Did you not have a stamp?  I plan to go again tomorrow to snare something that I should have snagged today.

Decent show, lots of people.

A couple of weeks ago, I replied to the Gun Addicts Anonymous; Somebody stop me....by Troutburger (http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/77356-gun-addicts-anonymous-somebody-stop-me/), that got me to slow down and reflect on myself. At the same time little did I know that something was occurring that would solve my addiction or at least potentially place me on the path of recovery. My soon to be 9 year old son is in his 4th year of baseball. He has been an average kid, nothing special, his hitting has always been respectful, and well he has always played in the outfield, you get my drift. This season has been different. He has turned the corner, and for the first time in his career has graduated from the outfield to the infield playing 2nd base and he has been tried at Short Stop. Plus, he is also going to be the #1 in the batting lineup. He is really looking sharp in practice! So what does this got to do with my gun addiction and obsession? Well, due to his new and great performance, I have purchased him the new Easton Mako bat, New helmet, New batting bag, new cleats, and a new batting net where he and I can practice his hitting. And I want to reward him even more, like baseball summer camp, and maybe trying him on a travel team. When my wife found the new accessories, the bat alone is $300, she said good grief, you are taking this baseball thing just as bad as your gun obsession. He already has 3 other bats that were more than what you can buy at Walmart. I told the wife, one good thing about this new obsession, I won't be into guns as much or have the time (at least that is what I told her)! So I am on the gun addiction solved wagon, or at least for the next 3 mos. Other than limited on funds, what has been your gun addiction treatment path of recovery, and have you been cured? If you are reading this post on a gun forum, that may be a silly question.

Do you use stripper clips?

Bump to compete against Lenoir City

My check came today!  Whew!

Dang, may have to go to both if its rainy.  I think they are 15 miles apart.

I am a 7.3 owner myself.  Know many people who have had the 6.0, stay away unless you are flushed with cash.  Spend the dough get a 7.3 even with 300K miles, still a better truck than the 6.0. 

You are within 10 min. of Bass Pro

I'm not a animal lover at any level, but that was awful! 

I am not complaining, just tired of it!  I did have a reality check last week.  I spent 4 days in Detroit, Mi, and burrrrrrrr!  It was in 60s and 70s here while I was away, and sunny skies.  Up there cold, misery and cold!  No sunshine!

I have a problem too.  I need help!

This is about 20 minutes from the house. I like the small town shows, not so much for the vendors, but the locals. I don't recollect a show at this venue before. Anyone going? http://www.greatamericanpromotionsllc.com/ [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/sweetwatergunshow_zpsd4369617.jpg.html][/URL]

I plead the 5th.   :shhh:     Just a hint, I likely have a lifetime supply unless the World War Z happens! 

Why so high?  That is the market.  :rofl:   There are several internet sites with reasonable pricing, low to no shipping, and no sales tax.  If you are not in a hurry, I would then recommend those sites.  Here are a few, there are many others, I would also recommend checking out the TGO vendors too: http://www.gtdist.com/ProductDetail.aspx?PartNumber=GLOCK-MAGS http://www.cdnnsports.com/magazines.html?brand=361 http://www.glockmeister.com/High-Capacity/products/32/ http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/26_27_489/Glock/ http://www.gunbroker.com/Glock-Firearms/Browse.aspx?Keywords=Glock&Cats=4014

I always found 84 lumber pricing to be very good.  Try Christmas lumber too.

Cool, my father built something similar for the same purpose.  I think it was on old sewing machine or something. 

A big THANK YOU! I had forgotten how to do this. I went to the form on Eotech's site, and it gave the web address. Just checked and my shows received, but processing. [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/EOTECHREBATESTATUS_zps2caaaf4a.jpg.html][/URL]

One of the better decisions I have made in my gun hobby.  I pulled the trigger December 2012.  Instead of the Challenger, I went with the Lee Classic Press, its a beast.  This site here was a good place to start with:    https://fsreloading.com/   Plus this thread was the most informative thread that I followed quite closely, look at post #5 by Dolomite_supafly: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/56167-good-reloading-starter-kit/

I contribute often!  Very often! 

Did anyone besides me do this?  I have not received my rebate check, have you?  I mailed mine in the week after Christmas, so ~90 days ago.

Took off early from work.  Attended #1 son's soccer practice, and then practiced baseball with #2 and #3 son.  Took the family to CiCi pizza, played a few video games with the kids, then came home.  I did manage to go to Academy to cash in a mother-in-law gift certificate for my bday earlier in the week.  Of course it was gun related. 

My independent feedback:  Heavy, able to bolt it to the floor with hardened 1" bolts, and have some minimal fire rating.  Just remember, a smash and grab kind of thief likely has a crowbar or will rummage through your tools for a saw-all or a sledge hammer.  The door and wall steel gauge should be adequate enough to discourage a crow bar and saw.  The safe should have some challenge causing long periods of time to the smash and grab low information thief.  To the intelligent thief with time, nothing you can do, buy insurance.   One more point, don't tell anyone you have a safe.  Hide it in a closet or a fake wall/room, don't show and tell.  My experience and my :2cents:   Search youtube videos, it will help or discourage you!
