  1. We should never turn our own over to others. What they are doing is the right thing to do. He is out of the country. He will be brought back here and Court Marshalled. If he is convicted, then I hope they give him what he deserves. I read today that the traumatic brain injury was actually a concussion.
  2. The Foxsnews story said the Marine General was the one that ordered and it was for the reason Mike.357 said. To me, it wasn't a big deal either, since they quoted the General taking ownership. I was much more upset about the Obama Flag story.
  3. OS, why do you do this to me? I really like that K631 and now that you all have introduced me to www.exduct.com, I've been on there every night looking at their knives, along with wading through that Bladesforum thread. I'm thinking that I want one of those K630's too. Big fat blade like a ZT300, which I can't afford. Dang, I'm going back to Tacticool again!
  4. Personally, a Mora is a very good value. There are about 30 models, but all are an excellent value! They start at around $10 and go to $60 or higher. They come in carbon steel and also stainless. They come VERY SHARP with a scandi grind. They are excellent at slicing and carving, so they work well around the camp. They are a little light for batoning, but people do it all the time. If they break, you are only out $10 or so, no big deal. The downside of them is the sheaths. They are pretty lame, but it doesn't take much to make another sheath or mod them into something that a lot more handy.. There are all kinds of how to's on the web. If you think they might be something your interested in, I recommend www.ragweedforge.com. Guy name Ragnar runs the site and he's a super guy. You won't find a bigger collection of Mora's. The other thing a bout a Mora is for the price, you can buy several, one for you and one for your girlfriend of under $30. I have 3 of them. A #1, a modded 511 and a 780, which was discontinued a couple of years ago. The last is a laminated blade, the first two are carbon, which I prefer to stainless. I also have a Condor Kumunga, which is just a big Varian. If you are backpacking and hiking both of those are too heavy to carry. You want something light for that. If you like the Becker offerings, then check out the BK11 or the BK14. Both are around 3" inches and very sturdy and both are in your price range for a basic knife. They run $32 and $34 on amazon.com and qualify for free shipping. The BK14 looks like the brother of the Izula above. BTW, if your getting into hiking, backpacking and Bushcrafting, I recommend you check out www.bushcraftusa.com. Great site with lots of good info!
  5. WOW! Wish I had your job! Can't afford to do such things anymore. So you got a Saiga, a WASR and a Colt AR. Not a bad couple of weeks! Just think how that G2 trigger group would feel in that Saiga. I love mine. What caliber did you get in the Saiga?
  6. The Sale goes through the 18th of March.
  7. The Compound does have a "Nessmuck" look to it. I'm not sure which I like better, the Clash or the Compound.
  8. I went to Sevierville today and the Coleman Outlet is having a Sale today. If your in the area, you might want to stop in and check them out. One Example I saw was a 0degree Mummy bag (Big and Tall) for $49.99. That's almost half off. Nice Base Station First Aid Kits were $7.99. The Evanstan Tent was $109. Fleece Sleeping bags were going for $11.99. A backpacking 2 man tent was $49. Just thought I would pass it on to you!
  9. I was a SMKW today and checked out a Kershaw Blurr and the Clash. I think I like the Clash a little better. I'm not a fan of thumb studs. I walked out of there a poorer man than I walked in, but not much poorer. Picked up a Carbone Opinel No. 9 for $8.99, a Gerber Dimond Pocket Sharper for $1.99 and a CRKT Eat'N Tool for $4.99. I'm a happy man!!! Opinels are hard to find in this area!!! I may have to order a Clash from Amazon for $22.93. They are $27 at SMKW. Dang! I'm going Tacticool again!
  10. I vote, don't take the job. Ridiculous gun laws! Land of the Free, my butt!
  11. Just got home and I'm eating supper. But before I came home, I stopped and voted for Romney.
  12. Some more fodder for argument. What about companies that don't own their buildings or land? Should they have the ability to restrict their employee's 2nd Amendment Rights? Most companies lease or rent their space for liability and insurance reasons. What if there are other tenets in the building the do not have such a policy and all employees share a common parking lot, is it fair that a company be able to still restrict a HCP holder the right to have his firearm in his car?
  13. I like the KABAR Doziers as any of the lockblades out there. especiallly the Phat Bob! Really feels good in the hand and has a good heft to it. Very solid knife! BTW, Star Sales on Central Ave, in Knoxville has them for $45.80. SMKW has them $54.99. http://starknives.com/details.asp?PID=1607
  14. I think if it's black, it's probably someone's escaped "pet". If it's tan, then it could just be passing through, like the one up in Connecticut last summer. They traced it all the way back from South Dakota. http://content.usato.../1#.T1Otm_UfhKs
  15. Ouch! I hope they catch whoever did it! I hate thieves!!!
  16. He's been in and out of trouble with the law. Just a fancier form of scam artist. I watched one of his videos back last summer, then decided to check him out on Google. He was convicted of Fraud back in 2007 and has been in and out of trouble with the SEC. Of course, I'm sure it's all a Government conspircy to get him... yeah right!
  17. I'd approach them about prepping for small natural disasters first as Robert says. Once you reach that level, start them along the road to prepping for long term disasters. Baby steps can go along way. And leave out the Zombie takeover. That's sure to spook them!
  18. I'd take any of the three!
  19. Congratulations! I love mine! If you don't do anything else to it, upgrade to a double hook trigger. Really improves the trigger group! I can't recommend them highly enough! Great service!
  20. I know that's sarcasm, but I have to tell you that Santorum scares the hell out of me for that very reason.
  21. Right on!!!
  22. Went and read the comments section to this article on WBIR. There were several posts that were a bit eye opening. This isn't apparently a subdivision in the traditional sense. Yes there are some 1/2 acre lots, but there are some that are much bigger and one is about 50 acres. Also the police did talk to the individual(s) doing the shooting and apparently they were shooting the opposite direction and into a dirt bank or berm. Also this guy apparently is somewhat the neighborhood crank and constantly is posting signs for various things in his yard, Like "Stop videotaping our Children!" and other stuff. Now it does sound like his neighbors need to use a little common sense and maybe curtail the shooting after 5 or 6 o'clock, though the article didn't seem very clear on what time it was exactly the shooting was occuring. I see no need to change any laws in Knox County. I think the neighbors should just talk it out and use a little common sense.
  23. Can't dispute this right now, but one can only hope that one of the Republican Candidates will turn it around. Sadly, that hope is slim at this point. I have more hope of capturing the Senate and keeping the House. That won't help the Supreme Court though.
  24. When did they start importing the ones with the back in already done? Did the BATFE finally through in the towel on the the dumbest rule known to man, 922r?
  25. Newt is right, but he's wrong too. Here's the thing, if we pull out of Afghanistan now, then Al Quida and the Taliban are just going to move back in and sometime in the next ten years we will be attacked again. And then we'll go back there and do it all over again. So do we want to try and fix it or start all over again in later on. Maybe the better question is can we fix it and if not, what is a viable solution?
