At least it was a nice clean cut. Heal swiftly.

[quote name='TankerHC' timestamp='1354945755' post='856807']Well I went down and visited with that WWII Vet at the nursing home. Well he didn't serve at Pearl. He is a former gunner on LC(FF) 1031 (Landing Craft "Flotilla Flagship" 1031) that was the command ship for a flotilla of 17 LCT's, and served during the Battle Of Okinawa. His name is Mr. T.A. Mann. So I took my digital recorder and my list of questions and asked if he would consent to an interview about his WWII service. He did and I was able to record a 30 minute interview with Mr. Mann. Some interesting things, what they did during Kamikaze attacks (He shot one down right before it his his boat), when a Japanese sub got in the middle of their 17 boat flotilla (A Destroyer came in and dropped depth charges and sunk it), how he witnessed an American fighter plane take on a Zero and couldn't shoot it down so the American pilot used his plane to chop the tail of the Zero, we talked about a bunch of interesting things. Anyway, I would post the entire audio, but since I am no Geraldo when it comes to interviews, Im going to do some editing first. One thing that happened while I was there, I took him 10 bags of candy that he asked for (Not much 88 cents a bag) and he put it in his drawer, then walked around to get a photo album out (He had been in a wheelchair the entire time I was there) and BAM, he hit the ground, had a dizzy episode. Nearly smacked his head on the corner of the dresser and landed (HARD) right on his right hip. I got him back into the wheelchair real quick and got a nurse and within 5 seconds there were 6 nurses in there checking him out. He got a bruise on his side but no broken bones. He's hard headed, when he wants to get up and walk, he does even though he has these spells, he wont let anyone push him in his chair, not nurses or doctors, he says he can do it himself. He's independent and plans on staying that way. Good ole fella though (He's 87).[/quote] That's awesome. I'm looking forward to hearing the interview.

Just finished watching the 2 final episodes. I'm very happy Pope is dead.

Score!

If nothing else, this video makes him a douche.

[quote name='Oh Shoot' timestamp='1354675551' post='855065'] Got a cite for that? - OS[/quote] http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/12/03/veterans-gun-rights-sticking-point-in-defense-bill/ The number of veterans directly affected by the VA's policy doesn't appear to very large. Only 185 out of some 127,000 veterans added to the gun-check registry since 1998 have sought to have their names taken off, according to data that the VA shared with lawmakers during a hearing last June.

The trigger on my .40 Pro was the same way. Other than the initial grittiness, I loved the trigger from day one. After a couple hundred rounds and a few cleanings, I think the trigger is fantastic.

No Place for Young Black Men?
TripleDigitRide replied to TLRMADE's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
[quote name='mr.ak47' timestamp='1354607564' post='854688']I would have to disagree with you there mark@sea, Because it's simply well,false. Most minorities simply don't live in the same area as most whites, therefore black on white crimes are far less common then vice versa or minority on minority crimes[/quote] Lie! -
[quote name='Jesse' timestamp='1354556794' post='854277']I bought the galaxy tab 2 10.1" Supports Flash Player unlike the ipad. And has micro mem slot unlike the Nexus. It also can be used as a tv/cable box remote. And they have 3g/4g models along with wifi only models.[/quote] I just purchased the same thing for my daughter's Christmas gift. I spent a few hours going through all the updates and playing around with it a bit, and I was quite impressed. If you're looking for an Android based tablet, this one appears to be a great choice.

I've always had good luck with those.

No that we know we're doomed, which one of you have the solution? That was the point of my previous post in this tread. I see folks endlessly pointing out reasons why we are going to be carted off to concentration camps any day now, but I'm not seeing any solutions to prevent this from happening. Obviously voting hasn't worked, so, what now?

Where to buy Boy Scout Christmas trees?
TripleDigitRide replied to TripleDigitRide's topic in General Chat
[quote name='DaddyO' timestamp='1354421236' post='853688']TDR, as a former scouter and father of an eagle scout, thank you for supporting the BSA. We sold lots of trees during our time in scouting.[/quote] My pleasure. Those young men were working their tails off when we were there this afternoon. They were located in the right part of town to make lots of money, that's for sure. They were thankful someone (me) finally pulled up in a truck. They were exhausted from tying trees to the tops of mini vans and huge SUVs. -
Want to build a suppressor.
TripleDigitRide replied to flyanything's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
[quote name='scoutfsu' timestamp='1354417640' post='853664']What? Manufacturing and building your own suppressor is the same thing. A form 1 is manufacturing......that's what you do when you "build" a suppressor or an SBR[/quote] I suspect "building" one for yourself is different from "manufacturing" for others. -
[quote name='LINKS2K' timestamp='1354419602' post='853676']When Obama leaves office in a few years are the tin foil crazies going to disband like a flash mob?[/quote] If another democrat wins, it will be much of the same around here. If a republican wins, the leftist forums will be hoarding all the foil.

By the way, my initial issue must have also been an IE issue, because those buttons work with Firefox. -

At least one of the three winners is now a benefactor, so I assume the Gift Voucher option worked as intended. Thanks for the help. -

I tried to purchase a gift voucher with IE, but it wouldn't work. The button to confirm order wouldn't work. I switched to Firefox, worked perfectly. -

[quote name='Spots' timestamp='1354407322' post='853562'] Thats how I got my membership from a friend here. He just bought a gift and sent it to me [/quote] Were you sent a redemption code via email or something? Then you purchased the membership, using that code?
