  1. They sure hammered that message home.
  2. Amy was just telling me yesterday that she was browsing dealerships on her phone and asked me why are there so many $100K trucks. I had no sane answer.
  3. I worked at McDonald's in HS. I was there when they rolled out McNuggets, McDLT (possibly my favorite menu item ever), and the FIRST time they brought back the McRib. It was actually a decent place to work back then.
  4. The window was one of the best features ever, I miss it.
  5. Sounds like a good time to me. I hope you post lots of pics.
  6. I dated a girl in HS that drove a red Mustang II with a white vinyl top. That car was a complete hunk of junk. Her brother drove a brown Pinto wagon w/ a moon roof that was wrecked so bad and repaired so many times that it went down the road kind of sideways and the wheelbase was almost 2" longer than the factory specs. LOL
  7. They had a better one after that with a blue handle you pull up to do a power slide.
  8. If this passed I bet a lot of us would start shopping for a new gun w/ a threaded barrel, replacement barrels that are threaded, and/or suppressor height sights. I'm in
  9. I have an orange plastic case with a pad inside. I spray some OneShot on it every once in a while and roll about 1 in 50 pcs of brass onto the pad. The Dillon XL650 and pistol only may be why that works for me. I'm only on my 2nd bottle ever.
  10. I put one on one on a .22 pistol and I still struggle finding the dot, but it's 100% my fault for lack of practice. It is MUCH easier for follow-up shots, but I pocket-carry. I can't EDC one unless I go back to belt holsters.
  11. Amen! If she's carrying a gun that's the biggest hurdle already defeated.
  12. I saw a really good breakdown of the sound graphs taken at the mic on the podium of the shots fired. It showed the point when the bullet broke the sound barrier followed by the report from the rifle. That delay indicated almost exactly a 400 foot shot. Later in the sound graphs was 1 or 2 other shots (I forget which it was), that had a delay indicating the shots were fired from 800 ft away. I wonder if that's the other counter-sniper team we didn't even know was on playing field until now. I've seen the "human figure on the water tower" images and I don't see what they see, so I haven't heard of any other multiple shooter theories.
  13. I have to wonder who told her to say that, because I don't believe she has enough gun sense to know if the range was 600 inches or 600 miles.
  14. Knowing my wife CAN shoot, but doesn't practice, makes me even more concerned that 5 or 6 rounds won't be enough. I'm less concerned about her pistol jamming and her not being able to clear it than I am about her revolver running out of ammo. I may not be certain she can clear the jam, but I am definitely certain she could not reload that revolver fast enough to stay alive.
  15. He reluctantly let me have a turn with it. I see why he likes it. We had a red dot on it, but we both hated it. This rifle has really really good open sights.
  16. It's awesome to have friends to shoot with, but it's even better to create your own. My 9 yr old grandson clearly favors head shots. Even at only 50 ft, I think he's doing pretty good for his age, especially with open sights. If he keeps this up, he'll be my 1st round draft pick in the zombie apocalypse draft. He shot a mix of offhand and with a rest. My dad was a hunter, so he taught me to use a rest whenever you can. I think that's solid advice for hunting, but I want my grandson to be more well-rounded. This is his favorite firearm, a Rossi Bravo lever action .22lr that we bought from a forum member last year. He might actually love shooting even more than me, LOL. We really enjoy the TWRA range, SRHEC, on Percy Priest lake. I think next time I'll see how he handles 50 yards with and without a scope.
  17. Every kid had realistic toy guns and none of us got shot by cops or neighbors. I remember coloring over the orange tips later w/ a Sharpie or breaking the tip off with some pliers. Still didn't get shot by cops or neighbors.
  18. I like that idea better than a folding stock, but I bet I can't afford one.
  19. My tshirt was here by Tuesday.
  20. I just rewatched and caught the part about them seeing Crooks with rangefinder 42 mins before the shooting and SS spotted him on the roof 20 mins before the shooting. Jeez, folks wonder how conspiracy theories start, that's how, right there.
  21. This guy claims 1 in 20 adults in American owns an AR-style rifle. Think that's accurate? Start at 3:56 for that quote.
  22. Revolvers are so much prettier than pistols.
  23. The last time I was looking for a GP 100, I found a Security Six that I liked just as good. I'll be shooting 38 over 357 about 100:1, so the overbuilt GP just didn't make sense to me. I like the looks of the GP over the "Six" though.
  24. A character named Reggie in an M. Night Shyamalan movie, "Lady in the Water" comes to mind:
  25. I pray you're right and also believe the majority of them do exactly as you say. Greed almost always trumps every other factor.
