Yeah, believe it or not, I have a thing for mouse guns. Little .22 & 25 acp pistols that'll fit in your shirt pocket. I don't know why I'm so fond of them. But under certain circumstances where deep concealment is required, I have carried one as my primary.

Parents failure to love their kids, teach their kids and give their kids a good home is why we have mass shootings; not guns.

When I was growing up my parents left us unattended in a running vehicle all the time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

or vote.

It is a shame there cannot be a test one has to pass in order to reproduce.

I probably know where it is and can tell you it’s even better in person thanks Steve

My only AK caliber rifle. Barreled action by Dolomite Supafly. Single shot Savage action 7.62x39. If I recall he used a Green Mountain .308 blank. Bushnell 30mm 10x on top. It shoots saltine crackers at 185yrds with ease.

Those were they days. We also had windows that rolled down all the way, no stupid-ass electronic sensors that cost too much and don’t work, and far more intelligent people going about life. I used to stand up in the passenger seat of mom’s VW Squareback riding around town, lol. But she sure as hell did not leave me in the car, ever, especially with windows and doors that won’t open.

How does that saying go? "All of the guns some of the time, some of the guns all of the time"?

You could probably search back in the forum a few years back to find the pictures that I posted of my little obsession, but I’ll post them again here. I still have all of these as well as some better quality mouse guns in my collection.

My dogs Seresto flea color costs almost that much and only last 8 months.

I agree 100% that parents don't spend the time necessary to actually teach their children and in most case show the children the Love they should and most of all provide them a good home. We did not have all the high tech toys kids have today and when they began to show up my kids did not get them until they could buy their own. Then there was rules in my home when and where they could be used. My boys were taught right from wrong until they left home as adults and from watching my Son Ronnie with his boys he raised them in pretty much the same manor he was raised in.

IMHO, you can't go wrong with 1911alltheway.

Leaving your headlights on is more obvious than your kids in the back seat? That's incomprehensible. Having kids should fundamentally change how a person thinks and acts. People need to put down the damn phone, quit being so self absorbed and accept the idea that their needs are no longer the most important thing.

I have been selling Pro-Tech knives since 2014 in that time I have seen some of the finest custom knives I could imagine, but yesterday I brokered a deal for one of my clients on what I consider one of the absolute best custom knives made, this TR3 in inlaid with 24Karet Gold and has a solid gold 1/4 ounce bullion coin inlaid it is absolutely stunning

Not a thumb break, but here’s a pic of the rig he did for me with pancakes for my BHP and Beretta 92G.

55-10-803. Offense of leaving child unattended in motor vehicle -- Penalty. (a) It is an offense for a person responsible for a child younger than seven (7) years of age to knowingly leave that child in a motor vehicle located on public property or while on the premises of any shopping center, trailer park, or any apartment house complex, or any other premises that is generally frequented by the public at large without being supervised in the motor vehicle by a person who is at least thirteen (13) years of age, if: (1) The conditions present a risk to the child's health or safety; (2) The engine of the motor vehicle is running; or (3) The keys to the motor vehicle are located anywhere inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

(c) A second or subsequent violation of this section is a Class B misdemeanor punishable only by a fine of five hundred dollars ($500). If the adult was present and children were in no danger he was an idiot.

1911alltheway did a leather holster for my Shield with the integrated laser. It looks great and the fit is perfect. Need to get some money ahead and get a few more done. At least for a 9 and a 45 1911.

Here are a couple I have done... This was done for one of the members here. It is a cross draw but I can make a strongside holster as well. The next one is for a revolver but it gives an idea for what can be done with a thumb break holster. These are both avenger style holsters but I can also do pancake style holsters as well, I just don't have any pics of them with a thumb break. There are also others on here that make holsters as well, and I'm sure you will get others chiming in. There is alot of talent on here. Congrats on the 1911 it's one of my favorites both to do holsters for and to shoot, I've carried mine forever.

Shooters Nation has given me a rare opportunity that I frankly don't deserve to sit among people inside the industry and listen to what they're saying. I've heard and seen things that have later come to pass, and likewise things that fizzled and never manifested. That's the way "insider" information works. In the last 72 hours, some of what I've been privy to has been leaked elsewhere on social media by other people eager to outdo each other. I guess to prove that they know cool people who know cool things, or whatever. I'm not keen on betraying the confidence that some of these folks have shown in me, so I'll continue to keep my mouth shut. I will say this... we've got some smart folks on TGO and a lot of common sense present here. Naturally we come to some pretty accurate conclusions all on our own. But we've also got some loud voices on TGO that people are listening to at their own peril just because they're loud on TGO. Like I said, some of what I've seen and heard in advance has fizzled out or changed. What I've heard in the last 48 hours from people in the industry who generally know things in advance has changed directions twice and two people that I've come to trust are now diametrically opposing each other's statements about what the government might be ramping up to do in response to the recent spree killings. I'd just buy whatever you want to buy with the thought in mind that nothing is guaranteed tomorrow. AR pistols and pistol braces have been a finger in the ATF's eye for a while and it's only logical to assume that they might be low-hanging fruit for a President that wants to be perceived as having "Done something". Don't assume there are too many of them to do anything about. Some things can be made legal to own but illegal to transfer, effectively halting the propagation of them beyond the current generation of owners. And that's not insider info... that's just me thinking out loud.

My experience with gun grabbers is that they entice you with compromise on what they cal 'reasonable', then you compromise, and they keep pushing and taking. They dont want us to have guns period. Everything is a step towards that for them. I dont care one bit about bumpstocks, but that was a step...

Call me weird, but I really DO like oddball stuff. Is anyone else here a big fan or collector of the 'unreliable-yet-loveable'? Reason I ask, is that tomorrow morning I'm going to pick up a dream gun. A pistol I've been fantasizing about for nearly 10 years. It's absolutely SLATED online by 8:10 owners, but I don't care. I saw my first one in September 2009 & I've been looking for one ever since. It's an early model, SAO, AMT Backup .380 I know they're terrible carry pieces with all the reliability of a Jennings & a little more weight than a full size 1911, but something about it spoke to me the first time I ever set eyes on one at my friend's house in Florida. The full stainless construction, minimal sights, heel-release 5 round magazine, 1911 styling with the polished slide..........I know, I absolutely know, it probably won't get through a full mag without an issue or failure, but dammit, it's such a nice looking little thing. Anyone else got a shameful secret love? There must be someone else out there with a Jiminez they'd never carry, but never ever sell........ (Stock photo, but I'm going to be sleepless tonight, waiting to get one!)

Custom Mauser with scope, used by Elmer Keith

Yes, really. We've got 2 kids in elementary school. I spent the first 6 months of both their lives running on less than 3 consecutive hours of sleep, and I forgot all kinds of stuff (shoes, keys, meals, stuff I was supposed to do at work...) but I never forgot that I had a kid. As a parent, there is never a day when you're not on duty. The responsibilties change over the years, but it's a lifetime commitment. If a "check the back seat" alarm saves 1 life, it's absolutely worth it. But the fact that they exist at all is a sad commentary on where society has gone.

That was before we entered the “Idiocracy” phase.

Being a parent is a tough job.....but the interview is pretty cool!

If you need a reminder that your child is in the back seat of your car your child should be taken from you for their safety's sake.

I love that collar Darby has on. I have tested it with a strong flashlight and I can see the collar up to about 50 yards so it is well worth the money. I think you can buy the collars seperately from the Tracking device also. I am looking to buy a new one soon. I think I am going to get my next one from Chewy as they have one made by Frisco that looks like what I am looking for and it has great reviews. You may want to check it out also.

I am not sold on that collar idea, maybe for a hunting dog or something, but for a home pet I would think it would have some drawbacks. If someone steal the dog, then the collar would be the first to go, if lost, then you would have to depend on someone downloading the app, probably replacing the battery, then finding the owner. Some, like me, would go through that trouble, but some will not. Tile https://www.thetileapp.com/en-us/products, kind of works like the collar, but it only shows the last location when the app lost contact with the chip. @bersaguy does the collar work like the tile chip? If it does, maybe that is a cheaper way to achieve the same thing.

Ha ha ha...If we get to the point we can't use a bolt action rifle, we won't be able to use a black powder rifle either.

I have not loaded any 32 S&W longs as of yet. I have only loaded 327 rounds. I know I have loaded the 327 to 32 H&R specs not sure if I've loaded any to S&W long. I will look at my load data tonight and respond. I buy my 32 S&W longs at Academy.

Some years ago when I was still entertaining dreams of an African safari, I got an Eddystone Enfield rebuilt in .416 Rigby. That action was as slick as frog snot!!! Eventually, I sold it to a friend who really did get to take it on safari. But, sometimes I wish that I had just loaned it to him instead of selling it. That was one really sweet rifle!

I’m pretty sure I would have laughed in his face believing that he was joking. That’s stupid. What an idiot. I bet they were hotter walking into the store than just sitting in the car’s A/C. Was she in a parking space? I might have just driven around the parking lot at 0.1mph just for fun, lol. This is another one of the reason’s I have really dark windows on my truck. I hate it when other people try to mind my own business.

Why? We have reminders for headlights and seatbelts. Those are both pretty dang obvious, much more so than a little person asleep in the back seat. I think it's a good idea, and I'm glad some companies are offering the feature.

Old school Roy Baker Pancake is a good choice.

This is SO sad....

That’s awesome. $90 is a small price to pay for that kind of piece of mind, I’ll look into one, plus I like that reflective collar too. Handsome and useful. Thanks for for the insight!

That's cool...if you want a Glock.

The older I get the more I do that very thing.

What I see happening is a man making $15 a hour, going thru a divorce and his soon to be exwife wants to punish him so she throws the red flag. Where is he going to come up with the money to for a lawyer to fight?

Given the support of red flag laws by many members here, I'm certainly not going to post anything provocative, but I assure you I will not be in prison. I also would be careful with "it isn't going to happen", given the rapid pace at which many members are willing to drive us to the edge of the cliff, forfeiting every right that doesn't matter to them on the way. But hey, you have a sweet 401K, right?

From what I can tell watching live PD, you and I might be two of the nine people in the country that have a DL thats legit.

All I've purchased lately is a credible amount of pvc pipe and end caps.

don't duck hunt, do ya....?

Oh, I’m absolutely not taking a win for granted. I’ve never seen hate like this in my lifetime in an election. The Republicans better get out and vote. And who cares if he will take your state; get out and vote anyway. That way we don’t have to listen to the snowflakes whine and cry about the popular vote. I suspect the Democrats will be dragging people out of their homes to the polls, they will have buses lined up, and will kick in every kind of voter fraud know to man, to try to win. Other than the last election; I don’t think there has ever been a more important time in my life to vote. A large percent of our country wants to be Socialist, destroy Capitalism, and spread the money of those who work equally among everyone; including those that refuse to work. No variation of that can work and leave our country free.

To me all guns are relatively cheap these days....and Trump not doing anything...hahaha like he back door'd the bumpstock ban...I wouldn't trust him with anything when it comes to guns....also if republicans don't turn out to vote don't be so sure about a re-election...i'll vote for the guy but TN is always a lock anyways.

Stopped in at the local package store to get a bottle of I.W. Harper. Found they had Tincup, grabbed a bottle. I had read on here that it was a good bourbon. Cracked that bad boy open a little while ago and it is really smooth. Oh and I did get the I.W, Harper too.
