I do not oppose you wearing one. I do oppose someone trying to force you to wear one.

I spent the weekend at Tactical Response for Fighting Pistol. It was an amazing experience. I’m still processing some stuff from the class, but I will provide a full AAR in a different thread, but the short and dirty is that I will be back for more, much more.

To anyone that hasn't dealt with the public. You haven't a clue as to what you are missing. A bunch of really good customers that you enjoy dealing with and a few soreheads that you couldn't please them if you gave them a million dollars. But the good customers outweigh the bad ones!!

Over the last decade we've all experienced and witnessed events and periods of ammunition shortages. The two year shortages during the Obama reign taught me a lesson and I had to restrict my match and practice activities to continue on. It was suggested to me by several people, I need to start reloading. Sounds good on the surface until you ask where they're getting their powder and primers from. The point is; if there's an ammo shortage for whatever reason, reloading supplies closely follow. The way I see it; with the political and social climate these days along with civil unrest, unforeseen events, production, circumstances and socialist political agendas, one of these days the 'perfect storm' will arrive. Think that will never happen? I never thought in my lifetime I'd see a small minority of radicals dictate the course and laws of the country, and be treated with 'kid gloves' and get their way and support by the liberal news media and Congress. Cities and states opting to disband and de-fund their only source of protection between civilization and anarchy. I won't mention tearing down statues or renaming military bases and much other nonsense; much less the continued and intensifying 2nd Amendment attacks. How much of the population of Canada, Australia, Mexico, etc. can sit down at their keyboards and order bulk pistol and AR ammunition whenever they wish? Why can't they and how did it get that way? We are in a war for our national identity and survival, government tyranny, radical civil rebellion and the freedoms hard earned by millions of patriots [and families] sweat, blood and tears. We are squandering it away piece by piece and losing the battle one step at a time. How many more times will we be afforded the opportunity to stock up on "things" at reasonable prices and availability??? I suggest next Novembers elections will determine the major concerns we share. We're no longer Unified States of America, much less the 'United States of America'. We're a house divided and the republicans, conservative's and patriots are always playing defense and never going on the offense. As a nation, we're sheep being willingly lead to the slaughter. We vote with our feet, and they're trying to dismember even our feet at the polls with their antics such as; ridding us of the electoral college, voter fraud, illegal alien voting, eliminating in person one day voting and so much more. Shew wee, what a long rant... It's OK, I just swallowed a handful of chill pills.

You can say the same for those that whine that everyone should wear one.

Seen this posted on another site, so some of the points have not been checked out by me, but I do not feel it is wrong.

These are headed to a couple of fine LEO's.... and second....

On one level, I get it, it's a funny meme. But on the other hand, all of the "Kens and Karens" who have been cancelled lately did absolutely nothing wrong. For the 'crime' of sticking up for themselves when they're wronged, they have been cancelled, lost their careers, have significant legal fees, and could lose their freedom. This situation is far more dangerous than I think many people realize. Talk to someone who lived through Castro's Cuban Revolution, or others. It's the same thing happening here. It will continue until someone stops it, and right now no one is stopping it. If you try to stop it, the meek cops who kneel to rioters will suddenly put on their jack boots to stomp all over you. Your thin blue line flag won't get you any favors. You no longer have the right to self defense, or to call the police when you're threatened. And the Karen meme is assisting in this cultural shift.

Seems pretty simple to me. Yes or no. Conditions could change based on circumstances

Your answers are too generic to answer.

It seems appropriate to post this: "... .Musings upon the true meaning of the Fourth of July and it's relation to today's culture... I've noticed that several of my well meaning friends have made various pronouncements as to what " everybody should do " and some of em have passed out backhanded denigrations of those who dont see things their way... They have said they were " selfish, uninformed, ignorant ", etc... This country was founded on the proposition that all men are equal and that government draws its authority, not from kings, experts, well meaning tyrants, despots, mobs, bureaucrats, politicos, and, yes, even well intended individuals; but from the consent of the governed. I say to all ya'll, in the kindest manner possible, your opinion is just that, an opinion... You or I have no warrant to do anything other than to voice that opinion. The truth is that some folks may not see things the way you do... At the end of the day; "... You are responsible for you "... " ...I am responsible to me..."... No individual private citizen has the right to demand that his opinions be imposed on others... We can debate the merits of opinions, nothing more... Remember, there is, indeed, uniformity of thought in the tyrannical lands, as its dangerous not to parrot the " official propaganda line", truthful or not.... We have " The Arena of Ideas " and " Consent of the Governed " here... Lets keep it that way... That, Brothers and Sisters us what the Fourth of July is really about...." That is all... leroy

I will not likely ever be within 100 miles of you. Why is it so important to you that I wear a mask?

I didn't know he was retired Air Force. He got into painting while stationed in Alaska because he was so taken by the scenery up there.

No. The difference is that we do care about other people and want to keep everybody safe.

I have been wanting one of these S&W Model 29-10 44 Magnum's ever since I saw my first Dirty Harry movie. This gun has been at Guns and Ammo in Memphis for sometime. Every time I come into the store I take a look at it. Yesterday I bit the bullet and picked it up. Once I get it to the range I will give an update on how it shoots.

I really don't want to bring down the tone of this very important day. I'm a solitary and usually independent old cuss, but tonight I would ask for some prayers of support for my wife, Susan, and mother-in-law Bettie. And leave it to me to forget his love...Julie. I'm sorry. We lost my brother-in-law Tad this afternoon and I had to tell my wife she'd lost her brother, and then go and tell Bettie that her son was gone. I did it, and that's all I can say. If you can remember them in your prayers for the next few days; I would appreciate it. Thank you.

He was a cool dude. So laid back and made painting look easy. I was reading his bio one time about his stint in the Air Force where he had a leadership role and would have to yell at people. He said once he left the service, he told himself he would never raise his voice to people again.

In all seriousness, her name is Erika Knight. You can find her instagram, but she also owns a company that makes leggings with pockets and belt loops (the shorts she’s wearing are one of her products) that may help make it easier to get the wife to actually wear a gun. https://vakandiapparel.com/

Thank you, Greg. I appreciate the complement. I've found a lot of interesting conversation on this forum. Yep, this poor old horse is dead. I hope we're done here.

Sir, I have always enjoyed your posts and contributions to this forum. I have learned a good deal from that. That being said, I would like to add that you have sufficiently flogged this dead horse.

Then you oppose it. It’s not a difficult question. People no longer have the right to not wear one in many places now.

So a “customer” racked the slide, it jumped off the rail, and the guide rod busted out the front?

They made gar balls out of them where I grew up

Been eating gar for years. Good eating but pain in the ass to clean. Yes, exactly like you show, tin snips and take out the boneless backstraps. A bowfishing buddy and I were to supply fish for a company fish fry. Enough to feed a dozen+ folks. We whacked about 5 good size gar and cut them into nugget size, and into the hot oil they went. It was gone in no time. Never told anyone what kind of fish until it was all eaten. They didn't believe us, thought we were lying. LOL BTW, yes, the eggs are toxic. Meat is fine.

Its not. I couldn't care less if you do or don't wear a mask. I got attacked for my position and am simply defending myself and stating my opinions on the matter. Y'all started this, not me. The vast majority of credible doctors, medical experts and organizations on this whole planet state that wearing masks does indeed help slow the spread of Covid-19. Many cities and businesses agree and require people to wear masks. I also agree. Of course this is the internet. You can always find somebody who will back your opinion as well. What you choose to believe is up to you. I have no intentions of forcing anybody wear a mask. Just bear in mind that some of the places you go just might. Really, how hard is it just to wear a mask? Its nothing. Hardly any inconvenience at all. But, ask yourself and be honest, is wearing a mask that much of an imposition for you or does it just piss you off that someone else is telling you you have to wear one and this is just you're way of rebelling?

Sorry, prayers for you & yours.

Sorry for your loss. Praying for y'all

I know it was a hard task to be the bearer of such grim news, hipower. But at least they got it from someone in the family. Condolences to the family on your loss. May his memory be a blessing.

Yeah the eggs are supposedly toxic but the way I dressed this Gar , I only cut the skin , opened him up and took out the loins . This way of doing it doesn't even cut into the guts at all.

We use one of his comments at work from time to time. "We don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents."

Covid is 99.44% politics.

This happened to me a couple days ago. I went to Popeyes and ordered a spicy chicken sandwich and fries. When I got home, I began eating the sandwich and discovered it had no spice. I called and spoke to a manager, she said just come by and get the correct sandwich. I asked do I need my receipt, she said no, just say I spoke to a manager. So I went back, and the first thing the window clerk said (after I explained the mixup) is "Do you have your receipt?" and "where is the other sandwich". I explained what the manager had told me, she called to someone, and here comes another kid, and he tells me "where is my sandwich" . No less than four people came to the window all asking the same thing, even after explaining I had already bit into the other sandwich. I finally got my correct sandwich, but it was handed to me real reluctantly and in a rude manner. I wasn't going to make a fuss there at the window and be labeled a racist, and feel even corporate will get me nowhere, so just let it go. But it just goes to show you that customer service has gone to poop, but so have customers and it's up to each of us to step away.

So it's over-reported and underreported. It's seriously deadly and is also >.05 death rate. Cases are skyrocketing while testing is skyrocketing but percentages of test vs. positives are down. It affects churches but not protest. If you wear a mask you are scared sheeple but morally superior, if you don't you are a selfish, unconcerned, anti-vac conspiracy nut. Also, if you believe mandates attached with criminal code penalities without legal criminal code are unconstitutional but you agree with the idea at the moment you are normal, but If you stand against it in principal and practice, you don't care about other people and blindly follow Trump. CDC and other health officials have admitted they lied and fudged numbers, yet science and their stats are irrefutable. If you debate anything, you hate whatever the opposite is.... Have I missed something?

That's actually kind of cool.

It has to do with how you are raised and manners. Nothing more or nothing less.

While I agree that saying nothing is tacitly giving permission, I'd also note that there are a certain number of folks who have given themselves permission to act like this and nothing anyone says to them will convince them of the error of their ways.

I've felt from the beginning that when we're at the point of debating the utility of the vaccine widely available, with all the conspiracy theory sure to come, we'll be back to whatever passes as normal for the country.

You knocked it out of the park my friend.

Buddy of mine as that Smith scandium/titanium snub nose 44mag. The real fun is to load a few 44spl and 1 or 2 44mag and give the cylinder a spin. Each trigger pull is a surprise.

It won’t shoot worth a dime, send it to me for proper testing. Be sure to send at least 1000 rounds of ammo so that proper testing can be performed. At that time I will tell you if it’s worth you keeping or not, most likely it won’t be and I’ll just take care of it for you. VERY NICE BUY, ENJOY

I first picked it up at the stockyards decades ago. It basically means someone who buys something with full intent on resale. After doing shows for so many years i can pick out the veterans at it. More a cutthroat crew to deal with than at the stockyards.

This kind of stuff makes me fuming mad!
