How to Ship Ammunition or Ammo

Thanks for the info, folks.

Ribeyes are on sale at Publix. $5.99/pound.

I'm cooking dinner tomorrow, and was hoping someone would be able to give me a few pointers. I would normally do this on a grill, but that's not an option in my apartment complex. I'll be cooking Ribeyes in the oven. Sadly, I've never attempted this before, and don't want to screw it up. There are five 16 oz +/- Ribeyes, and they appear to be about 2" thick. I thought about using the broiler method, but am not sure whether or not that is a good idea with steaks this thick. If nothing else, maybe I can use the broiler for just a few minutes on each side, giving them crispier edges. Anyone with experience have any pointers? Thanks in advance.

That sucks. The same thing happened to me while on vacation several years ago. Wish I had a safe back then. We were out of town for Christmas, and returned to a home with far less electronics and guns than when we left. We knew it must have been an "inside job" because the thief/thieves obviously took their time. Come to find out, they made two trips, on two consecutive evenings. I thought I had the guns hidden pretty well (under kitchen cabinets, underneath the pots and pans and in the bottom of boxes filled with things that belonged in storage) but they had all the time in the world. They had a good idea of what we had, and had no intention on leaving without it. Come to find out, it was my girlfriends brother who orchestrated the whole thing. It took a few months, but we eventually got just about everything back, including the crappy cordless telephone and half-dead vacuum cleaner. Yep, they took just about everything, even the recently opened Christmas presents belonging to his niece and nephew. Just gotta love drug addicts. I hope you are able to locate your stuff, too. I wasn't expecting to ever see my stuff again, but there is hope.

Where can this Lynn Peterson be found? What can one expect to pay for lessons?

If it matters, she does have an acoustic guitar of her own.

Anyone know someone who gives guitar lessons in/near Sumner County? A friend of mine wants to learn how to play, and I thought about getting her a couple lessons for her birthday.

I'm always amazed at how easily annoyed some people are. Life is far too short.

Should this be of any real concern? It doesn't appear to be getting nearly as much press as I thought it would. Khamenei: Iran Set to Deliver 'Punch' to Stun West on Anniversary - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News - FOXNews.com Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that Iran is set to deliver a "punch" that will stun world powers during this week's 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution, AFP reported. "The Iranian nation, with its unity and God's grace, will punch the arrogance (Western powers) on the 22nd of Bahman, February 11, in a way that will leave them stunned," Khamenei, who is also Iran's commander-in-chief, told a gathering of air force personnel according to AFP. The country's top cleric was marking the occasion when Iran's air force gave its support to revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a key event which led to the toppling of the U.S.-backed shah on February 11, 1979. His reported comments came as Iran said it would begin to produce higher enriched uranium from Tuesday, in defiance of Western powers trying to ensure the country's nuclear drive is peaceful. This year's anniversary is expected to become a flashpoint between security forces and supporters of opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, who charge that the June re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was rigged. Opposition supporters are expected to stage anti-government protests on Thursday when the traditional regime-sponsored marches to mark the revolution take place across the country. Mousavi renewed his call for demonstrations on the February 11 anniversary. Just over a week ago, he and Karroubi had implicitly called for a gathering of their supporters. "The 22nd of Bahman is upon us, truly it should be called the day of gathering," Mousavi said on his Kaleme.org website Monday, according to AFP. "I feel we have to participate while maintaining the collective spirit as well as our identity and leave an impression," Mousavi said. "Anger and bitterness should not take our control away. "The clerics should know that since imprisonment, beatings, and other confrontational methods are done in the name of Islam and the Islamic regime, it is hurting Islam and we all should try to stop," he added. Anti-government protests were first triggered after the June 12 presidential election won by Ahmadinejad. Over the past eight months, several thousand people were arrested. Some were released and others were given hefty prison terms, among them politicians, journalists and human rights activists. Two protesters were tried, convicted and hanged in the aftermath of the election. Khamenei told the air force personnel the "most important aim of the sedition after the election was to create a rift within the Iranian nation, but it was unable to do so and our nation's unity remained a thorn in its eyes.

Very happy with custom job
TripleDigitRide replied to Alpha7's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
Yet another example why I do very little "work" to any of my EDC's. There is almost never a need for such work on a carry weapon. That trigger job will do nothing for you in a SHTF situation, especially now that it's messed up. I can see why some folks decide to have such work done on Match guns, but not something you intend on carrying. Not only are these types of issues a concern to me, but if I have to shoot someone, I'd rather not give the prosecutors the opportunity to use the fact that I installed a "combat trigger" in my carry weapon against me. But that's a whole other debate. Hope you're able to find a solution to your issue. -
I'm not much of a TV watcher, but my favorites are Criminal Minds and CSI Miami.

S&W magic knives legal?

Any local retailers have these in stock? -
S&W magic knives legal?
TripleDigitRide replied to laktrash's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
"Assisted" means you actually have to touch the blade, or something attached to the blade for it to open. If you simply push a button, it's probably not legal. Do you have a link to the knife in question? -

Spring Assisted/Assisted Opening are perfectly legal. -
Will do. Thanks for all they do!

The local police are carrying the full-auto Glock 18? I didn't realize that.

If you plan on shooting an AR, or another gun with a long magazine, make sure the shooting rest is suitable. When I purchased my first shooting rest, I didn't think about the 30-round magazine hanging out the bottom of the rifle.

I've done it just to see if I could do it, and it wasn't nearly as difficult as I had expected. With that being said, I would imagine it's not necessary unless you're having noticable issues with the MkIII. If you're bored and have nothing better to do, give it a shot.

Hi-Points are ugly, blocky, and heavy, but they generally serve well for their intended purpose. They also have a lifetime, no-questions asked warranty. You should be able to find one without much effort.

Welcome to TGO! Although not impossible, with only a $200 budget, your options may be very limited. I guess it really depends on the intended purpose of said handgun. Enjoy your stay!
