Would this be the same joke that you just so happen to run into a tree? If so, I want no part in playing this joke on Top.. I plan on keeping all my extremities attached.

You'd have time to get away while he decides whether he's really stuck in a tree or not.

No way captain!!! I want no part in that one.. Then again, he probably couldn't catch me with all my "involuntary protein spill" he'd be slipping in..

Rifled slugs will go through a standard barrel no problem as already stated. As for slugs for HD, not my first choice. Might as well be a rifle. I won't use bird shot for HD either. Too much chance it won't get the job done. I keep mine ready with 00 buck. I do keep a couple of slugs in the side saddle just in case the need arises.....As for recoil, it is a 12ga...... But unless you're shooting the 3" magnum loads it is manageable....

Mornin all!

Gonna be busy today. Moose season opens tomorrow. Got guns and toys to Finnish cleaning......

Thanks Marc, gonna look into a box or two of slugs. As stated, not fir initial home defense, but a good option to have in the grab bags we have placed for her.

It is all theoretical cause I don't own any firearms anyway.

Blake, how could anyone ignore you??? Frightened into paralysis, maybe.

Not really, but those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it. Know thine enemy as thy self. Good job on the capitol M, I notices.

Afternooner. Went to the dealership, pretty nice guys here. They tried to make a little money on me, I told them I'd do it myself... then he offered to check my brakes out for free. Pretty nice guy.

Eating some egg salad with fresh bacon, and gonna have some Taco Pizza too. Tasty.

Was getting some fuel on the way home, some guy was like, 5500, huh? Never seen one with a stock type bed. I was like, yeah, I ordered it. He said something to the effect of, well, I sell them, I've never seen one before. I told him if he sold them, he should know, and what kind of Dodge salesman was he? I told him the truth in a minute

Oh, yeah... woke up to 17 PM's this morning... Ah, my faithful followers

Got the sympathy for your crutches or did you have them 'loaded'? Either way would get a free brake inspection.

Lately I have had to keep my one neighbor closer then my friends...if ya know what I mean. Last time we went out of town he and his wife took the liberty to use our hot tub several times while the neighbor behind us made note of it. Then he decided that all of his large cinder blocks would stack better at the end of my back driveway and in the way of the garbage bin. Next he is standing in his back yard swearing like mad about how someone put all his blocks across his path to the garbage bin and how he fell over them in the night. Then he is out front on his cell yelling and swearing how his f'n neighbor is parked in front of his house and he is gonna do something about it. It was my truck. Then he drives away in his car after I watched him stumble to the car. Everytime there is a local pro football game...he goes to the game, drinks his face off and then drives home...and drives more. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring, hello local LEO friend...here is a plate number for you at the address next to me that just left.

I have tried to overlook this as much as I can. I think about my 4 yr old daughter and him driving wasted...its gotta stop.

This is the same neighbor that lost his daughter in a terrible wreck two yrs ago...sad.

Do what you got to do little brother your little one is a lot more important than your neighbors feelings. If he gets to be too much of a nuisance, your big brother can come for a visit while you go to a large public venue with multiple witnesses to your where about's

Blue die in the hot tub might be a plan.

150 mile fishok electric fence charger and a couple of well placed and hidden leads. Motion activated of course. Don't forget the camera for a good laugh.
