I do. And you do. And Daniel does. Core morals, I believe, tend to be societal. However moral values that extend past those cores or even some interpretation thereof is up to each individual. Generally with the younger or “woke” folks, we are talking more about values that fall on the fringes, items that effect smaller and smaller groups of people. I’m happy there are people trying to care for something. But you cannot force your morality onto someone else. You can’t force beliefs onto someone else. Changing someone takes two way communication, empathy, reasoned debate and understanding. And most of the time today, neither side of any discussion is willing to give the other a fair shake. Arguments are made with emotion and shaming and that’s why instead of making progress, society is regressing and heading towards a downfall.8 points

I believe you genuinely feel this way, but it’s only your truth. Therefore this isn’t a personal attack on you. It’s easy to dismiss something, someone or idea’s if you don’t completely and fully understand them or if your lifestyle has not and never will fall in line with the subject you don’t care for. I think the term woke is overused. I say it just to make heads explode. For me woke falls into the category of the so-called golden rule we were taught as kids. It’s that simple, yet people resist. Very few communities are more childlike than the gun community. We’ll shyt on just about everything and everyone, but when it comes to our guns, it’s time for civil war. It’s amazing to watch. In general I pay attention to the people who have no empathy. They’re usually the assholes in any group. Even people I disagree with on certain issues, I can usually put myself in their place, understand their reasoning and still disagree based upon my experiences as long as the other person’s desires cause no intentional harm.2 points

The problem with these woke folks is that they're constantly out there looking for new problems to whine and cry about. They're like a bunch of kids running around with a stick in hand looking for a new bear to poke.2 points

Vintage 7x57 Mauser sporter - receiver reads: fab. nat. d'armes de guerre herstal-belgique Came out of an estate of a friend of mine. His father had it built by a gunsmith in Arkansas sometimes in the 50s. It hasn't been fired in more than 40 years. Bore looks great, always stored in humidity controlled storage. Numbers match on receiver, bolt and barrel. Interesting looking muzzlebreak. Has a Redfield mount, not sure of brand of steel scope with A.O., but looks like an early Weaver. No other marking found on it. I have never shot it. $750 for a classic deer rifle1 point

I cannot say enough about Randy and Harris Combative Training Group. This was another outstanding class. I've taken several classes with Randy at Harris Combative TN/GA/AL Training Group and have never walked away disappointed. Randy has an incredible amount of patience and is a brilliant instructor. This class focused on bug (conceal carry guns/back up) guns. If you are going to carry one to protect yourself, you should be proficient and comfortable using it. We began with the basics, dry fire, dry fire with a penny, then on to live fire. We used dummy rounds to clear jams and see if we are jerking the trigger. At the end, we did the Bakersfield test and saw the results of our training. I was quite pleased. When it comes to firearms, I don't think you can ever get enough training. I'm so glad Harris Combative takes the time to come out to Windrock Shooting Range so I don't even have to travel far for these valuable classes. Best part is that Randy makes training/learning fun, we had a lot of laughs but most importantly, I walked away with a lot more knowledge and confidence than before the class. Thank you Randy!1 point

Picked this up at the gunshow today, $300 OTD tax and background included. I got home and ran 250 rounds of Armscor 36 grain HV .22 LR hollow points through it. The trigger in double action is heavy but not intolerably so. Its not a target pistol by any means, but for a trail gun/around the farm beater its not bad. The single action trigger break is surprisingly light and short. I had one misfire in 250 rounds and it light off on the second go around so it may have been the ammo. I have not yet tried it with the .22 wmr, but I am very happy with the pistol so far especially for the price. As far as accuracy I havent bench rested it, but it is coke can accurate off hand at 25 yards and considering the shooter thats pretty good in my book. If you have considered one I highly reccomend it as of now, Ill update if anything changes.1 point

I can’t believe this is still here. By the way with crimped shells it’s certainly 7+1. I recently did me up a 590 shokwave the way I wanted it and man I wish I hadn’t. This is such a good deal. If I didn’t think I’d have to take a $400 bath to sell it you would marking this as sold.1 point

That is indeed a 715-V4. V for vent rib. 4 for 4" barrel. They also made a 715 without the rib, and a 715-VH which had the rib and a heavy barrel. So, that fatter part where it says 'Dan Wesson' extends to the end of the barrel. I had a 715 VH6 for many years, should have kept it.1 point

You can also form 1 the receiver without any of the other parts. If you want to save money and get the "good" parts as they become available. Your OAL part of the form 1 gets interesting as far as figuring it out, but that's not a big deal either.1 point

Fyi, he quoted me $200-225 for a wood stock. And yeah, I'd kinda like to watch him do it! He rechambered my Ruger .223 earlier this year & did a fantastic job of it.1 point

Sure, Retirement. 52 years old, 18 years of Federal Service (Army and Civilian) and counting. Seeking out a place to enjoy my pension and retirement in the next few years. No family left any longer (family had sold off the mountain properties and what not over the years). For the wife (from ranchland of Oregon) and I (mountains of Idaho), parents had passed, extended family not really close. Army burned me of deserts. All of Southern Idaho is desert. Snow. Got too old to really want to deal with snow and months of sub-zero temperatures. Playing in the snow (snowmobiles) required a 3-hour drive from the Boise valley. Crime. MS13 moved in with the Californians and brought daily gang shootings (red vs. blue) at the convience stores, drug deals over my back fence and local LE had no clue how or desire to deal with it. Home invasions, car thefts, heavy (why we live in Stewart County now) also, I feel safer driving in Nashville now than I did in the Boise Metro area. Water. Lakes there are crap, at least the lowland ones. Wanted to live near more natural water and natural green(refernce the desert comment above). Longer warm weather. We like riding motorcycles and more summer activities than winter. Had an Army buddy settle here from his time at Ft. Campbell. We visited a few times and Stewart County reminds me alot of the small county I grew up in. Property value (Don't hate me over this one becuase I know it is an evil we helped perpetuate.) We sold our urban, suburb, 1200 sq ft house on 1/8 acre that we still owed on and had enough left over to pay cash for 2 acres, 1800 sq ft, build a shop, pay off the cars, pay cash for a new bike, used boat, and stuff a bunch of money in the bank. So that's it.1 point

I have no idea what this is about, but the very fact that you're able to use TGO to buy and sell without a high chance of being molested by scammers, like on some sites, is directly attributable to the fact that we have a corps of moderators who do it out of the goodness of their hearts. Let me know if that's what is bothering you and I can help make a change for you.1 point

Well I picked them up on Tuesday, the first one is a 19-4 357mag/w 4" Bbl. and the mod. 14-4 38spl/w a 8 3/8" Bbl. The only flaw that I can find is on the 14-4 it has a scratch just below the cylinder latch other than that they are both in very good condition.1 point

Location is Murfreesboro. On a form 4. Receiver will stay in safe until stamp comes back, which is unfortunately just how NFA transfers work. No trades, please. NFA is pretty simple for individuals. $200 cashiers check, Form 4 in duplicate (I provide), fingerprint cards (I have them for you to take to a mailbox place to have done), 2 passport photos (CVS). Mail and wait. Gun has never had a malfunction and shoots incredibly flat and soft. 50 round mags feel endless. I have about 800 rounds through the gun but only 50 through this factory barrel, as I was using a CMMG barrel most of the time I have had it. $4,700 for everything, optic included- open to modifying ammo package partial trades considered. I’m probably getting a Wilson Combat EDCX9 (really regret selling the ones I had) or a new WC SFT9. Ed Brown, Nighthawk, custom shop from the usual suspects, as long as it’s 9MM. FN PS90, on form 4 Factory (cut/threaded by TROS- known for quality, not turnaround times) 10.4” barrel CMMG flash hider Man Kave trigger Man Kave extended charging handle QD front and rear sling mount Design Machine Aimpoint mount 8 50 round magazines (w/delrin rollers) (update- mags are brand new) Box, papers, stuff, original parts. $1750, optic not included I will not sell ammo unless gun sells. 2,285 AE 5728A- (priced at ~.60/rd) 550 FN SS198LF green tip- (priced at ~.80/rd) 1,433 FN SS195LF hollow point (priced at ~.80/rd) Updated: the used mags pictures above were swapped by FN for brand new ones. All of the used ones had a little blemish in the same spot that didn’t affect function, but I noticed when I took pics and it bugged me. I bought all of the previous ones at the same time, must have been the same lot0 points

I'm short on free time these days and even shorter on patience, so I'm going to do us all a favor and give you a 30-day vacation from TGO. If you come back in two months and are still intent on trolling, I'll make it permanent.0 points

When the officers were trying to cuff him, that ATF agent sounded like a typical street thug- "I'm not getting on the ground", "I'm not resisting" (as he is resisting), "I have a medical condition", "I can't breathe", "My wife is pregnant". What a jerk drama queen.0 points
