@2ndamendfan - I hear ya. Which is better: A pair on the internet when you should be reading about ballistics and gear or the pair at home you can play with?

Just curious.

Im a the "at home" kinda guy. maybe I am just old?......

PS: just ordered the last parts for my .22 LR shorty upper build. Parts should all arrive close together.
Little work and then off to the range to test..... :)
 


True story. I read that "mens department" joke years ago in a readers digest and stored it away for future use. Several years later, I was on a work outing with several guys I'd never met. We were together for a week and a half. One older guy seemed nice just "off". Always wore a bandana around his neck. As we were working one day, he and I were talking and we mention our service. He was navy and he busted out that line. I replied with the men's department line. We laughed and not much else was said at the time. Later that week, i found out he was a vet from Nam, was one of the original frog men before they were SEALs, and he had a knife wound scar on his neck and stomach from hand to hand. Granted, I only had his word as to his record, but I believed him.

Of all the freaking guys in the world to bust that line out on...
 
At a minimum - if "the RD bought if from the POS so the POS wouldn't cut it up and take it to another RD", we should know the POS that sold it to the RD.

I mean the RD did get information from the POS when he bought it, right?

By the way, I know what a "POS" is. What is an "RD"?
I was just using RD for "Recycling Dealer"

Obituary

Last of the Vigilantes Dies at Home Near Here [3]

Charles A. Beehrer, Member of Famous Early Day Band and Montana's First Brewer, Passes Away Last Thursday

Charles A. Beehrer, last of the famous Vigilantes who wiped out Henry Plummer and his gang of road agents, passed away at this ranch home near Reichle last Thursday evening. He is believed to have been the lone survivor of that band of hardy and courageous miners who restored law and order to the mining camps of Bannack and Virginia City in Montana's hectic early days.

He first came to Montana in 1863, and brewed the first beer made in the state at Virginia City in July of that year. In 1866 he located on a ranch, and had devoted most of his attention to stock raising since that time. He also founded the Kessler brewery in Helena, in 1865, and was identified with a number of other business enterprises during the early years of the state.

The funeral was held Saturday afternoon at Reichle. The Rev. H. M. Hudtloff of Butte officiated and interment was made in the Reichle cemetery.

Born in Germany, Dec. 4, 1836, he spent his youth in the land of his birth, learning the cooper's trade. In 1855 [4] [5] he came to America and made his home for a few months in Ann Arbor, Mich. He undertook to learn the brewing business in Kalamazoo, and for the next year was employed in breweries in a number of eastern cities.

He spent the winter of 1859-1860 in Kansas City and the following spring purchased a mule team and outfit and started for Denver, Colo., where the gold excitement was at its height. He secured some placer claims, but realized only a small sum from their operations. It was in an effort to raise funds with which to continue his mining that he entered a partnership with a butcher in Denver, and operated the first meat wagon in that city.

He followed this occupation for about three months, then opened a saloon in Denver. His plan of closing the doors of the saloon at 10 o'clock, however, was considered revolutionary in those days when such establishments ran all night.

In the spring of 1863, he disposed of his saloon and purchased a small brewing outfit. He then started across the plains for Montana, arriving in Virginia City on July 1. The following day he turned out a small quantity of beer, the first ever manufactured in Montana. He had only twenty-five cents in his pocket, but the first keg of beer brought him $88. He continued to manufacture beer in Virginia City until October 1865.

When Mr. Beehrer arrived in Virginia City, the famous mining camp was a scene of lawlessness. Henry Plummer, first sheriff of Beaverhead county, and his gang of road agents, were ruling with a high hand. Miners left Bannack and Virginia City after making their stake and either disappeared entirely or were found dead beside the trail, murdered by members of the worst gang of desperadoes Montana has ever known.

With the road agent's chief himself the head of "law enforcement" in the territory, respectable citizens of the camp found themselves powerless to cope with the road agents through the regular means.

It was then that the "Vigilance Committee" was formed, its members to be known as the Vigilantes, the most colorful figures in Montana's history. Charley Beehrer was one of the famous band, and a stout personal friend of its leader, Col Wilbur F. Sanders.

He took part in the capture, conviction and execution of many of Plummer's road agents, including Plummer himself. He was not present at the hanging of George Ives and Clubfoot George, having gone in pursuit of other members of the notorious gang. Plummer was hanged on a scaffold which he had erected for the execution of another man.

A total of 22 of the road agents were executed, and the others were either driven from the community or fled in fear of the relentless Vigilantes.

130 dead in Italy in the last 24 hours, and numbers are rising.

Maybe we should stop making fun about this.
Humor is a coping mechanism and should always be part of human nature and survival.

Or perhaps we make it illegal to makes jokes about COVID 19 and even punish those that mention it in a non-medical emergency sort of way. That will help, for sure.:rolleyes:
 
I thought he/she meant that 130 people died because of the V, the 11, the cooch, the gash, the poonanny, the life support system for a pussy.

130 in italy died yesterday because they drive like Italians and rammed their Fiats into bridge abutments.

How is their single payer healthcare working for them?

Sirhr

PS... I spent a month in Italy last spring at the conflict archaeology project at Cassino. And a week in Naples. Where they crap in the street like San Fran.... and that is in the nice tourist neighborhoods. Right outside my hotel, a couple had their toddler just drop trou and crap on the sidewalk. Right in public. It's not a homeless problem... It's a Napolese problem! Food safety? Ah ha ha hah ah a.... And there is a HUGE aged population there. With little in the way of a healthcare system. If there is a worse place to hit in Western Europe for a pandemic...I don't know it. Maybe the Mozzie areas of Paris.

They are the worst drivers I've ever encountered. Naples was downright scary to drive in.
Good coffee, good food, nice hotels (well, as long as it's not near the zoo) and the wimmins ain't too bad lookin either.

How many from influenza?

How many in the 3rd world related to dirty water and no sanitation for their bathroom waste due to overpopulation? VS this virus?

Lets see the numbers in our healthcare system in the US. Sorry, Italy doesnt have the healthcare infrastructure we do.

While COVID-19 is deadly, it is to a specific subset of the population, same as flu and the last few terrible viral diseases that went world wide.
The old, the frail, the immunosuppressed.

For most its like the flu. Sucks. Wont kill ya.

It is blown WAY out of proportion by the media and pushed by the globalists financiers.
 
When I was working EMS we handled so many outbreaks I can't even remember them all. Ask people what they did for the SARS or the H1N1... They look at you like you speaking another language. The only thing different about this one is the MSM and the democrats want to tie it to Trump. That's it and that's all. Oh yeah if your a CEO who's business model had your supply chain anchored in a third world country, you might want to rethink that. It will cost a little more but real Country's like the US have to pay for a health care system that doesn't involve a which doctor dancing around a fire with a voodoo doll and a dead chicken. Your work force will be healthy and on time. Seems like all the Clinton,Bush, and Obama trade deals weren't as good for business as they said.

If you’re claiming that you have no use for titty pics because you can play with a pair any time you want I’m calling bullshit — unless your titties don’t have a woman attached to them.
