    DSC05200.JPG Not guns...but knives and that's close. I am selling all my shop tools and someone who is a Randall knife collector wants to be a goldsmith. Heres what I ended up with. All the knives have the Randall sheaths.

    Not guns but knives. A Randall collector wanted to get some of my old tools to become a goldsmith and this is what I ended up with. I guess I am now a Randall collector :) :) DSC05200.JPG

    @Redbeard nice shooting! I’m on the road but after watching you shoot I thought it would be nice to take my gun and practice, instead of sitting in my hotel. But the only range is 30 min away and it’s a police station. I’m in San Francisco. So I started watching YouTube I stumbled on this. Thought it was funny. Thanks for being a bad influence:D

    I've seen that video before. It's 100% correct. Lol.

    Yeah I was stuck in The People's Republik of Commiefornia for the month of Feb. It sucked. Happy to be back in Texas.

This is my grandson Eli and his stepdad. Eli got this one a little after sunrise this morning. He just turned 12 and has loved hunting and shooting since he was 5 years old.

    Knock-down power is not a myth and your physics do not account for close range knee and headshots with a shotgun or any gun. You need a working head and legs to stand.

    Example: JFK with video proof. P.s. it was not Oswald, it was more then one highly trained sniper.

    Went shooting a few days ago. I am going to try to go more often. Good just isn't expectable for me anymore. I talked to my neighbor yesterday. Last week one of extended family members was shot and killed last week. It was late and he was part of the neighborhood watch program. He went by a car that had a brother and sister in it, the brother didn't like the way he looked at him. they followed him and when he went down a cove the girl blocked him and the guy opened fire. The truck was hit several times, so was he. He got out of the truck and was running for a house the guy chased him down and shot him a few more times. When the police got there they found a piece of paper still in his hand with the licenses plate number and description of the car. One of the houses had cameras on it, they captured the whole event. The people have been arrested.
    A few months ago I trained one of our captains that got shot at going down the interstate during the day. He got hit in the arm. turns out the shooter was a 17 yearly kid. When the investigators found out who had done it, it was easy to get him. He was in jail already for putting a gun to the back of a kids head and killing him.
    I truly wish we had public hangings!
    Sorry for the rant but this is ops normal in Memphis. Most of the time I let it roll off my back but some days it just pisses me off.

    For those who have let their CC Permit expire, were you able to just pay the regular renew fee or was there some kind of penalty. My friends and I were under the impression that if it expired you might have to completely re -up with class etc....
