The way I look at it, at least I am contributing. Whether its a reduced price or not makes little difference in the long run. My using the NRA logo also gives them free advertising,  possibly getting others to join.  And with the NRA roundup, NRA store and other NRA services I say I am contributing more than most considering the number of gun owners.

So when I shoulder my nail gun I am breaking the law?  This department is such bs, they should stick to distributing weapons to drug gangs and leave us law abiding citizens to our own devices. 

Yea, bet she will get in some target practice in the near future.

You get grid coordinates of the burial site :devil:     I have fired more rounds than that through my M16 with no failure, at least nothing as seen on the vid.  I had the whole gas tube glowing red and a few cooked off, but we were on semi with a split second between shots due to the range rules.  But we did have range control watch us due to the rate of fire.  As for the pig, yea we shot the heck out of them but barrel changes kept us from smoking the barrels.

I would make contact the VA TBI clinic in Nashville.  I am not sure but I thing even if it is not service connected they will see you for evaluation.  I was sent there due to some questionnaire they did prior to an appointment I had.  They doc there did a very good assessment which of course indicated I had no TBI.

He'll get paid.  Though I think that the police officer should of known better, the store is more at fault.  Who stores loaded weapons for sale in a display case?  Many first gun buyers may of been the ones given a loaded gun and it may of been much worse depending on where the gun was pointed.  

I learned back on the ranch were I grew up to only split seasoned logs, those green ones were pretty tough to split. I have a bunch of oak logs at my place that are well past dry.  I was going to use an alaskan mill to cut into slabs but couldn't find an older big enough chain saw to run it. I had to drop another oak tree last summer so may use that for the smoker, should be easy enough to split.

I don't have a need for firewood, just do it on occasion when I have to cut a tree down or move a downed tree but this looks like it may be better than a maul: http://www.harborfreight.com/manual-slide-log-splitter-93360.html   But even that would probably be bad on my back so I may just have to get one of these: http://www.harborfreight.com/10-ton-hydraulic-log-splitter-67090.html  No motor to sit and go bad and fairly portable.   Its probably cheap material but I have one of their posthole digging bars and its come in quite handy, I have a lot of rocks on my land which this has helped break up while putting in corner and brace posts for my fence and its held up good so far.. 

Sure but as any military guy knows about the UCMJ there is always a catch, and in TNs laws, it is the same case, the laws are there if they so choose to enforce:   39-17-305. Disorderly conduct.    (a)  A person commits an offense who, in a public place and with intent to cause public annoyance or alarm:      (1)  Engages in fighting or in violent or threatening behavior;      (2)  Refuses to obey an official order to disperse issued to maintain public safety in dangerous proximity to a fire, hazard or other emergency; or      (3)  Creates a hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act that serves no legitimate purpose. ( b ) A person also violates this section who makes unreasonable noise that prevents others from carrying on lawful activities. ( c )  A violation of this section is a Class C misdemeanor.       [Acts 1989, ch. 591, § 1.]   The fact that this particular instance turned out ok does not make their action ok.  If the perp was armed, and had not been searched yet, it is the female officers job to back her partner up in case he turns violent.  And if more aggressive action was needed by the police to secure the perp, the mob may of acted in his defense.  Again, not saying that we need more laws, we have them, but we definitely need better manners.  But some have no class, no matter what you try and teach them.

For starters, the female officer is having to deal with the idiots instead of backing up her partner.  And if they did not rile up the perp, he would of just went quietly. Though it did turn out ok, the potential for something to go wrong goes way up when idiots like that one pull these stunks.  I fully support being able to film, on both sides, but the crowding of the scene is definitely not ok, and egging on someone resist is probably close to being, if not outright, a crime.

Btq96r you must of seen a different video than I did.  While they most certainly do have a right to video tape, they do not have a right to interfere with the officers.  Anything that takes the officers attention away from the issues at hand can be hazardous to the officers and the arrestee.  And did anyone happen to notice all the comments, many with the cop shooting icon?

What they need is a father, period.  With as many single mothers out there all they have for male roll models are other street punks.

+1 for Midsouth, even though I have to pay tax, I find them the best price around.  And when its hazmat, then its no contest. I also use midway when the item is out of stock at midsouth, they usually do a good job but on occasion it may take awhile with their ups/usps shipping combo.  I have tried the reloading bench guys, but its too far to drive and still pay the tax and their price can't compete with midsouth. 

Yea, I would prefer the entire logo.  Even out of towners can't mistake that.

Draw it, even if it sucks; You would not be alone: https://www.google.com/search?q=draw+mohammed+day&safe=strict&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=2CKwVMD1H5OGNvKsgsAO&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=1071

I don't know, while not universal it is a deterrent.  When stationed at Ft Bragg, I lived in a mobile home park.  My fenced in yard happened to be a perfect shortcut from a back street to Bragg Blvd.  I put up a sign, got a dog (got stolen once) and locked the gate to no avail.  One day I was watering my grass when some guy just walks right behind me to the other side, last straw.  I took to "cleaning" my shotgun on my front porch; the next time one of them had his leg over my fence I racked it...the very last time I had anyone do that again.  No violence, no words were exchanged but the message was clear.  I do know one thing, even if you have never heard that sound, there is no mistaking what it is.

Apparently you have not seen the level of training in some of the foreign militaries.  No, there was a level of at least planning if not all out training.  And since they had the RPG, they had some sort of connections to acquire such hardware. One thing that stands out to me is that the police officer gave up and it cost him his life.  We once were trained to cooperate with hostage takers, to allow the authorities to come to our rescue or negotiate our release.  Though not trained for, there was times where you would surrender when totally outgunned or outnumbered by an enemy.  No more, with the way the enemy operates, you fight to your last breath, no matter what; because there will be no mercy, Bergdahl not withstanding.

I read he got off with a slap on the wrist, and he was one of the ones that helped pass the law he broke.

Well, I finally seen another deer I could take a shot at. She came up over the hill on my neighbors property, I grabbed my rifle but could not locate her again. She then jumped the fence to my side to a clearing, so I took the shot. She dropped immediately then seen another coming up the hill toward the first, which is why she jumped the fence. Took a shot at that one too, but this one took off. She ran almost 50 yards with what turned out to be a heart shot. The first one I hit in the neck, no spine but enough shock to drop her. Hope everyone had a good season this year...now for a few of those pesky squirrels.

Waterfowl guys were making a ruckus,  but no deer to be seen. Just a slight mist now and then with a few gusts of wind, should be good for deer movement so hoping some move my way.  Good thing the temp went up a bit, no heater needed so I have my electronic earmuffs on.

Squirrels beware!

Two of mine have rails, one was put on there by glock after a recall.  Don't have any practical purpose for me, I have lasers on a couple of my guns but have tritium sites on all my carry guns which I practice with almost exclusively. I kind of like the look of a gun with a light but I won't buy one, I think the dark works in my favor.

Stalking or stand?  I hunt out of my elevated stand, dry for the most part save a few leaks.  Just hope the rain doesn't make them bed down.  But at least I can run my heater since the rain makes it noisy anyway.  Got to find a quiter way to heat my stand, my Mr. Heater little buddy sounds like a small jet engine.

With any luck they should be moving in the morning, I seen one right before last light, but it moved too fast for a shot.  If only the rain holds off enough to let them move.

For Christmas I received a pair ofHoward Leight R-01526 earmuffs which I decided to compare to the Peltor TAC 100s linked in a post here on TGO. First the HL's Pros: great microphone sensitivity, can hear a lot of the wildlife I can't hear with out them. They fit comfortably and the on/off knob is designed well. They are slim enough to put my hunting watch cap over. The MP3 connection is good, it allows listening to music or whatever with its own volume. That is you MP3 player can be low, while the microphones are on high. Cons: the microphones have a slight humm, more so with a cord plugged in, sort of like an open mike. They also react to the phone antenna when downloadind/sending. It gets worse if the phone is closer to the headset. Now the Peltor TAC 100s. Pro: the microphone pickup is much more life-like, no extra static. They react to louder sound very quickly such as snapping your fingers or tapping on the headset. Very comfortable and though slightly thicker than the Howard Leight's not overly so. My watch cap fit right over it easy enough. The MP3 connection is recessed which keep your bare fingers or metal from touching it and creating static/feedback unlike the Howard Leight's Cons: the on/off button sticks out, cosmetic but it bugs me. The wires to each ear piece sticks out a bit, not a lot but enough to snag a branch if exposed,with no watch cap, and a bit thinner than the Howard Leigh's. The microphone does not amplify as good, seems to only capture closer sounds. Overall they both work well. If you only use them for the range, I would get the Peltors they sound much clearer and react to loud sounds better. If you hunt, I'd consider the Howard Leight's they amplify sounds much better and you can use the MP3 while hunting. I use mine to listen to recorded deer calls to copy on my call.
