In all honesty I'm surprised he is still alive. I cannot believe he has not had some freak accident by now........jmho

My son in law wanted to start my daughter shooting and he thought a wheel gun would be best for her so went to the range and met me there. They rented a couple different  wheel guns in 38 and 32 and she didn't like either one so while son-in-law was gone up front to get something else I let her shoot 2 mags from my 380 Bersa Thunder. When son in law  came back into range my daughter looked at him and said I want one of these and she showed him my Bersa. They left the range that day with a  Bersa 380 Thunder in the duo tone model and a holster for it and box of ammo. She is attending a class now and I hope with in a month she will be able to qualify and get a carry permit. Wheel guns do have their place in the gun world for sure but they are not for everyone. I know guys right now that would never own a semi-auto and will only carry a wheel gun.......

Back where I use to live we had a neighbor that was total anti gun. I got dirty looks from him every time I wore one of my guns out in my yard. Then one night while they were gone away for a weekend there was a break in at their house. At the time a buddy and I were room mating in his 4 bedroom house he bought just before his wife left him for some guy she worked with leaving him with the house and all expenses so he invited me to move in and all I had to pay utilities and some of the food and he get the rest. Well anyway my dogs where raising as hell about 1 AM so my room mate and I got our guns and went out to see what the fuss was about and there was a van backed up beside the guys house and 3 guys where loaded it. My roomie called 911 on his cell and we made sure there was only the three and we had all of them sitting on their hands waiting for County to get there. When the neighbors got back home they had a note left by the Sheriffs Patrol telling them they could come to the office and claim the possessions in the van that was towed in because they were not sure if they had hit any other houses before that one. 3 good old Kentucky boys down from Russell-ville Ky. The sheriffs deputy made sure he knew that it was his neighbors that captured them and held them till they arrived. The guy did have the decency to come over and thank us and we talked about guns some. He said he was raised in a house of guns and all his brothers and father hunted but he just never felt comfortable around them. I told him that if he didn't feel comfortable around them he didn't need to have one. About a year later after he had decided to take a class , well a couple classes he purchased a gun and we ended up going to the range a few times before I moved here. That was 15 years ago now. I did learn from him that as we spoke that he knew a lot of folks that talked against guns but also owned guns and he said that they are two faced and since he had gotten his he was Pro gun but not to a point that he would go out and brag about it. To each his own on that too as far as I'm concerned. At least he didn't talk against them any more.

+1 here too!!! :up: :up:

A buddy of mine had a doggie digging issue and he went and talked with people at Petco. They told him to buy which ever citrus fruit they like to eat or use and place the peelings in the holes the dog dug. and just put s thin layer of dirt over them. They told him that 99% of all dogs don't like the Citrus acids smells that the peelings put off. They went and got some oranges, grapefruits and tangerines and his wife peeled them and she made a fruit salad for them and he put the peelings in the holes and just put a dusting of dirt on top and the dog try to dig in one and quit and went to another and sniffed and after doing that twice his problem was over so they would by Citrus fruits often and place them on the old digs and never had any more holes.........Hope this helps...... :wave: :popcorn: :popcorn:

York Peppermint Patties is my weakness for sure............. :popcorn: :popcorn:

Well I can agree with everything you said GranTorino 6.8 and Kidd. All good points but then we all knew they would back pay all the blood suckers on the taxpayer payroll so that was a gimme. I read and article today that was talking about the White House staff that si taking care of the Obama family during the shutdown. The servants working at present is 15 that takes care of the resident apartment they first family lives in. That is down from the 90 that normally staffs it. Who in the Hell needs 90 servants to wait on any apartment?  I realize that Michelle does have 10 hair dressers  and he hair still looks like a birds nest regardless and I am sure that each kids must have at least 10 of their own. Let us not forget the dog trainers and care takers for the two dogs. Thing is I don't mind paying the dog care half as much as I hate paying to take care of Barrack and Michelle. I like dogs even ugly ones like they have.............jmho

Ninja's are most certainly quieter. That is a gimme. But they are also limited as to weapons. The weapons have limited distance but are effective in many cases. Now as for the Seals. Their ability with any weapon including the weapons of the Ninja are all part of their training. They are also trained in all forms of marshal arts so just being a little quieter may have a slight edge that is not always all that is needed. Ninja's bring knives to gun fights which has proven over history to not be a winning decision to often. And the Trinkets they throw won't penetrate today's body armor. So I guess being quiet is good but I would rather have a Seal protecting me than a Ninja but that is.........jmho

  Ok now it makes sense .........thanks shoot

Ok, I guess I am brain dead on this. The headline to this thread Democrats to vote to over ride Shut down. Was it not Reid and Obama's plan to shut the Government down all along? What did I miss............... :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh:

That day will never come.  They are all declared security Classified which is a good think with all of the screen door leaks we have in Washington that would endanger the Seals more than they already are.......jmho

I buy 1 pound bags of Jacks Links Jerky at Sams for $12.95 a bag for the queens snacks.  I use to feed her Waggin Tails chicken jerky and paid $14.95 for it until I found out they quit making it here and began having it made in China. I contacted Jacks links and asked them where their products are made and they said U.S. and Canada. I figure it is made for Human consumption and my friends grab some when they stop by and none of them have died yet. I gnaw of some once in a while but not often. The queen loves it so works for me.

Well 2014 cannot get here fast enough for me............... :rant: :rant: :rant:

No they are not bad people and it is because they are so poor...BS BS BS BS BS. They live in countries full of people driving gold plated Mercedes Benz's and have gold drapes surrounding their palaces windows. They are all oil rich countries that got wealthy at our expense with their oil prices. The terrorists are better funded then our own Military is and some woman here thinks we should feel sorry for them. She can pity them all she wants. If they can afford to purchase plane tickets and then fly the planes into buildings killing 1000's of people I say they should have use that money to help buy food for the hungry back home instead of those plane tickets. Those people will never find pity in my home.......jmho

Just because you don't read about them in the news does not mean they are not on the job. They are on constant missions and just rotate personnel. each mission. I'm not sure why they would send a Seal team into an ocean front location? That to me would be unwise because of the wide open location. They said in the article that it was located right on the coast. Something about that is not right, just can't put my finger on it yet.......jmho

My first Bass boat was made by the Winner Boat company in Dickson Tennessee. They use to be one of the Rolls Royce of luxury boats. The one you have is on the web if you google Winner Boats they have an exact picture of your boat. I loved my fishing boat but our grew it and went bigger to a 20 foot bass boat from an 18 and went with Skeeter.

Reason I had it was a buddy of mine was in charge of advertising for Budweiser in St Louis fr 25 years before retiring and he sent that copy I have right after it was made and he pulled it. I had to promise not to share in for a couple years so I didn't let anyone else see it until about 2004. It has always been close to my heart as one of their best commercials. Just wanted to share it because I think most folks here are patriots and I have to agree whole hardheartedly  that I do love my country and hate what they are doing to it. I'm sure if we as Americans had the mentalities that those stone age people have in the Islamic countries we would have had an American Spring by now. We are a civilized race and not an uncivilized one. (yet)

I think most of ya'll know I am a very patriotic person and I love my country with all my soul and heart. This video was made and was going to be used in Super Bowl in 2002 but the people at Anheiser-Busch decided it would be seen in bad taste that soon after 9/11 as trying to profit from such a tragedy so they scrubbed it. I think it has been shown a few times over the years but not much. I think it was one of the best commercials ever made and I still fight back tears when I watch it sometimes. I thought I would share it with those of you that may not have seen it. It is short but gets the point across very well I think.

Well I thought about it after reading about all those things in that thread about stupid stuff folks have done and all the different ones that had electricity involved so I thought I would post this. I had a friend tazed by the police once while he was drunk and he said it has a very sobering effect really quick.

Sounds like he needed more range time before going hunting his foe. Glad no one got hurt or killed. I wonder if he would have been chasing the guy around Lowes with a sword or big knife if it would have made the headlines or been a 5 sentence paragraph on page 6.?????

Christmas in October maybe????? :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh:

Most any of the Rough Rider series single action 6's will shoot the shorts and most single shot bolt action 22 long guns should shoot them.

Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt pocket/purse-sized Tazer. The effects of the Tazer were supposed to be short lived,with no long term adverse affect on your assailant,allowing her adequate time to retreat to saftey...?? WAY TOO COOL!!! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home...I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what the burn spot is on the face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a secone) and then thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself againist a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and Tazer in another. The directions said that: A one second burst would shock and disorient your assailant A two second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; and A three second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference (loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries) pretty cute really, and thinking to myself, "no possible way"!! What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best. I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side so as to say, "Don't do it stupid", reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny lil ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad...I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and ..... HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. WHAT THE ....!!!! I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs! The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room. Note- If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a Tazer one note of caution: There is NO such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by violent thrashing about on the floor!! A three second burst would be considered conservative! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. *The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. *My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. *My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. *I had no control over the drooling. *Apparently I had crapped in my shorts, but was too numb to know for sure, and my sense of smell was gone. *I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head, which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my testicles and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return! My wife can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift and now regularly threatens me with it! If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!  

I just spit coffee all over my keyboard....................... :rofl: :rofl: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

How about "Washington Golf Caddy's"....... That is what our President spends most of his time doing or thinking about doing isn't it?
