Welcome to the game. You've got some good equipment. You are on your way.

Wow. This is an example of why I don't like large crowds and big events on holidays. They become targets for nut cases and terrorists. I hope all of our UGA football players were safely under guard in their motel rooms. My prayers for the victims and the New Orleans Police officers, who will bear a lot of overtime on this one.

I wonder how much one of those loading machines woujd cost? Say in 38 special?

A Sheriff making a statement like that stops the media feeding frenzy in it's tracks. Those Florida sheriff's have it down to a fine art.

Is this the Alabama State match or the Southeastern Regional we are talking about here?

Camping on the range is a big factor when I'm choosing which matches to attend. 36 gallons of fresh water will be fine if you take Navy showers. Wife and I have gone 5 nights on 40 gallons but that's pushing it. Don't dump the gray tank on the range. You won't make any friends that way. Using the black tank is fine. Just dump and flush it when you leave the range. Most campgrounds will let you dump your tanks for $5-$10. Quiet time is usually between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. on ranges and is pretty standard at campground too. Smaller campers usually don't come equipped with inverters. You can install one to run off the batteries with a small learning curve. A small $50.00 inverter will run a CPAP machine or the TV set. I will not run the AC unit. Generators come in all shapes and sizes. The inverter generators are considerably quieter than the open frame construction generators. Quiet comes with a cost. The 2000 watt Honda generators are very good machines but they run about $1,000 and still won't run the standard AC unit. You can buy two of them and link them together to make it work. I went with a Champion 3500 watt generator with remote start. Runs the AC and i can crank it up from inside the camper for that 1st cup of coffee in the morning and I can cut it off without going outside at bedtime. The only drawback is that it weighs about 100 lbs. They run about $1,000.

It's about time you gave up your squaw gripping ways.

That's a pretty good price for a Stoeger. I'm glad to see a decent affordable shotgun available to shooters.

I certainly don't have any problem with the steampunk category. It's just a costume category. If it keeps the game fun for them, well, mission accomplished. I'm thinking that the Gunfighter prohibition is an attempt by Rolan to keep us undesirables out of his category.

I counted 47 California felonies in my gun safe. I guess I'd better not move to NY either.

I was in Bass Pro Shop, Duluth, Ga. this evening and they had pallets of Winchester AA for $89 a case. All you wanted. I bought a case of Winchester target loads for $65 a case for Wild Bunch shooting. Don't need those fancy AA shells for the pump.

After the stuff I saw our Intel people do with Facebook pages, I decided that there was no way I was ever going to put my life on the internet FOREVER.

Don't worry. I won't lose any sleep over it. But in case any of you feel the need, the following is from the Go Fund me page for the "deceased armed robber". Donovan was called home on December 26, 2016. This is a very tragic and unexpected blow for the family. He was very loved by the community and family. We are asking for friends , family and anyone who had love for Donovan. To help out any way they can. Everything is greatly appreciated. Help spread the word!

Thank God for Good Samaritans.

Just compare the news babes from Fox news to the trolls on CNN or MSNBC.

Pretty much any sound bar will be a vast improvement over the tv speakers. The flat screen tv's do no have enough room in them for the thicker speakers that bass requires. We bought a sound bar for about $79 and it made a lot of difference. You can spend as much as you want on one.

They are also stealing manhole covers. Often with the utility or city name on them. The scrap metal dealers don't seem to care. We had problems several years ago with people going into foreclosed houses and stripping the wiring and copper plumbing out. They would destroy the house in the process to get several hundred dollars worth of scrap metal. They were cutting catalytic converters off of certain types of SUV's for their titanium content and pulling the wiring out of light poles on the interstate. There is no end to the ways someone will go to make a crooked dollar.

I'm innocent I say. I ain't done noth'n. I want my lawyer and I want to see the video.

I'm glad to see that Craftsman tools is establishing a market outside of Sears and Kmart. Those two boats are sinking fast. Craftsman makes some fine hand tools. I hope they survive. As far as Sears and Kmart, well, I'll never miss them.

I think Birdgun nailed a big part of the problem. I can't imagine trying to police in that environment.

I retired at 55 years and 3 days. From the looks of things, I got out just in time. Now I spend my time camping, cowboy shooting and taking naps. Pensacola this Winter, Yellowstone next Summer and Key West next Winter. I've got to go qualify Thursday so I can keep my nationwide carry rights. Busy, busy, busy.

Time to reopen Camp Douglas.

762 is just the number they found. The "missing person" cases are not calculated into that number. No body, no murder.

This has created quite a dilemma for me. Is it possible to root against both Clemson and Alabama in the same game?

We do this to ourselves.
