As Willie Nelson once said:  "...Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son a man had to answer for the wicked that he done take all the rope in Texas find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys hang them high in the street for all the people to see that..."  From the song of Beer for My Horses, Toby Keith and Willie Nelson duet.

I heard it is being considered, but the kids are in danger is the hold up! 

Don't forget!  Spring forward an hour, and lose an hour of sleep on Sunday March 9, 2014!   https://www.google.com/search?q=daylight+savings+time&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=sb

If you are truly on the path of growing firearms, buy a safe, a good safe, assuming if you do not have one already. 

Every gun is loaded or the concept there of. 

I honestly didn't want to stir the pot, but I had not seen anyone talking about this here.  I know if any of you can get to Walmart or other preferred places, and get some 7.62, now is the time.  I know by me posting this thread is feeding the machine, but hey we all should have learned something over the past 15 months, if not from the election of 2008.

Tagged for later.

Caster did you watch or assume the results. If you assumed, it does not end like you think it does. It's all about the boys dad.

Couldn't sleep well last night, reading a lot of other gun sights.  Much internet noise about a run on 7.62x39 and other Russian ammo due to the conflict that is unfolding.  Some believe O is going to ban all imports.  I am sure it reads like a whole lot of hype, and I am not one to stir up trouble ;) , and I don't shoot 7.62x39, but I know there is a lot of folks that do.  Be your own judge, and either become a hoarder, or let it pass you by, or bunk it for whats it worth!   http://www.silverdoctors.com/breaking-ammo-rush-begins-again-as-russia-halts-soviet-ammunition-exports-to-the-us/ http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/a-run-on-ammunition-has-begun-russia-has-reportedly-halted-all-exports-to-the-us-of-russian-made-ammunition_03062014 http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/03/run-ammunition-begun-russia-reportedly-halted-exports-us-russian-made-ammunition/ http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/03/robert-farago/post-russian-invasion-ak-ammo-panic-buying-is-go/      

I cried like a baby, you must watch this video about a boy who finds $20, and gives it to a active service member at Cracker Barrel.  It doesn't end like you think!  If you do not have an emotional reaction, you must be superman!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bwSLPE4ecU

I know an old codger that claims to have worn an ankle holster for 50+ years.  He has a small business and handles large sums of cash.  I have seen the gun once and the holster.  The gun was an old smith, which appeared to have had its better days way back, and the holster sure was quite worn.  Its funny, ever since he told me, I notice he only wears bell bottom looking pants, and the pants look vintage 1970s polyester type looking pants.  Likely the old codger was telling the truth. 

Enjoy while you can.  When I was a late teen and into my 20s, large Toyotas 4x4 and sound systems was my thing.  At age 46, I just keep everything bone stock, and take the disposable income for baseball equipment, family vacations, (and pssst. an occasional gun buy)!  The rest just goes into the bank for the kids braces and funds for a future water heater replacement or A/C replacement. 

Fellers (& gals) its a new month, and you know what that means. I don't really care for the gun, but I will take it if I win. You in my friend! http://www.sigsauer.com/Promotions/Sweepstakes.aspx

I agree on the Subaru.  You can faintly see the Subaru emblem in the grill.

This is fun.  Just so that we are aligned with our terms, define "effective"?  And do you care theorize why many PD have the 40 and not the 9mm, or is that silly? 

Simply, I don't care. 

First, I can't argue against bigger holes, and hitting vital areas, even a stick or other object can be impaled into ones vital area, and cause immediate loss of life.  Not going to question what you witnessed, its your witness.  However I did provide a link to my story, in case there were a doubting Thomas out there.    A couple of things you are leaving out for others to read, the law of physics can not be ignored.  Example, Newtons's 2nd Law,  Force = mass x acceleration applies even with little bullets as well.  Do the math of a 22LR 40 gr @ 1,400 fps vs. 9mm 115gr @ 1,200 fps vs. 40S&W 180gr @ 1,000 fps vs. 357Sig 125gr @ 1350 fps, which round has more force upon impact?  Force does matter when the assailant is in full charge towards you in a threatening matter.  2nd, can you logically explain why 20 years ago, most LEO had just switched from 38 or 357 to 9mm, but today a very low percentage have 9mm, with the majority having 40S&W?  I don't think the move was to save tax dollars, but rather on the job experience and expectations!  Finally, using your argument, it doesn't matter what caliber you use, then why doesn't LEO carry Smith 41 or Ruger Mark III 22LR to save the tax payer money?   Finally, why do hunters of big game, I mean really big game, use larger caliber guns?  Is it due to their ego?  I don't think so!  Stopping power and instant death, but it does mean proper shot placement!   Not attacking you, just your argument since you jumped on my wagon about "why" I left 9mm!

I bet that cost a buck.

Thank you.  I needed that.  Cold chills on my arms!  Whew!  I miss President Reagan! 

Already sent!

I think FIE (Firearms Import Export of Miami, FL) are from Brazil.  It will be tough to find direct replacement.  You may have to repair what you have or have something custom made.    This place shows they are sold out, but there are other models to look at: https://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/FIE-33236/Shotguns-36173/BR2-40839.htm?page=3

I like'em!

Doc says I have to watch my blood pressure, this post sure isn't helping.  Posts like this is shortening my lifespan, and the US Economy needs me, I work and pay taxes!

We need more people to step up like Lionsfan!  Thank you.   You know this is a case to increase minimum wage.  These poor old counter folks who are making $7.25 an hour, they have to eat, so I am sure they have kickbacks not because they are bad folk, but because they have to eat!  They need to make $20 per hour, so they can live a comfortable life, and they will then never unhandily sell ammo again!  :rofl:

I think if you research the 357Sig and why some PD have moved away from 40 to 357Sig, the engine block theory will be debunked.   BTW I did lose respect over 9mm based upon this story from Knoxville in 1995, I think this guy took 5 shots of 9mm by TBI agents and lived: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1842&dat=19940709&id=vgMiAAAAIBAJ&sjid=7scEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6344,1082795
