  1. You know, with very few exceptions, maybe we should start having all people take that same test at age 18, even if you are born here. If you fail it, we'll shop you somewhere else for free! You'd only have 18 years to prepare for it!
  2. Personally, I wanna know what his stance on light-saber prohibition is.
  3.   I also think of it like backwards compared to some people. Some people think of it as a hypocrite making money in movies using firearms, I think of it as an anti-gun person telling a pro-gun story.  Lets face it, many of these movies drive sales of firearms:)
  4. Aggravating. I'll continue to watch his films because most of them are entertaining. I watched "Non Stop" two or three times in the same week. I understand that many don't want to "support" such dissenters, but in truth the only thing that would make a difference would be to boycott the entire media industry as a whole. Sure, you have some "pro-gun" actors and tv shows, but do you honestly not accept that even from those the anti-gun media industry makes money? Now, hypocritical of them to do so in cases such as this? Yes. But as stated above, I feel there are many "pro-gun" actors that are publicly "anti-gun" because that is what it takes to make it in the industry. Hypocritical? Yes. How many of you are going to up and quit your job today just because you cannot carry at work? Why? Because that's what it takes to make it at your employer. How many of you are going to move out of state or out of country because of the lack of constitutional carry, the NFA, etc? No, I bet all of you will be pulling out your checkbook or typing in your routing and bank account numbers in order to pay the IRS. Why? Because that's what it takes to make it in this country. Lets accept the fact that there are plenty of actors/actresses that grew up wanting to be an actor/actress. They see it as a job. Many of them probably don't care about guns and never wanted to make a decision either way. There is much pressure in the industry to be anti-gun. That "sways' many of them. Granted, it'd be better to see more strong ones stand up and say that guns are not the problem. Also, how many of you regularly listen to AC/DC, The Beatles, Queen, Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Metalica, or go to Six Flags, Disney, Dollywood, Walmart, Amazon.com, Sportman's Warehouse, or Gander Mountain? Agree 100% with all of their views politically and ethically? All I'm saying is that if you are going to boycott artists or retailers for some of their views on guns or other important issues, it's going to be a very large list of places you cannot go and artists you can enjoy and a very, very small list of places you can go and artists to listen to while going there.
  5. That is where the danger lies.

  9. [quote name="JAB" post="1188498" timestamp="1410364023"]There are a couple of Pepper Palace locations around here, too - one in Gatlinburg and one in Knoxville (West Town Mall.) The one in Gatlinburg has been there for years and was the first hot sauce shop I ever visited as well as being the first place I got to try some of the 'extreme' sauces. Just FYI, there are some things like fresh, hot horseradish that have to be refrigerated and that they keep in a refrigerator behind the counter (at least they do at the one in Gatlinburg.) That hot horseradish is a different kind of 'burn' - gets you more in your sinuses (like good wasabi.) It is great on roast beef sandwiches. Also I wanted to let you guys know that many of the United Grocery Outlet locations in the area currently have some good hot sauce deals. There is a company called 'Dat'l Do It' (a play on the name of the Datil pepper, I think) that - although not necessarily a 'premium' brand - makes some pretty good hot sauces. I do a lot of shopping at UGO and visit various locations in the area to see what deals they might have and lately I have been seeing various varieties (different stores have different varieties) of hot sauces made by that company. The bottles probably hold about the same amount as a standard McIlhenney's Tobasco sauce bottle and they are 3 for $1.00. I have bought a crapload of them for my stockpile. I figure that they should be good on tacos and to add to some Frank's Red Hot in a buffalo sauce if nothing else. I also found at one UGO (the one in Madisonville) some Bufalo chipotle sauce. I love both the Bufalo red jalapeno sauce and their chipotle sauce as general purpose hot sauces. Again, not a 'premium' brand and not a 'brutal' but good stuff on tacos and the like with a nice, low burn. I am also currently working on the first batch of fermented hot sauce I have ever made. It will be a fermented style, like Tobasco sauce, but is made with a combination of ghost chiles and habaneros (plus a small handful of jalapenos and serranos from my garden.) I am not making a huge batch - I'm making it in a quart sized jar - but it will hopefully get my buddies and I through the months where fresh ghost chiles aren't available. I am hoping it will preserve more of just the straight chile flavor than some ghost sauces have. I haven't tried that barbecue sauce. Maybe they will have it to sample the next time I am in there. I usually make my own barbecue sauce and so I don't buy a lot of it but have bought this one (at Pepper Palace) in the past and liked it quite a bit: [url="http://www.hotsauceworld.com/pamomabasa.html"]http://www.hotsauceworld.com/pamomabasa.html[/url][/quote] Don't laugh too much but I just ran over to UGO and bought 6 bottles of the Dat'l Do-it 911 hot sauce. Pretty good for 3 for $1.00. Thanks! Alhough that was all I could find.
  10. [quote name="Sam1" post="1188297" timestamp="1410312547"]Don't be scared of the label, it's a bit overhyped lol[/quote] Just wanted to thank you for that. It isn't very hot but indeed has a flavor unlike any other hot sauce I've tried. Very good stuff. Thank you very much!
  11. My vote would also be a Glock 19/17/26 and as many 33 round magazines that you can afford. Cheap, reliable, countless accessories, can be carried, depended on, and with the 33 round happy magazines you can have just as much fun as you could with one of the "others" although with them you likely cannot fill the check box next to many of the advantage that a Glock has.   But if you want something else then that's a good enough reason for me.
  12. Assuming fair market value and easy obtain ability and ample stock, my wish list would be: Colt M4 HK MP5 9mm Glock 18 10/22 Auto for fun but honestly probably cheaper to reload and shoot one of the above 9mm's. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. The question is: If someone puts him down while out "protesting", will the Nashville AG do anything?
  14. USB won't work. You could buy a new tv?   But seriously, what are you meaning by "component"?   One of these should probably work.   Composite Cable   Component Cable   You could buy an HDMI switcher that you would hook your DVD and Charter boxes to, and then hook the switcher to your TV. That would be more expensive though. You mean you don't have any of the above cables I listed sitting around? I thought everyone had a box full of them somewhere!   What colors are on the back of your DVD/TV?   EDIT: maroonandwhite beat me to it:(
  15. [quote name="Sam1" post="1183936" timestamp="1409186701"]Glad you liked it, Just to convert a few more people.. I could probably afford to let 3 more bottles go. Next three people to post in here, just send me your shipping address in a pm - only for the next three though, can't give any more of the stockpile away for now. I'll be out of town this weekend but will ship it next Tuesday. And yes it is really good enough that I can say with certainty if you like spicy stuff, this will be at or near the top of your list for favorite hot sauces (unless you only like the 2 drop per bucket of chili burn your face off nuclear flavor stuff because this isn't close to that)[/quote] WooHoo! I am number one! Ricky Bobby would be so proud! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  16. [quote name="Garufa" post="1183900" timestamp="1409180934"]As to the "headline" I wonder who will be sued. The guy responsible already paid with his life so can't blame him. Certainly the business will be sued by the parents. Who's gonna charge the parents for incredible foolishness and irresponsibility in allowing a 9 year old to shoot a fully automatic weapon?[/quote] Well if someone on these forums let their kid shoot and accidentally kill an instructor with a gun they couldn't handle, I could see blaming them. But what if the parents know absolutely nothing about firearm safety ultimately and was unaware if the possible dangers with the Uzi? I mean after all movies portray automatic fire as something that never ends, never hits innocent bystanders, and is always on target and easily controllable. Since they were paying the instructor I am assuming I feel 99.99% of the blame falls in the deceased. Sucks for him but it was his fault.
  17. I may do that. I want to learn how to myself if I can. I'll try to get some 200 or so grit and give it a try. Even s30v? The ZT is a "recurve" blade.
  18. [quote name="Spots" post="1183032" timestamp="1408943268"]How sharp was the knife to begin with? You may just have to try varying your angles and pressure. It took me awhile to find the pressure (fairly light now) and angle I liked. Its a lot of feel thats hard to explain. Also if they weren't convex edges you'll need to start at a low grit to reprofile the edge[/quote] One of them was unknown grind and quite dull. I guess I just need the coarse stuff to reprofile. Generally how many times per edge would you say to reprofile with 200 grit? Hundreds? Thousands?
  19. So I tried this tonight after a trip to Walmart. I am almost disappointed. I've always sort of hated trying to get things sharp. I tried this homemade system on a ZT 0350 and a Victorinox Soldier. Did exactly as shown and really I just don't feel they got much sharper. I didn't buy 200 grit but maybe I should have started there. Any advice?

You type "Google.com" and your computer takes that "name" and looks it up on a DNS Server. Then your computer has an IP address which it can understand. Charter's DNS servers are down. You can use different ones though. A lot of people either use OpenDNS or Google's DNS.
