The Hell with basketball & that "March Madness" nonsense- it's April & that means HOCKEY!

March madness is behind us (I'm sure someone won some kind of championship recently but I haven't watched basketball since Jordan, Rodman, and Pippen were playing for the Bulls in the early 90's).

I want to talk Hockey here- specifically AHL Hockey. NHL is fair game but in hockey terms- the regular season is over and regardless what league you follow the team's are chasing after their respective cups for the season.

Here's where we're at for the AHL bracket...

1745466002214.png


While I'm more equipped to talk AHL here- since we're talking Hockey I'll throw in the NHL bracket (I'm doubtful "my" team has the juice to bring home the cup here) but regardless...

1745466129500.png


This has been a particularly notable year for me personally and my enjoyment of hockey. As mentioned- I've primarily been focused on AHL games as this was the first year I committed to purchasing passes for the local team. The game of hockey has changed (or at least it seems like it has to me over the years) but I was able to witness some 'interesting' moments during the 18+ games I went to. One of which was seeing the opposing team's goalie clock a player from the home team. "Loyalties" aside- I don't know if I ever saw a goalie initiate a fight before this year. I also saw a fight break out... twice that seemed to include the entirety of both teams. It took something like 20-30 minutes for the refs to work out the penalties afterwards and added something close to an extra hour to the game while they sorted out the penalties for both teams.

I started a thread here after the experience of one particular game, titled something like "you matter". I stand behind the sentiment of why I started that post but the gist was our seats this year were next to two brothers... one of which was part of the Army National Guard and the other had some special needs. As the season progressed, I came to talk to these two and found out that there was something about the game that 'settled/calmed' the one brother and the other (for years at that point) was his 'hockey buddy' to take him to these games. A really impressive young man in my opinion and in his "just doing what needed to be done for his family".

Those are just the top highlights in my head tonight- not to get unnecessarily reminiscent either, just want to talk hockey here.

So what say you Hide, any hockey fans out there watching either the AHL or NHL teams chasing after this season's cups?

New reloader - list of components

Hello all! I am looking to set up a reloading room. I have read doc76251's fantastic guide in its entirety twice, as well as researching other specific items and looking at other guides. I have worked up a list of items that I plan on purchasing based on overall reputation, reviews, and availability. I am seeking feedback to see if I am missing anything or making any mistakes. I plan to reload 6.5 Creedmoor using Hornady ELD-M and, occasionally, ELD-X for hunting.

I have built up the following list, from Midsouth Shooters Supply, MidwayUSA, Brownells, and Little Crow Gun Gunworks; I am open to other vendors, but had not yet found a compelling reason to diversify (although that may change when purchasing consumables, e.g. bullets, powder, primers).

Thank you for your advice!

Planting evidence during the trail?


This Karen Reed shit show keeps taking the strangest turns - the money quote from the linked article below .

Read's Lexus was parked in front of the home on Friday, but in a different location than where it was when the first jury visited last year. Instead of being near the end of the driveway, it was placed near the flagpole where O'Keefe's body was found.


The prosecution took the jury to the scene of the crime - and parked Reeds SUV exactly on top of where the body was found.

BUT last year pulling the same stunt the SUV was parked in a different location. After of course her tail lights “accidentally”got broken while in evidence. “Accidentally”

What kinda mind manipulation shit stunt is that .

It’s like there yelling “see her vehicle is still parked on the exact same spot we found the dead guy - with no one presenting any evidence she’d ever parked there . Sure seems like a desperate attempt on the states part now that their star witness has admitted that he lied during grand jury testimony and during the original trial.

Massachusetts Dem Senator Ed Markey Pushes Bill That Could Prevent Churches From Using Armed Security




Ed-Markey-2022.jpg



Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) is pushing legislation that could prevent churches from protecting themselves with armed security. In the House, this was pushed by Democrat Hank Johnson, who famously suggested that Guam could tip over if too many people were there.

It doesn’t matter how bad crime gets, Democrats continue to push for Americans to be disarmed.

Just last week, there was a shooting at Lakewood Church in Texas.

So now, at a time when more churches are probably considering armed security, Democrats are pushing this. Unreal.

Breitbart News reports:


Senate Democrats Push Bill That Could Prevent Churches From Having Armed Security
Senator Edward Markey (D-MA) is pushing legislation that could prevent churches around the country from using a “security services unit” comprised of concealed carriers in congregations, parishes, etc.
The bill is the Preventing Private Military Act of 2024, and it is co-sponsored by Senator Laphonza Butler (D-CA).
The text of the bill prohibits “acting as part of or on behalf of a private paramilitary organization and armed with a firearm, explosive or incendiary device, or other dangerous weapon.”
In another portion of the bill, the text provides circumstances that qualify as an action that is prohibited and includes the use of “large capacity ammunition feeding devices,” which is leftist speak for magazines that hold more than ten rounds.

More from Protestia:

Senate Democrats Propose Bill That Would Criminalize Armed Church Security
A recent Lifeway survey of Protestant pastors shows that armed congregants protect more than 50% of protestant churches. While these security arrangements vary in their level of sophistication on a church-by-church basis, nearly the same number of pastors who report the use of armed congregants report that there is an intentional plan in place to prepare for threats posed by an active shooter. Though various state and local laws currently regulate and limit the use of concealed carry weapons by church security teams in various locale, a proposed federal law would criminalize the preparations made by many armed church security teams across the United States.
Sponsored in the U.S. Senate by Senator Edward Markey (D-MA) and cosponsored by Senator Laphonza Butler (D-CA), the Preventing Private Military Activity Act of 2024 widely defines a paramilitary group as any group of 3 or more persons who function under a command structure as a “security services unit.”

Democrats just keep chipping away at gun rights. They know they can’t overturn the Second Amendment – yet – so they just keep making it more difficult for people to own and use guns for protection.

375 Ruger Input Requested

Morning All;

I bought a .375 Ruger Guide a while back.
Absolutely loved the round.
So I was looking at getting a different 375 rifle.
I was wondering if there are better options out there for a rifle in 375.
YouTube and gun reviews are a good friend to have, but you never know who is being paid or getting a kick back.
What im looking for is SS/BB. Non-wood stock.
If it comes with wood then I guess I can just get an aftermarket.
But anyways, Moss makes one, Savage does also.... but are there better options?

Thanks
