We as a people have gotten way to easy on POSs that commit crime!!!

Once they have enough EV's on the road they will begin having the problems in Summer too!........JMHO

I bought myself a snow shoveler.

I suppose that everyone has to make their own judgement about this kind of thing, but I don't want to see a world (San Francisco for example) where it's okay to steal. I see it as being less about the stolen merchandise than it is about a civil society. If a store decides to just let people walk out with whatever they can carry, the cost is transferred to the rest of us, even if it is a tax write-off. I think we've all seen videos of gangs of organized thieves going into a store and taking everything they can carry. I don't want our country to be like that. And while I agree 100% that it's tragic that the RK employee was killed, I admire him for having the courage and conviction to do his part to slow the downward slide we find ourselves in.

I got called in as reserve for our loss prevention at Sears in high school. Mostly just blocking exits and trying to funnel them where we wanted them. I did end up in a wrestling match one time. The guy made it to his car and was fighting with one handcuff on. I managed to get the other cuff hooked around the seat so he couldn't swing. He gave up when the cops arrived. In retrospect, that was really stupid for $5.35/hr and maybe a couple hundred in merch. Most places have a policy against that now... just let them go if they make it out of the store.

I don't know if the store employee was loss prevention or not, doesn't matter. I spent a little better than 5 years working in loss prevention. I must say it's mostly a job for the young and dumb, which was fitting for me at the time. I've had shoplifters threaten to shoot me and I just fought them harder. I was in more physical altercations then I care to count. And for what? A couple of hundred dollars worth of a giant corporation's stuff that they are going to write off if it walks out the door, while I was earning $7-11 an hour. I count my blessings daily that I was never seriously hurt doing that job. I enjoyed the hunt, and the capture immensely back then, but wouldn't do it for any amount of money today. When you do that work you eventually pick up a 6th sense for when someone is going to shoplift. I often get that feeling when I'm out shopping and I'll post up and watch from a distance. I have absolutely no intention of doing a thing, there is just some satisfaction watching my hunch play out. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

This just in....he's now a resident of the Knox County hotel complete with a zebra suit, shiny bracelets, and orange kicks.

Hey guys, so I’m jumping headfirst into the super Moto thing. first off it has a rebuilt title I bought it that way. The guy said it was from a theft. I highly doubt it because it has frame sliders on it that have rash on them but there’s no rash on anything else on the bike. By saying this, it still rides shifts and runs like it should have put around 2000 miles on it in the Twisties East, TN. It does have a small dent in the tank from my kid trying to help daddy out by putting the bike up when it started to rain. It also has a flat spot about 8000 RPM where it feels like it’s cutting fuel for a second . I bought a power commander five to throw on it and have not tuned it yet. Now that I’ve scared everybody from buying it , let’s list a couple good things about it. 2012 with 11.5k miles Very stout bike but comfortable to ride all day ( detuned cbr1000rr motor) I’ve owned 68 bikes and rode plenty others and outside of a couple bmw bikes and triumphs this one is one of the most comfortable and easy to handle bikes I’ve thrown a leg over yoshimura r77 exhaust power commander V newer Michelin power sport tires I do not have the passenger pegs. I have no idea where I put them. I’ll take them off every bike I have because I don’t take passengers that’s the whole point of having a bike for me. feel free to contact me at 615-390-7867 with any questions I will give you everything I know and nothing I don’t. located near Opry mills mall May do some trading, but really like to sell as I have my eye on a Ktm 450exc which is undoubtedly, gonna get me in a lot of trouble asking $4500

Rifle has been sold.

I took some Thailand grips and Amazon colt medallions and made these. Took some grinding, sanding and staining.

Had you put this up a month ago my family would have just had to do without Christmas.

I've been following this thread and honestly, I just don't know what to say. It seems that human life has no value anymore. Taking a life over petty theft? What does that say about us as a society? In this case, I hope all those terrible stories you hear about what happens to young, pretty boys in prison are true.

Thompson 50 Cal. Muzzle loading rifle. Dual set triggers, bore in excellent condition as is entire rifle. Williams rear sight, much more precise than the original leaf sight. All accessories ( 300 caps, 300 balls, all tools.) included. All you need is powder ( black or pyrodex) to shoot. $350.00 or trade. ( firearms only)

I was not really expecting any gifts. When ever anyone ask me what I wanted I told them I wanted 1 pound of tightly packed $5.00 bills. I have not got a gift yet ???

At least you wont shoot your eye out with that. After a bit this one might hit you in the head with that shovel!

I've killed a bunch of deer with a .270. .A 270 was my first deer rifle over 25 years ago. I've tried about every bullet on the market. Years ago the Winchester Silver Tips were great. About 10 years ago something changed and they didn't do as good of a job. Most recently I've run Hornady American Whitetail 130 gn with good success and it's a pretty budget friendly round. I've had two bad experiences with Remington Core-Lokt in .270. One was probably the biggest buck I ever shot at. I found a 2" long chunk of rib bone on the ground where I shot it, but the deer made it to a river and drowned. I spent several hours in a pair of leaky waders with yeppers in the teens trying to find that deer unsuccessfully. The second issue was a small buck at 20 or so yards. Didn't even act like he was hit. Slowly walked in around the tree that I was in and I put another one in him. Upon inspection I had hit where I was aiming both times. I've used Core-Loct in other bigger slower calibers, such as 30-30 with much success. As my rifle collection has grown and my hunting locations have dwindled I find myself leaving the .270 in the safe in favor of other guns. Mostly because my .270 is set up to shoot longer distances and I'm not seeing those distances in most of my hunting situations currently. The caliber excels in the 100-300 yard range, and 300 is my personal limit. Depending on the round, you will typically see around 6 inches of drop at 300 yards, and another 10 inches at 400. (Hint: a 200 yard zero will put you 1.5" high at 100 yards. A 200 yard zero will put you in the kill zone anywhere from point blank to 300 yards with minimal holdover.) I'm running a 6.5x20x50 scope, which makes 300 yard shots fairly easy. I have found that under 100 yards and particularly under 50 yards I have not had good experiences with a .270. The majority of deer I've killed in the 100-300 range have dropped. While the majority of deer I've shot with a .270 at under 50 yards have run a good ways. I attribute this to the bullet moving too fast and not expanding. I suspect a heavier bullet moving slower would remedy the situation, but I haven't messed with it, as I carry something like a 45-70 or a 12 ga slug gun when hunting in those situations.

Congrats on the 700, the .270 and MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Praying for the family of the lost young man, Tristan M. Smith, 23, of Powell. As far as the killer, hope he rots in jail, then burns in hell!

Great looking grips and gun @willis68! I just put a set of VZ's on my (new to me) 1984 S&W Model 66 last Friday. Run great with Dry Fire. Too cold for these old bones to shoot 'em this weekend, but plan to run them tomorrow.

Glock 48 Night sights. 5 magazines. No box. $450 must come to Fayetteville. 9316258386

It’s a daily habit. TGO is a unique space on the Internet.

I suppose it depends on how you look at it. Lot of facets there. When I left the profession in 2010 the policy had changed from "get then back in the store by any means necessary" to "ask them politely to give back in the store and if they decline, get as much information as possible but let them go". I too would hate to see a society where it's acceptable to just walk out of a store with whatever you want. But our society has become so litigious that retailers have found that it's cheaper to let the merchandise walk. Of course the alternative is to lock up high risk merchandise. I hate going into a retail store more than about anything, but I especially hate the thought of having to track down a key holder to make a purchase. There are no winners here other than the thieves.

Correct, for purchases through Blue Label dealers (like GT Dist.) Not eligible for direct-from-Glock blue label. That requires active or retired LE/Mil creds, active penal-colony creds, or active LE recruit. https://us.glock.com/en/buy/blue-label-program

I have 2 of them, no qualms... they are my daily..

I can tell I'm not one of these people because I've never been fast enough to see @Grand Torino knives still available for purchase. By the time I see them they are already sold. Usually within a few minutes.

So the VZ Operator 2 grips fit my King Cobra like a glove, absolutely perfect grip for my favorite revolver I have ever owned

Prayers to the family of the victim of this POS. Glad they caught him and hopefully the courts will do their job...

My first thought was for the opposite condition. But just maybe being caught and tried will provide some answers and a bit of solace for the victim's family. In either case, I wish for the shooter to hang or fry! Yes, I know that's hardly likely anywhere anymore; but I long for the days of justice. Not just a slap on the wrist.

Damn. Hope the catch the SOB soon.

aimpoint, vortex, and eotech all make solid magnifiers. The holosun 3x is good as well for a more budget friendly version. Each of those come with solid mounts, if your PRO is on a riser might want to look at the unity options for the higher magnifier.

I don’t know but she’s hot and definitely trouble with two fingers on the trigger. I didn’t know you could hold a lever action like that. Yep, definitely trouble.

Thank you for the replies and information. It is of great help. She will get started with the lifetime permit process now. She loves this country and cannot wait to become a citizen.

I contacted VZ Grips, I love their operator 2 Grips for the Colt Cobra, they said that even though it states on their website's these are not for the King Cobra, they claim many folks do report they fit perfectly. They said if I order them and they do not fit, they will give me a full refund. So, I have a set coming
