Will Carry

 At least you tried. Maybe you planted a seed. Sometimes that seed will grow.  I asked my son-in-law what he was going to do when someone breaks down his door and he doesn't have a gun.  I have taken him shooting twice and told him that I would GIVE him a Glock 19. He's afraid my grandchildren will shoot themselves with it.  It makes me want to scream!

Mine came with OWB holster.  I tried it and didn't like it. I carry mine IWB with an N8 Squared holster.

I have always liked the lever action 30-30. It has probably put more meat on the table than any other cartridge.  95% of the deer I have bagged have been from less than 100 yards, most have been 50 yards or less.  My second choice would be a bolt action 30-06 but I'm old fashion.

  I remember those Christmases in the 1970s on Grandma Carry’s farm.  She had seven children and lots of nieces and nephews. Now Grandma didn’t allow no spirits in the house but after a good Christmas dinner all the hippie liberals younguns and all the redneck conservative younguns would go out behind the horse barn and an hour later they’s come back all smilin’, red eyed and happy. They loved each other that night. Now that they have all grown up they don’t do that any more. It’s a shame.

That’s the best Christmas present ever! Thanks. May the peace of the Lord, which defies understanding, be with you always. (Lutheran)

I jumped on the .380 bandwagon a few years ago when all the pocket .380s came out.  I still have a P-238 and DB380. I don’t know why? The .380 is over priced and under powered.  I hope it’s a single stack 9mm, or an evil black revolver. Either way, I never buy a handgun when they first hit the stores. I did that with the DB380 and learned my lesson. 

  We didn’t learn that in 4th grade. I don’t even think zirconium oxide was invented when I was in the 4th grade.  After reading some reviews on Amazon, it seems I am not the only one to complain about the sharpness of these knives. Maybe I was expecting too much. I also Googled Zirconuim Oxide. Your never too old to learn. 

Thanks for the feedback but for $20 and the trouble, I’ll try two hundred more strokes. My wife has a set of Almar knives and a couple of high dollar Japanese knives that I can sharpen. If I mess up the blade on the ceramic knife…. I’ll use it to spread peanut butter. ;)

  I bought my wife a Boker ceramic kitchen knife that “never needs sharpening”.  It’s as dull as a butter knife.  I tried using my Lansky sharpener with a diamond encrusted stone. Two hundred strokes on each side and it’s still dull!  I guess I can try two hundred more…….

They haven’t just asked us to tolerate gays. I do just that. I tolerate those people just like anyone else. I don’t have to accept them, just tolerate them. I am OK with that, if you are gay, that’s OK with me. It’s a sin, but I am a sinner too. I cannot pull a splinter out of your eye, when I have a plank in my eye. The Bible is what it is, it says that being gay is a sin. We are all sinners. The gay people are just going to have to start accepting that. They cannot change what the Bible says, only that, through Jesus Christ, they CAN be forgiven. That’s all Phil was trying to say.

     I am no expert on tactical training.  If you put that music on any video, then everyone in the video is going to look like idiots. It is a perfect example of how propaganda works. They play funny music, and everything looks funny: like Pavlog’a dogs. Who ever made this video wanted those people to look like idiots. I don’t know if they were doing good training or not, but I do no BS when I see it. I call BS on this. 

XD-45 with an extra magazine, my EDC gun and a Smith and Wesson model 36 in a hollowed out book in my book shelf.  If I can get to my closet I have some real guns.

I bought a +1 extended magazine for mine. It took some time to learn to love this little pistol but it's a dependable, good shootin' pistol and I trust my life to it.

Tanker,   I spent the best part of my youth battling cancer with my wife. 9 years we fought. She was 19 when she got it. I wouldn't trade those 9 years for anything.

I have one hanging in my closet. The dang thing shrank! Or my belly got bigger.  I can't wear it any more.

The Big South Fork area is a must see.  One of the last wild places in the south....that ain't swamp.

That is a nice range pack.

That Bowie? What is the history on it? It looks...authentic. 

The one great thing about Browning's design is that it is rugged and easy to manufacture. You don't have to have a refined 1911. BUT. If I had the money...I would let want a fancy 1911 with a poney on the slide. Just for it's historical value for nothing else. A 1911 is a hammer. Who makes the best hammer?

  Sidewinder, the short answer is "no". The loaded chamber indicator and the magazine safety, as far as I know, do not effect the pistol's operation.  I have heard that the LCI can cause the pistol to jam, but I have not found this to be true. Ruger will tell you that they don't hamper the action. I removed my LCI anyway and the magazine safety. I still have all the parts and can return the pistol to factory specs if I need to.   One thing about the Mark III Hunter is that it's barrel heavy.  It doesn't bother me but I have shot a competition Browning 22LR and the Browning was light as a feather.

I sent my Mark III Hunter to Iowa and had Volquartsen tweek it. It came back a Mark II. No loaded chamber indicator, No magazine safety, It now has a Volquartsen fancy grip and a trigger that is ...outstanding! Less than 3lbs.  I can dissassemble it and reassemble it blindfolded now. I also have way more money in this pistol than I will ever get back out of it but that's OK.This pistol is a keeper.  I have a red dot scope on it too.

     Whe I was young back in the 60s my great uncle Jack would take me quail hunting in rural Alabamer.  We would walk the fields and pastures with his dogs all day. When we would come up to a farmers house, or saw someone across a field, Uncle Jack would give out a holler. The other person would holler back. Sometimes they would have a hollering conversation. It seemed that everyone had a particular way a hollering so everyone would know who it was. I remember a holler of a man that I never saw, but over a period of years would here him running his dogs across the bottom land next to my uncle's farm. Same holler, every year.     They have a Spivey's Corner Hollerin Contest every year in Sampson County NC to remember this old tradition. I had forgotten about Uncle Jack's hollerin until I saw this contest on the local news. I was just wondering if anyone else remembers this hollering tradition being practiced.   Here is a video of the hollerin contest in Spivey's Corner. Now I know why so many Tar Heels migrated to Tennessee.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=podVxyUypqo

As long as hospitals are charging $800 for a warm blanket and $75 for two asprin, we will never have affordable health care. If the governemnt gets involved it will only make it worse.

I carry at Costco in Raleigh NC.  I still like Piggly Wiggly.

Can you imagine pulling those pistols on a mugger?
