To me, a tattoo screams "I'm unemployable!"   I expect the tattoo removal business will be booming in a few years.

Pitch looked high and outside to me. :wave:

You are correct in what you say. What you fail to see, however, is that as long as the FOP continues to cover for these select few a##holes, you will all be lumped in together.   If you'd like LEO to once again be a noble profession, you and others need to fight to purge the garbage from your ranks and not support and protect them.   Remember the old saying "A few bad apples ruin the whole bunch."

I would suggest you take several backpacks full of cash! Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge is the most expensive tourist trap I've ever had the misfortune to visit.

+1!!!! :up:  :up:

Turn off the T.V.!!! If not, turn it on the History channel to get your fix of the revolutionary war.

:-\ Huh? I thought it was the redneck Riviera.   I've spent quite a bit of time in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, and find the people there to be very friendly. I don't recall ever seeing many LEOs, and certainly haven't been harassed by any of them about carrying, or any other issue for that matter.   As JAB stated, in Florida, concealed means concealed!   I find Alabama to be at least as carry friendly, if not more so, than Tennessee.

What difference do you feel between a milled receiver and a stamped receiver when firing the rifles?       I bought a WASR on a lark a few years back. I thought my kids would get a kick out of shooting it. I didn't have any interest in one personally. After shooting it, I became quite the fan.   I also bought an AR a while back. After shooting it, I'm not that impressed. It doesn't fit me correctly, the adjustable stock pulls your whiskers, and it just feels cold and uncomfortable to carry or shoot.

Not only should it kill a deer cleanly, an M44 should roast one to about medium rare at close range. They look like a blow torch when fired at dusk!

Looks good to me! I'm too lazy to stitch around the belt loops.

In the past, I have been quite critical of LEOs in general. Being in a position of authority, I hold them to a higher standard than the general population.   I will give credit where credit is due, however. A few weeks back on hwy 109, I saw a trooper helping an older lady change a flat tire. I admire this gentleman, and wish I knew who he was so I could contact his superior and commend him. I hope his spirit catches on within the LEO community. :up:

You are right. Miroku builds some top quality guns, and has for years. Winchester is a name, however, that has meaning to me. It was bastardized in 1964, and keeps getting worse. I will say the Miroku products are vastly better than most of the later USRAC stuff. I'm told the FN made model 70s are better than the USRACs as well, but I haven't got my hands on one yet.

I guess I'm just too picky, but a Japanese Winchester just doesn't seem right to me.   I also don't understand why 44-40 wouldn't be the first chambering released.

It all depends on how much you want to spend and how long you are willing to spend mowing the lawn. I still recommend an older, used rear engine Snapper.

Who in heck is buying up all the 30-30 bullets and ammo, and why??!!???

Truck stop of flea market would be the first places to look.

You got tomorrow night's lotto numbers too?

Is that a high capacity shaker?

Where did you get that paint? Was it hard to find?

I never understood why ARs weren't made like that to begin with.

An accurate, reliable high powered rifle that shoots inexpensive and readily available ammunition for a hundred bucks and change. What else could you ask for? Fries and a drink?

He has his own built in desk to write on! If he has a health card, I shouldn't have much trouble.

There was once a company, I believe out of Florida who sold ammo. I do not think they are still in business. I have no knowledge of the factory ammunition, but their brass was headstamped "A-MERC". It is of the devil! You will have every sort of imaginable trouble trying to reload it. Primer pockets out of spec, some pieces get hung in your resizing die, heads pull off, etc.

...yet it is one of the many required items you bring with you to take the written test. Don't you just love government?   I believe our maintenance division has some provision for administering the pre trip and driving test in-house.   What I need first is to get through the written test. I'm going to leave teaching me to drive a truck to my employer.
