Saw a tv spot on the town in Oregon a while back, forget which channel. Not surprisingly the tv folks were pushing the vigilante vibe, but it mostly seemed like rural country folk looking out for one another.

The only one I actually subscribe to is American Rifleman. I get Dad's hand-me-downs of Field and Stream, Outdoor Life, Shooting, and possibly a couple others. Dad gets LOTS of magazines.

It also doesn't account for the number of people who aren't eligible for a permit. Probably not a large number, but could make a difference.

Sand it down to bare metal, prime, and repaint.

Merry Christmas folks!

I think we all could use a trip out behind the barn from time to time.

Duly noted. Seems like they work on everything else...

Ok bin laden, now you get yours.

My family doesn't really have any particular traditions. My wife's family's tradition is to yell "Christmas Gift!" at one another when they first see each other. The first to say it is the winner.

Baked BBQ chicken. Baked because it's frickin cold out, I'm sick (merry Christmas to me), and I don't feel like standing outside to grill it. Plus baked beans, and a veggie of some sort.

Predator Custom in Knoxville.

Nice toys!

Ding! You need a specialized grinder to sharpen it. A traditional sharpener will just rub on it. You'll do more damage to the sharpener than the blade.

Got my wife an M&P Shield 9mm. Got my youngest his lifetime sportsman, but that was mostly for his birthday a couple weeks ago. I've got several gun related things on my list, but I doubt I'll get any of them. Mostly I'm trying hard to save up cash to get an upper for my TGO lower.

Bummer. Hope he comes around quickly and hope the truck gets fixed without much hassle.

It's a great place to feed hungry kids. A reasonably wholesome dinner for 4 for about $30 sure beats $40+ for lunch at Panera.

Just add up the power requirements for whatever you want to run simultaneously.... HVAC is typically the biggest load, plus fridge, freezer, lights, tv, computer, etc. Or you can walk outside and watch your electric meter and record how much power you're using over several hours and get an idea. For that matter, just look at your electric bill.

Other than accidentally putting them through the wash, I just toss them and get more. We have big bins of the foam plugs at work. If I had fancy molded plugs, I soap and water.

Probably the most factually correct piece I've ever seen in a newspaper.

It would be easy enough for walmart to list these guys as "persona non grata" and refuse to sell to them. But they probably won't.

Here's a good one for the season... ;) http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5jwHLsKsiCA

I have the cheapo brinkman, and with a few minor mods, it works fine. I've never had any problems with it. I do not recommend the pellet type, I'm told they get expensive to feed.

I had mine reworked by Kivarri and it's hugely improved.

Trying to get out of bed fast while in a half asleep panic isn't likely to be real graceful. As stated, some sort of warning system, be it an alarm, dog, etc., to give you a few extra seconds can make the difference.
