That's kind of the same thing I am thinking oldogy. I am sitting here thinking the cars they are talking about are equipped with anti-lock brakes so to over heat they must just be pu**y-footing around with them and when they finally realize to step on them like they're a rattlesnake in the floorboard the rotors are smoking. I've heard the calls about the brakes not stopping them so I know that much is true. But at the same time I am putting myself in that situation. Neutral and emergency brake. Funny they named that brake that isn't it ? Screw the engine and anything else it blows up in the process. We had 2 taurus SHO's (89 and 90) and both had the tendency to allow the floormat to hang the pedal up so you would have to lay the mat toward the seat to keep it from getting caught. But the couple times it happened neither me or my dad went in to panic mode. I have to agree with my father-in-law which has been screaming BS since the beginning of this. He thinks they have a major issue that they're not letting out to the public. Something bad enough to do exactly what they are doing.

LOL, sounds good. Thanks Rob.

Hey Rob, I'm interested in taking this class. I was wondering what I need to send in with the money and application that shows that I am a valid permit holder. Is a copy of that along with my drivers license enough ? Looks to be a very educating class. Thanks for posting about it

Any article I read I take with a grain of salt these days. I'm a "seeing is believing" kind of guy. I also wonder if some articles purposely choose this gun or that gun even before the test starts. While there are statistical facts to back up how many times (enter gun here) ftf or jammed during the test there is also the tester and their opinion that has to weigh in. Honestly, I usually take away more from this board than I do from some rag mag on the stand at the grocery store or Wal-china. At least here I feel like a guy, or gal as the case may be, really has nothing to gain by coming on here and saying "this gun did this when I went to the range today" so they are more than likely not going to stretch the truth or mislead someone. At least that's how I feel when I read some of these threads. Even then I don't it word for word. I don't have a single gun on that list but own or have owned the some of the same brands listed. These are manufactured pieces just like anything else and we all know that mistakes can happen during that process. I feel like if someone buys any gun new and has issues it should send the owner running right back to the company. That's really the only way they know they screwed up or have a design flaw somewhere. Enough people start screaming and they might react to it. A good example is the remington 597.

I don't know. First pic screams FAKE but if you look at the article why in the world would anyone, to get their 15 minutes of fame, alter that many pics and then claim to have the Guinness people involved. I do think that first one was shot offset to make it appear bigger, but I think the one with bowser standing in the cab of that truck is the most natural looking. All I know is I WOULD NOT want to pay the feeding bill on him for a month, lol. You think your gun/ammo budget looks bad right now, just add "200 lb's" of dog food to the list every month The sad part is if he is that big I bet his life expectancy is probably much lower than a normal dane. Kinda like 2 legged giants and the worlds tallest man.

Although not having shot one I've been a happy walther owner for many years in their P99 series. I always tend to notice though that when a company goes off on a tangent and builds something new to compete it will either take a while to bring it up to par with their others products or it will fall flat on it's face and take an added effort to recover. Knowing Walther if there are flaws in the design I am sure they will be improved upon. I hope so at least, every gun I've had from them has been superb and it would be a shame to ruin the good thing they have going on.

At any given time you will find me with a Kahr MK9 or MK40. They are the steel framed Kahrs so not the lightest in the world but IMO some of the best little carry weapons made. Amazing accuracy for a 3" barrel and having a couple double actions you get use to the trigger pull. I find it odd you don't see more of them out there. It might be that others are like me, once you own them it's a little tough to let them go.

I've had a couple with the Tapco T6. Very nice rig. it has the adjustable buttstock so you just adjust it to what feels right.

Yeah I saw the video from the show. Looks very promising. I still wouldn't kick the saiga out of the safe though. That 20 round drum makes a huge smile now the .410 would be nice as an SBR setup. Seen them making a ton of customs out of the saiga .410.

soon to be my next purchase. Just looking for "that" deal on one. Slick piece

well the main roads don't seem bad enough to cancel anyway. Besides that I am sure there would be plenty of ticked off dealers if they did cancel. That being said, me and a couple buddies just called it a wash and decided it wasn't worth the trouble today. I mostly look for deals from the in-coming crowd which I can't imagine will be like normal. All the dealers will have their normal high gun, high ammo pricing and there is no doubt the stun gun guy is already buzzing it as we speak, lol. I hate to miss a show because you never know what's going to come in, but I think my $9 this time around is better spent online If anyone does go please give us a report.

Anyone have a report in the knoxville area ? I am up toward morristown and the back roads are just slush but nothing major. Plus it's just raining here now and channel 10's site shows 34 degrees.

It's unfortunate you can't trust more people these days. A sign of the times I guess. I had several good teachers growing up, and several valuable lessons taught to me. The gold standard now is trust NO ONE until that person earns it. Just because someone owns a gun doesn't make them trustworthy. This carries the same with gun show "dealers" whether behind a table or walking around a gun show. There are certain people I now know to stay the H*ll away from at shows. I've either been burned by them in the past or watched them buy a gun off on unsuspecting elderly person only to go back to their table and laugh it up with their buddies about how they put the screws to papaw. There is even one particular seller at local shows that's been known to have a record of B&E. Needless to say that person will never see $1 from me. Lucky for me I have a memory like a steel trap so if you do me dirty I NEVER forget about it.

ROFL, wow that last one really hit the spot.

Jacobs building show is a go for next weekend !

Went today. Wound up getting there around 10. Several standing outside enjoying the pretty weather and looking to buy and/or sell. First show I've saw 2 Fn 5.7's in a while. At least in this area. The one on the table the guy has isn't what I would consider a BAD deal considering he has the now taboo ammo in the package. I am still tempted to to throw down for one and probably should have made that purchase but held off. Several tables were empty, depending on what ammo you were after there were deals to be had. No 9mm or 40 to be bought cheap though. Several levers, several older military rifles, couple ak's, 1 or 2 walking sks', and a fair amount of AR's. Handguns were everywhere. Stayed the usual hour and a half and headed home with some gun sleeves. NO STUN GUNS TO ZAP EVERY 5 SECONDS , only jerky I saw was crockett creek , and everyone I talked with was pleasant. All in all not a bad show. I always go with a positive outlook and make the best out of it.

Yeah I have to say this show reminds me of the Lenoir City show that's put on once a year. Less jerky,tools,and burritos and MORE GUNS GUNS GUNS !

if your hammered

he have insurance ?

Pay your admission, don't try to hand them the rifle upon inspection or you will get a hilarious response, then prepare for the onslaught of "watch you got there ?" "how much for your (enter name here) ? " and the usual "is (enter price here) the best you will do ?" by the way, what rifle you bringing ? Might not make it that long depending on price and make I think the door opens at 9 or close to it. Last time they weren't that strict about that.

It wouldn't be complete without them,lol. But someone has to make up the difference I guess. Now that tazer guy that's someone that could use a good

Well if I am there you might see me. Just look for the tall ugly guy with a goatee, NRA hat, and overall's on

Went down a couple shows ago and it was over 150 miles round trip for me and a buddy. Several deals to be had depending on what you're looking for. Spotted a ruger 10-22 Bull Barrel in SS with a laminate stock for $325. Well worth the money but we passed and wished we wouldn't have now. Buddy landed a mak-90 for a sweeeet deal. Ammo was marked at it's "as usual" price, it's staged in a gymnasium type setting so it's not the largest venue around. But I am one to keep those smaller shows alive so it was worth it. I am even trying to work out going down to this one on saturday if I can work out my schedule.

All went the way I anticipated this weekend. I don't think the jets can beat the colts. And the vikings will have a tough time with the saints, although I would love to see 2 of the greatest QB's that the league has ever seen face off. That would be Favre and Manning in case you are wondering.
