Those are beautiful!

He has a GED and a little college credit. He isn't too picky. Is there a recruiter or someone you would suggest he talk too. On paper he maybe not the best, but he is a (as Blubbering Biden would say) a clean cut articulate black man. Works hard and is great shape. Street smart kinda guy.

NEVER plead to something if you are innocent. I have seen it backfire too many times with folks thinking it will make life easier. It usually does not. Unless you're guilty.

I'm embarrassed to say I like that show and the fact it runs for several hours on several different channels doesn't help. i like tvland.com for "3rd Rock from The Sun" for the same reason. Simple good humor.

I won't believe it till I hear it from a Glock rep at a gun store.

I know we have some here, but I can't remember who you are ATM. I got a good friend who is looking to enlist and needs some info. He has a GED with AFROTC. Any suggestions?

Pretty funny.

I'd be willing to bet an AK is more accurate than you can shoot. Ammo is the main issue with AK accuracy. I again say get the Centerfire AK74 or the Hi-Point are the ways to go for pure fun.

None that I have been too. That includes Rivergate, Antioch Pike, and the Franklin Rd store.

Character matters. Especially in a job where it separates public servant from criminal. You really don't think a guy who cheats, steals, and lies to his own wife and family would be completely honest and forthright in his dealings with people he cares nothing about? You do realize infidelity is one of the leading causes for murder. Especially when it involves LE.

I really liked the CRKT M16 I had, but it got lost in a motorcycle wreck. Now the best would be the new Gerber Covert FAST I recently bought. The other I have would be the custom knife built by Vic Wison. Thing is beautiful.

I don't think you are remembering all the details of getting that VW plant or the Nissan plants. Huge payouts and complete loss of tax revenue that doesn't stay in TN. He sold his sole to have a political bragging right. It's the equivalent of buying a 35k Hummer to delver meals on wheels. Glad we got the jobs, but financially it did not make TN better. There were better ways of going about that.

Unions were temporary market corrections that have lost most of their use. However, like many of the Democrats operatives, they have been copoted to be used as political strong men for the party and serve little to no purpose for those they purport to serve, ala Civil Rights, Education, etc. Most unions could go away and the market and workers would be much better off. Just ask the auto industry or the obvious to us all the education system.

They were both pretty good. The first guy is probably the fat kid in the army gear splashed around the interweb and the second guy was just funny.

dave, i agree with disgust for BoA, but to excuse what the union thuggery was doing as justified is exactly the same rationale Che used to murder countless people. After all they were part of the corrupt opprressive capitalist pig. After all, had they had to drag his kid out of their house and beat him to get the bankers attention it was the banker who created their pain. Right?

With all the endless studies an empirical data available, I'm amazed there are some that haven't moved past WWI FMJ theory. 87-91% effectiveness for 9mm-.45 in HP. Style has relatively small impact on results. The only caveats are 44 Mag/10mm etc. that have a few percentage points better results. There are however distinctive drops below 9mm where bullet style, barrel length etc become more important.

Cornhole, eh!? Me thinks I'd come up with a different name. You may have some unexpected guest with strange unexpected request.

Dave, you have officially lost it. Your hate has finally finished you. You pass judgment on the banker based on conjecture and hyperbole and then claim fairness. You must be a Democrat.

Just a thought. Be patient whatever you do. Move slow. After the Great Depression those who had left their stocks alone fully recovered after 3 years and made tremendous profits by 7 years. A lot of the so called "old money" was made in the GD stock market. I would try to get it in some kind of Roth or self directed IRA almost no matter if there is a penalty. Put it in funds that have no loads and long records, then leave it alone. Emotional and fear based decisions only make fund managers and brokers money.

Yep, he's happy to be in American prison. Says something about the "justice" system right there. He should have been hung on the yard arm. Of course he's not to blame. He's just an innocent child trying to make a better life for his family. If that argument works I'm robbing a bank tomorrow ..... to support my struggling family.

CDNN has the S&W M&P AR's that come with 15 mags for about the same price. S&W is also running rebates ($150? IIRC). I think it's the best deal going ATM.

You know, It no longer is a question. The answer is YES!

I should add there are various machete designs and some are more versatile than others. I like the Kurki belly because it works like a hatchet as opposed to straight blade machetes.

I carry a full size M&P9. I like having 18 rounds + reloads if necessary. In the past I have carried a PF9 and would like to get the Taurus Slim in 9mm for an alternate carry gun. I've found that the vast majority of the time I can carry a full size with proper clothing. I think it ultimately comes down to personal preference. Some love revolvers, some back pocket sub compacts, other steel 1911's. Just find what works for you.

Well I went with the Cold Steel Kurki machete and I'm glad I did. It can chop almost with a camping hatchet, but also can be used for many other applications the saw and hatchet can't do. Not to mention it is much easier to use on smaller material such as shelter coverings and clearing. The Hatchet and saw can not come close in those areas. Way I see it, the machete = multi-tool, hatchet/saw=single purpose.
