I either forgot or never knew they had their own stores. I have mixed feelings about it. I appreciate that they did not decide to "post" their stores, but I'd rather they didn't feel the need to write the letter. Oh, well...I don't wear their overpriced jeans, anyway.

I was pleased enough to see some 100pks of Winchester Super X 22lr that I almost completely missed the 1000pk of M22 and multiple 555pks of Winchester 22lr. About $7, $51, and $28 respectively.... This was at the local Walmart. BTW, the box of M22 is gone.

You bet! And, like the others have said I hope you stick around on TGO.

At least the gun wasn't in her purse.

I waited in line to vote for about forty (40) minutes this evening.

Perhaps they could put in a little extra effort and contour them to match the proportions of some common rounds.

Either that or he had a miserably sore neck from constantly looking over his shoulder...

I am quite surprised that the Commercial Appeal has published the correction on the front page of their website right next to Arnold Palmer's death. I'll be more surprised if it's still featured so prominently tomorrow morning. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/regional/tennessee-five--not-105--accidental-gunshot-deaths-in-2014-3d5cb0d3-5ada-6faf-e053-0100007fae4f-394752981.html

I've prayed for you and your wife, and I will continue to do so. There have been many good comments, and I hope they bring you at least a little solace.

He has some odd ideas about how to test things. I watched the first one about the effectiveness of "hyper" ammo and one testing the theory of using bird shot for home defense--not sure if that's one of the ones that was posted above. The testing method was pretty reasonable for the bird shot one.

I am disappointed to hear this. I'd hoped the trigger would break sooner in single action mode on the G2 version of that part of Taurus' line. It definitely takes some work to adjust to such a late break.

How depressing. All but the guy at the poverty line thought tax rates were okay, and that guy wanted to tax the rich. And, I had no idea union dues were that high for a poverty level worker. Unless those dues include some meaningful health insurance or pension that's disgusting!

I suspect that was part of the article to which he linked, but I'm not sure because I'm one of those cheapskates that don't subscribe. Not only would the government like to track guns, they'd like to track cash, too.

In Shelby County the judge that seems to be the primary liaison with the Jury Commissioner said that our service was particularly valuable for that precise reason. Apparently it's not unusual for the presence of the potential jurors to cause defendants to reconsider taking a plea deal. While it's wasteful that they didn't take the deal sooner, it's cheaper than taking it to trial. The first of my jury duty experiences ended in a similar fashion. The judge was Joe Brown before his days as a "TV star". The difference was that they had not seated anyone into the jury box. The potential jurors were all in the vestibule awaiting admittance to the court room when the plea deal went down.

I saw a few comments, and that was enough. People can sure be crude.

Don't look now, but TGO appears to use Google analytics, too. There is a lot of drivel on twitter, but I've found it can be quite useful. I see it as particularly useful for businesses and other organizations to get the word out on late breaking news or as "push notifications" to notify individuals of things they've published. A specific example would be for event cancellations due to inclement weather. I don't have a twitter account for what that's worth.

Nice...but I take it you weren't talking on an expensive smart phone. :-)

I found it odd that they seemed to have no interest in the cash register, but they did steal a customer's wallet. I was amused that they kept trying to kick in that safe room door that opens out. Obviously that didn't work out so well for them. Finally, the sensationalized narration annoyed me. I'm certainly glad no one seemed to be hurt.

Here's another potential buying opportunity. The value being offered at this "Turn It In" event doesn't seem to be specified..."gift cards" or "zoo passes". I'm not sure if Daniel Connolly is just lazy or if Janis Fullilove intended to be vague about the value or issuer of said "gift cards". http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/crime/gun-turn-in-program-set-for-saturday-39e6fbf1-e376-7e12-e053-0100007ff1d6-390045721.html

The settlement website was finally updated. It indicates that the judge did approve the settlement on 7/22/2016. However, it states "The claims filing process cannot begin until the appeals process concludes." And, it states there has already been an appeal. https://www.tauruscartersettlement.com/

The settlement website has not been updated, but Law360 indicates that the judge did give final approval last week. http://www.law360.com/articles/820419/judge-oks-239m-class-settlement-over-faulty-guns Unfortunately they also have an article regarding claims that Taurus is not replacing all of the affected pistols. They want to inspect them first. I'm not sure what there is to inspect if this is really a design flaw. http://www.law360.com/articles/817228/taurus-reneging-in-30m-faulty-gun-deal-court-told

A guy at work said he's been there since the change and liked it. I've never shot there, and I have not been in the store since the new owner opened up shop.

I like the presentation with the bark and leaves. Nicely done... Oh, and nice pistol... :-)

Thank for you for the transcription. I wish I'd noticed that before I read the other image Oh Shoot posted (thanks OS!). I agree. It's sad to see. I understand the statement they're trying to make, but I think unity is more important. I'd have rather they did it quietly, but I reckon they were mainly out to boost their own image among the die-hards. Perhaps I'm too cynical.

I'd be glad to see Target humbled some. Kohl's is actually down more over the last three (3) months, but I'd see Walmart as the closest comparison. I guess we shall see as the year progresses.
