Lots of Chinese people freak out at that campus.

 

Eight more days....

YouTube - Van Zant - Nobody Gonna Tell Me What To Do

 

Yea...Chinese fella supposedly decapitated a Chinese female with a kitchen knife in a coffee shop in the commons...what the hell...

 

This conversation reminds me of this:

Dorks - Mencia: Get a Yob

When I waitressed, we had a cook that would do that. Spoke perfect English, except when the manager came around and asked him for something, then it was "no habla"

Good grief. Well...hopefully he has a round chambered and. We don't need people that dumb shooting guns.

You'd be surprised. Some people lose all common sense when in the presence of firearms.

Glocks are dangerous. A standard trigger on a Glock is about a 5 lb pull, similar to most revolvers. A Glock is cocked whenever a round is chambered...and like I said most Glocks have extremely light triggers...so all it takes is a "bump" and its possible to accidentally fire one. Its similar to walking around with a revolver with the hammer pulled back.

Speaking of firearms, Randy took off for Omaha tonight, and I am stuck here until Saturday. He took his guns with him, and snagged my .357 too. My rifles are being stored in Nebraska, and without my .357, I have no way to protect myself! And I am home by myself for two days. UGH!

 

Hey guys/gals, Mark is on line.. Not interested in typing.. he is looking over his thread if we want to drop a hey in there..

 

Lisa I agree with you on the cocked part of the glock, but you must have your finger fully wrapped around the trigger for it to pull. You cant just bump it and have it go off. They are far to safe for that. Just want to clarify.

 

Any one ever plowed snow with a 2wd dually?

 

I've tried plowing with a 4x4 dually in 2 wheel drive. It didn't work out that great. A dually isn't the best for plowing unless you're putting a sander in it. The sander gives it enough weight to grab traction. A SRW truck really needs weight in the bed to get good traction, but not as much as a dually since it's got less tire contacting the ground making for more PSI of pressure from the truck making more traction.

I'm sure you already knew that, but I just like being through.

 

It probably depends on the weapon, and who you ask! Glocks are a hotly debated topic. I've read reports about Glocks randomly firing, when the safety is off....for example, my old roommate worked for the Denver Police. He carried a Glock and his Sgt. made him install an 8lb trigger on that particular firearm. His Sgt. apparently knew another officer who shot himself in the leg because he slid his Glock into his holster without the safety switched on, and managed to snag the trigger.

I am only posting information I have read. I have never owned a Glock, and definitely never been shot by one.

The confusing part of the video that was posted...I could swear that agent emptied the gun and checked the chamber.

I guess the old rule remains...never put your finger on the trigger of a gun unless you intend on firing it, and never point it at yourself or anyone else.

 

Thanks Pete I've never plowed snow with a truck, always with a skidsteer. Do real aggressive tires help when plowing snow my project plow truck was gonna have to be 2wd. You know what I'm probbaly better just buying and old F-350 dually with an old mechanical 7.3L and turn that into my plow truck.

 

Jake my dad did snow removal all winter back before I was born. He stopped around when my brother was born so that he could be home. I'm relying on his knowledge here for the most part.

When you're plowing you want narrow tires with good tread. You want to put down the most pressure against the ground you can. That increases your traction and as we all know more traction is more gooder.

You've got 2 options for a plow truck really.

1: A dually with narrow tires and a big old sander on the back for sanding and for ballast.
2: A SRW truck with narrow tires and some ballast of any type. A sander is really not within the legal weight on a SRW truck.

If I was setting up a truck for plowing I'd go with a 4x4 unless 2x4 was my ABSOLUTE last option.

All that said my old plow was a 1985 GMC Sierra 3500 dually mason dump with a stick shift and a 350.

The stick shift has its benefits and drawbacks. Plow trucks can tend to go through transmissions because of the repeated back and forth movement that comes with plowing. A manual transmission is much cheaper and easier to replace. An automatic transmission, while more expensive, is much easier on your shoulders. The day after you spend a day in a stick shift plow truck your shoulder will probably be pretty sore.

Here's the old plow beast.

It's being sold at auction tomorrow. Or at least we hope we can sell it. We're hoping to replace it with an 01 7.3L plow rig.

That truck had some decent weight in the back end because of the hydraulic cylinder for the dump. It did get a big light in the back end at times though which was no good.

 

Good points for sure Lisa, mine has the 5lb, and zero safety. You pull, it shoots. The safety IS the trigger.

 

I plan on getting an old F-350 this spring that hopefully is already set up for plowing. I would like to have m own truck sometimes, I plan on using the truck in the spring and summer for hauling stuff. I will probbably take off the bed and replace it with a flat bed.

 

Unless you've got 5 grand to drop on a new plow then you've got to find yourself one already set up with a plow.

Whatever you do make sure it's a name brand plow like Meyers, Fisher, Western, Boss, Blizzard, etc.

The plow on that ^ truck is a "Diamond" and it's a hunk of junk.

 

Definitely a weapon best kept in the hands of someone knowledgeable such as yourself!

Speaking of plowing, I want to get a little plow for my Kodiak. Those buggers are surprisingly expensive.
