lock n' load

Hell it's a struggle to even get a WM employee to open the case for me to get the ammo they do have. I'll get mine from North Georgia Reloading or SGAmmo.com. They have good prices and better service too.

My Rock Island pistol finally arrived last week. Took her to the range and fed a few rounds through it. I had no FTEs or FTFs in 100 rounds. The stock magazine worked good. I also bought a WC magazine just in case the stock mag had issues. This is my first .45. One day I hope to get an American made 1911 but for now this is good for me. It is the Ultra FS series.

Does anyone know if a fishing and hunting combo license would suffice for a shooting range permit? I seen something about a hunting license can be used in lieu of but wasn't sure if the combo license would work or not

I believe New Orleans did also because of an episode which they felt might compromise their case.

One more thing I have to say about Live PD, several cities have discontinued their involvement with the show because they feel it creates a negative light on the city and may hurt tourism. Williamson County, TX just announced they are severing ties with the show. My thinking is that there is no perfect place free of crime. The show gives viewers in their respective cities a glimpse of what their officers and deputies endure daily. This isn't meant to tarnish a city's image but to point to the stark reality that crime happens everywhere.

Different states have different titles. State troopers, state police, highway patrol, Department of Safety...

My post was a little confusing. State troopers or State Police have jurisdiction over the entire state. My bad.

It's real. Read Time magazines story about it...

Live PD is live minus a time delay in case of something going bad on a call. There was a situation in its first season where officers responded to a shooting and the victim's family was watching the show and recognized the house the shooting took place at. This was even before the victim was identified or the family notified. The show recieved some negative feedback because of it. I deleted the original link because the website requested no hot linking. Didn't want to break the rules.. But you can find the story on it by Googling it. It happened in SC...

I liked the one last week where an OK state trooper had someone pulled over and some passerby began interfering with the stop. The trooper let the original stop go on and went to talk to the heckler. He called the trooper a "highway cop" and said he didn't have jurisdiction on a side road. I just laughed over that one. He set him straight real quick and sent him on his way. State troopers and police have jurisdiction over the entire state not just highways. They can pull you over on a dirt road just as quick as a highway. It's amazing of the lack of common sense in some people...

And several of those they stop have adult toys in their vehicles when they get searched too...

Any recommendations on the proper grease/oil to lubricate the inner bolt work for a safe? The handle is a little tough to turn and the bolts may need some TLC.

Does anyone know of a range in or near Chattanooga that allows shotguns with both shot and slug loads? I believe Prentice Cooper allows slug only rounds but I'd like to try out some buckshot and other shot loads as well.

I looked at the Mossberg 500, Maverick 88 and the Shockwave. I wanted a more compact shotgun for home defense. I don't hunt or skeet shoot.

What's the recoil like? I'm looking at getting the mini shells for home defense. I ordered the adapter needed to accommodate the ahells

I bought a Mossberg Shockwave today and am pretty excited about it. I've seen mixed reviews about them but mostly positive ones. Does anyone on here own one? If so, what are your thoughts on it? I got the 18.5" barrel version. I had originally wanted the 14" one but didn't do my research on their different barrel lengths when I bought mine. I assumed they were only one length but they aren't. Maybe I can buy the shorter barrel and magazine tube if they sell them if I really want the shorter version.

Thanks hughd.

Those look awesome. I kinda gravitate towards the black leather. How long does it typically take to craft one?

I have a PT111 which I believe is almost identical to the g2c. I had heard there were some issues with the plastic guide rod assembly. I replaced mine with a stainless steel on from Lakeline Industries. It runs like a champ. Below is their link if you're interested in one... https://lakelinellc.com/shop/stainless-recoil-assembly-for-taurus-pt111-g2-stainless-finish/

Bought a RIA 1911 and am looking for suggestions for a holster. I am looking for a leather one with a thumb break which would rest between the hammer and slide when fastened as I plan on carrying it cocked and locked once I get accustomed to the gun.

Today at my wife's work, a patron came in open carrying a firearm and they asked him to show them his carry permit. He told them that he forgot to bring it and they told him to leave. She told me that a law was passed this year that allows a business to ask a permit holder to show them their permit when they enter their establishment if they know or suspect they may be packing. I may be wrong in assuming this but I was under the impression that only LEOs can request a permit holder to show them their permit. I'm not familiar with businesses being able to do so. I know that a businesses can prohibit guns on their property with signage but if they allow firearms can they ask for proof?

From reading the proposed law, it seems that those of us who already have a HCP that includes a photo I.D. and have paid the initial and/or renewal fees (especially lifetime permits) that we would be considered "enhanced" permit holders and would be grandfathered into that class???

This bill seems like a gimmick. It seems they just want more money to do what you could already do or at least most of it. I thought you could already carry your gun or guns in any manner you wanted. I could be wrong though...

Not in this video but I had him bring a safe into my house and he used those wooden pieces to slide the safe into a back bedroom. He and his son would push it so far along and then place more wooden pieces along the path. It was kinda like making a train track to guide the safe to its destination. They got it where I wanted it to go and once it reached its final destination, they placed it on the floor and leveled it to make sure the door wouldn't bind when it was opened. The PVC pipe trick shown earlier should provide the same results also.
