I can understand your concerns Hozzie and that is why I am going to get in touch with my Vet and talk with her and have her check into the actual condition the dog is truly experiencing. She told me to contact her if I found a dog I was interested in adopting and she would do the research on the dog before making a recomendation whether it would be a dog I could handle. She knows my situation as far as income and expenses. I don't think she would allow me to adopt a dog that would be a money pit. I have left a msessage for her to call me back. The lady that answered the phone said they have done some work with this Dog Rescue service in the past so I guess it will be up to what Dr Ashley says more than anything but I do respect your views very much also. Thanks Bersa

I know it has only been about a month since I lost my Kasey and it has been really hard coming home and not have a wagging tail meeting me at the door. I have been leaning towards getting another dog pretty hard. I was looking back over my life and except for the time I was out of country since age 6 I have had at least one dog in my life and sometimes a couple. Coming home to my home now is like it's not my house. I have been looking at some of the dog rescue locations near my home and each time I got look to see if any new ones have been added to their website and for some reason I keep getting drawn back to one dog that has a history. She is 7 years old and had a pretty tough life. I have done several searches over the weekend and I keep going back to her. I keep telling myself that yea she does have issues but if I could give her a good home for her later years I should do it. I know how much folks here love dogs so what say ye all. Do I look into possibly adopting Phoebe. I will check with my Vet prior to checking into her because the facility that has her is close by and my Vet can find out what I need to know about her and she will tell me if she is the dog for me. This is her history! Phoebe is a 7 year old Border collie mix. She lived most of her life in a 10x10 pen with her mother. The family decided to let Phoebe come into the rescue. As you can imagine, Phoebe is a little shy and learning how to be a house pet. She loves other dogs. Phoebe needs a home with another dog and someone to be patient with her. She did have ACL surgery and recovered well with it but because of her living in a small pen, she wasnât able to properly exercise so she has arthritis and will need to be on a strong glucosamine and maybe pain meds eventually.

Ok, so in the article the school shooting was mentioned and it was stated that the bad guy doing the shooting was shot and killed by police officers. Am I missing something or are Police Officers not good guys with guns? Yea they responded after the fact but what would ahve happened had they not showed up? Same way with the Church shooting. How many more people would that maniac killed if it were not for the good guy with a gun shooting him as he exited the church and even persued him along with another good guy. There was another church 3 miles down the road. I think the guy that wrote this article has an issue wih his elevator not making it to the top floor, maybe not even leaving the basement. To reply to Brats statement! It's damn sure not the Military I served in............

I also hope they do heal but at 80 + no one heals fast. I have bumped into friends while out somewhere and they are all packing also and the know I do so we might stand and talk a few minutes and talk about what we are packing that day. I have had a few times one of them or someone with them that has never see a Mod.85 and will ask to see it. All I do is open my windbreaker and show it to them and close my jacket back. Just to show them, yea I do have it but you ain't touchng it approach and that normally ends that. Any gun I am packing feels leather twice a day. When I place the gun in the holster and and when I get home ad take it out of the holster. At the range it will get more leather action as I do practice standard draw aim fire routine but not like Matt Dillion or Jesse James. Just normal stuff.

Now that would be 1 very cool project and if I were you I would begin buying 22 ammo pretty soon cause that baby will sure eat some up quick..................

It really does not matter to me regardless of the caliber, I don't want to be facing the muzzle of any caliber, especially one a woman is holding................... I have had several LEO's tell me they would rather go up against a 45 Caliber than a 22lr with a bullet proof vest. I don't know how true that is but that is what I have had some tell me.

Now to begin with AJ did make me aware of the extraction issue with certain types of ammo and I also did own a couple Llama's over the years and didn't have any issues with ball ammo but they also did not like Critical defense style ammo rounds and would jam some but they would eat up ball ammo as fast as I could pull the trigger. I just got off the phone with a friend that is a gunsmith here that a bunch of folks know. He informed me that the issue the gun has is not the gun but the ammo. Like back with my old 22 rifle Sam said the older guns were not made to fire todays hotter ammo which most critical defense rounds are. They fire hotter and in many cases the action cannot keep up with it. He said that the FI should do fine using any type of FMJ ball ammo that is used mostly for target shooting but I can expect issues if I upgrade to Hotter ammo. I'm fine with that. I will take it to the range this coming week and run some rounds down range with it. I have done some research of this particular FI and it appears that is was assembled in 1974-1975 before they changed some things on the newer versions. I will talk with the folks at Triple K in California as I saw that they have magazines in stock for both the original series which is what I have and the newer version. He is a picture of the 2 different guns. Mine does have the loop at the bottom of the grip indicating one of the originals.

Back many moons ago I use to have a Revelation 22Lr semi auto that was a squirrel gun for sure. I could not count the tree rats I bagged with it and I began having the same issue of jamming when I switched to those new at the time CCI stingers. I finally went to a gun smith about the issue and he told me that my gun was to old to shoot the newer hotter ammo as it would make the action react faster then the magazine could position the round to insert in chamber. I don't know if that can be your issue but when I went back to some of the older HP long rifle rounds my problem went away.

Thanks and I don't own any thing larger than a 380 any more. I have own about all calibers and shot all calibers that a man might carry for self defense and I do understand many folks don't feel a 380 Caliber is effective enough for self defense but I think it is all in what a person is comfortable with and being able to put the 1st couple of rounds where they need to be is more important than the caliber. 22LR's have killed a lot of people..............

Ok, Here the pictures Ronald wanted.........

I can I guess but after coffee. Slep in today with all the cloudy gloomy day out side.

Will make a nice Night stand gun and will allow me to clean up my Model 85 and put it in my Safe and bring a Thunder to the place for me to lay my hands on in an emergency such as home intrusion or just going to the door at night to a knock.

I got to meet another TGO member today and had a very nice visit and completed a transaction in the process. Got to me AJ (Gotthegoods) and he is a great guy to talk with and do business with. I will let him tell you about our transaction if he chooses to but that will be up to him. If you have not met him and get the chance too don't pass it up. Bersaguy aka Doug

They told me it was optional on my DL form as to if I wanted a new picture or not. I just filled out the form and sent the bucks and got it in about 8 days. It's good now till 11/08/25.

I got my DL renewal in the mail so thought I would try online even though the is DMV station 3 miles from my house. I went on line filled out the form paid the tab and got my new license 8 days later. I hope when my HCP renewal comes I can do it and it be just as smooth in August 2018.

"It's Hollywood man" Hollywood never runs out of ammo, explosives, gas and heroes!!!

Me too!! From what I have been told by my son it was a big deer.

A friend of mine said he went and shot a new rifle he bought at Buds but it's not a rifle range but he got to shoot his new rifle anyway.

I posted this in the original thread on the church shooting. Since then the Church was fortunate to have the owner of a Security firm that also attends the church. They have now got out side Cameras that might show anyone approaching the church with any type of long gun and can be seen by all of the security people on their cell phones so they will have advanced warning before the would be shooter can even enter. A red light can be turned on in all 4 corners of the church signaling potential danger and people will act accordingly at that point. The church also got 3 complete Trauma kits supplied by a doctor that is also a member of the church. There is also other medical personnel such as nurses that attend the church. The Church has an attendance of about 135 members and I applaud them for their actions to make their congregation as safe as possible. The Sunday schools rooms of the church are also secured for the childrens protection. Original post I had a friend stop in today that attends a small church here in Gallatin and he and several friends of his that also attend the church and on any given Sunday there are 5 to 7 armed and trained people attending the service. Several of them are Vets and 2 police officers retired and they have sent up a code word similar to the Secret Service. The congregation all know the code word is "GUN" that is announced loudly by who ever sees the possible shooter and everyone in the church knows to get down below the pughs to gain cover while the security people confront the shooter. They actually do drills to make sure everyone responds just like fire drills when we were kids in school. The security people are not all in same location but in different areas so they can see most all the members of the church. He said they began doing this almost 2 years ago and the entire congregation is in approval.

I did watch the game on Thursday night because I wanted to see if the players were going to still protests and take a knee with it being Veterans day week. Well, the players didn't take a knee and stood arm in arm while Anthem was performed and they did at least show respect for the Veterans this weekend. I am going to see how they react today. If they take a knee again I will not watch the game..................

Back in the day I use to I guess you could say sight my deer rifle in about a week before the season but I think it was just more of a get together of a few deer hunting buddies that enjoy deer hunting but also enjoy shooting so it was kind of a combo deal for us. Most everyones rifles were all dead on from year before but was still fun to get together.

My 11 year old grandson bagged his first muzzle loader buck yesterday! A funny story....lol. It was about 9 AM and he was actually asleep in the stand and the buck woke him up snorting. He was up a tree about 20 feet and the buck was about 10 yards away and could smell him but could not see him so it snorted and woke Logan up. It took Logan a few seconds to realize what was going on and the deer began to walk away. Didn't spook but was headed towards a thicket so Logan hit his grunt and the buck stopped and and turned he got the shot and bagged an 8 pointer. I am suppose to be getting pictures of the deer today but I will probably have to remind Justin, his older brother to send them. Logan called me all excited about hs first Muzzle Loader deer.

I saw an ad today saying TSC (Tractor Supply Company) is giving 15% off to Vets on Saturday.

Yea , I use to have a Tokarev and shot it some but got to become more gun that I had use for and sold it. Regret it now but such is life.

I guess thats why they call it hunting and not tagging...............Sorry you missed the big guy but there is always tomorrow!!! Good luck!
