That's a darn good price!!

Good point, I bought my Shadow for IDPA. I love it and probably won't ever part with it. It made me a better shooter right away. I have a couple of pistols w/ strikers, but the ones I love to shoot most have hammers and DA/SA triggers. I'm right there with you.

It's a CZ Shadow, you can't go wrong with either. However, I never understood why they made a SA/DA version of a target pistol.

Looks too much like when my wife gets on Amazon.

Welcome to Nashville!

Stossel has done a lot of stories over the year that exposes common misconceptions. This one and the one about recycling are my favorites.

I didn't know that, thanks. I bet that forces them to leave a lot behind. I only say that because it often took my dad and I HOURS to process a deer at home where we have the best equipment and table tops.

The biggest white tail I've killed field dressed around 135# and I was gassed after dragging it about 1/2 mile to the truck, over 2 fences, and loaded into the bed. Sometimes elk/sheep hunters hike miles up into the mountains. 3 Probably dumb questions, but: How do they get that carcass out of there? How did you get this beast up onto a SXS or into a truck bed to haul it home?

While I freely admit that a BoS gives many a sense of comfort, I don't see why it's usually the seller that asks for one. I feel like it's more beneficial to the buyer to insist on one. As a private seller of a gun you bought on a 4473, if "they" come knocking to ask about the disposition of the gun, saying "I sold/traded it to a non-prohibited TN resident" has the same effect for you as a BoS, right? As a private buyer, you have a lot more to lose if you don't have one.

I completely forgot he was in Conan. I loved that scene where he shot the snake out of a bow.

I loved him in Sandlot, but I don't recall a single bad movie/show.

I'm not sure if my tree guy goes that far, but I strongly recommend calling him to see. Not only was he the cheapest of my 5 estimates, he was the nicest guy you could ever wanna meet. I had him cut down 3 mature trees, grind the stumps, and trim 2 others (incl. a 65' tall Ash tree). One of the trees was in a corner of the fence and the house w/ less than 2" from each and they didn't leave a single mark, even when grinding the stump. There was at most 3 or 4 handfuls of small wood chips/dust when they left too. I'm having them back over this fall/winter to top/trim 7 or 8 Bradford pear trees next. I really liked this guy and his crew was very nice and professional. BTW...he's on Angi's List if you wanna read more reviews. 615-821-9862 https://hectorsteeservice.com/

The Optics Planet article was definitely about optics, not pointers. It has some good info in there and it's a quick read.

I read a good article about red vs green. For the most part it seems to come down to intended use and preference. https://www.opticsplanet.com/howto/how-to-choose-a-laser-sight.html For me personally, I don't need a laser for outside in the daylight, so red would do for me. Green lasers are also known to be more complicated and less durable, so over time they tend to fail more often on firearms. So, a reputable red dot is just the smartest choice for me.

Asking teachers what their thoughts on anything 2A related is like 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. They are going to take a dump on our 2A rights 10 times out of 10. The ones who don't wanna touch guns would NEVER be forced to, but they want to prevent the ones willing from saving lives. If a teacher is smart enough to educate our kids, he/she is smart enough to be trained to protect our kids. SROs are not any smarter than a teacher and the amount of actual firearm and situational training would likely be about even. If I need an opinion about astronomy, NDT would do. On religion, school shootings, and politics, he has proven himself to be a moron.
