  1. I noticed that last night as well, the license plate and then the chain taking three in one swing.  I commented that it was too comic book like.  I also wonder about the strength of some of them, how can they generate so much strength  at one point and then be held up by a simple door or window.  While this is surely just Hollywood, it would be nice for some consistency or at least a semi-plausible explanation of the phenomena that is the zombie horde.  Maybe that is what the new series is supposed to do.   
  2. A salute to our heroes.   http://swf.tubechop.com/tubechop.swf?vurl=8k9Si28k0Fk&start=0&end=438.55&cid=3753492   May we raise more like him!
  3. Some ORs have a sealed off admin area which is not a sterile area and I am sure they will take protective measures if it's in the actual operation area.   Is the computer something they need for the procedure? 
  4. You look into the .277 Wolverine? I contemplated it when it got announced but I was playing with the 300Blk so didn't want another AR to convert brass for. It was showing promise, somewhere between the 300Blk and the 6.8. Its definitely a wildcat round at this point so don't expect much off the shelf. http://www.maddogweapons.com/277-wolverine.html
  5. I got a hybrid IWB holster with a leather lined kydex shell from a local guy who made it while I watched but will take mail orders too: http://mtoholster.com/.  I chose a brown color and so far it has not had any issues that you have concerns about, the leather is thicker than most other holsters I have.  The Alien Gear prices can't easily be beat though specially with the 2 holster deal, I think I'll try these guys out for my next two to compare: http://aliengearholsters.com/alien-gear-2-holster-combo.html/
  6. Of that there was no doubt, but the other party is not here to receive his admonishment.  It seems most times we end up preaching to the choir, those who post situations like this are already far ahead of the ones who don't.  The thing is, at the end of the day it could of been two decent guys having a bad day.  I know many things run through my head when confronted by bad drivers, but in the long run its not worth it to become confrontational over an almost traffic accident. I know I have been the one in the wrong a couple of times, but always make it a point to wave as to say "Sorry", many times a little courtesy goes a long way.
  7. First, its never a good idea to get out of your vehicle to confront anyone whether armed or not; won't end good.  If you feel you are being followed, make a few turns to verify if that is the case.  If verified, call 911and head to a police station and let the operator know your location and route.  Don't stop right behind anyone, leave room, If at a stop and the other driver gets out, drive off.  If confronted by an armed assailant,  let him come to you.  If armed yourself its best to respond from the car, if not you have at least a 1/2 ton weapon at your disposal. 
  8. Yea, I have enough ammo and components to shoot well after a big ammo scare does away with or prices it beyond my reach.  I don't really need more than 1k per caliber, though in a couple I have more than that.  For a bugout situation I doubt I'll be dragging more than a caliber or two out the door so all my stock would go to waste.  I haven't gotten paranoid enough to create caches of ammo all over so what I have is it, and for all my purposes that will be enough.
  9. No, we are both comfortable with the corners since they have been surveyed twice.  It would of been real easy to see if the line were to deviate very far in either direction (bowed) as was demonstrated once I put the fence up and could see the straight line which I confirmed with poles on the high spots and a laser and compass (azimuth/back azimuth).  The hard part was just getting a pole on the high spots since the corners are over/under the line of sight.  Once I put fence poles up and put survey tape on each it made a nice straight line, not survey quality but we are both comfortable with it.  We both agreed that if one or the other ever wanted to, we could get an actual survey done and the fence would move accordingly.    I understand the legal aspect, and would not of needed a legal document.  Just someone with an instrument to shoot from one corner to another corner that is not visible and mark the high spots.  With both of us present we would of readily been able to see how well the job was done and since we are both too cheap to do a survey, we would of been too cheap to hire a lawyer anyway :)
  10. Correct, if they are out to get into your network, then they can. But most of us dont have a network that hackers want to get into. And crackers/hackers are more likely to go after the soft targets to further hack a better network from. So anything you can do to make it harder for them is worth doing.

    I have purchased remanufactured ammo, but I always do a good search on the company first to see if they have had any issues and how they handled them.  Even the big guys have had issues now and then so any time you buy ammo you are taking a calculated risk.  Even reloading you take a risk, many a story about reloading errors. Do your due diligence and give them a try, besides it being a safe load or not, it needs to be an accurate one as well.
  12. I can't speak for all surveys, or surveyors but I had a hard time finding one to just place markers from one pin to the other so I can run a barbed wire fence.  The ones I called wanted to charge me pretty much the same as doing an entire new survey citing the need to go to a known point (POB I guess) even though the pins are there.  I explained that I did not want nothing "legal" just needed something me and the neighbor could feel was fair for both.  Ended up placing an elevated line with a plum bob siting above each pin then cutting trees wherever the line touched one, then using the plumb bob to put flags down where the fence posts were later placed.  Turned out ok but would of rather not had to cut so many trees.
  13. Unless you don't want the other calibers, what stops you, beside money of course, from just picking a caliber or two to stock up on ammo for.   Though I have at least 1k rounds for the ones I shoot a lot of, I feel I have plenty components to allow me to reload for some time.  I don't feel I need more than what I have at this time and feel if I ever run out I can trade some of my other calibers for what I want.
  14. No, never contemplated the idea.  In handgun I have .22lr, 9mm, .40, .44 Mag and .45; each had their place in my stable.  In rifle, I have .22lr, .270, .308, .303 brit and 30/06 and of course my 12 guage SGs Again, they all have a purpose.  Though I won't just buy a gun or rifle for its caliber, I am not a collector, I do consider that to be a factor when I see good deals.  I don't shoot all my firearms the same though, its been some time since I took my M1 Garand out for a spin.  Since I carry my .40 it gets most of the attention, but I make it a point to take the rest out regularly enough to stay proficient with that caliber and intended use. 
  15. Nope, just that. A $49 diagnostic fee, and the rest parts and service. All of 10 minutes to complete, used an ohm meter to get a reading across the three sets of prongs, got a low reading and replaced it. I had a local guy install both of my outside units, and he did some work before that. Very reasonable and a good guy, but he passed and the company is no longer in business? So had to roll the dice.
  16. Well, seen this too late. I called in an HVAC company and $202 later I have a new $10-$20 capacitor in my unit.
  17. Well, at least they are responding: http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/2015/03/18/harwell-asks-committee-leaders-to-open-secret-pre-meetings/24971507/ Looks like enough people brought up the subject to make them react. Will this change anything? Maybe not but we need to keep at it.
  18. Your router should not be broadcasting it's ID, if you want someone to connect you will tell them your router ID and password.  That setting is available to most routers, but its best to access the routers settings through a hard line not via Wi-Fi.   As for your phone, only the phone name should show and I think it records the MAC address if you connect.
  19. Exactly what I did to all on the list: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/86679-tennessee-house-mailing-list/?p=1252391   To whom it may concern:  I have watched closely the bills that have been submitted concerning gun laws in TN and am a bit concerned.  Though I am originally from Denver, Co., I decided to make TN my home when I retired from the military in 04'.  There were many reasons but one of the most important ones was TN's support for my 2nd Amendment rights.    I know there are many issues concerning TN that you as representatives of the voting public must concern yourselves with and some of these bills may not seem to be as important to you.  All I ask is that you, as our representative, listen to your constituency and voice your opinion about these bills and not use any backdoor way to keep from bringing these up to the floor for a vote.  If you do not agree with the bill, so be it, vote that way and defend your position with your constituents.   I am a member of many gun related organizations and have steadily been seeing more and more of our members posting in disgust at the way some of these bills have been shelved due to lack of support from supposed 2nd amendment supporters amongst you.  I have also heard mention of possibly illegal pre-meetings discussing pending legislation; do we not have enough shenanigans coming out of Washington that we need to do this here?  If you support the 2nd Amendment then let your voting record reflect that, if you have issues with how the legislation is written, then vote against it or work to correct it.    Sincerely,   Jose L. Ornelas Clarksville, TN
  20. Yup, the height issue was a given.  I looked over some rack examples online and it looks easy enough to do.  The drums were food grade, I used them as a water collection system for two years.  I am contemplating using them as a back stop at my range to strategically make holes through them :woohoo:
  21. Anyone tried planting in half 55gl plastic barrels?  I used four white ones of these for water recovery for a year then discovered they created too much algae so I replaced them with blue ones. I have to move my garden area so instead of a traditional garden plot I wanted to try something new and figured if I cut these in half and raise them a couple of feet it could be a good raised garden..thoughts?
  22. What BS, who assumed that I would not like to be armed if I travel the less than 10 miles into KY EVERY SINGLE DAY? I for one would keep my permit for the simple fact that I do travel into other states and would enjoy reciprocity with it.
  23. There should be no physical difference between dry fire and live fire on trigger squeeze. Mental, well too many unknowns there. If the injury was weapon related then there may be a mental block going on, if not it may just be that you have developed a recoil flinch. Myself, I quit hunting for a few years after my rotations overseas. Just could not get back into it, no flinching, no ptsd just lost interest for some reason. One day I decided to ease back into it and not let anything change me, started with some range time then some hunting and all was well. You may try having someone load your .44 for you at the range. 5 snapcaps and one live, aim at your target and squeeze; let the live one surprise you.
  24. I have an understanding with the IRS, they send part of my federal taxes back to TN in the way of hwy funds etc...problem solved.
