I’ll take #2

It’s about people keeping jobs the only qualification for is mouth running.

It is. Had a bit of a heath scare. Came back negative for cancer on Thursday. I'd just got finished working 18 12 hour days. Took the boys out riding go-carts and a bunch of other stuff the afternoon after the appointment. I was horse playing with them Thursday afternoon and destroyed my ankle. I'm 50 years old with 12 and 14 year old boys. I was told they'd keep me young. LOL

As a kid I had so many toy guns without the orange tip. Though I get why they started....

Or your 20th

This is a rare one fellas and its near flawless! I thought about getting into competitive shooting at one point but that ship sailed a many years ago. This trigger breaks at less than a 1/2 pound and is one of the best shooters that one can buy.. a few of the pictures didn't upload so if additional pictures are needed please reach out and let me know....NO TRADES PLEASE!

Thank you all for the prayers, They worked. 7/11/24, up at 4 am. At hospital at 5 am. Prep started at 5:45 am. Emergency surgery held my start until 11:50 am. Woke up in recovery at 3:50 pm with giant crappie all around me. Laying on the bed I was able to kick my left leg over my head. Answered all the questions right and was transported to my ICU bed. My transporter reloads 45 ACP so that was a great slow trip. To much light and noise to sleep, room across from nurse's station. 4 monitors would go off loud with every finger movement. Heart rate maintained 52%. 7/12/24 3:40 am transported for MRI and CT. Lot of stuff needs fixed/replaced in my room. I made a list and wanted to see the head bedpan machinic and his boss. I didn't get the offer and left the list taped to the door. 6:40 am the doctor came by. The 14X19X27 CM brick came out almost whole. Want to go home today? Yes. Then show us you can eat your food. Pancake and scrambled eggs were like sand and granola was like gravel. Not enough bites. Lunch was cheap nasty tuna in gravy, ate enough for a release. Home at 3:55pm and a nap. 6:40 pm 90% of a good can of tuna with half a cracker with each bite. Half liter Coke shook 3 times helped. Got help setting laptop in lap at 8: pm. The space in my head gives me a double echo to all sounds. May never get better or go away. 5 lb weight limit, no lifting or lowering face/head to see, no steps/climbing for 20 days as of now. Hospitals and doctors don't like sharing time/patient while there. I think stomach is better some. The 2 might have been connected, will see over the next few days. My wife brought me the filled drug caddy after my dinner (and explained each to me, as if I want to know.) Told her 3 times to slow down for all I heard was mumble. She left saying something, another mumble.

I’ve developed a bit of an addiction to them. Curious if others on here were bitten by the same bug.

Withdrawing

I’m still not convinced as you all. Trump crossed that line with bump stocks already (for the record I don’t own one and never will). Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Nor does the RP leadership here in this state seem to not care much for us either, except at election time. Most the time we get ignored.

I had some kind of nearly life size toy M16 as a kid but pretty sure it was not Mattel. All I recall is that it had some ratchety, revving sound when you pulled the trigger, like other plastic toy guns of the time.

Up for sale is my Sears Ted Williams Model 100 lever action. It is chambered in .30-30. It’s basically a Winchester model 94. I’m guessing it’s mid-70’s. I picked this up from Chance77 in 2022. It came with the side plate for the scope. I added the vintage Aimsport scope. I did refinish the wood. The factory finish was meh and the walnut turned out great with a hand rubbed oil finish. I sighted it in last fall and it shoots great. Asking $600. For sale to Tennessee residents who can legally own a firearm. Located in Nashville.

I’m currently on the hunt for a S&W Model 10 with a 4” barrel and the tapered barrel. I would be interested in the older, pre-model 10 .38s or victory models as well. If anyone has one they’d consider selling my number is (615) 925-9979. Thank you for your consideration.

I'm pretty sure I had one of these

Or 50th or 60th.

A fantastic bike

I've never owned one but I've been lucky enough to have lots of trigger time behind race guns from Cheely, Brazos and a few others. They are like shooting high end sewing machines

In my personal opinion, every state has failed to uphold the 2nd. EVERY single gun law is a violation of the 2nd.

New to the forum but not 2011's. big fan and have been fortunate enough to see under the hood at the Staccato factory back when it was still putting out STI's and recently after allot of growth. Not all guys can afford a Ferrari in their garage, but with a little bit of saving most can put one in their safe! Try an Atlas Erebus sometime.....

If the bullet was 3000fps, a shutter speed of 1/8000 would roughly give you 4.5" worth of bullet travel. But if the bullet was faster it would be a bit more bullet travel. That said, even taking the FPS to 4000fps would only increase your bullet travel by 1/3rd. That looks like greater than 4.5" of bullet travel based on the size of his head, that's assuming that the path of the bullet is on the same vertical plane as his head. If the bullet is closer to the camera than Trump, then it could very well be 4.5" of bullet travel.

Into more DEI training? Deflect Evade Imitate.....heads won't roll on this, it will be talked to death but I see no real results coming. I hope I'm wrong.

I am starting down the list to call and ask them why they are receiving donations from such organizations if they are such strong supporters if the 2nd as they claim, if they plan on returning the donations, and if not, how they reconcile that with who they claim to be. I'm sure the answers will be enlightening. (There's your joke for the day)

Hey, if we're going to start trotting out each other's lunatics, I'm going to need to add more storage capacity to TGO's infrastructure for all of the posts and pictures.

Indeed they do. A long time ago in a land far away, I thought my ticket was about to be punched. I said a prayer, and a calmness came over me that I’ve never hadn’t experienced since my baptism. It wasn’t my time. I also believe in miracles. I was told by doctors on a Friday that I would be cut open on Monday for a medical issue. It didn’t happen, and I left the hospital a few days later with meds and a lifestyle change. It wasn’t Trump’s time!

So God can do anything. Creation of the universe or causing a shooter to miss his intended target. He could very well have turned the bullet into dust if He so desired. Our point isn't to say God didn't do that or couldn't do that, it's to say that we simply don't know. Faith his taught me that knowledge of God's work is positional. When it's time for you to do His bidding, you'll know. Others around you may not however, because it's not theirs to know. That's your personal relationship with Him at work. Example.. recently I was in Phoenix AZ recently, having breakfast in a hotel with my son. It's just the two of us at a 4 seat table. The room fills up pretty quick and a family comes walking out with their plates looking for a seat. I overheard them talking about splitting up, so i offered to move us to a 2 seater nearby. Just common courtesy stuff. As we're sitting there, i kinda felt this draw to talk to the gentlemen, so i asked where he was from. Turns out he's from foothill ranch CA. I said "huh, that's funny, that's the only place i've ever been in CA". He chuckled and went back to eating. Oddly, i feel this pull to hear more from the guy, so i offered up "yea we're from TN" to which he replied, "oh wierd, we just got back from there. A little town in Wilson County".... which is where i live. I asked why he's in Pheonix and it turns out his family is there because his sister is undergoing her last chemo treatment from breast cancer. I just casually said "Oh man, I'll be praying for her" and to my shock, he says "OH THANK YOU SO MUCH, COME ON MOM!" and jumps up to have my pray over them. I am NOT a people person. I chat on here a fair amount because i like the community, but that pull.. i just couldn't describe it. It was like I HAD to know more about this guy. That was God at work, through the holy spirit. I have no doubt. Did I work some kinda miracle? absolutely not, but was I a tool to help this family with their journey? Yeah, I believe I was the tool that God used at that moment. His sister rang that bell btw.

Wouldn't that be quiet the plot twist nobody is expecting. One thing that may be armchair quarterbacking but did cross my mind is the following. I read somewhere that a local officer confronted the guy as he was climbing the ladder but the shooter pointed his rifle a him so he backed away. You can also see a lot of agitated onlookers at the beginning on the video. So you are in the middle of a rally and see someone that you suspect is about to take a shot at the ex-POTUS. Why not scream "Gun" as loud as you can? If you are LEO, simply discharging your weapon into the ground would achieve the desired effect. Is it just that everyone was way too afraid to be the "person that overreacted"? While it seems extremely likely that the entire incident was based on poor planning, I also chalk a lot of it up to complacency and the status-quo.

Would never consider I was being dismissed. There are a few people on here that I find offensive, Chuck is not one of them even when we disagree. Thanks I will revert to the preacher in me now I do not believe God cares in the slightest who leads what country nor if any of our nations even exist. When the Hebrews asked for a king, what did God tell Samuel? they have not rejected you they have rejected me (God) God did not appoint a king but told Samuel to harken unto the people. God is not interested in what a person aspires to or achieves. He does not mold every day of the world. He set it in motion and placed us here with free will as stewards of his creation. His will is that His word will stand throughout time regardless of man not because of mankind. I believe that each of us has a job to do but if we refuse God will send another IF it pleases him. Otherwise it will be set upon us as failure at judgement whether the task is done or not. That said, I do believe this nation will continue to decline as long as we refuse to acknowledge the true and living God. I also believe that decline is inevitable. We can delay it but it will come to all nations.

Donald Trump - Missed Me - T-Shirt – Nine Line Apparel

Oddly enough, other than MSM saying it was an AR-15, both sides have been uncommonly quiet about gun control. Usually after any shooting MSM goes right to gun control. Curious indeed? I seriously doubt Trump will go anti-gun. He knows very well who his base is and where they stand.

Here's to hoping

Near death experiences change the way one thinks, and very quickly. Not saying it will change him in that respect but he is changed.

the Bible tells us it rains on the just and unjust alike. It also says man has a prescribed time to die.

I think a common misconception is that "something bad happened, so where is God?", asserting that he doesn't exist because things didn't go their way. God is always working, but that doesn't have to mean sunshine and rainbows through all things. The bible details immense amounts of suffering by even the most devout. We were given free will by the creator on high, but that's here, on earth. God saved a lot of people that day, but didn't save that firefighter/father. Why? I don't know, but God does. Always working doesn't mean we will always understand the plan. God doesn't owe us an explanation. That said, I would say its crazy to think that Trump has some personal protection order that prevents death from God himself. He's just a man.

I stopped trying to explain matters of personal faith to people who aren't genuinely interested in understanding them a long time ago. Your objective here isn't to understand, it is to argue. I don't have the time to spare for that, nor the interest.

I think you underestimate the public's ability to forget things and overestimate the left's ability to hold anything against their own.

Told you. I haven't stopped at 12. Lol
