What brand & type of 9mm is it? FMJ, +p, etc...?

  Yuck! :sick: If you turned on a fluorescent lamp in the Oval Office after Clinton's last term I bet the astronauts could see it glowing from space. :rofl:

  +1. I saw an interview with a LEO & he called baggy pants "the great equalizer". He said droopy jeans was the only way they could catch a lot of thugs. I've seen it happen several times on "COPS"? :rofl:

  +1. I currently own three Beretta Cougars I've converted into "G" models & also added D model springs to them all including the Mini Cougars to lighten the DA trigger pull. The Cougars are simpe to convert into G models, not to mention free. You simply remove two little parts; the detent ball & spring. The regular 92/96 models are complicated to do the G conversion. The slides must be machined & it costs a few hundered dollars to convert them. Another reason to love the Cougar. The 90-Two doesn't need any machining & only requires a few parts to be converted to a G model, but still isn't what I'd call cheap.

  Here's a link to a thread that should answer all you questions.  http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/82549-buds-discount-guns-lexington-ky/

  Yes & no. It's a privately run franchise store & even has a seperate website. Prices & stock will be different than the KY store. It's basically just a regular gun store with the Bud's name. Bud's, KY aka "The Gun Warehouse" ... http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php Bud's, Sevierville aka "Bud's Gun Shop & Range" ... http://www.budsgunshoptn.com/

  +1. Some theaters across the country actually tried that a few years ago. It didn't last long. My local theater, which has finally gone digital, will actually stop the movie & put a "turn off you cell phones" message on the screen for 30 seconds if they see someone using one during the movie. If that doesn't work they come in & escort the cell phone user out of the theater. I've seen them do both at least once.

  I think the ammo is for werewolves. Only Hollywood & teenagers who can't act their way out of a wet paper bag can truely kill vampires. :surrender:

Looks like a movie worth seeing on the big screen. Hopefully I'll get to see it in a few days so I don't have to wait for the DVD.   On a side note. I've only seen previews, of course, but eveytime I hear Brad Pitt talk in the preview I keep picturing his "killin' Nazi" speech from "Inglourious Basterds".  

I've never had an issue with any of my 45's, but the one I have the most rounds through & shoot the best is my Beretta 8045 Cougar. Then there's my 8045 Mini Cougar & H&K USP 45. All have been 100% reliable.

From "WebMD"...   "Research begun in the 1950s has shown that when we recover from childhood chickenpox infections, the virus that causes the infection, varicella zoster virus, remains latent in nerve cells.  What causes reactivation of the virus is unclear, but as we age, experts believe the immune responses that keep varicella zoster virus dormant in the nerves weaken with age. One in three people will get shingles during their lifetime, and at least half of all people 85 and older have had the ailment."

  Here's a link to Bud's Sevierville's website. Just click on the shooting range tab for rates & what's available. Looks like $20 per hour for the range & about $1 per minute for the training simulator. http://www.budsgunshoptn.com/shooting-range/

My dad got shingle this past spring at the age of 66. He caught it early, but it spread from his right shoulder blade, around his right side & part way across his chest. It took about a month to fully clear up & another month for the pain to go away. He said it felt like a blow torch on his chest at night for the first couple weeks & lemon juice on a cut for a couple weeks after that. I wouldn't wish it on anybody.

  That may have something to do with the choice of location. I've known for years that Bud's store in Lexington was the only retail location outside of SMKW that actually had a SMKW knife display. Locationg next door & having a good business relationship would make sense.

  They don't price match with the Bud's Lexington online price because Bud's in Seveirville is a privately owned franchise store. You can have Bud's in Lexington transfer the rifle to the Sevierville location & get the "cash" price by either paying Bud's online with a debit card or mailing a MO to their Lexington location. I've mailed MO to Bud's in KY & actually had my pistol in hand at my FFL within two days. It's a simple & fast way to pay & get your item.

:rofl:

  If you're talking about Bud's in Lexington (The Gun Warehouse), many of their in store prices are lower than their online prices to help make up for "free" shipping. I haven't been to the Sevierville location yet, but I have visited the Lexington location several times & noted that many of their handguns are priced $20-$40 cheaper if you buy them at the retail location. I called the Sevierville location about a week ago for a price & asked if they were planning to list guns & prices online like the Lexington location does, but was told they don't have any plans of listing their in stock guns or prices online. I wish they would, but I also understand that with stock rotating as fast as it does it would be a pain to keep up with.

  I wonder what impact this will have since we'll soon be entering cold & flu season? They just announced on the news tonight that over 100 people are being "monitored" because of contact with the ebola patient & his family. Of course I don't expect this to have the same widespread negative impact as HIV/AIDS, but it could cost lives or make a lot of people very sick if it's not taken more seriously than the CDC & govt. are now. Take steps to stop it now before it spreads across the U.S. & our schools, etc...

In that case...........

  Thanks. I'll be sure to pass this along to him.   The Carcano wouldn't have been my first choice, but all he heard from the seller was "it's the same type of rifle used to kill Kennedy" & he was hooked. Like I said, he doesn't think things through. He's also 22 going on 12, but what can you do when he won't take advice? He has a little over $350 just in the rifle & still has no ammo & no stripper clips. Basically he has an expensive door prop at the moment.

My brother in law recently traded a new handgun for a rough looking Carcano in 6.5x52mm. The problem with my BIL is he doesn't think things through & he got the rifle without any clips, sling, bayonet, or ammo & never bothered to see if ammo was redily available before trading. The guy he got the rifle from told him that 6.5x52mm is extremely easy to find & only costs $10-$15 per box. I've tried to help him find some online but it's been priced for double to triple that online & most is listed as out of stock. My LGS says they can't get it at all. Does anyone know of anywhere in the Knoxville/Oak Ridge area that sells Carcano ammo? He's also looking for clips, but we can pick them up online if necessary. Any help would be appreciated.

Surely not! I thought that bringing in ebola patients from Africa here to the U.S. was suppost to keep us safe. Oh, yeah. That's right. It won't! Bringing the ebola virus into the U.S. is a bad thing...& I don't even have a medical degree. Who do I tell, "I told you so" to?

  +1. They allowed .22 where my wife & I went. The only handgun they didn't allow at our class was single action revolvers. I guess it makes sense since 99% of people won't choose a SA revolver for SD carry, but it disapointed my wife since she had recently bought her first handgun; a Ruger Single Six, & was hoping to use it. The instructor had an assortment of about 10 handguns in a selection of calibers that he loaned out for free to anyone that needed one. My wife used one of the free loaner pistols & got a perfect score on her range test so it worked out fine. :up:

You'll need 50 rounds for the test. I always suggest using the pistol you plan to use for SD carry, but you can use any pistol or caliber you prefer. Since my Beretta .45 acp was going to be my main carry pistol, that's what I used for my shooting test. I got my permit 3 1/2 years ago & we had to shoot 49 rounds at 5, 7, 9, (10 rounds each) & 15 yards (19 rounds), but I'm not sure if there's a certain mandatory distance or if it's set by the individual instructor. Just relax & enjoy it & you'll do fine. It's nothing to sweat over.

  Bingo! It's also a form of self segregation. As a minority they ask for equal rights, but they don't really mean it & it's earned a black history month, numerous black only colleges, "Black Miss America", NAACP, UNCF, & dozens of others. Ever hear the term "double standard"? "Hypocrite" also comes to mind. I've only met a few true African Americans in my life. They were born in Africa & moved here. I don't care what color your skin is. If you were born here in the U.S. you're an American. I don't go around asking to be called "Cherokee-Lakota-Scotish American". It would sound rediculous & people would have a hard time taking me seriously if I did. It's the same with the term "African American".
