If you believe it, supposedly it is easy for gangs to recruit young men and women. The leaders fulfill a role most kids are looking for, strong male figures which is missing from many of their lives. The gang becomes their family, only a bit more violent and dysfunctional than mine. Of course, I'm a older, middle class, non gang affiliated white guy with no degree in sociology or experience in social work, so my comments are probably racist and anecdotal with no legitimate proof of fact.

It took about 90 days for ours to become completely comfortable, it's obvious when they take mental ownership of you, your family, home and property. It is awesome how she walks with you. Thanks for saving a lost one!

Did you see the $1M smash and grab out of Florida? Not guns, high end designer bags. Simply replicating the pattern of Chicago and San Francisco high end retail areas. It seems the thieving criminal element is becoming more emboldened as there are few to no consequences. I'm not an alarmist, but if no consequences, what's the deterrent to stop robbing of passersby, homes, and carjacking? The new spin will be, "retailers aren't doing enough to secure their businesses before, during or after hours." to "he/she should have known driving a nice car, wearing a nice watch / jewelry, or dressed in name brand clothing is a target for the criminal element."

Glws!

This is awesome.

Meet Boo, our German Shepherd. Acquired her from a foster family, she's about 3 years old. Her previous life was at best, neglected. I no longer need an alarm clock, guaranteed wake up nudge no later than 630a for bathroom and breakfast.

I pray the celebration of hope, peace and light carries forth from yesterday to today. I discovered Acts 4:30 in the hospital as my wife was treated for a stroke. I witness it come true each day. Father, please extend your hand to heal and to perform signs and wonders in the name of your holy servant Jesus. He can heal physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and relationally. I pray this for each of you!

This is his continental US, gun friendly state travel kit...

I drove past the Nathan Bedford Forrest state park exit earlier this week, how long before it's renamed?

I think Bays Mountain Golf course off Burnett Station added a shooting range to keep the doors open...the course has been non op for many years.

The comment about future expansion is interesting. Indoor range to rival (or surpass) Bud's? I am somewhat familiar with that area of town, it should be a pretty good location for this type of venture.

According to the story told in Dope Sick on Netflix, Purdue Pharma and the Sacklers did this very thing. How accurate? It's Netflix, but my guess is some truth within the televised drama.

Is he lying in this case? Other right wing news sources infer no justice no peace being spewed if found not guilty.

Tucker Carlson inferred this is another move by the left to dissuade folks from defending themselves against the BLM / antifa mob. If found guilty, the definition of self defense is not what I think it is.

Retired car dealer in his second career in the gun shop business?

I've heard tell if we all go electric, our power grid is insufficient. No idea if true, false or simple fear mongering. For those saving the environment, what magic source charges those EVs? I'm not opposed to electric but I drive 3000-4000 miles per month for work. Taking time to charge for a trip to Jackson, TN or MS is not viable in my world. A few years ago Cadillac was playing around with small generators powering electric motors / charging batteries; haven't heard anything else about that technology.

Not a point, a fact! Adding more just never seems to work out.

According to one news report I saw yesterday, highest in 30 years. Yep, it's all good, I know what my core budget is and it's particularly easy for me to stop spending money on extras. A few million liked minded upper lower and middle class folks follow my lead, let's see what really happens. Reducing spending and increasing cash / savings seems prudent with the millionaire tax on over $400k... This bothersome noise from DC supposedly aggregates totals and targets unrealized income which includes equity in a home or those evil tax deferred 401Ks that only certain, lucky, fortunate individuals get. Add 1.5 trillion in new spending for infrastructure, where 20ish percent is actually for infrastructure, and rain money in the masses, my guess is 81 million voters are going to get what they probably didn't exactly think they were voting for. Supply chain? Americans sitting at home buying excess items on the internet are the problem, be a part of the solution!

I wanted a lever action and ended up with a '56 Savage 99 acquired from Best Gun Buddy. They have as neat a history as any firearm out there, have a 99 year run. Mine would be shooter grade, so it has an awesome patina and the case hardening on the level is pretty cool.

Add for Camels? "More kids smoke Camels than ever before...soft on the T-zone, that's T for taste and T for throat!"

All manner of roles in financial services, started in '88 All kinds of consumer lending, 20 years in indirect auto. Processing, collections, risk management, sales; basically soup to nuts.
