    joke

    not sure if I can get away with this, but here goes. There was a meeting where the speaker/guest was David E. Cole, Chariman of the Center for Automotive Research (CAR), an engineer with 40+ years automotive experience, full Professor at the University of Michigan. You have all likely heard CAR quoted, or referred to in the auto industry news lately. Mr. Cole told many stories of the difficulty of working with the folks that the Obama administration has sent to save the auto industry. There have been many meetings where this very experienced automotive expert has had to listen to a newcomer to the industry; someone with zero finance experience, zero business experience, zero manufacturing experience, zero auto industry experience, zero engineering experience, and apparently zero brains tell them how to run their business. Mr. Cole's favorite story is as follows: There was a team of Obama people speaking to Mr. Cole. They were explaining to Mr. Cole that the auto companies needed to make a car that was electric and natural gas (LNG) with enough combined fuel to go 500 miles, so we wouldnt "need" so many gas stations (a whole other topic). They were quoting BTU's of LNG and battery life they had looked up on some website. Mr. Cole explained that to do this you would need a trunk FULL of batteries and a LNG tank as big as a car to make that happen. And that there were problems related to the laws of physics that prevented them from... The Obama person interrupted and said (and I am quoting here), "These laws of physics? Whose rules are those? We need to change that (while others wrote down the name of the law so they could look it up later). We have the Congress, and the administration. We can repeal that law, amend it, or use an executive order to get rid of that problem. That's why we are here, to fix these sorts of issues." My friends... we are screwed...
  3. BS, this is what you need.
  4. my only surprise would be that it took this long for it to happen
  5. we all know the ATF takes its time with paperwork
  6. this could be the start of a VERY bad movement
  7. anybody else notice where they are made at? Montana
  8. I have tried to keep 1,000 rounds per gun but its fallen back lately. But thats what I like to keep for personal usage. 10,000 rounds per caliber should be adequate for "future preparations" along with as much reloading supplies as you can get. of course this is pending your funds obviously.
  9. congrats! still waitin on mine:(
  10. gold and silver, especially if its american eagles, are easily sold quickly.
  11. I know its not what you want to hear but gold and silver and getting the best returns right now, and will contine to.
  12. you need to start growing a forest lol!
  13. It hasnt happened yet but it will be better.
  14. a .243 is just a necked down .308 casing, so you should be able to get the exact same rifle just in a different chambering so it will still be familiar.
  15. it was a neck shot. Yes it was hearsay. I personally would not use a .45acp to hunt hog with. minimum with a handgun is .44mag. and id probably go big bore on a rifle too like .45/70 or .458socom or similar. I dont like to cut it close with something that can charge back at me.
  16. 270, 308 or 30-06 if your staying with a bolt action .30-30 if going to lever
  17. With a hog, yes. Deer, I dont know. I was reading on another fourm of a guy taking a hog at about 75 yards with a 1911 with the MechTech carbine convesion unit in .45 and it dropped it on the spot, very good. Deer I havent heard of.
  18. I think you would be fine with a .44mag. I really like the idea of the .460 but like you said they are expensive.
  19. you get certified in Nashville somewhere, not sure exactly. All you have to do is get a current NEC(National Electrical Code) code book and study until you know where EVERYTHING is at without it takig too ling to look it up. probably best to memorize the table of contents and know where everything is. The test is open book but the book is VERY long and if you dont know where to find it at you will waste your time looking for one thing. You have a certain amount of time to finish the test. Do NOT get the handbook and expect to use it on the test, NOT ALLOWED. However, I would suggest nothing but the Handbook for when you start to use it in the field. I have looked into this but just havent gotten down to nashville and scheduled a test yet, talked to the electrical inspectors and other guys that have taken it to know what to expect. I believe its the 2008 code that we are working off from right now. I know TN skipped the 2005 set of codes altogether. They went from 2003 to the 2008 codes. There were so many changes the the local power companies offered a 1-day class taught by the electrical inspectors to explain all the changes to the licensed electricians. I attended as a guest of another electrician. I looked and I dont have my information anymore. go and ask your local power co. for some paperwork to get a LLE(limited licensed electrician), means that you can do jobs up $25,000 of labor. Talk to an electrical inspector if possible. They usually get to the power company at 8am and usually leave at about 830am to start inspecting on the days they inspect.
  20. Ok, I know Ive been in a hole and for the most part not in the know, but when did a swastika mean you hate blacks? I know in the beginning it meant you were a German Nazi and that meant you wanted to kill all Jews. When did the blacks get grouped in there too? Did the KKK use that symbol also? BTW, all he had to do was make the slash red, and he would be good to go. IMO But, he still gets the EPIC FAIL award of the day.
  21. for a true BOB, depends on if you are just getting away until its safe to come back or get to the bug-out location. or if its more of an INCH(im never coming home) bag. INCH bag needs tools to build a cabin or similar, food and water for 1-2weeks +++, and most importantly, a PLAN of what you are going to do or where you are going to go.
  22. is that a converison upper for a full-auto M-16? now thats a duck hunting rig! wonder if that guy wanting 2 guys for a lease would let you use that
  23. I heard thats what the army based the current drop leg holster off from.
  24. Im just waiting for a video of a drunk redneck trying to use one
  25. Product 6
