Like HP I voted for two reasons. First one was I grew up in a rural area and was raise hunting and fishing for the table to provide food. As I aged and and still hunted and fished I found it becoming more and more important for not only providing food but also protecting my family as the world was changing and with that I had to change also. Now I don't hunt and fish occasionally for the table which has many less mouths to feed My goal now is to protect my mutt and our lives and our food..............jmho

Christmas trees, holiday trees, and a CBS reporter's observation.
bersaguy replied to Steelharp's topic in General Chat
I didn't really care until it became a political point of view and that is when I took it kind of personal. I heard many folks say Happy Holidays as I was growing up and my replied back to them was a Merry Christmas to you also. Only when it went from a nice greeting which ever way it was said to a politically correct one that almost eliminated folks from saying Merry Christmas for fear of being considered a bigot was when I made my stand on the issue..........jmho -
Christmas trees, holiday trees, and a CBS reporter's observation.

Well, when I grew up as a child it was a Christmas Tree that we decorated every year and everyone said Merry Christmas. That was also the way my parents grew up. That is the way my children were raised and that is the way they have raised theirs. It seems that because a (very small minority of people) decided one day that it offended them so they pitch a fit and wal-la Political Correctness is born. Very shortly everything in our lives must be politically correct or we are some kind of bigot. so for about 5% of the 300 million Americans 240 million Americans (give or take a few million) must change or alter their beliefs so they won't be called a bigot. Well, I guess I am a bigot because they are Christmas trees and I do say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year when ever I decide to and I don't do it to be mean or vindictive. I do it because that is the way I was raised......................jmho Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Ya'll -
Christmas trees, holiday trees, and a CBS reporter's observation.

As far as the Christmas Trees go I had a long standing falling out with the manager at the local Lowes store here about 6 years ago about their sign that said in big bold letters "HOLIDAY TREES FOR SALE" I walked into the store and a clerk ask me if he could help me and I told him I was looking for a Christmas Tree. He said real of artificial and I said real. He took me out side and pointed to the trees called Holiday Trees. I told him I didn't want a Holiday Tree, I wanted a Christmas Tree. He knew quite quickly he was in over his head so he requested a manager come and assist him. I went through the same thing with the management and he finally told me the only Christmas Trees they have are fake and walked away with his clerk in tow. On New Years Eve I was back and there was no Holiday Trees to be found and I asked the a clerk to speak to the management. Dang if it was not the same guy. I asked him were all the Holiday Trees were at since after all New Years day was a Holiday and I wanted Holiday Tree. He just looked at me and said they were sold out and walked away. He saw me again on Easter and Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day. Finally he asked me just what my problem is and I said political correctness is my problem and companies that kiss Politically Corrects ass. He ask me for my name if I had an email and I gave him both. Somewhere on one of my old computers I have their letter stored and it is such a great email letter I am hoping to find it so I can post it. In the end I won the battle of the Christmas Trees in the Gallatin store that i know of. When the real trees went up for sale at the store the sign read. "CHRISTMAS TREES ON SALE." That year Lowes actually did sell out of live trees for the first time in about 5 years. None were thrown out. Walmart followed the next year here and employees in both stores began wishing people Merry Christmas again. Just a small victory but a victory none the less................jmho -

New Orleans considers removing all Confederate monuments
bersaguy replied to Djay3's topic in General Chat
I'm guessing that they are all in a "Rush" to get these things done while that guy is still in the Oval Office because once he is replaced by a tough ass Republican their jolly parties will be over. It may also be a sign they are not planning on the Hildebeast getting the White House...............jmho -
I have only owned 1 brand new vehicle and I bought it in 1990. A 1990 GMC 1500 series Sierra. It had a 4.3 liter V-6 throttle body and got 28 MPG. It had all basic stuff including crank up and down windows. I paid $8,000.00 cash with trading in my 1985 Ford F150. I was into bass fishing and traveled a lot to Bass tournaments all over the south east and towed a Bass Boat with this truck. I had a towing package added to the transmission when I first purchased it. I ended up putting 320+ thousand miles on it and kept it well maintained. When I decided to quit fishing traveling fishing trails and began fishing just local stuff I bought a 1997 Jeep Cherokee with a blown engine. A buddy of mine had totaled a 1998 Jeep with a 4.0 in it and he gave it to me if I would get it out of his fathers yard. I had my son move the 1998 motor into my 97 and still driving it today. I put my GMC out in front yard with $2,000.00 price in window. I didn't want folks just stopping in asking the price. I put it in the yard at 9AM and the new owner drove it home at 11:30 AM. He came to my house and ask if we could test drive. He drove it, handed me 20 100.00 dollar bills and drove off with it. I saw him and the truck about 6 months later and he had completely restored the entire truck and it looked brand new. He said he had a total investment of $5,700.00 invested. He was thrilled with it................. :up: I will drive this jeep as long as I live. My son keeps it maintained so it is very dependable......... :up:

Just thought I would run this past you Sam. If your Z85 has towing issues there is something you can do to help that and it won't break the bank. A good Transmission Man if you can find an honest one can install a towing package kit in your transmission that will assist the motor and enable your truck to accept up to about 4000 lb towing package. There are kits out there just for this. Does not effect fuel mileage either.....................just my :2cents:

Back in 1986 on a beautiful Spring My son had an automobile accident that took less than a second to happen but my insurance company paid 3.1 million dollars over 4 years in medical and I still lost him. I don't think any one can count on when they can or will get sick but with that said every day is a challenge we all face. Every one will get screwed in one way or another by ACA if you are forced to purchase it. Your premiums may be low but the deductibles is what will destroy most people. How many people can just pull 3 or 4 grand out of the bank to pay a doctor or hospital before insurance begins to pay anything and how many times can a person do it if another family should fall sick in same time period?...................................................jmho

I got 1 mag with my Bersa Thunder but was able to purchase 3 more at cost from a FFL buddy. Now I would just be tickled totally Pink if I could find just 1 more for my Bersa Model 85 and I would be totally set. I wish they would at least supply 2 back ups with 1 in the gun at time of purchase of any new gun.............jmho.

Got this in email today about the democratic plans
bersaguy replied to Randall53's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Quote "This is getting out of control now." Yes it is but only because he is running out of time and getting desperate to get something passed or get around the 2nd Amendment before he is out of office. That is also why it is so very important that his office is not filled with the Hildebeast next election or she will walk in his foot steps..............jmho -

bersaguy replied to Randall53's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
In all honesty I think Obama knows exactly what he is doing. The politicians and news Medias that say Obama doesn't have a clue what he is doing I think are all wrong. He does know what he is doing and he is doing exactly what he wants to do and that is to weaken America in every way possible and it is working to a point. The only thing he has not been able to do is disarm the American people and that is what is preventing him from making his entire plan work. "An American with a gun behind every blade of Grass" was what prevented an invasion of the Japanese right after Pearl Harbor and that was back in 1941. That was a quote from an Imperial Japanese Admiral aboard a Japanese aircraft that was steaming back to Japan from Pearl harbor when he was asked why they did not attack the American homeland. I would be afraid to try and count all the guns behind blades of grass in this country now but you can bet it's a lot more than back in 1941..................jmho -

Put up a "buster" sign of sorts, on my storm door.
bersaguy replied to K191145's topic in General Chat
I find they work quite well also. I have about 10 of them on different walls and doors around my place. When folks that have not been here before ask me about them I tell that that as my aim improves I replace old ones with new ones. They just get this blank kind of stare and change subjects. A few of my friends will warn someone that has never been to my house that I have strange ideas when it comes to decor so just try to ignore it............ :rofl: :rofl: -

I love were I live. My home cannot be seen from the street so they don't even know I am back here. I do have one of these on my door which seems to even bother a few people that stop in with buddies of mine that don't know me personally.

Heads up about the owner of Shooter's Depot in Chattanooga
bersaguy replied to Junkstack's topic in General Chat
Several years back while I was still working at a Gulf Station there was a guy came in to peddle a few firearms to be able to purchase gas to continue his trip from Memphis to Chicago. My boss asked him what he had and when the guy opened his trunk I am guessing there was at least 100+ hand guns of all makes and models. I looked at my boss and he said there was nothing in there he could use and I said that also but I added that I had a few buddies that had mentioned they were looking to buy a few hand guns. I told him if he could come back in a hour they would be here. I cannot believe the guy was stupid enough to come back but he did. There was some sweet guns but we both knew better than to buy any. I got the plate number of the Lincoln Town car he was driving and relayed it to a couple friends of mine on Metro Vice. They had been looking for this guy for almost a month. He was not going to Chicago. He was peddling his wears right here in Nashville. George McNeal and Dale Street showed up and were there when the guy came back. He opened the trunk and was cuffed almost before it go open all the way. I spoke with Dale about a week later and every gun this guy was selling was stolen in Memphis, Mississippi, or Arkansas. There is not any doubt in my mind that there are probably 1000's more guys just like him out there selling stolen guns and that is where most of the bad guys get their guns, not gun show parking lots................jmho -
When are the Dumbo's on the left going to realize that every time they present a bill to curb gun violence that more and more people go out and buy more guns. Last week after the terrorist attack they said over 185,000 people made application to purchase a gun in California alone. The shocking part about that was a large percentage of them were people in their 60's and 70's that until then had never owned a firearm. I guess the American people have finally learned it's better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it...........jmho
