Welcome from AZ!

Kudos Dr. Krisoff!

I agree with Stain. If you can find it, get some training simulator time. Maximum stress in hundreds of different situations, with the system operator able to change the outcome based upon your responses.

The "sanitariums" are still there...now they are called "group homes" and chances are you have one nearby.

Way to go Hemi!

Yup. On Marlin Owners, one of the former production managers spilled the beans on the Big R purchase. The Marlin-employed non-union craftsmen were given the following option: move to Ilion, NY on your own dime, lose all seniority, join the union, and start at the bottom of the payscale. No wonder nobody decided to follow production. A few years prior, Marlin had purchased H&R 1871/NEF, so those were part of the package also. At some point in our future people will realize the value in purchasing quality products that perform as expected, and management will leave behind the policy of "cut a corner, make a profit."

Welcome from AZ. The Rock River LAR-8s are all chambered .308 Win, as are most of the other brands I've looked across.

Marlin quality control went in the craphole after the Remington move to Ilion. Same with the name brand Bushmaster stuff.

A paltry sum compared to what they get in donations from AARP, Bar USA, AMA, ADA, APA, etc.

Yeah...but your source ROCKS above and beyond! :hethan: (I'm sure he could drag a few battalions with him)

A U.S. Marine Colonel was about to start the morning briefing to his staff. While waiting for the coffee machine to finish brewing, the Colonel decided to pose a question to all assembled. He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep. He posed the question of just how much of sex was "work" and how much of it was "pleasure?" A Major chimed in with 75%-25% in favor of work. A Captain said it was 50%-50%. A Lieutenant responded with 25%-75% in favor of pleasure, depending upon his state of inebriation at the time. There being no consensus, the colonel turned to the Private First Class who was in charge of making the coffee and asked for his opinion? Without any hesitation, the young Private First Class responded, "Sir, it has to be 100% pleasure.” The colonel was surprised and as you might guess, asked why? "Well, sir, if there was any work involved, the officers would have me doing it for them." The room fell silent. God Bless the enlisted man. Super heroes don't wear capes, they wear Dog Tags.

Man...I can't believe you keep mixing me and Shepp up. 3

Tactical toddler swing, detachable for airborne poopy missions.

My bro-in-law worked at the parts dept of a local dealer when those Honda S2000 came out, they had several in the shop within a couple of months...people getting on it then getting caught off guard.

Have you tried Lil' Gun yet? Amazing powder...meters well, lower pressures, less recoil.

Good looking rifle ridurall!

Well...you have to read between the sarcasm-&-ridicule lines but this article discusses an interesting development: http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2015/05/02/403865824/texas-governor-deploys-national-guard-to-stave-off-obama-takeover

It's the YT police killin' us! Er, uuhhh...the not "black enough" police! Kinda like that "white-hispanic" Zimmerman. No way in hell the media or race baiters are going to say "D'oh!"

<laughs> <lmao>

We need to start a "Baltimore Riots After Acquittal Pool" thread...time and how many cities. I choose "3 and 1/2 minutes" after any or all officers are acquitted. L.A., Philly, NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Baltimore. Yeah, conservative I know.

<lmao>

Should've thought of that with Detroit.

In AZ 2nd degree murder is intent to take a life without premeditation/planning it out. 1st degree is planning to take someone's life and doing it, OR committing 2nd degree murder while in the commission of another felony (i.e., robbing Circle K then shooting the clerk when they pull their own pistol).

After Vietnam, Central America, and Mena, Arkansas? No...they smuggle drugs. I was answering to the satire website.

More AZ welcoming!
