Holy thread resurrection batman. This one is 4 yrs old Sent from the backwoods

Compared to driving in San Diego, I hate most Tennessee drivers. I hated the grid lock in California but when traffic flowed everyone did 90+ mph on the interstates. Out here half the people are running 10 over, the other half are running 5 under. And way to many of them feel the need to ride the left lane or block you in because they feel the need to play speed patrol and slow you down for your own safety. I will say I've driven and ridden all over the country and there is nothing like running 90 in a turbo WRX on I-5 and it 9 lanes wide on each side, plus car pool lanes, and traffic almost bumper to bumper at those speeds. If you wanna crank the adrenaline even more do it on a beefed up bike made to lane split. Sent from the backwoods

Yep. I'm on a motorcycle without saddlebags 90% of the time. I keep a backpack stapped to the back, but if I go in somewhere that I will be for more than a few minutes I tend to take it with me so it doesn't wander off while I'm gone. I've almost quit going to the movies. I refuse to get bent over and pay $7 dollars for a drink and $5-8 for popcorn, on top of two $12 movie tickets. I'll just watch it at home thanks.

Can I ask a question? Why a push dagger? They give up a hell of a lot of reach and they normally aren't long enough to hit vitals with regularity. They are a thrusting only weapon with little to no slashing, chopping or snap cut ability. A fixed blade in the 5" blade length range is a far superior weapon. I actually prefer a 11" bowie but you want to be discreet. With the right sheath setup, you can comfortably carry a large knife IWB and it'll damn near disappear. Sent from the backwoods

That's so wrong on so many levels. Sent from the backwoods

I love my Glock 17 and have been shooting it alot. But the only way your making a Glock look good is putting the guts in a 1911 frame. I got a Glock because it's a tool. It's ugly and utilitarian and the perfect definition of function over form. And that's what I love about it. Can't say I'm a fan of the grey, I prefer the all black look. Sent from the backwoods

I solved this when we moved in. I use the main bathroom in the hallway. 90% of the time I leave the seat up. She uses the one in the master bathroom off our bedroom. Seat stays down. Same with the shower, sink etc. That way she doesn't get to bitch about beard hair on the sink, or anything else. Sent from the backwoods

Looks like a Thordsens Customs. Somebody else makes one but I can't remeber who at the moment. Fighting Sheep Dog , which is a vendor here, in Clinton carries those, and they are great on a pistol. http://www.thordsencustoms.com/shop/AR-PISTOL/p/ENHANCED-ARAK-PISTOL-CHEEK-REST-KIT-x3607311.htm Sent from the backwoods

Remaining Goverment Stock WWII 1911 To Be Sold To the Public
Spots replied to runco's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Fast and the furious with surplus 1911's? I would love.a surplus 1911, but what I really want to see if M14's. Convert them to semi auto only and watch them sell like crazy. Sent from the backwoods -
I have a question for everyone.
Spots replied to Dolomite_supafly's topic in Survival and Preparedness
Rifle and pistol ammo. We have a reloading setup but haven't got it up and going yet and I'm not well off on 5.56 or 9mm. Also need to get my AR finished asap. Sent from the backwoods -
Some of us try. The laws are still there, but we are pretty well left alone. We raise our own food, build our own homes, farm our own land, make our own tools etc. Legally we aren't anymore free than any of the other subjects, but it sure helps to be able to say we could live without the goverment or any outside help. Which brings up another point. I, and I'm sure others here, have family roots running into this land more than a century old. My family first built on the land we own in the early 1860's. My entire family has been born and raised there and most have died there. I'd rather die and be buried in the hills where I was raised than be the first generation of my family to turn tail and run.

His buddy is an idiot. Trade a Beretta 15 rd M9 for a 6 shot Rossi? There's not a chance in hell. I wouldn't trade a semi in for a revolver on a security job anyways, but I definitely wouldn't trade a Beretta for anything less than a Smith or Ruger. Sent from the backwoods

I'll fight and die here. But I loved my time in Okinawa. Gun laws are incredibly strict, but the people are clean and polite, the food is great, and the entire island is beautiful and warm. Sent from the backwoods

To answer your question, yes you can carry a loaded firearm in your vehicle. Sent from the backwoods

Yep pmags were $80, and went as high as $99. Surplus 5.56 went from $400 a case to $1000 overnight. They instantly pulled all their firearms, then added them back with some bullshit excuse. There was a lot of noise around the forums when it was all going down about how nobody would ever buy from them again. It was forgotten very quickly by most. I just dont like doing some business with those who don't support my hobbies and take huge advantage of a crisis. Sent from the backwoods

They aren't bankrupt yet? Darn. I wouldn't let cheaper than dirt ship me ammo for free. Caving to political correctness and pulling their guns from the site when the panic happened, then deciding PC be dammed and charging $80 for pmags? CTD can choke on it. Sent from the backwoods

That's what I was wondering? As in a special forces operator? What does that have to do with a cop snatching a weapon from the holster in an unsafe manner? Sent from the backwoods

Public Service Annoucement - Check Your Cell Numbers BEFORE Texting
Spots replied to CommsNBombs's topic in General Chat
Just don't mix up numbers and send a picture of your gun to the wrong person. Had a guy I was stationed at Miramar do that and accidently sent it to some Butter bars wife. That took some explaining lol. Sent from the backwoods -
If anyone is interested a local Veterans MC is hosting a poker run to benefit the Semper Fi fund. This a charity I try to support when I can, and if anybody wants to get out a ride this could be a good opportunity. Hopefully I'll see some TGO riders there. I'll be there on a black Vulcan, say hi if you see me. https://www.facebook.com/events/1439756943017204/ Sent from the backwoods

Heavy weapons? I didn't see any barricaded heavy machine guns or MK-19's. I bet the rioting would have calmed way down after one long rip from a MA Deuce or MK 19. Sent from the backwoods

Sure sounded like world war III for a bit though. I'm pretty sure the fence was broken by your mom, as long as she doesn't have an account here. Sent from the backwoods

Thanks for the vote of confidence lol. Not many blades will handle pure abuse. And leveraging on the tip is abuse. It's a big reason I stopped loaning out knives. That said, have you considered a small 3" bladed fixed blade in an unobtrusive belt sheath? They carry very comfortably, are small enough not to cause alarm and are usually stronger than a folder, and easier to access one handed. If he is the prying type I can always make you up one of these lol. Chisel grind tip, just don't slip lol. Sent from the backwoods
