That reminds me of when I was working a summer job at my buddy's "Island Times" convenience store. There I was, minding my own business, probably doing something mundane like cleaning my fingernails or something. This guy comes in, clearly having had a few too many beers on his charter boat. He kept mumbling something about "bread" and flashing 2 dollars to everyone in the store. I figured he wanted to know where the bread was so I walked him to the bread rack. Crazy drunk pulled a gun on me! True story.

I think I mentioned before that I have incredible luck when purchasing guns. I’ve yet to have to return a gun for any reason. I’ve been shooting Sig 365 practice and Defensive ammo (V-Crown) that I got on sell. I eventually plan to carry Hornady Critical Defense like I do in all my pistols.

Pretty tall tale, and I'd assert only that. Almost assuredly related to Tangier Island. Along with the quaint speech patterns there, disappearances perhaps inspired and conflated with the long ago mystery of the Roanoke Colony (and Roanoke Island, named for it not too far away down NC waters). - OS

This is the main thing. It's a Sig. They will fix the rough spots just like Glock always has to do. If you like the gun, you're good to go.

Think I might have had to charter just one more ride with that same captain!

I recently purchased my second P365 from Arms Fair. It has a born date of June 2018. My first P365 was purchased from Buds, and was born in March 2018. i never told my wife about the first P365, so when she saw the second pistol, see says “that’s more my style, I want a laser on it”. See previously had a Ruger LCR .22 with Crimson Trace laser, and a M&P Shield with a green Crimson Trace laser. I guess I’m in the market for a third P365. Thirteen rounds of 9mm in such a small package is a beautiful thing.

I have been living under a rock apparently. I grew up using tools with a cord and up until about 5 years ago hadn't owned anything else. I bought a 20v DeWalt drill and have nothing but happy with the purchase. A few months ago I started researching impact drivers and impact wrenches as well as comparing different brands through forums and video reviews. I'd never have guessed impact wrenches had come as far as they have, and honestly was skeptical. I narrowed my choices down to DeWalt and Milwaukee as they seemed to be head to head as far as quality and torque. So I picked up a DeWalt 20vMax XR brushless 1/2" impact wrench and a DeWalt 20vMax 1/4" impact driver. They each came with battery/charger as well as carrying cases. Wow, I'm really behind the times, they are both outstanding! I got them both at Lowe's and was able to add 2 years of warranty through Lowe's to extend the 3 year warranty that DeWalt offers. Milwaukee has a 5 year warranty but I couldn't find both in stock anywhere and wanted to buy local in case I had any issues. I'd honestly have been happy with either brand but now all 3 of my tools can interchange batteries. I'm probably the last man on earth that has waited this long but if you haven't tried them, give them a shot.

I have an earlier version of this Makita set https://www.amazon.com/Makita-LCT209W-12-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless/dp/B005CQ1RGI/ref=sr_1_6?s=power-hand-tools&ie=UTF8&qid=1530584432&sr=1-6&keywords=makita+drill+set&refinements=p_89%3AMakita%2Cp_n_feature_two_browse-bin%3A2399140011 I was amazed at what these little drills can do and they are so small and light it doesn't wear you out to use it. I just got done putting wood siding on my steel Carolina Carport using the impact driver. I thought I was going to have to run 100 foot of extension cord to use my heavier corded drill but the little impact driver did the job without breaking a sweat.

Seems to me that you outed him out for his job. Paid protester. Either that or they (the left) are becoming paranoid and feel that they need to arm themselves. Hopefully he has some training at least.

Send me a PM and tell me what kind of boat your looking for and I will hook you up or call me at 615-568-5229.

Same here. I carry her guns way more than she does.

I got the Dewalt 20v impact driver in a kit with a drill. I didn't think much of it, thought it was just an overgrown screwdriver. I love that little driver, definitely gets the most use out of my power tools.

I put the wheels in motion once, I got run over!

If you've ever stripped a phillips head screw when driving it with a normal drill - an impact driver would have likely changed that outcome. For those who don't know, there's a difference between a hammer drill and an impact driver. With a hammer drill, the force is applied inline with the bit. Think of drilling concrete if you had a way to tap the back of the bit with a hammer to help it bite. With an impact driver - the force is in the direction of rotation. So, think of turning a tough screw - and being able to tap that screw around the axis. For stuff that might be sitting out in the weather - or might be a bit corroded - or might be going into wet wood - an impact driver will change your life.

We still live in separate houses some, so she always has one on the night stand. Just can't get her to throw one in her purse.

Same with my wife. She says she doesn’t carry because she has me. The family joke is that I’m Deputy Dog .

I had no idea how an impact driver was different than my cordless drill. Apparently I'm not the only one to ask this question. Now I want one!

Well, there goes one S.

One of my most used tools is my Dewalt cordless drill. But, sometimes a battery tool doesn't have enough snort. Between my drill press and my smaller Bosch hammer drill, I have everything covered without having to keep a plain old corded drill.

The 40v Ryobi tools here. It's enough power to get the job done with no cords and no gas. I have the blower, string trimmer and edger. Never have to break out the second battery.

I love my 365...

Many times a battery powered tool will do the job and make the job easier but there are times when the cord prevails! I love quality tools, hand or powered!

I can't get my woman to carry anything. Not sure the type of gun has anything to do with it . She has a bunch

I will also add that while I’ve got a bunch of 20V stuff, Dewalt’s little 12v impact driver may be the single most used tool around our place. I’ve got two bigger ones, but for the size and power, I almost always reach for the little one.

The Dewalt 60v FlexVolt yard tools have made my life measurably better. Both the blower and weed eater are great. I wish we had skipped NiCads and would’ve had lithium ion batteries years ago.

I'm with hipower. I was very interested in the P365 when it was first announced, and I remained interested throughout the gun's early problems that still don't seem to be quite sorted out. Then I actually got to handle one, and I quickly decided the grip angle doesn't fit my hand. Plus new stories of problems show up on the forums nearly every day. I'm confident Sig will make the guns right eventually, but I'm sticking with my Shields. Cheers, Whisper

If I had never seen him with those signs on TV I would have never thought he would be the type that was against fire arms. I think what I would like to know is was he being paid to protest or doing it because he believes that junk?

I have a shield and love it. I replaced my shield with a P365 about 6 weeks ago. 700 rounds later, no going back.

Thanks. I remember him, he was from the Chattanooga area. I sold him a .25 once. really nice guy.

St. Jude does unbelievable things with the donations they get. It's one of the 5/6 charities I donate to on a regular basis.

I do to every month I send them a check for $20. I know it's not much but I think if they get a lot of $20 donations it adds up. I know they want folks to get on that auto pay program but I don't trust anyone to have access to my accounts willingly. If they hack into it, that is out of my control.

I don't call ahead and tell the Wal-Mart manager I'll be carrying when I shop in his store and I don't tell my barber I'm carrying when I get a haircut. A charter operator is no different. It's a business operating to the public.

I've lived in St. Louis and Houston. Nashville isn't all that big IMO. It has just outgrown its infrastructure in a way that won't be fixed in my lifetime. I don't want to spend a huge portion of my life waiting to get where I am going. I HATE traffic, especially when they are all on the damn phone. Like I said... been here for 25 years.

Your business place is just like your home. You do not need a handgun carry permit to keep a firearm at your business. In fact your friend can carry a loaded gun in his car without a permit too which would cover him making bank deposits at the drive up window for his business. So he would be fine without a permit to carry from his home in his car to his business, to say the bank, and then on the way home in his car. Since the business is just like your house, you could keep a loaded long gun for protection. Long guns are not covered by handgun carry permits. 39-17-1308. Defenses to unlawful possession or carrying of a weapon. (a) It is a defense to the application of § 39-17-1307 if the possession or carrying was: (3) At the person's: (A) Place of residence; (B) Place of business; or (C) Premises;

I found this article online and thought it was excellent. Worth sharing here. Source: http://bfelabs.net/printing-doesnt-matter/ This really goes back to the fundamental reason that I have been so vocally supportive of concealed carry and against open carry. I believe that open carry has a very narrow lane within which it has practical purpose or benefit, whereas concealment has a much wider range of benefits. Realizing that this can become a somewhat religious debate, particularly with those people who advocate open carry as some sort of talisman that wards off evil doers or who use the visibility of their handgun as a sort of well-intentioned but misguided Pro-2A political statement, I would encourage you to read the article that I linked at the start of this post and then respond if you feel led to do so. As a note, I realize that some folks simply cannot conceal-carry for physical reasons. That's a different animal and is one of the few reasons why I am glad that Tennessee does not force concealment. I still hope that those people use some sort of garment or bag or other cover method to hide or obscure their firearm to maintain a tactical advantage. Anyway, have fun reading.
