  1. So a few issues right up front,

    -getting the vehicles out of there

    - the soil / land once the cars are removed

    -no fence around the property. Access directly from the road. So, now that 500,000 people know about this, good luck on keeping people off the property.

     

    I will have to look back and see how that one dealership auction made out, with those "new " cars from the 50's and 60's with like 10 miles on them sitting in the owners back yard.

  2. So I picked up a streamlight pro tac hl the other weekend, great light, and very bright(600lum). But it eats batteries like real fast LOL! I have been looking at re-chargable ones and ordered a set off amazon. I have a one use set in there now till the ones come in from amazon. It uses 2 cr123 batteries. 

     

     

     We kinda thought this would burn through batteries quickly. 

    Can you get through you get through one shift with the batteries?

     

    I was liking that smaller pencil style light at the show, not sure what make or model it was.

  3. The last person listed in post #9, died from "self inflicted wounds in the head and torso from a nail gun."

    Really? If I was thinking of offing myself, nail gun would not be on the top of the list.

    If I get a paper cut or hit my head on the kitchen cabinet while removing a plate, I am down for the count.

     

    Unless you just finished watching the movie " lethal weapon" since there was a scene were Mel GIbson got the bad guy with a nail gun.

  4. I was really wanting a PPS, but stumbled on the 9mm Shield.

    It was a "whichever one I found first" thing.

     

    I will probably still get a PPS, and then figure out what I will do with the Shield, if my shooting " 'lil small guns"  improves with the PPS. 

    Speedytriple might be happy if I sell him my Shield.

  5. Highlight from that article:

    "If there were such a thing, it would probably be rule No. 1 in the teaching manual for instructors of aspiring suicide bombers: Don’t give lessons with live explosives.

    In what represented a cautionary tale for terrorist teachers, and a cause of dark humor for ordinary Iraqis, a commander at a secluded terrorist training camp north of Baghdad unwittingly used a belt packed with explosives while conducting a demonstration early Monday for a group of militants, killing himself and 21 other members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, army and police officials said."

     

     

     

    So I could see the instructor saying " I am the only one in this room qualified to handle this Belt"

  6. This is a few days old, and got notice of the link from another firearm forum.

     

    Cliff noted summary is a Chicago school principal do not like the image of a gun on the "No Guns " sign, which has the red circle with the line through it.

    Quote from the article:

     

    “It is bothersome to have to post a sticker of a gun that says, ‘Hey, folks, leave your guns at home,’” Theresa Nolan, principal of Tinley Park High School, told the SouthtownStar.

    Nolan stressed that she is very concerned with “safety and security” and concerned that, somehow, someone could wrongly interpret an image of a gun emblazoned with the universal sign for prohibiting something.

    “I think the general public will be alarmed by it and wonder if people have been allowed to bring guns to school in the past,” Nolan also fretted.

    She said she would prefer “something more subtle.”

    “You can’t look at this (sticker) and not think about Sandy Hook,” the principal added.

    My Thoughts:

    How can you "wrongly interpret " a sign with any picture and a red line through it, ( think of a no parking sign)

    Somehow, when I see a stick of a firearm, i do not think of Sandyhook, may because I am not an educator.

     

     

     

  7. It looks like I would shred my thumb  when loading the magazine with these.

     

    I think it would appear better ( in media and the court) in the event you had to  protect yourself, if the bullet you used was called "Defense" insteadof  a bullet called " RIP"

     

    Just don't know enough about this new round yet.

    Also a Liberty Civil Defense carrier

  8. For those not interested in the bike show I might try to set up a block of time on a range simulator that Select fire has right up the road. We could go play gun games then head over to the after party. 

    Since I won't be going to the bike show, I would be in for this idea

  9. Fat Heads, Brew Kettle and Rivals Sports bar all have great beers and great food

     

    I am skeptical on Fat Heads accommodating a large group, I've never been to Rivals but have heard many great things.

     

    Brew Kettle would absolutely get my voted as I stated earlier. Really good food and they brew their own beers which are very good IMO. They also have a section that could probably accommodate a group the size we'd be looking at

     

    There is a solid chance me and the future mrs should be able to make it if something is set up

    Fatheads is a neat place, but the parking there blows chunks. The parking lot is not all that big and Fatheads is usually very busy.
