The supply/demand/production-capacity is why we have short-term shortages of specific calibers. One concern regarding the long-term implications of last night[i] could[/i] be more expensive ammo beyond basic inflation or short-term shortages. With no change in control of the legislature last night*, Obama would likely have to use his executive powers to effectively create gun control laws. One way he [i]might[/i] do that would be to have the EPA or BATFE ban or more heavily regulate chemicals/substances used in ammunition. If it suddenly costs Winchester et. al. more to produce, that gets passed along to us. How much shooting would you do if WWB was $30 a box? $50 a box? $75 a box? Don't say "I'd reload" because that powder may suddenly cost 10 times what it does today, and/or you might require a special license to buy it like the EPA did with certain types of A/C refrigerant. Or he may basically do what he has done these last 4 years...scare gun owners while not actually doing much of anything. Not for lack of desire, but for lack of importance or lack of will to expend political capital on it. I expect that the economy, budget, debt, unemployment, energy, and healthcare will be the main focus of his 2nd term, much like the 1st. But with no need to campaign again, specific issues like gun control, gay marriage, travel to Cuba, etc. could all be up for grabs. It's a matter of weighing risk with likelihood when determining if you should stock-up or not. *Obama wants to bring back the 1994 AWB and make it permanent. But there was a Dem House and Dem Senate at that time. Unless something happens with the mid-term elections, he won't get that luxury Bill Clinton had.

I placed an order with AIM as soon as Fox News called Ohio.....

Voted early last week in Bellevue. 5 minute wait. In and out in about 10 minutes.

[quote name='Hershmeister' timestamp='1352211277' post='839955'] The question remains - if you have a HCP then under what legal authority can the police take your pistol? [/quote] Under TCA 39-17-1351 ( t ) [quote]Any law enforcement officer of this state or of any county or municipality may, within the realm of the officer's lawful jurisdiction and when the officer is acting in the lawful discharge of the officer's official duties, disarm a permit holder at any time when the officer reasonably believes it is necessary for the protection of the permit holder, officer or other individual or individuals. The officer shall return the handgun to the permit holder before discharging the permit holder from the scene when the officer has determined that the permit holder is not a threat to the officer, to the permit holder, or other individual or individuals provided that the permit holder has not violated any provision of this section and provided the permit holder has not committed any other violation that results in the arrest of the permit holder.[/quote] It's the "reasonably believes" part that's sketchy.

White Bridge = Winning!

T-dog was already expendable. Then he was made more so by adding in another token black guy with muscles and little dialog. It was going to be him or the big inmate sooner or later. My money was on T-Dog because of the emotional investment viewers have in the original crew. If the inmate got it, it's not as impactful/dramatic. I agree that only Rick and Carl are safe. I don't think he'll become Shane 2.0 in the sense of becoming a sociopath, but I can see him cracking down on discipline in the group more.

Kwik [i]is[/i] a tool, but he's a law-abiding tool. His M.O. is to find the very edges of legality and then do exactly that and no more. Since that puts him in unusual territory (Radnor Lake and Belle Meade) it puts LE in a bad spot trying to figure out what he has done wrong. Then when it turns out the answer to that is "nothing" they let him go and he sues to get the laws changed. He somehow thinks it's going to loosen up the laws, but I have a suspicion that if he has any impact at all it will be to have them going the other way. For instance, instead of making the state agree that an AR pistol is indeed a pistol, and agreeing that it's A-OK to carry with an HCP (it currently is), he could have the affect of having the state pass laws making pistol versions of rifles not eligible under HCP rules. They could do that by specifying a maximum overall length that would keep them off limits but wouldn't affect any "normal" handgun. He doesn't seem to be able to see this, or doesn't care. Either way, he's a tool. I don't like his methods, but he's not stupid. He seems to know his laws. Still, poke the bear long enough and you're gonna get bit.

I have one of those old spring loaded ones that jam spikes into the tunnel when tripped. It works. Setting is can be a delicate job. You have to remove a small top of the tunnel to get the trigger plate down inside, then push the trap in place, all while holding the spikes up and trying not to impale your own hand. then delicately replacing the dirt on the top of the tunnel. Mine looks more or less like this. In theory, the trigger plate sits on top of the tunnel and the mole moving through will push the ground up and set it off. I find that mine never works that way, thus the description above of getting the trigger inside the tunnel.

A ranger might ask to see your permit, but that's all.

1929....black Tuesday....black deer....coincidence?

My best advice is to look at some of the sites that sell C&R firearms (like aimsurplus). Check out the prices of things and decide how many of those you would [b]actually[/b] buy during the life of the C&R. Don't count the things you'd like to have, but what you think you'd really purchase. Multiply that number by $25 (TICS and FFL fee if you didn't have a C&R). The difference between that and the C&R fee is your actual savings over paying for a transfer on every one. Then decide if that savings is worth (a) the privacy and (b ) needing to keep a simple bound book for C&R eligible items. It's different for everyone. I wouldn't bother with it if you'll only really pick up 2 or 3. Just pay the transfer and move on. If you buy gear/supplies/tools from Brownell's or Midway, they give C&R holders their dealer pricing, so that helps, but only if you actually shop there.

But the body doesn't move. Just the biting head that can't move.

I don't think so. I would assume they've all been drinking it, but the Zs in the woods came after the Guv and his guys.

There's nothing wrong with that. I've bought several from a trunk. I've done several deals via the TGO classifieds. It's the only way I'll buy/sell via the web. You can always put something in your TGO ad stating that the buyer must have been a TGO member for at least 6 months, or have over 150 posts, or have an iTrader rating of at least 4. Or other things like that. Then you know at least that you're not dealing with some completely random person who found the site and your ad via a Google search and just joined up to buy it. Be sure to clarify in your ad if you will require an HCP or a Bill of Sale. You can always ask for one during a transaction, but if you're going to require it, be up front about it.

Congratulations. Now it's the end of an inning with a star! Thank you for your service

I'm interested too. I took the self-defense class at Vol State and learned a few things. I know there's always more to know.

So....I'm hoping Aaron and Nora were smart enough to keep their "dueling" pistols. Once again, those pine forests of Northern Indiana make an appearance. Dirty people make for bad TV. Unless it's Dirty Jobs.

I see a run for Congress in his future. The person being relieved of command over Benghazi is a general. The admiral mentioned in the article is apparently unrelated to Benghazi. Since your OP linked the removal from command to ordering a response during Benghazi, I was just pointing out that the admiral isn't necessarily a part of that move, but the general is.

He's a general, not an admiral. the article mentions an admiral being releived as well, but for entirely different reasons unrelated to Libya.

At breakfast, scientist guy sure was drinking a LOT of that tea. Must be a leftover stash from Mrs. Winner's.

He reminds me a lot of a younger James Cromwell (aka Jack Bauer's dad in Season 6 of 24). http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000342/

Ammo boxes or adverts were what I was thinking too. I've been working on my Google-fu and have yet to turn up anything like them.

If it goes to production, expect a couple of Eco-Boost V6 options and maybe a V8.

Oh no. These would get him expelled for bringing a weapon to school. He'd better not draw any pictures of guns to go with the printed ammo. Then it's probably a GFSZA violation.
