I've needed some stuff to feel good about lately and this hit the spot today. https://wreg.com/2019/01/22/girls-dad-and-soon-to-be-stepdad-pose-with-her-before-dance/ This is what its supposed to be like. It's not their fault that yall couldn't make it work. Grow up and figure out how to act like an adult so that you can make that kid's world as great as it possibly can be. Stop punishing them for your mistakes. The fact that this is on our local station even though its from Waco hints at it being "viral." I hope that a lot of people see this and learn from it.

All of them.

If you're carrying without a permit, you're committing a crime. Don't be stupid.

I always just put the gun into the little basket my drawers make while doing my business. Kind of impossible to not get a reminder it's there if I somehow forget while pulling my pants up.

If you’re ever at the range with Mr. btq96r, keep the above quote in mind if he offers to let you shoot one of his pistols.

Why not?

Try being a fat guy in tight clothes.....

And very likely loaded in the same factory.

I did a short (45 minute) talk on the notion of putting an end to Second Amendment "Slacktivism" in 2019. Basically, I ask what sort of change could we make if we stopped outsourcing defense of the 2A to big organizations and were willing to take individual responsibility for preserving and furthering 2A causes this year. And I give some ideas on how we can each start doing simple things to further the cause. Give it a listen if you are so inclined. I'd love to hear any feedback that you might have. https://www.shootersnation.com/podcast/0042-lets-end-slactivism-in-2019/

You kind of touch on this at around 30 minutes but I guess you could say that I operate at the most grassroots level. I try very hard to introduce people to shooting. I I encourage them to come with me and try out what they hate so much. I've changed some minds and I've also had some incredible conversations about guns and laws. I think its great.

To add to this, I’m an anarchist. I reject the idea of government being a legitimate entity on principle, and yet I went and got a lifetime permit because I understand the reality of the world we live in. There’s a difference between acting on principle and acting on pride. It’s best not to get them confused.

I don't intend to sell things, but I hedge my bets because I have been poor more often than I like.

Could be because they were off on Sundays, since the paper was usually put together the day before so they could go out first thing in the morning.

Agreed, don't be stupid. You can disagree with laws all you want but to get charged with a crime can destroy your life. Be legal, then get involved and be a catalyst to change.

They do. Its why when someone with an ar shoots up a theater, its not that he is a nut job and needed to be culled, its that we are all evil and need to be disarmed.

Thats fantastic. I love that a framer has offered to frame it for free. It would hang above my mantle with pride.

Well, one can be fairly certain that this individual is not a hand washer either. Is a danger to society AND gross. dude.

When I sent in my 995 for warranty work, they request all mags. In my case, they replaced them all with new manufacture. The new mags display the HP logo and mfg date. Ymmv

Lets see if my vote for Trump and his SC picks bear fruit.

Recent transplant from the left coast. But i sure like the way people think here!! Been shooting for around 55 + years now, but want to learn and contribute when i can. Regards, Hamshog

^^ what he said. Even a small revolver (smith, Ruger, etc) in .22 mag would be hell on the receiving end.

With any luck you will be good for a bit, except for the new regs. There hasn't been one physically out of McNairy, yet.

CCI has been making coated .22 ammo for a few years now. I have several boxes of the red & green Christmas stuff and it seems like they put out some red, white, and blue or some such thing as well.

Kinda like glow in the dark condoms.... if you can’t figure it out without it glowing, maybe you don’t need to be doing it.

I think that's the best possible response.

Yep. And I'll add, that not only can that crime destroy your life but it is damning to the rest of us who carry legally and are trying to be advocates for responsible gun ownership. I'll just say this: Maybe I misinterpreted what the guy was saying. Maybe he's not carrying illegally. BUT, if he is, he needs to cut that out and get his permit or stop posting on TGO. We don't need saboteurs within.

Someone will buy it... sigh

I equate this as being a new chassis option. I know its much more complicated than that but I see it as another chassis on the market. And I'm curious how that compares to the existing chassis.

Actually, its not that uncommon and seems to happen now and then. And usually, its someone that is very accustomed to carrying, such as a LEO. I'm sure you've all seen stories in the past about the Chief, detective or even uniformed officer who left their handgun in the can or elsewhere. The person is just so used to having it be there that they forget it isn't. Some years ago, the city I worked for did a blood drive. The Bloodmobile parked at a fire station and that's where we went to give. One of our female police officers finished up and I took her place on that couch. A few minutes later, I'm laying back there just chillin' and doing the thing, when I hear tires squeal as a patrol car comes flying into the parking lot. This same officer jumps out of the car, runs inside and walks directly up to me. Then, with a very red face, she opened the drawer under the couch, retrieved her service weapon and put it back in her holster. Neither one of us said a word as she turned and left. Hell, I'll even admit that a time or two I've been in a hurry to go somewhere. I feel the holster on my belt and figure all is good. But then I walk out of the house and realize that I forgot to put the gun in the holster. BTW: no, I have never left it anywhere in public. When nature calls, I put it in my pants where I can't forget it. Yes, its foolish, irresponsible and embarrassing. But sometimes you're in a hurry and miss a detail or two. Brain farts can happen to the best of us.

I don’t think anyone is disagreeing with that premise, I just think that some of the others in the conversation just want to ensure they can keep shooting as long as it takes to find that exit. I intend to be able to be in the fight as long as I have to be, no matter how long that takes. That means having enough ammo to keep shooting until I can escape, or the other guy decides that he doesn’t want to fight anymore or has that choice made for him.

I know what you mean. On their .350 legend page it say more energy than a .30-30 but on their .30-30 page it shows the opposite. They didn't say more energy than ALL .30-30's so I guess it is technically correct. That's marketing fo you.

I believe so. It like what Capbyrd said. I know there are a couple of people at that Publix who were wondering why people needed to carry a gun if they are going to be irresponsible like that. For people who are not leaning one way or the other in the gun control debate, things like this leaves a bad impression.

I didn't know that was a thing. Those people should move or overthrow their governments.

I think the offering is geared towards the hunting crowd that is limited to straight wall center fired cartridges such as IA and MI, IL, and OH.

It looks really cool and I was headed here to complain about the cartridge compared to 308. From the chart on Winchester's page, the 350 Legend carries about 900 pounds of energy at 200 yards. My 308 is twice that. But then @stumpy reminded me that this will fit into an ar15 action. So that changes things a little. Unless ammo is over a dollar per round, I'd be willing to throw a few down range.

I was trying to find it too. The only thing I could find is that it doesn't use a proprietary bcg but rather a shortened mil spec unit. I would assume that shorter bcg equates to the buffer assembly riding into the receiver. But I really don't know. I know that some people have done recoil assemblies that go above the bcg and I feel that is the way to go, but I don't think the perfect system has been designed yet.

Which is only slightly more difficult than teaching a cat to tap-dance.

Fixed. Guess mobile uploading had some issues.

Here's a little more info on it. https://winchester.com/350-Legend

He wasn’t the hero we wanted, but he was the hero we needed.

May explain why Bud's has a stack of Ruger ARs for $479

Sequel is starting to film... And, speaking of film, 5/17/19 has been declared Mark's excellent adventure day. Going to start out shooting with a few buddies, have a good lunch and a cold beverage, then head out to see John Wick 3... First trailer looks pretty good

Yes, I'm dragging this up from the almost dead... I've got several new series started that I haven't made up my mind about. If anything turns out promising I will let everyone know. This is not survival related but I've started read the Corps Justice series by C.G. Cooper. Just general save the day kick butt action by a group of ex-marines. The author lives somewhere south of Nashville and the base of the company that these guys work for is located in the Nashville area. The entire first novel was pretty much in Nashville. This is not deep thinking stuff. Much more along the lines of turning off your mind and drifting through the book while embracing your inner mall ninja... Mark

Here's my problem with the whole thing and why I think certain "preppers" can't see the forest for the trees...say you got your 100k bunker...and then you get cancer, have a brain aneurysm, widow maker heart attack, etc...what would help your family more a bunker they will most likely never use and a bunch of property taxes and medical bills or all that money you've spent prepping? Also I see a lot of preppers on these forums...they wanna have stockpiles of food, ammo, etc...but they don't exercise...when your super obese and can't run for more then 5 minutes without getting winded, got diabetes, high blood pressure, etc...what the heck makes you think your gonna have long term survival...A good cardio program or treadmill should be some peoples first prep lol.

For what you would pay for a Jet Ski and trailer you could buy a good used bass boat these days.

There are many flavors of conservative. One would think the concept of the big tent to be a good idea. That often doesn't seem to be the case.. Seems to be a little shortsighted in my opinion.

If you start fishing from a jet ski you might just be a bigger redneck than the ones born here.

The new Glock does for me exactly what the old Glock did for me. Nothing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I miss the 7.62 x54R ammo for $44 for a 440 spam can.
