Moped

Actually, my dad has one. I've been thinking about trading him for it, even though it will be mine one of these days.

Went to Gander Mountain at lunch today. Again there was a lack of pistol ammo. When you start looking at the lack of available ammo, a .22 sounds better and better. I looked for a used 10/22 this weekend at the gunshow, but saw nothing affordable. I guess I'll still stick with the Hi-Point Carbine for now.

I not think the Democratic Leadership has changed. However I think in order for them to control both houses the Party had to move to the middle. Those Democrats that come from Red States were the ones that controlled the vote last week. I don't think for a moment, we are totally safe, but it could have been much worse. Of course there are Republicans that cannot be trusted as well (Lamar Alexander). My personal opinion is that both parties are full of vipers and Washington at some point should be cleaned out or we as a free nation are doomed. I trust neither party anymore. I vote now based on the character of each man and woman that is running. I guess that makes me an Independent, but the older I get the more in line my views are with the Liberatarian Party. Still I took encouragement from last weeks vote. I believe that if the Democratic leadership could have stopped that vote in some way they would have done so.

I may try to go next this weekend. I need to zero the scope on the 995 and also try to zero another rifle. I'd love to meet you!

I saw that one, but this wasn't it. This one had one of those yellowish, orange colored stocks and was in really good condition. It was probably a pretty good deal at $110. The other was an old warhorse that needed a lot of tender loving care, that I don't have time to provide. Never even asked the price on it. I think that was the only ones I saw.

Well, maybe it wasn't a good price. $110 out the door.

Didn't have a great deal of money to spend, so I upgraded a shotgun and a High-Point Carbine with new stocks from Ken Arnold's booth. He gave me a great deal! I was happy. Didn't seem to me many people were buying this afternoon. Come very close to picking up a Mosin M-44. Guy had a a decent price, but I was more interested in the stocks by that point. I went looking for a nice ruger 10/22, but didn't see any at a decent price. And like Mike .357, I came a way with a nice cheap knife. Got a Smith & Wesson H.R.T. for $13. A Buddy and my went in on two and got them both for $26. I got no free bandaids though, so I guess I got screwed... Not really, I was happy! It was a nice show.

I went to the Expo Center Gun Show in Knoxville this afternoon and had a pleasent afternoon with a friend. Ended up stopping at Ken Arnold Combat Stocks & Accessories booth and purchasing a a new ATI stock for both my High-Point 995 Carbine and my 870. Then I spent the evening installing them. The one problem I seem to have is that my 15 round magazines don't seem to fit the Hi-Point anymore. Looks like the sleeve down on the bottom is going to have to be filed up a little. Believe that will be a job for tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone else had seen this problem? I really like the way the Hi-Point looks with the ATI stock. Much cleaner in appearance! BTW Ken gave me a great deal on the accessories I purchased. It was much cheaper than going through mail order!!! Here is the web address for him. www.kenarnoldcsa.com.3

I think everyone is missing the big point here. You all are concentrating on the right to carry in the national parks and that's great! But the real point to this, is the Anti-Gunners don't have the votes to stop Pro-Gun laws, little alone have the votes to PASS Anti-Gun Legislation. That is huge!!! You can thank the Red State Democrats for that! They stood up to the pressure from the national liberal leadership and voted for what is right! You can also thank the Republicans for continuing to stand by us! As for Lamar Alexander, it's looking more and more like he is not going to get my vote come the next election.

Out of curiosty, why a CETME? Why not an Smith Enterprises M-14? BTW, I used to do what you, but with the Army Reserve. Best weekend duty I ever had! We also used to shoot Competition for the the 125th ARCOM. Clinton pretty much ended that though.

If it were me, I'd save up some more doe and purchase a Ruger. I don't think would regret it.

I've had one for a couple of years now. Great pistols! You'll love it!

The IOK-47-C with the polymer stock is the one I held this afternoon. It had a pretty good feel to it, not that I'm an AK expert or anything. They also had a CZ52 for $199.99 and TOK for $249.

Hey folks, I was in JFloyds in Sevierville this afternoon and they have 10 or 11 IO AK47s for sale at the price of $599. These had the synthetic stocks or at least the one I handled did. And I believe it's made over in N.C. Don't know how good they are, but I thought I'd pass it along. Seemed like a good price compared to what I've been seeing else where.

That's pretty much the way traditional western holsters were made. Growing up I can remember watch Paladin on TV. He had one of those fancy Hollywood fastdraw holsters with the steel shank in the back and slung down low on the leg. Nothing authentic about. This loop holster is much more like a cowboy would have been wearing.

Of course! Three of them to be exact. One, I'm showing my love for the Tennessee Volunteers. Two, it helps me find my last post fast. That way I can skip the stuff I should already have read and move on to the stuff that was posted after I made my last comments. Third, I like to be a little different.

I have a second generation Colt Agent .38spl that I carry in a pocket sometime. It conceals quite well and is a six shot to boot. I feel more than adequately armed with it. It's also deadly accurate at 15 yards or longer.

Believe it or not, but today I read an editorial that accused Harry Reid of being the one that is holding this up. My guess is the reason he is holding this up, is because the Democrats don't have the votes to ratify it. The Democrats made big gains in 2006 when Pelosi became speaker, but the gains, which were in conservative districts and states, were actually conservative Democrats that will not vote for gun control. Thank God for small miricles! Other wise we'd have AWB back already. Not all Democrats are against us. We need to reward those that stand with us on this issue. Please bear that in mind.

Yesterday afternoon, Gander Mountain in Knoxville still had a bunch of .40S&W. They also had .22 .32 S&W Long, .44 Mag, .45 GAP and .45 ACP. Some of the .45 ACP was 185gr HPs. I think it was $48 a box... bit high for my tastes. Them seemed to have plenty of .223 and shotgun ammo.

There was one up on GOLSN a couple of months back. It's on my list to purchase. I've always wanted one. Makes a lot of sense from a bugout gun prospective.

I second that AMEN!!! You said everything I was thinking!

I've humped one. They are decent for the price you usually can get them at, but there are more comfortable and better packs out there. Just depends on what you want. One thing an ALICE has that most other packs don't, is a quick release. Don't know if that matters to you much. And also you sure can stick a lot of crap on them though!

I think those of us here in Tennessee, need not worry about being a minority if we a bit right of center. Looks like I qualify. Sadly I don't see myself as a threat to the Government. Lou Dobbs had a segment about this tonight. I watched it and just shook my head. To my mind Homeland Security looks like it is turning into what I feared it would be all along. Believe it or not, I don't blame Obama for this. I thought it was a stupid and dangerous idea to begin with. "W" is the one that must take responsiblity for unleashing what looks to be turning into a monster, on us.

How bout a ban on idiot editors!
