I have one and have fired about 300 rounds through it at the range and never had an issue with mine. I also have a 380 Thunder and have put probably 500+ rounds through it with no issues.

Alright, Which One of You Was in the Co-op Today?
bersaguy replied to gjohnsoniv's topic in Handguns
He will be the first one shot if an armed robbery takes place where he is shopping at. I have no clue why people want to become target # 1 in the event of a armed robbery? I carry every time I walk out my door but I am the only one that will know it if something happens and I need to use my weapon for defense purposes..........jmho -
According to the weather service we are suppose to have some cooler weather this week so son in law is bringing the Skeeter to me to use this week. I'm going to try and fish some on Old Hickory and Percy Priest lakes and see if I can still remember how to fish and drive a bass boat...............

Yea I looked into the cost of Cremations and they average 1 to 3 grand for the most part and I have that put back already for the most part. I also have a friend that is executor to my estate such as it is and he will be handling all of the arrangements I have written down so family will not have to worry about it. He also told me that if there are any outside costs he would cover them and not pit anything on my family. I have told him that if there is any additional costs he knows what I have already told him to dispose of to cover any costs. He is also a gun person, Nuff said on that part. Thanks for the advice folks.so far everyone is thinking along the same lines I am.................

Well, I have been shopping a burial/Cremation insurance policy and I am not having much luck with anything I can afford so thought I would see if someone here might have an idea who I might check out. I have shopped everything that is advertised on TV that is suppose to be affordable and most of them are rip offs in one way or another. All of the ones I looked at don't pay full benefits until your past the 2 year time limit. They will only refund all you paid in unless you are killed in accident. I have a policy that I am going to terminate in September because when I purchased the policy the company didn't have any bad reports and had high ratings. Since my purchase 3 years ago they have gotten a ton of bad reviews of not paying benefits on claims and finding excuses why they should not pay. I would appreciate any ideas anyone here may have. I am at a point right now that I can just keep putting money back and pay for my own cremation and take the burden off any family members. I don't owe any creditors so family will not have to face any of those. Thanks for any advice anyone may have to offer!!!!

In all honesty I think the judge whimped out because they were afraid of riots and BLM showing up in Hendersonville...........jmho

Here locally in Hendersonville a father shot and killed his 11 year old daughter right after coming in from school bus. He tried to convince the police she was shot by someone outside before coming in but no blood was found outside. They arrested him and judge set his bond at 1 million dollars. I cannot believe that people signed a petition to get this guys bond reduced and set up a Go Fund Me account to help raise his bond and the judge was willing and did reduce it to 1/2 half a million. He got bonded out the next day. What is wrong with people that they would think he should get a lower bond after he just committed cold blooded murder of his 11 year old daughter ? He was already a wanted felon and they think this guys bond should be lower????????? I think he should not have been given bond period..........jmho

Cookeville was probably picked because it's an ODD city and does not have a large African American population, these are the kinds of small towns/cities they want to find. Also consider the size of the police presence they would be able to provide would not be adequate should they decide to get rowdy..........................jmho

I have more than I can use up in my lifetime but then I have always had that much even when I was a kid and could buy 50 rounds for 79 cents. I had more than enough to get my when the shortage hit but still bought a little from David and his daughter Sam.

I grew up hunting about anything their was a season for beginning with Squirrel / Dove which were I lived both opened on same day and then went into Rabbit, Pheasant and Quail. Then Duck and Goose season. By age 12 I was a pretty good hunter. I always brought home meat and kept freezer stocked. Now as far as the cooking went that was all left up to my mother and she could make any of it taste great regardless of what she made. When we moved south in 1966 I added deer to my game list and dropped Duck and Goose because of the what I considered stupid blind draw regulations TWRA had. I have not been hunting since 1990 when my health went down hill and I do miss it but still have all my memories of all the good times I had listening to my beagles on trail of a Tennessee cotton tail.

You are correct but I was referring to the standard family edition Soccer Mom mini vans and such as that. The new hot rods I would imagine do require hotter fuels. As far as fuels go back when I was a youngster and driving a real hot rod muscle car which was a 65 Dodge Coronet 426 Hemi I only ran Super Shell 95 octane gas with additive Shell called Platformate(spel?) Anything else would give the Hemi Valve clatter and pinging.

I went through this back in 1998 with my new Skeeter Bass boat. I had always used 93 octane fuel in all my boats for many years. When I bought my new Skeeter with the Yamaha outboard on her I was burning 93 octane for about the first year. One day I got an opportunity to sit sown and speak with a rep from Yamaha USA. I was asking him a few questions and we got off on the discussion of fuels and I told him I was running 93 in mine and he told me I was wasting my money. He asked me if I had tried the 87 octane and I said no. He said my Yamaha would give me the same performance and actually inprove my fuel miliage with 87 as I was getting from 93. Well, I decided one day to see if the guy was right. I ran the Skeeter down to running on fumes and then filled it up with 97 octane. Next trip out the hole shot was just as good and aceleration was same. I made a long run I had made a 100 times to check fuel miliage. I went from Bull Creek in Gallatin to Second Creek in Lebanon on Cumberland River and back pretty much WOT. That trip would normally put the boat on fumes when it went back on the trailer. That day when I put the boat on the trailer I still had 1/4 tank of fuel. Filled the boat up on way home and it cost almost 12.00 bucks less to fill it up. I call that rep and told him he was right about the 87 and asked him ow that was able to happen. He said that back in 1993 Yamaha began building their motors to give peak performance on 87 octane fuels and all of their electronics and onboard computer was programmed to making timing adjustments accordingly to run 87. My Son in law is using boat more than me these days and he is also running 87. The automobile industry is doing the same thing with their new vehicles. They are all programmed for 87 octane fuels.

Well, I have never thought road rage was a reason to shoot someone unless they pulled out a weapon to hurt me but then I would never pull over to get involved in a confrontation to begin with. I do find myself getting flipped off a lot these days than I did years ago and I guess that is because I do drive a little slower than I use to. On 2 lane roads I will drive the posted speed but on 4 lane roads I do drive about 10 miles under posted limit but remain in right lane and have vehicles wizzing by me that I know are doing well over the posted speed. Sometimes that is when folks flip the bird at me after they had to follow me until they could get in fast lane and pass. I am never in a hurry to get anywhere I am going anymore so I just take my time and enjoy the drive.

I heard later a few days after the Coup attempt that one of the jets had Erdogan's plane in his sites and had Missle Lock but did not fire. If this was not a plan designed by the government why did the jet pilot not fire. Because he was actually protecting the plane so they could land and shooting down the Helicopters that were firing on the government buildings and the jets were shooting them down. ............................

I have a friend that has a Mossberg 500 and he loves it. I have an Emperor and I love it. It has a Breacher Choke tube and has a very impressive pattern at 50 feet with 3 inch magnum BB rounds.

I expect many of them have seen it and probably wish it didn't exist because it puts their beliefs in a very bad light. I have noticed above all other things the people screaming the loudest about gun control are the ones that are surrounded by men and women packing guns to protect them so they don't have to worry about protection. You can bet if they didn't have the protection they do they would all be packing a gun and not be screaming that we as Americans should not have guns. If all of the men/women setting in plush comfy offices that own all these places they have made into killing fields had to work in them they would not be gun free zones. They don't mind risking the lives of the people making $7.50 an hour in a pizza store or working on the floor waiting tables for customers in a resturant, Working in a factory where some disgruntled employee gets fired and goes home and gets gun and comes back to take his rage out on employees that never did a thing to that person. Movie Theater Company owners don't care about charging $12.50 to $15.00 to go into one of their businesses to enjoy a movie but do care that you can protect yourself while in there so they don't allow you to be armed even though you have a legal permit that says you can carry a firearm. Or Students in a school or college where some board of directors does not set foot in desides that the students and teachers are expendible. As long as these Gun Free Zones (Killing Fields) exist and remain soft targets this will be an issue!..............jmho

That is my concern more than any other of this entire election is the Supreme Court. It can destroy our Constitution and alter Americans total way of life begining with the 2nd Amendment. That alone should be enough to bring out every Republican, Conservative, Independent and even some Democrats that are firearms owners to swing vote away from the DNC. That is also a good point by several that have mentioned we need to also make sure we cast votes that will help us remain in control of the House and Senate. This is the election that is more about our childrens futures than ours. All I can ask is what kind of future do you want for your children and grandchildren?................jmho

One thing is for sure. He has probably shot about everything in your safe and is bound to have a favorite and is already more than familiar with any one in the safe. It can be his first gun plus given to him by his father and can become an heirloom all at the same time..............jmho

Prayers to yet another family of a fallen LEO in the line of duty. I think the police are going to have to send numerous cars to 911 calls regarding things like Drive by shootings and domestic violence calls. They are apparantly using to for ambush calls. If several cars respond it might discourage the ambushes some.............jmho

I carry while in my Skeeter every time I am on the water and have been checked several times by TWRA for safety equipment and I open carry in the boat and TWRA has never asked for my carry permit or said a word about me being armed. So I cannot say either way about boats by law but I feel if I was breaking any laws the Game Watdens would have surely brought it to my attention or arrested me...............jmho

I have a bad feeling that the headlines are not going to be what is going on inside the Convention Center but what is going on out side. They say they have enough police but do they have enough Ambulances, Paramedics and Emergency room beds available. I hope I'm wrong but I think they might need at least 5 MASH units put on site with military doctors that know how to treat bullet wounds..........JMHO

Prayers for the families of the Police Officers that lost their lives in Baton Rouge this morning and also to the families of the wounded. I don't think this is going to end soon or well. I will stand on the side of the police every time and I have had my share of discussions over my 68 years with them. Yea, there was a few that I felt could have been more professional. I also realize they are not delivering PIzza's or working at Mickey D's. They are putting their lives on the line every time a 911 call comes in or every time they see a crime being committed. If it ever came down to whose back I would have you can bet it will be the Police Officers every time.........jmho
