I cannot remember where I heard this. But it goes something like this. You can live in a $5 million house. You can drive $100,000 car. You can own a $3 million boat. When you die, you will not be remembered for any of that. But touch the heart of another human being, and you’ll be remembered forever.

I've seen a bunch of em. Looks like a Pontiac Aztec bred a DeLorean. Not enough bed to be a useful truck. A decent status symbol or climate change virtue signal I guess.

We didn't start the fire. It's been always burnin since the world's been turnin. The flames are just hotter now.......

Speed limit is 45. I'm no genius. That was just basic high school math back when I graduated in 1972. I seriously doubt anybody under 30 could solve this today.

I am not offended. Being born in 1961 I wasn't available to ensure the Acts of congress in 34 and 68 infringing were thrown out as treason. I have voted conservative since the first election I was eligible. I have went into the school when my children were in and let them know they could not force their liberal acceptance issues on my children who were raised with Christian morals. I stand and tell everyone how foolish gun controllers "common sense' is. I have stood in front of a judge and told her she did not have the authority to make me sell my guns. (she backed down) I have refused to obtain a CCW permit because federal case law states that you cannot apply a fee or test to any God given constitutionally guaranteed right. Not because I couldn't pass the test or pay the fees, because it was wrong. I carried before our Tennessee lawmakers saw fit to have "shall issue" permits. Every sheriff's deputy and half of the city police knew it, knew me, and were unconcerned. I stand up for myself and vote for the lesser of two evils. Many voted for the man who used his office and power for sex and lied at every turn because "It's the economy stupid" was a good slogan. I had no reason to have a gun rack in the back window nor carry a firearm in school but I did carry a large lock-back in a sheath on my belt. I took vocational classes and it was a tool like any other. I won't shrink from the fundamental statements made in the bill of rights and other writings of those who wrote them and signed them. I have been counted, my beliefs put a target on my back and that's fine with me. I am tolerant but I don't have to be accepting nor am I to judge others.

The biggest flaw to gov't assistance is the fact that they don't give people a chance to work their way out of poverty. They boot them off the dole before their first paycheck arrives. It's almost as if they want the poor to stay poor and dependent on them.

FBI was looking to change guns after the 1986 Miami shootout. They were, at the time, still using .38 Special and wanted to go to a semi-auto. They started testing 9mm and .45acp. They wanted a cartridge that would have the same terminal performance as their .38 Special 158gr +P semi adjuster HP rounds. At some point, someone brought in a Colt Delta Elite with handloaded ammo. Testing revealed that the 180gr bullet could be shot at the same velocity and hit with the same amount of force BUT have less recoil than a full power 10mm Auto. And since that meant less powder and more air space in the brass case, they had enough room to shorten the case so it would fit In 9mm framed guns. Ta-Da, .40 Smith and Wesson (or .40 short and weak, whatever). Doesn't really matter what you carry as long as you train and shoot with it consistently. Just my .02. Hits count. You WANT cns hits, but in most cases if you damage the chassis, the targets brain will make them stop and assess.

@10-Ring I think you may have missed that Moped got the Glock 21 trade-in which is .45 ACP. Not the Glock 22 which is a .40. So you suggested Moped change his .45 to a respectable caliber . . . oops.

Not really other than MLB has a strict no-gambling policy, for or against your own team doesn't matter. It was meant to eliminate managers or players fixing games (like the 1919 White Sox), but fixing a game only works when betting against your own team, not for it so there's really very little (ie none) indication of corruption in Pete's case. The punishment was meant as a warning to others and Pete was made an example by the Commish.

This is how liberal states operate. They rape the folks that work and have money. Especially the middle class, since a $450 registration isnt a big deal to a rich guy. Then they give it to the folks that dont work, kind of a payment to them to vote democrat.

When I was in HS at Powell, in the late 70s - early 80s, shotguns in the windows of pickup trucks was a common sight in the school parking lot. I myself carried an Uncle Henry folding Hunter knife in a sheath, on my belt, daily. Try that now and you’ll get suspended if your a student.

This is why there are no school systems adopting the teacher carry law. Our higher education system has good and bad points. Pushing socialist agendas and pacifist practices are positively on the bad list.

I've been saying for years that the American educational system has been intentionally brainwashing our kids into stupid, liberal sheep. They've been playing the long game for many years and now its starting to pay off for them.

I once traded rifles with my 7th grade teacher. Times have most definitely changed.

I was a freshman in High School. I went squirrel hunting with a friend. After we went to school and went to class. I had a big Ford LTD 4 door like a tank lol I had put a old 22 cal Ithaca saddle gun single shot in the back seat forgot about it My fault I was 14 someone saw it I got called to principal office. He asked why. I told him I was stupid. He agreed and told me to never bring one back. There was not a swat team. No expelling that was the end of it I would be in prison today And we all carried knives No one cared Very thankful I grew up in that timeframe I wish the world was that simple today.

I carried an Old Timer lock back in a sheath on my belt in high school. I never had a question. I've said before, I read an article by an old gun writer who grew up during the depression, he stated he took his 22 rifle to school every day and hunted meat on the way home. He said the teacher put it in the closet with the rest of them. Americans have been duped into it's a gun problem. It's obvious it isn't.

Leftest commies are making guns out to bad all the way around. Over time our great grandchildren will be anti gun and vote out the 2nd. Commies are going to make this country over to their liking. All part of the plan.

I know I'm old but I carried a pocket knife in grade school starting 3rd grade maybe younger. I also brought my father's K-bar and a Nazi dagger that my great uncle took from let's say someone who didn't need it anymore, to school for show and tell. Maybe it's the way we were raised compared to how kids are today, maybe it's the drugs we hand out like candy. I know one thing theirs a lack of respect and accountability, until that changes things will remain messed up.

20 plus years ago, two boys were suspended for having a Smoky Mountain Knife Works catalog in school. We have not stood up against these stupidities until here we are. The adage of putting a frog in a pot of water and turning the heat up slowly comes to mind. I hope the family gets a Johnny Cochran type and tears the school system a new one.

Been waiting for it to go on sale, it's on sale now $75 after $25 off. It's a very good sealer. I've been looking at the "25 year" containers and most of them are nothing more than dried fruits and other dried food vacuum sealed and stored in a dark box. Things like Oatmeal, Mac and Cheese, and a few others freeze dried things you can buy off the shelf are great to seal and save for long periods of time. Just note, you really want a good DARK (non-transparent) bucket to seal them into as well, as light will have a negative impact on it as well. Just figured I'd share it here; not a bad thing to have. Even if you don't get 20 years, but rotate it out every few years, it's still very helpful to have.

Saw one last night by my neighborhood. I was quite surprised had never seen one before. Then driving home today I saw it again. I can’t imagine spending that kind of money on something that looks like it came from back to the future or a terminator movie!

This comes to mine https://dealernfa.com/shop/ria-m60e6-test-fired-10252/

I would say you are twisting my arm but this one is on me. I will take it.

Unfired Ak105 with faux suppressor, bonesteel left fold brace, UTG Pro Ak quad rail and 4 Bulgarian commercial polymer 30rd mags. Looking to move for other projects. $975 I do have 5.45 ammo for sale at .45cpr for those needing some.

It's okay. They make a hog saddle also, but it's out of aluminum. This is for shooting from a trypod. The first time you feel inaccurate, but the more you run one the better it feels. Most guy start with a hog or pig saddle and advice to a arca/picatinny setup depending on the guns that use. I can't see myself not using a trypod at this point, but I've killed probably 400+ hogs at this point and I'm a gray haired man so I believe I'm always right. LOL

I have no idea what I meant here. Maybe I should run for president?

Oh, they are out there, there’s a few in Nashville. I even saw a red one the other day. Damn ugly, every panel is flat except the front bumper. It’s got a curve. Damn ugly.

Glad you're in Nashville or I'd have to ammo my wife

I blame Glock's dumb numbering system. I swear it's as bad as Por-shah's. Must be a Teutonic thing.

Just a quick mod note reminding everyone that posting politics just to post politics should go in the political forum.

I also agree that he'll be added to the HoF this year. The ban was a lifetime ban and that has now ended. It struck me as odd that he wasn't reinstated within the past few years as sports betting has become socially acceptable and very mainstream. It's no longer the world of back room bookies.

I'd already have a couple hundred through it if you didn't live so far away

VP debate bump

This is a fine pistol at a bargain price!!! GLWS!!!

Yup, good guy to have around, hopefully he grows up to eat many rats!

A long time. 15 years or more?

I agree, 100% a Gray Rat snake. Great pest control.

Looks like a juvenile grey rat snake.

Update - we finally made contact with my friend in Black Rock. They lost their house and a bunch of their things - but they are safe. Thankful to put one more person on the safe list!
