I opened some Tupperware this weekend too...a G30s.....I only drink koolaid that has a high caliber kick.....okay so I mixed metaphores but that's what a Glock is!  :cheers:

WOW    no traffic!   :rofl:  :up:

Excellent points made gentlemen. It is good to see agreement and disagreement all while maintaining an adult dialog. Personal choices and personal actions deserve personal consequences.....that is the basis for our laws. I will admit to a personal, emotional response to flag burning and what it stands for to me. I am ready to accept the consequence of my actions, even the emotionally powered ones, if they defend what is good, just, right and holy. Most of those terms have become obsolete instead of aboslute in this day and age....a further reflection of the decline of this country. I am aware that the beliefs and opinions I hold/express are shared by others on this board, on others boards, in my place of work and house of worship. I am aware that more and more people across the city, state and nation I live in do not. Rights, responsibilities, consequences and actions used to be grounded by absolutes. The OPs post demonstrates the hazards of diversity between people of different values. It does bring up the question of tolerance.....when/how to stop something that is wrong? What benchmark do we use for determining what is wrong? Where do we as, individuals, a community, a nation drawa line in the sand and say NO more....I believe that all of us will soon have to answer that question for ourselves. God bless America. God save America.

Free speech has consequences.....your right to yell FIRE in a packed movie theater has the consequence of being arrested after you get trampled....burning the flag  (that my family members bled and died for) to make a point has painful and bloody consequences. A contradiction you say....rights carry responsibilities...you are responsible for your actions as you exercise your rights.

Unit tactics!!! Way to go Dolo... :up:  Maybe this boy will learn to think on his own too....keep up the good work!

I lost an uncle in Korea, one in 'Nam and almost lost my Dad there too. The flag is at half staff all weekend for those men and what we, as a family, lost.

I do and have....while living out west I found myself targeted by a pack of rather large coyotes. I was hiking thru the desert way outside of Salt Lake and Mr.Browning's eternal design propelled some rather recent reloads and rid the world of 3 yotes. Wheel weights, tin and Zip...that's the ticket. :up:

Anything made by our own Grand Torino....he has good quality knives in his ever growing stock....or you could look at Boker knives.

Individual heroism is American. I understand that Sheriff may have wanted to protect the individual cop from Islamic repercussions but by back tracking on who did what and when set the example for others to wait until SWAT gets there. When seconds count  SWAT is just minutes away.  Individual initiative needs to be rewarded, not divided up between departments. I understand teamwork but this cop did an excellent job.

I wouldn't want to get shot with a pretty Glock or a fugly Hi Point..... :cool:

SWAT was late to the party....give credit to the traffic cop for doing what needed to be done when it needed to be done. Sounds like the SWAT team is trying to justify their funding.

 An ammosexual...does that mean your primer has been pierced? I know of guys that regularly bulge their brass with their Glocks.....after limp wristing with their 1911 of course.

Does anyone else remember the Muslim Day event held on the Texas State Capitol steps awhile back? They exercised their free speech right and were met with 1 woman protesting that their god is not our God. She was exercising her right to speak freely and was escorted away. No bullets went flying. The issue is actions vs. words. I can say that my dog's crap is holy and doesn't stink but when I fling that sh*t in you face for you to smell....that crosses the line. Actions make the difference. The Muslims are pushing their beliefs by violent actions and it is not by a militant minority. Our God given, Constitionally protected rights are being eroded day by day. A time is soon approaching that we stand up and fight or kneel down and die. Actions make the difference. God save the USA.

Never rush a real estate deal and tread carefully when dealing with FedGov. You have an offer for your asking price from an investor, sounds like they want to flip it at a profit. That's how I bought my house for 1/3 of market value and nothing is wrong with it. The VA has time, money and bargaining power on their side. Quick and painless are not spoken by the govt or their agents....just my :2cents:

Red...I owe you a beer or beverage of your choice....that Lucky Gunner article is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you.

My Dad and I were discussing military calibers/weapons that he used in service. The conversation wandered around the 30.06 and 7.62x51...Garand versus M14....both .30 caliber yet one is a "full battle round" and the x51 is a "target round" (his words not mine). The only difference I can find between the two is case length and diameter.....so one holds more powder....but they use the same projectile...correct? I know better than to argue with the stubborn old Yankee.....since he carried both in service..... but is there any real difference between the two cartridges? Could I use the same 150gr FMJBT in both cases with different powder charges? I say yes...he says no....a steak dinner lies in the balance...help !  :D

They are uglier than sin....but I still want one....congrats on your new baby Rhino!

  Just returned from Academy.....lots of ammo at decent prices, spam cans of 54r, lots of .22 behind the counter... $3.50 for 50 rds CCI 40gr....limit 2 per person per day....reloading gear but no powder yet....good selection of handguns and long arms, not great prices but better than Mahoney's... for now...took my wife and we had a blast walking around and shopping. Just my excited :2cents:

Believe I can't how annoying that was.......

Congratulations ! Daughters are a joy...and a pain...and a challenge all rolled into one. Just ignore the feelings as you are wrapped around her finger by her smile... they are the best blessing (next to a good wife) that God gives to a man. Enjoy her and teach her well. :up:

Welcome to the club! :up:

Yes thank you! I can really use this guide as I'm starting to reload for 12ga..... :up:

The Bond franchise is just Dr.Who for adults...... :rofl:
