At this moment, I own 4 black vehicles; purely by coincidence. :shrug:

I don't recall saying my kid wouldn't do anything. I was an idiot as a teenager, and I'd be a fool to not expect the same from my offspring. All we can do is buy insurance, teach them what they need to know, and keep an eye on them to a certain extent. They have to grow up, learn to make decisions, and learn about consequences.   As far as I'm concerned, I got into just as much crap with one buddy as I did with a carload.   I can't see, for example. two teenage couples going on a double date in one car being more of a threat to public safety than if they went in two cars.   It seems that personal responsibility is an outdated concept. :down:

Living in a rural area is quite different from living in town. We have to drive quite a distance to get much of anywhere. Although gas is cheaper, it is still a consideration for a teenage boy.   As far as the racing, I can't say what these boys would do, I was referring back to personal experience.   I guess my gripe is that I don't need the state of Tennessee to perform my parental duties for me.

Ya snooze ya loose!   Story of my life. :up:

I'd like to see a more comprehensive test. I'm not sure whether or not the age should be raised, but there's no doubt a driver's license, like a marriage license, is waaaaaaay too easy to acquire.   As to the age, I know 16 year old kids who are more mature that many adults. I also know 17-18 year old kids, as well as adults, who have no business operating a motor vehicle.   I'd like to see some of these people weeded out, or at least better equipped to drive.   My kid has been driving since October, and he's already been rear ended twice leaving school in the afternoon.

I have a kid that is 16. He and two friends wanted to go to watch the Chris Kyle movie today, as they were out of school for MLK day. All of them are 16. Since they are under 18, they have what is called an intermediate driver's license.   One of the many stipulations of this license is that they can't have more than one passenger under the age of 18. So legally, these three boys have to go in two vehicles.   This is a law passed by the same folks who pass laws to increase fuel efficiency in vehicles, and mandated High Occupancy Vehicle lanes on the interstate.   Do you think teenage boys would be more safe in one vehicle or more than one vehicles? I would expect them to race each other the entire way there and back if in more than one car.   Wouldn't they be doing less damage to the environment by carpooling?   Perhaps you could explain the reason for this? I don't get it.

It ain't a life changer either way, but five hours in a car is the only thing preventing me from getting it. I see a lot of 3031, some 4064, and several cans of 4350. All of which I use. I can't tell for sure what's in the cube shaped cans. Some pistol powder maybe?

Jump on it. Sell what you don't want. A looooooooooong drive and prior commitments are why I don't already have it.   Some of those real old cans have a collector following of sorts.

I saw it on GOC for $15 per can. Smell of it. If it smells like powder and not something rancid, go for it. I'm still shooting powder from cans that don't have a bar code. When did they start that? Late 70's, early 80's?   I figure if a man had as much powder as was shown in the ad, he likely knew how to properly store it.

Finally!   My boy was reading Craigslist this morning when he read me an ad. Expecting me to shoot holes in his idea like always, he was taken aback when I told him to tell the guy we'd come look at it.   We had to skip church this morning to try and beat the next guy to it, but there it was.  2004 Toyota 4x4 with an honest 83k miles. No dents, no problems, and in his price range.   I was beginning to think it didn't exist. I guess patience pays off. Now to get forgiveness for skipping church..... :hiding:

Tell the lady in firm language that because of her, there is now one more armed criminal in her neighborhood, and if she has a run in with him, don't even consider calling you for help. Maybe she could show him her sign.   That sucks. Sorry to hear it.

Lots of online retailers show a pretty good selection of 357 mag ammo in stock. Looking at the prices, however, I have to second the idea of reloading! That's what I do. I had no idea it had become so expensive.   You notice how 357 mag is nearly twice the price of 38 special? It's virtually the same price to reload.

First it's the dog; next she'll be coming after you! :stunned:   Seriously, the only difference I noticed in my dog is that he stays home more.

Just because something is newer doesn't always make it better. Stick with what works.

You've got it! :up:   Like PackinMama said, if you feel compelled to talk with him, don't spend the rest of your life in regret; do it.

Did he expound upon what would be the proper number of guns for America?

I always wondered where I put that. :ugh: Oh well.....

Really? I'm pretty sure every dog I've ever had had a run in with a skunk. I'm also pretty sure all of them were wise enough to give skunks a very wide berth after that.

If you're going to treat it rough, you might consider a set of Pachmayr grips for it.

I didn't see a bathroom in the room.

Purely personal preference.   Me? I own several of both.

See the large groove you've squeezed into the bullet? I can't imagine that would do anything for accuracy. I'd also be concerned about the plating separating. Think what if the back half of the plating comes off tha bullet and gets lodged in the barrel. What'll happen on the next shot?   If you want a good, firm crimp, get bullets with a crimp groove or cannelure.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions everybody! St. Simons appears to be exactly what I was looking for.
