Just kidding.

Too late. Just bought it all.

Mmmmm....Cupcakes! What kind and how much?

And another 1-mile walk in the books.

Grillin' and chillin'. About 3 or 4 years ago, we started heading near downtown for the fireworks. There is a parking lot across the street from the Exxon, right at Shelby Street and the Interstate. We get there about 4:00-5:00pm to get a good parking spot along the grassy area that's next to the road. We throw some grub on the grill, and chill until the fireworks start. It's the perfect spot for people watching. And there is never a shortage of "scenery", if you know what I mean. When the fireworks are over, it's a cake walk getting back on the interstate. I tried the whole "Riverfront" thing, ONCE! Never again. It took about 3+ hours to get back to out vehicle and out of the downtown area. It's not worth it.

Way cool, man! Congrats to the both of you.

Welcome to TGO. I'm not sure how someone would make a wooden display case safe. I guess it depends on the degree of "safe" you're looking for. If you're looking for something safe enough to keep your children from playing with your firearms, a wooden safe would probably be sufficient. If you're looking for something to protect your firearms from the common criminal, I'm guessing wood is not going to cut it. As far as your typical display cases, I've never cared for any that I've seen. Then again, I'm not into that type of decor. My guns are out in the open for home protection, or they're locked in a steel safe. I'm not about displaying for the world to see.

I ensure that I am always in the exact opposite direction in which the muzzle is pointing. And yes, I'm talking about guns that are loaded or presumed to be unloaded. And I never take my eye off the firearm. NEVER. I am now very uncomfortable if a firearm is pointed in my general direction, even if the slide or cylinder is open. Call me crazy, but after that close call, I am beyond cautious. It takes only a split second for something to go horribly wrong, and I'd rather look like a chicken s**t instead of that being my LAST split second. Just not worth it.

Very scary, indeed. I had a similar situation happen to me while a customer of mine was clearing his XD45. The round ricocheted off of a slab of granite being used to make a counter top, and was only inches from drilling a hole in my stomach. Had this guy angled the weapon just ever so slightly, him and I would have had a very, very bad day. Obviously this kind of thing can, and too often does happen to ANYONE who fails to keep 100% focused on the proper of handling of a fiream. Disaster takes only a split second. This customer of mine was one of the last people I would have expected to make such an error. He's a life-long owner of firearms, and has been an avid competitive shooter for a very long time. I was probably too laxed in the past, but after this incident, I no longer trust anyone who's handling a firearm. I am now always extra precautions when I'm in a setting where someone around me is doing anything with firearms.

Since I'm trying to watch what I eat, but also wanted to give my girlfriend a break from the kitchen, we tried some of that KFC grilled chicken. It was pretty good.

Sure! I bet you have some of those "collectable" nijna stars, too.

He sleeps with a Megadong? Is that the one from strickj's Intimate Pleasures catalog?

Well, I'd definitely call 911 right away, but I doubt I'd get anywhere near someone I was forced to shoot.

To hell with you, I say. Go tinkle up a rope for all I care.

If you haven't noticed, the 1st Amendment doesn't count on privately owned websites. And from what I can tell, no one has stopped you from voicing your opinion. Many don't agree, and they've let you know this. But no one has forced you to shut up.

Voted! Agree - 317 Disagree - 64

I'm really amazed at the number of people on this site who can't handle opinions of other members. Not just politics, but other subjects, too. Some of you really need to quit taking yourselves so seriouslly.

Awwww...How sweet. It's a lovers quarrel.

My boss has the very same Surfire System, and it seems to be very nice. The only problem is, it's too bulky for my liking. It's not bad, but even with my big hands it seemed a bit bigger than I'd prefer. The built in switches are a very nice touch, and they were also very easy to use. I don't have much personal experience with other types of mounts, but I'm sure you can find something much cheaper and just as effective.

You be da man! Thank you very much!

That would be correct. If/When this bill is passed, you will be allowed to carry in bars.

Congrats! That's great! I just got back from another 1 mile walk. Boy, it's getting warm out there. I plan on another 1 miler this afternoon/evening.

That's a good idea. I know it may sound silly, but walking around here by myself would make it much harder to do. But being able to take my friends dog along really makes it more enjoyable. I plan on being out there for another mile in the morning. I cheated a bit and ate some leftover fajita stuff that my girlfriend brought home from the girls night out. I'll have to do an extra 1/2 lap.
