  1. I am not sure on legality but its been done many times around here, a LEO took care of one in front of my house that had been hit by a car and I live well within the city limits.  Of course here in Clarksville there don't seem to be any laws against discharging a weapon within city limits, just a noise ordinance.
  2. ^^^This   Punks come in all shapes, colors and ages.  I would of probably described them a bit harsher but skin color is definitely something I would mention as well as any accents and anything else that would narrow it down more.
  3. Well for one thing, groups like this have a habit of continuing these actions until someone puts a halt to it.  Maybe it was there first encounter and a little police action may have detered them from doing it to someone else where it could end up with a beaten driver, or dead teen(s).  For another, if the teens run home and tell their parent(s) some ole white dude pulled a gun(their story, their truth) on them just because they were black and called them the N word and said he'd blow their heads off...etc.  Best to be the first to talk to LEO to make sure they know your side first and they dont have to post your information on the evening news looking for info on you.
  4. I have 8 of the 55 gl barrel halves planted with 4 varieties of tomatoes and three different peppers and some broccoli with a bunch of turnips thrown in.  The tomatoes and broccoli are doing good, the pepper plants are still small and the turnips are exploding everywhere so its a good start.  I started with about a yard of topsoil in the barrels then added miracle gro planting soil in all the holes I planted in then spread the rest on top.  Since this year is an experiment I am not quite going all out with too may variables so staying with the miracle gro planting soil and maybe some miracle gro plant food in a couple of months even though the soil package says it feeds up to 6 months.  If this works out, next year I will mix in some vermiculite and some chicken or other natural manure to make the soil more rich and not as compacted as it is now.  My old garden was very well balanced with that mixture so I expect this one to be the same.  Now if I could only keep the squirrels from digging around in there I would be good to go, they are as bad as me with the memory and can't understand that they did not hide any nuts there in the first place.
  5. DIY is definitely my first go-to when I have to look for a solution, specially seeing how proud they are of some of these handles.
  6. Welcome, for a minute there I thought we had our first Kenyan member.
  7. Yea, though I have been reloading for years I thought of dropping by but I figured I'd let the new reloaders have the slots. Besides, I'm dealing with a root canal which gets a crown tomorrow; So I doubt I'll be in the mood for it anyway.
  8. Probably talking of one of these: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/856208/pri-gas-buster-with-big-latch-charging-handle-assembly-ar-15-aluminum-matte Its supposed to redirect gasses away from the face, though I do not have any issues with that on any of my ARs so never needed to try one.
  9. While not as bad, my fire sometimes smokes up the surrounding yards but it does wonders on the mosquito population so they don't complain.
  10. While I agree somewhat, I dont think you are entirely correct. For while it's illegal to commit crimes, done againt someone because of their race you may also be charged for violating their rights. Kill a black person, refuse to rent due to their race, keep someone from voting because of race (apparently only applies to whites) etc, etc.
  11. That has always baffled me, they can't draw mohammed but they can all be named Mohammed. That character on South Park is drawn quite a few times, they even had draw Mohammed day in an episode, no?
  12.     I heard a local news story last night which said he had trauma to the back of the head which closely resembled a bolt head inside the van. Could go either way as to whether a "rough ride" or intentional injury occurred inside the van.
  13. Not sure of others intent but as for me, I have no issues with holding all our public servants accountable for their actions.  But with an injury toll of over 100 police officers across the country before any of the facts are known is just down right pathetic.  We the people have a right to protest, but not riot, loot and burn down the place while injuring those that want to maintain the peace.  Some of those A-Holes where even cutting the fire hoses, what kind of $hit was that?  And why is it that riots only occur when a black person is beaten or killed?  Why is it that other races maintain order and discipline when something like that happens to one of ours.  For full disclosure I am of Mexican decent, and I know that my brethren are treated much the same way across the country and more than a few have died in police custody but not once has there been a riot over it.  That is not to say that Hispanics never participate, heck many of them were in the pack during the LA riots but that was due to a black man.
  14. Yea, pass.  At this point I would save money reapplying for it each time it expires.
  15. Yes, that is exactly how someone may try and do it.  But trying to do that while handcuffed can lead you to severely hurt yourself and possibly aggravate an already injured spine.  Like I said, we can come up with many scenarios pro and con but nobody can definitively say who caused the injury.  Did the police break protocol?  Certainly seems so but even so it does not rise to the level of all that chaos.  Now remember, I am speaking about the rioting, not the peaceful protests which does not include the hassling of the populace. 
  16. I am not going to try to defend the police because not enough is known for me to make an educated decision on this issue.  But no matter how he died, these riots have little to do with it and more to do with getting away with stealing, burning and just being an A$$.  I don't know if the leaked story is true, or as with the "hands up" it was completely made up but all this should not be happening until a definitive report is given.  If the report exonerates the police or if they are found responsible and are not properly punished then there may a reason to protest, not riot, and possibly ask for an independent investigation to be conducted then.  As with the Brown incident, so much damage could of been avoided if they would just wait for all the facts to come out before going all ape poop on the community.
  17. Well hopefully they make changes per unit instead of a blanket change for all TN.  Here we have an over abundance of deer which is probably why we have such a high doe limit but for the past few years it looks like we have not been harvesting enough.  Road killed deer have increased quite a bit out here and much of that has been due to new housing pushing deer out into other areas but it seems that there are a bunch more deer as well.  Maybe some of our Eastern TN hunters need to come down and take a few doe back with them.
  18. Not hard to believe, lithium batteries have an odor a human can smell.  I have my 3v batteries in blister packs and when I open them I get a definite odor that come out of the pack.  With a bears sense of smell so acute its not a stretch to see how they can pick up a scent but why they would want to get to them is beyond me.  Maybe its because its a different smell, or maybe its a mineral they need...who knows.
  19. I disagree, that is how many of them talk amongst each other. And coming from within may get some to get the message instead of just going on the defensive. I have learned that within any group, there are many who are fed up with the vocal minority making the entire group look bad. It's up to those within to bring about a change to their respective group, any outsiders will only bring agitation to the situation.

    Yea, I have them both on all my ARs too. All the slicks I seen where more expensive than the standard version so I didn't go for them. Same goes for the other mods I have seen, such as the one that does away with the charging handle, some of which I like but not enough to pay the premium price.

    Not sure about the M&P sport but others I have seen can't even take a forward assist or cover since they are not designed to have one installed. These parts have little to no use in a non military role and even then I have never used the forward assist in combat and the dust cover never kept the sand out.
  22. I am in Unit L and though I think the limit is fine here I would not have a problem if they went lower as I like my small does. This year most bucks on my cams showed up at night, they were good looking bucks and I would of dropped one given the chance but don't regret not seeing them in my scope.

    Nope, you are on the money.  As long as you are fully aware of what you are getting and it meets your needs then you should be just fine with it.  As I have stated before, I am not a brand whore, I have a some cheaper ARs, an M&P, a PSA, a DPMS and home build with multiple brand parts as well as a Spikes and they all perform just fine.  I prefer the faster twist barrels due to wanting to use a heavier boolit, but 1:9 is not overly slow if you stay with jacketed bullets or lighter cast boolits.
