MacGyver

That's cool!

I like it!

Death in nature is never kind. You either die slowly of some wasting disease, or you die as you're being consumed by some other animal. Hunters have always known this, but I think it's good for all of us that the mainstream start coming along. I suspect that we won't necessarily see anymore people in the field, but we're the original "local food" people.

This is certainly an opening salvo in a much larger fight. In voting with the majority, Roberts definitely wrote the opinion more narrowly than it would have been written otherwise. While I would love to have seen it overturned, I'd rather see it repealed. It does set up the next battle. During oral arguments, solicitor General Verrilli was asked multiple times if this was a tax, and each time he answered, "absolutely, not.". Roberts wrote that this wouldn't stand under the commerce clause, but that it was okay as a tax. So now, Obama has "raised taxes on the middle class." I was always skeptical of making the argument based on the individual mandate. As much as I'd love to see the court decide that Wickard vs. Filburn was wrongly decided, both of our parties, and our whole modern Federal government are way to dependent on it to let it be overturned - or even weakened. This fight is far from done, and hopefully with the benefit of time we'll see how this was a strategic move. It sure doesn't help this small business owner right now, though.

Welcome to TGO. There are some great folks here.

Everybody take a breath and remember the rules. We have a code of conduct for a reason. Healthy debate is fine. Keep it civil, though.

That looks great!

I can see how having a girlfriend works out to be a better arrangement for you.

I know some folks like AA#7 because of the flash suppressant they add to it. I don't think you'd go wrong starting with #5, though.

The nice thing about copper sulfate is that it's not especially toxic, either. It's been included in chemistry sets for children for decades. You do need to be careful on disposal, though. It'll kill trees if exposed to the root system.

My goto home defense gun is suppressed. If I have to use it, I'm already going to have to explain myself. I figure I might as well be able to hear their questions.

Jim Vanderpool in Cool Springs is great!

I'm not sure that would fit in my safe. Pretty sweet, though.

It puts a smile on your face everytime you pull the trigger.

Or 338 Spectre. All the sexiness of 300 Blackout with heavier bullets.

Caster's got you pegged. +1

I like it! I like having the forward assist, too.

I've got a Kidd set at 8oz/1lb and have fired a 3oz/6oz. With the 3/6 you just have to know that you're the only one who's really going to be able to shoot it. Most people apply more than 6ozs. of pressure simply putting their finger on the trigger. With the 8oz/1lb, once you've taken up the first stage, it really only takes thinking about it to fire the weapon.

I carry a M&P 340CT, but expect I am outnumbered 100:1 in 442s and 642s. For that matter, I expect I'm outnumbered by NAA mini revolvers. The Kahr PM9 certainly should be on the list, though I expect in reality it's more "top 25" than "top 5". Any top 5 list that doesn't include a Glock 19 is bunk in my book, though. I mean, really?

Interesting. I'm going to be extruding my own brass before I'm done.

Shooting earsafe is fun. Suppressors make shooting more fun than it already is. Be careful, though. As many here can attest, once you buy your first suppressor, it will influence every firearm decision you make from that point forward.

Ammonia. Dab it on with a cotton ball or something. They'll be gone in the morning.

This type of thread is generally discouraged; they never end well. Three suggestions, in order: 1. If you've got a problem with someone, work it out via PM, email, phone or carrier pigeon. The key here is to do it privately. No one cares or wants to see all this drama played out in public. 2. Your name does contain the word "dealer". If you're also selling something on a regular basis, I can see how people get confused. Heck, I'm a little confused. You have the ability to change your screen name via your control panel. 3. If neither of the above work, report offensive posts and the moderating team will check it out. Oh, and just as a matter of semantics, do non- disclosure statements still apply if the company is no longer in existence? I've signed plenty over the years and always figured they would be moot if the agency/organization were no longer a viable concern.

I've got a 96 that just rolled 300k miles. It's been a great truck. I'd buy another one tomorrow if I could still get one with a standard transmission.
