There's truth in this. Regardless of whether you loved or hated your choices in the last general election - you had those choices because 9% of the population showed up during the primaries to put them there.

Many rememberd that Trump was a lifelong NY liberal who was once in favor of an assault weapon ban? I didn't want to say that in my last comment but that was really my point. When it came down to it, gun owners would rather vote for someone pretending to be on their side than vote for someone who they KNEW wasn't on their side. Those of us that did what you mentioned and voted 3rd party were treated like the village idiot. If Scott actually runs for a spot in Washington he will have plenty of gun owners lining up to support him as long as the alternative is perceived to be worse.

Whatever you think you need double it

I'm of the opinion that just about any good defense load will get the job done. Try several and go with what shoots best in your gun.

I spent years rolling around on the ground in the gravel working on cars and said if I ever was able I would build a shop I could work in. I now have it and have the tools to do the work, but somehow the beer fridge, stereo and television seems to capture my attention more than anything.

Well. It ain't gonna be GOA, or any of the other opinions with 10 followers. The NRA made a mistake when they gave on bump stocks after Vegas. I understand that one, but think it's a mistake. But, the purest of intentions don't mean #### in the hands of somebody with no power. The NRA swings a big bat. So does Trump. The difference between the two is that Trump was born without a sphincter muscle. When it gets there, it just falls out. He is backing away from some of that "good legislation" now. I don't care what he says, so much. I care what he actually does.

You could have an industrial sized warehouse and still somehow manage to not have enough room.

I built a 30x40x14 and it’s full with a Deere 3038, RZR 4 seater and 2 classic cars. I did install a 2 post lift and 4 post to store the cars on. I do have enough room to work. Long story short make it as big as you can afford and it’ll last you a while.

No shop is ever large enough. I built a 30x40 with 10' ceiling so not to bump out an engine hoist. Self-supporting trusses so not to have any support posts to bang car doors on or bump a floor jack handle into. Fiber mesh concrete with moisture barrier and re bar reinforcement in the floors so not to have anything metal on the floor rust or slab to crack. I built two feet of foundation above the slab and then stud walls on top of that to allow for washing the floors, or washing cars inside without getting the walls wet. I have a 3" drop over 30' feet from back to front so water will run out the doors rather than to put a drain in the floor (they are prone to fail). This amount of drop is not detectable when walking around. I covered the walls in 4x8 sheets of dry erase board and white pegboard. This does not collect dust like drywall, can be used for diagrams and measurements (dry erase markers everywhere), and light reflection is great so to prevent shadows when doing body work. The walls are easily cleaned with a swiffer. I put 3 standard garage doors on the front and one 12 footer on the back. This allows for drive through capability which is much easier than backing a trailer down a long drive and into the garage plus it makes for great ventilation on warm summer days. Ceiling fans, stereo, TV, beer fridge and tools. Upstairs, is a 16x40 storage room with 8' ceiling. This space could be made into an apartment but I prefer the storage space. I just told the wife yesterday that I needed to build a wing on the garage or get a storage building. No shop is ever large enough.

I recently bought a 19X and the rear sight was a little farther off to one side than I like. It zeroed fine but that is a pet peeve of mine so I sold it. Went back to the store and inspected every single 19X they had and found one that is about perfect. I have yet to shoot the second one but it should be no different than the first one and be amazingly reliable, it is a Glock, as well as surprisingly accurate. I will say I have not been a fan of Glocks despite carrying them for work and every day carry. But with that being said I really like this one. For those that don't know the 19X was Glock's submission to the military service pistol program. The only difference is the submitted version had a manual safety and the civilian version doesn't, which I like. But beyond that it is identical to the gun submitted to the military for trials. Even though the 19X is a generation 5 gun it does have some slight differences from other generation 5 Glocks. What makes the 19X different than any other Glock is it has a 19 length slide on a full size, 17 frame. I hear of people saying Glock should have went with a longer slide and a shorter frame and that this is the worst gun ever but I think it is great, especially for a EDC. The shorter grip frame of the 19, as well as the compacts, do not allow for a full grip and without a good grip accuracy suffers. Another problem with the more compact guns is the magazine capacity. I know you can use a full size magazine with the compacts but if you are going to use a full size magazine why not have the full size grip to go along with it. I hear people saying it is not concealable but I beg to differ because most people are oblivious to their surroundings. If they are going to notice the grip of a full size pistol they are going to notice the grip of a compact but 99% of the people will have no clue a person is carrying a full size pistol. The slide being shorter has some benefits. Me, like most people, spend a lot of time sitting each day. And with a longer slide that can get uncomfortable as the gun is pushed up. With the shorter slide it is a lot less of a problem. The 19X is a perfect gun for those who spend most of their day sitting without giving up magazine capacity. People are screaming the 19X has a short sight radius, these are the same people carrying the super compact Glocks that have an even shorter sight radius. One difference I noticed from other generation 5 Glocks was that the front of the grip extends down to act as sort of a magazine protector. Standard Glocks have a cut out so a person can drag the magazine out easily if it doesn't drop free, the 19X does not have the cut out and instead has that extension to the grip. I like it because it gives you more grip. The 19X also has a maritime spring cup which helps it fire after being submerged in water. It comes from the factory with tritium sights that are bright and easy to see. It also comes with a lanyard loop but it is easily removed like any grip plug. The generation 5 Glocks have an ambidextrous slide release, 19X included. I am not a lefty but I like the idea of an ambidextrous slide release. The one thing that the ambidextrous release does that I do not like is it exposes the internals to crud unlike previous versions. Probably not a big deal but you can look in and see the trigger bar moving. The genreation 5 Glocks also have replaceable backstraps. I currently use the largest backstrap with a beavertail. I do not have large hands but with the large backstrap it feels better, and shoots better, in my hands. It, like most generation 5 Glocks, seem to shoot better than any other generation of Glock I have ever shot. I have used and shot every generation except the first generation pistols and they have shot well enough but this thing surprised me with the accuracy. Touching holes at 7 yards was simple. Glock is bragging about their new "Marksman Barrel" and it is unlike any other Glock barrel because they are not polygonal anymore. The newest generation Glocks also have an integrated magazine well to help with magazine changes. I feel the 19X is a great deal in Glocks. It is $600 but it has tritium sights that are easy to see and seem brighter than most tritium sights I have seen. It comes with three standard G17 magazines in FDE, two of the magazines have +2 extensions raising their capacity. The one thing I HATE about the gun is the color. If it had been black it would have been a home run but instead it has a FDE grip and a burnt bronze/baby poop colored slide. One thing most people are not going to like about the generation 5 Glock is no parts, other than magazines, will swap with the previous generations. The barrels are different and the slides will not interchange. Not sure about trigger parts though. Speaking of magazines the 19X will use previous version magazines but will NOT work with other generation 5 magazines because of the base plates. Swap base plates and any magazine work. Another option is to remove the grip extension on the front of the grip. This is Glock's version of a "commander" pistol.

First experiment with a bullet proof vest would be my guess!!!!!

Planning on living in it?............LOL That shop is a lot bigger than my house. Sounds a lot like the new shop my son built a few years ago but he operates an automotive repair center out of his. He has his all insulated to cut down on heating bills. He has 2 above ground lifts. one 2 post and one 4 post located in the drive through section and he can have a vehicle on the 4 post and put it in the air and drive through below it. I thought when he showed me the blueprints that he was over doing it but turns out it is a great working building. I made the statement when I was looking at blue prints that he was going to have a lot of unused space. I was wrong..........lol.

Got my hat on order, kinda slipped my feeble mind, LOL. Only thing worse than getting old, is not getting old ( so they say ). Anxious to see what the SN stuff looks like............

3” 1 oz slug to the left cheek below the eye from about 45 yds. Dropped with no squeal like a rock. I had it processed there. Good chops !!!

I use a Mossberg 500 12 gauge with 3" Win. XR Longbeards. Works grrrrreat! I use a Hastings .640 choke in it. But, when I get time to test it, I may use a .665 that I made. Been working a lot the last month. I've got several calls that I want to try out too. Good luck to everybody.

Shoots great! No issues at all.

Double thanks on the tall items.

Thanks for finding a vendor that offers a few tall items. I ordered a couple of shirts and a hat.

I thought the hats were the best quality I have seen I quite a while. I am very particular about the how the front panels on hats look. If they are mot made right they pull or distort. These were perfect and fit my head great.

Why not just say clout??

Looks like the walkout is in the morning, then the rally in the evening. So a walkout breaking the rules, to protest other students breaking the law, all the while blaming the guns, and gun owners??

All guns are more accurate than I am.

So the fix for keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill is to make them cost more? Huh; imagine that. Who knew it was so simple.

Awesome!! Decent weather. Beautiful property. Checked and reconfirmed zero on my rifle and the retical was screwed up!!!!!! Thank gosh I brought a shotty! https://imgur.com/a/pL9BE GREAT cutters https://imgur.com/a/1VRWr

“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” No one elected can be trusted.

Delegate Nick Freitas is running for Virginia's U.S. Senate against Tim Kaine. Plainly speaking the truth.

You got that right, I swear the world is crumbling down all around us and everyone has blinders on.

Hunting shows don’t do anything to help the image of turkey hunters. Reaping is dangerous. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’m ready, short of some sighting in. Got a second 20ga this year. Loaded up a bunch of TSS and I can’t wait to smash some heads. Spent today water proofing seams in these blinds. I love hunting rainy days, but hate being wet. We set these up on a couple farms so we can retreat to a blind of a rain storm moves in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes I am !

Between the 2 I’d go with arlo. Simplisafe is junk and anti gun.

Although I think it would be pretty easy to disarm him, there is the off chance that he would win the battle. In that case, I’d likely be the one getting shot. I don’t like to judge people, but I seen him later walking around the store and he came across to me as the “hey, look at me, I’ve got a gun” type. Seemed he was making a conscience effort to make sure people saw his gun.

It would depend on if they offer tall sizes for me. Bare midriff isn't a good look for me.
