  1. I try to keep about $100 in my pocket and $1000 at home. Never know what you might come across that you need cash for. I don't generally use my pocket cash for day to day transactions, and yes, I will put a coke on my card before I break a $20. That's what works for my current financial situation, YMMV.
  2. My part of Old Hickory has been quiet this weekend. Fished in the rain for a couple of hours yesterday. Need to do some bush hogging today. May get some fishing done this evening.
  3. I just have a COEXIST and a I'M WITH HER sticker on my car. No one suspects that I have a gun, everyone expects that I'm broke so there is no point in breaking into my car, and those that are offended by these stickers are hard working respectful people who don't get offended by stickers and vandalize someone else's stuff. It's a win/win.
  4. NEF 20ga single for Christmas, I think I was 11. It didn't get used much because I moved up to an 870 12ga about a year later. Still have it, it's in near mint condition on the back row of my safe. I've only ever sold two guns, an AK right before the Obama administration that I let go ridiculously cheap, and a Glock 27. Wish I hadn't sold the AK. I got something when I sold the Glock that I wanted more, plus Glocks don't have a lot of character to me. Most of my guns have since kind of sentimental value to me. Since Bersa 380s keep coming up, that was the first handgun that I bought myself. It was stolen shortly afterwards and I eventually got it back. I like to hold onto it because it has a neat story behind it.
  5. Good luck with that. Most camera tickets have no means in place to contest them. You pay the fine or lose your license. You are automatically quilty if you get one.
  6. I live right in the middle of several hundred acres that would be ideal quail habitat. Used to be some around but I haven't busted a covey in years. I did see a single quail a couple of weeks ago. I blame the increase of predators.
  7. Thanks for this information. I have 4 trips scheduled to Chicago over the next year, it's work related. I drive up there when I go and I don't carry because I didn't know that I could. Last I heard they were pulling people over with plates from gun friendly states and hassling them. So if I understand, since I have a permit, I can carry. But I'm supposed to unload my gun when I leave my car and go inside of my hotel, and can load back up when I get inside of my room? Does Illinois have a magazine size restriction?
  8. Unfortunately, roughly 100% of the people that need a sign to tell them to stay off of someone else's property will ignore the sign anyway.
  9. If I haven't put it together in a while I have to watch a YouTube video to remember how. Back before YouTube I had to search out a person that knew how to do it a couple of times.
  10. An hour to the Southeast of Gipson would put you somewhere around Laverne unless your wife works an odd shift.
  11. Just over 21, 10 inch beard, 1 1/4" spurs.
  12. Not too bad for a guy that can't call! http:// http://
  13. I'm looking for someone to hunt with. I have plenty of good land with turkeys and my own gear, I just can't call. If anyone is around Lebanon and would like to team up send me a PM
  14. I wore out a pair of Moabs, what were awesome. Bought an identical pair and they are awful. I'm gun shy at this point towards Merrell.
  15. I graduated in 2001. I probably got to see the tail end of things before it got absurd. We had an archery program in Jr high. We took mandatory hunter safety in 9th grade. I remember a class mate accidentally leaving his sks in the rifle rack one morning. Principal saw him as he pulled in, ran over to him and said "you forgot to put your rifle up, stick it behind the seat before anyone sees it." This was in Wilson County, we were a lot more rural then. Now my daughter is in the same system and things have changed. Guess that's what happens when people flock from liberal states to your area and then try to make things like they were back where they came from.
  16. I went and it was a great experience even though we didn't get in. I got in line at 3:30 and the line was a mile long. At 6:30 I was told by a MNPD officer that no one else was being let in, which was a not true. I was still about 4 blocks away so I went ahead and left. I saw only a hand full of protesters, they were mostly getting laughed at. The protesters were way too outnumbered to get rowdy. I will say that listening to Trump's speech on the radio it is refreshing to hear the president talk about doing great things. These last 8 years it seemed that every time the president spoke I was losing a right or having to pay a tax. I just hope that Trump gives his all to accomplish the things that he is setting out to do.
  17. I learned today that feeder goldfish from Petsmart are cheaper than minnows. More importantly I don't have to go nearly as far out of my way to get them. I know a lot of people like to use them for catfish, not sure how they work with crappie. If you go this route just don't turn your extras lose in the lake.
  18. I had a ridiculously hard time finding any mags for this gun. It's a double stacked 9mm "1911" I can't remember for sure but I believe the mags that I purchased are Rock Island mags. IIRC certain Para Ordinance mags will fit it as well but there isn't much available as it is somewhat of an oddball.
  19. I contacted Rock Island via email and they have already sent me a shipping label, no questions asked! 4-6 week turn around time. Anxious to see how it goes. I will try the magazine spring thing before I send it off though.
  20. I've tried three different mags. One came with the gun and I bought two more. IIRC they are all RIA mags, none have any markings on them. I tend to believe it has something to do with the ramp as well. I wouldn't have thought this issue would be normal, but it seems like the gun just isn't designed to run hollow points.
  21. http://s283.photobucket.com/user/GapTrash/media/20170301_214953_zpsd7v1eccm.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0. I picked this gun up a while ago and I've never gotten it right. It runs FMJs without a hiccup but it will not run anything flat nosed or hollow point. I've lightly polished the feed ramp with no success. Is there something I'm missing here or will this gun just not run anything but FMJ ammo?
  22. Gordon, what is or looking like regarding the legalities of someone like yourself building and selling suppressors? I'd like one and you would be my first choice as a builder.
  23. I worked at Sears for 5 years and don't have much good to say about them. I highly doubt they will be going out of business. For one they are making money hand over fist on their credit card. Management pushes store associates really hard to sell credit. Also Sears is a part of a large conglomerate of other stores and their losses are a write off for the conglomerate. It's also notable that the profits that are made off of credit is not counted as part of Sear's profits. As far as the tools go, back around 2010 they started producing hand tools in China. Customers were to be told that the reason was for"better value." I left the company shortly thereafter and never looked back. I could honestly care less if they go under, but I doubt they will.
  24. It's real simple. If you deprive me of my ability to protect my family from harm I will not enter and spend money in your establishment. The legality of the postings don't weigh into it for me, it's all about the intent. I'm not lacking on places to spend money, I'll go somewhere else.
