I actually had to quit reading them because my guts were hurting from laughter. I might go back and read more later............. :rock: :rock:

You have to wonder what is going through someones mind who can kill a person over a domestic issue and then kill themselves. They should stop and give thought as to how many people that they leave behind that will suffer because of such a stupid act. Just senseless to me how these people think or don't think and just do...............jmho

back in the small town I grew up in we had a guy named Willy. He lived about 5 miles from town and he would push a wheel barrel with a shovel, rake and hoe in it and would come to town each day to see if he could make some change to eat his meals. My mother was a short order cook in Harry's Cafe. Every morning Willy would come in for breakfast and there was one waitress that hated waiting on him and would get one of the others to do it. My mother would watch for him to come in because he would order the same thing every day. Harry always was a nice guy and when he was gone my mother was the boss. One day Willy came in and dug out all of his change and put it on the counter and the only waitress that could wait on him was the one that hated him and Harry was gone. My mother also hated this waitress and it was time to set her straight. My mother hear the waitress snap at will that he only had 37 cents and that would not buy pancakes and bacon so why don't you just leave!!!!! My mother went out of the kitchen and took that waitress by the arm ad lead her to the kitchen. She then produced a butcher knife and told that waitress that if she ever spoke to Willy that way again she would cut her F-----ing head off. My mother sent one of the other waitresses out to find Willy and bring him back because they had made a mistake and he did have enough money for his breakfast. When he came back in he put his change on the counter and my mother sent out a double stack of hotcakes and double bacon and told the waitress to keep his coffee cup filled. When Harry got back the waitress told him she had a problem with his cook and told him what happened. Harry didn't even go speak with my mother. He looked at the waitress and told her she was fired and to get out of the cafe. They learned that when Willy was a child he was beat in the head by his mother and father and gave him brain damage. We moved away to Tennessee but Harry promised my mother that Willy would be cared for and I guess he was.

I use to have an arsenal, then I had a stockpile, then I had a collection and then there was none when my home got burglarized back in 1987. As the police officer was trying to right the police report after the 7th gun and serial number he asked me how many guns they took and I said 28. Some of them were pretty much just plain old single shot shotguns of different ages but they also got some high end weapons. The officer finally asked me if I was a collector and I said yea. He said "oh okay, that explains why you had so many guns." I said what other reason would I have? Then we began on listing the ammo they took and finally after about 10 minutes of that he said, did you have ammo for every gun they took?"  I said "what good is a gun without ammo for it"? All of those guns were stolen from my home in 1987 and to this day not one of them has shown up in a pawn shop or a crime scene or anywhere else. 26 years gone and not one sign of where they went. I check once a month with that Sheriffs office about them and all I get is not anything yet!!  Today I own just enough in the way of guns to get me killed which I guess can be just 1 if they come knocking on my door to get it. I can promise when they do put me down all I own will be empty and guns will be smoking hot. I have no plans of starting any trouble  but f it ever comes knocking I have no intentions of going quietly into the night. If they want you they will get you by all means needed if they want you bad enough. They will just fly a drone over you house and you will be gone. Hope none of my neighbors are home because from what i have seen drones are not all that particular about collateral damage...............jmho

Working now and funny for sure. I found the page of customers reviews and posted that link.

  I do remember my Grandmother talking about how corrupt politics were back in the FDR years and that was how he got voted into a third term. I can see it taking place back with paper ballots. But what gets my goat on this is that you have people on network news actually talking about committing a crime of voting multiple times standing directly under a sign saying it is a crime and that bill board was right in front of that woman's house. Plus she actually worked at the polling center in which she did this and not one thing was mentioned after the interview. Not one word about charges or anything else. They acted just like it was an accepted act and nothing was wrong with her actions...........jmho 

I believe if I did some research or someone else did they would probably find it was a Bill Clinton idea since it was him that signed the orders that our military could not carry their side arms while on base in country. That is why the shooting at Fort Hood went on as long as it did and cost so many lives. I thank GOD he didn't disarm the MP's on the base also.  Yea I knew the F-16's were not armed that went up first but the second ones that were sent up 14 minutes later were armed coming from Langley to protect the White House. You can bet had those pilots encountered a target they would have made the ultimate sacrifice if necessary and flew the planes into the airliner. Hopefully with a plan to eject just prior to impact but then our pilots are very dedicated to our great country for sure. In the program last night they did say that the planes that were sent in first were unarmed because they were getting ready for a non hot ammo training exercise just before they got the call..

My question is why was the gun in a rental car to begin with? Also I would like to know the name of the car rental agency that does not check their cars out and clean them up before the next rental. Sounds like a pretty poor rental company. I bet you could leave a dead body in one of their cars trunk and not notice it till the smell got someones attention.  Very poor way of doing business and being blonde does not give her an excuse to leave the weapon in the car..............jmho

That is pretty much what happened to the Fishing Expo's that use to be great shows until they got to greedy and kept jacking the prices up on booth spaces and entry fees until the vendors were forced to sell their products at or above retail prices to make any money. Now you go to a fishing expo and you can buy everything from house gutters to Alaskan Vacations but not very much tackle or boats.................jmho

Well folks, this has been a very interesting debate and discussion for sure. I was glad to see so many express their opinions on this as it is a very important topic that needs discussions. I think I made most of my point in my first post but after reading some of the posts here I feel I will add a few things to my original thoughts. I watched a program on the Military Channel last evening titled "Chaos in the sky" and it was about the terrorists and when hi jacking of  commercial aircraft's began. It seems like it was actually back in late 70's when some Arab nationals took over 3 airliner's full of people at one time still on the ground and after getting all of their grievances explained to the press about issues going on it their country they released all the hostages from the planes and they remained on the planes and blew all 3 of them up destroying the aircraft's and themselves. As more and more terrorists hijackings began to transpire they began taking control of them in the air and making their demands to be flown to neutral countries to express their complaints. That escalated and then they began hijacking planes and blowing them up with all aboard or killing a selected group of people that were from countries they were against and releasing the rest. Then it slowed down to a new approach of just blowing up planes that were coming to America but they would not be on the plane. They would accept responsibility for it as some radical Muslim group. They did it by putting a bomb in a bag in the cargo area with a timing device and they would board the plane and get off at the first stop and the plane would blow up over the ocean an hour later with them not on it. I'm sure we all have read or heard about all of those. That went on for years and as security got tighter and any Muslim person leaving their country that purchased a one way ticket was watched closely and if they exited the plane on the first stop the entire plane was emptied and that persons baggage was removed from the plane along with everyone else's and would be checked for bombs. Soon they figured out that that idea had been figured out so they began going to one airline and checking their bag and the going to another airline to buy a ticket to the same country the bag was going to. Again that worked a few times. When it got to hard to just blow up airplanes things kind of stopped about 3 or 4 years and then came the ultimate use of commercial airplanes which was 9/11/2001 and we all remember that day. I learned a lot I didn't know by watching that program last night. I learned that they had scrambled Air Force jets from two different bases to go up and pursue the aircraft in question but had orders in the beginning to not fire on the aircraft and wait on further orders. Finally after the plane struck the Pentagon new orders were issued to fire on any aircraft presumed hijacked. They were ordered to kill people in the air to protect people on the ground. Of course they never needed to because the only plane still flying was United Flight 93 which crashed in the field. A couple very important things were learned that day. Once the transponders were turned off the planes could not be tracked so air traffic controllers could not direct the Fighter jets to the planes. That will not happen again. The only way to turn off the transponders now is destroy the aircraft because there is no way on the plane in which to turn it off. It turns off only after the aircraft landed and is at the gate and the entire plane is shut off. By doing that aircraft don't need to be scrambled to shoot a plane. They can get a missile lock on the transponder signal and fire a missile and down it. Now with that said. I go back and think about the original post title and I think about it again. I am still not against what the Soldiers did but filming it was uncalled for in so many ways. Also, as far as burning the bodies. Our enemies have done their fair share of that and not just in the war torn countries. How many people were burned ALIVE in the Twin Towers and Pentagon? I'm sorry for my feelings in some ways but not for the burning of the dead bodies. I am sorry that were are involved in such an ugly situation that has cost our great nation so many brave men and women in a war that should have ended swiftly with the technology we have at our disposal and won't use. Instead the blood of our fighting men and women is used. The radical Muslims of all the Jihad countries picked this fight and I cannot feel any pity for them. I just say we need to use the technology we have and bring our troops home....................jmho 

I have little faith in our election system any more. The last election in 2012 was more than enough proof that they are not just rigged but very very rigged. When you have people being interviewed about their voting actions and they will stand with a billboard sign directly behind them that read "Illegal voting is a Felony" and openly admit that they voted 6 times in the election and was almost bragging about it and they were not arrested or ever faced any type of challenge to it how can anyone believe that our election system will work? I will go and cast my vote come election time for what it is worth but I know that my 1 vote will be over ridden by that same person that will be voting 6 or maybe even 10 times for the other guy.................jmho

I doubt seriously that he would have ever got to the Seal base and even then would have never made it onto the base because they didn't mention anything about him having any type of clearance like the guy at the Naval Ship Yard did . I'm more curious as to how many if any Mosque's might have been located in the direction he was headed. Chances of blowing one of those up would have been a lot easier. I do hope that they find out what his impending target was and make it known but I bet they don't...................jmho

Ok, I'm kind of confused. I realize that we went into that war just as we have gone into the last few. With one arm tied behind our back with so many directives that we of course were out numbered by our own Government but!!!!!  Burning the bodies of dead enemy combatants????? I guess because the Marines didn't wash the bodies and wrap them in white robes before setting them on fire makes a difference?????  I have no clue as to when our Government became so self righteous. They don't mind sending our troops into Harms Way but before going to make all these deals with the enemy before we engage them on the battle fields. They were dead. The Marines did not burn them alive. Lets look back a few wars ago when our troops used flame throwers and sent flames into pillboxes and used them to advance our troops and we did burn thousands or enemy troops alive and it was considered a part of fighting the enemy and was done as often and necessary to advance the war against the enemy. We even had flame thrower tanks. Now it is against the rules of war to burn dead bodies?????? Maybe it would have been better had the Marines just left the bodies where they fell and let the buzzards pick their bones clean or let them lay there until they began to decay and spread some type of disease. If we could ever fight a war with both hands we might actually win one. As far as I'm concerned there does not need to be any investigation into which Marines did it and waste tax payer dollars to try and figure out how to punish our troops for just doing what they were sent to do and that is fight and maybe more of them will come home alive and not wounded. Our Government  does not mind sending our troops into battle with a bunch of rules of do's and do nots and then complain like hell when so many come home wounded and they have to pay to assist them in life and look for ways to get out of doing that also...................jmho

I like the article and back in my younger days I would have fit in with most of his comments. Now that i have some age on me I am not as incline to be that man as I use to be but still am to a point. Just don't spend as much time out doors. Could probably still saddle a horse but my body would hate me for a while after doing it and would probably put me in bed if I rode one any length of time but I use to dearly love it and when I was still in high school I worked on a real horse ranch all summer each year.........I kinda know where he is coming from but cannot go there any more.    I like the thoughts of Clint Smith at Thunder Ranch a lot better these days than this article but both good...................jmho

i shopped a long time and best bang for my buck is State Farm. They write my Jeep, boat and renters insurance and believe it or not my Boat rates and renters rate actually came down when they came due last month and they said my Jeep will be lower next round also because I have been with them 5 years with no claims and no tickets.

The reason for the time spent with the officer following was so he could run the mans license plates. Once he learned they were legal for that vehicle he ran the owner of the car through the data base and that is where he learned that the owner of that vehicle also had an HCP from his home state and that was when he pulled him over. Not when he ran his drivers license and registration. He knew before he ever turned on his lights to pull the gentleman over. I know this to be fact because I know several of my friends that have been pulled over in a similar manner and it turned out that the main reason for pulling them over was in fact to see if they were armed and more important to see and make sure they had their HCP with them. They all had them with them so the cop couldn't do anything except turn them loose. If they would have had their gun and failed to have their permit they most likely would have been arrested. If you ever get a LEO following you for an extended period of time they are most likely doing the same thing. I have also heard that from a few buddies that are LEO's. They said if the officer gets bored he will pick out a vehicle that he thinks might have an HCP or a gun in the vehicle they are running your tags if they follow you very long and if they get far enough they will learn you have an HCP from the plates on your vehicle. Not all officers do this but there are a few that do........................jmho

THIS IS A   KFC UPDATE !!!   Remember when Playboy magazine reportedly offered Sarah Palin $4,000,000 to pose nude in an upcoming issue?   Then Michelle Obama was offered $ 0. 50 by National Geographic?   And when KFC offered a "Hillary" meal, consisting of two small breasts and two large thighs?   Now KFC is offering the   "Obama Cabinet Bucket."   It consists of nothing but left wings and chicken sh-t.  

Prayers to the victims and their families and hope it all ends well for them. Glad they got the shooter but wish they would have got him before he was able to fire the gun.................jmho

I say no to this in so many ways I can't list them all. I think it is much better to let each state say who's carry permits they accept and deny. Keep the Feds out of state business.  I don't see it going very far at present since the only elected people backing the bill are all Republicans and Dirty Harry will never let it get to the floor for a vote.................................jmho

Budweiser and Busch got sold back several years ago to a German beer company and I have a friend that has worked in the St.Louis plant for almost 25 years and he said the German company did not change 1 thing about the beer or the marketing. It is the same as it has always been. I don't think the Japanese will change anything in the Kentucky Bourbon's either. They just want to be making the money it produces..............jmho

If I'm not mistaken I have heard on the news recently that Brazil is having some unrest issues. Something about the Government and elections which may also be slowing down the time it is taking. Not sure but could be an issue for them. I hope my Bersa's never get any issues even though they don't have a lifetime warranty I spoke with my gun smith and he said he has not had any issues getting Bersa parts when he needs them. Sorry your having the bad issues with Taurus. Hope it gets resolved soon and your gun comes back in 100% great shape..............jmho

yea, that is a funny thing too N_O because they said they guess the rover might last for only a few months at best and hoped it would send back as much information as possible and its been years and that little robotic critter is still running around up there sending all kind of information back. I don't know what company built that robot but they can be very proud of their work for sure.............jmho
