I seriously doubt it will be one of the women. Negan wants to show that he's the biggest, baddest guy in the world and not to be messed with. While the victim might well be Glen as in the comics, I'm thinking Negan will want to take out the biggest, baddest member of the group just to prove his point. That would obviously be Abraham. 

For my money, I think it was Abraham that Negan whacked. Earlier in the episode he was talking to Sasha about maybe having kids. In this show, making plans for the future is a sure sign something bad is going to happen to ya.  :stick:   OTOH, could be that the producers are waiting for contract negotiations for next season. Whoever puts up the biggest fuss or wants the most money will likely be the victim. 

Any business owner has the right to refuse service to any customer for any reason. I had a FFL for a while back during the 1980s. IIRC the rules stated that a dealer not only had the right, but a DUTY to refuse a sale to anyone who appeared to be intoxicated, suspicious,  unstable or otherwise mentally incompetent. I don't know if that's still in the rules today. Any current FFLs care to chime in on this?

Well I won't say I'm above being wrong. Lord knows that I make a habit of it.  :foot: There's just several things that didn't look quite right to me. Most notably the ejector rod, but also the hammer, front sight and the grip logo. There aren't any pics of the right side. Is there a S&W logo on it? You said the only markings were on the cylinder.  With only a few pics to go by, I made my best guess.  If your guy says its a S&W, that's good enough. The first thing you learn about S&W is that anything is possible.  My apologizes and enjoy it. 

I guess I'm a bit late to this party, but I do have a couple. I'm partial to the U.S. guns. :usa: Get your paperwork together and make a little road trip to the CMP South Store in Anniston, Ala. There you can pick and choose from what they have in the store and take it home right then. The staff is extremely helpful and will loan you bore and chamber gauges to help you make a selection. That's what I did and have never regretted it. :up: Come on now. The paperwork isn't that difficult, you get to pick your own rifle, you know its in good condition and its not that far of a drive from anywhere in Tennessee. Not to mention that it'll save a at minimum a several hundred over what you might find locally. CMP Garands won't last much longer. The supply is running out. The time to get one is NOW. ;)

I don't know what it is, but it ain't a Smith & Wesson.  Quite possibly one of the many Spanish copies of S&Ws made in the early 20th century. They were intentionally made to look almost like a real S&W to fool unsuspecting buyers. S&W ended up suing the makers of these guns and won.  I would need a clear, close up pic of the grip emblem and cylinder markings to make a better guess.  Quality of these guns was dubious at best.

I thank God that I had sons. If I had had a daughter, I'm sure that by the time she turned 18 I'd either be in jail or dead.  :eek:   True story: A co-worker of mine had a rather attractive daughter. When she was around 16-17 her date showed up to take her out. Dad insisted on meeting him. Turns out that this guy was 22. Skeptical, but not wanting to disappoint his girl, Dad started laying down the rules including what time to be home. This guy's response was "I'm a grown man. I do what I want!" Dad's response was to shove a 9mm in this jerks mouth and back him out the door! The girl never heard from him again.  :biglol:

I've been to two in memphis. First time I bought an RG-22 from a co-worker for $10. Gun was a POS. Wouldn't fire half the time and couldn't hit when it did. I got it for the sole purpose of turning it in. Got a $25 gas and a $50 grocery gift certificates for it. Nice profit for me.  :up:   Second time the buy back was at the old fairgrounds. Just so happened that there was a gun show in another building right across the parking lot. I went to the gun show and the place was really busy,  huge crowd. Just out of curiosity I checked out the buy back. That place was a ghost town. Nobody there but the staff. IIRC they took in about 20 guns that day and all were total junkers.    Both times I took extra money with the intent to check out what folks in line were turning in and offer cash for anything worth having. Didn't see a single gun worth making an offer on.  :shrug:   Both of these buy backs were back in the early 1990s. Nobody has been stupid enough to try it again since.  :screwy:

I've been a member for about 14 years. I'm retired now and usually go on weekdays when its less crowded. I also shoot IDPA on a semi-regular basis.  Older guy, average build, gray hair, mustache and glasses. if ya spot me, say howdy.  :wave:

Like many good pranks it sounds like a great idea at the time, but somehow they usually find a way to bite you in the butt.  :eek:

That's my point. Its all about money. Headlines equal bigger budgets.    Don't get me wrong. I'm by no means excusing abuse of power by anyone. I've known a lot of LEOs in my time and the vast majority are good people who just want to protect and serve. How they go about that is directly affected by their superiors. When the agency you work for not only allows, but encourages the abuse of authority, even good men can fall victim to the siren's call of power. I seriously doubt that any "bad cop" started out that way. Over time they learned just what they could get away with until that becomes their norm.  I totally agree that the individual is responsible for their own actions. But absolute power corrupts absolutely. 

Radical Islam has declared war on the rest of humanity. World War III has already begun, but political correctness BS prevents any government from admitting it or taking the harsh, but necessary action to stop it. Failure to act hard enough and fast enough will be our undoing. 

Yeah, there are some bad cops/agents out there. Especially on the Federal level. But I believe that the vast majority are good people who are just trying to do a job. I place the blame on administrations that not only allow, but encourage this sort of behavior. Its all about money. Every alphabet agency in the federal government is in a constant battle for funding. Those that make the big busts and get the headlines get the most of our tax dollars.  I believe that the Waco incident was intended to be a fund raiser. Let's go bust this crazy cult, bag 'em on some weapons charges and throw in some child abuse. Arrest about 100 of them and grab the big headlines. Yep, that will get us a lot of attention and a big raise in next year's budget. :up: Only the Branch Davidians didn't co-operate and the whole thing went to crap real quick.  :eek:  UH OH! Time to back peddle, regroup and cover up. But that didn't go so well either. Mistakes were made and more mistakes were made trying to save asses.  Don't blame the agent, blame the agency.

I looked at the Rugers. Nice, but I was never compelled to buy one. I own 4 Springers. All are outstanding guns. I highly recommend them. Plus, Springfield has the absolute best customer service in the gun industry. Not that you'll need it, but its comforting to know.  ;)

I looked and saw a couple of interest. Even bid on one. But, with the 10% and the fact that for me its about an 8-9 hour round trip drive, the prices have already gone way beyond me. In fact, many have already gone way beyond reasonable. I do believe there's gonna be a lot of disappointed people when they go to pick up their prize.   

The guy was a major A-hole and a truly bad example as a gun owner/dealer. He got what he deserved.   :poop:

I have a German P220 made in the mid-90s. Put the SRT kit in it and couldn't be happier with it. An upgrade well worth the cost.  :up:

You can't fix stupid.  :shake:

I am soooooo gonna spread that Barrett story around on other boards.  :up: I love living here.  :usa:

The TPH was made in both calibers, but the .25acp version is rarely seen in the U.S. If you do run a cross a .25 version, it'll usually sell for considerably more, up to twice as much, over its .22 counterpart. 

This topic came up on another site I visit and made me curious. Are sword canes legal in Tennessee? I never thought about it before and really don't have a clue.  :confused:

I'm sorry to add more rain on your parade, but I wouldn't have a Kimber. In my opinion they are vastly over rated and over priced. Aside from normal range shooting, I also shoot IDPA. Over the years I've seen far more Kimbers choke than any other brand of 1911. I'm also not a huge fan of the compact 1911s  no matter who makes them. It seems that the 1911 platform simply does not like to have barrels shorter than 4". They are mostly a malfunction waiting to happen. Granted, some can be very reliable up to 95% of the time. But are you willing to risk your life in hope that the remaining 5% doesn't pop up at an inconvenient moment? I own a very nice Springfield Ultra-Compact which functions just fine almost all the time. But I won't carry it because just every now and then it will jam. Maybe once out of 500 rounds. But that's still too much for me to totally trust. And some aren't nearly that reliable. Finally, I believe the 1911 is the finest combat/defensive handgun ever made. However, I'm also the first to say that its not for everybody. If you are going to carry a 1911, you MUST be willing to put in the time and practice necessary to make releasing the thumb safety on the draw a completely automatic motion which requires absolutely no thought on your part.  Anything less and you're dead.  

I honestly can't say just what I'd do. It would depend on the situation and exactly what was happening at the time.  I believe that if I was to run away or just stand by while innocent people were being murdered, I just don't know if I could live with myself afterwards.

I have two 512s and am still debating on trying to send them back or not. Both are at least 10 years old and seem to be working just fine. Although I do have to turn the brightness all the way up in bright sun light. Honestly, electronic sights is one area where my knowledge is certainly lacking and I really don't use them all that often. Not to mention that my son, an Iraq veteran, likes the EO better than others he's used.  I think I'll just wait and see how long it takes for customers to actually receive their refunds before making a final decision.
