Having said that I am a huge believer in renewable energy. I think it should be pursued and researched until they are truly viable energy sources, and then they should be implemented at that time. Maybe we are at that time I do not know yet.
Having said all of that, not a single dime of tax money should go in subsidies to these companies. They and all other utilities should stand or fall on their own.
30 years later and Gen X (who spawned the Millennials and much of Gen Y) are saying the same stuff.
20 years from now the Millennials will be bitching about America's youth.

WY-SHOT 2019
Somewhere close to the middle of June each year, we have a number of
handgunners from all around the United States, and one from out of country,
that come to play on steel, and shoot prairie dogs with handguns of all
kinds.
Some, just come to shoot prairie dogs. They use rimfires, in single shot, revolver, and semi automatics handguns.
Others use centerfire cartridges, both straight wall and bottleneck. All kinds of handgun action types can be found, some use iron sights, other use dot sights, and most use some kind of scope (both handgun and rifle scopes).
The majority, however, does a little bit of both.
If this sounds intriguing or fun to you, give me a holler.

Some shoot the prairie dogs off of the bench, some shoot prone,
and others use different kinds of field rests.
Some folks go for lots of
kills, while others are going for personal records at longer distances.
Either way the rancher is happy.
Then comes those who also want
to shoot steel from about 100 yards, to beyond 1000 yards. The majority
of targets are 5 inch and 10 inch, but as we go further out, we do have
some larger targets as well. The steel shoot, is under time with 5 to 8
targets per stage (6 stages each day). There are no benches to shoot off of.
This is a field
shooting match.
Some shots are from kneeling or sitting, while other
shots from the prone position.
Add to that, on the fun day we will be doing a little ELR shooting out to around 2500 yards with specialty pistols.
I guess I get more excited about watching our younger shooters compete,
and the new guys/gals who are learning to shoot distance for the first
time.
Last year, we added a one-day field shooting class (optional) on
the Saturday before WY-SHOT. We are doing that again this year, with some locals, who because of time constraints are only coming to the Saturday training class only.
We have some folks who only shoot
prairie dogs the whole three days, while there are others who only want
to shoot the steel match. The majority, however, does a little bit of both.
If this sounds intriguing or fun to you, give me a holler.
WY-SHOT 2019 is June 17-19.
Putting this on, brings me much pleasure, and I get to be with good friends and meet new ones.
Re: Is it too early to talk about the SE shoot?
Jeffsgk can't make it-- his twin daughters (very bright girls) have orientation at Northern Michigan University the following Tuesday and he is going to be off work for 3 or 4 days for that and can't afford to take any more time off or be out of town that long.
Cpj-- Long story short... his oldest broke her arm twice. She has a steel plate in her arm. That plate is being a giant jerk. They are going to remove it later this month... right before the SE Shoot. He didn't say he can't go, but did state that his daughter comes first (obviously). His coming is dependent upon her condition.
Chiro... Yea... right. I am going to assume that you are not coming from now on, so don't bother acting like you are/were considering it. I really wanted to finally meet you in person. I guess you didn't want to meet me. That is disappointing. Your excuses suck.
Re: The last person to post in this thread wins a brick of .22 ammo
Went to a chain steak house tonight, someone paid for our meal anonymously. I was wearing one of those Vietnam Vet hats.
I think the Lord Jesus wanted a check given the local food bank. It shall happen.

Re: Quick! Sweep this one under the rug!
Teach said:When the kids didn't join in lockstep with the gun grabbers, the media suddenly put this shooting on the back burner. Praise the kid who charged the shooter and gave his life in the process, but virtually ignore the young Marine recruit (Delayed Enlistment Program) who actually disarmed the scumbag, and give virtually no air time to the walkout in protest to the Brady Bunch propagandists. That's what I call sweeping this incident under the rug. It doesn't fit the liberals' agenda, mostly because the incident wasn't allowed to go on long enough to raise the body count. "If it bleeds, it leads!" didn't happen well enough this time!
I read about that kid too and how he was buried with full military honors. And I don't watch FOX news either. While it is terrible that these things are still happening, I am optimistic that things are starting to turn in the right direction.
The perpetrators are not getting the notoriety they crave-- I am not really sure who any of these losers are now. Before, we would get a complete profile of these people, now we are getting them on the kids that charged them.
For years, I have been advocating in person to my own kids, their friends, and on here that no matter what, they have to fight back. Rocks, creamed corn, hockey pucks, desks, pencils... whatever! Hiding under a desk makes you a target. Attacking makes you a target too, but you have much better chances going on the offense. Otherwise, you are a sitting duck. And when you use violence... use violence. Either you are violent or you are not. If you have to be violent, it is life or death and you better act like it. You better be ruthless-- we ain't doing the whole "rough them up and hold them down" thing-- it is a "jamb a pencil in their eye and crush their skull with a trash can" type thing. The perpetrator forfeited their humanity by doing what they were doing and deserve none.
Re: Renewable Energy Surpasses Coal
Yeah This is the truth. Obama saddled the coal industries with fatal regulations while he threw money at renewable energy.zorba said:The only reason coal is dead is because Obama et al killed it.
Having said that I am a huge believer in renewable energy. I think it should be pursued and researched until they are truly viable energy sources, and then they should be implemented at that time. Maybe we are at that time I do not know yet.
Having said all of that, not a single dime of tax money should go in subsidies to these companies. They and all other utilities should stand or fall on their own.
Re: The youth of America
Yeah, stereotyping an entire generation sounds very much like what I heard about Gen X in the mid 80's from the Boomers.Buford said:Of course there not.breamfisher said:

Re: Blistering article on NRA dysfunction and self dealing
Looks like North is trying to do what is needed to clean house. Will see who wins this battle.
Re: Blistering article on NRA dysfunction and self dealing
All the more important that we work to clean our own house.CaliFFL said:I'm a life member of the GOA. They have successfully sued a few states over the years but they do not have the money or connections the NRA has (or had) if all of this is true.
This chapter in the NRA will fuel the anti-gun zealots and with a more than cooperative media, Michael Moore will produce an academy award winning documentary detailing the corruption within the NRA.
The youth of America
I know on some other threads folks are bagging on today's youth, but let's remember...
Riley Howell, shot 3 times at UNC Charlotte while trying to save his classmates from a student intent on mass murder.
Kendrick Castillo, who died yesterday in Colorado at the STEM school shooting while tackling one of the shooters who was trying to kill his teacher and friends. He was going to graduate.
Brendan Bialy, future Marine (he's in DEP) and his classmates, who subdued one of the STEM school shooters.
They're not all Tide pod eaters.
