First LEO encounter while carrying
BigK replied to walton6467's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Didn't mean to challenge your attention span The OP said the LEO told him why his guys don't OC and why he felt it's a bad idea. I was just sighting another reason that affects us more than just side scaring the sheeple. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I had no choice but to let the ranking pick for me. I made a few changes, but WOW...I've never had such a crappy fantasy team. I'll make it work though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm no chem prof, but you hit the nail on the head. Air is already 78% nitrogen. The extra nitrogen does little aside from replacing more oxygen and water vapor. They are the real problem. Water vapor and oxygen molecules are smaller than nitrogen molecules. Water vapor (1% of the air) permeates out of the tire 250X faster than nitrogen & oxygen (21% of the air) permeates 3X - 4X faster than nitrogen. Having 20% more nitrogen means tire pressure stays up more giving you more mileage. Tires lose air slowly, so by time we check them and add air, the damage is done. If we all checked & topped off our pressure weekly, we'd see noticeable increase in tire life with all other things being equal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had a roommate once that worked at NTB. He told me the old bias-ply tires had to be rotated front to back, but most radials didn't matter. My factory tires were crap (23k miles). The guy at Goodyear says the factories don't usually use high mileage tires. The replacements have over 39k and still look great. My tires are rotated RF to LR and LF to RR every other time and then front to back every other time. This means a tire doesn't go back on same wheel for 18K miles. I was told this is optimum for even wear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

5 yards !? How'd you get that close? Also, regarding the ticks...when I was young and would haul hay in the summer, my granny would tie a rag soaked in coal oil around each of our ankles and we never got ticks or chiggers on us.

Here's a couple more shots, now that I figured out how to resize the photos.

I was checking out ArmsList.com on my lunch break today and ran into an old ad for a shotgun for sale. Item Price: $175.00 I have a brand new Mossberg 500A with a 28" bbl and wood furnishings. I am including 25 rounds of 00 buckshot and a rifle bag. I need to sell this as soon as possible to pay help pay for school needs. Dig this, the ad was listed on 8/16 and I was the first to respond!? He called me back and I met him at On Target in Murfreesboro an hour or two later to look it over. He wasn't kidding; the gun is brand new. The rifle sleeve and 5 boxes of buckshot were nice to have too.

First LEO encounter while carrying

I've never been asked for my HCP and likely never will be asked, b/c I CC. I wouldn't dream of trampling on anyone's right to OC, but I STRONGLY prefer CC. Partly, I don't want to be the 1st one shot if the SHTF and I'm near. Mostly, I know many people have "issues" (almost always irrational) with guns, so the fewer they see, they less they think about it. If I OC'ed in an unposted place and enough people complained to the owner, causing him to feel pressured to post his establishment, I'd feel bad. Not only would I be the catalyst that made him do what he felt he had to do, which often means choosing to lose some customers (US) at the risk of losing others (anti-gun nuts). SBO's have it hard enough in this economy without me creating issues that cause them to lose customers. Not to mention that many of us won't frequent a posted place, which is often inconvenient for us as well. So what I'm trying to get at is that maybe the LEO had another reason for recommending CC over OC? -
TN Handgun Carry Permit Schools and Instructors
BigK replied to BimmerFreak's topic in Training Discussions
Use This Format: Pack 'N Heat Hangar Lane @ Nashville Airport Jeff Eady $65 http://packnheat.net/ 615.604-9159 Jeff currently works as a Law Enforcement Training Officer in Middle Tennessee. He is a Field Training Officer, SWAT entry team member, Defensive Tactics Instructor, Post Certified Firearms Instructor, Structural Firefighter, Aircraft Rescue Firefighter, Response to Lethal Threats Instructor, Officer Survival Instructor, Simunition Instructor, OC Spray Instructor, and Medical First Responder. His class was fun and informative. I especially like the atmosphere. He kept it light and informal, but he was very professional and knowledgeable. On the day I took the class, there were only guys, so he let us shoot at the course where he trains officers for the Airport police. It was awesome, go to his site and check out the pics. There's a jet fuselage there where they practice entry drills. Your Personal Experience: I too -
Kudos, damn coyotes are aweful

reading these 2 threads was a great way to kill my last hour at work I learned a lot about "how things work around here." Sad...

I would trade every summer day day over 85 for an extra winter day below 40 and be happy. I don't love the cold and the snow. I just can't tolerate the heat.

my favorites are AllRize and 1 MPG

The Outpost is a great shop in a great location and a pretty good selection too. They also have the cutest gun sales gal that's ever sold me a gun. Well, she's actually the only female gun sales clerk I've ever met, but she's still cute.

My son and I went shooting as usual and stopped at Specialty Arms in LV to browse and shoot the breeze. Went to Murfreesboro to get my daughter her first cell phone and my son an XBox for his birthday.

Music City Tactical Shooters Sept 4 Match
BigK replied to kcevans's topic in Competitive Shooting Sports
Sounds VERY cool. For someone who has zero experience at IDPA, how can I learn how to get started? -
Much respect! Truly a lost talent.

How much ammo do you carry for EDC?
BigK replied to Backon4's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I carry 13 + 1 in the one on my hip and another 13 in spare mag (both mags are downloaded by 1 from 14) and 6 + 1 in my backup in my pocket = 34 -
If I learn something and avoid shooting myself, I'll consider it a success. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In the last 15 years I've only spent 2 nights away from home and that was work related. I'm pretty excited that my trip is for a fun training class this time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The saddest thing of all about people like this is that they get more of our hard-earned money if they squeeze out more kids. They have an incentive to bring kids into poverty, while the more responsible people often have half as many kids. Eventually the bums will outnumber us. Have you seen the movie Idiocracy ? It's hilarious, but the beginning made me furious, b/c it's true. The lowest common denominators in society outbreed the rest.

I had seen them on keychains a lot before I ever saw one for sale. I just couldn't bring myself to pay $10 -15 for a few feet of para cord and a ball bearing. I made a few with and without the ball bearings for practice. Without the ball they lose their shape quickly. I didn't like the feel of the ball, so I grabbed a die from a Yhatzee game and tried it. It was perfect...lighter, solid, the square shape is unique, and it keeps its shape better than round. Just my
