I have a CWP and there is no way you could drag me to that event. The reason for the event or anything else has not been made clear as I can read and just knowing that a bunch of Strangers, possibly dope smokers and Meth heads would be enough for me to put the brakes on and run not walk away from that invitation..........jmho -
If your lucky enough to be able to get in touch with the builder before he has listed a house through a realtor many times you can deal directly with the builder and buy the house and save a lot of money. I have know several friends that have done that in the past. The only thing is you need to have a loan approval up front when you approach the builder because they will not arrange any mortgage assistance. Hope you get the house you want........good luck!

I was having very similar issues but not just one here but on a few fishing sites I visit. I finally had my Virus Protection Service do a wipe of my computer 2 weeks ago and now don't have the issue. They said I had some Malware that was causing the issue on my computer............... Might be worth a try depending on who you have for protection. I have AVG.

When it comes to any part of the 2nd Amendment and it's deifinition when has a Federal, State or local government ever written a law in plain English so any layman can understand it? I would be willing to bet 90% of most policemen or any level of Law Enforcement can't actually explain in layman terms what any law reads so when in question they just arrest you and let the judge and the courts decide what the law interpets.(That is if they are able to translate it) Do I think they do this on purpose? Of course they do like, chances R said, "just to keep the water muddy."

The Left and the False News People are working overtime trying their best to get Sessions removed because they are deathly afraid he is going to do what the job calls for. I hope Sessions remains Attorney General.............jmho

The Feds have to protect the Big Pharm companies and all the Distilleries because of the large profits the Feds are making off of them so naming any particular brand of Alcohol or Prescribed medications would surely be a fight............jmho

I can say witha clear mind and heart that I have never smoked pot in my life and never plan to even if they do make it legal. Wish I could say the same about Old #7 Jack Black cause I have down some of that over the years but never to the state of becoming an alcoholic and still have some on the shelf here to this day. In All honesty I think the Feds are not really putting up a real fight against states making it legal because once they do the Feds will slap a big fat tax on it like they have on Booze, Cigarettes and gasolene and it will just mean more money for the Feds to blow and politicians to steal................JMHO

Have not see a crash like that since back years ago when I was a kid growing up just west of Chicago on the South West Expressway in January 1965. We moved to Tennessee in 67 and never looked back. Mother was born here so grew up in a southern life style even up there. Did not have any adjustments to make and fit right in with family down here...................

I just watched the 1st movie the other night and I was impressed and wish I would have watched it sooner. I have seldom ever seen sequel movie top the original but a few have said this one is really close so I will make it a point to see this one sooner................

I guess it might just be me but I have never found the 2 safety's an issue. The slide safety remains in the fire mode at all times. with this being a hammer firearm when hammer is unloaded that is also a safety (unofficially) and then you have up & down safety. If I carry the gun with the hammer in the loaded position I have that safety on safe. with hammer down it is on fire which enables me to cock the hammer for action. Once you have spent a few days with the Phoenix it becomes far less an issue...............jmho

I know you said your looking for a revolver but if you go the the Semi auto route and you know someone that owns a Phoenix HP22 you may want to shoot it some if they will let you borrow it. I have one for a pocket pistol and have been to the range with it many times and it never fails to please me more each time I shoot it. Not fancy, not a real brand name and costs about $149.00 new and the gun is more gun than many people think it is. It holds 10+1 in the tube and mine has never failed feed or fire with about any brand of ammo............Just might be an option to look at.............JMHO

Yea I knew that Garufa as I did a bunch of research on it right after I got it. When I first got it back years ago I really enjoyed shooting it but as the years have passed it goes to the range less and less. It's a lot of firearm for a man that is about half what he was 10 years ago when it comes to strenght. It take me both hands and a lot of grip to squeeze off rounds from it these days. My son has spoke up and said when I got ready to get rid of it he wanted it and I told him he would get it when I was ready. Just not ready yet...................
-
Yep, loud for sure and fast and accurate rounds. I had a buddy get one and he let me shoot it and I fell in love with it but it's a lot of gun to carry so it stays in the safe a lot. I have I think 3 or 4 sealed ammo boxes of factory ammo I bought back years ago for I think $89.00 a can. I don't think you can order the factory boxes of the ammo any longer. Now as for loud, I normally wear ear plugs at the range but when I take the Tok I take my heavy duty muffs and it's still loud..............

I knew a man like this in the small town I grew up in. A lesson of life Read the following and have a GREAT day! I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes. I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean, hungrily apprising a basket of freshly picked green peas. I paid for my potatoes but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes. Pondering the peas, I couldn't help overhearing the conversation between Mr. Miller (the store owner) and the ragged boy next to me. 'Hello Barry, how are you today?' 'H'lo, Mr. Miller. Fine, thank ya. Jus' admirin' them peas. They sure look good.' 'They are good, Barry. How's your Ma?' 'Fine.. Gittin' stronger alla' time.' 'Good. Anything I can help you with?' 'No, Sir. Jus' admirin' them peas.' 'Would you like to take some home?' asked Mr. Miller. 'No, Sir. Got nuthin' to pay for 'em with.' 'Well, what have you to trade me for some of those peas?' 'All I got's my prize marble here.' 'Is that right? Let me see it' said Miller. 'Here 'tis.. She's a dandy.' 'I can see that. Hmmmmm, only thing is this one is blue and I sort of go for red. Do you have a red one like this at home?' the store owner asked. 'Not zackley but almost.' 'Tell you what. Take this sack of peas home with you and next trip this way let me look at that red marble'. Mr. Miller told the boy. 'Sure will. Thanks Mr. Miller.' Mrs. Miller, who had been standing nearby, came over to help me. With a smile she said, 'There are two other boys like him in our community, all three are in very poor circumstances. Jim just loves to bargain with them for peas, apples, tomatoes, or whatever.. When they come back with their red marbles, and they always do, he decides he doesn't like red after all and he sends them home with a bag of produce for a green marble or an orange one, when they come on their next trip to the store.' I left the store smiling to myself, impressed with this man. A short time later I moved to Colorado , but I never forgot the story of this man, the boys, and their bartering for marbles. Several years went by, each more rapid than the previous one. Just recently I had occasion to visit some old friends in that Idaho community and while I was there learned that Mr. Miller had died. They were having his visitation that evening and knowing my friends wanted to go, I agreed to accompany them. Upon arrival at the mortuary we fell into line to meet the relatives of the deceased and to offer whatever words of comfort we could. Ahead of us in line were three young men. One was in an army uniform and the other two wore nice haircuts, dark suits and white shirts...all very professional looking. They approached Mrs. Miller, standing composed and smiling by her husband's casket. Each of the young men hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke briefly with her and moved on to the casket. Her misty light blue eyes followed them as, one by one, each young man stopped briefly and placed his own warm hand over the cold pale hand in the casket. Each left the mortuary awkwardly, wiping his eyes. Our turn came to meet Mrs. Miller. I told her who I was and reminded her of the story from those many years ago and what she had told me about her husband's bartering for marbles. With her eyes glistening, she took my hand and led me to the casket. 'Those three young men who just left were the boys I told you about. They just told me how they appreciated the things Jim 'traded' them. Now, at last, when Jim could not change his mind about color or size.....they came to pay their debt..' 'We've never had a great deal of the wealth of this world,' she confided, 'but right now, Jim would consider himself the richest man in Idaho .' With loving gentleness she lifted the lifeless fingers of her deceased husband. Resting underneath were three exquisitely shined red Marbles. The Moral : We will not be remembered by our words, but by our kind deeds. Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath.

No! My favorite is my Mod 85 Bersa but my everyday carry is my Bersa Thunder. Holds 7+1 in the tube and 2 mags on my belt. Mod 85 is my fun to shoot at range gun and sometimes carry but prefer to carry the Thunder do to weight factors............jmho

I want to thank all of you for your kind words. I do have many great memories we made together either fishing or at the range..................

I lost a very close friend today that I have know for 30+ years. We began as fishing partners in small tournaments and just going fishing. He was a regular coffee and Biscuit bum and was over at my house almost every morning to just shoot the poop about this and that. He was also very much into firearms and has a very sizable collection of assorted firearms and ammo. He passed away doing what he loved. He was fishing on Dale Hollow today when he suffered a heart attack. The buddy fishing with him called 911 and told the ambulance what ramp he would take him to and he got to the ramp and there was 2 other anglers just putting in and they performed CPR on him for almost 30 minutes till the ambulance arrived. He was alive when he arrived at the hospital but he died in the ER at the Celina Hospital. I will miss him for ever.....................

Back years ago when I was plum dumb and had the "Need for Speed" I owned several very fast street cars and my last one was a 1971 Hemi Cuda( Baracuda) with 4.11 rear gears and Hurst 4 speed trans and 450 dyno HP under the hood. Own the car about 5 years but never drove it a lot because could not afford the top grade fuel it needed to perform as it should so I sold it for $3,000.00 more then I paid for it. Never had the need for speed any more.

Just saw a news broadcast about the Ford Explorers having dangerous conditions with Exhaust Fumes inside vehicles causing everything from dizziness to headaches and 1 State Trooper passed out while driving his patrol Explorer and hit a tree off the side of the road just barely missing a head on collision with an on coming SUV. If any of ya'll own one of these between 2012 and 2017 beware that your health is at risk..............

+1, yea they are subject to break also, just not quite as often and you are correct about the crack being more pronounced and easier to see for sure
