At first, I thought the Dems didn't want law abiding citizens CCWing because too many of their constituents would end up pushing daises as a result of good people defending themselves. But really, what does it matter to the dem party. their constituents will still vote whether they are dead or alive.

Jack wagons with $5,000.00 shotguns and $2,000.00 hunting dogs who hunt private canned reserves telling me what 2A is all about.

A woman walks into a Tennessee Welfare office, trailed by 15 kids. 'Wow,' the social worker exclaims, ‘Are they all yours?' 'Yep, they are all mine,' the flustered mother sighs, having heard that question a thousand times before. She says, ‘Sit down Billy.' All the children rush to find seats. 'Well,' says the social worker, ‘Then you must be here to sign up. I'll need all your children's names.’ ''Well, to keep it simple, the boys are all named Billy and the girls are all named Billie.” In disbelief, the case worker says, ‘Are you serious? They're all named Billy? 'Their momma replied, ‘Well, yes, it makes it easier. When it's time to get them out of bed and ready for school, I yell, Billy!' an' when it's time for dinner, I just yell Billy!' and they all come running. 'And if I need to stop the kid who's running into the street, I just yell 'Billy' and all of them stop. It's the smartest idea I ever had, naming them all Billy.’ The case worker thinks this over for a bit, then wrinkles her forehead and says tentatively, ‘But what if you just want one kid to come, and not the whole bunch?’ 'Then I call them by their last names.

A tax deductible campaign to improve corporate image. The Mafia used to give huge sums to the catholic church. It's like Gus Fring donating to the police and giving them free chicken. Like I said, first responders deserve mad respect, but Verizon is exploiting them for the sake of corporate image.

Good message, very emotional, pulls at the heart strings and has not one fucking iota to do with Verizon's services. I'm happy that first responders are getting some recognition, they truly deserve it, but verizon is exploiting first responders and viewers. Oh, <sniffle> that Verizon commercial made me feel things so I'm going to run out tomorrow and ditch my cellular plan and sign up with Verizon because they are really nice and love first responders and they made me feel something. That's utter bull shit. Verizon made that commercial to make money. They don't give a shit about first responders in the marketing department.

Not even watching, but, yes.

I think the commercials are designed by people with PHDs in psychology, have little or nothing to do with the product, and are designed to manipulate the viewer into creating an emotional association with the product.

Here's a good article that explains the different blade steels. https://gearjunkie.com/common-knife-blade-steels

If you don't mind sharpening the blade often, and are good at it, I recommend HD Coast brand. They are not assisted open, but can easily be opened with one hand. I have a razor sharp $20 Coast knife, but I have to sharpen it about once a week. I've lost too many "good" knives while doing landscaping to justify buying a really good knife like a Benchmade. If you can afford to loose a $150 knife, then, by all means, buy a really good knife. btw, there should be a Murphy's law about pocket knives. The more expensive the knife, the more likely you are to loose it.

Good to know. I always thought USPS MOs were just gone in the event of a scam or fraud.

He probably learned it in school. You better nip this in the bud before he starts demanding socialized healthcare and turns anti 2A.

A springer air rifle is not the same as a Red Ryder BB gun or pump air rifle. Springers have both rear and forward recoil. Additionally, the recoil is not the same as compared to a center fire rifle. With a center fire rifle, the recoil results from gasses escaping the muzzle, but on a springer, the recoil is mechanical and much sharper. The recoil from a springer is more like tapping the scope at both ends with a hammer. There is also a torque component. Because the piston is under the scope, it jolts the scope up and down. Sure, a springer does not pound your shoulder with 25# of recoil, but the dynamics of recoil from a springer are more complicated. BSA makes cheap springer rated scopes. Hawke makes better scopes but they ain't cheap.

A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in Montana when suddenly a brand-new 2018 BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust. The driver, a young man named Cliff in a Brioni® suit, Gucci® shoes, RayBan® sunglasses and YSL® tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?" Bud looks at the man, who obviously is a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?" The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell® notebook computer, connects it to his Apple iPhone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop® and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany .. Within seconds, he receives an email on his Apple iPad® that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL® database through an ODBC connected Excel® spreadsheet with email on his Galaxy S5® and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet® printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves." "That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Bud. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car. Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?" The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?" "You're a Congressman for the U.S. Government", says Bud. "Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, “but how did you guess that?" "No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know JACK about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep.” “Now give me back my dog.”

You will not be disappointed with a CZ or a Ruger American Predator. It's just a matter of how much you want to spend to not be disappointed. If you love the sexy CZ, buy it. If you just want a tool, buy the RAR Predator. I loved my RAR for two reasons. 1) the trigger, 2) cold bore. It wasn't a sexy rifle, but it always put the first shot where I wanted it.

It's not exactly local, but Monmouth Stereo in Shrewsbury has an excellent reputation. I have not used them in a long while but they remain highly rated . They are not cheap, but they have always done 5 star work for me.

Don't have one, but shot one a few times. I'm not really into handguns, but, if I was, that would be the one for me. Feels good in the hand, nice balance and the trigger was par excellence, mild recoil. The reason I don't buy handguns is I'm a terrible shot, but this one just seems to work for me. Dunno exactly why, but it does.

January is a motherfucker. Always has been. Big surprise.

That's what I'm thinking. I still want them.

Check on the lady's gun accessories sites.

I want that, NOW! Where did you find those sights?

It would be easier to build a time machine and go back to the 80's to grab one.

Holy cow, those guys are still in business? That was one of my favorite places to go when I was an electronics nerd. It used to be Radio Shack on steroids. There was a really great Army/Navy store almost across the highway from them too.

@Ray Ray brother, you know I love ya but I'm afraid your taste is all in your mouth. This is what Shockwave perfection looks like. True, it's not as utilitarian as one decked out with lasers and lights and marine coating. But. aesthetically, this is what perfection looks like.
