I have been a Lions fan since I can remember. I even had season tickets for 20 years until I sold them to a friend last year. So for you that know me know that means I bought my first season tickets before I could drive. All my friends say that I am the biggest Lions fan they know. It has been my gamer tag for almost 10 years now.

I remember reading a similar story over on glock talk about six mo ago. I will see if I can find the thread again, there were several people had the same thing happen. I was looking around to figure out what was going on with my Glock when it would not cycle. I had a totally different issue so it did not help me but it might help you.
Ok so easier to find than I thought, here it is http://glocktalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1177416 -
Got my first bbgun at 3 and first 22 at 5. I am going to use the same timeline as long as I think my kids can handle it. My daughter turns 3 this week and is still jumpy when I shoot my bb gun so I think I will hold off with her. My son is turning 2 and it does not bother him at all so I will probably get him one at 3. I know both have the strength to shoot just need to make sure they are mature enough to handle a bbgun.

I was digging around in the safe and ran across my old Savage model and remembered that it needed a new extractor. So I ventured online to get a new one. I was surprised to find out that they are not a common gun. I did found out that it is basically a model 60 but with a carbine length barrel. I love this gun and can't wait to get it back up and running. So am I holding onto a rare gun or are they such a good gun that no one is giving them up and because of it being basically a model 60 there are not separate parts listed.

Another perspective is that these type of jobs are the jobs that no one in America wants, and the standard of living we enjoy here is in large part on the backs of those overseas workers.
Can't just argue for jobs for the sake of jobs. There are jobs, but the education system in America is failing to produce people qualified to work them.
You think exporting sweatshop jobs is bad? Think about how America has to import educated foreigners to work tech jobs.
American labor is too proud for menial jobs, and too uneducated for tech jobs. That's why there is this impression that there are no jobs. It's an impression because fleshed out, it would say "there are no jobs that can make use of America's mediocre workers while meeting their entitlement attitude in terms of expected pay"
All in all, America lost at its own game of capitalism.
I did all the hiring for my last 2 jobs and we ALWAYS had jobs available. I at one point needed to hire 45-50 people, put the ad out and got 6 applications that month. 4 turned down a 12/hr job because the was to little(only 1 had graduated from highschool) the other 2 never showed up for the interview.
I could go out today and find several jobs that pay 12-13hr that would provide benefits and 40hrs. They may not be the most glamorous jobs but if my family needed it I would.- 1

No refusal dui campaign this weekend, maybe we see some more videos like this one.
I hit a checkpoint a little over a year ago and this is how it went
Officer: good evening
Me: thanks, its a shame you guys have to be out tonight(it was cold and rainy)
Officer: yeah it's not fun but just doing our job
Me: and I thank you for that
Officer: have a nice night
It is amazing how being nice will get you further than being a jerk. He never asked me any questions and I did not have to answer any. The being nice route has gotten me out of a lot of traffic situations. I have been pulled over doing 80 in a 65 and that officer did not even ask for a license or anything, but we did have nice conversation about the sweet mustang that went by while we were talking.
I also think that this big argument about rights is going on is stupid. Last I checked driving was a privilege, I do not see an issue with LE asking questions. I do draw the line at them searching my car without cause or running my license without cause. I know this may not be a popular belief but I don't think that the men and women that out there protecting us need any more grief than what they already get. I am always nice and I have never gotten a ticket I did not deserve.

I am currently going through some Hungarian surplus that I think is 182gr, I could be wrong though. I know that I have several cans of 182gr surplus stuff, just not sure if this was that stuff, it felt like it was when I shot it. When I open a tin and plan on using it all in a couple of months I just dump it all in ammo cans and have it ready so I don't have to worry about opening a can at the range.

I have built up my tolerance on the m38, I now can shoot 20 before I give the shoulder a rest. It is rare if I leave the range without shooting 100 rounds through various Nagants. I can't get enough of Nagants.That's nasty!
A M38 (the lightest Mosin) with a 180g soft point is downright wicked. You really don't want to shoot it more than 5X with a T-shirt on.
My son shoots every gun I have except the M38. -
We have had Geico for 7 years and because they have never raised our rates and after shopping around we found out they were almost 20% cheaper than the next place. We took out 2 claims in the last several years and it was extremely easy and faster than I imagined. We called them, they gave us a list of shops, we dropped the car off and had our car back in less than a week of the accident. It was all covered and we did not have any more contact with Geico after the one phone call. We (the Wife) had an accident when we had a different company and it was the biggest PITA to get the car fixed and everytime I called that companies number it was a call center with people I could not understand. I will be sticking with Geico until something changes.
The one downside to Geico I found is that the homeowners ins is pretty expencive and the multi line dicount is not as good as other companies so we have them with seperate companies.

I'm not ashamed to say that I put a wussy nancy pad on my 91/30.
I have had nancy pads on several of my bigger cal guns but never really liked them. I think it puts most guns on the edge of my LOP. I could never get the guns to fit me as comfortably as with out the pad. I shot 100 rounds out of it that day, 99 no soreness or marks and 1 that left the bruise. I guess next time stop at 99, lol
-
It was the 91/30 that did it. I am still surprised how little it hurts. It goes just below my shirt sleeve so I have been asked by several people if I got a tattoo. Then when I say no and show it to them they say they have not seen that color purple in a bruise before.
-
I still hit the target on that shot and the guy I was shooting with got the bee so it was not all bad. It does not hurt which is suprising.

I was shooting a Nagant I picked up from a member here. I got all set up and just as I was about to pull the trigger a bee landed on me.
I am deathly allergic to bees, so I flinched and pulled the trigger. It hit my bicep and my first thought was "that's going to leave a mark" and I was right.

Thats come up in a couple of threads here. The orginal creator has a letter from the ATF stating it is legal. I have heard from those who have used one that it is soft foam and much to soft to use for a stock.
Tapatalk ate my spelling.I did not see the other threads, sorry
-
I understand that it is fully legal and understand why.http://www.sigsauerguns.com/product-highlights/sb15-pistol-stabilizing-brace/ How many court cases are going to come from these being used and a LE not fully understanding how this is not a SBR. To meit is just anothe item that people are going to use to make those "my rights were violated" videos where they get beligerant with LE.

I love it!!!! I will have to decide between getting more lowers or matched pairs.

I have that same question.

I had a Bag Phone. plugged into cigarette lighter and had no battery.
That is about right. I got my Thunderbird in 97 and I remember fill it up with 93 octane across the line in kY for like 90 some cent a gallon. I was only making about 8-9 bucks an hour then but had no real bills and with the cheap gas I felt like I had good money.
I was driving a Mercury Montery that got about 6 miles to the gallon and loved that I could fill the tank under $20. I would kill for that right now. -
What you say makes sense but the big thing to remember is that it took quite some time of this country being a 'car society' for gas to reach $1.00 per gallon. Heck, I remember when I first started driving in about 1988 I could still get gas for $0.89 per gallon from at least one station in town. So it was probably the early 1990s before gas would exceed $1.00 per gallon as a permanent thing (in this area.) Considering that regular unleaded is now normally in the $3.35 per gallon range (and can easily approach $4.00 per gallon when there is some kind of disaster or other 'shortage') then we can see that the price of gas has risen between 300% and 400% just in the last, two decades. To me, that sounds like gas prices have risen a greater percentage in the last, twenty years than in all the time that there was a mass market for gas, before.
gas was still $0.89 in 1996, I remember getting REALLY mad when it went to $0.99 in 1998. That was the price in MI, not sure what it was around the country because they did not report that kind of stuff on the news and the net was not that useful back then.

David Keith visits my wifes work often. I have encountered him several times at Food City and is always a jerk. He parks his car in the fire lane or handicap spot every time I see him.
Shaq also visits my wife's work and I have spent some time with him, I was wearing a shirt from my old job at the Pistons so he was giving me a hard time and we have some common friends so I do spend time with him a couple of times a year. It was fun seeing him hold my 8lb newborn, lol. He is a really nice guy.
I know of a couple of others that have property here in the Knoxville area but I am not sure it is public knowledge so I will keep it private until I know otherwise.
Here is a link to Famous Knoxvillians some live here but most played at UT of grew up here http://www.cityofknoxville.org/about/famous.asp

We had a sticker from the range on my wifes old car. We only ever had positive comments and never had the car broken into. We do not have any gun related clothes just because we have too many clothes already. My father in law wears gun\hunting shirts all the time, he gets a lot of smiles and nice comments,
