That is where I went too...

Oatmeal. I was feeling lazy.

One of the comments had me in stitches.

So the cat walks into an Arby's up here in Louisville, KY and is asked by an officer to cover his gun. The cat says "No." Basically what I am getting is that he didn't have his CCDWP here in Kentucky, as open carry is legal, to cover it would be illegal without his permit. So he didn't. There was a brief confrontation and eventually the gentleman was restrained by a National Guardsman and the officer and arrested. The news story doesn't update it, but it seems he was released as soon as he reached the police station. http://www.wdrb.com/story/19319955/man-arrested-at-louisville-arbys-after-refusing-to-hide-firearm

It has been a day or two since I have had a steamer pot from Joe's, but I am pretty sure that is corn.

I am right eyed dominant. Much like everything else in life (scissors, can openers, etc...) I just learned to do it right handed. The nifty thing is not having an off hand.

Never heard it referred to as such, but yes. I have a wicker basket at the door and then a wooden crate (I think it was a Tangelo box) in the bedroom. Pocket knives, name tags, couple of concert tickets, several watches, a necklace or two. The one at the door is my catch all when I come home from work. Wallet, knife, zippo, chap stick, cigarette case, paracord bracelet, watch and pocket change.

I wouldn't really have a problem with the no reloads thing. They can't guaranty the quality of your reloads. So I understand that completely. The impressive part is that they will allow you to shoot your own ammo out of their rented guns, that is a huge boon right there. CCA requires you to use their ammo (at a 50% markup) in any of their guns. The only indoor range I have up here has strict policies, no steel case, brass is theirs once it hits the floor, pay by the half hour, etc... They then turn around and sell my brass. I don't shoot there unless I have too. But I won't say that I haven't or won't again.

My father had one in .30/40. He was very fond of it. I know it was one of the prizes of his collection when I was a kid. My mother sold it, and he never really got over that. I still have a handful of .30/40 in all the stuff he left me, but that is about all I know about them.

Killers was a great album.

Y'uns are spelling it wrong first of all. Y'uns is most of an Appalachia thing. Y'all is the southern thing.

Truth =/= Emotion.

The Just Right Carbine or an AR build would be my personal pick. I am currently trying to decided between the two. With an AR build you can get the LWD lower and it will take Glock Mags as well. Meaning that for all intents and purposes, the Kel-Tec is old news, unless you want a plastic folder. The JRC doesn't fold, but it takes all the AR accessories, and you can swap the bolt handle and ejection from side to side. Then there is the fact that you can pick them up for a little more than an AR upper, making it is slightly better deal than an AR build. With an AR build though (sans the LWD Lower) you are using off the shelf parts and you can modify or build the rifle into different calibers if that is your cup of tea. Just pulling numbers, you can build a 9mm rifle using a Colt style upper and mag block for $500 on your own lower. The JRC runs around the same.

Why? They will never be able to convince me with their figures, stats or logic. I will never be able to convince them with my figures, stats or logic. I prefer to walk away than waste my breath. For the record though, good luck finding a full auto AK pattern rifle, not very many were ever brought into this country legally before 1986.

It is an alloy frame. Those states have enacted laws to combat Saturday Night Specials. Heritage offers a steel framed version for those states, but I think it is priced higher. To be honest, with the amount of rounds through mine, I am not worried about their durability. To be sure, they aren't a Ruger Single Six, but you aren't paying a Ruger Single Six price tag either. I had a hard time finding a used SS under $350, which is around what I paid for BOTH of my Heritage Rough Riders. If you are wanting a gun that you know will outlast you and your heirs, get the Ruger. If you want an affordable, reliable and fairly accurate pistol for a good price, get the Heritage. Unless you are made of money, then I guess you can afford the best of the best.

I am a fan of grayscale as well. It will age better over time too. I think I have one tattoo with color, and it was my very first.

I wouldn't have turned it down.

I thought I had a picture of them, but I can't find it right now.I got it and a Ruger 10/22 the day Academy opened in Knoxville. I hadn't seen the grips before, and hell for the money, I just couldn't leave it there all alone if I was already paying for the background check...

Well that is a new one. I just got a note from my daughter's school telling me that the school board can't afford to pay for their secondary insurance, and if I want my daughter covered, I have to pay the premium. Thank you Obamacare... But it is all good, his voters will be fine, as anyone that qualifies for free or reduced lunch has the premiums waived. But not me.

I have two different Heritage Rough Riders in .22LR. With one convertible cylinder. One has the plain rosewood (?) grips, the other has the white polymer ivory grips with the Gadsen Flag motto engraved. I am into each of them for well under two bills. I have run 2000+ rounds through the pair of them, with the rosewood gripped one taking the brunt of them, including ~200 .22WMR. They are easy handling, and easy shooting, At ten to twenty yards I will pop empty shotgun hulls for hours. You can go to their website and order grips, which yes, they do come in pink.

This is not something I do often, but after a brief period of recollection, I am going to retract my argument. When I ran through a brief list in my head of folks I know or have associated that happen to have a tattoo on their neck, outside of collectors (those who cover themselves in tattoos because it is their hobby,) I am struck with an obvious lack of folks I would trust. I am left with a very short list of myself, my mother and a close friend. I have a scorpion on my throat area, and some initials on the back of my neck, my mother has a butterfly up the side of her neck, and my friend has some tribal on the back of his neck. A short list indeed. I still disagree with the simple idea of distrusting a person with a tattoo, which I know your argument was not based on. I just felt the need to make the statement that there are folks out there with tattoos are that trustworthy and not felons. Now had you said tear drops tattooed under the eye, well, I can't think of anyone that has those that is honest.

Here you go. It is an old picture, and of poor quality. I just wanted to make sure my neck tattoo was visible. Oh, and my ears are gauged to 9/16th of an inch with buffalo bone for good measure.

My daughter starts in the morning, I am sure she will bring home a list similar to it, she did last year...

If he is still on parole, that would be one way to go about it. If he isn't on parole any longer, no one to call. That is kinda closeminded don't you think? You preface it by saying that you don't have anything against folks with tattoos, then continue to say that it is a good way to tell if they have a felony conviction?I happen to have many tattoos, encompassing a large portion of my body, including on my neck. I also happen to be a middle class, middle management, law abiding citizen with a mostly spotless criminal record. I might speed on occasion. I know what you meant, but I still kinda took offense. My tattoos are all covered when I put a shirt and tie on and go to work. But they are still there. Maybe it is a generational or cultural divide. However, tattoos are a lot more commonplace now, and I think you are doing yourself a great disservice writing a such a large chunk of the population off without so much as a second thought. To the OP, you did the right thing in telling him no. However, where there is a will, there is a way. I don't know what you can do to stop him, or than lobby congress to ban all guns. But a call to the local PD to ask around might not hurt.
