The family has gathered to celebrate wheelchair-bound Granny’s 90th birthday. Alice sees the old lady slumped forward and rushes over to set her upright. A little while later Jack sees Granny leaning precariously to the left, so he gallantly sits her up again.
Harold, Granny’s favourite grandson arrives late and goes straight over to the old woman, takes her in his arms, lifting her slightly as he does so and kissing her on the mouth. “I love you, Granny.” He says softly.
Granny sighs deeply and says: “I’m so glad you’re here, Harry darling! The other bas***ds wouldn’t let me fart!”
Was that the same Granny that started laughing hysterically for no apparent reason, and when asked why, embarrassed her whole family when she answered, "I just realized that everybody here is alive because I got laid!"

LAX Ammo makes some decent ammo. I am trying to remember their ammo brand name. They sell ammo under LAX, but they also sell ammo under a name that begins with “F”. I will probably think of it after I hit “Submit Reply. The same company that owns LAX also owns X-Treme bullets. For jacketed and plated bullets I like them much better than Berry’s. As for FMJ their bullets are also good.
Edit: Freedom Munitions
Thanks Pat. I asked them what type of ID number they needed, and got a response this morning that a DD214 is acceptable.

So what's the call on the first video clip that was posted.....BS or real?
58 minutes ago, Pat Riot said:I think it’s bogus, but then I cannot figure out how they got a bullet to spin like that on ice. It’s weird.
If it looks like the Mythbusters clip, it's real. Watch the Mythbusters clip, they did it and were able to repeat it once they got the trajectory right.

Water too. I remember when they made me the duty gunner for the motor whaleboats. My job was to use an M14 to keep sharks away from anyone in the water. I asked where I should aim to kill the sharks and the gunnery chief said “You don’t aim at the sharks. You shoot at the water to get the shark to chase your bullets and not the man in the water. Besides, 7.62 loses all its power within the first 4 or 5 feet of water so you’d probably just pi** the shark off by shooting at it.”
Luckily I never had to deal with sharks when men were in the water.
Another Mythbusters test. They tested shooting various guns into a swimming pool. They found that if you were 3 feet underwater, a handgun bullet won't have the energy to do any damage. All the rifle rounds, up to a .50BMG broke up as soon as they hit the water. They could only find small fragments of them.

As some of you have said, I generally don't except for Lowes, and a couple other "big" places, (Jerry Bob's restaurant has a veterans discount, free drink, and they're a big chain). But I received an offer from LAX Ammo in my email this morning. 5% off on their ammo. For life. Their ammo is fairly inexpensive anyway, but I might just take them up on this. Unfortunately, they don't have lead ammo, so no Cowboy ammo. But for general paper punching, I just might try it.
Anybody have any experience with them?

Another article on this.
From the article: To be sure, U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, (R-NC), who has continued to reintroduce his concealed carry reciprocity bill that originally died back in 2018, has won reelection and is seeking a second term as National Republican Congressional Committee Chair. Should the GOP win the House-- as of Monday morning, they had secured 214 of 218 needed seats and are leading in at least eight undecided races-- it is likely Hudson's reciprocity could once again pass that body in 2025.

Well while I love the idea, I don't think a president can enact an executive order to allow National Concealed Carry. I'm not a lawyer but it doesn't seem like it's liable.
Even though the article is scant on details, it does say he would like an "Act", which sounds to me like having it go through Congress to make it Law.

Here's some good news that could affect us all.
"Over the weekend President-elect Donald Trump announced a push for national concealed carry reciprocity, a move which would make the concealed permit of any one state valid in the other 49."

Last I heard, the Supreme Court had overturned the "Pistol Brace" ban. I don't know exactly what that means, but it sounds like a Good Thing.

My wife and I just finished watching that series. I think using the 7th grade girls they used as story consultants on the last 2 seasons was a ridiculous move
I have to agree with that assessment. We really like Nathan Fillion, but it kind of seemed like they had just run out of ideas the last couple seasons and were phoning it in.
Oh, and Blackwater, just so you know, you're a new hero of mine.

seems to me to say a lot of our lives , we live we die , hopefully we leave a small mark thats worth remembering by someone

While I know that I'll never be famous or even well known, I like to think that my "legacy" will be that my daughter, and maybe other people I've known along the way, will do Good Things, however big or small, because of my influence.
That will be good enough for me.

Lamp "colors" are really temperature color ratings. If you're looking for a sunshine type color, the 2,700K rendition is a good starting point. Office type lighting is generally in the 4,000K rating, Lamps in the 5,000K and 6,000K range are generally used for bright light applications and can be blinding.
The main reason for premature LED lamp failure is voltage surges and fluctuations. LED lamps use a kind of transformer (for lack or a better description) called a driver. The drivers don't like voltage that is out of their specifications. The LED lamps themselves do not like liquid intrusion either.
The color temp scale, referred to as Temperature in Kelvin, is an excellent way to judge what your lights will look like. The "Soft White" bulbs are close to 5000K, the "Daylight" bulbs are about 6000K.
You know those automotive LEDs with that d**m blue tint? Those are 6000 to 6500K. I can't STAND them, and I can't see with them. (Yellow Fog Lights are about 3500K).

The sad, miserable people that tend get offended by such things are never the people that have any real concern for whatever they're "offended" about. They are "offended" by these things FOR the people that they think SHOULD be offended by them, but aren't. I believe that they think that the people that should be offended just aren't smart enough to understand the "problem".
It's like all the ball teams that "had" to change their names from American Indian names to something else just in case some Indians were to get offended by it, not understanding that the Indians were NOT offended, but usually took pride that their people were being recognized.
The descendendants of the woman that played Aunt Jemima were disgusted that she was removed from the brand because they were proud of the fact that their ancestor had been so much a part of both their and the brand's history.
Hank Williams said it best, I think, when he sang, "If you mind your own business, you'll be busy all the time."

I'm not worried. It's too late for them to vote in South Carolina. Now if they were here in Arizona...

Finding incandescent bulbs is such a pain that I've just quit bothering. Long gone are the days of 4 for a Dollar bulbs. So I go ahead and buy the LEDs at Walmart. You can get 4, 60 Watt equivalent bulbs for about $6. But get the SOFT WHITE bulbs, NOT the daylight. The soft white bulbs look about the same as incandescent bulbs, and being LEDs use less power and last longer.

Take a look at some of the channels on youtube. There are several that show dashcam videos, and they have links to different recommended systems on them.

Unfortunately the "bread" however you use the term, is either quite expensive as food, or devalued as currency.
More likely for the purpose intended it's beer for tailgate parties.

I was going to mention that, but I've given the Moderators enough to do lately.
