I too use 800x.

Prayers to the victims and their families. Obammy just said that "we know that states with the most gun laws have the fewest gun crimes" really I thought Chicago had some mighty tough laws. I swear nothing that comes out of the potus's mouth is the truth. I have wondered when the next shooting spree would happen so that stricter gun laws can be enacted or better yet why don't we just ban the private ownership of guns and ammo and be done with it. Then at last it will be like Nazi Germany, and the rest of the world that couldn't or can't own guns. Maybe that would make the U.N. happy. I will never quit being amazed by the idiots on the left that really believe that banning guns would solve all the shooting crimes. All one has to do is look at the U.K or Australia and see how that has worked. Like all the refugees on TV, if they had not given their governments all the power and kept some AK's they wouldn't be in quite the sad shape they are in. But we will soon have our "fair share" of them over here.  

Thanks for all the info, we decided to not swap after all this conversation. It is something to think about as I wouldn't want a gun that I had bought and traded be used to commit a crime. Mac

Thanks guys, I didn't find him on TGO, he has an engine for trade for my truck that I need badly. We have texted and I will call him tomorrow before I go look at the engine. I wouldn't have asked if the was a TGO'er.

Hey guys I may be doing a gun swap with a guy I don't know. How can I make sure he is ok to own a gun? He may not have a HCP as a lot of folks don't. Is getting a pic of his drivers license sufficient to cover me or not?  The gun is a nib ruger 10-22. Thanks up front for your help. Mac

When they show up just tell the "NO HABLO" in an believable accent tell them you are illegal and prefer not to be counted, but to keep sending the goobermint checks. Thank you Senor!!

Been praying for Her for quite awhile. It really boils down to the fact that America as a whole has turned her back on God. Just remember how the Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years and they could have easily walked it in 3 weeks or less, and may I remind you they are God's chosen people. So how long do you think he will allow us to wander around, especially since we as a nation have allowed the murder of around 57.5 million babies?? I have often wondered how many doctors and other vital people have been murdered via abortion.

If a cop would ride to and from work with me for 1 day he/she would have writers cramp from writing tickets. I need to pitch that to the THP and see if I can get a full time state job just riding troopers around in my unmarked yukon!!!!

And I would have sued her for every penny she could get her hands on too!! If someone hits me the first thing I will do is have the law get a printout of the persons cell phone usage and let the ambulance chasers loose!!

Yes I paid attention to the signature!!  That was much more entertaining. Oh sorry for the sidetrack. I trust that the liberal left would never ever want to take our guns

Well I have read both versions, I believe the AR never left the trunk though. I have done multiple searches and I don't know whom to believe. Anyone want to wade into this debate??

Your dad sounds like our kind of people for sure. Love the loading station. I am sure ya'll have seen these ultra modern, aluminum, stainless, inlaid woods and such that are as pristine as an operating room. Well if it doesn't have just a little clutter and some stains where some powder, oil, Hoppes # 9 and such have been spilled, I look at it and yawn!!! I would keep it in good running order and pass it along to your son, grandson, nephew or some kid that may appreciate it.

While watching O'Reilly on Fox a bit ago, the streaming news line at bottom was saying that Wally world would quit selling AR-15's and mentioned that an AR was used to kill the kids and adults in Newtown, Ct. in 2012. As I recall Adam Lanza used a pistol and the AR never left the car. I just wish the media would give us the danged truth, that is if they even know what the meaning of truth is.

That's right, no "how are youse guys doing". Either Ya'll or youin's of which I much prefer Ya'll!!.

I always eat the stuff before it gets too old!!

Depends on what he shoots or wants to load. Because it is a "big" gift I would tell him I was thinking of spending X amount and if he wanted a different press he could kick in the difference. Say he wanted a Dillon 650 or whatever and you were going to spend $150 he would be $150 closer to his press, as we all have different ideas. My first press was a rockchucker and I still load on it, however I have a Dillon SDB and can do about 300 rounds of pistol ammo per hour. Just my $0.02.

In typical redneck fashion I love it!! Hey it beats the he77 out of walking

And to add to the list of toys, what about cars that didn't have seat belts, steel dashes with no padding, lying on the package tray in the back window on road trips. We could stay gone all day riding bikes, fishing or what ever as long as we were home by dark. I guess back then there weren't a bunch of child molesters or perverts like we have now. Go to the store at 9 and buy 22 ammo or cigarettes (for our parents) of course and nobody questioned it.  We had it made as far as having the freedom to go and do without all the restrictions that kids have now due to all the perverts out there. We had it made and didn't realize how lucky we were, dang it I sure wish my grand-kids could enjoy more of those freedoms!!! Guys we owe our grand-kids these freedoms again, how can we accomplish it? Thanks for all the memories brought back in living color from the black and white days!!!

I love people who really think that the sheep skin on the wall really makes one either smart or dumb it one doesn't have it. I have the school of hard knocks and learned it the way it sticks by having your hands on it. You can read books or Ebooks all you want, but until you wrap your hands around a wrench or hammer or scapel or whatever, you are not going to be very good at it. I don't look down on people because they have degrees hanging on their walls, but I don't think this automatically makes them smart either.

I deer hunt with handguns, something I will share is to use a rest if at all possible. A handgun is 6 times harder to shoot accurately than a rifle. I use a polecat monopod that has adjustable height for a sitting to standing position. Practice a lot and shoot at a distance that you are very sure you can put the animal out in a humane way. I will take a 300 yd shot with my rifle, but only 150 on a handgun shot and then depends on all other factors. Handgun hunting is very addictive, I shot a nice 6 point as my first handgun buck and he is hanging out behind me on the wall. I want to do some predator hunting too, there is a guy on the outdoor channel that handgun hunts for foxes with a .22 magnum revolver, I would like a .223 for predators. Have fun!!

And what happens if by chance these items are hard or impossible to find? I don't think I would leave it to someone else abandoning houses for the items I need. Just my $0.02. It would be pretty easy to make a house seem abandoned, but being watched with a scoped rifle at a great distance and picking off those who happened to be pilfering around.

I was on hwy 111 from Cookeville to Livingston this afternoon and noticed at the Overton county line a flag at half staff, the one at the bank was half staff and the post office was at the top. Sure makes you feel real proud that at least the local people know what to do with the flag at times like these. If anyone can confirm that the owner of the strip mall is going to put up a memorial, it would be great if the TGOers could start a donation fund to help with the cost. Just a thought.

  Please help me understand this. If they are Marines then they did go thru basic training and shoot both rifles and pistols correct?? I would have to argue about the no clue phrase. If they need additional training to carry then train them.

First of all prayers sent to the wounded and the fallen hero's families. Next for all the people questioning the Muslim faith. It is real simple, if a person is a "good Muslim" and lives by the Koran, he/she wants all the infidels which would be everyone not Muslim DEAD!!  This talk about radical Muslim or Islam has really no weight, he is either a good one or not!! I believe that all people have the right to protect themselves from being slaughtered like this. I would hope that the guys in the reserve centers would start packing some heat!!

Sorry NO amazon at this house any longer, they pulled the flag and I will no longer be using them. I have not had the chance to write them a nice letter and tell them to pull up how much I have bought in the last 5 years, but I will pay double to buy it some place else. They can take all their stuff and put it where the sun don't shine!!!
