Sir, you are correct. I usually get an email or a facebook anouncement on deals there too, here is the link and ad: http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/18370/s/beretta-92s-italian-police-trade-in-s-9mm/ [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/PSABERETTA_zpsf2073a8b.jpg.html][/URL]

Crossbreed for me. I have about 5 for my various rotation. I like their background as a company.

Got an email from these folks, great deal on used Italian police trade in Beretta 92S @$297.00. Be warned due to the mag release button, 92FS or M9 mags may not work with out the notch. Link to the deal: http://www.topgunsupply.com/beretta-model-92-s-italian-police-imports.html [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/Beretta92S_zpsfddde660.jpg.html][/URL] I admit I did not know anything about 92S, this is what I found: In order to meet requirements of some law enforcement agencies, Beretta modified the Beretta 92 by adding a slide-mounted combined safety and decocking lever, replacing the frame mounted manual thumb safety. This resulted in the 92S which was adopted by several Italian law enforcement and military units. The later relocation of the magazine release button means these models (92 & 92S) cannot necessarily use later magazines, unless they have notches in both areas.

Very thankful these men made it their business, to push their beliefs, push their ideas, and push their judgment onto society. We need more men and women to do the same today, and not be scared or intimidated of what their neighbor or friend may think or voice about them.

I honestly believe I am nearing the end to complete my gun collection, with only a few more to go, before I can say done! What are the guns that are a must on your list before you kick the bucket, a serious and realistic list, and please share why. Mine: 1.) Glock 19gen 2, cheezy for a bucket list, but I need one to complete my collection. 2.) Dan Wesson 1911 Valor, I still don't have my first 1911 3.) Savage 10/110 FCP HS Precision 308 or 300 Win Mag, I was originally wanting a Remington M24 or something similar, changed my mind mind after reading multiple articles on the Savage. 4.) Sig Sauer MK25, Just want the anchor. 5.) Ruger Super Redhawk 44Mag with a 9 1/2" barrel, have always wanted one since I was 18, just too many other guns got in the way. 6.) Another high end 22LR bolt action, for another heirloom.

For the record, it will take 8 to 10 to carry me. Not a light person. BTW always carry on the feet side, much lighter, about slipped one time, which would have caused a bad chain reaction. :shhh:

Every serious gun owner has owned or still has either a Winchester or Marlin lever action. I agree the older the better. I for one like older dark walnut stocks. I currently have three, a Marlin 30AW 30/30, Winchester 94XTR (carbine), and Winchester 9422. Would like to own a pistol caliber though.

I knew I would take a lot of criticism from my response, but I just believe that life is special and very precious. As society looses this concept, and hides, yes hides behind I respect choices, and who am I to judge others, the precious human life becomes more distant and grows cold with value. We already murder children before they are born by no fault of their own, we are already on the path to let terminally ill people kill themselves and we promote it as if that was honorable and respectful. Oregon already allows medical help to help qualified terminally ill people end their life. What is next? Let people die because its too costly to treat the medical conditions, murder mentally ill people because their quality of life and society cannot be compared, people with certain religious affiliations, legalize all illegal drugs so people can do what they want, get rid of people with red hair, people who are fat, people who smoke, people who don't wear motorcycle helmets, and so on. Once we take away the sanctity of life, where does it stop. All life is precious and deserves protection. Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness was once just a dream. I guess that should be changed to just Liberty and pursuit of happiness............... :2cents:

I don't agree about who are we not to tell someone they can't end their life. With anything precious, we should do all that we can do to protect it, even if it is not ours. People need to help people, not ignore people. Society places to much emphasis on judging or the perception of judging. Suicide is the most selfish act anyone can ever do, with absolutely no regard to loved ones, friends, and people in their lives.

Sorry, my IP address will never ever show on MSNBC website for them to use to show to their paying advertising customers of how many hits they had, even if its a gun poll. If it was Fox, a different story. I simply dislike strongly any of the 3 big networks news, MSNBC, CNN and alike. I think we chased this same rabbit about 9 mos ago.

In my roll at church, I have had the experience over the years to see people suffer from disease and be in their presence when they pass away. I have lost a many family members to cancer and heart disease. I am not scared to die, for I absolutely know my fate. However, the process of dying does scare me. I believe all life is precious and is very scared. For me to make a decision to end my own life regardless of circumstances, personally, socially, economically, or illness, I cannot phantom that thought, it goes against my DNA of who I am, and what I believe, but I do believe people are charged to make a positive difference with someone up to their last breath, regardless if that is their last breath is in peace or in agony. The positive impact could be with a nurse at the hospital, a doctor, ambulance driver, a neighbor, a friend, a loved one, a story in the newspaper to thousands, a post in internet, or who knows. The promotion of murder (to me suicide is murder) regardless of mercy or not, should never be in the public eye. The promotion of all life is scared from inception to the last draw of breath, is what mankind needs, should protect and above all be thankful for! Be a positive inspiration, or shut the pie hole!

Jose Canseco shoots hand while cleaning gun.
runco replied to suspiciousmind's topic in General Chat
I liked Jose when he first arrived on the scene in the 80s, but quickly turned against him and his attitude. I think he was one of the first active players to require a fee for his autograph! No tear in my eye here! -

If he needs the money, so be it. What are we really going to learn that was not mentioned in No Easy Day, Mark Owen? Other than an identity?

I feel like a kid with a new toy. Its refreshing to see and to hold a rifle over a carbine, even though I have a A2, this is sweet! First, last week I received this notice from Buds: Today, received the UPS notice my item had been delivered, and tonight I am taking pictures of this:

Car/Cow accident question (not wife or I) no pictures
runco replied to vontar's topic in General Chat
I am no attorney, but in a civil case the need to prove preponderance of evidence would weigh heavy with a dead cow, nearby field, nearby fence repair, and etc. No need to prove without doubt, just preponderance only. I think this would be a slam dunk settle out of court type of deal based upon what I read. Recommend an attorney, and seek damages from any/all pastures in the immediate area, i.e. 1 mile radius. Someone will settle BTW, what can she recoup above and beyond the value of the car of which she will be compensated by the insurance? Was she hurt? Did she lose any work? Pssst, since TN has the road kill law, I would have taken the cow to the butcher, can anyone say NY Strip baby! :yum: -
I really don't know. My shop never had heat! I did borrow one of those jet heaters one time, though it was hot, the noise was not worth the heat!

In my older age, I am not sick of this hot weather. Here is some good reading from earlier this year if you think its too hot. I would rather have this hot weather we are having this week than this: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/74442-polar-vortex-jan-6th-2014/?hl=%2Bpolar+%2Bvortex

Little scope walk on the thread, that is why I don't get mad when Walmart has only 4-5 registers open, and large lines. I like the prices of Walmart, and I don't want to pay for alot of overhead! I didn't use to be that way though, but I am more tempered now. Everything has a cost! Everyone wants your money.
