  1. Thank you for the target advice! There is a green skinned, jug-eared Zombie target out there . . .
  2. Probably .38. The over the counter cost for 9mm is closer to the reload cost. Which do you shoot more of? Which would you shoot more of if the ammo cost was under control?
  3. You can't go wrong with one of the offerings from the Springfield Armory. http://www.springfield-armory.com/armory.php?clicktype=1911 Click around and enjoy!
  4. Registered and raring to go! Sort out the posers and pick the next president in the primary and - - ABO in the general election. Ensure Tennessee and the U.S. House & Senate are run by the adults - you know who they are.
  5. I am the mighty bug-killing, wasp-spraying warrior in our house . . . except for a big spider. When I start screaming like a little girl, my wife squishes it with a rolled up newspaper and flushes it down the toilet. I stand there, wiping away tears from my eyes and throwing up a little in my mouth. It's not so much big spiders, as big spider guts, eeeeeeeck! Shelob the Spider from the Lord of the Rings. Stab it with a sword.
  6. Sounds like the deputy needs to be fired for cause, so he can get a job as an unarmed security guard in a grocery store enforcing the 15 item limit on the express lanes.
  7. I'll pay 5% to 9% or so more for gun-stuff from my reliable, knowledgeable local gun store. I'm paying for the convenience, I'm paying for the knowledge, I'm paying for the reliability. If I need a gun item, I don't want to drive all over the place looking for it, or wait for it to come via UPS in five days. If I don't know what to get, I want some one knowledgeable to inform me. If there's a problem with an item, I want someone I can trust to make reliable repairs or arrange for warranty work. I'll pay more for these services. If prices are much more than 10% higher, or if If I'm not getting the knowledge, or the reliability, I'll drive right past the local store to another store, or turn to the internet. My military service had meant I moved around a lot. When I got to a new town and went to check out the local gunstores, in larger and larger circles from my house, I'd always "window shop" for the first couple of trips to check each place out. I might ask to see an item I already knew about, and ask questions for which I already knew the answer. If the courtesy wasn't there, if the knowledge wasn't there, if the store was dirty, disorganized and un-business-like, I'd say "have a good day" and they'd never see me again. If the store passed these very simple tests, they'd get first consideration for all purchases, and then over time, loyalty in spite of pluses or minuses on prices. I imagine I'm not alone in making these assessments, even though others put more or less dollar-value on them. Regarding gun shows: I go looking for the unusual used stuff, or for bulk consumable supplies, like a case of ammo or 8 lbs of powder or other reloading supplies. I wouldn't buy new or warranty-items at a gun show unless it was at the table of a store-front shop in my area. Regarding the internet: I look for the specialty tools, or the hard to find items that local stores don't stock.
  8. I'm melting, melting . . . all my lovely wickedness . . . ah, what a world, what a world. . . . Get her broomstick.
  9. Welcome to TGO. Welcome from Smyrna!
  10. Sounds like a textbook situation under the law as written. It's like a dance where everyone knows the steps and no one steps on each other's toes. Good for you all!
  11. I had a Ruger 22/45 and I liked shooting it, but disassembly for cleaning with all the magazine in, magazine out, pull the trigger, tip it up, tip it down, magazine in magazine out routine was just too much trouble.
  12. A commenter on another site says: "Three-inch magnum 12-gauge with #7 shot. Shotgun with modified choke on a 26" barrel. Not a tough shot at all. " Is that about right?
  13. Animal rights group says drone shot down A remote-controlled aircraft owned by an animal rights group was reportedly shot down near Broxton Bridge Plantation Sunday. Steve Hindi, president of SHARK (SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness), said his group was preparing to launch its Mikrokopter drone to video what he called a live pigeon shoot on Sunday when law enforcement officers and an attorney claiming to represent the privately-owned plantation near Ehrhardt tried to stop the aircraft from flying.

I am saying that it would be mighty, mighty tempting. What would you expect from people interrupted in an otherwise legal hunt? What's the best load for mini-helicopter? I'm thinking some sort of shotgun skeet load. . . . #8 birdshot? Commercial or custom load?
  14. You never know. It's possible. I think we should shut down all wind turbines until we can conduct the scientific experiments to determine once and for all, and for sure, that wind turbines are NOT changing the orbit of the earth.
  15. It's clear that he was doing the bidding of the satanic, demented chihuahua.
  16. "Hypocrisy" and "left" in the same sentence is redundant.
  17. They'd swarm you. You'd never survive. I'd rather be attacked by Zombies.
  18. I think it's pretty bad that these two guys got into it over a dog. On the other hand, not all Chihuahua's are sweet little dogs. Some of them are the nastiest, most vicious little creatures you've ever seen. I MIGHT have understood it if he shot a nasty, snarling, yapping ankle-biter. And then had it stuffed like a squirrel over the mantlepiece. They were all over San Antonio! Ever see a pack of wild chihuahuas, eight or nine of 'em? Like a swarm of attack rats. Fearless little creatures, yap, yap, yap! I'd rather wade across a river full of piranhas. I didn't know you could pack that much nasty in sacks that small!
  19. Well, I'm thinking the Green up arrow is a lot like the "like" button, and you also get a "dislike" button with the Red down arrow, on the far right of the posts. I'm good with that . . .
  20. Little baaaasterd. I hope the EPA discovers his mansion is built on a wetlands and he has to bulldoze it to the ground and pay a million dollar fine for being an ashhole.
  21. In DEE-CEE: Rules for THEE but not for ME: Brock and the Glock: Armed men guarded Media Matters boss as he took $400,000 gun control donation http://www.foxnews.c.../#ixzz1mZPD69Nv Yank the twerps bodyguards and see if he sings a different tune. Frackin' hypocrite. (and of course that's Media Matters HONCHO doesn't pack heat -- his BODYGUARDS do) If the moderators can fix the title, it'd be great!
  22. IMO State legislators and college administrators are responsible for the latest in a series of rapes on the Vanderbilt campus. http://www.tennessean.com/article/20120211/NEWS03/120211017?fb_comment_id=fbc_10150601706107458_21503455_10150609203732458 The police have since caught a suspect -- big whoop! -- of course, after the woman was raped. http://www.tennessean.com/article/20120213/NEWS03/302130031/Weekend-attacks-women-net-arrest-Vanderbilt-case If there were Campus Carry, even if there was Parking Lot carry in Tennessee, then the odds are this and other cases would not have happened. Criminals are stupid, but they are savvy enough to troll campus and hospital parking lots where they know their victims are unarmed. They don't frequent city parking lots as much, because they know they'd could get blasted by an HCP carrier. Lay the blame for these attacks at the feet of the state legislators, the college administrators, the hospital administrators that allow this to happen.
  23. Gosh, I hope his house doesn't burn down in the middle of the night. Doosh-baigh to the extreme.
  24. If the Obammunist can go after the First Amendment in such a blatant and arrogant manner, imagine what he could do to the Second Amendment if he had another term? *************************************************** Whom the Gods Would Destroy, by J.R. Dunn It seems that Obama, in a classic act of hubris, has created the means of his own destruction. Through his great historical contribution, his health care bill, he has struck what was surely intended to be a lethal blow against the oldest organization on earth -- an organization with something on the order of a billion members, with a cadre of hundreds of thousands of highly trained and dedicated personnel, and a history of overcoming political threats that make Obama look like a kindergartner. I'm referring, of course, to the Catholic Church. Now, I don't mean that the Archangel Gabriel will appear out of the East to scourge the administration with a blazing sword, though I would pay to see that. What I'm saying is that Obama has at last taken the step that we all knew he had in him, the ultimate act of arrogance and contempt that will bring the forces of history down upon him.

  25. What, no one want to tie the shottie to a tree and pull the trigger with a string??!!?? How would you know for sure?? /sarcasm
