I would love to live that way too. I would need a chopper for ER visits though lol . I have had no fewer than 8 very necessary trips to the ER with the new baby and myself . I also almost checked out giving birth to our 2nd child ( abruption) . If you had asked me before 2008 , I would have said I would jump at the chance to be rural and off the grid. I still would ..but only with a decent hospital 45 minutes away , because myself and our middle boy definitely would have been "naturally selected " in that kind of setting . Fine for evolution maybe , but not my agenda lol

Informative review , thanks for sharing! I can't wait to do these classes ! Have to wait for college to break so my sitters are available..some kind of whining about needing to study for exams Did you take any hits this time? I remember you describing a stinger or two from your last course . Will you be at Cedar Grove for any training this weekend ? Pete will definitely be there , if i can get a sitter we'll both be there.

What calibers are your other Glocks? Don't MAKE me go look up your other guns before I vote

I've left this topic off my facebook page because while I am willing to discuss it , the possibilities etc in a relevant forum like this I am not willing to have it "out there" because it will just turn nasty and be about gun control. I have too many far left and far right friends and relatives. Thanksgiving is tough enough as it is.

He said that on the 911 tapes ? I must have missed an update. I think it is important for responsible gun owners and those who value their 2nd amendment rights to demand justice here . The way it looks this guy first and foremost killed an unarmed boy , but he has also done all of us a great disservice as well. The "one bad apple ruins it for the bunch " thing. The media can spin things into complete fiction . But with the facts with this case - boy unarmed , 911 tapes , this looks like there is no other angle besides vigilante behavior . People going rogue with their right to carry will cause a ripple effect . This is not the first case where Florida's Stand Down law has drawn negative attention to carrying a gun. I would need to find out that the boy was heard saying he was going to gut Zimmerman or something in order to change my opinion of this one. As a parent and as someone who values my 2nd Amendment rights I find this case awful on more than one front.

I have a change sticker on the back of mine too..not a problem so far.

It looks like the law says that if he provoked him he can't claim self defense , but he may be covered by the "unless" part where "Such force is so great that the person reasonably believes that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm and that he or she has exhausted every reasonable means to escape such danger " So they way I read it , and this is my interpretation , he provoked , yes...but then found himself in imminent danger of death. Now , if I am the prosecutor , I am having a field day with a 240 pound 28 year old man who was in danger of death because a 140 pound kid with skittles and a drink can was beating him up after being followed by him. At this point , they are both perceiving themselves in a self defense struggle. Gun beats skittles. No matter how you slice it , no matter how it "was" as opposed to how it looks..a guy that outweighed an unarmed kid by 100 pounds follows him against advice , struggles with him , shoots him. Instant poster case for the antis. It is a bad shoot . An unarmed armed boy was gunned down. I consider that a "bad shoot" regardless of the law. The only "good shoot" is where the bad guy gets it. It is at the very least a stupid stupid mistake on the part of the shooter , and it may be murder. UFC guys are generally multiple black belt holders and experienced competition fighters. Even if this kid was on the high school wrestling team you could not compare him to a professional fighter. Unless Zimmerman can somehow convince the people that he thought the tea can was a gun ..he is way WAY on the wrong.

I can see it too. If I like his page my liberal friends might get a little too excited.

IDK , if the year book is worth over a hundred bucks from 1915. You never know , I would check it out. We found a Spanish American War medal in my yard when my Grandfather dug a spit for pig roasting. It turned out it was the kind that you got if you were serving during the time of , not "served in" It was not precious metal or anything..but it still was worth about 120 bucks when we looked it up. I would definitely contact them . Good luck!

How cool ! So , is it worth anything for you? Cool find. Does she have a metal detector , or did she find it some other way ? Those people with metal detector often find valuables.

yeeeessss... lol Seriously . It works . I has an official PHO-tography education. www.cloudninephotography.me You can also do cool tilt shift stuff with the lens off the body and held at various angles ( make landscapes look like toy setups for those who don't know photography terms) See: http://gizmodo.com/5679403/101-photos-taken-with-the-lens-detached

It is very tough to go there and then leave . I am going there in a few weeks to photograph some of the hard to place dogs ( I'm a photographer) and then give a free family session with their pet if they adopt one of them. That is really nice of you to foster. It is a selfless thing to do. This Weimer won't last long there, an expensive purebreed like that , she'll get adopted. The pups always do. They have a lot of pointers and hounds there in the 2 year old and up age bracket. They have the sweetest Dobie there , but she does have issues . They don't even list her as adoptable because it would only work for someone who was home all the time and could care for a special needs dog , but she is up for adoption to the right family . She 'll live out her life there at the Park. They really have a nice set up for the Animal Haven there , for the dogs they know will not get adopted. It is nicer than all the cages that is for sure :/ Her name is Darby: http://www.ahscares....id=236&catid=11

Is that the 18-55 kit lens? You know if you turn it backwards and steady it on the front of your camera... POOF! macro! If you use a table top tripod it is real easy to hold the lens on there steady. It actually does a really nice job.

Someone dropped off a perfectly healthy and beautiful 4 month old female weimaraner , in case anyone was looking for a pointer to train I know them over there at the shelter ( it's in Forker River) . PM me if you want to go see her. She won't last long !

No worries! Good thing I pick up a new gun in 11 days My 1911 .45 needs to go to the gunsmith too. It ejects , with force , directly into my forehead and eye protection whenever I shoot it properly ..i.e when I do not ride the recoil. I wind up with a bunch of lead semicircles on my forehead and I find myself flinching..not because of recoil anticipation but because of full on frontal shell casing assault .

Calling today , thanks

Thanks Bob , I was just sending you an email So , you think I should send it in , or do you think it could be because I'm struggling to pull the trigger in DA once I get tired? I was thinking of having Pete send a bunch down the range Tuesday night with it , see if it happens to him as well. Opinion?

My sister has a Masters in Classics, identifying symbols and artifacts are part of her skill set. I also have a friend who works as an archaeologist for the Army Corps of Engineers ..her job is to identify any finds on sites before the Army breaks any ground anywhere . I'll send them both the image and see what they say , if you like. Send me a larger picture if you want me to have them take a look . My email is in my profile.

lol one of my guns one of these days will be a Ruger revolver I am reluctant to take anything apart on this gun since it is kind of brand new , would it void the warranty ? I was wondering if it could be the way I am pulling as Patriot Oak suggested. It only happens after I have done maybe 15 or 20 rounds in DA and am maybe not pulling as smoothly. Could that be causing it ? Only my index finger pad is on the trigger. I have a short trigger finger . Couldn't wrap it to the 2nd knuckle if I tried But , I may be pulling it way slower as I get tired with DA pulling? After it happened yesterday I stopped shooting in DA and proceeded to shoot 50 rounds of .38 and 20 rounds of .357 magnums through it without a hitch in SA . I'm shooting American Eagle ammo . On a side note , I should probably not say to anyone else that it is comfortable for a woman to shoot magnums out of it. I have a friend who is not too happy with me right now lol I don't know , I did not think it was THAT bad ..just a little more boom than the .38s ((shrugs))

nice! Glad you enjoyed it. Great looking gun !

This has happened at least once each time I used my S&W Model 60 Pro series in DA . Basically , it seems the hammer does not hit as hard , bullet does not go boom . When it is about to happen , I know it because something feels different as I pull..best way to describe it is the hammer releases and goes forward sooner than it would if it was going to be a successful pull. Never happens in single action , obviously. It is a new gun , been used about 4 times , no trigger mods or anything. Ideas? And , like , how dangerous is that? Should I just cock the hammer and try and shoot it again? After this happens I point the gun downrange for 30 seconds full to be safe , then when I open the chamber to check it out , it is just sitting there . Ideas ? Suggestions? Thanks:)

Wow , that is small! That's great. Thanks for reposting more pics I would def consider one for CC.

Nice! That looks small. Great for CCW I imagine. You should put something in the pic for reference. Like a playing card or something , in the interest of being specific

Thanks for the info all. After I check out the estate , if anything is good enough to share I'll post

Have another drink , in the name of being interesting
