yep. this isn't the day you want to come home with only the .32 in the front pocket. unless you can hit him where it hurts, and if he's on steroids, that target just got smaller by half....

packingheat, can you expand on this a little? I just got a visual of a door small enough that only a squirrel can get in with a little door knob and a little welcome mat out front. I'm wondering what the "gotcha" moment is for the squirrel. I suppose once they are used to getting in through the door, you remove the welcome mat and turn the deadbolt on the door. They can't get in anymore because they no longer remember how to get in without using the door? might work... I think I saw this once on an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies. Jethro was coming up with a way to keep the squirrels out of his vittles....

Anyone here still use a Barami Hip Grip to carry their J frame?

I had a similar problem in the first little house we lived in. Every few months or so, my land line would go dead. Call Ma Bell and they'd come out and find a wire chewed off at the end of my gable end in the attic. Guy told me it was probably a squirrel. I learned how to strip the wire and repair it myself until I got tired of climbing into the attic in the middle of August in Memphis. Finally went to a lawn and garden center and bought some poison peanuts. Never had a line chewed after that.

Remove the word "Paul's" from this sentence and most people would think you were talking about Reagan.

Tell her to sign up early. This year it filled up before the end of July. Rumor has it next year they'll only sell half as many regular spots as they did this year, and they intend to make the other half "Hero" spots, meaning you have to agree to fund raise at least $500.00 of sponsorship when you sign up.

Wait, are we still talking "Walking Dead", or "Sons of Anarchy"?

Funny you should show off the Remingtons. I've never even heard of them or seen one until I went shooting at a friend of my brother in laws land two weeks ago. His friend collects them and showed me some from his collection. We were talking and he was showing us an old Baby Browning, when the subject of the Remingtons came up. He brought them down to the range and was kind enough to let me shoot one of the .380s. Nice old guns. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on the pr! That is an excellent time for you and your wife. St. Jude Hospital is a worthy cause. Good Job.

I've got to stop reading these threads regarding the election. The primaries haven't begun yet, and people are already bolting for the door, running from the as yet to be nominated Republican candidate. If I didn't know better, you'd think BO was the most popular president in the history of our country.

As a CCW, I never really thought much for carrying a spare magazine until recently. While I like to think I'm prepared as I can possibly be, and I realize the chances of having to use my handgun to protect myself or my family are rather slim, the chances of a long protracted shoot out that would require more than 6 or 8 rounds, and a reload is probably even more remote. I then read something that made me rethink this. Essentially guns are machines, and as such, machines can break or malfunction. With that thought, if the magazine goes bad for some unknown reason, I would probably like one to replace it. With this in mind I started carrying my G26 with the stock ten round mag and a G19 mag on the weak side in a Gould & Goodrich carrier. It's not really that stealthy, but I'm usually wearing a shirt or jacket, etc to conceal the pistol, so anything that covers my belt pretty much covers the spare mag as well. Works for me, ymmv.

True this. I agree with many previous posters that Cain is probably done. I'd still vote for him, and respect him more for staying in until the primary is over. Even if some of the allegations are true, Americans are a forgiving people with short memories.

that sucks, but hardly shocking.

FWIW, I noticed that holsters for the commander's size 1911 seem to fit the PF9 very well.

I like her pet name for him... "Walker Bait".

I've owned two RIA GI models. One I bought NIB and the other I picked up used. They were both flawless and ate ball and SD ammo. They were both much more accurate than I would ever be. No experience with the Metro or the American Tactical, but they are both nice looking guns as well. Doubt you could go wrong with any of the three.

They'd do much better to "Occupy" the Apple store.

I was picking up a pie over at another location last week and asked this same question. The only answer was "he worked at our Winchester store." I'd love to know if they fired him or not. I understand from the backstory that another driver for PJ was killed in a similar robbery just over a year ago, just never made much news, as hard as that is to believe.

Since you indicated you are an "I", I would like to ask you to clarify for me what you just said. If it comes down to Gingrich or Barry, who would you vote for? You said you would not vote for Barry, so he is a non-issue and you won't vote for Gingrich. So if those are the two choices you will be content to sit home and not vote? The part about not bashing Barry? If that offends you, I'd seriously turn off your radio, TV and stop reading the papers for about the next twelve months. It works both ways. Even after he was elected Barry was still bashing Bush. No matter what the problem was, Blame Bush was the answer. The problem is, Barry can't run on his record because he's ruled against the will of the people, and he hasn't done anything to make things better, only to push his own Socialist agenda, fostering class warfare and apologizing to the world for being American. Is Gingrich the best we have to offer? Who knows? The primaries aren't over yet. I think Gingrich may be the smartest guy running, but does that make him the best candidate for the job? Not necessarily. But despite all of his faults, which folks here and other places are going to point out until after the election, he is still better for America than Barry. Is he gruff, outspoken and arrogant? Perhaps, but I'd rather have a guy who can express himself and who loves this country and will do the right thing for all Americans in the White House beginning in January 2013. I can honestly say that I believe that Gingrich would do the right thing for America. The current tenant, no so much.

A third party candidate in this election would seal the Obama second term as a done deal before the polls ever opened in November. They wouldn't even have to send out their Black Panthers to work the polls in Chicago this time. If you think we got Hoped and Changed the first time, you'll love the sequel.....

The rest of the country just can't seem to come to terms with the fact the SEC is the best college football conference in the country, and has been for several years. The SEC teams who are numbers 2-5 can outplay and probably beat the all of the number ones from any other conference in the country.

For what it's worth, I've been all three of these folks. I've been the cop working traffic control for a large race complete with spectators. I've been the inconvenienced driver and I've been the guy running the 5k or half marathon. Lately, I've been the last one. Yesterday morning our group of about 35 started at 6 a.m. and most of us ran between 11 and 13 miles. We don't have any traffic cops giving us any help and we run most of our route down deserted residential streets until it's light enough to run trails in the park, then we criss cross back over across some of the less travelled streets to get back to our cars. It's pretty risky sometimes because we know cars are not looking for us, even with a large group. I can only imagine the headaches for race organizers with a limited budget to spend on traffic cones and police support. That said, I think OS has a legitimate complaint if the cop is simply sitting in his/her squad car listening to the radio and watching the honeys stroll by. If something could have been done to re-route the traffic or do something to help relieve the congestion without disrupting the runners, I think he/she needs to be reprimanded. Here in Memphis, there are normally a couple of different mix of officers involved. Some of them are trained traffic officers who understand the nature of the beast and will do what it takes to keep everybody moving with the least amount of static as possible. Others are purely there for the overtime and could care less as long as someone signs his OT sheet. I'm sure it is the same most other places. Unless the brass roll through and see this person slacking off, not much is going to get done.

I agree. I just had a thought while reading this thread. I wonder if the guys who rob banks now face an additional charge of carrying a handgun in a bank which is clearly posted "no guns". That should be a real deal breaker for the criminal defense attorneys..."my client will plead guilty to bank robbery if you'll drop the charge for carrying in a posted business, he didn't see the freakin' sign."....

I'm not trying to campaign for anyone, but I think one thing has been made clear from Mr. Cain's past. He did not participate in any of the out of court settlements which may have taken place in response to the accusations against him. On some level it may be hard to grasp, but it's a very common in civil litigation. The insurance company/if self insured, the board of directors will be the normally be the ones who make a business decision as to whether or not they make any offers or payments, and this is ordinarily done without the permission of the person they represent. with regard to the O/P...I think Newt is a very intelligent guy and would make a better President than what we have now, and he would also make a smart choice as a VP. Is he perfect? No, none of them are. None of us are perfect. We all have bumps and warts. Why would we expect our politicians to be any different? Just know that if we sit around and wring our hands waiting for the "perfect" candidate, we'll end up with four more years of Obamanation. Just remember, anyone running is a better choice than the current White House occupant.
