  1. From what I heard he only had purchased the 22 Caliber they found in his vehicle. His cousin bought to 40, the 9mm and the AR 15 and gave them to him for safe keeping!!!
  2. "What is going to happen when today's demonstrators cannot be controlled by tear gas, batons, hoses, and rubber bullets'? In all honesty I have been waiting for gun fire to ring out at any one of these taking place today. These people are not protesting a war!! In fact I would be willing to bet that 80+% don't really know why they are protesting. They are just joining a crowd of protestors and are for the most part just followers. They will also be the first ones killed when the hot lead starts because they don't know when to duck and run!!! As far as Kent State, up until last night I had only heard about it in letters from home. Last night was the first time I saw it first hand. We all knew that things were pretty bad back home from the letters each one of us got and we would read them out loud to anyone nearby that may not get mail. We never had any idea how bad till we began arriving home!! My mother cold not put in words how bad it was but she told me if there was any way possible to fly commercial and don't wear my uniform. I was having none of that. I flew with my men and wore my uniform with pride. First chance I had I changed in my Dress Whites. I thought there was no way the American people could have been 1/1000th as bad as where I had just left. I was almost wrong for the 1st 8 hours at home.
  3. Fighting City Hall has always been an up hill battle with very few wins for the good guys. Hope you win but not holding my breath..........MHO
  4. I watched episode 8 last evening and thats all I have to say on the subject!..................
  5. Back when I was a kid our house had a chunk rock circle driveway and I would gather Black Walnuts all up and down the road in neighbors yards and bring them home and scatter them all in the driveway. In about 2 or three weeks of driving in it I would go out and get all the nuts I could find and when my mother told me to I would split them in half with a hammer and then take them in the house. My mother would sit with a nut pick and dig the walnuts out of the hulls. I was always glad to do this cause it meant Fall was in the air. Hunting season was coming and the Holidays were also coming and my mother use to begin baking all kinds of homemade cookies and many of them had Black Walnuts in them. The house always smelled so good for about a month and a half. I can close my eyes and still remember how great the house smelled 60 years ago. About 4 years ago a buddy of mine bring me about a 1/2 bushel of Black walnuts for my squirrels and I thanked him but in the back of my mind I thought the city squirrels may not eat them. But I spead them out in my driveway and parking area in front of my house. The next day it was funny cause I watched 3 little gray squirrels collecting these wall nuts still with green hulls and they were taking them out in the back yard and my neighbors back yard and burying them as fast as they could. Late in the winter after they had been buried the squirrels would dig up a couple and finish hulling them and man can they open one of the suckers up...........LOL! Not a problem at all for them. Oh yea, I had 3 walnut trees about 10 inches tall try and begin growing in my back yard and Ronnie my neighbor said he had about 5 trying to grow in his yard. We both pulled them up and kept our eyes peeled and only had 2 more try to grow and we got those also.
  6. Of course it's good looking!!!! It's a Bersa..................
  7. I have one very similar to the one shown in the link. In fact I have 5 of them in places throughout my house. I found them on sale at of all places Tractor Supply. I bouht one and brought it home and that night about 10 oclock I went out side to see about how bright it was. I was so impressed I went back the next day and purchased 4 more. I went out in my back yard that night and did some testing and I could see rabbits in neighbors back yard about 70 yards away as clear as if they were in my back yard. The lights have three different light settings and you can adjust it as a wide able view all the way down to a keen almost laser type light beam. I would recommend every one should have a light like these..............JMHO
  8. I have been posting to this and reading all the posts and over the last two hours I have watched all the news networks that carried what Trump had to say in Alabama Friday night. I did vote for Trump and would vote for him again over Hillary Clinton. Now with that said. I have the utmost respect for this great country and I fought for it and all it stands for in our Constitution and our Flag is a symbol of that Constitution. The National Anthem is applied and a part of this Country's Legacy and has been around a lot longer than I have and will be long after I am gone. Now with that all said, after listening to what President Turmp said on Friday Night as much as I honor the office he holds I cannot accept his choice of words he used when calling all of the football players a name that is so very negative not only to the players but towards their Mothers as well. I find myself in a catch 22 here as I was siding with the office without knowing the full story. I know that he has never been in politics and he is very raw at times but that is still not an excuse for calling anyone out of their name. I never walked away if anyone called me out of my name if reference to my Mother and to this day I still won't. I can now clearly see both sides to this and even though I have never thought to wrong cannot make a right in this instance I do believe the players maybe more right than the President. I don't believe that they all were protesting for same reason and Colin Kaepernick is but I do believe they did have a good reason for their actions. I won't be burning my football jerseys in protest because I don't own any. I just hope and pray that our country can come together in Unity again and be the great country I grew up in and fought for....................JMHO
  9. Well, I have quit buying cartons and gone to buy only a couple packs at a time which is slightly more costly which is also making it more of a deterent for me to smoke as many. I am also using a plan a buddy of mine used when he got ready to quit to see if it works for me. I get up at the same time each day and have my coffee and breakfast biscuit and I would have a smoke right after the biscuit. About a week ago I began doing the 1/2 hour program which means each day I have to wait 1/2 hour later each day before lighting up. Since I am up at 7AM on the first day I lit up right after my biscuit. The next day I waiting 1/2 hour after my biscuit which put me lighting up at 7:30 AM and then it was 8AM and so on and so forth and today it was 11AM when I lit up and I almost fell off and lit up early but held out. It is not normal for me to have as many cigarettes in a pack as I am having each night! I just hope I can stand firm and eventually reach the point that I run out of hours in a day to light one up and can be strong enough to push through it.................
  10. I think Jerry Jones has already made his feelings know to his Cowboys so I don't think any of them will be taking a knee or not being on the side line for the Anthem unless they would like to be job hunting pretty quick and I would think they might have learned from Kaepernicks experience but then one never knows!!!.............JMHO
  11. I think there were a few other players that stood outside the tunnels with their hand on their heart but he was the only one that is a decorated Veteran to do it..................JMHO
  12. This all began with Colin Kapperneck of the 49's taking a knee after a police officer shot Michael Brown in St Louis and was found officer was not guilty of murder. At the time Kapperneck was under a 2+ milion dollar contract and the 49's cut him loose at the end of the season and he is yet to be picked up by any other team. No one wants to hire a trouble maker regardles of their talents. Now whole teams have taken up his fight which I find totally out of line and will not ever watch another NFL game. I will also be sending them an email with my feelings. I will also be sending any emails I can find to the network sponsors that support the NFL. Kapperneck was adopted by a white couple and raised him, put him through college and gave him the opportunity of a lifetime and this is how he repays them!!!! There is a rule in the NFL that any yeam not on the sidelines for the Anthem will be fined. The NFL has waived those fines for this past weekend. That just shows everyone how weak the NFL really is. I hope next week that 15% in lost ratings from last year is 50% next weekend............JMHO
  13. Thats a nice way to start the season for sure..................
  14. I have no issue with a person buying drugs on street corners except it's those drugs that cause crimes like the Holly Bobo murder and home invasions of innocent people and having people harmed for street druggy to get that 10 minutes of happiness. Whole lives are destroyed forever for that 10 minutes of happiness. That guy that testified in the Zack Adams case admitted that a half tablet of Heroine shot up lasted about 10 minutes and the high was gone. Thats just crazy to me but such is life these days. If my home ever get a home invasion I will do my level best to end their drug addiction permanently................JMHO
  15. The report I read the usher tried to stop him but was struck in the head by the guy with the pistol and then went and got his gun from his car and confronted the guy. There will probably be 10 different stories before it is all known.................
  16. From what I read in another article as soon as he was confronted by another person with a gun he tried to kill himself. Typical coward as are most all these types of thugs. The second they are confronted by another gun they pop themselves.............
  17. I don't see any thing to be sad about 516. The Deacons/members are just keeping the flock of sheep safe from harm. Every flock should have at least 1 or 2 Sheep Dogs...........JMHO
  18. I am not a person that attends church often but very strong believer in the Father, Son and Prayer and if I did attend a church I would definately be armed. I would be one of the Sheep Dogs guarding the flock for sure. Prayers being sent for those church members.
  19. For the most part I think the so called War on Drugs is a joke. The only part of this so called war is being taken out on the law abiding citizens that actually do need the medications for real pain and going to real doctors for help. The actual Street Drugs of Meth, Crack, Cocaine and Heroin where the war should be is slim to none!! Oh yea they bust the street corner pushers and lock them up and before they get them to the police station another one takes his place on the corner. When they actually declare War on Drugs they will take down the people that are supplying the street corner salesmen. Another thing I don't understand is we are suppose to have a War on Drugs in this country and there are states that are legalizing them!!!!! I guess those states have figured out it is easier to join the drug cartels than it is to fight them???? Yea, I know it's just Marijuana some will say but what is next???
  20. I'm sorry that you suffer from chronic pain and I was not speaking about people that actually get the medication and use it for pain. People that have pain definately should be able to receive it. I think the states idea of forcing people to see a Psychologist is totally rediculous. Do they think the guy can talk away your pain? I think the state never makes the correct decision on anyones health situation and need to leave that between the doctor and patient. The more the states and laws crack down on the people that actually need the medications your going to see stuff like Meth, Cocaine and Heroin becoming more popular. The reason they come down on people that really need the medicine is because it is easier to put the pressure on doctors and patients than to hunt down the major drug cartels and stop the much more deadly drugs from getting on street corners for sale. I'm glad you were able to find a pain clinic that is actually concerned about a patients pain. I am sorry your having to jump through all those stupid hoops due to your pain.
  21. The only problem I see with legalizing it is for the most part much of it is already legal. There are pain clinics on about every corner these days and for the most part they spend 15 minutes with a patient and then hand them a prescription for 100+ Loritabs and set the an appointment for the next month before they leave. I have known about 5 different people that do that and then they hit the street running selling them for 10 + bucks each. All of them have been caught at least 5+ times for selling prescription drugs and get locked up for about a month of two. Then with all the over crowding issues in jails they are back out and doing the same thing over and over. They are not the users but the sellers. When I found out what they were doing I told each one of them to never come to my house ever again and they have not been here again..................
  22. Actually there was a sister gun to the 85 which was the 86 but is completely rare and both the 85 and 86 were replaced by the Thunder Plus. The 85&86 were discontinued in 1994 and the Thunder Plus was introduced in 1995. The only real difference in the 85 and 86 was in the grip. Where the 85 has somewhat squared off grips the 86 had a more rounded grip but not much else. I can't see much difference in the Thunder Plus and the 85's. I think I read that there was about 1 ounce difference in loaded weight and the Thunder had the advantage of being the lighter of the 2. I hunted high and low for a back up magazine and anyone that has them are keeping them. I talked with my gunsmith about the issue. He told me to let him look and see what he could find and asked me if I could leave the 85 with him a couple days so I did. About a week later he called me up and told me to come by when I had time. I stopped in that afternoon. He took me down to the range and he went three 3 different mags one being the original and 2 others that he had purchased and modified just a very little and they worked perfectly just as the original did. They were the Thunder Plus magazines that he altered just a tad to make them work. I went through a box of ammo trying them out myself and paid him and left with now having 3 magazines for my 85.
  23. I don't know if anyone has been following the Holly Bobo Murder trial but it ended today with a guilty verdict on all 8 counts he was charged with and tomorrow the jury tells his sentence which could be death sentence on any one of the first 3 charges. They has zero physical evidence in this case and most of the case was based on testimony of other people connected to the crime and are also going to be charged and tried for the crime and cell phone tower pings of all cell phones involved. It appears that everyone turned snitch to nail Zack Adams to maybe later get to cut a plea deal to avoid the death sentence when they get charged and go to trial. I am not sure about all of that stuff and games they played to get this conviction. Bad guys snitching out other bad guys and testifying in court in a Premetated 1st degree Murder case with death sentence on the line. When ask of the jury if they were familiar with the crime every one of them said yes and they used them anyway. The defense even had 2 TBI agaents say that Zack was not the man that killed Holly Bobo and the jury did not believe the 2 agents but believe the criminals testimonies.................I think the entire judicial system has gone to hell in a handbag. I'm not saying he didn't commit the crime but I do think that the trial was a total farce..................JMHO I might should have put this in the swamp and if it needs to be moved please do so..........
  24. If you have a use for this one I will be more than glad to send it to you..........
  25. Smoking is my real VICE that I would like to stop and have done it a few times and longest was 6 months about 3 years ago and still cannot tell you why I ever started back!!! I am 69 years old and been smoking 59 of them except for the few times I quit. I asked my doctor about it and her exact reply to me was that I have been smoking so long that she said patches and Chantix and other stuff on the market would most likely fail to help me. She said that most likely those medications might even throw my body in some kind of shock. I have made up my mind that I am going to cut back on them and see if I can go cold turkey one more time and make it happen this time.
