  1. Glad everything turned out ok but my question is was the girlfriend impressed?
  2. I use a debt card quite often and I guess I have been lucky cause I have never had an issue with it yet. My bank put's all my purchases on my debit card in processing for 3 days to give me time to accept or deny the charge so I check my account every day to see what is on it. As far as the crooks sending 2 of the purchases to your house. Your debit card probably did that automatically because the crooks could not use their home address and didn't have another address they could send them to. As far as your information being secret. Not this day in time! Your information is almost a matter of public record these days. It's like you probably have no clue how many times you appear on a camera somewhere. If you got out your door of your house your probably on someones camera. Neighbors, depending on where you live, the apartment complex and lets not forget NASA. You can walk out your back door and sit and drink a cup of coffee on your deck and NASA can watch every sip you take. I have told a few friends that and they go into panick mode. I quit worrying about it years ago cause I don't plan on breaking any laws plus nothing I can do about it anyway. Some people think just because they have moved out into the deep wilderness and have no modern items like cell phone. electricity, city water and they live primarily off the land that they are off the grid. Good luck with that!!The MAN knows where your at if he wants you bad enough.............JMHO
  3. I was sorting some brass today and ran across so 10mm brass during my sorting. I will probably be another 2 months getting all the brass sorted that I have. I'm not a reloader so have no clue which brass is something folks might want and which no one would want but I got it so I'm gonna see what all kinds I have. Right now I am mostly coming up with 45, 380, 9mm, 38 special and 40 cal. Ran across a few pieces in 45 long Colt and a few 44 Mag stuff.
  4. I have been considering a shoulder holster outfit for several years but can seem to find one I want. I want a tuxedo style harness with a vertical drop in holster and so far all I have found is horizontal holsters.................
  5. The Kroger store I shop in does not have a magazine section or rack in it but way I see it, if a store quits selling any products it's because of money more than anything else. If an item is not making a profit it is gone. It other stores I see that have magazine racks I see people standing reading a magazine and then close it up and place it back on the shelf anyway. Why buy when you can read it and put it back on the shelf?
  6. Ok I am going to start by saying any and all school shootings are trageties and just should not be happening, but they are!! Each school shooting has it's own aftermath and story needs to be told and each one is unique in it's own way. Since Columbine in 1999 there have been 25 school shootings with multiple deaths, some more than others. My question to all of this is what makes this school shooting any more tragic than Schools in every other location? Why has there been no protests and walk outs by students of any of the other school shootings. Were they not as important as this one? Were the deaths of the students at other schools not as important as the ones in Parkland Florida? I would kind of like to hear from some of the students in schools in Texas or Idaho or Wisconsin why they feel different in this case? Lets see who is influencing the real actions of these young people to decide to do this?......................JMHO
  7. I can't rememner the last time I picked up a firearm of any type and did not safely clear it before doing any other type of inspection of it. I assume every gun is loaded until I have cleared it completely!!!!!! Prayers sent to the family.
  8. Back when I was a kid growing up and I'm talking kid 10 years old I owned a 4.10 shot gun and a 12 gauge and when I was not in school during the hunting seasons I was in the woods and fields hunting. Now I was able to do this in a state that now has someof the toughest gun laws in the country, Illinois and the year was 1958. By the time my buddy and I were 13 and 14 we owned at least 8 or more guns each including 22lr Single action pistols. My friend owned a Ruger and I owned a Colt. We didn't even need our parents with up to purchase these firearms. All we needed was the funds to purchase them. No back ground checks or waiting periods. Just cash and a receipt and deal was done. When I moved to Tennessee in 1967 I was kind of surprised to see rifles and shotguns hanging in the back windows of pickups but learned quick that was the way things was done down here. My grandfather gave me my frist deer rifle which was a Winchester mod 94. I could not buy high powered rifles up north cause there was no big game seasons up there. 22lr was the biggest rifle we could buy in Illinois back then. I grew up in a gun enviroment and it was 2nd nature. Today my friend still lives up there and he said gun owners are constantly jumping through hoops to be able to do what we took as a natural way of life back in 1958. Now there are people working very hard at trying to end a lifestyle this country was built on and that was the right to Bear arms. The right to own a gun. I have looked at the people that want to deprive us of our rights. Because they might be in a position of power to take my rights away, do a back ground check on many of them and you will find they are either gun owners themselves or are surrounded by men and women that do have guns to protect that individual wanting to take your rights away. I'm 70 years old and I can tell you right this minute!! If they come to take my guns away it is not going to be peaceful or a pretty sight and they will remove my guns from my cold dead hands..........JMHO
  9. First experiment with a bullet proof vest would be my guess!!!!!
  10. Planning on living in it?............LOL That shop is a lot bigger than my house. Sounds a lot like the new shop my son built a few years ago but he operates an automotive repair center out of his. He has his all insulated to cut down on heating bills. He has 2 above ground lifts. one 2 post and one 4 post located in the drive through section and he can have a vehicle on the 4 post and put it in the air and drive through below it. I thought when he showed me the blueprints that he was over doing it but turns out it is a great working building. I made the statement when I was looking at blue prints that he was going to have a lot of unused space. I was wrong..........lol.
  11. What is the name of the group that is coming to protest. Are they an organized group or just a bunch of 2nd Amendment gun haters?
  12. He can run but can he win???? His popularity just took a hell of a hit!!! He just signed a bill into law that did not make him the most popular guy in town and if the NRA suit is successful he will be even less popular. The law will do nothing to prevent what just happened in Florida!! The left will be dropping a ton of money in Florida this up coming election. People in Florida are seeing him for what he really is as his true colors are shinning like NEON LIGHTS!!..............JMHO
  13. If you stop and think about what the populaton of Florida is made up of you would come closer to understanding why he signed the law. 40% of the population is hispanic, 50% is old people that retired from one of the Yankee states with lousey gun laws and 10% is Red Necks up in the panhandle. Florida is one of those states you cannot expect to be the same twice on anything........JMHO
  14. Can anyone here say they didn't see this coming if a few more crazies used AR's to shoot up a few more GUN FREE ZONES? I didn't notice any actions taken on the GUN FREE ZONES so they have evidently decided to keep the Killing fields intact till further notice. As far as the 3 day waiting period to purchase a gun only means it will wind up being 5 to 7 days or longer because it will get swamped and begin taking longer each time. I really don't see what the age change from 18 to 21 changing anything. Out of the 156 mass shootings between 2009 and 2016 only 2 shooters was under 21 and only one of the guns was bought legally and the other was stolen meaning only one shooting was done with a legal firearm meaning only one shooting would have been prevented. Oh well, like I said, was anyone not expected this to happen sooner or later????
  15. Who knows???? according to the Clintons they are innocent of whacking anyone so after all they are all Democrats!!!!!
  16. This is nothing more than the Clintons on a smaller scale with same legal system as Clintons!!!!
  17. My mistake, It was 59 killed or injured with 12 students and 1 teacher being killed
  18. I think certain ones do. I know MeGavock in Donelson does and I know Antioch High does but both of them deal with gang issues so they have 1 or 2 officers but I don't know about any others.
  19. You have a great point for sure. There will always be some injuries and maybe even loss of life. That is for sure. How much will depend on how fast who ever is going towards the shooter to confront them with a good guy with a gun or maybe 2 or 3 good guys with guns. The quicker the response the less the carnage..........JMHO
  20. I've not seen any schools even talking about having full time police officers yet. I know some have ask about getting some but not mentioned paying them.
  21. It's not what the kid doing the shooting is thinking but more how quick a good person with a gun can stop the bad guy with the gun!!! It would be great if there would be none killed or injured but if it can be cut down to 1 or 2 before the shooter is taken down that is better the 17 or Like Columbine and 59 and Sandy Hook with 26...............JMHO
  22. IMO that just shows you how stupid some teachers can be. Not only students but there has been a lot of teachers and faculty also killed that might still be alive had there been armed people in the school. Guns in schools won't just be protecting Children, they will be protecting everyone except the active shooter and we can all hope he/she/they are being shot by several different armed School staff at the same time!!!
  23. I have been saying that for years and for years it has fallen on deaf ears!! No Gun Zones are nothing more than Killing fields. Just look at every mass killing that has taken place in last 15 years to see that. I am not sure how competent the Blaze News reporting is but here is a couple to check out. https://americanconcealed.com/articles/mental-preparedness/do-the-most-shootings-occur-in-gun-free-zones/ https://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/01/09/over-98-of-mass-shootings-occurred-on-gun-free-zones-research-shows
  24. I have quit packing my pocket knife since my By-pass surgery. Right now my doctor has me on Plavix blood thinner and even a minor cut now can be very serious. I'm back to using scissors to cut things in the kitchen and put all the sharp knives up. I have to be careful now with Darby and her claws. We were playing to other day and she scratched me and it took 20 minutes to stop the bleeding and it was just a small scratch. I am going to have a talk with the doctor Monday when I go see her to see if there is ways to stop the bleeding quicker that just holding pressure on it or Ice. They work but there has got to be something better out there.........JMHO
