I usually don't like bashing on LEO's, but a lot of Chicago Police are dicks. I was watching that show where the two dudes go around with metal detectors trying to find buried shit (they were looking for Al Capone era Prohibition crap) and a bunch of Steve Wilkos (who also acts like a dick most of the time
) looking Chicago cops started hassling them about the digging tools they were carrying. Like WTF, do you expect them to stab a skin plug out of somebody, or go on a metal detector shooting spree?

The bodyguards were probably busy doing a Harvey Weinstein/Anthony Wiener with some local Chi Town 'ho's when the robbery took place.
Anyway, the miscreants who did the robbery should be pretty easy to catch. It's not everyday that someone comes into a pawnshop and tries to shill a Star of David necklace.
Oh, and BTW - Haiti really IS a shithole.

Linda looks hot....spam or not.....
She would have one of those "O" faces leaving the house if she came and checked out my heating & air conditioning.
How come most of the NJ heating & A.C. techs sent to my house look like John Goodman?

Sorry for the shitty picture (don't have Gimp on the current computer to rotate the picture). The "fruity" Robin's Egg Blue one is 9mm (Glock 17 clone), while the Olive Drab (looks black to me?
) is .40 S&W (Glock 22 clone).I see a dark grey one and a green one... Whathehel are you talking about?!
Just going by what the Spectre P80 box has marked on it. The O.D. one looks like it has a little green in it (like Remington's "Seneca green" Nylon 66
) if you look at it in bright direct sunlight (not anything like Glock's actual O.D. coloring), while the (supposed? 
) "Robins Egg Blue" frame looks closer to a Yeti turquoise big gulp tumbler in it's actual color.Of course it doesn't help none that our kitchen (where I tried taking the picture in) is about as well lighted as the local Red Lobster with the crap energy efficient LED bulbs that are currently in the lamp sockets.

A Glock is a great handgun. No argument there, but what can be done to knock the ugly off?
Ah come on. The Gen. 3 Glock (with the finger groves) is a thing of beauty.
I'm considering a ground-up new build on a Poly80 frame.
It's winter and I want a project. I'll do the work myself.
I don't go out much when it's in the single digits.
Nothing HUGE money, and this will be used for carry as well as range use. So G17, 19, 23, or 34. Not sure if I'll do a standard or compact.
I just put two of those bastards together myself (was going through the flu and was bored). Actually was a quite fun project.
Sorry for the shitty picture (don't have Gimp on the current computer to rotate the picture). The "fruity"
Robin's Egg Blue one is 9mm (Glock 17 clone), while the Olive Drab (looks black to me? ) is .40 S&W (Glock 22 clone).Haven't had a chance to field test them yet (too darn cold), but they appear to be solid.
And sorry for the shadow in the picture, tablet was between the light source and what I was trying to photograph.

One of the several models made of the old "clakedy-clack" gill gun.
I got one downstairs somewhere, should go dust it off.
-
I had an old Stevens semi-auto that you could lock the bolt closed for single shot action. That would have been a perfect rifle for a can. Should never have sold it!
Savage model 6A, I presume?

Anybody want a slice of well done kebab meat?

Well, I'm basically lazy, and probably wouldn't sharpen them much, so the "get a few uses out of them and then throw them away" knifes are probably best for me.
I *DO* find the high carbon Asian grocery market knives quite easy to sharpen without that much effort expended, even though their shape makes them not that great for butchering.
I tend to break the tips off knives while doing field dressing, so I don't even like using expensive pocket hunting knives for that task. Give me some Old Hickory brand butcher knives from SMKW and I'm happy doing that task.

Good call. I felt like Hi Point corresponds to cutco, but only if Hi Points cost $1100, Kel Tek might be more fair to compare to those japanese Santuko knives which have a bit of pattern welded metal, every where except the cutting edge. Clever, but dodgy.
Referring to Japanese Santuko's here, do you mean those carbon steel knives you can get at Asian groceries for like $12 a pop?
If so, Mom (not a professional cook by far) loves them. She's got knife blocks full of Wusthof's and Henkel's and other overpriced shit to choose from, but she always goes back to the carbon steel $12 Asian grocery store specials. She says they cut up foodstufs like a sonnofabitch and are easy to sharpen up afterwards.
Me not being a chef knife connoisseur here.

Um, Jennings might be a better example.
Kel Tecs might be ugly as Janet Reno's red headed half sister, but they do (I'm told) tend to work.

Deleted. Too much info.

Heh, when I was in the Boy Scouts (many years ago now
) a "Dutch Oven" meant leaning (London Bridging) over someone's sleeping bags face hole and sharing the scent of that night's bean side dish with them. 
Reminds me now how lazy our Scout Masters were with all the (usually cold) C-Rats they used to feed us.
That does look absolutely fantastic, Chile.

Devin Patrick Kelley is the suspected shooter's name.
Air Force drop out, according to what the the news outlets are reporting now.
-
I guess playing Call of Duty proved to be more important.
-
In NK, it was probably a bunch of prisoners digging the tunnels.
Or indentured young girls and young males he got tired of having forced sex with.

Funny, this tune seems to keep popping into my head lately....

I don't know if it been posted in the thread yet, but one of the people at the LV concert who said there were multiple shooters on her Facebook page has suddenly died now.

I found what Ted Nugent supposedly posted about the professional sports athletes kneeling in protest during the National Anthem kind of refreshing.
I know a lot of Veterans don't like Ted Nugent because of his supposed draft deferment during the Viet Nam conflict (as reported in Rolling Stone newsrag (which I trust to be as Conservative (and actually truthful
) on issues as the MSNBC news network)) Anyway, good read. Even if he was a draft dodger, he seems to care now about thanking the Vets for their service.

TAKE A KNEE
Take a little trip to Valley Forge in January. If you don't know where that is, just Google it from the sidelines. Hold a musket ball in your fingers and imagine it piercing your flesh and breaking a bone or two. There won't be a doctor or trainer to assist you until after the battle, so just wait your turn. Take your cleats and socks off to get a real experience. Then take a knee.
Then, take one at the beach in Normandy where man after American man stormed the beach, even as the one in front of him was shot to pieces...the very sea stained with American blood. The only blockers most had were the dead bodies in front of them, riddled with bullets from enemy fire.
Take a knee in the sweat soaked jungles of Vietnam. from Khe San to Saigon... Anywhere will do. REAL Americans died in all those jungles. There was no playbook that told them what was next, but they knew what flag they represented. When they came home, they were protested as well..and spit on for reasons only cowards know.
Take another knee in the blood drenched sands of Fallujah in 110 degree heat... Wear your Kevlar helmet and battle dress... Your number won't be printed on it unless your number is up! You'll need to stay hydrated but there won't be anyone to squirt Gatorade into your mouth. You're on your own.
There's a lot of places to take a knee. Real Americans have given their lives all over the world. When you use the banner under which they fought as a source for your displeasure, you dishonor the memories of those who bled for the very freedoms you have. That's what the red stripes mean. It represents the blood of those who spilled a sea of it defending your liberty.
While you're on your knee, pray for those that came before you, not on a manicured lawn striped and printed with numbers to announce every inch of ground taken...but on nameless hills and bloodied beaches and sweltering forests and bitter cold mountains...every inch marked by an American life lost serving that flag you protest.
No cheerleaders, no announcers, no coaches, no fans...just American men and women...delivering the real fight against those who chose to harm us...blazing a path so you would have 'the right to take a knee.'
You haven't an inkling what it took to get you where you are; but your 'protest' is duly noted. Not only is it disgraceful to a nation of real heroes, it serves the purpose of pointing to your ingratitude for those who chose to defend you under that banner that will still wave long after your jersey is issued to another...
If you really feel the need to take a knee, come with me to church on Sunday and we'll both kneel before Almighty God. We'll thank Him for preserving this country for as long as He has. We'll beg forgiveness for our ingratitude for all He has provided us. We'll appeal to Him for understanding and wisdom. We'll pray for liberty and justice for all...because He is the one who provides those things.
And there will be no protest. There will only be gratitude for His provision and a plea for His continued grace and mercy on the land of the free and the home of the brave It goes like this...
"GOD BLESS AMERICA!"-

Okay, instead of being a worthless dick here and posting useless shit, here are two things I can think of:
Who the hell are you and what have you done with our Gaddis?!
Careful, it's probably not that great of an idea to encourage Gaddis by saying nice things about him. He has been behaving himself lately, hasn't he?
It's been said that he has been saving up a pretty good collection of stretched out meat-flap/starfish wiener pictures he's been dying to post somewhere.

Okay, instead of being a worthless dick here and posting useless shit, here are two things I can think of:
According to Atlantic Firearms, bullet buttons apparently are still a viable option in CA with MKA's if (I assume?) they themselves still sell a supposedly CA compliant model:
https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=486519
And I could have sworn reading something in the recent edition of Shotgun News (but don't hold an old drunk to that) about other mods you can (apparently?
) still do to magazine fed firearms that still get past the bullet buttons still don't make it legal to own here onerous (asshole) states. Or (being a dick here again
), you can always get all your California MKA buddies together in a big MKA armed group and tell the asshole CA political leftists to Molon Labe and go fook off because you all had about all the bullshittery you can take from them. 
Tell them Gaddis backs you all up too.

Well, you could put a dildo over the welded shut barrel and that would make some (usually male) Californians very happy.
Of course if you pulled the charging handle on it, and a big doob would come out of the muzzle (like one of those plastic cigarette donkeys of the '70's), I'm sure it might pass muster there too. Of course the firearm in question would still have to be a non-functional model though.
I was also thinking if you could find a way to hide a bunch of undocumented illegals in it (butt trap, magazine?
), it might fly there too. But, of course we are talking about a firearm here.

I'm sure the few (still tax paying) Illinois residents will (be coerced) into correcting that little oversight.
