I don't believe it will change anything. It may hold things up for a little while, but Obama will dance around it & probably try to ban religion. He's already well on his way to abolishing Christianity in the U.S. I've never thought I'd live to see such a crooked POS president get by with what he has. United States is becoming a socialist country as we speak.

I bet these blaspheming idiots even used Skittles & Arizona tea for the Last Supper. What a bunch of morons!

The good news is there's no ammo shortage where I live becuase people simply can't afford to buy it all up anymore. There's plenty of .22lr, 9mm, .45 or whatever else you want. The bad news is, I live way out in BFE & Knoxville's a fairly long drive. What's going on at the gun shows nowadays gun wise? I'm not driving 150+ miles round trip just for an ammo show. I used to enjoy looking for deals or trades on pistols & rifles & accessories like parts & ammo cans etc..., but I haven't been to a show in almost a year. Does anyone buy/sell/trade on guns at gun shows anymore? I'm hoping things will sttle back to normal (or at least semi normal) so this can be a fun hobby again.

Walmart.com has Flambeau pistol cases for $5 shipped (marked down from $15) so I bought a few to give out. These are the same cases SIG uses for their P series. My dad & brother will each have a pistol case & a few boxes of ammo waiting for them under the tree when they visit.   http://www.walmart.com/msharbor/ip/Flambeau-Outdoors-1411-14-Pistol-Case/23578632?wmlspartner=VCSYInvXQp8&sourceid=08215874150683696657&oid=223073.1&affillinktype=10&veh=aff

Question about two of my 8" Lodge skillets. I don't know their ages & they look identical except one is much thicker & heavier than the other. Does that mean one is a lot older or were they simply offered in different weights from Lodge?

All I cook on is cast iron at home. I have several in various brands & sizes including a Griswold & Wagner that are both 70+ years old we still cook with every day. Last year I picked up some Lodge skillets at the Great Smokies Flea market to give to my local Boy Scout troop.

I'm going to have to give Devil's Cut a try next along with a couple others. I picked up some Four Roses single barrel a few weeks ago & honestly hated my first taste of it. It was like a mouth full of charcoal & to be honest it reminded me too much of scotch....& I don't like scotch. Not wanting to give up I've tried it again each weekend for the past month & with just over half the bottle left it seems to have mellowed out a lot (or I've started to aquire a taste for it).

Ouch! That hurts just hearing about it. The only ways a gun ever leaves my house is in a holster or a protective case.

  I hear you. It's 150 mile round trip for me. I'd love to go, but from what I've been hearing from others over the past year most guys are only looking for AR's (& parts) & ammo. Nothing against them, but I'm just not into ARs & I miss going to shows & actually being able to browse, buy/sell/trade pistols & hunting rifles. My dad & I both have pistols we'd like to do some trading on, but it doesn't sound like it's going to be worth the drive & expense this time. Maybe next time.

  True. People that don't think this could eventually happen all over the country are kidding themselves. People didn't think there could be bans on mag capacities, but that's spreading like wildfire along with what the govt. likes to refer to as "assault" rifles. Remember that with enough support laws can be changed & it looks like even our Constitution will eventually be abolished along with our amendments. Also keep in mind that another man named Hitler didn't just take over...he was elected & later took advantage of those people & became the monster. It's been happening here in America piece by piece & I don't see it stopping anytime soon.

Can anyone else confirm this? If it's for real, then it's just the beggining of the end for the rest of us.   http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/11/robert-farago/begins-new-york-sending-gun-confiscation-notices/

I know a guy that wears one of these on his belt. At first people usually think he's LE until he shows them the "carry permit" badge. Then they all just think he's an idiot.

The only thing about Microsoft Security Essentials that bothers me is how long it takes to do full system scans. I can do a quick scan & it only takes 5-10 minutes. A full system scan can run for hours & still not show as finished. I can stop it during a full scan & it will turn green & say "protected", but to this day I have yet to complete a full scan. Is this normal for MSSE? If not how I can fix it or adjust the settings?

We have a HP Pavillion around the same age that came with Vista Home Premium installed. We've been using Micosoft Security Essentials for a couple years & haven't run into any problems. It's free & seems to work well. I'm not 100% computer literate so here may be others that are better though.

  Looks that way, at least for the moment. I'll still keep my fingers crossed. :x:

  I know a lot of people that would help out for free. :bat:

I got an email back from Bud's stating they have no plans of opening another location. I do know that Bud's is the only other location in the U.S. that has a Smoky Mtn. Knife Works display. Maybe that had something to do with the rumors. I guess time will tell. Either way, here's the return email from Bud's.   From Bud's: "Unfortunately, to my knowledge (unless WAY above my pay grade) we do not have plans opening another store. Sorry for the bad news! Thanks, Camran BudsGunShop.com"  

  It's different from place to place. Here in Scott County sales tax is 9.25%.

That good & bad news at the same time. I've visted Buds at their retail location in KY a few times & their selection is insane & ammunition prices are geat, but part of the reason I order guns from Bud's is their prices are lower than anyone's & no sales tax. I guess it's possible that the money I'd save on FFL transfers could make up for the sales tax.   That leads me to another question. How much is sales tax in the Seviereville area?

At least one guy got the chance to defend himself...the bad news is the punk's gonna live to do it again!  http://capitolcityproject.com/concealed-carry-owner-shoots-attacker-twice-during-knockout-game/

A close friend of mine owns a pawn/gun shop & this happens on a regular basis. He says they call him back at the store & ask him to stall or talk about the weather while they call the police.

  I'm all for them banning the Axe body spray.  Have you ever been stuck sitting next to someone wearing that nasty stuff? :puke:

  +1. I saw an episode of CSI Miami a few weeks ago & they were testing different pistols at the range & concluded that the gun used in a certain crime was a Ruger SP101 revolver. Then the officer in the show made a comment that Rugers are "rare" pistols. Last time I checked I hear that Rugers are pretty common.

  If it was at an indoor range it's possible that as the gun rotated it could have hit the bench & since her finger ws still in the trigger guard, that could account for the second trigger pull. Strange things can happen & as you can see, one miscalculation or a careless move can be fatal.

Sorry to hear that. It's a shame for her to loose her life during what should have been a fun day at the range. I've seen this almost happen both in person & on the internet. Unfortunately youtube is full of videos where some poor girl's boyfriend talks her into shooting his .44 or .500, etc. just to watch her, often painful, reaction. I've seen several vids of girls shooting & the gun flips over toward her face or flys out of her hands.
