I'm really surprised it was able to make it on line where anyone could actually read and see it. Thats why there are not more good stories read about the good things LEO's do.....jmho

My friends and I attended Woodstock and none of us did drugs, A little Jack Black was about all But their was times we would have to move away from certain groups or you would get high just from the smoke. We had a lot of fun and didn't need to get high to do it. Not everyone back then did drugs to have fun.............jmho

Good for her, Glad she was not another victim and statistic and now another bad guy bites the dust.................. :up: :up:

Well it was a WOW back then for sure but then when you think about those times and these times back then, you would have never imagine what this country has become. That's one thing that makes me laugh every time I hear about Bonnaroo coming back to Manchester. Bonnaroo promoters have said it's a modern day Woodstock and I just laugh and say to myself. If they had been there they would never compare the two in the same paragraph...........jmho

Funny part is I saw him do that live at Woodstock. That was my last Concert me and a few buddies went to before shipping out. My Biggest thrill of the entire weekend was when Jimmie Hendricks joined Janis Joplin on stage and performed together for about 1/2 an hour. That made the whole trip worth while for me.

I am 67 years young and I am able to take total care my myself both my finances and every other aspect of my life. I will not allow the Feds to do anything through Social Security to take my firearms. I am writing all of my elected officials and demanding that they stop this maniac President from enforcing these stupid pen pushing bureaucratic policies to be passed. I do have arrangements in place should the day ever come that I feel I can no longer take care of my finances that will allow my family to assist me with them but they will never be made a legal guardian until I am on my death bed and then I won't care............jmho 

Sorry, I was not thinking about it being Saturday or would have mentioned it.............. :wall: :wall: 

Yellow Jackets are mean ass little critters and very protective of their nest. Glad you didn't get stung more and were able to do them in. I have only dealt with them a couple times in my life and got stung bad once and then second time I discovered them before hitting nest with mower. Can of Wasp spray for defense to get near the net and 1/2 gallon of gasoline down the whole at just about dark when i knew they would all be in the hive and cooked them. Did not see any the next day.

I have had my share of two wheels under me over the years but just out grew it I guess( actually got to old)  But over the years I owned a Hard tail, a Low rider, 1200 Sportster and finally got my hands on an ole 62 Electroglide which I really enjoyed but a guy that had more money then sense saw me riding it one day and he offered me about 5 times what I paid for it so let him own it. That was my end of two wheel rides....................... :up:

I think there should be a law passed telling liberals where they can live and the rest of the normal people can live and that way we will all be happier knowing just where all the liberals are. That way normal folks can enjoy life and the liberals can live how ever they please also. I know it won't happen but what happened to  Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?................... :shrug: :shrug:

Take it to Sam at Ashbrauners Pawn shop located just up the street from Sheriff's office and jail. He is a great gun smith and he can help you out and doesn't charge much..................jmho

Yep, that article sums it up pretty damn good....................... :up: :up: Thanks for posting it.

He did this in Connecticut of all places. One of the most gun regulated and restricted states in the country.......................... :stunned: :stunned:

ok, Just spoke with my friend up in Illinois that has the FFL3 license and I was wrong about the Federal License. He was advised by someone in the FFL Division back when he first received his license to get in touch with the Will County Sheriff and see about getting a swore Will County Sheriff's Deputy Commission that would authorize him to carry. He did so and the Sheriff did in fact issue it for him and swore him in as a Deputy Sheriff of Will County and because over the past 40 years there has only been 6 elections with 4 sheriff's getting re-elected. Every time a new Sheriff is elected they swear him in again.   I also think it does not hurt that about 90% of the Will County Sheriff's office and deputy's do business at his store and all get a Law Enforcement Discount and all get free range time. I guess it's not what you know but who you know in his case.   In 1980 he purchased the home next to his and had it torn down and added a new indoor shooting range which I was not aware till I just spoke with him along with he also has to professional gunsmiths on site during store hours. Last time I spoke with him he didn't mention any of the new stuff. Hope that explains why he can carry. He actually has a badge and ID he can hooked on his belt when ever he open carries which he only does while in his store most of the time..................... :up: :up:

Yep, bring a stick to a gun fight..................... :rofl:

He cannot arm the recruiters but he can arm the National Guard but refuses to do it because the state has to pay the bill to have National Guard activated and money means more than lives to the piece of Slim. Besides that why pay for something when your getting it in most areas for free???????....................jmho

I don't know that much about them but I will get in touch with my buddy and ask him about them. I think you must be an FFL dealer to get one but not sure but will find out all I can from him.................................. :up:

I think the Supreme Court decided that for the State Of Illinois so I really don't think you will have any issues but I would do what ever I felt comfortable doing...............jmho

A guy walked into a crowded bar, waving his 1911 Colt pistol and yelled,   "I have a .45 Colt with an eight shot magazine, and I want to know who's been screwing my wife?"    A voice from the back of the room called out...    "You'll need more ammo!"

I would be proud of him also and actually I am proud of him for his dedication to protecting our country. I will say a prayer for him each night that he returns home safely.......................... :usa: :usa:

back when I was in and sent to Nam I was issues an M16 and a 1911 Colt 45 that I carried in a shoulder holster because I wanted it high enough that if we had to enter any swamps or Rice patty fields I did not want it going under water. I was given the 45 and 5 extra magazines for it. It came in handy several times during fire fights that lasted any length of time at all................ :up:

It's a shame when our Troops must hide behind sand bags in our Recruiting Stations in our own Country rather than be able to defend themselves by being armed. I admit sand bags was a good idea and yes it will save lives but even at that a soldier must unlock the front door to let someone in while unarmed. I sincerely hope our Congress acts soon and arms our troops while on American soil. After all, we are at war and the war has come to America..................jmho

I have a close life long friend that still lives up there and many years ago as we were growing up hunting and fishing as kids he said one day he would like to own a gun shop. When he came back from Nam in 73 that is exactly what he did. He bought a house for him and his new bride(childhood sweetheart) and built a building on his land beside his house big enough to meet Federal qualifications to be a Gun Shop and shortly before completing his building he received his FFL3 Firearms License. Since than he has had his gun shop and grand opening was in 1976 and he said he has been open since them but it has been HELL for him. The Illinois State Government has tried several times to close him down and failed because he meets and exceeds all Federal regulations and the Feds just tell the Illinois Government to take a hike as he complies with all of their requirements to remain in business. When the State would not even issue him a carry permit with an FFL3 license the feds issued him a Federal Carry Permit since he was a Veteran and wanted to be able to protect himself in his business. They even tried to arrest him for being armed outside his shop and the Feds stepped in and told Illinois to butt out. Since the SCOTUS handed down their rulings about Illinois Laws they have quit harassing him completely.

I have heard the story 3 times on channel 5 local news and not once did they say the pastor shot back and they say his wife was assaulted. In the very first news report it said that the pastor did shoot back and nothing about it since so I wonder now if he did or didn't shoot back. I sincerely hope he did and actually did hit the suspect but my guess is he did and the news wants to cover up the fact because the Pastors shooting back probably save their lives and news never wants to admit a good guys gun may have prevented a murder.......................jmho

I thought it strange also when I learned the age of this last shooter. But then I guess anyone can be crazy at any age.  I have quit trying to figure out all the craziness going on in this world today. I just know and agree with a couple other folks here that have said, unless I have to pass through a metal detector I'm gonna be armed. If I would have been in that theater when that last guy began his shooting rampage there would have been two guns in that theater. His and Mine and Mine would have been returning hot lead back in his direction. I'm sure he would have been as easy target since everyone around him would have been on the floor and he would be the only one standing.  Everyday I become more and more of a Sheep Dog and less and less a Sheep. I have not been to a movie theater in years and have no plans about going any time soon but even back years ago when I would go with a few family members or friends I always sat in an isle seat and never in the middle of the crowd................jmho
