  1. I thought this was an SNL skit. allied law firm commercial - Google Search
  2. Welcome in. OK Corral in Woodbury is fine for outdoor. They have several ranges and a pit for the things you can't do on the laned ranges.
  3. US Revolver top break 38 S&W in hardwood case with US flag lining. % round, 5 inch barrel. This one functions but I've never shot it. Finish is very weak with some pitting. Needs a good cleaning and a new home as I have no space for display pieces. Inside the case are two Pinkerton and one New York Central Railway badges, three large and three small Pinkerton coat buttons, one painted gold railroad spike. I have one box of vintage ammo and one box of new ammo I will include. I can send higher res pics but I can't resize them to upload to the ad. No documentation but this was someone's retirement remembrance. $300 firm on this, yes you might find one cheaper but not with the extras.
  4. Irony of me just seeing this yesterday is my wife told me the fire department was at her school today. Two students were drunk, one was passed out and had to be hospitalized for alcohol poisoning, She works in a middle school. I drank a lot when i was young, again when I went through my second divorce and carpal tunnel. You just have to take my word that self medication for pain with alcohol will spiral. After getting out of the service I didn't drink a drop for 12 years. Now if I want a beer or a drink I can have one or two without turning into 15. It' is very rare.
  5. I have one I wouldn't part with but this is similar. Marketplace - Trek Trikester | Facebook
  6. Don't mess with a man's garden! I'm surprised there wasn't a cop in McCall's parking lot. Oh wait, Dixie banned the PD after her third ticket.
  7. WIKI says it is owned by the city and the primary tenant of the park. They are probably using the children gathering clause. A part that needs to be struck down or eliminated since we can't k ow if there is a school function in a park at any given time or day. (burden of proof)
  8. Agreed. A New 1911 will need break in time. Try different ammo and see what it likes. Some will not like hollow points and require a competent 1911 gunsmith. I have not personally had any issues with 1911s or with the Para 14.45 I had. I have a nearly new RIA now and can't wait to get it to the range. I might change sights as it is a GI model. Once I'm confident it is running 100% I plan to put all stainless controls on her just for looks. A good 1911 usually needs nothing and most are "upgraded" because they weren't broken in. One thing leads to another until you have a money pit that never really needed anything.
  9. Sorry about the pear tree. We have almost 2 inches here. Road was black ice this morning and probably will be again in the morning. Very few cars passed today. And I have to go to the office in Antioch in the morning. Just the thought has my butt puckered.
  10. I've learned not to ask how stupid can people get, they take it as a challenge.
  11. Simpler solution, stop making people leave firearms when they should be carrying them.
  12. If I need a bayonet on my home defense gun I have made serious tactical errors. I do admire a good trench gun though.

    Revolvers

    I had to look that one up. I thought you had to use a six inch or longer barrel for hunting. Learned something new. If you compare ballistics between 30-30 and 357 magnum you might be surprised. I'd be comfortable with either within 50 yards with open sights. I'm a fan of 357 mag, so much so I want a Coonan.

    Revolvers

    I think I am seeing a slight change in what is being produced. A few companies have released or shown all metal versions of poly framed autos. I believe that people who have purchased what old timers consider carry a lot shoot a little pistols find their footing as shooters they will branch out. S&W, Ruger, and Taurus have released new wheel guns over the last 6 months including the single action Deputy from Taurus. I believe they have well educated marketing individuals who are trying to predict (or create) a trend towards revolvers. I only own one modern revolver at this point but there are several on my list of "wanted". Most of what I yearn for are higher end pieces so they don't get the priority of the auto loaders but the want is still there. Single shot break action shotguns haven't died so I don't see revolvers going away ever. rather than edit adding here; some of the "new" revolvers out or coming are the same designs with some little twist.
  15. call me cheap. I like this idea. I use a good backpack now with the plastic boxes most of my pistols came in. Amazon.com : TIDEWE Tactical Range Backpack Bag for Gun and Ammo with Pistol Case (Black) : Sports & Outdoors
  16. I can respect this. I think if you knew you were going to a gunfight you'd take a rifle anyway. Handguns are defensive. we could have a long conversation on the Biblical side of arming oneself.
  17. and THAT'S how I broke both arms,,,at once.
  18. Facebook
  19. I have a commercial version in blue that my dad bought in the early 70's when we still lived in Toledo. Needs the fur replaced from overheating in the dryer. My Mother was an excellent seamstress and wouldn't attempt it. I have the equipment to do it but not the skills. Find a saddle maker/leather worker with experience. And let us know if you find someone, I might find a piece of fur and get mine fixed. Yes, warmest coat I've ever seen. I don't care if It looks ancient, it's freakin' warm.
  20. I wonder if the same trainers that tell us to be alert, that criminals do not want hard targets, are the ones who preach against OC because you would be targeted? The only time I have ever heard of criminals attempting to rob an known armed person(s) was Bullseye Gun in Murfreesboro. Staff is usually concealed but they are known to be armed.
  21. I have to add: all of the dems blaming the GOP for not negotiating should be publicly censured for using such tragic deaths for their own political ladder. Generalizing, it was liberal oversight that allowed a troubled teen to be in a public school unsupervised where he killed two young people. The edit: (Antioch) legislator that has been on channel 2 several times has yet to present a solution and has only tried to place blame. More laws will not deter the lawless actions of others.
  22. I haven't heard anything of this young man's family except he has a sister who goes to JFK where my wife works. The fact that he was a student where she works is what gives me so much concern. I do know that he is mixed and wife believes he is part Indian. Obviously he was known to authorities to be a threat and why they were not monitoring him I cannot imagine. Am I surprised? Not in the least.
