  :panic:      I am not sure where to put this because it is both political and gun related?  If I put it in the wrong place please excuse my ignorance and move it where it belongs please. I looked at putting it in the hive but that says non firearm related topics and this one is firearm related I think..... :shrug:     http://news.yahoo.com/hillary-takes-nra-161500267--politics.html

My first dogs name was Pal also and I was about 7 years old but he was a Springer Spaniel that someone drove out of Chicago and just drooped off on the country road we lived on and he came to our house all fun of cukaburs and his hair was all matted in them. Took me better part of the day to get the all out with out cutting his beautiful hair. Actually I became like a magnet to all the strays folks from the city dumped. About ever couple months my Dad and I would take them to the Animal Shelter in Chicago to get them adopted out to good homes. He told me to not get attached to any of them which is not easy for a kid to do with a dog. Pal never went and I had another very unusual terrier type dog that I got to keep but the rest went. The unusual dog was definitely a Terrier of some type and about the size of a cocker but had short hair that fit tight against his skin, ears that stood up like a Dobermans and he could be flat pawed and jump vertically into my Dads arms. He was a very Brittle colored dog with a rust brown, black and a few white spots but not many and he would follow me on my bike all day never getting out of Site. He was very smart and so was Pal but Pal was kinda laid back and Bearcat, Yea I know, strange name for a dog but was a strange dog was always very hyper. My first trip to the Humane Society was an adventure. I could not believe all the different type of animals they had. All kinds of talking birds, Cats, Dogs, Ferrets, Geese, Ducks and the biggest surprise was an alligator that was about 6 feet long that when they got it it was about 3 feet long. This shelter never put any animals down but kept them till they either got adopted or died of natural causes. The Brookfield Zoo ended up taking the gator finally. Oh yea they took the Python too that was about 10 feet long.......... :up: :up:

Wish you luck on this cause I know it has to be very aggravating for you and for who ever they call. You you do by any chase get a meeting with one of their representatives make sure you make it a memorable one for them before you call the Leos to cart off whats left....... :up:  :up: 

Well, considering that when it comes to authority in the law enforcement the Sheriff of any county is the highest ranking LEO. If something bad takes place in his county and TBI and State Troopers are called in the Sheriff is still in charge and can designate authority but they are the boss for some reason gives some of the I'M ABOVE THE LAW attitude. Sure glad when Kasey had her one and only batch of puppy's I gave thought about taking the to Sumner County Humane Society but instead posted them on fishing sites and gun sites I am a member of and had great homes for all 4 of her puppies in two days and folks send me pictures often of them........... :up:  :up:    

Yea, just remember last time I heard of anyone going shooting with a politician was Cheney and he shot the guy with him....... :popcorn:

So I'm guess that yes is to all of the above huh?......Not going to pick or poke at you for this because i know many people that are scare to death of them and rightfully so. Even though very very few people get bit by venomous snakes and even fewer that do die I  think almost every one in the back of their minds remembers that it was a snake that made the land of Eden go bye bye by talking Eve into eating from the tree and the Eve convinced Adam and we all know the rest of the story. With that said I respect snakes that are venomous with a bullet of two and the non venomous ones I do cut some slack because for the most part to do things that help man such and kill Rodents and also keep us in our running mode if startled by one which keeps you in practice for the dangerous ones. I use to know a man that was so afraid of them that a friend of his is dead, killed by him over a joke of throwing a rubber snake in his lap and he shot him dead on the spot before he even took time to see it was a fake one. The Judge and Jury found him innocent of all charges because everyone knew about his fear of snakes. He never forgave himself for killing his friend and he passed away about 10 years later. So I know the fear folks can have about them.

Are you saying that you just don't like snakes or have a lot of respect for them and they might make you hurt your self giving them room....................... :rofl: :rofl:

nothing wrong with the old fashion way of settling things. did it a lot back as kids. Thing today is most kids up that way are packing heat and shoot first and then run like hell.  Truth be known we packed heat to back then but never used it. Didn't have to because if folks knew you had one they didn't mess with you much and even then more was settled with fists the bullets and everyone went home alive and just feelings bruised win or lose.

If your talking about Casali I would be willing to bet you I can pronounce it because I went to high school in west Chicago till age 16 and had three brothers in school with same name as yours and we hung around together. Most of upper west side of Chicago use to be all  Italian and man could you get some great pizza pies up there. Folks down here that have never been up north and had true Pizza's are not even aware that Pizza's are really baked in pans and are not flat like most places are. They were call "au pizza pies" in true Italian restaurants............. :cheers: :cheers:    If anyone ever gets up to Chicago and lives through it make sure you go to the Home Run Pizza Parlor located on the back side of Wrigley Field. Been in business since 1934 and same family still, just s few generations later I promise you it will be a meal you will remember for years to come.

Well, Love potato salad also and it also requires mayo but I also do add Mustard to it. I grew up eating the Mustard style because my father was of German descent and my mother always catered to his food likes when ever possible. I can eat either but when you take the Mustard out it does make it a little bland ad that is when the salt and pepper comes into action..... Just my :2cents: 

I was thinking maybe a Spreading Adder................... :whistle:

Maybe it would be nice if you shared G G Grandfathers recipe with us and we won't need Mayo............. :drool: :drool:

I quite going to them back in 09. Can buy products at LGS for same price and in many cases less and not have to pay to get in them and wade through all the junk tables to find something you might be interested in buying..............jmho

Ya just have to feel sorry for dumb reporters that will report on things they know nothing about and have to call someone and ask them for help which she didn't really get from the ATF guys because basically they knew what the show was about and they could not give her the answers she was hoping to get. They gave her honest answers that she didn't want and blew her story to hell and back................. :up: .....................jmho

Wow!!! Ya'll are not gonna believe this but look at these baby Robins that were eggs 17 days ago. I guess that is what Meal worms and Crickets can do. They take eggs and make Super babies out of them in 17 days.....If they leave the nest to soon and Momma and Daddy have to keep feeding them away from the nest they are going to be very busy parents......There are 4 babies in that nest so when crowding gets to great they will leave ready or not!!!! The ones did the same thing last year and the parents fed them for about another ten days before they quit coming back for more food.

Man those clear bullets always seem to hurt more the next morning than the night before so I avoid clear bullets all the time...........jmho

Yep and I am locked and loaded because there are whole lots of them living in our country these days.............jmho

Gosh where would we be without Mayo? (I do prefer Salad Dressing like Miracle Whip more) No Tuna salad, No Egg salad, No Deviled Eggs. That is unacceptable as I love all three things I mentioned............. :up: :up:

yea, I use to set out limb lines back years ago when I was growing up in Cheatham county on Grandfathers Ranch/Farm 2000 acres and the Harpeth River cut through it twice. Every time the family would want to have get together the main course for the meal was always catfish and I was always elected to fetch the fish...lol. I and a buddy would put the jon boat in at the Creech Bridge and float down to just above the Stringfellow bridge to a long slow moving 3 mile long hole of water and would begin hanging lines baited with pond perch up and down boat sides of that long hole of water and would have about 75 lines out and could always figure on 50 + cats on the lines. Seldom ever dropped below  that number but a few times went above 50. Sure was glad we was not elected to clean them. That was someone else's job since we was up all night getting them. We would begin hanging lines at about 6PM and then camp out on a Gravel bar with a camp fire, Run the lines at midnight and re bait. Put the fish in a toe sack( Burlap) and tie the end closed with a rope and put it in the river tied to a tree. You could lay on the gravel baar on a pad and hear those lines being attacked by the big cats and hear all the splashing. Then at day light we would run the lines and pick up the lies as we took the fish off. Never left lines hanging. Man those big ugly flatheads sure do like Pond Perch. Most folks don't know it but the flat heads maybe ugly but have the best meat mainly because they won't eat anything dead. You won't catch them on Liver and Shrimp. It it ain't swimming or crawling Flat heads won't eat it. Man I sure do miss those days. Life was much simpler and folks was all friendly to one another. Not like the Rat race of today. I know there are still folks living in the country that think and live like back then but they are a dying breed like the dinosaur and when that generation is gone so will be the old ways.

Well, I never bought ammo at K-Mart either just like I don't buy groceries at Walmart. If I want ammo I go to a sporting goods store or buy it on line from ammo business like Ammo to Go or AMMOMAN. If they are sold out I wait till they restock and will get my back order filled then..............jmho

I also grew up on Harpeth and swam and fished in the river and I can promise your buddy that that river is chock full of Cotton Mouths. back before the river was considered a Scenic River and it was not against the law to kill snakes me and my buddies would float sections of the river from Bridge to bridge in jon boats with 22 rifles shooting snakes that were hanging in the trees just above the water or out sunning on log jams. 22 Long rifles 50 round box 69 cents at the general Store down the road from the house. I guess over the two summers we did that we probably killed close to 1000 snakes. Since they have outlawed it I would guess the snakes have taken over the river. Have not been on it in over 10 years. Last time was when son and I went shoal fishing at night for catfish for family fish fry that coming up weekend.

That reminds me of a trip we took about 20 years ago before my wife passed away. Some friend of ours keep telling us we needed to go visit a place in Arkansas called Eureka Springs. Well, My wife, I and another couple packed some suitcases and away we went in search of this wonderful place we were told we had to see. About 14 hours later we found this little town of Eureka Springs. I have to admit I am thrilled that I went. Had the best time of our lives for a week and the biggest attraction in the town besides it was a town lost in time and was still in the 1800's culture for the most part there was the hummingbirds 1000's upon 1000's of Hummingbirds. In the square of town was a park and in the park were these great big trees with beautiful brilliantly colored leaves like I had never seen before and the trees were as big as a 200 year old Oak tree might be at the base. Thing is the trees were man made. There was an old man sitting on a bench and I asked him what kind of trees those where and he said Hummingbird Trees boy. I said I had never heard of them before and he was more than glad to give me a demonstration. He reached in his shirt pocket and pulled out a fire cracker, lit it and pitched it out on the side walk. When it went off I bet about 1 or 2 thousand Hummingbirds lit up the tree when they took flight and the colors were brilliant. About 5 minutes later they were all back on the trees. Then we began to notice the hundreds of Hummingbird feeders hanging every where you looked. There were actually care takers responsible for making sure all the feeders remained full of food not counting all the people that had them hanging around their homes. The Motel we stayed in just at the city limits of town had probably 50 feeders up on all the balconies. We spent a week there and went for a ride in a glass bottom boat on Table Rock Lake and attended Services on Sunday in a Church in the woods made of beautiful glass. I am sure glad I went to Eureka Springs as it will remain as one of my favorite places for ever.............jmho  

Well, I don't claim to be a great shot and I don't practice as much as I should but this is last trip to the range shooting a Bersa Thunder 380 semi auto at 15 yards and this is first two magazines point shoot, reload and empty second mag. Next two magazines were taking time and aiming. Don't see a lot of difference but I do think that is descent for the caliber of the gun at 15 yards but other folks may have different opinions. I have to agree with most everyone about the realistic range one should practice at is between 3 and 7 yards at most and like a few have mentioned there will be times that you may put powder burns on the perp cause it is that close.................jmho [URL=http://s218.photobucket.com/user/softbaitmaker/media/Expendable%20projectiles%20machines/PictureorVideo100_zps50828ed9.jpg.html][/URL]

:panic:    :eek: :eek:        Gosh, that is what all my bait customers call me is Master Baiter.......... :hiding: :hiding: I think the proper spelling your looking for is Masturbate r................ :panic:  

Wish he would go to Mc Donalds and the window person would slip and drop a large cup of their coffee in his lap? That is the only thing I can say about that is positive. They have got to have the hottest coffee of any restaurant I have ever been to...........jmho
