  1. I bought this stuff about two years ago after I tore my biceps muscle and needed to do rehab at home. I've since recovered and have moved on to a larger home gym machine, so I no longer need these things. This is a pretty decent starter setup or will augment whatever you already have. The bench is in very good shape and was always wiped down after use to prevent sweat and salt buildup. There are four 10lb plates and and a total of six 5lb plates (only two are shown in this photo). All 5lb plates are identical to what you see here. Bars and plates are all 2-inch variety. What I paid for this stuff... Bench ($130) Plates ($130) Bars ($70) Total of $330 Will sell it all for $150. Local pick up in the Spring Hill / Thompsons Station area. Cash only. Not interested in any trades at this time.
  2. You'll use the screws that came with the Holosun. Only one of the three options will work. Go ahead and unscrew the 507K. Don't put the EPS on it yet. With the optic off, test fit the new screws FINGER tightening only. Don't even use a torx driver. Just see which pair threads into the holes on the slide. I wish I could give you a more accurate answer than that. I'm running the EPS Carry on my Macro using Holosun's screws, so I know it's one of the three sets.
  3. I have too much going on right now, so I skipped it this year. They seem to swing these shows between Indianapolis and Dallas, so I might hit it next year.
  4. HIGH probability that is a bad shoot. He's going to need a really skilled lawyer.
  5. Let me ask a question: Why does anyone believe that so-called Red Flag laws will work when you consider the other past cases of mass killings where law enforcement agencies had advance notice of threats or intent to do harm and yet still failed to stop the event? Think about that long and hard. The statement "The FBI/police were aware of [the individual]" has occurred so frequently in the aftermath of mass killings that it has become the butt of countless dark jokes. And yet... none of those agencies preemptively did anything to stop the killers. And in cases where a friend or family member knew the killer was making threatening statements ahead of the actual event, those friends or family members could have EASILY reported them to the authorities and potentially averted disaster. Threatening a person or group of people is already "assault". It is already illegal. A person guilty of making threats or threatening remarks can today be arrested and investigated for that! Further, arresting a person for making threatening remarks does not require that you adjudicate that person in advance, unlike filing for an emergency protective order under "Red Flag" provisions. It's actually a faster process. Conversely, if no one knows of the killer's intent ahead of time, no number of red flag laws would help. A killer that flies under the radar will never be stopped by these proposed laws. The only real difference between what we have now and what we will have if Red Flag laws are enacted is that gun owners will be subject to legalized and expensive harassment without the protection of due process. It's all bull#### meant to grab guns and preserve jobs for politicians.
  6. Red flag laws are gun control. Period. They don't do anything to stop a person from obtaining a firearm through means other than retail sales. They don't do anything to stop a person from committing assault with an improvised weapon of another sort. The just control gun sales and give the false impression that a politician has "done something". If we really cared about stopping mentally and emotionally broken people from harming other people, we'd do something about the screwed-up person. I mean, if only we had some clue that the Covenant shooter was in need of geniune psychotherapy.
  7. I would say that it also matters what they are told about the police by their peers, their community. But, yes. This is vicious cycle, unfortunately. All of it. In the 26 pages of this thread so far, I have read a staggering number of responses that amount to addressing the symptoms of a problem, but not many things that get to the actual root of the problem. Our culture is broken because we've allowed it to become broken. This occurred over literal generations of lifetimes, not all at once. We're perhaps seeing the decline of our culture accelerating now because the rate of decay has reached critical mass and changes are happening faster now than ever before, but it certainly did not all happen overnight.
  8. It's almost like a person's upbringing factors into how they perceive the police.
  9. Ooo.... I need to check them out. Thanks!
  10. The Streamlight Pro-Tac 2LX ($60) and Pro-Tac HL-X ($95) have both worked really well for me. They aren't as rugged as the Cloud Defensive stuff, and they don't put out the same candela or lumens as the Cloud Defensive stuff, but they have held up to a lot of casual carry and use.
  11. Sure, but just because someone is a true believer in something, it doesn't mean that the thing(s) that they believe in are valid, let alone right. What kinds of things do you see Jones shining the light onto? Anything truly good for the public?
  12. Shirking from public duty has become the sport of the educated and affluent. The same can be said for juries. When you consider how many smart, productive people find ways to get out of jury duty, you are generally left with people other than the best and brightest that our society has to offer. As we have been prone to say on TGO, we get the government that we deserve.
  13. Absolutely horrible.
  14. I thought this had to be a joke. I was wrong. There is also a very recent video of him speaking at a pulpit at what appeared to be a church somewhere, praying to "mother god" and inviting the spirits of deceased ancestors to speak through him. I was nauseated by what I saw, but encouraged that we've got to be closer to Jesus' return than ever before.
  15. Yet! Well, I hope one does NOT do that to you, but there are numerous reports of Olights injuring their owners, catching fire while charging, etc. If you want to roll those dice, I hope that the odds are always in your favor.
  16. Not all flashlights are created equal. Cloud Defensive builds hard use lighting here in the USA. The amount of output from these lights for their size is astounding, and they won't burn your house down like an OLight will. If another light does what you need, cool.
  17. Hey gang... This may be the weirdest thing that I have ever sold on TGO until now, but I have a brand new Diehard H7-AGM Battery that I simply do not need and perhaps someone here does. The H7 fits a multitude of vehicles, so you'll need to check the dimensions at the following link to see if it fits yours. I also understand that they work great for things like solar powered electric gates, homegrown UPS, additional battery for overlanding rigs, etc. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/diehard-platinum-agm-battery-h7-group-size-850-cca-1000-ca-140-min-reserve-capacity-for-high-electrical-demands-h7-agm/10210826-P?searchTerm=h7-agm I bought this in February in a bit of a desperate pinch because I thought my 2021 Ram 2500's battery was toast. Well, it was, but I got that one replaced under warranty so I just don't need this DieHard at all. MSRP is $271.99 without a core exchange, or $249.99 with a core exchange. I will sell this for $175 even. You'll need to pick it up from me in the Spring Hill / Franklin areas. It's far too heavy to attempt to ship.
  18. It was a struggle to listen to his message and not be distracted by the delivery style. Hopefully he has strong mentors in his life that will coach him a little and help him just be himself.
  19. So, absolutely all other things aside and without making nor implying anything "racial" about this issue... I watched Justin Jones address the legislature in defense of himself live on the Tennessee government's live-stream last week and really want to know: Does anyone really take that guy seriously when he alters his speaking style to sound like some sort of bizarre Saturday Night Live caricature of a Southern Baptist minister?? It struck me as being a mockery of Dr. Martin Luther King Junior's speaking style and, frankly, I found it appalling and offensive. Dr. King didn't gussy-up his speaking style. That was the way the man spoke, and he was brilliant and genuine. Jones, on the other hand, couldn't even maintain character during the short period of time that I listened. He would slip in and out of it, clearly demonstrating how fake it was. Dude just needs to be himself. His constituents elected him because they believed in him and wanted him to represent them well. This was just... weird.
  20. Geez, page two and this hasn't even been posted yet. TGO is slipping and falling prey to Chinesium products. 1st Pick: Cloud Defensive Handheld Lights Archives - Cloud Defensive 2nd Pick: Modlite Handheld Lights – Modlite Systems Both of those are lights for people who give a damn about having good tools and don't mind paying more for better quality kit. If you shop purely based on price, don't bother clicking the links because it might give you a heart attack.
  21. Summary Upgrade of forum software for April 2023 Explanation IPS Community Suite 4.7.9 Released 04/04/2023 This is our April maintenance release.

  22. If she had just stayed in town after visiting the families of The Covenant School, she wouldn't have to come back so quickly. Oh... wait.
  23. I'll check on this but it's probably because you are in the Inactive Member category. I can fix that but you'll need to visit more than once every few years to keep it alive.
