  1. If someone believes in the present situation overseas is a 'Wag The Dog' issue, they would probably

    believe that U.S. forces have captured all those Iranian ballistic missile sites and are purposely shooting

    those missiles into other countries just to gain support for the U.S.     Just another 'conspiracy theory'

    that some folks love to cling to in order to make OUR leadership look like the bad guy.

  2. I'd get myself two new friends that offer big Magnum pistols!..... :)

     

    EDIT:  High Standard offered their 'Flite King' riot shotgun back in the 60's and 70's.

    It was a RELIABLE and EFFICIENT pump shotgun with an 18" barrel.

    That would be my remedy for possible threats.

    I had a "Secret" clearance when I got out.B)

     

    In some ships and locations, a Secret clearance wouldn't even let you thru the door of the radio shack.

     

    Anything less than a TS, Crypto or CYOP rating will get a Marine to draw down on ya entering some areas.

     

    And those Marines don't know if you're a 'rabbit' or not.

  4. I've shared this with a few friends over the years in that I didn't raise my daughter, nor do I know anyone

    around me, to become sacrificial fodder for some idiots distorted religious beliefs or political agenda.

     

    And my whole adult fatherhood has been built on a foundation that I have always taken 'reasonable'

    steps to ensure my family is safe, even at church.

     

    I will be judged accordingly.

  5. Believe it or not, TW and I talk about Bible stuff all the time.  Great discussions on many topics.

     

    Anyhow, my understanding is that Jesus would do his Fathers will........ all the time.

     

    Could I forgive MYSELF for allowing thugs to abuse a child or kill someone if I can prevent it......... NO

    But could Jesus forgive me for bashing the skull of a pedafile or killing someone to protect an innocent soul........ YES.

     

    VERDICT:  The perp will lose and Jesus will forgive me if my actions are wrong.    No doubts and no hesitations.

  6. In the county in which I live and go to church, it is 'remored' that most of the Southern Baptist churches have armed members

    on a Safety Team.   I know our church does.....about 10 men and a couple women.

     

    We also have specific plans to ensure our children are kept safe.....at all cost.... should protesters try to invade our children's

    department to cause chaos.   Many of us are Vets or present active military members at our local Air Base, including our

    Pastor who is a Capt.   And...he is also armed.

  7. Ole TW has a pet monkey.   yes.....and his name is Roscoe.

     

    Anyhow, last week on Valentines Day, TW is walking Roscoe around Nashville

    and walked into a Bar.

    The bartender says...... "Sorri, we don't serve Apes in here"

    TW says....."Roscoe ain't an Ape, he's a monkey".

     

    The bartender says....."I was talking to the monkey".

     

    Another true story.   

     

    P.S. - Roscoe got a cold beer.   TW got a banana.

  8. He was so believable, especially as GUS, that I still get a somber feeling every time he dies in Lonesome Dove.

    It was probably the most real death scene I've ever seen or even witnessed in real life.

    RIP Gus!

  9. Agree with Lumpy.

     

    In talking with my favorite welder and know it all ... :)... he said your method of welding will probably not make a difference

    between forged or cast STEEL.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Generally, NO.

     

    THIS ^^^^.

     

    BUT, unless you enlarge the primer FLASH HOLE, you'll probably experience primer backout.  It that happens,

    you'll get some drag on the cylinder rotation.

     

    For primer only blanks in my .45's, I use brass that is set up for shotgun shell primers that drop right in.

    The flash hole is already enlarged.

    I also use WAX bullets with this setup.  The wax bullet can put a hurting on fleshly objects.   Please don't 

    use to scare a dog or cat.

  11. Although I love the big bores, I don't think the 45-70 in a pistol is on my list of 'Things to do that can hurt me'.

     

    I got the 460 and 500 Smith's and I have to wear a wrist band and glove to shoot them.....but I do enjoy blasting

    away with them.   Anything bigger would be a no-no for me.

  12. When cousin Homer told me you had gone to the bank to borrow some $$$ to buy some gas and vittles and got

    involved in the middle of a robbery, I just took for granted that it was at the bank.    I didn't realize the robbery

    was at the gas-food-cold beer outlet.   They do make good sammiches.

     

    Did you get the sardine & mustard sammich or the sardine & olive oil sammich?

    They both go gooooood with a cold Pepsi.

  13. Ole TW was visiting one of his favorite hangouts this morning.....1st Nat'l Bank of Murfreesboro.

     

    A armed robber came in and ordered everyone..."Face down on the floor".

     

    Then the robber walked over to a patron on the floor and ask..."Did you see my face"?

     

    Patron replied.....YES.     BANG,  shot the patron in the leg and threatened to kill him if he told police.

     

    Again, the robber walked over to a patron on the floor and ask....."Did you see my face"?

     

    Patron replied....YES.      BANG, shot the patron in the leg and threaten to kill him if he told police.

     

    Then the robber walked over to where TW was laying face down on the floor and ask...."Did you see my face"?

     

    TW replied....... "NO,  but I'm pretty sure my wife did"..

     

    The man (TW) is a living history book.    Another true story!

  14. Just to share a little more helpful info, the Male's are meaner than the Females.

     The Females will rattle their tail and have a large forked tongue.

     

    The males just ...'hissssss'.   :)

    I saw one the other day in my back yard, I poured boiling water on it and he disappeared! 🙄

     

    Yea, that's the way to get rid of them

     

    I 'had' a friend, Bless his heart, that found a nest of them in his back yard.   So he drank up a few swigs of Uncle Johns 'splo' (moonshine

    to you foreigners) and decided to 'P' on them and light a match.     Indeed, it killed out the nest, but it sorta hastened the demise of my

    good friend.

     

    True story.

  16.  

    this is a skit she performed with Martin Short as 'Ed Grimley'.

     

    Watch as she tries to mimic his facial expressions.   I think its hilarious.

     

    I always liked her and thought she was a beautiful lady.

  17. Beware of Snow Snakes.

     

    TN Williams got bit by one yesterday afternoon and nearly froze his butt off!     :)

     

    This one will qualify as an ALPOISM:

    If you dilute your mouthwash with equal amounts of water (50/50 ratio), does that mean that it will only kill 49.995% of those germs

    that cause bad breath?

     

    AND....did you know when you gargle with that mouthwash full strength before you go to bed and kill off 99.99% of those germs that

    cause bad breath, that bad taste in your mouth the next morning is the corpse of those dead germs that have rotted in your mouth all

    night.

     

    Here in E.Tennessee, we are snowed in this morning and I ain't got nothin to do expect watch T.V. and think about stuff!
