  1. More and better photos to come.
  2. He found a 9week old Blue Tick Hound. He found some labs in the paper and the guy kept jerking us around, we said screw it and went to the pet stores. One of the rescues had a cute little female Blue Tick. He and I are GA fans, but the blue tick just seemed right.
  3. I have found some brass that is thinner than others. This matters in the resizing when I go to seat bullets. I don't bother to flare it more but I hold the bullet on going into the seating die. I never noticed what brand the brass was though. I have bought a lot some 9mm brass lately for $5/1lbs(about 115 pcs)
  4. Thanks, my brother found what he was looking for.
  5. I'm asking because my grandpa wants to buy one. My wife and I already have one is the reason he wants one.
  6. I have looked a lot and 309 seems to be the lowest price I could find. Except a Raspberry for 299 at sportsmans. I agree they are brutal, snappy little beast but grandpa needs an easy to carry pocket gun.
  7. Holly cow, so $309 plus fees and tax is a deal.
  8. Let me direct you to http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_crime_laws_in_the_United_States I normally don't cite Wikipedia but on this topic it's right on.
  9. A story like that makes me smile.
  10. You can say about any name you wanted but if it is to entice a fight it is a crime. If it leads to violence the Feds get involved. No I get what you are saying and I see the relativity to this case. However like usual the first person to bring up the racism(Sharpton, Jackson, and the Martin's) are the real racist here.
  11. When I posted that I actually thought you were the original poster. If the biggest gun you own is a LCP them by all means carry it.
  12. Actually calling someone that is awfully close to civil rights intimidation, a class E Felony. If the act is provoked by any form of violence or threats you are done.
  13. I agree on your TM opinion. Here is the deal with George though. First George should have blended in and TM should not have even known George even existed. Next, George had every right to do everything he did but he got in too deep, remember the rule don't go anywhere with a firearm you wouldn't go without one. This means in this situation to not get overly competinent. A thug does not care if your a watch captain of NW or even a cop. I have no sympathy for people who pay the consequences of their stupidity. Let this be a lesson to us all, be a good witness form a safe place or take photos. Don't even get in a situation where you may need to defend yourself. Don't even give a criminal any reason to believe you exist. A real criminal will kill you to eliminate a witness.
  14. No, you should not put yourself into a situation of danger. Be a witness from a safe place. What if Travon was a real criminal? He would have shot George for just looking at him. As a police officer I have seen too many people try to do too much and get hurt or go to jail themselves.
  15. The play stupid games and win stupid prizes theory has been in my mind this whole time, FOR BOTH PARTIES. I could go out at night and dress like a thug, walk the streets with a large hoodie, walk in the shadows, but I don't because I may not be able to handle the repocussions. I could go out and play neighborhood watch commander but I don't because it's stupid. If I see something suspicious I call the police or take good notes so in case a crime occurs I can turn over information. If I am getting paid to wear my badge I will do my job.
  16. I have said that from the beginning, Martin utilized stand your ground and Z resorted to self defense. I am not saying either was wrong or right.
  17. If small and light is your focus then the XDS isn't much over most .380's. The concern I would have is that in the woods you have no where to run. You can't flee to a well lit, populated area. You can't reach your car to flee and you may not get cell service. Even when the greatest possibility is humans in the woods I would want a fighting gun with a fair amount of ammo, at least 15 rounds.
  18. Following someone is not illegal. Truthfully Z could have legally followed Martin all the way to his front door. Martin had the legal right to confront and use force instead of retreat under stand your ground. I can't say that I may not do the same if I was being followed.
  19. Even the most honest of people will lie when it comes to talking about their finances. Here is what sucks, anyone of us could have been Martin or Zimmerman. What I do believe is that Zimmerman was wrong to stalk (not illegal in FL in this situation) and Martin should have called the police himself. All evidence supports that Martin could have very easily made it home but instead decided to confront Zimmerman(Martin may have had a fear in this unknown guy knowing where he lived). I hate it that both men are in the situation they are in now. It's unlikely that Martin would have killed Z but he could have. All it takes is a light hit to the right spot of the head to kill you.
  20. It could be a black panther. I had to, sorry.
  21. Fwiw, a friend of mine who was a therapist at a VA clinic says 90% of vietnam vets carry and illegally at VA Clinics. Even though none will admit a lot of older guys carry illegally everyday.
  22. I am looking for a LCP and at the best price in or around Chattanooga. I need a new one, not that anyone saves buying these used anyway. I haven't really been out at all the retailers lately and I am wondering what the going rate is now. It's for my grandpa who lives in Chattanooga.
  23. I have seen two deaths in which the head wounds bleed very little. One a self inflicted 45acp wound to the side of the head with 2 cups of blood at the most. The next was a 9 story fall in which the mans head hit first. This was unbelievable with no more than a single drop of blood.
