I think the popcorn means he's interested enough to sit back, read and enjoy. :)

The place is a craphole. The only redeeming value I saw was one of the employees was really cool and let me have a free rental on a Sig since they were slow that day. Other than that its a no go. Well worth the money to instead go to Nashville Armory or Guns and Leather.

Also may be worth mention that this is not really a middle school musical.

+1. Non issue IMO. (The play, not meth) I would be concerned with my kids (who don't exist btw) going through the D.A.R.E program than acting in a play.

Woah! The first two look freaking fantastic! Very uniform, proffetional looking pieces. Just awesome! The last one however looks terrible. You should send it to me right away to ensure that it does not tarnish your reputation. :) All kidding aside, that last one has a very cool unique look that I am seriously loving. Great utility design that has probably the perfect shape for many tasks that a regular blade would fall short on. Plus the handle looks really comfy. Great work bro, those should fly off the table at any gun show.

Well there's also the additional problem that even if the gov were to come out and factually and truthfully put these issues to bed, who would believe them?

Thoughts? This is a crap load of crap from crap town. I'm pretty tired of all the conspiracy crap already. It's crap like this that distracts people from the real issues this country is facing. Sorry Mike, not trying to be an a$$ and I know that your merely asking opinions. My opinion is this is crap.

Yeah, this is going nowhere fast. Just another case of "well we tried."

Did you plug it in, or did it run on batteries?

And it could be real for I/we know. I just think its funny that an irrelevant rapper drops an album and suddenly his crew gets in trouble for a bunch of relatively petty stuff, oh and of course they happen to film it and release it to the social medias. I also maintain that a real punch to the back of the noggin (while it wouldn't be my move to use my fist on someone's hard head, not with all that tantalizing neck there) should have rocked him a bit more than that unless the punch was pulled. Of course I am not an expert, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. Fun to watch either way.

And that's fine, if what we've seen is any indication of how they do things they'd need 4 of them to every competent man. Shoot, I say man when I've met and trained with women who could make these chuckle heads scurry away like the cur they are. Still think this was staged/fake though. If SoujaBoy wasn't in the process of releasing an album I might look at it differently. With the info I have though, I'm having a hard time thinking this anything more than a publicity stunt.

:rofl: this thread is finally starting to deliver! :rofl:

TGO is pretty fantastic, I found out about it by accident when I was visiting from Ca shortly before I moved here. Found it looking up local ranges and got drawn into the conversation quickly which is rare for me anymore, haven't joined and participated in a forum in the better part of a decade before TGO. It think that the results are from a combination of many factors, mostly the fact that David treats this forum like his living room. Come on in, rest your crack, make yourself at home. Don't be fooled though by our warm host, while his rules are pretty lax and easy to follow if you step out of line you will be asked to leave(aka ban hammer). The moderating staff is IMO second to none that I'm aware of. Quick to help, decisive in action and other than that they pretty much leave people to do what they will, even joining in on the shenanigans. Lastly, the people. The people who make up this forum are by and large a special group of folks. It's not often that one can disagree bitterly with someone on subjects like religion or politics and leave the disagreement to the thread it belongs in. In all to many places you would encounter folks carrying a grudge against others based on personal feeling that may have little to nothing to do with any given topic of discussion. I have had the pleasure and privilidge of meeting several of you all face to face and can say it has always been a great experience. One in particular I will likely always carry with me was meeting brother FIST. Allow me to set the tone. It was the beginning of the 2013 EBR panic. Anything AR related was selling and quickly at redonkulous pricing. I had just finished my 1st AR build and casually mentioned in a thread that I was bummed not to have stocked up on mags before everything got crazy. About two hours after that post I had three messages in my inbox from members who had a surplus of mags wanting me to know if I needed them at a fair(read pre-panic) price then they were mine. I took FIST up on the offer, we set a day and off I went, mom in tow to meet up. We met up at a little gunshop/range and the deal went down without a hitch, FIST even gave me some rounds so I'd be able to at least fill a mag or two up. Well we were standing there chatting and all of a sudden FIST gets this look on his face like "WTF?" So I turn around to see what's up. My mom and FIST's daughter got bored with our gun talk and had instead got comfortable with his daughter sitting in his truck and mom leaning half way in reading her one of her story books. FIST had a rather quizzical look on his face until I explained that mom is a K-1st teacher and was quite simply in her element, doing what she loves. We had a but of a laugh, talked for close to an hour after that (we had already been talking about that long) and went on our ways. It may seem like nothing special but I'll never forget three things. 1. FIST's generosity for helping essentially a complete stranger and volunteering to do so at that. 2. Seeing mom in her natural element so completely. She is truly a nurturer and loves children. I've seen her in classes before, hell she ran a daycare out of the house when I was growing up, seeing her work with kids is/was nothing new but this was just so raw and spontaneous. Awesome. 3. Once we knew what was yapping in the truck FIST visibly relaxed and carried on the conversation as usual. To me that meant a lot as I see that as a sign of faith and goodwill. He didn't hardly bat an eye at a 60 year old lady holding an impromptu reading lesson in his truck. Just looked curious as to what was happening is all. Anyway, thank you to everyone in the TGO family, you all are great, even when think you are wrong. You all are basically my surrogate social life in TN, I've made a few friends at work and out and about but have never felt alone since I moved here and that is largely thanks to you.

Having never been married I can't speak on that front. When it comes to girlfriends its quite simple "I don't know or really care what they spend their money on, it's none of their concern how I spend mine." Now things change a bit when you start getting serious or move in together. By that time though if you were honest in the beginning she should know already what she's getting into. Still NOHB as long as your share of expenses are met, you don't need to borrow money for car repairs and you keep enough loot handy to take her out for a spontaneous night of fun.

You must be limp wristing it...

Fine fine, If you want to get technical. :rolleyes:

Hey it's Detroit, we've already covered the RedWings, talked about the North American Auto show, there's just not much more happening there.

More for the rifle.

Ah, gotcha. For me the issue was entirely pin related. I put a paper clip in to hold the plate and when it bent had to hold the plate in by hand to get it out. Well you know how strong the spring is and how small the plate is. I got the clip out and wham off comes the plate, right out of my hands. Luckily my apartment was pretty bare so even though I managed to lose the plate and the screw, it didn't take too long to find them.

Couple of oddballs here. First my CCCP market Nagant revolver. A lot of info out there about these, mine looks to have been never fired or at least very little. Neat design, the cylinder moves forward to make a seal with the forcing cone. Cool price of Soviet tech. Next is my Star model B 9mm. Another beat old gun, these were originally designed off of the 9mmLargo. Unfortunately when they switch over to the 9mmLuger all they really changed was the barrel/chamber. It's accurate but has feeding issues that make it less than desirae as a defence tool and even frustrating as a range toy. Doesn't get shot much. Last is a Zipp Gun. Still not sure why I bought this exactly, its cool but I have much better 22. pistols. Fired once to test function and accuracy, it functions, its accurate, it's currently a safe queen. Maybe a collectors item one day?

Been there done that got the shirt. The launching spring I mean, not space. One thing I've found is that it really does help to use the brass pin that Ruger gives you. It slides out a lot easier since it doesn't kink up like a paper clip. If you've lost or never got the brass pin use a hardened nail of similar size.

Big proponent of the eargasm here as well. Q-tips, paper clips, just about anything that will scratch the itch and remove the IMO rediculous amount of build up I get. My favorite is to blast out the canal with a jet of warm water in the shower in the morning. Don't aim it directly down there but aim it at the wall of your ear just past the opening.

Well if we're going to obey all the rules... My answer remains unchanged. Just because I'm not carrying all the different rounds I'd be able to fire doesn't mean it's not great to have the option. In my case my multi cal weapons aren't exactly fancy. The Blackhawk is a simple SA revolver that happens to be way overbuilt for longevity and reliability. The only thing that lets them shoot 9mm is an extra cylinder. But lets say I forgot that extra cylinder, fine still have a handgun accurate and powerful enough to take anything from little critters (snake shot- light 38.) all the way up to deer (357 loads). Same with the AR, nothing too fancy just a separate magazine and bolt. But lets say for the sake of arguing that I have it configured to 22. when the SHTF and while I have time to grab the rifle plus the ammo, I don't have enough time or forget the real bolt, mags and ammo for 223. I'd still want the AR due to it being such a common platform. Parts will likely be around in one way or another, it's pretty darn accurate, and just to throw this out there, I'm only to parts and some ammo away from a dual caliber platform. Just because I'm starting out with it one way doesn't make me pigeon holed into keeping it that way, or are we not allowed to scavenge either? :rolleyes:

Replace the WD40 with balistol and the compressor blowing with air drying and that's about right for me.

Assuming ammo is already plentiful before SHTF I would go with my ar15 with 22 conversion kit to cover my bases for 223/556 and keep my Blachawk 9mm/38/357 for my pistol. Why? Easy, two guns, five extremely popular and effective calibers. I win.
