  1. I understand the nervousness. I've got $3k of scope and rifle awaiting assembly and I'm just not comfortable doing it myself.
  2. If you want BBQ ribs, then you're not getting them at Rendezvous, they don't serve them. They serve seasoned, chargrilled ribs. It's not the same thing. I second Central, or my favorite, The BBQ Shop over on Madison. Like anywhere in Memphis, CY is hood-adjacent. Good area, great food, relax and enjoy yourself.
  3. Psst! Look at the arms of the dude. Check out his tattoos.
  4. Temp setting has the mobile skin working now. Thanks.
  5. Yep. The top menu attempts to size correctly but the rest of the page does not.
  6. Haha. I agree with you there. Amusingly enough, I have some folks on social media platforms who actually know this gent. He apparently ran with a neo nazi crew in the 90s. So whatever his story is, I bet it is an interesting one.
  7. "The black delegation see your white rappers and raises you a black klansman."
  8. I think whomever runs Glock has been hanging out with Wendy. That's legit from their FB page. I took the screen cap myself.
  9. I recommend laying it down slowly.
  10. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/08/08/p320-failed-without-even-dropping-no-plans-test/
  11. Goodnight, Glenn Campbell.
  12. With the growing number of sources and easy repeatability of the result by each new batch of testers, I am having a hard time dismissing this. It appears to be a legitimate problem that definitely needs correction.
  13. My vote is shrink the government to match the revenues. If government is providing a service folks actually value, they'd be willing to pay for it voluntarily instead of at gunpoint. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.
  14. Well, I don't reload, yet. Just don't have the time. I forgot to add "Trophy Grade" to the description. It's finished factory ammo.
  15. 5 boxes of Nosler 165gr Accubond .308. Cabela's has them marked down to 30.74 a box.
  16. In the interest of clarity, let me say that I never meant to infer that it was for the PD budget. I know those fines are directed to the municipality's general fund. That doesn't change the purpose, just who is behind it. As an example, the DOJ report after the Ferguson riots detailed how the municipal government exerted pressure on the PD to increase ticketing to generate more revenue. Or for another, less contentious example closer to home, Piperton as previously mentioned derives a large amount of its budget from traffic violations. The two biggest giveaways that the purpose of the traffic enforcement is for revenue generation are pretty easy to spot. Does the municipality have traffic/petty fines listed as an expected revenue source in its budget. Does the municipality report the infractions to the state or does it just keep the records, and revenue to themselves or "dismiss on court costs"? Here's a great op ed on the subject from last year. https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckdevore/2016/10/26/police-collected-fines-fees-and-forfeitures-how-does-your-city-rank/#6dea23525202
  17. Anybody got the over/under on how long it takes for a resignation?
  18. It is only ever about the revenue. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying. Granted, they may be lying to themselves as well, but they are most definitely not in relationship with the truth on the subject. If it wasn't about revenue, then they would employ other methods to get folks to slow down. As an example, Covington employs empty squad cars posted in highly visible locales along 51. I've seen this tactic used in Dayton, OH and other municipalities before as well. You never know if the unit is empty or not, and folks slow down because of that. If the officer or detection device is not highly visible, if their presence is concealed or minimized (such as the trend in making the paint schemes less obvious so that they blend in with surrounding traffic better) then their purpose is revenue generation. Increased "public safety" is at best a byproduct, and more often just a convenient pretense.
