[quote name="peejman" post="1157524" timestamp="1402486906"]Kids + Darkness + Flashlights = hours of fun Mine turn all the lights off in the house, grab their flashlights, and run around squealing with joy. [/quote] That's exactly how the time was spent. When the power came back on the kids insisted we shut all the lights back off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We lost power for a few hours in the storm a few nights ago. My son thought it was awesome. He was disappointed when we didn't lose power today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good to hear these are getting here quick. Leaving town to the occupied states of the NE and was hoping to get it before then. Would have to put a hold on it shipping otherwise, that way it doesn't sit on my front porch for a week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[quote name="pitt2magic" post="1157235" timestamp="1402408227"]Agreed. While I admire this mans courage and willingness to try to protect others, everyone should learn from what mistakes cost him his life. We should always assume that there are multiple threats.[/quote] Hindsight is 20/20. We don't know how he was interpreting the situation or what may have happened if he hadn't intervened. Who knows, maybe they were about to open fire on a crowd. Maybe if he hadn't given his life several women and children would have been killed. Certainly there are lessons to be learned, but I have a hard time classifying anything this guy did in the heat of the moment as a "mistake". I know I'd rather die then sit idly by and watch innocents be slaughtered. Perhaps he was the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What UPS runaround? I send through them all the time. Haven't had much issue other than a new guy not knowing how it's done. Other than that, seems just as easy as mailing anything else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[quote name="bersaguy" post="1156987" timestamp="1402341333"]Well, I guess the Doctor that lost her parents in Luby's and brought up the Assault Rifle issue during her discussion with legislators is finally getting her point across about the real purpose of assault weapons as more than just standing on your roof during a riot and guarding your property from looters. So if you want to point your finger at the real people that have created this situation take a long look at the Texas legislators as they are the ones that set the rules and they are the ones that will be facing the angry mothers from Targets and no telling how many other places before November elections............jmho[/quote] I don't think stupidity compels stupidity. No matter the laws, the choices these idiots make are theirs to own. Trying to scare women for the purpose of making a point is the tactic of cowardly terrorists. ANY gun rights movements should not be associated with those who use such tactics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[quote name="daddyo" post="1156892" timestamp="1402327011"]That's certainly one opinion.[/quote] What else does one expect to accomplish when hanging out in the baby section of Target with a loaded AR15 slung at the ready? I don't see how it is open to opinion. It is self evident. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[quote name="JayC" post="1156859" timestamp="1402321599"]I'd be happy to show you hundreds of youtube videos where the police freak out over an open carried handgun. They treat it the exact same way... and in TX if you open carry a handgun you go to jail.[/quote] Freak out or just question folks? I've seen many of these videos and the vast majority are folks who bait LE so they can record the encounter while they argue with LE about what their rights are. Sometimes they get lucky and get a cop that isn't well versed on the law. I would be interested to see all the encounters that don't get posted, because the cop simply didn't care. I watched 4 CPD officers having lunch at a Chinese buffet with an OCer sitting only a few tables away. They most certainly noticed his firearm. None of them approached or even seemed to care.

[quote name="daddyo" post="1156865" timestamp="1402322380"]You guys know why they're doing this don't you? Open carry of handguns is illegal in TX, so open carry of long guns is all they have. They're protesting an unconstitutional law.[/quote] By trying to scare the sh** outa young mothers in the baby section of Target? I don't care what their cause is. Besides, they could care less about getting the law changed; they're just trying to get attention. This is like protesting for free speech by going into Chuck E Cheese and playing George Carlin on your boombox. Just stupid, inflammatory and intimidating to women. The cause they're supporting has zero to do with the outrage at their actions. I seriously, SERIOUSLY, would love to take these fat ****s into the ring and beat the crap outa them.

My family all live out in the country on adjacent properties and had a new person move to their area who had several German shepherds he'd just leave outside to bark all day. Their properties were separated by several acres, but the barking was still a nuisance. He engaged the neighbor about it and his response was to "deal with it" since they live out in the country. So my uncle came by one of those air horns they have on old trains and pointed it at this dude's house. When the dogs started barking he'd hit that horn repeatedly. Dude comes over on his four wheeler after a few days of this to raise hell at my uncle; the two of them have it out in the yard, end up having a few beers together and coming to an agreement. Folks who have no regard for others should not be surprised when others show no regard for them. If your neighbor just blew you off then your only options are to live with it or start some drama and hope he gets the message. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[quote name=".357SIG" post="1156603" timestamp="1402229047"]If the stripes were parallel to the body then it could have been a ribbon or garter snake. However they are not thick bodied snakes.[/quote] I would agree as the garter snakes I caught as a kid were slim, but I just liberated a garter snake from my burn pile a few weeks back and the thing was as thick as a mature cottonmouth; about the circumference of a toilet paper roll. Mean as he'll too. Kept striking at me like a viper. Never seen them do that before. This one was pretty dark with distinct lines than ran the length of his body. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[quote name="Gotthegoods" post="1156539" timestamp="1402188428"]Regardless of whether or not their actions adversely effect main stream gun carriers specifically and gun owners in general, it is their 2A Right and they also have the right to express it publicly. ."[/quote] Doesn't mean they don't deserve to be dismembered by honey badgers. I believe in freedom of speech. Why can't I hang out in the kiddie aisle at Target in a Borat speedo? If you think that's inappropriate then you hate the first amendment. See how that works?

TGOers better stay off the grass, get a haircut this weekend and get cracking on their NCOERs. I swear if there are two NCOERs which have the same bullet comment heads will roll! Oh, and keep your hands out of your pockets!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[quote name="enfield" post="1156174" timestamp="1402094839"]I'm frequently confused, but I read recently that there were no cougars in Florida. Guess it was a half-truth, since there ARE big cats in Florida. I'd never heard of the Florida panther.[/quote] Yeah, they're still there. I thought their numbers were up from a few decades ago but I guess not. There are plenty of bobcat in Florida, and their paws will leave tracks that look almost as large as a panther's.

[quote name="JohnC" post="1155945" timestamp="1402031488"]Is it just me or are some folks not catching this?[/quote] Need something more than just a theory of it being possible these are staged by Bloomberg. It has already been confirmed that these type of douchebags exist all over the country. YouTube is a good source to reference these idiot types. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[quote name="enfield" post="1155982" timestamp="1402056587"]Officially there aren't any cats in Florida, but I've see prints as big as ashtrays in the beach sand at Tyndall AFB in the panhandle. They're everywhere![/quote] There aren't officially? It's called the Florida Panther. It's an endangered animal. Smaller than a mountain lion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[quote name="deerslayer" post="1155902" timestamp="1402020928"] These TX rifle guys are no different than those who carry handguns openly. [/quote] Yes they are. They aim to intimidate. There is no question of that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[quote name="deerslayer" post="1155902" timestamp="1402020928"]While I think you are in left field, I respect you for being consistent. I can't say the same for some others. Some who are condemning these rifle open carry types have previously griped that we should fight for the rights of all who carry, no matter the method or manner. These TX rifle guys are no different than those who carry handguns openly. [/quote] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is a picture of these oxygen thieves. My wife said she'd be creeped out by these two weirdo looking dudes hanging out in the kiddie section even without the guns and dressed nicely. Seriously, they took AR15s and hung out in the baby section to scare the s*** out of new mothers. And this isn't yielding positive results??? I really want to punch these people in the mouth. Cowardly sacks of skin trying to intimidate women. They need to be raped to death by a herd of rhinos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[quote name="theconstitutionrocks" post="1155692" timestamp="1401966300"]While I don't doubt there is a 3% (more or less) group of people out there, I think they KEY questions, issues, concerns are these... 1. How organized, trained, and equipped can these folks get and how quickly 2. Can they be/are they already infiltrated 3. To be effective (in a worst case scenario) you have to mass. When you do that you become vulnerable 4. WHAT would actually be the NO S*** line that would have to be crossed for this group to act. Would that line cause immediate full response or a slow gathering of momentum 5. Would it be politically viable, in other words, would their actions be sufficient to alter political opinion and drive a change There are likely more questions/comments, but I think the real focus needs to be.... How can we, as a freedom loving people, get controls put in place that essentially short circuit, render untenable, and cause the removal of abusive government (should it ever come to pass) WITHOUT resorting to open armed conflict by the general population?[/quote] I think you have to look at the way revolutions normally occur. It is only a requirement that opposition exists in the minds of the people. From there everything evolves. The more oppressive a government becomes the more organized the underground becomes, kinda out of necessity. The only thing that needs to exist is overwhelming support amongst the people that things need sudden and violent change. We have more mediums of free speech than any other time in human history. We have the power to chose our leaders peacefully. If those were to go away you'd see things get organized. For now, that ain't gonna happen. Things aren't that bad yet. I don't suppose they'll ever get all the way to that point, because it isn't the government that is oppressing you; it's your neighbors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It starts drying super quick, so keep that in mind as you're applying it as to not have an uneven looking coat. Also, the sun dries this stuff way fast, so try to do this in a garage or out of direct sunlight. The fumes from this stuff might knock ya down too, so do this someplace ventilated.

Maybe those open carry groups need to jettison their members that go trolling for attention. They will never achieve their goals because their members do stupid stuff. As long as they back those clowns they will be defined by them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
