Leaving this his here so I can start checking off the squares

This old Sergeant Major is on his last day of forty years of service. It's been a love/hate relationship. LOL. I have had the greatest job is the world, taking care of Soldiers. Sent from my BLU LIFE ONE X using Tapatalk

Major props to all parties in this video. Civilized people being civilized. If only everyone could be this way.

Doing pretty okay. Got a little lease for the cows to run on, bought some new tires for the plow truck. Probably push the cows down out of the mountains in a couple of weeks to winter them nearer the house. Hoping to rebuild a 1937 model Caterpillar this winter, may start on it as soon as this weekend. I need to grade our 5 miles of dirt road out to the highway though, so the Cat may still be a week or two out. It does become a circular argument. We say these laws shouldn't exist, others say they should because the government made them. It's brought on by different world views, and often leaves me wondering if it's even worth debating. It's not, but sometimes I just can't help it.

The sheepdogs are not amused......

He's not completely worthless, he can always be used as a bad example.

Or.... Don't ride like a dumbass and you won't get pulled over in the first place.

I have shot several hundred rounds of 124gr Aguilla 9mm and it seemed like quality stuff.

Yeah, at 1:40, as the officer was coming up to him, the rider said, "can you take it from me?" The officer taking it was more than likely going to happen anyway since I can't see an officer letting the biker be the one to hand it to him. Immediately after, the officer says "that's the only reason I'm going to take it, is because I see it," which leads me to believe it was his intent from the get go. But I'm not arguing the officer handled taking the gun away in a bad manner. The other "biker with a gun" video we had a while back shows how this officer got it right in regards to tactics and technique. Still, disarming a citizen "just because" isn't I would consider kosher with the intent of the 2nd Amendment. Unfortunately, with this issue, we're talking about an institutional mindset which takes some effort to change.

I'm not sure I've ever shot Aguilla center fire ammo, but I have shot a lot of their rimfire. They make good rimfire ammo.

Thats the one but at this point is kind of moot. None of us will be persuaded to change our minds. Kind of typical of a bunch of alpha types. That is one of the things that makes it good on the forums. We can all agree to disagree and still hoist a beer. If it is still legal that is. LOL

I was in Rural King last night and they had some S&B FMJs for $17.99. That's they cheapest I've seen, I will go back next week and pick up a box or two. Harvey's had Aguilla, but I'm not familiar with that brand. Have you ran this brand through yourP32? It was the same price as the Winchester. Academy carried Fiocchi and Remington FMJs at $24.99.

That's not fair. I believe that he has also done a hell of a job helping to set race relations back by decades.

Glad ta hear it brother... It takes gumption to act on your "deeply held" beliefs... Good luck to ya...! By the way... RE: "... The 37 Caterpillar rebuild"... I love these things... Send us some photos and let us know whats happenin from time to time... Good luck... admirin leroy....

This is good stuff... Reason, logic, appeals to good sense, nor citation of "norms for civilization" seem to be workin here for some of our "free thinkin" and libertarian brothers... That makes me a bit sad; i wuz hopin for better... This ain't about debate or discussion of what ought to be legal, how much freedom ya ought to have as an individual, or any of these other things... It's about bein the smartest guy in the room, and being free to be completely free... It is, in essence, being your own being... Some call it being "god" with a small "g"... It's all about you as the individual who is instantaneously right... When you are "god", you are automatically the smartest being in the universe... You that have these tendencies might need ta think about that a bit... Ya might also need to know that some of us dont see ya that way... We see ya as just another mule out here plowin in the field with the rest of us... I gotta tell ya who keep beatin this point to death; goin around is a big circle is called a "circular arguement"; it aint very "godlike"...... It's easy to spot and a poor way to win a debate on pure points... You that keep sayin the same thing over and over aint lookin too smart to my way of thinkin; but that's just me... Here is the truth of the matter.... If you interact in society, there are gonna be some restraints on your personal behaviors and preferences that you do not like... We can quibble about changing these restraints, laws, and rules; but there will be, inevitably, some that the individual does not agree with... Such seems to be the case here... "Society" (...whoever that is...) sets rules and laws... Cross 'em... Get dinged, or, in this case; get killed... More than that, no one is gonna come to you and ask your opinion of whether those involved in any action meets your approval... The brutal truth is, sometimes you get over ruled... That's a problem with the "god" thing... Who could imagine "god" being overruled? If ya don't like the rules, and don't like not bein asked to adjudicate every action; i would suggest movin up on the hill and bein a recluse... That way, ya can set your own rules (..to a point...) and adjudicate any actions that happen up there if ya have the horsepower to enforce those adjudications... If you are a real "freedom jhadist", go out in the bush in africa or south america and start your own place and make your own rules... The only caveat i have with this one is that ya better be pretty damned tough... There might be some aboriginal folks out there who are pretty tough and have their own ideas about rules... Have fun in your new place and send us some notes from nirvanna from time to time to let us plebians know how it's goin... leroy

Oh I'd long since realized several of you were radical anarchists, you might look at Somalia and see how well that's worked out for them. As to the actions leading up to the incident you continue to insist was just some guy who wasn't doing anything because there wasn't a victim of a crime. Well, first of all your more interested in proving your point then accepting that the observance of the infraction or violation(s) led to the contact. How about you get caught driving while impaired. Say its an empty highway with no other traffic aside from the police officer who sees you weaving about and all over the place. You get stopped, fail field sobriety tests and are arrested, subsequently you either fail a blood alcohol test or refuse to take it and are charged with an implied consent violation. Guess what your going to find out. The community as a whole is the victim. Your argument that none of this should have happened because it shouldn't be against the law to smoke weed or be in possession of a firearm while smoking weed is specious at best. As for ex-cons who've been convicted for violent felonies being in possession of firearms being alright. I actually hope your never the victim of a violent crime or have a family member victimized by a career criminal.

I'd say your did right well there. Congratulations!

This thread reminds me of this cartoon: The argument here is NOT whether something should be illegal or not, it is whether this was a good shoot or not. Many, I included, think that some laws should be looked into, some are just not relative to their objective anymore. But they are the law; we can rebel and refuse to follow any law we choose but must accept the consequences of said action. Just like telling your wife that yes, that dress makes her butt look big, it may be the truth but you know there will be consequences. You can argue the point with her all week long, but that won't get you anywhere. Or as in this case, you can tell her that no, the dress doesn't make her butt look big, her big butt makes the dress look huge...yea, that is the extreme of what happened here. Instead of him laying down his weapon and arguing that a blunt should not be illegal, he refused and suffered the extreme circumstances of his decision.

So, you are endorsing anarchy or what? This fella was shot because he was a fool; not because he was black or Jewish.

The ironic thing is that there are those who support him and/or his party that buy guns too...in fear that he and/or his party might make it so that they may not be able to get them later.....

LOL. The good news is that Hinderer seems to be meeting demand a lot better for a price that's worth it. Won't be my last one.

Shoot those Silver Tips and make sure you don't get rimlock. I shot some Silver Tips I have had on the shelf a couple of weeks ago and I had quite a few malfs. Switched over to JSPs and nary an issue. http://www.1bad69.com/keltec/rimlock.htm If you think you need to carry .32 ACP JHPs you need to build the spacer. I would recommend just using JSPs. http://www.realguns.com/articles/251.htm I've shot a lot of .32 ACP ammo through P32s and found no JHP worth mentioning. But S&B or Fiocchi JSP works reliably. I don't want to get shot by either 3 or 4 times. I basically never pull the trigger just once with the P32 unless I am dorking around trying to hit 25 yrd targets which isn't hard with either hand one handed. I never even carry the P32 on the "strong side." I'm so used to shooting it left handed one hand it feels kind of weird in my right hand. I never shoot it two handed.

And that is where E would chime in and tell you how simply being a police officer has made you the bad guy. I'm not on the same level that he is, but I do think it is the responsibility of every officer, just as it is the responsibility of every of every one of us to decide, is what that person doing so egregious that it warrants the use of force up to and including taking that person's life? If you wouldn't say yes as a regular person, why are you okay with giving that power to the state's enforcers? There is no crime until after it is been committed. Otherwise, we end up living in the minority report world where just thinking it makes you a criminal.

Thanks for the kind words.

I think you must have missed my subsequent post where I stated: "As I said, I am not necessarily supporting the dead dude. I was simply wondering about the justification for initiating contact. If, indeed, he was seen rolling a joint and if somehow the observer could tell that it was, indeed, a joint and not a hand-rolled tobacco cigarette and he was, indeed, observed with a gun then absolutely that justified initiating contact. At that point, not dropping the firearm justified the shooting. If that is/was the case then I agree - move along, nothing to see, here." My questions were: Given that the police could not possibly have known that the individual was a felon nor that he was having 'mental issues' at the time of contact - meaning that his being a felon or having mental problems could have had no bearing at the time, 1. Did the police know, before initiating contact, that it was a joint he was smoking and not a completely legal tobacco cigarette? 2. Did the police know, before initiating contact, that he had a gun? 3. If the answer to #1 and #2 were 'no' then what was the justification for initiating contact in the first place? As Omega indicated that another article stated that the police (somehow) did know these things before initiating contact I agreed that there was nothing really questionable about the actions taken by the officers. I simply never take anything police say at face value. This is not because of some 'unfounded' hatred of police. This is due to experiences I have had. Yes, I - who have no police record, have never smoked pot (no, seriously) and have never been in any legal trouble beyond one or two traffic violations have been unjustly pulled over and treated like a low-life criminal by police on more than one occasion in more than one jurisdiction. 1. One evening, after dark, a cop rode a few feet from my bumper with his bright lights on. This made it difficult for me to see and created an unsafe driving situation. When I swerved a little - because I couldn't see - he pulled me over, "because you were swerving a little back there." He then proceeded to say to my friend who was in the vehicle with me (who has also never been in any kind of trouble,) "Didn't I arrest you last week?" He had nothing with which to charge us and had to let us go (and obviously wasn't happy about it.) 2. A few years later a different cop also rode just off of my rear bumper causing the same situation and pulled me over for the same bs reason. His first words to me were, "Didn't I give you a ticket two nights ago?" My response, "Well, that would have been kind of hard seeing as how I am just returning home from a cruise and I was on a Caribbean Island two nights ago." He had nothing with which to charge me and had to let me go (and obviously wasn't happy about it.) 3. When I attended UTK and lived at my grandmother's on East Fifth through the week a cop pulled me over. He claimed he was pulling me over because I had a tail light out. Curiously, he did not issue a citation or even a warning to fix any, such light and it never came up again after he mentioned it initially. I checked when I got home - as suspected, I did not have a tail light out. He had no legal reason to cite for pulling me over and his real reason was to ask, "What are you doing in this neighborhood?" Yes, I have been pulled over for driving while white. I won't drag this on by citing at least two, other similar instances when I have been pulled over literally for nothing with the only 'probable cause' being things that the cop purposefully created or just flat made up. Suffice it to say that at this point in my life whenever I hear of a police run in where the probable cause sounds a bit suspicious I don't simply and immediately assume that was how things really happened. Some cops do lie. I've experienced it. Strangely, the two times I have been pulled over and given a ticket for speeding (and I admittedly was) those officers were professional and courteous. In other words, I came away from interactions when I actually received a ticket with a more positive perception of police than in the multiple occasions when I was pulled over and didn't receive a citation (because they had no justifiable reason to pull me over in the first place, much less cite me for anything.)

Gotta love the 19.

I'm just not understanding why you made this seem like such a big deal. I didn't realize we were all dying for another compact polymer pistol option.... As if the market wasn't already flooded. I don't think people will be lining up to buy this gun. Maybe if it were priced closer to $300 it would have some advantage over the 25 competing guns already available.

I'm a fan or Ruger but I don't understand what you mean by "Ruger did it"... What exactly did they do? I'm not seeing anything groundbreaking or unique here. How is this a big improvement from the SR9C?

I've had it with Tapatalk!!! Three hours spent tonight trying to pull the server back under control while that piece of #### software was hammering the CPU. I've completely deleted it from the server at this point. I really hope that those of you who rely on it so heavily will just give the native IPBoard mobile skin a try. As much as I hate to lose a few members over Tapatalk, I can't lose the whole forum because of it. Sorry.

Then there's that sinking feeling you get when a Hi-Point actually performed better than your M&P :troll: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've had this video posted up to watch for a few days now. Finally go to it. Nice work! Just starting the 6.5 journey here. Best to you!

Ummmmm.... lets just say I TOTALLY AGREE with your sentiment, however I've seen the wife's video, and somewhere's between the 2nd and 9th time the cop said "DROP THE GUN", I would have complied, obviating the need for the officer to discharge his firearm. Just sayin.. - K

Don't do stupid stuff Don't hang around stupid people Don't go to stupid places Boring, but more than likely you won't get shot

I have a snapped one in my junk drawer. Yeah your probably right about it being soft if it bent forward from stopping the bolts forward momentum. Call PSA and they may well already know of the bad batch and just send you out a new one.

So I just saw this while cruising Instagram. I had to share it. Once I found out who it was made by, I went to Google because I was going to see about buying one for Monkey. Then I found the website and found out Monkey's not getting one. LOL The currency is not American and there's 5 digits to most. So yeah, we'll find something else! But I thought this was beautiful and wanted to share. It's called "Son of a Gun" and it's by ArtyA Watches.

Yeah...those are nice. But you ruined my fantasy.

Nice cans.
