Got this email this morning and sounds about right: Subject: Fw: How to trap wild pigs Does this sound familiar to anyone? There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist regime. In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked: "Do you know how to catch wild pigs? The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said that it was no joke. "You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn. "When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. "They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. "The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity." The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America .. The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time. One should always remember two truths: There is no such thing as a free lunch, and you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself. If you see that all of this wonderful government "help" is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America, you might want to send this on to your friends. If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life, then you will probably delete this e-mail. But, God help us all when the gate slams shut!

It is amazing how being the victim of a crime and change an anti's mind. My girlfriend's good friend lives in a nice area in Atlantic Beach, FL. Both she and her husband are "mildly" anti-gun. They don't give me a hard time about carrying when I'm there, but they don't think people need to have guns. Well, last week, my GF gets a call from her friend asking if I can take her to the range next time we come down. She went outside that morning and found someone was in her vehicle and tossed the interior and stole some things. She was scared at the thought of coming outside with her 10 month old and finding the person in her vehicle. Now she'd like to go shooting. Go figure.

I've had my Patriot safe bolted to the garage floor for over 4 years now. I can't tell you if there's any damage to the bottom of the safe, but my items in the safe are just fine. No heat or AC in my garage. I have a golden rod in the safe and one of the humidifiers that you plug in to dry it out every few days to a week, depending on the humidity level. If you have a quality safe with good fireproofing, It should help with the humidity. If you buy a cheap metal gun cabinet with no lining, it will probably be more difficult to keep the moisture out.

I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Congrats. He's adorable.

Welcome.

These people are unbelievable. The corruptness and incompetence is staggering. http://www.jsonline.com/watchdog/watchdogreports/loss-of-agents-testimony-cited-in-atf-case-dismissals-b99104877z1-225111342.html "Top agency officials launched a probe into the actions of ATF agents in the sting, after the Journal Sentinel exposed numerous shortcomings of what was called "Operation Fearless." Among the Journal Sentinel findings: Agents hired a brain damaged man to promote the store and set up drug and gun deals, then arrested him on federal counts; three government owned guns, including a machine gun, were stolen; and the undercover storefront was ripped off of $40,000 in merchandise." "The machine gun remains missing, Milwaukee police said Tuesday." "Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Karen Loebel said in court Fridaythat she could not call U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Special Agent Jacqueline Sutton to testify — the latest setback for an operation riddled with problems exposed bya Journal Sentinel investigation. Loebel, who has dropped eight of the 18 cases she charged from the 2012 sting, said she was not allowed to disclose why Sutton could not take the stand because of "the manner in which I received the information."

Hopefully either here in the District Court, or eventually in the SCOTUS, we can get a positive ruling on firearms in common use. http://www.nraila.org/legislation/state-legislation/2013/9/maryland-multiple-citizen-groups-unite-to-prevent-senate-bill-281-from-being-implemented-with-nra%E2%80%99s-support.aspx Maryland: Multiple Citizen Groups Unite to Prevent Senate Bill 281 from Being Implemented with NRA’s Support Yesterday, with support from the National Rifle Association the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore, Maryland Licensed Firearms Dealers Association, Maryland Shall Issue, Maryland State Rifle and Pistol Association, National Shooting Sports Foundation and several firearms dealers along with individual Maryland citizens, filed suit to stop the implementation and enforcement of Maryland’s planned ban on certain common and popular semi-automatic long guns and restriction on the purchase or sale of magazines with a capacity in excess of ten rounds. The Maryland Firearm Safety Act of 2013, alternatively known as SB 281 (the “Act”), will ban the purchase, transportation or receipt of any of the listed semi-automatic firearms after October 1, 2013. Additionally, the Act will ban the purchase or sale in the state of Maryland of any detachable magazine for either rifles or pistols that holds in excess of ten rounds after October 1, 2013. This lawsuit, filed yesterday in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, requests immediate emergency injunctive relief in the form of a Temporary Restraining Order because the Act is an unconstitutional violation of the Second Amendment right of the law-abiding, responsible citizens of Maryland to choose effective firearms for defense in the home. While the NRA is not a named party to this lawsuit, we are supporting the citizens of Maryland in this, and all future, defenses of their Second Amendment rights in every way we can. Your NRA-ILA will continue to keep you updated when more information becomes available.

Nope, not at all.

Welcome.

That's ok, seems the US Senate has a hard time being honest about the 2nd Amendment: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/09/25/Senate-Website-Gets-Second-Amendment-Wrong

Welcome.

It worked for a couple of minutes. I was able to get one. Got the confirmation email.

I just ordered. Looked again and it shows in stock. Edit: You're right Joe, that was fast. I just tried to put one into the cart and it said out of stock.

Looks like free shipping ended at midnight last night. CLUBFIVE works for $5 shipping if you have the Cabelas credit card.

It's ridiculous. How many good men do we have to lose from these traitorous cowards before we disarm them in the presence of our troops? RIP Sgt. McGill.

+1 I missed last year do to GF having to go to emergency room. The year before, it started more like 10 or 11 if I remember correctly. Mikey, I you sure it starts at 1? 2 years ago I brought my Garand and AR and did as Mikey said. Loaded mags and helped people who wanted to shoot them. Was a good day. I expect to be there this year. Going to try and make the meeting with Al's brief as well. Hope to meet you guys there.

For anyone interested, Oct 12th is Wounded Warrior Day at CJ. They do it every year. There is a parade that goes through town and ends up at the range. They ask members to come and bring firearms to let the the vets shoot. I forget, but I think it's open to the general public if guys here wanted to go and donate your time and let some vets shoot your guns. The club supplies plenty of ammo for Garands and ARs, but do ask if people can donate ammo as well, that it is appreciated.

I just flew to Florida and back a couple of weeks ago with a firearm in my checked luggage. Both Newark and Jacksonville TSA opened my bag and left the piece of paper saying my bag was opened for inspection. Nothing, including my firearm and ammo was missing.

CVS money order is .99

Done. 625 no vs 38 yes.

Welcome

The background checks were outsourced to a private company. How about the FBI do the checks and be held responsible if they screw it up?

Because he doesn't care. He knows it isn't the truth, doesn't matter to them.
