I 100% agree with you.  I am concerned about the millennials.    I happen to work with people that call themselves millennials, their work ethic is horrible.  Its hard for us to keep them, I am not talking about minimum wage or entry factory work, I am talking about college graduates working as professionals.  Apparently this is a new culture of people.  These are the people that will replace us someday.  I believe its us older folk that will have to tow the line.

I was checking the used Glock 17 magazines that were $13.95, but they are sold out.  You can setup a email notification with Aim if needed.  They do have the Magpuls for $15.15. 

I have reloaded several hundred, but it wasn't fun.  Very much like reloading necked rifle cases.  Love the snap feel though!  I have the Glock 32 Gen2, 33 Gen2 and a Sig P229, would like to have the G33 someday.

Welcome, isn't Columbia the Mule capital? 

Unless you are a hunter that hunts in all types of weather, go with wood!  I too am old school, all my long guns except one 22 and the ARs are wood!  With that said, I wouldn't care to have a Remington 700 in stainless and synthetic.

Welcome, Dandridge is a cool place. 

This risk is saving me from having to drive this PM, but it only postpones it. 

When the 10mm bug bit me a few years ago, I went with the 20 in Gen2.  The day I went to the range to shoot it for the 1st time, I brought along the 17, 21, 23, and then 31 to see the recoil differences before the 20, and then I shot the 20.  I found the 23, 31 and 20 to be similar, with the 20 being the strongest, but not as I imagined.  Very reasonable.  I only waited 1 hour before going to the ER with a broke wrist! ;)

Looks like the ole Armslist is back!  I wonder why, to do a fix, or too many complaints?  I like the old version!

Either the value will go up, or will plummet. 

Oops, I swear I searched for another thread.  See that another was started.  Sorry!

Bump, 9 days remain on this offer.  Also, would make a great gift for someone. 

I don't have any skin in this, but Knox county residents need to be aware of this: http://www.wbir.com/news/local/mom-wants-to-limit-firearm-discharge-in-knox-co/7392809 Mom wants to limit firearm discharges in Knox Co. One Knox County woman wants the county to limit the discharge of weapons. She says weapons firings make her feel unsafe. Dec. 22, 2015 Becca Habegger 7:40 PM. EST December 22, 2015 Knox County mom Lisa Blair-Rogers wants the county to limit firearms discharges in the county. CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN (NORTH KNOX COUNTY) One Knox County woman is asking commissioners to limit the shooting of firearms in residential areas. Lisa Blair-Rogers lives in Knox County, just north of Fountain City. Her neighborhood is not in a particularly remote area, and houses are spaced about as far apart as they might be in some neighborhoods located within city limits. During the public forum section of Monday's Knox County Commission meeting, Blair-Rogers told commissioners one of her nearby neighbors routinely fires his gun in his yard. Lisa Blair-Rogers addresses Knox County commissioners at Monday night's meeting "I don't feel safe walking outside my home, not knowing when it's going to happen - what time of day, what time of night...Recently, it's happened after dark, and that's disconcerting," she told WBIR 10News in an interview Tuesday. "The second that you miss your target and it goes into my backyard and hits my child or my dog, that's where the problem is," she explained. Knox County is more densely populated than it once was, and Blair-Rogers thinks the county needs some kind of regulation on firing a gun. In Knoxville, for example, it's illegal to discharge a firearm in city limits. "You would think, just in my logical mind, if the city could have an ordinance that said, 'We won't let you shoot your gun at all,' that the county could at least look at some type of ordinance," Blair-Rogers said. "I think probably distance from each other's front doors might be a good place to start." However, county law director Bud Armstrong said, state law limits gun regulation to public parks, and "beyond that, the county has no power over firearms, at all, from a regulatory standpoint...(It) can't keep you from shooting a gun on your own property in a safe and secure manner." It's different, he said, if someone is violating a noise ordinance or acting recklessly, in the latter of which criminal charges could be pressed. Possibly conflicting information is found in a 2013 opinion from the Tennessee Attorney General's office, regarding local government's ability to prohibit or limit the discharge of firearms. In it, the AG's office said, a local government entity may "prohibit by ordinance the discharge of firearms within its jurisdiction...so long as the local ordinance does not conflict with Tennessee statutes or regulations that regulate the discharge of firearms, including proclamations, rules, and regulations of the (Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency) related to permitted hunting in areas under its jurisdiction." State statute, it went on to find, does not expressly reserve authority to regulate firearm discharge. As such, the AG's office said, state law leaves the regulation of firearm discharge up to local governments, so long as those regulations don't "conflict with any other State statute or regulation." For example, the opinion says, "a municipal ordinance prohibiting firearms discharges would not be enforceable against an individual who has been lawfully permitted to engage in hunting within the city limits by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency." Read that full opinion HERE. Blair-Rogers said she still questions whether the county can't regulate the discharge of firearms. With two children, Blair-Rogers said, nearby gunfire is disconcerting and she'd like to see some kind of restriction. "I know we have to stay within state laws, but, you know, past that, I don't see why we couldn't consider something," she said. She added the county will only get more densely populated, especially with the upcoming creation of two new middle schools. Blair-Rogers and her county commissioner, Amy Broyles, plan on meeting to discuss possible options.

If he did, it ain't working! 

For quick relief of a runny nose and sorethroat, I have used this concoction: Saline nasal spray Allegra

Don't know about you, but where is winter? I don't like the hard colt bitter stuff, but I do like a little chill in the air and a snow flake or two. So today is the first official day of winter of 2015, and is this is the weather outlook for my area: [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/whereiswinter_zpsqoftequr.jpg.html][/URL]

If its a heirloom, its value will be priceless. 

When I was younger, say 20+ years ago, I modified everything.  Cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATV, jetskis, guns, myself (weight, working out, hair styles), and etc, but I never modified women, always kept them they way they came (they usually modified themselves).  Anyway where was I, experience has taught me.......................just keep it simple and the way it left the factory.   Reliability means more than window dressing and some performance enhancement gadgets.  Trust me, it may sound cool, may even be cool, but aftermarket items, and DIY tricks, increase the risk of failure and malfunction.  Trust me, I use to hold hands with Murphy a lot, but I noticed Murphy showed up a lot more when I tinkered with something vs. when I left good stuff alone. 

Not sure if the GM and Toyota are the same or similar type, but 25+ years ago, my Toyota 4x4 quit working.  As I recall, it was the spring and a lot of grime in the hubs.  Little cleaning, and swapping out parts, and good as new.   I use to run with my hubs locked at all times, many of times back then didn't want to get out in the mud or other conditions to lock those things.

The Plan finalizes a global settlement of all outstanding issues in the cases, achieved through a consensus reached among Colt’s key stakeholders, including a consortium of Colt’s secured lenders, Morgan Stanley as the lender under Colt's pre-petition and post-petition secured term loan facilities, the official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in Colt’s bankruptcy cases, Sciens Capital Management and the landlord at Colt’s West Hartford facility. In conjunction with today’s confirmation, Colt also announced that it has reached an agreement with the United Auto Workers Union that resolves issues relating to retiree medical benefits. “Today we achieved the last important milestone on Colt’s path to emerging from Chapter 11 as a stronger and more competitive company,” said Dennis Veilleux, President and Chief Executive Officer of Colt Defense LLC.  Mr. Veilleux added, “We greatly appreciate the dedication and support of our extraordinary employees during this process, as well as the support we received from our financial stakeholders, Sciens Capital and our customers and vendors.” 

Scanning is old technology, one should worry about the microchip that secret government satellites can detect the location and listen in on!  :tinfoil:  :panic:

The day ended w/o any EO.  I am glad I am wrong for a change...............Say also inn honor of Star Wars ROTJ.............Oh no, my young Jedi.  You will find that it is you who are mistaken, about a great many things. 

About 16 years ago, when Walmart sold the Direct tv dish and receivers, I remember installing mine by myself, with the windows open and the tone thingy.  Never experienced any reception issue whatsoever for years.  Well until I cut the cord, and started racking up extra gun hobby money. 

If accurate and true, and is based upon a broader plan to involve all FFL, though I don't like it, and I hope pro gun organizations lobby to stop, but to take a ole democrat line I once heard...............The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, but O on the other hand is a different fear.
