Grand Torino

Very nice....good work. :up:

I was in the military for 26 years. Nearly every day was like that.

Welcome aboard. :up:

Everything is an accomplishment worth bragging about with some people....even those "participation" trophies.

Stories like yours are getting fewer and further in between. Congrats. :up:

Congrats and best wishes. :up:

Thanks for the pics. :up:

Saweeet :up: You must have like $1.98 in that system.

Welcome aboard. :up:

I don't understand why folks are having problems posting pictures here. Since I know virtually nothing about the interwebz and I have no problem it gets me wondering.

http://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2016/05/03/huffpo-shooting-attackers-self-defense-denies-criminals-fair-trial/ In a recent essay, a Huffington Post writer makes the incredible argument that while the Second Amendment guarantees U.S. citizens the right to carry and stockpile arms, it does not give the right to shoot violent attackers in self-defense because to do so would deny assailants a fair trial. Since everyone has the right to a fair trial, Curmi argues, it must therefore be illegal to curtail an attacker’s right by using lethal violence against him to defend oneself. He seems to assume that the crafters of the Second Amendment believed that citizens should be able to keep and bear arms without intending that the weapons ever be used, which stretches the imagination to the breaking point. He also seems to assume that the violent criminal’s right to a fair trial supersedes the victim’s right to life itself, since the logical alternative to self-defense is letting oneself be killed. There seems to be some confusion in Curmi’s mind regarding just why the Second Amendment was adopted in the first place. If not for self-defense, then why keep and bear arms? Read more.

Welcome back. :up:

They are full of crap.....as usual. For the life of me I don't know why they are given air time for their nonsense. I feel sorry for the people that actually pay attention to them.

Welcome aboard. :up:

Beautiful blade....scary edge. ;)

Thank you.

Nice pistola...congratulations. :up:

Very cool.....should be easy to carry for sure. :up:

While you are betting that common sense would prevail I'm not sure it would. If there was a healthy dose of common sense left in this country Obama would have never been elected to a second term....The Hildabeast would be in prison instead of running for president, illegals wouldn't have more rights than citizens and on and on and on.

Contrary to what most people think about us old folks I don't hate change....I just hate trying to figure it out. A lot of it comes from not understanding terms and nomenclature...and probably never will.

Good to hear you're doing so well so soon after surgery. Hopefully you'll be able to get some sleep before all the pain killers wear off.

Get well soon.  :up:

Welcome aboard. :up:

Welcome aboard. :up:

I'm 67 so tell me about getting older. I used to be able to put 4 out of 5 in a quarter sized spot at 15 yards. Now I'm happy to get them in the size of a fist. Still.....it's good enough. I think this helps with the shakes and keeps my range time enjoyable instead of frustrating. I also take my time at the range...I've got plenty of that at least. I practice double or triple taps...then lower my weapon and repeat until the mag is empty. Then I take a break sitting down while I change mags or doing whatever. At the end of my session I do a mag change or two.....just to keep in practice. As far as eyesight....well I can't read crapola or do anything close up without my bifocals so I get it. But over the past few years I shoot with both eyes open and focus on the front sight through to the target.....it seems to work for me. So...good glasses, take your time and if you're not doing something for hand strength already you might want to consider it. I work with my hands every day so at least they still seem to work okay. Good luck and don't get frustrated.
