I think you are trying too hard to make a connection between the two.

Call 'em back. A different CS rep may have a totally different attitude. If not, ask to speak to a supervisor. If they're still unco-operative, raise 14 kinds of hell with them. They have to hear the wheel squeaking before they'll grease it.

That's good news. I'm just now seeing this so I am a little late to the party. We've all joked and rolled our eyes at a 'zombie apocalypse' but a drug with this kind of effect that had lasting results...well, it speaks for itself. Ya'll be safe out there.

Man... loving the old school pit... I have a hankerin to smoke a whole hog. Not sure I'm ambitious enough to do it on July 4th in the heat but this fall I'm going to build a pit out at the property and camp out and smoke one... I just took down a bunch of hickory trees to clear an area for my septic. I think I will go ahead and chop some and split it to get it ready for this fall... Mark

Words of wisdom..all of them.

You have wisdom. In my case, a lower averages a week or less before I can shoot it.

Good friend of my son uses the rolling Travel Golf bag. Worked good when he lived in an apartment going to and from his truck. Held several long guns and a bunch of handguns and ammo. The neighbor just thought he liked to golf.

Less than a month away! Hope everyone's ready.

The problem is the left and that old skank have law abiding gun owners included in the same group as that evil POS that just killed 49 people. She wants us to suffer cause we own those evil black rifles.

I'd characterize her as a boil; not a blister.

If anybody needs a Toyota with surface to air missiles, I know where one is.... Forgot to mention, it also has a train horn.

I like that, good description "Hillary Clinton, a blister on the ass of America"

Always wanted to get into smoking meat. Nice looking pit. I grilled some today and fried chicken in lard & a cast iron skillet over a gas flame like grandma used to. The electric stove in the house sucks for that. Thank goodness my grill has a nice eye on the side. Lard rules. Makes good biscuits too. Chicken, biscuits and Miller. Every day should be Sunday.

If you drive a Land Rover you would have the help pick that stuff up.

Click on this link and see what the bettors are saying. THis changes all the time but lately Hillary is creeping further up while Donald keeps falling further down. https://electionbettingodds.com/
