I have a gen4 34 and love it. Great pistols IMO.  I'd love to have a model 23.  Maybe someday soon.

yup....been here 3 years and have had a large time. Learned a heckuva lot too!!

Wouldn't open for me.

I carry my Glock 30.  It's not the S, but I really like it.

I love The Floyd....Gilmore is a great guitarist in my book. If you are a PF lover, listen to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zzBOFjrF8Q       It's a demo version of Young Lust. first time I heard it I just kept playing it over and over for about an hour.  YouTube has several of PF demos you can listen to. It makes you wonder how many times a song changed before it made it to vinyl.   If they hadn't lost their way as a group and let their individual ego's overpower them, I can't begin to imagine what they could have produced in the way of music.   New album to be titled "Endless River" and based on sessions during the recording of DB, all unreleased songs.  Interesting to say the least. I'm excited about this news.

  It's an outstanding book. Gonna go see the movie this week.  I've never been in a Costco and I live 15 miles from one. If this is true, I'll never see the inside of one. Oh well, I'm 61 and got by fine this long without one.  If they are so anti freedom, they can KORA.!!

I wonder if he writes "CON-MAN" in the Occupation line of his Income Tax forms?  If he does Obama might take him in as an entourage member!! LOL.

I'm having a BLT right now that's LOADED with thick smoked bacon!!!!

  Crap...I've been working way too much overtime!!  When did this law pass?  I remember it being discussed here, but I thought it was put on the back burner or something. I think that's great that it did pass though.

A Native American group has sued the Cleveland Indians over their mascot.

I've read the TN tax info on auto's but couldn't really understand what happens in individual non dealer trades.  My question is who pays taxes on a trade where one party trades a vehicle and gives money to boot.  Say one vehicle is valued at $7000 and is being traded for a vehicle valued at $12000 and a deal is made that includes $5,000 difference?  How would the taxes roll in this deal for each individual? I"m thinking about doing a deal similar to this and I'd really appreciate any info.   edited to add: I have the $12,000 vehicle.... :snore:   Thanks!!

No way Jose....that's plum crazy!

The Senate passed a bill to allow veterans experiencing long wait times or who live more than 40 miles from a Department of Veterans Affairs medical facility to see doctors outside the VA health system, as long as the doctors participate in the Medicare program or are at a federally qualified health center, Defense Department facility or a facility funded by the Indian Health Service. It would also authorize the VA secretary to demote or fire poor-performing Senior Executive Service employees. Sen. Lamar Alexander voted YES Sen. Bob Corker voted NO

I thought I'd come back and say that I'm glad I did go to ebay and look at the sold guitars. I was going to sell this one for 1600, but I see the "mint" 514's are going for $1900 to over $2K.  Dinged 514's are going for $1400+.  I guess I'll give ebay a try.  I've never sold anything on there but I've bought a few things.  Thanks for the heads up!!

Taylor forum....now I like that idea. ThanksTrickyNickey.  Didn't mean to post this reply so quick so had to edit. I'll look into the forum, I was also just trying to see if anyone here may know of some good guitar dealers that are fair in their trades. I do understand what you mean though about trading guns at gunshops. It's really just so hard to sell anything nowadays like on craigslist money is just so tight. I'll figure something out. If anyone does know of a good place to trade guitars I'd be willing to drive a good ways to make a good trade.   Thanks again for the input.

How many models and which ones are the best for home defense?

My first question is: Has anyone ever traded guitars with Guitar Center? I’m betting they low ball your trade and stick it to you with their guitar, but I just thought I’d ask. Where I’m at: I have is a VERY prestine (as in perfect) Taylor 514CE with the Taylor Red Velvet Case where it’s lived most of it’s life, since I’m afraid to take it anywhere outside of my home to play it. It really IS that beautiful of a guitar. It’s a 2000 model and I bought it brand new. It also has brand new Ernie Ball Earthwood extra light strings, to the tune of $4.00. Where I want to be: I want a used Taylor Flattop, say a 110 or a 210. It doesn’t have to be “VERY prestine” like mine is, but I’d like it to look nice and play well. I also want a used Fender American Standard Stratocaster with Maple fretboard. Color don’t matter a great deal other than no white, green, blue, pink, purple…Black or brown sunburst is great, red is my favorite. Guitar Center has used guitars, but I’ve not heard anything about how it is to trade with them. They do have a used Fender for around $850 give or take $50. They also have used Taylor 110’s and 210’s for around $525. I was gonna try to sell my 514CE for around $1600, but I’d do a trade like this even though the total a GC would be about $1400. So, does anyone have an idea on how I could get there. I’m working a crazy shift right now and it’ll be a month before I can get to GC to see how that would work. Plus, it’s 2am, I’m taking a break and I hate night shift…LOL. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about this place, is people are willing to help with even crazy ideas like this. So…Anyone got any ideas or stores that will give good trades?

Really....I had no idea we had that many Democrates in tennessee!

LOL. Yep, I reckon so!

Yep. A great song from the Alabama boys.  It sure does apply now. I just came back from daughters house and was humming along in the right lane of a divided highway with all the other traffic about 5 miles over the speed limit. I saw an suv coming up and ride my bumper. I just continued on my way. I looked in my RV mirror just in time to see this young lady throw her hands up in disgust and shoot around to the left hand lane. She proceeded to pass the four cars in front of me within about 1/4 mile, then......cut across the right lane to take the very next exit. She had slowed to a normal speed on the exit ramp, had no flashers on or anything to show an emergency.  Crazy....then about 10 minutes later I'm in the right lane run of highway 153 onto Gadd road. The lights were green for both center lanes to turn.  I was patiently waiting for a steady stream of about 20 cars to make their turn onto Gadd. The car behind me was trying to go around me on the right but the curb had them blocked. I could see another young lady just fuming because I was in her way.  I finally had the opening and turned, as did the car behind me. They went 50 yards and turning left into a back way into a shopping strip mall.  I see other examples daily driving. but those were two today within 10 minutes.   "I'm in a hurry to get things done Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun All I really gotta do is live and die But I'm in a hurry and don't know why."

Apparently they only like you unarmed....no matter what!! http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/05/23/Three-Jack-In-The-Box-Robberies-Since-Law-Abiding-Citizens-Asked-To-Leave-Guns-At-Home

This is the original sign he posted. He obviously got lots of attention in the news and from the bad guys!

Yep....No surprise here.  They made the national news for banning guns.  Now they've been robbed at gunpoint by 3 armed criminals....that didn't read the signs....       http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/05/22/Restaurant-With-No-Weapons-No-Concealed-Firearms-Sign-Robbed-At-Gunpoint  

It's gonna get worse before it gets better I'm afraid.

This will now be plastered on every anti gun website. The two bufoons are now poster children for the other side. Way to go "richard heads"
