  1. I am confused... Are the guys in that video pulling them from the car not wearing Police labeled gear? I know this is just an example, but is it not the reverse of the situation? Though some context as to why this particular car was swarmed, windows smashed, and tires slashed would need to be in place to know what went on.
  2. No one protesting that got a video that justifies his actions is going to come forward. If he is lucky a concerned citizen bystander might have got something on film. Otherwise this WILL be a VERY uphill battle for him. In addition to his employer dropping him, I foresee his car insurance doing it also. Every business he works with is going to make him a pariah. On the other side, when civil cases come forth, I am betting a well versed big time lawyer is supplied to the protester by unknown sources. In addition, we can look for much larger protests in this area to show opposition to him. Plus with the last few years, most police officers will be shy to stop the protesters for fear of being dismissed and seeing lawsuits themselves. They need a paycheck for their families too.
  3. I get to retire 5 years after I am dead...... Seeing the costs my Dad paid to keep my Mom on insurance after he retired, I know there is no way. I think it was in excess of $900 a month. He still ran basically a full time job doing landscaping just to cover that. With my bounced around 'career' I have only been able to build so much of a 401k. Hopefully we will not still have a mortgage and the kids will be on their own, but there is no guarantee in any of that. All it takes is one bad medical issue and all your savings is gone. I like eating, so makes me nervous.
  4. So if a few boxes fell of the truck.. wink wink. LMAO
  5. It is capitalism, so it is what it is. The thing that will burn people up is to find that a lot of these "pros" that I know a bit about in my area are pulling a disability check but are fit enough to run around flipping ammo and guns. It burns me that on some of those guys, I am paying for them to sit there and get ammo to flip. By the way, I have also heard several accounts that are much more chaotic than David's. People running through the clothing section trying to shortcut to the ammo aisle. Not quite Black Friday at Wal-Mart bad, but close.
  6. From the WBIR article. "The property, part of an incentive to open in Blount County, will return to the Blount Partnership" So basically, the deal was never even really done or else he would own it. I am guessing he got some up front cash and has burned through all that. Makes me wonder if they published that on 9/11 to lower itsimpact. Also which politician benefited from the original announcement of job creation.
  7. Cute kids. Congrats, Makes me tired just remembering having a newborn in the house. lol
  8. I do think the 30-30/20ga covers the widest range of things in this area. Only better I could wish for is they made a few with 12ga barrels. They also made a .308/12ga option toward the end of making the Model 24, but finding one of those is not likely at a price I would want to pay. I have others in different calibers, but they are not quite as versatile, but it is still a fun time shooting them.
  9. I can say it does good sitting on top of a 20ga barrel on my Savage 24. (Not mine, but looks just like it aside from my scope)
  10. We had a deck planned this fall...oh well...
  11. That looks like it belongs to a Mexican Cartel boss for some reason. lol
  12. David has not been looking at the right guns...
  13. So how many of my morals do I have to compromise to get one of those....Glocks....... I am flexible....
  14. If you haven't seen the needs to be prepared before, you may have changed your mind this year. Take a look at suggestions for preparing for disasters. I detail info on my site: http://leveledsurvival.com/2020/09/01/september-is-national-preparedness-month-and-it-means-more-than-ever-in-2020/ Planning by the Levels Emergency Kits FEMA also has info on Ready.gov: https://www.ready.gov/september#:~:text=National%20Preparedness%20Month%20(NPM)%20is,%22Disasters%20Don't%20Wait.
  15. I am guessing with a ton if powder on site that I would question the safety of a lot of the items that "survived". Even brass might have gotten to hot and have unseen flaws now. Not really sure how widespread it was and what areas also got drenched by the fire hoses.
  16. I remember getting scolded by my mom as a kid after a day of sliding down a red clay bank. My underwear were orange on the back side. No way to get that stuff out.
  17. I have my .22s Rhom 10 for that reason. lol
  18. I could have bought one of those a while back. lol
  19. Shows you how much I DON'T know about British TV.. lol I will just keep discussing swallows over here in my corner.
  20. I love Monty Python. Never got into much else. The wife loves Downton Abbey and the daughter is a huge Office fan by conduit of the American series. Still got 2 pairs of Docs I picked up in London the only time I got to go. I used to be sort of a fanatic about them. What I get for working in a boot store. One is pretty much one of a kind before they became cookie cutter. Kinda looks like a union Jack and rebel flag mixed. Really loved my time there. I spent most of it in Derbyshire doing volunteer work. Ah, college days...so much more free time...
  21. Nice! I am trying to get my regular workbench together. My plan is to drill holes and have a a board mounted with a press when I start reloading that I can quickly bolt to the top and then remove again.
  22. I would hope not his maiden voyage at 1/2 a mile high. Long way to fall.
  23. Airline pilots report seeing ‘guy in jetpack’ flying near LAX during approach https://www.foxnews.com/us/los-angeles-american-airlines-pilot-jetpack-near-lax An American Airlines pilot in California reported seeing a “guy in a jetpack” flying roughly 3,000 feet above-ground as he was nearing Los Angeles International Airport, according to a recent report. The American flight 1997 pilot was roughly 10 miles away from LAX on Sunday evening -- while it was still light out -- when he spotted the unusual sight and notified authorities, local affiliate FOX 11 Los Angeles reported. “Tower, American 1997, we just passed a guy in a jetpack,” the pilot can be heard saying in radio transmissions obtained by the news station. When the air traffic controller asks whether the pilot said the person was on the right or left side of the plane, he responds: “Off the left side, maybe 300 yards or so, about our altitude.” The Federal Aviation Authority told Fox News the sighting happened shortly after 6:30 p.m. local time. A second pilot then piped in, according to the report, telling air-traffic control: “We just saw the guy passing by us in the jetpack.” It's not clear what happened to the jetpack-traveler, who had not been located as of Monday night. An FAA spokesperson told Fox News said the agency "alerted local law enforcement to the reports, and is looking into these reports." The LAPD did not immediately respond to Fox News’ requests for comment.
  24. Hello
  25. Finally figured mine must have just been basically unused even though I bought it new. Have not shot it a lot, but I don't have as much of an issue as I used to.
