... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_Advisory I was in high school at the time and was sharp enough to realize - it's borderline censorship, it's not going to stop kids from wanting the music AND it takes parents who are involved, interested and engaged in their kids lives on how to choose and select age appropriate music and messages...and it's still in use today...WTF? Profane language and explicit content in music carries a warning, yet virtually everything else is permissible? Are you kidding me? On what bizarre world does this even make sense? A stab at censorship under the guise of "protecting the kids?" Why - because kids can be easily influenced by propaganda through music, be it pro OR anti - guv'mint.

Survey says: 35 percent of Americans would expatriate
A.J. Holst replied to Grand Torino's topic in General Chat
We've got so many rights, they have superceded freedom. -
African Americans call out the gun grabbers.
A.J. Holst replied to Volphin's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Great video even though the NRA is not the great racial equalizer as presented. Interestingly, it was then CA governor Reagan who started the slippery slope of gun control to disarm the Black Panthers, who according to Wiki, armed themselves to protect black neighborhoods from unchecked crime and corrupt police. -
Is reloading 9mm cost effective?
A.J. Holst replied to ehull20000's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I don't reload as it would take too much time away from posting on TGO. However, I do have friends who do... I believes battleop captures the essence and zen of Reloading. -
Fiocchi 9mm $199 Shipped 1k Rounds
A.J. Holst replied to mcordell's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
That's better than pre-scare pricing. Got the ammo mfg'ing running at full capacity and demand is slowing down... If you're like me, you probably have built your reserves up, so any shooting you do you've got options: 1. buy as you shoot, it's plentiful local and on line. 2. Shoot from your stock and restock at current and lower market price 3. Trade 9mm ammo for pants. Btw - already sold out, thanks for the heads up on a great deal! -
No experience with .380; I've had no failures with their 115gr 9mm in my CZ'S and MK9.

Ways to Carry Shotgun Shells
A.J. Holst replied to shotgunshooter's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
How tactical? Can you go practical? First shotgun class I did I worked out of pockets. With a good belt, you can carry a bunch of stuff. Simple sling on my rem 870. Next class I used a fisherman's pouch with the sling adjusted perfectly for reloading. Use the gear you're most likely to be using? My innocuous fishing bag is zippered, semi-waterproof and easily stored near my shotgun ready to go. I'm still learning about "employing a shotgun in a tactical situation," so I keep it simple. -
Here's a pretty good review when they came to market. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/12/joe-grine/gun-review-taurus-ct-9-g2-carbine/ My next step would be googling "Taurus ct9 reliability to find more recent user experiences. If you do commit, check on magazine availability and pony up for 8- 10 at time of purchase...

I'm surprised we can still buy real fireworks in TN.

Were your department's attorneys concerned about invasion of privacy when a citizen is approached by LEO for any reason?

CNN mistakes Dildo Flag for ISIS at Gay Pride parade
A.J. Holst replied to Erik88's topic in General Chat
I'm not sure what thumbing their collective noses at ISIS accomplishes...it is funny especially when you consider their oh so tolerant view of same sex relationships... -
Funny the first time, classic on your re - release!

Department of Homeland Security
A.J. Holst replied to A.J. Holst's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Propaganda for the troops themselves, If you worked for the Dept of Safety and now you work for the DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY... -
So I get my HCP renewal and the envelope is from the the State of TN but also prominently marked (in much bolder and large type) DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY. What gives? I always had a problem with the Patriot Act as it gives a pretty liberal powers to guv'mint...did anyone consider what could happen when these powers transfer to the next president? It's a great idea when "our" guy is in office...

If safe...shoot first, ask questions later

...for being lights in the darkness, examples of women and men who believe in "do unto others", for tolerance when we disagree, for offering help and assistance to strangers, producers instead of looters, righteous in the face of evil, willing to give a hand up not a hand out, taking personal responsibility and accountability for your actions and expecting others to do the same, for having a moral compass in a country without God where everything is permissible. You all are a great bunch of people, keep up the good fight, I'm glad I found TGO.

Concur, We address this very topic during our safety discussion when we have a Randy class out in the valley.

I like Dolo's suggestion as long as you are certain of no water intrusion. Spread it with a small notch trowel and "roll it" to ensure adhesive transfer. The only downside to tradition flooring adhesives is they are organic, meaning if the repeatedly get wet, they will begin to break down into a gooey mess. An epoxy would be the best choice Be sure all surfaces are clean and free of oils, dirt, etc.

Who will guard the guards? An unarmed citizenry at the mercy of a liberal OR conservative guv'mint. Won't happen here? Why? Because our "elected servants" actually believe in the rights of man or have any type of moral compass that respects the individual? The 2A is for us to protect ourselves against oppressive guv'mint; the Declaration of Independence charges us with the duty to change guv'mint when it becomes oppressive. From a self defense perspective, which could be considered the "next level" of the 2A, I would like to see the statistics for those killed by legally owned and obtained guns while attempting to commit a criminal attack against the gun owner.
