They removed the mag capacity restriction a few years ago.

Yes you can take photos of strangers without their permission in a public place. I don't think Walmart is considered a public place.

I guess I don't understand. I'm differentiating between the general consumer and the employees. I've been the employee who watched the big bosses get tons of stock and stock options (which I don't really understand either), then manipulate the books to overvalue the company, then cash out with their golden parachutes, and leave all the minions (me) stuck in a highly over leveraged company, with no capital to do anything with and stock holders who only want ROI. There's only so much blood you can squeeze from a rock.

Who says the "bosses" doesn't include the politicians Yes, they got rich by producing a product or providing a service. They get even more rich when they realize they can sell the whole thing for 3x what it's worth and walk away.

    FTFY.  ;)

I agree except that I hope there's not another IPO. I hope the Cabelas management has learned that being a publicly traded company ain't all that.

    Agreed.  The sheriff's job is to enforce the laws on the books.  It's the legislature's job to decide what laws go in the books.  Don't like the laws?  Change the legislature.    I guess this sends a message, but in the end accomplishes little more than a few lawyers pocketing some taxpayer money in the inevitable legal fight. 

Interesting.  I didn't know Cabela's was publicly held.  Seems somewhat typical of stock offerings with small-ish businesses that have been family run.  The IPO generates needed cash at that time, but being subject to the whimsy and absurdities of public trading tends not to go so well in the long run. 

    I just do what it says on the tag.  I enjoy landscaping and have planted lots of stuff over the years.  We did have particularly cold winters when these died... like 30+ days below freezing and temps below 10 deg several times.  But they'd been in the ground for a good 3 months before it got super cold.    The cold snap in the spring this year killed a tulip poplar tree in my yard.  It grew from a seedling I dug up at my parents house and was at least 5 yrs old and 15-20 ft tall.  It has just started to leaf out when the cold hit.  The trunk split from the ground up about 4 ft.  It'll likely be firewood before the end of the year.  :-\

I don't reload, but have used S&B ammo and had maybe 5 out of 100 not go off.  The primers clearly were struck and still didn't go off the 2nd time around.  This was 9mm and across at least 3 different pistols. 

Purdy.

A former coworker's daughter had a similar sized tumor removed from her abdomen a number of years ago.  We also couldn't believe the size of it as she was a skinny 105 lb teenager.  There were some complications, but she's still doing fine to the best of my knowledge.  Prayer sent for good test results and a speedy recovery. 

Wolves get really big, I've seen several of them up close.  The 120lb weight sounds about right.  Their bone structure is much larger than a typical dog... a wolf's skull and paws are at least 50% bigger than a typical large dog.  A wolf's fur is also very thick which makes them look bigger than their weight might imply. 

    Then I must just have bad luck.  I've planted several in the fall and dug up dead trees in the spring with no root growth whatsoever.  Their spring replacements did fine. 

I'll also go with the cherry, redbud, or dogwood ideas.  None of those grow really fast so if you're wanting a decent sized tree in a few years, best to buy a bigger one.  Fruit trees are high maintenance and the yellow jackets and wasps will drive you crazy.  We've had a few but they never lived more than about 5 years.     I'd also recommend waiting until spring to plant it.  Winters have been so variable lately that I wouldn't want to go through the trouble of planting a tree and then have to dig it up again and go through the hassle of warranty replacement when it's dead in the spring.   

Thanks to all who serve.

Hope you find the services you need. Sucks to be in that situation. If you've got anything that might be infected, please get it addressed sooner rather than later. A friend's mom nearly died because of an abscessed tooth. The bad tooth led to a blood infection which ruined a heart valve. Think dental implants are expensive? Try open heart surgery.

Re: the phone call thing.... My wife calls me within 5 minutes of me entering a gun shop, without fail. Every frickin time. Witchcraft if you asked me. Nice new toys.

    Welcome!   I too would love to find a nearby outdoor place I could shoot rifles.  Unfortunately, unless you've got your own or access to someone's private property, you're stuck with using a range.   There's the Norris range, ORSA, John Sevier range, plus a hand full of indoor pistol ranges around town. 

You need a couple layers under a barrier that the wind won't penetrate.  I'd try pvc rain gear, not the fancy gortex stuff.  "Breathable" can also be interpreted as "wind blows right through it".

    Oh yeah... that righty tighty thing gets me sometime too.  :)

Is it a bead sight or just a simple blade/post? If the latter, you can just file the existing sight down. 

Congrats!  Not only does having a child change everything, it never stops changing. 

Good news. A 10% raise.... That's the stuff dreams are made of.

The 20rd mag is aftermarket. SKS's only came with the 10rd fixed mag. I don't know a smith in that area. There's a few on here but I think they're closer to Nashville. Replacing that spring doesn't look real difficult, I feel sure any competent smith could do it. It might be as simple as bending the latch or tab a little so it has a little more engagement.
