10-Ring

Is there a difference in the quality of glass? My truck came from Florida and has sand etching on the windshield, more annoying than anything.

Meant to ask what the deal was with that, I counted 16.

I blame the people who used the flag for evil purposes more than anything else. Their use of it gave the general public the view that it was a racist symbol regardless of what was true. The Christian cross has been used extensively by the KKK but no one ever gets upset by that it seems. Just my perspective when you commented about the Confederate soldiers not fighting for "the right thing" as I believe you put it. Maybe, but they thought that it was right. They didn't know what we know now. And, our wasn't really about slavery but about states rights. Just imagine today if the federal government created laws that would vastly change our way of life. Most would probably roll over and take it but back then the Confederacy took up arms to protect their way of life and what they thought was right. If that cause was not connected to slavery the perspective would be a lot different. Another fine video sir. Not arguing just weighing in.

Tannerite has warning labels for a reason, and that reason is to warn people who don't have enough common sense to realise that Tannerite may be dangerous. Guy is a moron plain and simple, and before you ask, yes, I did do stupid things when I was young, but nothing that stupid, which is evidenced by my still having all of my extremities, including fingers and toes.

We'll take the money that the Nashville yuppie liberal morons don't want.

Perfect! Of no TGOers come through I'll do this.

43 feet? That's stupid. I've shot Tannerite no way would I shoot it at that distance, especially when set in a way to send shrapnel with the blast. Modern medical technology is the only reason idiots like this get to tell the story about the time that they blew their leg off instead of just dying.

If all else fails I may see if he would be willing to send me what I need for a few bucks.

I know this sounds odd but I need about 50 dip can lids to use in the construction of some fishing jugs.  If you are in the Middle Tennessee area that would be great if not and you have a bunch I'd be glad to pay shipping to get them. If you are local I don't mind sharing some catfish here in a few weeks either.

This kit is priced pretty well may save another $20 if you wait around for it to go on sale.  Everything you need but your mags and sights. http://palmettostatearmory.com/ptac-16-mid-length-5-56-nato-1-7-phosphate-rifle-kit.html

As long as it's in the car and you can legally posses it then you're good to go, doesn't need to be in a case or anything.  Removing the gun from the car is when you will begin to have an issue without having a really good reason to do so.  I would highly suggest reading and understanding the law before you do anything involving carrying a gun that you are not 100% sure about.  There is generally good information here but I would not do something based solely on information obtained from people that I do not know on an internet forum. There is a link to the Tennessee Codes Annotated in my signature line, that would be a good place to start.   

I've been in your shoes.  It can be confusing going in for the first time.  Here's what I did and it worked out great, I learned a lot, and in my opinion I got a nice rifle out of the deal.    #1 Acquire a lower.  Stay away from polymer, no reason to go down that road to save $20, you are not a hobo. #2 Buy a PSA rifle build kit.  It will have everything that you will need to complete the rifle when paired with the stripped lower, minus the magazine and sights.  #3 Look up a video on Youtube about how to assemble the lower.  My upper came pre assembled, two roll pins and it's on.    As far as sourcing parts... 1.  Are you an operator? 2.  Are you an accomplished 3 gun competitor looking to stay at the top of the game? 3.  Will this rifle be mostly used for shooting beer cans, varmints, carrying at public demonstrations and/or at your job as a mall security guard, I mean ninja?   If you answered "yes" to questions 1 or 2 you may be best served looking at some fancier brands. If you answered "no" to questions 1 or 2 but "yes" to question 3 then PSA is a great choice for you as it is economical and generally of serviceable quality. 

Drone, way easier to control. Still probably too hard for a six year old though.

I'd stay away from them, I understand situations such as that that Omega has where the gun comes like that.  Otherwise if that fake suppressor reduces the sound of the gun firing at all you could be subject to being charged with having a suppressor that you didn't pay your tax stamp on.  You can go on and on about your rights to put fake suppressors on your guns and whatnot but at the end of the day for me, if I don't need it, it doesn't serve a purpose, and it will attract the attention of the ATF then it's not going on my gun.  I don't want to have any conversations with those guys regardless of whether or not I did anything illegal. 

Yes, you are correct, to quote Hillary Clinton "what difference does it make, that was a long time ago."

I wouldn't even take internal wear into consideration. I would say it would be hard to find a Glock that was even close to having wear to be concerned about. I'd give potential purchases a once over, visually check rifling and call it good.

If I didn't enjoy reloading then I wouldn't bother doing it. Just shoot factory ammo. You are going to have to do a considerable amount of shooting to justify spending the time and money on reloading, not worth it if you do not enjoy the reloading process as well.

  Isn't it nice when they smile as they take your money?

One of these days I'm going to own one of your knives!

It's never an easy call. I try to be pragmatic when it comes to these things. The #1 question that needs to be asked is "what is the quality of life for my animal going to be?" If money were no object tippy opt for the surgery, unfortunately that is not the case for many of us. Option #2 can the dog be kept comfortable without surgery? If this can happen then it may be a good option. To give you an idea of where I stand on animals, I despise the kind of people that get a dog and try to get rid of it because it isn't fun anymore or doesn't fit their lifestyle. That said of you have done all that you can reasonably do I wouldn't hold it against someone to have their dog put down instead of spending an amount of money on it that they can't afford. I would not put myself in financial strain over a pet, not more than I could recover from in a short amount of time anyway. I know that sounds insensitive but I really don't mean for it to. I would at least consider getting a second opinion before doing anything drastic either way.

Maybe I'm jaded but I shed zero tears when someone like this dies. I'm the world is a better place without them. I value human life, but only human life with value.

If these people can argue for crap lawsuits like this I can argue that my peers are TGO members.

No, you will need a hunt/fish and a big game gun, that is if you plan on hunting with a rifle and not archery or muzzle loader. If you plan on taking does or hunting on public land you will most likely need a type 94 as well.

Everyone's idea of the perfect truck gun is different.  I have a .223 bolt action with a 3x9 scope that wasn't really being used for much of anything but range time.  I stuck it in my truck along with a variety of ammunition.  I did this after the last time that I got off work early, which was unexpected, and had time to go hunting but didn't have my rifle.  I really like the .223 because I can take just about anything that I need to in this part of the state with it effectively.  Not my first choice for deer but it will do.  I carry some 62 grn soft points and some 50 grn varmint tips, along with some 55grn FMJs just in case I want to shoot just to shoot.  It's a pretty inexpensive outfit but I really like it, I actually think I like that gun a little bit more each time I shoot it.

I will add that they ate ridiculously easy to work on. I have removed a motor and had it completely disassembled within about 45 minutes. Took about an hour to get it back together and in the bike. I'm on okay mechanic.
