My wife went, really enjoyed it. She liked the plausible explanations on how you might actually manage a lot of critters on a boat. In my opinion, the Earth ain't quite as young or old as folks suspect.

I understand why you finished your mk18, but agree, the burnt bronze was a cool look.

We're going to France, hope the yellow jackets are less active on cooler months

Thanks for all the help - this pace is great!!! Good news, need it by end of August. Need to get busy now

We have a running thread on contractors, it's a vent thread, so you get the idea. Definitely check with your agent for local outfits close to Jeff City. Good luck and welcome to East Tennessee!

$399 for the Ruger seems to be the deal of the day!

Having interacted with some state legislators, they claim to like non form letter / multi signature inquiries from citizens. They do pay attention, though the return answer in template form seems like a blow off.

Knoxville area. On line info is not clear. Can someone in the know post the where and how - I have my birth certificate and cash.

I think it's a neat alternative to a PCC

What joy in the promise of eternal life in Heaven! As Easter approaches, I hope the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ helps renew and refresh your faith.

If it wasn't for gun stuff, I would never go to a big box and even today, rarely. Gander Mountain was overpriced The only thing I can ever remember buying at Dick's is the covert carbine tennis racket bag I use. One visit 3 years ago and no recollection of anything prior. Maybe he'll want to start making money again with the $36 billion divorce settlement plus his investment in her new start up. Never was, never will be a customer. You can catch some good ammo deals at Academy and they have a fair selection of general stuff. Haven't been in a Field and Stream yet. Bass Pro is fun to visit, but Bud's and Smoky Mountain Knife Works are most convenient for me. SMKW is becoming my go to for off the shelf ammo. 9mm as cheap as 8.99/50, .380 11.99/50 Plentiful SD in all calibers. Didn't price it, but looked to have quite of bit of .32 - .327 mag as well. For gun purchases, I would rather buy from the fine folks peddling their wares in the TGO Trading Post. Unfortunately, I haven't found a convenient, excellent LGS.

https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2019/04/04/colion-noir-calls-out-sen-cory-booker-after-he-reaffirms-his-commitment-to-take-the-nra-down/ I discovered who Colion Noir was through his review of the CZ Evo Pistol a few years back. Because he is a minority gun enthusiast and activist, the antis have a hard time attacking him with the same old, emotionally charged rhetoric. Calling me a narrow minded, Bible clutching, gun totin', (probable rascist, islamo, homophobe) red neck, white cracker nationalist is acceptable. Why not replace red neck, white cracker with any other ethnic slur to label non-white Christian (or any religion for that matter) , any sexual orientation (i.e. the Pink Pistols) gun owning, law abiding citizen? Because then, under the rules of PC, you have no choice but to debate with facts. Have seen him on different talk shows via Youtube - definitely one of the good guys!

I've got one with a .40 and .357 barrel. It has been reliable using both 224 and 229 mags. Trigger is very nice. Short, fat grip feels odd to me, so it is tucked away for access if John Wick comes a knockin' It's an odd size for a sub compact, being on the upper end of hefty / bulky. Coupled with Grayfox's research on reliability, not so strange they discontinued it.

Regarding Traffic Stops & Action After Self Defense
A.J. Holst replied to a topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Great thread, not much to add other than I won't be using ,"fear for my life." More like, "dude was going to kill me, rape my wife, abduct my family member," because: I was paying attention, this is what he was doing and I was unable to escape. Regarding traffic stops, no issues here. -
I fell in love when she pulled the Tiffany blue switchblade.

I have read multiple positive reviews on both the American and Security. If I wasn't heavily invested in CZ and looking for another striker fired, I'd give them a serious look. My first carry gun was an SP101 and first auto loader was a P95.

I've shot 1500-2000 rounds of this stuff since September 2018. Reliable. Not sure if it's dirtier than other range ammo, I routinely clean after shooting.

Question about out of state visitors?
A.J. Holst replied to Grayfox54's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I like the idea of constitutional carry but actually like having a state-issued permit. In the event of interaction with law enforcement I would rather show a government-issued ID card versus a pocket-sized version of the Bill of Rights Under constitutional carry, what prevents law enforcement from detaining you to make sure you are legal (running your info like they do for a traffic stop) -
I don't disagree with the herding , creating confusion, and stress but these folks didn't sign up for FoF training. Airsoft / Sims at close range is extremely dangerous, even with protective gear.

And you can take 'em skiing once you hook 'em. Pretty cool rig, good luck!

A Brit with a gun? Will wonders never cease? Welcome the light side (or right side) of the Force!

This is pretty cool. Income dropped $6k from 17 to 18 Tax burden dropped $6k from 17 to 18 Will someone please explain why I should work harder to make up the income this year. And, how many tax payers are making payments on previous years, how much credit card debt reflects taxes due. Seems the actual tax collection is the Ponzi scheme. Paid $1100 this year, so pretty good on payroll deduction.

Add a sport coat. I'd suggest a pattern (box plaid, hounds tooth, etc) vs. a solid color. Recently switched to 9oclock OWB, easy to ensure my jacket is always positioned for concealment in all situations.
