Seems like an inefficient way to till up the field. :0)

One is to make sure you have a good sight picture (three dots properly aligned), and the other is for target ID and to see what you are aiming at. In tandem, they can make you much more effective.

Glad you decided to join in. Welcome!

Does an AFG fall in the same category as a VFG?

[quote name='Pat' timestamp='1352300887' post='840992'] Well, I like your positive look, OS. She's quite the looker. Who cares about the election, we got to see Megyn Kelly [i]walk[/i]! Bahaha. I guess we just have to see how it goes. America might just learn its lesson in these next four years. [/quote] I hope they do, but I suspect the people who really give a crap have already learned the lesson. The others won't learn because they will blame everyone and everything else, all the way to the ground. We were already headed for the cliff, now we just hit the gas.

[quote name='Razz' timestamp='1352295387' post='840942'] Yeah, I figured. I guess I'm just wondering why capitalism doesn't kick in and flood the stores with product. If I'm an ammunition manufacturer, I should have seen this coming and driven up supply to further line my pockets. Are margins really so thin that over-production is an issue or are there laws in place that limit manufacturing? [/quote] I don't know but will take a guess. I think a lot of the manufacturers are running at capacity to keep up with demand. When I see government agencies buying billions of rounds, it makes me think they get priority. When you get a spike in civilian demand, they just can't make it fast enough, but expanding is dangerous because the demand may slack up.

Oh, needed a refresh I guess. Nevermind.

Not that it will matter, but Politico has Ohio moving in the other direction as more precincts come in.

[quote name='kieefer' timestamp='1352260360' post='840687'] Thanks, i'll be looking for my receipt tomorrow with the serial # on it. Might be a chance I can find it even though I bought it like 15years ago. That's really my only option to prove that it's mine, IF it shows up. [/quote] Any chance the bike shop annotated the serial number while it was in for work?

Yes, at least for me...ammo anyway.

[quote name='LINKS2K' timestamp='1352263065' post='840761'] Nope! We'll be fine. [/quote] I LOLed.

[quote name='Caster' timestamp='1352260612' post='840697'] What's people's fascination with whores? [/quote] I believe what I saw was a hot chick with a hot rifle. Hence my fascination. Whores? No. Pretty girls with the "gun bug"? Yes!

[quote name='TN Outlaw' timestamp='1352256845' post='840583'] Other than a Sasquatch walking up and saying hi, i don't think most people will be convinced by video/picture or other proof. [/quote] I doubt he would speak English.

Your wife's a bigfoot, isn't she Gus? Goonie Goo Goo! Hard to hide a population large enough to breed without genetic stagnation due to inbreeding. My vote is no.

Chicks and guns, pretty sexy. I don't think boobs on a dude would have the same effect. :0)

[quote name='razorback2003' timestamp='1352240099' post='840344'] I will be working to pay for the free cell phones in Memphis. [/quote] I laughed, but then was sad.

Awe man, all I got was a sticker!

[quote name='RobertNashville' timestamp='1352232498' post='840228'] Wouldn't it have been your word against two officers and at least one dash cam? [/quote] You're probably right, but still a lot of effort for not much payoff. If the guy was willing to lie about the dog, it isn't too much of a stretch to think he could use poor cam footage to interject manufactured probable cause. They had me and the other officer standing in between the patrol vehicle and my vehicle. I'm sure there was some opportunity to say it appeared the dog alerted, some spot blind to the camera. Typical traffic stop positioning gives a limited view of the passenger side anyway.

[quote name='RobertNashville' timestamp='1352230791' post='840190'] What did you do about it? [/quote] My word against two officers? I'm ashamed to say, I did nothing. I just took my lumps, learned my lesson, and moved on. The amount of effort to get any satisfaction seemed disproportionate to the likelihood of actually making a difference. Probably a pessimistic attitude, but I'm too busy to pursue it. You better believe I'm running 64mph or less through there any more.

[quote name='mikegideon' timestamp='1352223658' post='840097'] I don't like "bad" cops any more than the next guy. I've bumped into a few over the years. I've even consented to a search in the past, when my car matched a description. I won't consent when it's a fishing expedition. With all that said, I have quite a bit of respect for what cops do, and have seen a lot more good than bad. I'll normally do everything I can to make their job easier. If I don't get a fair shake, I'll take it up with somebody above them after the stop ends. They have the upper hand during a stop. [/quote] When I am stopped on a rare occasion, I am always courteous and professional. I say sir a lot, keep my hands visible, have my information ready, never make fast or unexpected movements, and I hand my HCP to the office along with my license. Usually I get respect back from the officer. That being said, I've run into some a holes. I've had my rights violated. A couple of years ago, I was coming down I40 between Memphis and Jackson, heading toward Nashville. It was early in the morning, about 4:30 or so. I came through the usual "trap" area around mile marker 25. Although the speedometer said 68, I figured I'd be okay with the limit being 65. I was wrong. The white SUV pulled me over and the officer came to the passenger side. We exchanged the usual conversation on why I was stopped, speed along with window tint (they weren't tinted at all). While we were talking, he kept looking at the large boxes in the back seat. He said that he would not cite me for the speed, but then asked if I would consent to a search of my vehicle. I politely said no. He then said he would run his K9 around the outside. He got me out and had me stand behind the vehicle with another officer. Now, I spent eight years in law enforcement. I've had several K9 handlers as friends. I've helped with their training scenarios, caught dogs with sleeves, and know the procedure for presenting an area for the dog to inspect. I also know about rewards and when they are given. I watched the dog. He never alerted. He never showed interest. When he was done, the officer returned him to the vehicle with no reward. He then returned and told me the dog had alerted. I looked at him in amazement and he said, "You didn't see him trying to tear the door off the car?". I said no, because he hadn't. I knew what was going on at that point. This officer wanted to look in those boxes. He was prepared to violate my rights to do it, and he did. Of course, the boxes had parts for ultrasound systems that I had been working on. When he was done, my suitcase was ransacked, the boxes were unpacked and disheveled, and I had been violated and detained for 30 minutes for no reason. This guy was a bad cop who was prepared to wipe his feet on the constitution. I was powerless and felt betrayed. This is why I don't trust law enforcement automatically. This is why I will not consent to a search and will not volunteer any information other than what I am required to do. There are too many of these guys mixed in with the good cops to let my guard down. Call me cynical, but it seems to be getting worse. We seem to be militarizing out law enforcement at an alarming rate.

[quote name='DaveTN' timestamp='1352166392' post='839731'] If the Officer is not violating your rights by disarming you and he has your gun in his hands; it’s in plain view and he doesn’ t need a warrant to run the number any more than he needs a warrant to run your license plate. It’s a crime to carry a gun in this state and the state does not recognize a right to bear arms. If they did you wouldn’t need to buy the privilege. Until that changes you don’t have any rights when it comes to carrying a loaded gun…. Only privileges. [/quote] And that is one thing wrong with this state and this country.

Obama is better for gun owners and the country in general. - No

Sorry for the pessimism.
