I was wondering why, instead of buying all those fireworks, they didn't just go down to the local sporting goods store and buy some cans of black powder. I guess I'm glad they didn't.

I think they look very nice.

I'm not real fond of the fedora, but otherwise, I like the shirt.

Doesn't this jackass have his hands full with New York? No one has elected him ruler supreme of the U.S......yet.

The teacher should be fired immediatly; if for no other reason than being an idiot.   Is there a fund set up somewhere to help buy these kids more NRA shirts?

Well, you're gonna have to give us something to go on. Let's see some pictures of your old Winchester!!! For a date of manufacture, we'll need a serial #. What else are you wanting to know?     By the way, Welcome to the forum. :up:

All this teasing is killing me! :wall:

I guess I'll just display mine in a shadow box, as very little in the way of ar parts seem to be available at this time. :shake:

If those thugs came to my house; I'm shot. :stunned:

Yup.....so was a speedy trial and the death penalty.

I didn't realize the Cabbage Patch Kids had assault rifles!

Depends on what I'm carrying. I don't load for a 380, so I carry factory ammo in them. A 9mm is small enough that is seems somewhat difficult to handload. I don't have the desire to try and load anything smaller. Anything else is probably loaded with reloads.

I'm certainly no Herb Parsons nor Tom Knapp, but a Sunday afternoon spent blasting away is still a common family event here at my house.

Same here. :up:  :surrender:

To be honest and fair to you, most of the people I work with should have been fired long ago as well. Perhaps I expect too much from humans in general. Both jobs can be dangerous, although most are safe most of the time. As you said, there are many dangerous professions. I just wanted to highlight one I was familiar with.   I've had enough bad experiences with law enforcement employees over the span of my life to make it impossible to chalk it up to coincidence or bad luck. I'm glad your experience has been different.   Try not to take one guy's opinion so seriously, and you'll enjoy your stay on this crazy spinning ball much more.

Depends on where you are. These are a patchwork of local laws.

You be the judge. I work in the middle of the road for a living. Since the 50's, there have been over 100 TDOT employees killed at work, as well as countless contractors. I am regularly cursed, threatened, have garbage thrown at me, guns pointed at me, chased by dogs and livestock, etc. I am not allowed to carry a firearm for protection on the job.   I expect no recognition, praise, or anything else, other than the compensation agreed to between my employer and myself. I enjoy building roads and bridges. I believe it provides a valuable service to the public, even though many do not agree. I do not carry a chip on my shoulder, and do not understand why many with a badge do. Many people work in hazardous conditions. I've never known a police who was drafted into service. They chose the profession, and all that comes with it.

What does the bible say about buying beer on Sunday? I've never understood blue laws either.

From what I've seen, a good portion of them are just that. I NEVER said "all". We have some good guys up here; very few, but good guys. You keep trying to change what I say so you can get all butt hurt for some reason. Perhaps if the FOP would quit supporting and covering up for the bad ones, the good ones could get the respect they deserve.   An LEO has a job. He or she should be expected to do that job.  I've never understood why some of them expect to be put on a pedestal and honored for simply doing their job. We don't do this for other professions.

Looks as good as any other AR to me. It sort of favors a paintball gun.   It is sad that politicians believe this is somehow safer than a run of the mill AR.

When I was a child, a policeman was a man to be respected and looked up to. Today's LEOs aren't the same guys as the ones I grew up around.

I thought they did a great job catching the two suspects. Way better than the LEOs in California trying to catch Dorner. The worst I saw was some poor muzzle control by a few on news footage.

David won't kick you out for moving! Hang around here.

If you'll read my earlier post, I said as long as they were professional and courteous, I would invite them in to have a look around.                              I said most; not all.   Sounds like something a teacher would say. I guess union is union. Are you implying that I couldn't?

Was it chrome tanned or vegetable tanned? I've read you don't want to make holsters and the like from chrome tanned leather.
