Will Carry

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll tell her that tonight, everyone in the world gets the best gift ever. Tonight our savior is born. Merry Christmas!

   What do you say to that? 

When I went into the theater I was sure this movie would suck. I was wrong. It was a great non stop action film. It finished up the series nicely. The first movie was kind of slow. The second movie had that ridiculous scene inside the mountain where mighty Smaug was chasing the tiny little dwarves around but just couldn't seem to catch them. It was like a Tom and Jerry cartoon. The "Five Armies" showed Smaug as one badass dragon. Of course I could write a long list of how the movie strayed from the book. The tallest giant of an Orc was nearly as tall as a man, according to Tolkien. But this is Peter Jackson's movie.

I think the Cubans are ready to buy some new cars.

There is nothing like a good book. The kind made from paper and ink. 

When did people start sticking objects inside the trigger guard of a handgun before they photograph it? Why do they do that?  I think the reason people do it is because they see other people doing it and they think it's "the hip way" to take a picture.

I have seen the USS North Carolina on display in Wilmington NC. It was the first Battleship to enter Pearl Harbor after the attack, brand spankin' new. The harbor was a wreck, full of oil and sunken ships. Thousands of men were working to get the harbor cleaned up. They all stopped to cheer the North Carolina. She was a fast ship, going in harms way. During the Guadalcanal Campaign she fell victim to the deadliest spread of Torpedoes every fired from a submarine. Six torpedoes were fired from the IJN submarine I-19. Three hit the USS Wasp and sunk her. The three that missed traveled over two miles where they broke the USS O'Brian in half and put a 20 foot round hole in the USS North Carolina. The "Showboat" never broke speed and shook off the hit like a champ.

Babyface Nelson, was shot seven times in the torso with 45acp from a Thompson sub-machine gun and was shot with 00 buckshot, eleven pellets in the legs. He still gunned down two FBI agents, got into a car, told his girl friend "I'm done," I was driven away where he later died in bed. 

  Our Navy is the undisputed ruler of the oceans and the seven seas.  No one else comes close. No other country is willing to dispute that nor do they have the assets to challenge it. Those Tube Jockeys can be anywhere and nobody knows it. The silent service............

I was never in the military. My reward for not being in, was not having to be in the military. That's all I get.  When all you soldiers, sailors and Marines are honored, I stand aside. I don't deserve that honor.

I have read The Hobbit many times. This will be the last Tolkien movie. I will be there.  I do not like 3D movies. I prefer to have the entire screen in focus. With 3D the background is often blurry. I grew up going to movies. I feel comfortable in the theater, especially now that I can concealed carry in them.

   My Taurus model 85 ultra light had problems out of the box. The cylinder was not machined well. One chamber locked up well, two chambers were a little sloppy and two chambers were real sloppy. The gun fired OK for 200 rounds or so, then one day the cylinder locked up so tight I had to use a wooden mallet to get it open. I tried it again with different ammo and it locked up again. I sent it back to Taurus and they kept it for 5 months, then they sent it back saying that there wasn't anything wrong with the gun. I shot it 11 more times when it jammed again. I freed it up and polished it up and sold it, I told the buyer of all the problems.   I know people who swear by Taurus revolvers. A couple of years ago the CEO of Taurus pledged to have better quality control. Since they have a lifetime warranty, they didn't need any quality control, they sent the good guns out with the bad and let the customer send them back if they were bad. Today's Taurus is better but a reputation is hard to live down.

Since the Obama Boom in gun sales, Bud's has made millions. They are a Gun Dynasty. I don't think they would conspire to do anything underhanded. They already have the business they just need to keep their customers happy.  The apology e-mail they sent was too long. They should have made it short and to the point.

and don't serve me Turkey bacon. There is no such thing......and why do they try to make TOFU sausage or vegetarian hamburgers? You want to eat Tofu and vegetables fine. If you want to pretend like you are eating REAL sausage and REAL hamburger, then you are in denial! You are not a real vegetarian if you try to imitate meat!!!! Have you ever seen a VEGAN that didn't look hungry? 

No but it make their Richards feel big.  At my age, I think I'll put up my Glock 19 and start carrying my XD-45. 

The only reason I carry one in the pipe is that I can't carry two in the pipe.

Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have. The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming. Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

The 3 inches will propel the bullet 100 miles per hour faster than a 2 inch, or 150fps. That's a big plus.

    You did the right thing.  If he wants to think of the 45acp as a death ray, that's OK with me.

I went to an ACC football game this week Duke vs UNC. Two football powerhouses :waiting:  facing off on the grid iron. Has the SEC stooped to this low?   "I guess Football just isn't exiting enough for todays soave and sophisticated crowd. Now they have to blast rap music over the loud speakers whenever the ball is not in play. Am I the only one who is annoyed by this? I first noticed this at a Hurricane's hockey game. Hockey cannot stand on it's own merit so we are going to dazzle you with bright lights and blast you with a fog horn until your ears bleed! People today seem to need a constant barrage of dazzling lights and noise to make themselves feel whole. If you took one Turkey hunting where they had to sit still of a few hours, their heads would exploded! When I go to a football game I want to study the game, analyze the offensive and defensive lines, study the backfield, critique the linebackers. I DON'T WANT TO BE BLASTED WITH RAP MUSIC! It's like a football game is a big party that keeps getting interrupted by.......a football game."

I prefer a handgun for up close work. My shotguns and rifle are locked in a safe.

The 22 magnum is a rifle round. A shot through a rifle yields impressive ballistics for a rimfire.  I cannot understand why people have been trying to market the 22mag as a pistol round? I don't understand it but.............................It is so impressive!  Huge fireball! Great penetration. If I had but a PMR I would not feel undergunned but it would be my last choice, if I had one.

  That's what I'm talkin' bout! :up: Reliable accurate.

      I wish they would start making double action revolvers again, or double stack 1911s. Colt just hasn't been progressing and innovating until recently with their Mustang 380 and Defender series. They are counting on their singles action revolvers, which will never make much money for Colt and their 1911, which every gun manufacturer in the world makes. If Colt fails it is not due to poor quality but poor management.
