MacGyver

Empires never last...   For those who are the praying type, I might add the following comments.  While I think that it's appropriate to pray for our country and leaders - it needs to be within context. The kingdom that God is concerned with was heralded about 1750 years before our Thomas Jefferson penned our declaration on behalf of the founding fathers.  One kingdom will last - and all others will eventually fail.   What does it mean for us then for the Kingdom of God to be here and now?  And, how does that affect our citizenship and our lives here in the United States (or any other country for that matter)?   I expect the the good Lord doesn't much care if Hillary wins.   As for most of the GOP field, I sure wouldn't look to them as some sort of proverbial savior.  As I read it, the Gospel is offensive on who it lets in - not who it keeps out.  How does that sync with most of the rhetoric you're hearing right now?

I've got an Airweight in .22 mag. It's a great pistol, but it's a heavy pull - probably at least 12 lbs.

Bad stuff can happen in good neighborhoods too. Pay attention out there, y'all: http://wkrn.com/2015/09/04/family-of-4-robbed-kidnapped-from-crieve-hall-home/

Morale is worth a lot... You might die anyway. Might as well have a friend along.

You're welcome to come check them out on my M4 in in person if you want to put your eyes on them before you buy a set.  

I run a set on my Benelli M4. To my 40 year old eyes, the rear dots on the ghost ring are small, but visible.  I  don't know how I'd feel about them on a handgun.

I try not to get to bent out shape - and I try to be courteous to others, too.   The only time other boaters really irk me is if I've got my kids in tow.  Then you need to give me some space and not act like you're trying to draft me.   I've almost quit JPP.  From where I am it's almost the same distance to put in on the Cumberland up at Riverbluff Park.  I find it a lot more pleasant out on the river due to a lot less traffic.

I've seen this happen on the other end.  A friend was using his practice arrows with broadheads when bow season started.  He shot a hog right above the shoulder in what should have been a good shot.  The broadhead penetrated ever so slightly, but was left in the dirt as the arrow behind it splintered.   The hog lived to see another day.

This one is done, too.

I'm just going to go ahead and shut this one down.

Jeff and Mike are great: http://www.eseeknives.com/2015-schedule.htm   Then these guys:  http://www.usrsog.org/index.htm  If you can get in on one of their classes when they schedule them, you won't be disappointed.  Their field manual my be my children's favorite book.

Yep, especially with suppressors, once you get one, pretty much every firearm decision you make after that is filtered through that lens. Good to see you on!

Nice!

Hey congrats!  Who would have thought on Monday that you'd be finishing this week in a lot better position than you started?

Congrats on making some progress through the mess.  We cannot choose where we start in life, but it sounds like you're doing an admirable job of making a good life for your family.   Let us know if we can help.  Seems like there's someone on here who's connected just about anywhere.

The question I would have is whether management knew of any of the other sales as a part of their investigation where the person was not fired today as a result. Consistency matters in Human Resources - especially when it comes to terminations. If it turns out they were selective, I might be inclined to discuss it with counsel.

And people think fences are expensive... Empire probably makes fencing look cheap ;) Texas has been talking about a fence for years - only they're talking about putting it on the northern border.

And, it might be worth discussing whether or not a fence or a wall represents an actual tool or if instead it's a political prop. In some cases these folks are traveling dozens of miles across inhospitable terrain. Do we really believe a couple of strands of wire - or even a larger fence will actually turn folks around?

I'm sure you could string some barbed wire up. I'm just suggesting that this proposal should likely be viewed from a pandering perspective as opposed to an actual policy persoective.

There are 1954 miles of border with Mexico. We issued 61,520 visas to Mexicans last year. Simple math will illustrate the problem with this proposal.

Congrats!

Are you at the Ag Center?

So when you post that up for sale in a couple of years, I'm guessing it's going to be listed with the number of rounds Rob gave you minus one? :)

Walmart sells what America wants to buy. Black rifles are the most popular rifle in America. I don't see them going anywhere.

I'd love to get some of us middle Tennessee guys together for some fishing one day. As a general rule my enthusiasm far exceeds my expertise. That said it would be fun to get a bunch of us out.
