Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
Perhaps an improved replacement trigger will fix that. I haven't fired mine enough to notice. There are web sites devoted to the AK47, and you might try Brownells
(Oh, and Big'ol approves of the head gear - he's at the Sox game tonite even)
I could use one of those. Ungh.
It comes with a converter...it’s more expensive than the pen but the whole thing is less than $10.
Matthew wants one real bad...but I won’t let him use mine.

Evening Talon - very nice weaponry, his and herz models. 25 yds is right fur piece but with a bit of practice, y’all get it. In days gone by we shot a lot at 25 yds, standing and kneeling, strong and weak hand. For defensive, 3, 7 and 10 yards make more sense to me.
Re; AK trigger, my gunning buddy says ‘aftermarket - brownells or hit the AK forums’. No personal experience with aftermarket triggers and AKs.
Here in Iowa the rules vary by county and the sheriff sets them. If you put down ‘self defense’ as your reason on the application our sheriff will not give you one. However ‘often carry at least 500 in cash’ is a good enough reason. Such a nice warm fuzzy to know our lives are worth exactly 500 in cash. He also has the testing requirements set overly high. The test for my Florida permit was not nearly that bad. 10 or 15 yards and I aced it pretty easily even timed.
25 is not impossible as you know but they only defensive caliber handguns we have that Jen likes to shoot are really short barrel. I should be fine with my 1911s but it gave us a good excuse to get here a 5” 9mm. I was going to just wait until the election (local sheriff election is this year) since the guy is retiring and his replacements look much better. But the guy at the gun store I trust pointed out there will be a big rush in the fall after that so we should just get one now and have it updated then. The ones that he issues now have a restriction to only be valid if you have that 500 on you. But the word is the presumptive new guy will swap out permits with that restriction.
I have an SLR101 and even with a poorly sighted in scope I can hit within an inch or two at 100 yards. I don't pay much more attention than that. Without a spotting scope all I shoot at that range are sticks and clays that people leave out on the berm. So all I have to go from for accuracy is the puffs of dirt. I need to get a nice spotting scope before I can do much to tune up my long range skills.
I think you should get him a Rotring Core...Swisher has ‘em on clearance for $10 with the converter.
They’re hideous (in a very cool, ugly sci-fi sort of way), bulletproof, and write very nicely.
Search their site for the code RO22460 when you get a minute.
Evening 2J - You and your Church group do great work, they have quite a disaster response organization. My hat’s off to them one and all.
Heard Mo is 108 tornados for the year. Average is 30 per year. Not an average year so far.
Be sure to have a hugh wad of cash on you when you go for your interview.
Michigan had a permit system that became, by misuse, a "may issue" system. The small counties were generally good on issuing "general" CCWs, but the big counties only issued "restricted" CCWs unless you hit the right political buttons with the sheriff or chief of police.
About ten years ago, the state constitution was amended to say that "shall issue" really means shall issue.
Now the politicians are trying to add hair-splitting conditions to deny licenses, including being charged (but not convicted) of misdemeanor breach of peace.
Iowa is one of the few ‘may’ issue hold outs.
Fortunately in this county the sheriff is retiring and the main Dem candidate and the only Rep candidate are on record saying they will ease up on the silly restrictions. It will be nice to be able to carry other times than just when I am out of state visiting folks. Additionally Jen and I are going to get a Utah permit soon so we both will be legal in even more states.
Mmm...nice!
How are you this fine evening? How’s Rose? Haven’t seen her around in awhile.
The new monitor was my birthday gift from Rose, btw. :-)
Ah - yesterday was your birthday, no?
All yesterday I kept thinking it was *someone’s* birthday, but I couldn’t remember who it was!
Happy belated birthday! Or just happy birthday, if we *aren’t* a day late and a dollar short. ;-)
Check the laws of the other states, and see if they have reciprocity agreements with your state. That way, your permit is automatically good in another state.
How's thenewcar treating you?
There are some but my FL non resident permit covers a lot more.
National Disturbed People's Day
Please send an encouraging message to a disturbed friend... just as I've done.
I don't care if you lick windows,
take the special bus
or occasionally pee on yourself..
You hang in there sunshine, you're special. :~)
