  1. For Bloomberg, Gun Control Fight Shifts to State Capitals http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/02/nyregion/bloombergs-push-for-tighter-gun-laws-shifts-to-other-states.html?pagewanted=1&_r=4&hp
  2. I'd like one in 10mm and 357sig next! :lol:
  3. First bike was a new 1989 Yamaha DT I got when I was like 11 or 12. Next was a new 1996 Honda CBR 600F3 when I was 19. Last bike was a used 2000 Honda CR 500R that I modded a bit. High comp head, Vforce reed valve, PWK 41mm Pro, Wiseco prolite, Pro Circuit Platinum pipe, FMF Power Core 2, running on VP C12, etc. That's the one I regret selling. Should have kept it. I hope to replace it with a Service Honda CR 500AF in the future.
  4. N/M, the spent casing envelope says 04/18/13 on mine, so I suppose it's close to that date.
  5. Where do you even find the mfg date on a glock?
  6. Those Sherriff's are some fine men. They deserve some recognition beyond this article for handling this situation so well! :up:
  7. It's only a matter of time before the left wing migrates their BS to every state. Look at the education system and what they're teaching kids, what the media and Hollywood push, etc., and you'll see the youth that will be going in to government, etc., will move us continually left.
  8. Now this is crazy! http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/41/4110.asp New Jersey: Court Upholds Man Arrested For Visible Gun Case In Car New Jersey appellate court upholds five-year sentence for ex-cop who was driving with his legally owned guns. Readington TownshipMotorists driving through New Jersey can be subjected to a warrantless search if their luggage is similar in appearance to a gun case, an appellate court ruled last week. The Superior Court's Appellate Division upheld a five year prison sentence against Dustin S. Reininger, a former police officer who was in the process of moving from Maine to Texas when a Readington Township police officer recognized the cases in the back of Reininger's vehicle as the sort that usually carries a rifle. During the long trip on March 20, 2009, Reininger became tired and decided to pull off the road in an empty, well-lit parking lot. He stopped his green Toyota SUV, turned off his lights, and went to sleep in the driver's seat under a blanket. At 3:25am, Officer Gregory Wester knocked on his window and woke him up, shining a flashlight in his eyes. Officer Wester testified that Reininger appeared "nervous and tired." The policeman asked Reininger whether he was carrying anything illegal. "No, no, all good," Reininger replied. Reininger believes he was targeted because of his Texas license plates. Officer Wester then looked inside the SUV with his flashlight noticed two nylon cases in the back seat. Once backup arrived, Officer Wester asked for consent to search the vehicle, but Reininger said no. Officer Wester then opened up the vehicle to search the cases "for safety reasons" any way. Reininger was arrested. After obtaining a warrant, police recovered fourteen rifles, four shotguns and three handguns, including a loaded Glock. A grand juror had asked the prosecutor whether this man would have been charged if he had used a different case. "Basically, if someone is moving... from Residence A to Residence B, or transporting, say, for example, they just purchased it, so they can transport it to their home, if they are properly secured, locked in a trunk, locked in a special lockbox and unloaded, then that would most likely provide an exception to these requirements, and therefore a defense to being charged," prosecutor Bennett Barlyn explained. Reininger's SUV did not have a trunk, and state law only requires the firearm be in a "closed and fastened case" or "securely tied package" while transported. His attorney argued the zippered cases satisfied this requirement. A jury acquitted him of the charges for possession of the "assault firearms" and handgun possession but convicted him in absentia of illegal possession of hollow-point bullets, shotguns, rifles and a high-capacity magazine. He was apprehended in Texas and extradited to New Jersey. "What I don't understand is I am a citizen without a criminal history who has served this country not only in the military but as a volunteer to my community and as a police officer, not even making hardly any income at all, and I would have given my life to protect another person and for this country," Reininger said in a statement. "How can I be convicted for exercising my right? When does it become a crime for exercising one's right?" The three-judge appellate panel insisted New Jersey's gun control laws do not violate the constitutional right to keep and bear arms, citing the Supreme Court's recent Heller decision. "The Second Amendment does not create 'a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever purpose,'" Judge Ronald B. Graves wrote for the panel. "Furthermore, the Second Amendment does not preclude the state from regulating the manner in which accessories must be transported." The court also upheld the warrantless search of Reininger's vehicle. "Based on the outward appearance of the nylon cases, Wester reasonably believed they contained rifles or shotguns that were easily accessible to defendant," Judge Graves wrote. "In our view, however, the warrantless seizure was not necessary for the officers' safety, because defendant had been removed from the vehicle and there were multiple backup officers at the scene. Nevertheless, we conclude the limited seizure was valid under the plain view exception to the search warrant requirement."
  9. Thanks, all! It's my first Glock! I can't wait to shoot this thing!
  10. It was.... I didn't need the 22's since I bought a cheap crappy 22 I hate. I need to go to my dads and get the old Ruger 10-22 back I got for passing to the 5th grade. lol I had too much fun shooting that thing. I used to shoot at least a brick or two on a weekend. I had the factory 10rd, a 30rd and a 50rd mag. I'd load and shoot until I my thumbs got too sore to load anymore. As for what kind of customers would buy a $2k rifle at Walmart..... That'd be me. If I didn't already have a Sig 716, I'd bought it on the spot. :)
  11. I just dropped the coin on a new Glock 21 Gen 4, so I couldn't afford to splurge anymore. My wife would have killed me if I did. :lol:
  12. This is the first time I seem this at Walmart.... Also the first time I ever seen a Sig 716 AR at Walmart. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Just picked it up today! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. I went by Walmart this afternoon and it was wiped out of all popular cals of ammo. I agree folks need to stop buying ammo now and let the stock in stores come back to normal levels so prices will fall back to normal. If everyone keeps buying ammo every time they see a box on the shelf wiping out stock, we will continue to have inflated prices and scarcity. :2cents: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Cool, I'll pass it on to folks I know! Dave S Thanks, Dave! :up: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. That was going east toward Knoxville because that last was taken on the bridge where I40 exits to Gallatin and central pike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. That's what I thought. It looked a lot worse in person. Cell camera just doesn't capture it like it looks on person. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I posted it for sale (in the wrong forum and don't know how I managed to do that lol, but sent pm to have it moved) just a second ago. :up: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/65878-nib-tc-hawken-50cal-muzzleloader-range-box/

  20. The price was $389 back when it was bought locally, so after tax it was probably around $400. The powder cans are full and unused as is a bunch of the stuff in the box. That said, I've decided I'd rather sale it to fund another firearm. First person willing to meet locally (Nashville, Murfreesboro, Old hickory) with $400 cash gets the TC and Range Box with all the goodies you see. :up: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. The box... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I'm on the fence on if I want to keep it as a collectable and not shoot it, say screw it and shoot it because they're fun and I like the stinky smell if BP, or sale it to fund another gun I'm not worried about devaluing if I shoot it. :shrug:   I got a "range box" he called it with a ton of extras as well.   Any suggestions? lol
  23.   I think onlylongrange.com was actually the first to deliver a 300 win mag AR, too. But I see Nemo Omen claiming to be the first 300 win mag AR.   Correct me if I'm wrong here.
  24. I got some from 840 today on the cell. Will post later...
  25. I want to see some light duty diesels in trucks that get at least 30mpg average. Maybe a small I6 or V6?
