Bought myself a press. Learned to reload. Laughed at my friends.

Blossom end rot is a PITA. I've heard about using salt but never tried it. It's supposedly caused by Calcium deficiency and my Dad has been having trouble with his tomatoes for a couple years. I might experiment with his plants this year.

Man, I've been missing out on some of my favorite topics! I need to check in here more often. Gardening is my second-biggest hobby, with guns being first. My 2011 garden was ~800 sq ft, but I moved and I'm down to less than 150 sq ft. Makes Jonny sad. Pre-started plants: In some regions, it's your only option to get any real results. Tomatoes in particular take too long to start producing from seed around here (NE IN). Starting indoors is unbelievably rewarding but can end up being cost-prohibitive. I get all of my tomatoes and peppers from a couple local greenhouses. It's important to note

I'm a welder, so carrying would be no bueno. My bosses are pretty cool about it though. One keeps a Colt Double Eagle in his lunchbox and the other brings his G21 inside when we work late. This past summer I was the only one working past 10pm. He asked me where my gun was and I told him it was in my truck. "Wtf is it doing out there? We're all alone here- go get your piece." We've never had any serious trouble, but it's not comforting to think that the "Barber Shop Shooting" was right down the street...

Well they just cancelled the Precision Rifle Shoot for this weekend due to the rifle range being underwater. Lame! Lol! I'm on the back side of Meadowbrook, like 1/4mi from Adams Ctr. Agreed, Jonny wants mag dumps. After the Facebook discussions I had with some liberal fuckwads this morning, Jonny NEEDS mag dumps. That is no joke, my friend. I work second shift at the old Fruehauf building. In the summer, it is not even unusual to hear shots fired. Oddly, LEOs don't show up for about 10-15 minutes. My personal favorite of these incidents was about 10:30pm. Just arou

I didn't know things were down (haven't been around much lately). Auburn, eh? That's a bit of a commute. Still, in this economy it's hard to find work that pays worth a damn. Gotta take what you can get I s'pose. Looks like I'll be up at Hillside Saturday morning unless it floods out again. I was going to see if either of you guys would like to meet up but I've gotta help a buddy move as soon as I'm done there (test-firing my very first reloads). Maybe in a few weeks I'll have time and ammo again and we can ring some steel.

Bummer! Well at least your parts are in good hands. Pauly is the man!

Ah, I've never made it to one of the K's Merch shows. Something always seems to come up. I'm in Fort Wayne pretty often- I actually work on E Pontiac, hence me being on a gun forum. I'd be surprised if we haven't bumped into each other once or twice. Either of you fellas on IndianaShooter? Ever make it up to Hillside? Hells yeah, we can go shoot sometime. Max's right, Rayne- gotta get another. Hell, even I have a spare!

There's a show this weekend? Coliseum or fairgrounds? Oh yeah- 'sup, neighbors?

Bumpski. Anybody use yours yet? I know I'm slacking this year.. How 'bout you guys?

Dillon RL550B, .45ACP and .40S&W dies, Eliminator balance beam scale, extra toolhead and powder die, caliber conversion kits, Hornady reloading manual and digital powder scale, Lee universal decapping die and spare pins, loadbooks galore, powder, primers, and bullets. Buh-bye, tax monies!

GP and don't look back.

I'm a small guy and I've carried a S&W Sigma that way for years. The only time I've had a problem is when I forget it's there and try to sit in a car which pinches sensitive organs between the slide and the seat. ...I usually remember that it's there quite quickly.

Lemon Meringue! FTW!!! I actually made a lemon meringue pie from scratch not too long ago. My family was on vacation and it was supposed to be a "welcome home" surprise. ...Except I forgot that you can't leave pie in front of a former fat kid. It was delicious.

It's amazing how this latest shooting has polarized the nation. You've got people on one side who are now terrified of guns and millions of people who have suddenly "seen the light" when it comes to carrying. I really wish how I could predict how this will all pan-out. I'll be OC'ing at the grocery store tonight- I guess I'll see how people respond.

Signs mean nothing. Trespassing if you don't leave when asked? Fuck it. You don't want my business? That's your choice. I carry everywhere I go. New IN law allows carry to work (to- not in). I leave my 1911 in the truck 'till it's time to clock out, then it's on my hip. Thus far, openly carrying has had overwhelmingly positive consequences. Concealed carrying has given me great peace of mind. IMO, the crazy ones are those who believe their protection lies in anyone's hands but their own.

I hope you are right liberty but i fear just the opposite. How many of these panic buyers will exercise proper safety protocol? I'm concerned that many have no experience with firearms beyond the video games they play. If there is a sudden rash of accidental shootings due to mishandling it could ad fuel to the already raging anti-gun fire. I would love to be more optimistic about the future of our rights but my optimism is in short supply these days. That is exactly my concern as well. I think it's great that people are coming around, but I've heard way too many people talking about buy

I took a handgun course last year and the instructor was telling us about a guy who was shot by the police because of this. He was with his family at Home Depot and someone in the store saw him and called the police. As he was leaving the store, the police drive up and tell him to "freeze" and all that. He complies and as he's raising his hands in the air, his shirt raises revealing the CC gun. They shot him right there. I'm not sure where this happened or even if this story is true (can anyone provide a reference?), but that has remained the only reason I don't carry on my per

I'm curious- Do you think it's more panic buying or people seeking self-defense in your area? I know out by me, it's been about a 50/50 split lately. About half of the people that flock to the shows and shops are worried about a new AWB, while the other half are worried about the future and are just buying their first firearms.

Could be. Is this how this will pan out? Anyone that gets pissy with you and know you own guns goes to the cops and fabricates some lie? It wouldn't surprise me in the least. I know people who have been lawfully carrying a holstered handgun, only to have some jackass call the cops and say, "Oh my god! Help me! There's a man with a gun!" I've even heard rumors of people claiming, "He was waving the gun around and acting threateningly!" When no such behavior was carried out. People believe what they want to believe. If the media says, "Guns are the source of the problem," the general pop

Actually, it does happen quite frequently. I've read numerous small reports (none of which I can remember the specifics of) in which the "bad guy" was taken out before he could do any serious harm. You are spot-on about the media though. I always thought people were exaggerating when they said the media tries to "brainwash" you. Hell no! It's quite literal!! When people see me OC'ing, they always ask, "Do you have a permit for that?" It's what they see on TV. My personal favorite is, "That's registered, right?" They have no idea what the laws of this state are. When asked, "What permit might

Oh, great! In my neck of the woods, no less! I've been fighting hell to make people aware that the state of Indiana allows open-carry in public places for years now. I had finally just won a couple of small 2A victories, and now this. My hope in all of this is that after all the violence of late, someone armed steps up and is in the right place at the right time to put the next one down and save some lives & liberty. -fingers crossed, gents-

So does my ex, but that doesn't mean I want that bitch hanging around! Nah, they are what they are- neat little shooters for the money, backed with a good warranty policy from what I've heard. As to the OP, this is unfortunate. I'm getting really tired of all these shootings being publicized by the liberal media. It's one thing to state the facts, but they don't even do that. My LGS got robbed about a month ago and the first report was that the owner had been shot in the face, a customer had been grazed, and the shop had been pilliaged. A friend of mine spoke to dispatch an hour later
