I think it might be more than just a  fiber optic service line issue but that is my opinion. I can see a fiber optic line messing with certain phone companies for a short repair time period but I think to date Sprint users are the only ones saying they have not had any issues YET!!!! Not paranoid but just wondering just how many phone services are being effected. I stopped having issues yesterday about mid day.  

i had to laugh at Steelharp today. Stopped by the shop today to see a gun they had in the shop and I asked him what he thought about this post and he said he was not ware of it so popped on the puter there and realized it was 6 pages and he said Holy Cow I gotta read this when I get home...... :rock:

I have never underestimated the capabilities of a 22lr and that was the reason I got that one from Jonathan last weekend. I didn't own a long 22lr at the time..........Glad you got a good one and it worked out for you.............. :up:  :up: 

Yes it did , He's gone like we all knew he would be when one of the hammers showed up................. :up: :up:

You didn't miss it. you can read it still.................... :rofl: :rofl:

Me. Going and burn some powder tomorrow with a buddy. Picked up that new to me Black rifle from Jonathan and need to burn up some of the 22lr I got from Dave and Samantha and also going to try a new round in my LCP. Picked up some Hydro-Shok low recoil rounds and want to see how the will work in LCP pocket pistol. It's a handful with Fiocchi's in it.  Need to see if it will feed the HP's

I wonder if anyone was to ever give thought to all the laws that have been written and enacted upon us as Americans since 1776 up until Last night at midnight just how many laws there is? I have often also wondered how many people are able to obey every law on the books everyday without fail. I often wonder what is the one most ultimate stupid law ever written and by whom that is still on the books? I have become a fan of watching  the history channel that has actual police shows taking place live and I listen to what the bad guys are arrested for and what the laws are that they have broken to be arrested for. So far I have learned that there are about 167 different type of laws a person can be charged with for murder. And the really funny part is the little charges they toss in for good measures. The guy has murdered 3 people and  when you hear the lineup of charges they might begin with 3 counts of Simple Assault. Then they will add 3 counts of  aggravated assault to be followed up by 3 counts of extra aggravated assault. 3 counts of illegal possession of a fire arm by a felon. Evading arrest, resisting arrest and then they finally get around to 3 counts Especially Aggravated 1st Degree Murder. When did murder of when has murder not been aggravated. I mean when your killing someone I would guess your aggravated of you might not be killing them. You can't even get a simple speeding ticket any more. Now they have a check list of charges the officer has a choice to go through from A-Z.  It's not just 65 in a 55 Mph zone anymore. It is 65 in 55 zone, excessive speed, reckless driving and if you don't pull over in the first 25 feet of the pursuit you might be charged with attempted to evade arrest police. I have heard laws and charges used that I promise you no one could find in any law book any where if a person began looking at age 10 and died at 90 would never find those laws on paper in a law book. I have often wondered how may laws I break from the time I wake up till I make my first trip to the coffee pot in my kitchen and pour my first cup and take first sip?..................jmho

If I bought a new Bersa and it failed to perform out of the box I would be a lot happier than if it worked out on the box at the range and failed when I needed it to work. At least you knew it was not working and could send it in for repairs before you had to depend on it...............jmho

Yamamoto was the Admiral that answer the question of why they didn't attack the USA mainland and his comment was because we would lose. There is a gun behind every blade of grass in that country!!!

It's probably already on face book so would not worry about it parrot.............jmho

  "Many of us do that already, though".  Yep we do all that and probably more and not on an open book like FB or Tweeter where everyone from the far reaches of the universe knows every time someone farts...............jmho

I will add this and then be done. I think that when or if the time ever comes much like the rancher issue out west ever arises around here I would be willing to bet it will pretty much turn out the be a meeting of a bunch of TGO members going to help out a new friend and show what ever support is needed to take care of the issue. I just hope the farmer or rancher we should go to help is smarter than that rancher was......If anything does happen looking forward to meeting a bunch of TGO'ers I have not met yet. Just look for the Red Jeep Chreokee with white letters on the windows. That be me..................jmho   p.s. I  Don't do face book either

Well considering the addiction so many people have to their cell phones, tablets, androids, laptops and all the other little electronic toys out there not it's like telling a Heroin addict your out of his fixes and he instantly goes in to DT's and with drawls. I guess I am to old fashion. I own an old desk top computer to be here with ya'll and an old flip cell phone that makes and receives calls and has voice mail, no pictures no internet or other frills and thrills because if I break down on the road I can't call for help with a home phone which by the way I don't have. I can actually see folks asking you to do that before their with drawls begin.................. :up:  :up:  

Yea , it's funny how things you do can turn around and bite you in the a$$ huh. China supplied NV with arms and war machines and even men on the ground to defeat the Americans and they did. Thing is NV still has all of those weapons and gave China a lot more than they were prepared to deal within the late 70's. We did the same thing in Afghanistan back in the 70's when were supplied the Afgan's with war machines and arms and even sent men over there to train them on the weapons and they ended up kicking Russia's butt with them. Osama Bin Laden was one of the Afgan rebels best sttudents that we trained on how to kick Russia's butt and he sent his thank you for our help twice. Once when he ordered the bombing in the basement of the World trade center in 1992 and the second thank you came in the form of Airplanes being hijacked and flown into the Twin towers, Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvanian on (/11/2001. That is what happens when you help people that hate your guts and you know it and are still stupid enough to do it anyway.............jmho 

I have shot factory reloads out of all my Bersa 380s with good success so my guess was a flaw in the workmanship whch will happen with any gum makers from the most expensive to the cheapest one made............jmho

your probably right about that too..............jmho

I would not hold my breath waiting on them to show up any time soon to get your guns mike. I'm sure they have much bigger fish to fry than guys like us......Besides that it is an election year so they don't want to rock any boats right now...........jmho

32 ammo is becoming harder to come by and i think that is because many modern gun manufacturers have discontinued making that caliper but that is ...................JMHO

thanks. that explains a lot for me. I was having issues this morning with my broadband staying connected and I guess they were still working on it cause seems to be better now but have not tried my phone yet.......Thanks for the update

I understand your position on this and do not disagree with you at all. It is and has been a tough road that we as gun owners face and it will not get any easier any time soon as long as you have crazy people running around killing people with regularity and nothing is being done to prevent it and that goes for both sides. In the issue in California there was a lot of warning that this was going to happen. He didn't hide his feelings and gave plenty of warning signs of his plans and no one did anything. Not thr Anti gun people or the Pro gun people. His family knew he had issues, his classmates knew he had issues and even his  psychologist had warnings in emails that he had issues and not one person did anything to stop it from happening. The said scenario played out in the theater shoot in Colorado. People were warned he had issues. He didn't keep them a secret. He even sent his psychiatrist emails telling her about his thoughts and she did nothing. Oh wait she said she didn't read them till after he did the shooting and found them later on her computer. failure for her to do her job and check her emails everyday could possibly have prevented the shooting as I think she had the emails on her computer 3 days prior to it all. Until people begin to put more attention to the many warning signs these people are showing and saying   and tehn acting on them  instead of taking the (I don't want to get involved option)  these shootings will continue.  I hate to admit this but Parents are the worst at preventing these situations by living in denial that their child has a problem. They are ashamed of what people may think rather than do what is right and get their child help. I have a grandson that was born with ADHD and in the early years he was a hand full to deal with. we didn't know his Father also had it as he kept it hid until after my daughter and he got married and it came out after he quit taking his medications and became violent at times and beat my daughter when she was with child. I went to Kentucky on Easter Sunday 1988 with my new wife to get her daughter from this man before he killed her. At gun point I sat him on his couch while my step daughter and her mother packed up all of her belongings and put them in my van. Before we left I made it very clear to him that is I ever saw him in Tennessee I would kill him. The next day I contacted the Bowling Green Police department and informed them of what I did and that they may want to keep an eye on him because he was a violent  person and suffered from the disease and would not take his medications. He had a couple run ins with police after we had taken my daughter away from him. Shortly after Matthew was born his father contacted my wife and asked if he could come and see his son. She told him he would have to ask me. I asked him if he was taking his medication and his reply was sometimes so my reply was no. A week later his landlord and police found him hung in his apartment in an apparent suicide. I helped my daughter get Matthew all the help that was available fr him while he was growing up. There was times we wanted to pull our hair out dealing with him and other times couldn't ask for a better kid. As he grew older and was more in control of his life he was more able to take care of himself and when he graduated from high School I paid for his college education in a Tech college and he learned computer technology and has been with Dell since he graduate top 5 in his class. We could have just given up on him like many parents do but I would not allow it. To this day Matthew goes1 time a month for a shot that helps him with his problem and many times a month he calls me if something is bothering him and we talk it out. I won't ever give up on him. But  takes family members recognizing a child's problem and addressing it and not trying to hide it. There is no stigma with admitting there is a problem. There is a stigma when it is ignored to the point we have a shooter and then the stigma seems to also be the gun and not the real reason it happened which in most cases the parents refusing to admit they had a problem child and addressing it..................JMHO

Buy cheap ammo and you get cheap ammo and then folks blame to gun. Any brass ammo is better than reloads and steel. I see you live in Wilson County. If you would like to meet at one of the ranges here in Gallatin I will let you have enough 380 ammo to run through your CC and I will shoot some with you. Been needing some range time anyway. .................... :up: :up:

I have been having issues with my cell phone service for last couple days along with my broadband internet service since it is with my phone service. I thought it was just a problem with my company but my neighbors have Verizon and Sprint and they are also have phone issues. Is anyone here having issues with problems getting service when you try and make calls of once the call begins it just cuts off the call. They are having same issues with their phone services......Just wondering if anyone else has noticed any issues?

The only way to know if it is fixed is go put some rounds down range with it. I have about 3 friends that have that exact gun and they shoot regularly with zero issues and love them................jmho

I make soft plastic fishing baits for folks and I ship them through post office in priority mail. There has been a few times I forgot to disarm and put my gun in console before going inside with the packages but because I never open carry the people behind the counter that waited on me never knew it. They all knew me on a first name basis when I walked in the doors and two of them knew me from the range and know that I do carry. There is not a sign of any kind up in my post office. Not outside , not inside the glass in the entrance or on any walls inside. I have never understood the idea of posting signs inside. By the time you see them you have already broken the law. I think if they don't want you to break the law they would put them on entrance doors. Remember folks we are dealing with the Federal Government here and who knows what new laws hit the books last night while Obama was having a midnight snack and whipped out that evil pen to make our lives even worse..............jmho

When you lose a child for any reason people around you are in control of you and during a time of severe grief you will say just about anything anyone asks or tells you to say and you will say them even when in most cases they are not you actual feelings on an issue. The Press and Funeral directors are trained in the same school of depending on your grief to get what they want out of you and they play you like a bass drum to their tune. It is when people on our side strike back at that moment that is makes us look worse and we go down to or below their level. When a person who just lost their child says anything you take it with a grain of salt and say your sorry for their loss and walk away. You don't  say "YOUR CHILD'S DEATH DOES NOT TRUMP MY  CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!!!!". That just shows Joes own ignorance and that is what the anti gunners will use. They will say that this is nothing more than another heartless person that owns guns, what more can you expect? That is another strike against our own goals when you play into  theirs. I heard an Admiral give a speech while I was in the Navy. During the speech he made the statement I will never forget even though I cannot remember what the rest of the speech was about : He said   "There are times to speak out and show your intelligence and their are times to keep you mouth shut and not show your ignorance, but the tricky part is knowing when the right time is." I heard those words almost 45 Years ago and I remember them like they were yesterday................................jmho
