It's the Astral Overseers!! Check here for details: http://www.rocketworld.org/iwg.php Time is running out for us humans!!! "Tinfoil" Leroy

I like it!!! A grisley reminder to all who would tresspass. Leroy

It sometimes pays to do a little research before you buy high dollar property in urban areas. Leroy

Thanks to all have opined; especially mc for the load data. I like the PM 40 too (...as well as the Sig 238--- a "real" pocket gun for real small pockets!!!...). I believe i'll try to round one up. Again, Many thanks and kind regrds, Leroy

Amen brother! Many of the issues that brought on the civil war are coming to a crisis point today. The principal one is the power of an elite minority (...or ruling class...) to dictate policies to the citizens of the rest of the country that the majority (...or near majority; depending on how you count...) do not want. It is the ultimate hijacking of the concept of a representative republic by the dishonorable and despicable. At its core; it is the problem of a small elite group governing against the will of the citizenry. The ideal of a confederation or union of states died with Lincoln and his actions. Lincoln exchanged the ideal of state government for the iron fisted policies of the British Empire. Both Demorats and Republicans are guilty of continuing this policy. Keep up the good work. Leroy

What a great tool!! Looks good. Kind regards, Leroy

All:___________ here is a geat piece by Thomas Sowell regarding justice stephens. Interesting read: Link is here: RealClearPolitics - Good Riddance! Leroy

amen brother!!! I heartily agree. What a bunch of weenies!!! Keep up the good work. Leroy

Wish I was closer!! I would love to attend. Kind regards, Leroy

All:___________ Just did a search on GunsAmerica (...link here: GunsAmerica - Search - Guns For Sale & Gun Auctions B"H ....). A total of 96 guns for sale were returned (...Gunbroker showed 242! link here: Revolver - Online Gun Auction - Revolver at GunBroker.com...) All looked to be the "old time" 38, 357, 22lr, and 44 special (...that’s what put Charter Arms on the map to begin with...). Robert appears to be exactly right. Charter is doing plenty of business with the old time calibers. Aint it great that arms manufacturers like Charter are busily arming America!! Kind regards, Leroy

Amen brother!!! By the way: RE CK1's Post and opinion: The same issues that are critical in today's world were the issues that fueled the Civil War. They are the issues of the power of various states to band together with the central government (...the Federal one...) to demand that other states pay tariffs (...taxes, in the old vernacular...) and submit to federal edicts that ran counter to the wills of those individual states. Abraham Lincoln was far from a "great uniter"; he was a tool of northern special interest seeking to control the southern states. As some great scholar said; Lincoln exchanged the idea of a union or confederation of states for an empire not unlike the British Empire. Whether you choose to believe it or not; you have far less freedom today than you did before the Civil War. The civil war wasn't all about slavery, as some history revisionists would have you believe. Thus endeth the lesson Leroy

Mace:_____________ I have a Glock 33 that I EDC carry in an Allen Miller Kydex pocket holster. The glock 33 and the 357 sig is a great cartridge/pistol combination. Mine is extremely accurate and reliable. We have worked up handloads that chronograph an honest 1275FPS out of this little pistol (...3.1 inch barrel...) using 124 grain JHC's. It is no problem to hit the 8 inch diameter rounds that the action pistol shooters shoot at 25 to 30 yards with great regularity in aimed fire. I have fired 300 to 400 rounds of these handloads thru this little cannon with no failures to feed. Recoil is brisk; not any more unmanageable than full house 45 ACP rounds in a 1911. Now that that the ammo situation is loosening up; ammo should be no problem. I heartily recommend the 357 sig. It is everything that was claimed for the 9mm in the early eighties. I like it because it will honestly duplicate the ballistics of a 357 mag (...125 grain bullet...) in an extremely small package. Hope this helps Kind regards, Leroy

Roland S. Martin is a history revisionist with an agenda to advance. That agenda is that anyone who opposes the Oligarchy (...the federal government...) is a traitor and terrorist. He follows the lead of another great communicator --- a fellow by the name of Joseph Goebbels. Goebbels lied for "Der Furhr" just like Roland S. Martin is lying for the radical hippy idiots that are striving to re-write the history of the United States. Roland S. Martin would have us believe that over half of the officer corps of the prewar US Army who followed their consciences; who graduated the USMA, served honorably prior to 1861; then resigned their commissions to join the Confederate Army (...men like Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, JEB Stuart, and others...) are terrorists --- baloney --- they were (...and still are...) patriots. Don't worry about what Roland S. Martin has to say; he is a political hack. History will not remember Roland S. Martin. It has remembered and honored those that he has shamelessly lied about and slandered. Food for thought. Leroy

Dear fellow TGO folks:____________ I am thinking about purchasing another pocket type pistol with plenty of punch to provide a "sunday go to meeting" pistol to allow my Glock 33 to rest. I like the single stacks; either a Walther PPS or Kahr PM series pocket gun. My questions for you all to ponder are these: Which caliber in your collective experience is the most inherently accurate (...dont worry about the discussion of controlability; i understand that one...)? How accurate is the load you like? What factory self-defense loads do you like? What handloads do you use for practice? Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Leroy

Done. Leroy

Great advice. In earlier times, back into the 60's it was well known and accepted that the shortest barrel length for RELIABLE operation on the 1911 was the "commander Length" or 4.25 inch barrel length (...that's why Colt only made two barrel lengths then; 5 and 4.25...). There were several enterprising attempts to cut the 1911 back further, but for the most part, they were failures due to poor reliability. That being said, there have been great advances in the manufacture and engineering of these new, short (...3 inch length...) 1911's. I suspect that the newer ones by folks like Kimber, SW, Springfield, STI (...and others...) are plenty reliable because of these advances. My problem with them is that they lose sight radius (...an important part of the handgun shooting equation...), bullet velocity, and (...as some have said...) reliability as the barrel gets shorter. I like the 4 to 4.25 inch barrel for a "compact" 1911. In spite of what some folks say, a 45ACP is a powerful handgun with a pretty good recoil. It takes a fair amount of practice to shoot one proficiently. The fact is, that anyone can do it; but it takes some practice and getting used to get proficient with it. I suspect that the 9 mm would work better in the shorter barrel lengths. The proficiency curve would also be better due to the lower recoil on the 9 mm. By the way, it has been my experience that barrel length has no appreciable affect on accuracy (...from the mechanical perspective...). From the shooter perspective, the effect is large. It takes much more practice to shoot well with a short barreled pistol. You simply have to hold closer to do it; and that takes more practice. Hope this helps Kind regards, Leroy

John:___________ Nice lower start. Have you seen this: Rainier Arms, LLCâ„¢ | Manufacturer . Stark pistol grip. Put one on my last lower. I like the integral trigger guard and the bigger grip. Kind regards, Leroy

Amen brother!! Very wise post, indeed!!! PS--- MORE NEWS. CHECK THIS OUT: http://www.gallup.com/poll/127262/Democratic-Party-Image-Drops-Record-Low.aspx#1 Keep up the good work. Kind regards, Leroy

This may give some interesting perspective: Freikorps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is not a real good summary of the Freikorps; but you can get the general idea from reading it. The Freikorps was essentially a group of militias with muscle. I believe the Freikorps idea and organization was much closer to the idea of being put out with all government (...state, local, federal...) plus extreme nationalism. Bad economic times tend to breed problems everywhere. Germany after WW1 was an economically devastated country (....Marshall Foch, the great French WW1 general predicted that the economic reprisals taken against Germany would result in another war in 20 years. Naturally, the politicians didn't heed his admonitions when they piled the punishments on to Germany after WW1 in the Versailles Treaty (...Which the idiotic Woodrow Wilson agreed to to get the "great" League of Nations...) -- he missed the WW2 war date by about 6 months....). It is well worth the time to read closely about what happened in Europe at the end of WW1 from an economic and historical perspective; especially in Germany. Check this picture out: I love the death's head!! Food for thought. Leroy

All:_____________ Interesting read. In the Cleveland Plain Dealer no less!!! Kevin O'Brien: Who's afraid of a little Tea Party? Everyone, fortunately | - Opinions, Editorials, Letters and Columns from The Plain Dealer - cleveland.com Here's the "great quote": I heartily agree!! Keep up the good work! Leroy

Amen brother!! What a great thought!!! I salute your insight!1 Keep up the good work. Kind regards, Leroy

They MAY fly right at the edge of the day/nite horizon; OR just warp it up so fast ya cant see them in the day. They MAY also turn on their "invisibility cloaking device" so ya cant see 'em. They MAY actually drag the nite around with them. Kind makes ya wonder doesn't it!!? Leroy

All: _____________ Got a solution to this whole nuclear proliferation thing. I propose that we sell one old model hydrogen bomb (…might help lower the debt…) to every bonafied nation that doesn’t have one. That will end the nuclear race and make sure that everyone has one. We can do one more atmospheric nuclear test, and get everyone up close so they can see the blast, feel the heat, and view the destruction first hand. We could also do a worldwide TV feed to every nation and make sure the individual citizens watch. We can then show them how to arm the bomb and send it to each new "nuclear" nation. Just before each representative leaves this country, we will tell him (...her, or it...) that they are personally and corporately responsible for their individual bomb. We can further state that in the event that a bomb goes off on American soil (...or the soil of our allies...); that we will re-count the bombs and punish the guilty with some real, modern bombs. No questions asked, no appeals, no "I lost it", no “terrorists stole it", no nothing, no excuses -- period. Of course we would never do this; but it's great to think about. This country is under the curse of stupidity. It seems that it is impossible for us to do anything right. Food for thought. Leroy PS--- Nobama is a cynical deluded little man in a great big job. He has nuts advising him. He craves adulation and worship from the world. This is simply another way to get more accolades from his socialist buddies over in Europe. After all, he is the “smartest guy in the room”.

Yeah, I believe in them. They got the crafts stored at Area 51. A few select earthlings fly them around the whole world at nite. The alien pilots are in the "big secured underground supersecret chambers" at Wright-Patterson AFB. They been there since 1947. PS--- got me tinfoil hat on. Waiting on them to make contact!!! Leroy

Dear TNT:______________ You have posed a thoughtful and important question for all who value the blessings of liberty to think deeply upon. I never believe that the news media (...there are a few exceptions...) will report objectively and truthfully on any political liberty issue. That makes it hard to read about them. You have to hunt for them. That being said; here is how I would judge any real political victories for those who value liberty and are grieved at the losses. Here goes the test: 1. Does the issue or action increase individual liberty; or does it simply lessen the limits already placed on an activity? A great issue here is the Second Amendment. Do not be deceived, the handgun carry permit issue (...which we see as a good thing...) is a restraint to what the Second Amendment originally said; not a restoration of a right that is in the Bill of Rights. 2. Does the action shrink the size of government or lessen regulation of some activity? 3. Does the action increase your ability to use your own private property the way you choose? 4. Does the action allow increased freedom in business, financial affairs, etc? When you apply these little questions to actions and decisions taken by government (...both Federal and State...); you will see a constant eroding of freedoms at the Federal level perpetrated by both Dem and Republicans and a push back at the state level. I sincerely believe that we are again at the exact juncture in history that the state and federal governments were on the eve of the Civil War. The Federal Government is moving to tighten its power and the states are pushing back. I don’t believe that this means that another civil war is coming; I do believe that a showdown of sorts is coming between the states and the federal government. This show down will happen in the state legislatures and the courts if the federal government continues on its present course. That being said; I'm not sure that things will continue as they have because there are some great signs of change at the grass roots level in the "Real America" (...the America that pays taxes, works, etc; as opposed to the "socialist america" that is on the dole and is clamoring for more entitlements...). It may even start to correct its course in the 2012 elections if the Republicans win big (...which I think they will...). I believe, as 1gewehr does that there have been some victories; but they happened several years ago as his post says here: I believe, as he does, that this hard left socialist agenda will be countered in the next election. Carter failed miserably and said bad things about America. He was thrown out in a landslide by Reagan, the last real republican president of modern times (...to date...). I believe that most folks who value liberty hold both the Dems and Republicans in contempt at this juncture in history. The fact is, that the republicans are just as guilty as democrats for allowing a socialist hack like Barak Obama to become president by running a weak RINO Republican like McCain (... who I admire on a personal basis for his courage and military service; but detest because of his autocratic, nutty political stands...). The fact is, that there is a sobering message to both political parties moving thru the "Real America" (... the one that works and pays taxes...). That message is that both parties had better move to increase freedoms, stop the anti-capitalist regulation, limit the size and power of government, shrink the size of government, stop the give-away of entitlements and dollars, and quit borrowing money we don’t have; or both parties will be swept away and marginalized by those that do believe in those values. That's how I see things this morning. Thanks for asking such a great question! Kind regards, Leroy
