Gander Mountain in Paducah, KY had one in their display case when I was there last week. I got to play with it a bit and really liked what I felt. Very ergonomic. I've been tempted to add one to the collection for a while now.

I take it you've never tried to have that done. It doesn't happen very easily. I know you're being trite but I think anyone who argues that angle should be forced to use a baseball bat to defend themselves while I'm shooting at them.

That's crazy talk there. Don't you know that while the state trusts you to carry your firearm most places, as soon as you set foot onto school property, a municipal park or a restaurant that serves alcohol, you instantly become someone who shouldn't be trusted anymore?

Nice choice!

No, not even that. Felony should probably = no carry, but should not = inability to defend yourself in your own home. Period. There are plenty of people out there who have made some stupid decisions and ended up with non-violent felony convictions against them. White collar crimes, for example. Should those people be stripped of their right to protect themselves and their family after they serve their time? Again, if we're talking about carrying then I can see the problem especially if it's a felony conviction for a violent crime. But a man's home is his castle and he shouldn't be deprived of his ability to defend it. Just my opinion.

I hate you. Can I shoot it?

To have a gun at home? Minimum standard = to be an American citizen. To carry it, I agree with your post.

Nah, I mean... it's the whole helmet. climbing gear, staring down at you from above thing.

Well, the easiest way is just to upload a file and it will create the gallery for you on the fly. http://www.tngunowners.com/photos/uploadphoto.php

Welcome welcome!

Seriously..... thats gonna give me nightmares.

I feel ya, brother. The camera is conspiring against us.

I sure would love to have another lower to build a 6.8 on...

People around here seem to absolutely love the Smith & Wesson J-Frame revolvers. I definitely would not want to be on the receiving end of a +P .38 Special hollow point out of any gun with a good shooter behind the sights. I guess my only recommendation would be to avoid the Airlite versions of the J-Frame since the recoil absorbing properties of such a light weight gun would probably suck really bad. Especially on "hot" cartridges. You can see the whole line of J-Frame revolvers here. Also, I'd do some homework first and make sure that any states you travel through would honor your Tennessee carry permit and that you wouldn't be in violation of any local laws regarding transportation of the firearm.

The easiest thing to do is upload your photo to our Gallery and then come back to this thread and post a reply. When you post the reply, click the button inside the thread rather than use the quick reply feature. When you use the full editor, there is a small link beneath the collection of smilies that will let you quickly add your photo to the post. The link is in a small area labeled My Pics and says [Open]. Click the Open link and you'll be shown a pop-up window that has your most recent photos. Choose the photo you want add, click it, you're done!

You're saving it for Eddie aren't you? You're the man!

HK P2000 LEM!!!

Things I've replaced on my truck to try and isolate the source of a really loud, really annoying squeak... Rear brake pads Rear rotors Rear drive shaft u-joints (front and back) Rusty splash guards behind rotors Things that I will have to replace to actually fix it now that we've figured out what is going on... Right rear axle shaft Right rear wheel bearing Right rear wheel bearing oil seal Turns out that somewhere over the past thousand miles or so, the rear axle got bent right where the passenger wheel hub is. Most likely right AT the wheel hub itself, and most likely because of the huge pot hole that the Smyrna utilities department dug in the middle of my street and that I found... with the truck... after dark while coming home one fateful night. They had filled it with gravel, but that never stays in place after a few cars start running across it. I remember seeing it in the headlights, swerving to miss it, and hitting it with the rear wheel... and that's the ONLY thing that I remember hitting that could have done this. Looks like my plans for next weekend just got made for me.

Wow... foster parents! That's an awesome thing, man.

Good looking family there, man! I completely understand that being the reason to carry. Those kids are precious.

I used to love archery. I hunted a few times with a PSE bow that I used to own and actually got a fairly nice buck out of it. Things got kind of effed up after an eye injury that made bow hunting fairly impractical for me anymore. Then I re-discovered modern firearms season, took my son with me once, and enjoyed that even more.

I saw a thread like this on another forum and while at first I thought it was kind of cheesy, the more I read through it the more fun it was obvious that everyone was having. It added a new dimension to the forum, honestly. So, in that regard... if you feel comfortable participating, post a picture of yourself. I realize some of you are in jobs where posting your face might be a security concern so feel free to use photos that were shot from angles that partially obscure your face, or blot out your face with a black box, whatever. This is my goofy butt shooting a full auto AR a few weeks ago down at Hero Gear.

I wholeheartedly agree.
