  1. Obama gets off Marine One Helicopter. Marine at the base of the ramp, after saluting, asks him why he's carrying a pig under each arm. Obama says they are not pigs, but genuine Arkansas razorbag hogs. He said "I got one for Michelle and one for Hillary." Marine snaps to attention, salutes again, and says "Excellent trade, sir!"
  2. That's what the clerk in OR told me. They can lose their jobs if they don't limit.
  3. Clinton Hiway has had a two box limit for some time. Oak Ridge has a sheet, they write down your DL number and what you bought. No buying in the morning and again in the evening. Clinton store had a five box limit last time I was there. I would rather be able to buy two boxes and come back a day later, than stand in line and watch the guy in front of me clean off the shelf.
  4. That's not close, it's there.
  5. I personally don't want one. I also have no firearm related bumper stickers,(well no bumper stickers of any kind), on my vehicles. Wear no firearm related clothing excepet maybe a cap, when I'm at some type of shooting event. I see no need to draw unwanted attention to myself when I am carrying.
  6. What Happened to the Ban on Assault Weapons? By JIMMY CARTER Atlanta THE evolution in public policy concerning the manufacture, sale and possession of semiautomatic assault weapons like AK-47s, AR-15s and Uzis has been very disturbing. Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and I all supported a ban on these formidable firearms, and one was finally passed in 1994. When the 10-year ban was set to expire, many police organizations — including 1,100 police chiefs and sheriffs from around the nation — called on Congress and President George W. Bush to renew and strengthen it. But with a wink from the White House, the gun lobby prevailed and the ban expired. I have used weapons since I was big enough to carry one, and now own two handguns, four shotguns and three rifles, two with scopes. I use them carefully, for hunting game from our family woods and fields, and occasionally for hunting with my family and friends in other places. We cherish the right to own a gun and some of my hunting companions like to collect rare weapons. One of them is a superb craftsman who makes muzzle-loading rifles, one of which I displayed for four years in my private White House office. But none of us wants to own an assault weapon, because we have no desire to kill policemen or go to a school or workplace to see how many victims we can accumulate before we are finally shot or take our own lives. That’s why the White House and Congress must not give up on trying to reinstate a ban on assault weapons, even if it may be politically difficult. An overwhelming majority of Americans, including me and my hunting companions, believe in the right to own weapons, but surveys show that they also support modest restraints like background checks, mandatory registration and brief waiting periods before purchase. A majority of Americans also support banning assault weapons. Many of us who hunt are dismayed by some of the more extreme policies of the National Rifle Association, the most prominent voice in opposition to a ban, and by the timidity of public officials who yield to the group’s unreasonable demands. Heavily influenced and supported by the firearms industry, N.R.A. leaders have misled many gullible people into believing that our weapons are going to be taken away from us, and that homeowners will be deprived of the right to protect ourselves and our families. The N.R.A. would be justified in its efforts if there was a real threat to our constitutional right to bear arms. But that is not the case. Instead, the N.R.A. is defending criminals’ access to assault weapons and use of ammunition that can penetrate protective clothing worn by police officers on duty. In addition, while the N.R.A. seems to have reluctantly accepted current law restricting sales by licensed gun dealers to convicted felons, it claims that only “law-abiding people†obey such restrictions — and it opposes applying them to private gun dealers or those who sell all kinds of weapons from the back of a van or pickup truck at gun shows. What are the results of this profligate ownership and use of guns designed to kill people? In 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported more than 30,000 people died from firearms, accounting for nearly 20 percent of all injury deaths. In 2005, every nine hours a child or teenager in the United States was killed in a firearm-related accident or suicide. Across our border, Mexican drug cartels are being armed with advanced weaponry imported from the United States — a reality only the N.R.A. seems to dispute. The gun lobby and the firearms industry should reassess their policies concerning safety and accountability — at least on assault weapons — and ease their pressure on acquiescent politicians who fear N.R.A. disapproval at election time. We can’t let the N.R.A.’s political blackmail prevent the banning of assault weapons — designed only to kill police officers and the people they defend. Jimmy Carter, the 39th president, is the winner of the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize.
  7. Yeah, the phrase "you Mary", would've been uttered at some point.
  8. Through the fingers, into the chest.
  9. I got one, had my full name on it which I never use. Except for my DL and HCP.
  10. 7 yds.
  11. Had to, to get to the sternum.
  12. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/handguns/20524-range-report.html
  13. I've got another magazine on order. Hope to use it at the IDPA shoot this weekend.
  14. But not on purpose. Owners manual said 6 oclock sight alignment. That was a little low for me with this weapon.
  15. on Baby Eagle Three below the waist were to check up/down sight alignment(1st three shots) . Gun seems to be a little more accurate than my XD, also a little better feel.
  16. You can own a sawed off shotgun with the proper paperwork. Some owners have ARs for the same reason another person may have a 150mph car or 180+ mph motorcycle. To show to friends, or just to look at every once in a while, such as a C&R weapon.
  17. Next meet n shoot I make it to, you can. May 16th though, I'll be out of state. Out of time zone too.
  18. Clinton Hwy WMart has several cases. Two boxes per cal. per day. Up the hwy in Clinton, there is a five box limit.
  19. I ordered from GA Thur. they were out of the larger round, but had a smaller bullet. I don't think the targets will mind. And at WMart prices with shipping, I don't mind.
  20. Bet some of those guys are going to re-sell it at their own shop with a huge mark-up. Heard rumor of Goose Hill cleaning out Turkey Creek WM. $8.97 at WM, $23 after markup.
  21. No I didn't, dug up some ammo for it. Clinton Wal-Mart has a limit of 5 boxes per caliber. I've got enough ammo to do a while for it.
