Mamma's gonna get him a prostitute. Could be expensive. Especially when you consider the cost of screwing a chicken. Which in comparison, is, well, chicken feed...

Ah, see your point there, I guess. We didn't have weapons with stripper clips. For what its worth - I was certified on .45, shotgun, M-14, M-60 and 50 cal. And if you haven't figured my "era" yet, I also qual'd with a bloop gun, M79 grenade launcher if someone needs to google it. I won't even bother with the shit I did as a kid on the small bore team, that was too long ago to bother with. Sorry if this all hi-jacked your thread. You boys have fun now, I'm out.

All righty then, guess you told me... I wasn't aware that I was arguing gun safety. Merely adding some input to a situation that I've recently considered in my own home. Never thought I'd end up arguing my choice of words over something so trivial... I'll proof my posts better next time.

Wow... really?

Taking a child out of this world "accidentally" because of your own stupidity... Hopefully any surviving children from this sperm donor don't inherit his intelligence...

The issue is, if they're in the chamber the explosive force is the same as pulling the trigger. Not nearly the same as unconfined explosion out of the chamber.

Crap. When I first glanced I thought it was a 1000 round bulk ammo deal for $89.00... Better go grab another cup of coffee.

I definitely keep a select item with a chambered round in the safe, but it's not a long gun. If I have to get into the safe in a hurry or under duress, a long gun just isn't maneuverable enough to do much good. If you want to keep a loaded clip in the AR, you can retrieve it and chamber a round on the way to the location of trouble. That would eliminate your concern of a round cooking off in the rifle and causing collateral damage. Actions are not cocked in any weapon that I keep in storage, with the above hand cannon the exception. I don't think that there is any danger to springs loosing tension over time with most weapons, it's just my mind set. Just like I don't keep loaded clips in storage - bad for them. And if I do, I don't max load the clip. One other general thought about weapons in safes, especially long guns... When I put mine in the safe, they are there for storage. They are lubed for storage. Keeping a round in the chamber of a rifle that has been lubed for storage serves no purpose and could create issues. When I'm ready to go shoot, the weapon comes out and is prepped for firing - surplus lubrication is removed and pre-fire conducted. This is my peace-time protocol. IF things were to escalate, weapon prep would change significantly.

Wow... This is some brutal shit! Now I know what happens on here when there's no riding going on!

Nice video! Great to see closer shots of the bikes in front, but I realize that with the wide angle lense you have to be pretty close... And there's a reasonable amount of trust when you ride that close in the twisties! Hope to get the chance to ride with you next year.

^^^ LOL.

Hell with black friday shopping... If it's too cold to ride, I'll be up a tree with the bow.

Although I really dread the thought of shopping on black friday, I may have to swing by the Pony for this!
