I love my Clash! :)

The CRKT Minimalist Bowie is one I would buy if I could find one, locally.  I also like the CRKT SPEW, and the Boker Rambler, But  the one that I would really like to have is the Esee Izula.II  I never was much of an Eskabar fan for the same reason as you, OS.  There isn't much of a point for defensive purposes.

To me, anything over 4" or 5" is a big knife.  For a general use fixed blade knife, I like a blade between 3.5 to 4" inches.  But I have a Joe Hargis Custom, that I find very handy.  For pocket carry, my tastes very depending on my mood, so I'm not sure that I'm a good gage.  I might carry anything from a Camillus U.S. Knife made in 1982, to an Opinel No. 9, to a Case Sodbuster, to a RAT 3.So that's a blade length of 2.5" to 3.75".

Unless a future President pulls out of the treaty, before the Senate can ratify it. 

So what you are looking for is a dagger.  A 4" long blade is pretty large for a neck knife.  I would think it would be hard to conceal, depending on your body type.  You might have better luck with a push dagger design like a Cold Steel Urban Pal or a Safe Keeper.

Well, the French people have no one to blame, but themselves.  We are in the same damned boat!

Shockingly terrible!   Hearing that they had evacated the 4th and 5th graders out of harms way to a nearby church , but didn't have enough buses to get the K thru 3rd graders out.

I'd filter it.  Honestly, it's not hard to make a filter for rain water.  Look it up on the internet.  All the things you need are easily available in abundance.  There are lots of plans on line.

Personally, think the ID for a gun blue kit is stupid, but I do like Academy Sports.  for all the reasons noted above, plus they have good camping gear there cheap.  Was in there looking for an air rifle or pistol on Friday.  They had a good deal on the Crosman 1377 if anyone is looking for one, $39.  Almost bought it, but I was looking for one in .22.

I'm 50 years old now and I've never changed the transmission fluid in any vehicle I've owned.  I've never had a problem.  Got a Nissan Quest, which is perhaps the most expensive vehicle I've owned and it has around 160k on it and it's going strong.  Don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon,as it paid off and is now classified as the best vehicle in the world.  This is also the last new vehicle I will ever purchase as well.  Buying new is a total waste of money, since it depreciates 25% the minute you drive it off the lot.  Got a 99 Maxima that we purchased 5 years ago for $6000 and 110K on it.  It's got close to 200k on it now and I've paid very little for maintence beyond an oil change every 6k miles. new tires and brake pads.  Paid it of in 3 years.  It also classifies as the best car ever!   I look at cars as a necessary evil and not an extension of my personality.  Money I save on cheap cars, goes towards stuff I like to do like shoot, camp, attend my kids sports events, read and just about everything else in life.

Thanks for all the posts here!  I got my first serious entry level air rifle yesterday and have already put around 75 pellets down range in my new backyard range!  It's nice not to have to load up and go to the range, when you want to do a little shooting.  I picked up a Benjamin Titan .22 yesterday at a local pawn shop for $65.  This was my 50th birthday present to myself.   I've been wanting a somewhat serious air rifle for about a year now, but decided this week to pull the trigger so to speak.  So on my day off, yesterday, I went around Knoxville checking out what everyone had to offer, which really wasn't much.  I had a bit of time to kill before picking up my youngest at school and stopped in at a pawn shop near our house.  And low and behold there was a Benjamin Titan GP .22 on the wall!  I walked out with it and after picking her up at school we went to Wallyworld for some pellets and a trap.  The trap was actually probably a waste of money, because it's not going to last long.  At 10 yards, the .22 Crosman Premiere HP pellets are  denting it up pretty bad.   I was watching EdGunUSA last night and he was talking about a pellet box with several different makes and weights of pellets that one of the major internet sellers what selling.  I may investigate that.  Sounds like an easy way to to tryout the various brands of pellets available, to see which one works best with your rifle.   Here are the links to the Straight Shooters Full Pellet Samplers.   .177 - http://www.straightshooters.com/straight-shooters-full-pellet-sampler-.177.html   .22 - http://www.straightshooters.com/straight-shooters-full-pellet-sampler-.22.html

Went to a local pawn shop here in Knoxville and picked up a Benjamin NP Titan for $65 in .22!  This is one hard hitting rifle!!!  Definitely going to be the Bugging In Meat catcher!!!

That will not happen.  Obama is not that stupid and it he actually tried, the House and Senate would shoot it down quickly.  Washington Politicians do not want to run for re-election with such a tax in place.

Come on down to Tennessee, patron state of shootin' stuff!  You will like it here.  We have good hunting, mild winters, and no state taxes.  We have mountains, valleys, plains, lots of lakes and rivers for fishing.  We have large cities and small ones.  If you can think of it, we probably have it. Maybe not on the scale of NYC, but we are happy with it! :)   I recommend you come down for a vacation and travel the state to see what area you might like.

I think you are right.  The Press seems to be turning on the Obama Administration, a bit.  Like the sharks they are, they are smelling blood and starting to circle.  Want to bet on whether or not the current administration, throws Hilary under the bus, if the attention starts getting too hot? :)

I don't see it being tested anytime soon either.  Got to have someone willing to spend time in the pokey if we lose and I don't see any takers yet.

I've always wanted one of those Swedes!!!  Congrats on a great looking rifle!!!

An inexpensive Marlin 1864 in .357...  I know I will never find something like that, but I can dream, can't I! :/

I hate to tell them this, but once it was uploaded to the internet, the cat was out of the bag.  They might make it illegal, but they can never erthatase the files from the internet, at this point. I'll even go so far as to say many have already been made.   The Latex comment made me remember something.  I saw an interesting article on the news the other day.  A Doctor is experimenting with creating human ears with a 3D printer.  This is for children that are born without ears.  He uses laboratory grown human cartilage material (yes they can do that now aday.  They scan in an ear shape that fits the child and print it with this live cartilage material and then grow it in the lab.  It's in testing now.  I guess when it finally gets in use, they will graft skin over the cartilage and then attach it to the child.  Pretty amazing stuff!!!

Yep!  Just the fact that you post here in this forum, puts you on a list. 

I bet this is a beast to shoot and probably wouldn't earn much range time.I have medium sized hands that the grip looks like it would disappear into!

I have enough .22 on hand to take care of a lot of walkers.  I was set before the shortage began. :)

I've watched them all, but nothing compares to Firefly, IMO.  I'm enjoying Defiance though.  Pretty good show so far.  Amanda and Kenya are really on the easy on the eye, but Stahma is totally HOT!!! :yum:

Lautenberg is a dumbass.  This is his last term.  It can't end soon enough!.

I wasn't planning on shooting the living.  A .22 takes care of zombies just fine.  Plus you can carry a ton of rounds for them. I will still be taking out walkers long after you all have run out of ammo.  BTW, I'm hanging with OS when the Zombie Apocalypse starts! :)
