I'd like for the holiday to return to a celebration of the birth of our savior instead of the ridiculous sham it's become.

That’s exactly what it is and so many gun owners of the carrying kind have taken it hook, line, and sinker.

The beginning of federal gun control affecting gun owners in all state's. Bad business.

I haven’t shared anything here in a while so let’s change that! I recently had the opportunity to add these 2 to my collection. And I look forward to finding more as they are really growing on me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don’t try it again. It will not fix the problem. Time to uninstall your graphics driver. I’ll throw up some instructions to do that in a little while when I get on a proper computer. If that doesn’t work it goes back to a hardware problem (or not enough fiddling with adjustments).

Scares the hell outta me.

I agree Leroy, I just sold him one of these

The issue here is really simple...who decides what is 'reasonable precautions and properly installed safe". That is the crux of the matter. I believe we all secure our valuables in some fashion. Most here would use a safe. But having a politician, especially a gun control liberal, dictate the method is not acceptable to me.

What's it gonna take to keep you out of WalMart, Gordon? You are a glutton for punishment.

Thelma and Louise. The early years.

For sure. I do like a tailor style suit but I avoid the "nut hugger 2 sizes too small" look. I also hate the high water dress pants look. I shouldn't see your socks unless your sitting down

This is not a positive long term development.

My recommendation would be the Protech Magic Whiskers.

How about we just make it illegal to steal firearms-Oh Wait---

Well today I was in Walmart and noticed an awesome hat sitting on the counter in sporting goods. My wife snapped a picture, what do you think?

Oh, there is a simple mod you can do to make it decock only instead of safety. It's a 5 min mod and can be reversed.

Oops just realized there was another page. You picked a good one, I do love my full size strider.

I wear a suit daily, and I clip a Magic to the inside pocket of my jacket. That’s my vote. You’ll always have a conversation piece if you have time to kill. No ones opened mine yet.

Thanks for the great kindness Brother... I figured willis would fix ya up... Remember this:... "Wisdom comes from experience... Most experience comes from bad experiences..."... I know; i've had the problem... I know ya will enjoy your "Baby Strider"... I sure do... leroy...

Excellent advice as usual willis! I only posted that link as it was the first search result in my results, I have no clue where my coworker procured it but it's been a good little knife to add to my mix despite that I also generally prefer no serrations in my daily carry.

Actually you don't live longer, you're just awake more so it seems longer.

Are these available as a set?

I’ve got a Damascus Delica that I went full custom on. Add in some Micarta scales and a titanium deep carry clip and all the sudden you’re in expensive knife category. Those two are gateways into nice knives.

Leroy I've always considered you wise, so I took your advice and have one of these on the way Thanks to @willis68 for a good deal

I always carry snootier knives. But those are two of my all time favorites.

Personally I do not like serrations, none of my knives are serrated and I own a ton, if a knife is properly sharpened it will cut without issue, I have never needed serrations that tear but your experience and wants may differ from mine

Folks, please be careful buying knives on Amazon, throughly check out the store that you buy from as a professional knife sharpener I have seen at least 5 knives sold from Amazon that were fake, I have let several companies know about this they all say if a price is too good to be true, it is because they are fakes it is always best to buy from a dealer like myself who will have your back and NEVER sell something That is not the real deal

If the Senate does pass it and the POTUS signs it I'd say the 9th Circuit will shut it down before the ink is dry.

I'd say 5 or more states will ban together to file suit within days of it passing, will almost certainly find a judge to put stay on it till decided. - OS

My preference overall, and has been for a long time, is non-serrated knives for my edc. I can't remember a time where I needed serrations and didn't have it.

Like a fair number of others, he's learned from the master. Time will tell if he can beat him.

http://dailycaller.com/2017/12/06/good-gal-with-a-gun-stops-wannabe-cop-killer-video/ A woman carrying a firearm shot a man who assaulted a police officer in Dawson County, Georgia, on Tuesday. According to Fox 5 Atlanta, 52-year-old Sgt. Randy Harkness gave a homeless man a ride to a local Chevron and planned to give him a little bit of money. However, the homeless man began physically assaulting Harkness and, according to the Dawson County Sheriff, may have even tried to reach for his gun. Luckily, a gun-toting woman sitting in her car at the Chevron witnessed the attack and got out of her car to shoot at the suspect. The sheriff’s office said she hit the homeless man at least once. “She shot off a round. The guy got off the police officer and she shot another round and he was running that way I think, there was three shots,” said Aseem Kahn, the owner of the gas station. The gunfire caused the homeless man to flee across the street to a McDonald’s, where he punched an elderly woman in the face and tried to steal her car. Several customers at the restaurant subdued the man and held him down until police arrived. Read more and see video.

The elk was gravy for a great trip. Got to spend some real time with my brother, life had denied that in any quantity for the last 25 years, he a Dr. (Interventionist Radiologist), me in the Heavy Industrial Manufacturing construction business, both demand all of your time, fractured families and lost dreams are the result of such avocations. He retired in September, I took the first vacation days not spent at the TN Legislature in 10 years (two full weeks). We caught up, buried a couple of hatchets and had a genuine good time in each others presence. Montana was gorgeous, I got to stand on Last Stand Hill and marvel at Custer's stupidity, saw a lot of country I had never seen except out of the window at 30K feet. I wish we had done it 25 years ago, but at least we did it now!

I was wondering if perhaps your monitor got out of whack? Can you still see the Start Button on the bottom left, and the clock on the bottom right? Does it appear as though you've lost things off the edges of your screen? If so, then you may need to try and adjust your monitor. First off, power off everything... the PC and the monitor. Then power it all back on. If that didn't fix it. then look for some buttons on your monitor. Every one is different and the way you adjust them are different. You'll have to experiment with them to figure out the menu system, but buried in there somewhere is a way to adjust the width, height and position of the screen. This functionality is also build into the display driver of some video cards. Without knowing your PC model, or your video card type, I can't tell if yours is like that or not. Regardless, look for some software that might be related to your video card. Sometimes it's hidden in the little tray area to the left of the clock on the task bar. Click the ^ button and hover over the icons that show up and see if any of them are graphics related. If you find one, click it or right-click it and poke around.

There's no way I would use a Democrat in my avatar

You look like the Grand Poo Bah of the Fraternal Order of Tom.

Leroy for President

Whoa !! Not only is the price crazy but there's also all kinds of hoops to jump through I do think, I've lost all interest. It’s likely that a vintage CMP will end up running customers “between $800 and $1,000,” http://taskandpurpose.com/m1911-pistols-cmp-sale-details/

If we are seriously going by the Thread Title, this doe would be nice. Now if you meant something else, I would like this under the tree. M107A1

Let me toss a weird one in here. Not an auto. I have one of its big brothers. Light, nice design, good materials. Willis sells these. Several options available, including Emerson wave https://www.knifecenter.com/item/SG06030008/southern-grind-spider-monkey-folding-knife-satin-drop-point-blade-carbon-fiber-handles

Did this happen right after update to Windows 10 or what? - OS

I had a little EDC pocket organizer from this guy, held my pen, flashlight, and knife with no damage to dress pants pockets. https://www.etsy.com/shop/BushgearLeatherworks Congrats on the new gig BTW! I will point out that now that you work a desk job, I encourage you to concentrate less on what you can't carry in your fancy new pants, and instead concentrate on what you can fit into your new briefcase!

Congrats on the new job. I am sure @willis68 can make a few suggestions.

Interestin stuff Brother... When i was a boy, about 60 years ago or so; we used ta see lotsa these pistolas in both Colt and SW flavors... They were pretty popular around here in East Tennessee, for the reasons ya indicated, i think... Lotsa folks used them for hide hunting foxes and coons... Ltttle holes... Little damage to the pelt... They are a great thing... leroy...

I tested at my vortex venom red dot on my Glock 41 MOS last weekend. It easily extended the range of the 45 ACP out to 100 yards. Check out the video http:// Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I understand what everybody is saying, but I should be able to lay my firearms on display out on the front porch and nobody bother them. I guess I'm just trying to wrap my head around how I could be responsible because some lowlife thief breaks down my door and steals my guns. For what it's worth, most of my guns are stored securely in the safe, but I don't really like the idea of being held to some "secure firearm" standard.

If we're going to get a free-market solution to this problem then it will be in the form of something making low security cost more than reasonable security. Insurance policies that require reasonable and specific security measures or they won't pay for the loss might be one route. If they stop making it easy for the shops to file a claim and lose nothing but their deductible then suddenly a few $K in some security vs. losing a whole lot more in inventory sounds like a smart move to the owners. Either that, or civil lawsuits start flowing in when the stolen firearms are used in crimes and the victims can convince a jury that the gun shop was negligent by having no more security than a donut shop. That wouldn't be hard at all and I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. The cost of defending (much less losing) a suit would see most shops go under, and any other with low security making some changes toot sweet.

This is the same argument that leftist authoritarians use for banning firearms: "There should more laws to make these people do what I want them to do." Are you sure this is the kind of legal philosophy you want to advocate? Whisper

The gun stores with nothing but glass storefronts getting hit and loosing 20-30 guns at a time doesn't help the situation you are describing. I actually wouldn't mind seeing some regulation requiring better security at these places since they aren't responsible enough to enact it themselves.
