So yesterday I found this little fella stuck in the median, he was trying to get off the road but was scared to move because of all the cars zipping by. As soon as I seen him I pulled over and he was able to get off the road. I called to him and he cautiously walked up to me then acted like we were old best friends. I was going to find him a home but as I proofread the advertisement I realized how much of a good boy he really is and by that time he has already weaseled his way into our hearts. I have spent most of my life with "bulldogs" and they tend to be harder to work with but this guy is absolutely amazing in how quickly he is learning. He is the complete opposite of every bulldog puppy I have ever had. Even for being only six months he is extremely well mannered. Spent all night in a crate without so much as a peep all night. Loves praise and is already trying to please us. He listens well for a puppy, all you have to do is tell him "no" once and he stops immediately. Then he comes and sits at our feet waiting for his praise. After 20+ years of bulldogs this dog seems like the Albert Einstein of the canine world. It is hard for us to believe he was not someone else's dog so we have put the word out hoping to find the owners. If we can't find his family then this little guy has hit the doggy lottery. We keep telling ourselves that we are just going to "foster" him until we find him a permanent home but in reality that has probably already happened even though we won't admit it yet. His name is probably going to be Sam.

Thanks goes out to ZoidMeister for hooking me up with a set of 1911 coins in a set of grips for my 1911.

As a member of society, you can be part of the change you want to see within it. I've had a rifle rack in my truck for nearly 3 years now. Strange how those around me went from thinking it was odd to thinking it was normal over time. I've trained the scouts I work with that it OK to have a fire extinguisher, a rifle, and an extremely well stocked FAK in your car/truck as an adult. It's called "being prepared". I just moved the rifle rack to my new truck in fact over the weekend.

No offense, but every time you post it becomes an increasingly more ridiculous arrangement that would make Rube Goldberg shake his head in disbelief. I am a fan of Occam's Razor. If you aren't familiar, it is a problem-solving principle that holds that the solution with the least number of components is the correct one. If you apply it to the completely absurd scenario you're painting for everyone, the most simplistic solution is to avoid it completely. Don't think that I am being inhospitable, but you're a complete newcomer and all seven of your posts to date are about a situation that anyone with common sense wouldn't partake in. I can't decide if we're being trolled, fished or if you're just one of those people who seems relatively intelligent but lacking in the aforementioned common sense. No matter what it is, I'm closing this thread. You should probably seek legal counsel before you do any of the crap you've described to us here. From an attorney, not a deputy or a police officer or the Internet.

They are sissified by design. Demonize firearms and they will be the evil, not socialism. I'd like to see a resurgence in normalcy to include rifle racks in trucks and a society that doesn't have to worry about getting their rifles stolen.

That's a good deal. The bottom has completely fallen out of the black-rifle market thanks to manufacturers betting on the wrong outcome of the 2016 Presidential election. They overstocked expecting a panic, and no one panicked when it wasn't Hillary that won. Thank God, but wow it's caused a weird ripple through the firearms industry! Of course that should make all of us contemplate just how badly we were taking a bath on AR-15 prices for the past 8 years.

All my dogs, er four footed family, for the last 15 or so years have been rescues or strays. They have all been fantastic. You gotta keep him...he matches the rug.

Glad you found such a trainable puppy. Mine is the most hard-headed thing in the world. He understands NO, but chooses to ignore it. Wish you well with your new best buddy!

Thanks for getting those posted so quickly - great match, as always!

5.56 ammo today's Cheaper Than Dirt email ad. $299 per 1000 for a couple of different brass case. $199 for steelcase. $259 for 1000 62 gr. brass--I'm guessing this one may be an error!

Welcome Heath! Sounds you got some good experience to share. Enjoy

My philosophy is simpler as my bucks are quite amoral -- I don't buy from anybody when it's a ripoff, but will when it's a good deal. And yeah, pissed about the ten clams too. - OS

Welcome, Heath!

Recovering from surgery as we speak. Not to pry but where are you having it done and by who ?

Alright - we're less than two weeks out. For those of you who have trained your whole lives for something like this, this match will be awesome! You will finally have a place you can put all of your skills together in a match that plays to your strengths, and you'll feel like a thoroughbred finally set free to run. For those of you who have NEVER attempted anything like this, are intimidated by all of the crazy workouts posted on Facebook, and are having severe second thoughts lately - it will be even better. Whatever you do, JUST DON'T QUIT. The satisfaction and self-image you will get from just finishing this course will stay with you forever, and is something no one can ever take away from you. Many people have found matches like these to be a turning point in their lives, and in a year or two you may not even recognize the person you have become. Just remember - for every person you see pass you, there is someone behind you wishing they could keep up with you. And before ANYONE judges anyone else as being "too slow, too fat, or too lazy" - bite your tongue and listen to their story first. Across the country at matches like these we've had people recovering from recent strokes, heart attacks, cancer, pregnancy, amputations, and any other issue you can think of; just because "F#$K CANCER", that's why! Give them an encouraging word when you pass them - it really makes a difference. Even better - if you pass someone really struggling on the course: finish your race, set down your gear, and run back out to find that person. You can run beside them and offer them all the words of support and encouragement that you can think of - you just can't physically help them in any way. Let's do this.

Been there, done that. Even got the t-shirt for it. Best advice that anyone gave me was to rent or buy an electric recliner. I listened, laughed about it but got one anyway. They didn't lie to me for sure. For the first several weeks you will probably find it's the most comfortable place you can sleep. Adjusting an electric one doesn't put any strain on your upper body and they can be stopped in any position.

Welcome Heath. Isn't it fun not to worry about buying ammo?

Welcome from the 'Boro!

Here's to a fast and complete recovery!

My memory is good. I remember what CTD has done before. This doesn't make up for it.

I think lizard owes us each about two dollars and fifty cent for not posting sooner so we can get in on the deal while he still gets a piece.

Amen to that. Although I'm thinking that the dogs have been the rescuer and I've been the rescuee

I love my 460! Need to get myself a nice tri-pod shooting stick for it.

Thank you for stopping to help him. I am sure he is already feeling like family. I hope you have many great years together if no one is looking for him.

Nice collection. My Rugers started yelling at me when I brought home a Governor and 460.

Welcome aboard.

I've been watching price drops but haven't bought any myself. Too much still stashed that I paid too much for. [sad emoji not permitted?] But when I see good deals I like to pass them along. Sorry about no links, difficult from my phone. (Thanks for adding them MP5_Rizzo)

Welcome!

Best wishes in regards your surgery Grunt. Heal fast. As Jocko Willink says, now you have an "opportunity to learn", and with what you said: "old Army motto", "improvise, adapt, overcome", you'll do great! Do keep us posted. We'll learn as well.

A Smith for every season n reason! Very Nice indeed!

Fair enough. Maybe someone on here's took the plunge and will chime in about it.

In line with all of ZoidMeister's other threads, my understanding is that this was and is, quite simply, a joke. My apologies if it was intended as serious.

Wonder what Act II will be?

I hope you are getting an 80% lower. I have seen that before and thought that it was a joke. A 0% lower is just a chunk of aluminum. You will need a CNC mill and good CAM software to finish it or be very talented on a Bridgeport.

That is awesome. Roller guns are so much quieter than blowback or gas operated guns. Here is the last time I touched an MP5.

I try to avoid being probed.

Back in 1966, during the height of the cold war, we were going through the Straits of Gibraltar and the lookouts picked up a periscope off our starboard side. Shortly thereafter, a Russian surface ship pulled up close and escorted us into Naples. Later that night we ran into part of their crew in the Cactus Bar (Don’t even ask, how I remember the name of the bar, that’s another story). We were on opposite sides of the room and having a good time, then someone suggested we buy them some drinks. Needless to say, they were surprised, and even more so when we motioned them over to our table. We pushed several table together until we had room for everyone (there must have been 10-12 of them and about the same number of us). I don’t know if they could understand us and I know we had no idea what they were saying but we were having a hell of a good time. I can remember one of them pointing at our Dolphins and making a motion of going under water. When we confirmed it, he shook his head and made a negative motion with his hand, then a circular motion around his ear like we were crazy. He got a round of applause for that . Later on, they seemed to be embarrassed about not being able to buy rounds of drinks but we assured them, it was no problem and footed the bill ourselves. All was going well until the Shore Patrol showed up. It seems that the fact that we were partying with the “enemy” got back to the boat and we were ordered to return to the boat immediately. The Shore Patrol got a little tiffed because before we left, we paid for another round of drinks for our new buddies. I don’t know what they went through, but we were grilled about what was discussed at the bar. The only thing we were able tell them was the Russians didn’t have as much money as us, could drink like a fish, and liked the ladies with a little meat on their bones.

Run away... with no training, or standing as profesional security being ASKED to protect others WILL be a legal nightmare if something goes down. Run away....

Good lord. The whole thing sounds dicey to moi. Good luck there, Mr. Not Providing Security But Making Sure You're Armed So You Can Draw Down On Drunks and Meth Heads! - OS

New Boots . . . . ! An elderly couple, Sam and Bessie, are from Austin, Texas. Sam always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots. Seeing some on sale one day, he buys them, and is walking proudly all the way home. He walks into the house and says to his wife, "Notice anything different about me?" Bessie looks him over, "Nope." Frustrated Sam storms off into the bathroom, undresses, and walks back into the room completely naked except for the boots. Again he asks, a little louder this time, "Notice anything DIFFERENT NOW?" Bessie looks up and says, "Sam, what's so different? It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, and it'll be hanging down again tomorrow." Furious, Sam yells, "AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN BESSIE? IT'S HANGING DOWN BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AND ADMIRING MY NEW COWBOY BOOTS!" To which Bessie replies, ever so slowly, "Ya shoulda bought a hat, Sam. Ya shoulda bought a hat."

As it was manufactured before 1899 it is an antique and therefore FFL regulations do not apply. Pick it up while you are there and bring it home.

The Old Man and the Marine . . . . One sunny day in 2017, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, “I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton.” The Marine replied, “Sir, Mrs. Clinton is not President and doesn't reside here.” The old man said, “Okay,” and walked away. The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, “I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton”. The Marine again told the man, “Sir, as I said yesterday, Mrs. Clinton is not President and doesn't reside here.” The man thanked him and again walked away. The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same Marine, saying “I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton.” The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, “Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mrs. Clinton. I've told you already several times that Mrs. Clinton is not the President and doesn't reside here. Don't you understand?” The old man answered, “Oh, I understand you fine. I just love hearing your answer!” The Marine snapped to attention, saluted and said, “Yes, Sir, see you again tomorrow."

What idiot would sleep in a parking lot in Memphis?

Yeah, I usually renew my permit in person and it always annoys me that I am not legally allowed to carry my firearm in the very facility where I go to renew the permit.

It has never made any sense to me that the very government that deems a person to be eligible for a permit, sets the requirements for that person to get a permit, vets the person as safe and trustworthy to carry a gun before issuing the permit, takes the person's money in fees, etc. for the permit and then issues the permit turns around and basically says that the same person isn't safe and trustworthy enough to carry a gun in 'their' (our) buildings and that the permit issued by that very government basically isn't valid in their (our) buildings. It just shows how elitist most politicians are - like they are saying, "Well, we are fine with you carrying in restaurants and places like that around the general public but we don't want you carrying around important people like us."

Absolutely this is a great bill. No it is not perfect because our permits should be enough proof that we are good folks and can carry in secure areas. But in the real world that will never happen. If this is the path to legalize carry in pretty much 90% of public owned buildings, including colleges, then this will work very well to accomplish that. It still gives the government agency the ability to ask people to leave if someone is found to be carrying. Again not perfect but I honestly think if you don't give the agency that ability to trespass people, NOTHING will get through the committee system. Basically if you conceal, keep your mouth shut, then you will be legal as long as you don't walk into a secure area like the statehouse. I like that and am glad someone in Nashville thinks the same way and wrote a bill. I hope this bill flies under the radar kind of like how the car carry bill passed without much media attention.

Alright... we've been checking in here for purt near 2 years. I think we have enough to organize a militia get together
