  1. and blind.
  2.   I quit using hammers years ago. I finally got smart and upgraded to a gas-powered auger.
  3.   FIFY!
  4. Perfecta .308 is in stock at the West Nashville Wally, but it's now $13.98 a box so I suspect they'll have plenty for a while. :cry:
  5. Have tent, will travel.
  6.   Invite your friendly neighborhood monkeylizard over to walk you through it. :)   I'd be glad to help you assemble the parts and look over your shopping list for completenesss before you buy anything.
  7. In general, it's no longer possible to build one for less than you can buy one and end up with a comparable box.   I use www.tomshardware.com to compare parts, especially CPUs, GPUs, and drives. They have lots of benchmarks and several guides including some for best parts for gaming rigs. You'll find there's usually a significant price drop once you move off the latest model of CPU or GPU. I'd drop down a level on the CPU and spend as much as possible on the GPU. Today's CPUs are so far ahead of the stuff from just a few years ago that the games are no longer CPU bound, generally speaking, but still benefit from top end graphics cards. RAM is cheap, so load it up.   SSD drives rock! Defnitely put your OS on one of those.   I usually get my parts from TigerDirect, Fry's, NewEgg, and occasionally Amazon.
  8.   My comment was about the revised bill. I see no point in it. I agree that the original bill is more than just a symbolic statement.
  9. Charlie allows it at CHMR, but asks it to stay in short bursts to keep muzzle climb from sending rounds over the berm. His range goes to 100 yards.
  10. Do we really need a law that says "we won't spend money to do things that are against our laws"? I sort of thought that's why we have those laws to begin with.
  11. An ammosexual? Is that someone who makes love to his 1911?
  12.   I think you just solved the mystery of saggy pants. It's not a fashion statement, it's the C9's fault.
  13.   If that holster was included then it doubled the value, so yeah, good score :up:
  14. Thanks for the great replies. JeffL and I are going to try to get together for this. If our schedules won't play well, I'll take one of you other guys up on it.
  15. Free float. It's a Samson Evolution using a standard barrel nut. Do you have the special vise block needed for the TGO uppers? The clamshell ones apparently don't work, but the ones with the pins do.
  16. I agree in this case. I think it would be justified here, but for different legal reasons than it was in Utah. Some other fact could surface such as the perp being 20 yards away at the time he was shot and that would change things here, but would make no difference in Utah.
  17.   2,000 miles per year? You put little old ladies in Pasadena to shame.
  18.   No, but it could play into whether or not a "reasonable person" would consider the attacker to be a threat to their life or of serious bodily harm as defined in TCA. No weapon, in my mind, makes that a little harder to establish. Not impossible, just more difficult.
  19. If I read the story correctly, the shooter was not being carjacked. He saw someone else being carjacked and intervened. I would agree that a reasonable person would think that the vicitm's life is in danger.   However, the unarmed carjacker turned from the car and moved towards the shooter. That's where I'd need more information to give my own opinion about if this would be a legal shoot or not in TN. Did the shooter know or should have known the perp was unarmed? What distances are we talking about here? Was there a significant size disparity between the shooter and the perp? Stuff like that and others would all come in to play here in TN.   The article does say the perp was lunging in an effort to grab the gun. At that point, yeah, a reasonable person would have been in fear of his life and lethal force would be good to go, in my not-a-judge-or-jury opinion,
