Got to meet GKar today and had a very nice visit with him. He is a great person and a very nice guy to sit and visit with. He came down from up in the mountains to pick up a few things. Hope he has a great and safe uneventful trip back home.................... :up: :up: 

When I have ti ship something like a scope or anything fragile I take the item to UPS Store and let them pack it. They are equip to be able to make sure they pack the item so it is very safe. I use to ship 4 quart jars of Sorghum at a time to my brother and his wife in California. They packed it for about $4.00 and I never had an issue with any jars getting broken................jmho  

I have caught several Stripers over 35 lbs during my years of fishing. Caught one over 40lb on  Jig rig on the Sh-t Hole on Old Hickory Lake and I had a good fight for about 25 minutes and I ended up just letting the fish drag the boat till it turned belly up and died from stress and fight. Most of the bigger ones that fight that hard end up dying. Gave the fish to a guy on the bank that was fishing for the table just so it would not go to waste. The guy was sure happy to get it.................... :up: :up:

I don't expect anyone is obligated to engage an active shooter unless it would involve protecting my life or life of Loved ones. With that said, I would more than likely if I had a good chance of seeing an opportunity to take down an active shooter that was trying to kill innocent people I would engage the shooter/shooters and hope that there might be a couple more Sheep Dogs at the scene willing to also engage. In most cases the shooters are not expecting someone to be shooting back which does give a Sheepdog an edge. With that said my family and myself comes first and foremost.......................jmho

Well, I began a list a long time ago of places I use to spend my hard earned money that went GUN BUSTER signage and I have not went back to any of them even though several have removed the signs. Once they realized they were costing them customers that is. Once I know their true feelings regarding my rights I will then express my rights by never doing business with them again. For every business with a sign posted, there are 10 stores that sell pretty much the same products without the signs...................jmho

I have a friend that is a K-9 officer up in Robertson County and he had a Doberman for his K-9. About 5 or 6 years ago his partner gave his life protecting my friend from a pistol wheeling drug dealer and jumped in front of him to take the bullets. My friend did kill the bad guy but he lost Jake. He was heart broken because they had been partners for 8 years. I went to see him about a month later and he was getting ready to move off the K-9 division over his grief. At the time I happen to have a friend that was having to give up his Dobie because he was moving into an apartment from a house in a divorce. I asked him if I could have Sadie and he said yes. Sadie was about 10 months old and ready for training to begin.   When I went to visit my friend I had Sadie in my sons Van and we talked for a few minutes and I asked him to help me with something in the van and we walked out and I opened the back doors. She looked at him and he looked at her and then he turned to look at me. I said her name is Sadie and she needs a home. He looked back at her and I saw his eyes swell up and he called to her and she jumped into him arms.   He didn't quit the K-9 force but he didn't use Sadie either. He did train her but he trained her for guard duty at his home in the country to protect his wife and children while he was working. His property if completely cyclone fenced with gates and on the front gate a sign reads "K-9 officer on duty. Enter at your own risk". Anyone that wants to visit him or family calls first. I have seen her about 3 times since I gave her to him. She turned out to be one awesome Doby for sure............ :cheers:

During my years of fishing in tournament competition I caught 19 large mouth bass over 10 lbs and 3 over 11 lbs 3 over 12lbs and 1 over 13lbs. The 12's and 13 were all in the Spring of the year and all were full of eggs to get ready to spawn and I didn't take any of the to the scales because they were all caught during practice so all got released right where they were staging to spawn and all were released healthy and unhurt. In all honesty I doubt I would have taken them to the scales if I caught them in a tournament knowing that spawn would be lost. I was sportsman first and tournament angler second............................ :up: :up:  I did win my share of events over the years and did take my share of 10 pounders to the scales but not in the Spring. Was just something about those big green ladies and Spring and my love of the sport that protecting the spawn was more important to me than losing a few bucks and coming in second or third at the scales........ :shrug: :shrug:

And just how many bears and wild boars are we going to see in grocery store parking lot?........................... :wall: :wall:

SENIOR DRIVING As a senior citizen was driving down the motorway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, " Vernon , I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on M25. Please be careful!" "Hell," said Vernon , "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"  

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to major crossroad. The stop light was red, but they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light." After a few more minutes, they came to another major junction and the light was red again . Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous. At the next junction, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!" Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh! Am I driving?"

ROMANCE An older couple were lying in bed one night. The husband was falling asleep but the wife was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk. She said: "You used to hold my hand when we were courting." Wearily he reached across, held her hand for a second and tried to get back to sleep. A few moments later she said: "Then you used to kiss me." Mildly irritated, he reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled down to sleep. Thirty seconds later she said: "Then you used to bite my Neck." Angrily, he threw back the bed clothes and got out of bed. "Where are you going?" she asked. "To get my teeth!

I also think the guy was a jerk! I respect all LEO's if they show me respect up front. Asking to see a carry permit is nothing to get so upset about. I have been asked once to show my permit by an officer while pulled over for a seat belt issue in which I was not ticketed for  because I did have my belt buckled up. Just not the shoulder strap. Showed the officer my Drivers license, proof of insurance and carry permit. Officer was very professional and turned me loose and told me to have a nice day.................. :cheers:

Nice Bucketmouth for sure. Anyone could be proud of a nice big Bass like that one............................ :rock:

Probably more Politically Correctness Bull :poop:................. :wall: 

I wonder if Obama reads this he will  :cry:  again?........................ :dirty:

All their gear for sale in their store still has the Indian on it......................... :shrug:

Really liked Dan Haggerty also. Sorry to hear of that loss. Grew up with him and that bear...........RIP Dan................... :cry:

In all honesty I believe that what is happening in Europe is what Obama had planned for America and he has fought hard to make it happen. He has one year left and I look for him to make an all out effort to try and get this done. We as Americans need to make sure it does not happen. WE THE PEOPLE are going to be the defining force that prevents it. We need to stay on our elected officials at every opportunity to make sure the 2nd Amendment remains a strong and protected right. I think most of us know that Hildebeast and Old Bernie must not get elected or the Supreme Court will fall for sure...................jmho

I will sure miss him. He was my favorite bad guy / villains of all times. RIP Alan

I'm just proud that someone from Tennessee finally made it. Tired of the Yankees always winning it..............jmho

This may be the real reason Obama has avoided getting involved in Chicago's serious gun violence issues. I wonder how much he was involved in these corrupt actions while he was a Community Organizer and what does he have to hide that might come out if he tried to address the issue going on there?........................ :shrug: :shrug:

In all honesty I think that is exactly what Obama would like to happen here and destabilize our country also. One big difference is like Obiwan said, Thank GOD we have the 2nd amendment and Obama was not able in his Presidency to take that away from us but not for lack of not trying. He did really try awful hard to get it done and I fear he is not done yet..................JMHO

If I won any large sum of money like that in the lottery I would as soon as possible convert as much of it was I could into Gold and Silver. That way when the big banks fail again I will have plenty put back in a hole in the ground in a place on about 2500 acres I would buy to hide it on and put a security system from Hell on the property on which I lived also. ...........................jmho

I have always said I would rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6. All I can say is with all the Muslim trouble they have in France I am really surprised that the guy was able to stay as clear headed as he did. I also wonder just how those thugs get away with wearing masks in public. I wonder how long they would last if they did that here.......................... :confused:  :confused: 

That guy with that bat looking thing got way to close. Had that happened here to me I would have upholstered and been reading to sling hot lead down range starting with the closest and going from there to any that were still coming towards me and not running away. He had Video evidence that his life was in fact in being threatened and he gave more than adequate warning that he would shoot them..............jmho.
