I would say that the first thing a person ought to get prior to buying a firearm is a passing grade on a mandatory firearm safety course and mental health check plus a prior felon check. I know that a lot of you will find this somehow impinges on your " freedoms" but tuff s hit. Its my opinion. It comes from too many idiots running around my neighborhood shooting stuff up at all hours of the day and night and Ive had bullets whiz by me on two seperate occassions as well as had shotgun pellets rain down near me. People are stupid and some of them shouldnt be allowed access to lethal weapons. Thats why we license drivers in this state and you periodically need to renew that license.

Go play in the tinderbox. This thread isn't about that.

I remember eating my first burrito. It was like this transcendental moment where I realized that I was part of something bigger. It made me question faith, reality, and life all in one moment as the cheesey queso dripped down my dimpled chin. Imagine the joy one has when a child is born. Now imagine that child is a burrito and you cover them in pica de gallo and eat them.

Yeah, ride out with that talk TomCat...

SCP, I can understand & respect your decision, people do change their minds. My kids are 3 & 5, and into everything. To say I am worried about it is an understatement. I did not bring the forearm into my house without having a safe, which is now mounted to the wall inside my closet. When my son gets about 7, I plan on teaching him to shoot. More to take away the curiosity, if he knows, is educated on proper use & handling, Im hoping that the ooh factor will be gone. I figure if I take him shooting, then should the day ever come when he has friends over & they are intrigued by them then he will be smart enough to say "No, not ooh, those are guns and we're not touching them". At least that is what I am hoping for...

That's exactly how I planned to do it. I just changed my mind on the whole situation.

Anyway, sorry. My intent was not to derail the thread.

      ESPN's Barnwell Early Offseason Grades

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46683459/2025-nfl-offseason-tiers-32-teams-best-worst-signings-trades-draft-barnwell Slightly above expectations Highlights: Trading WR Adam Thielen, signing RB Rico Dowdle (one year, $2.8 million), drafting fifth-round TE Mitchell Evans   Disappointments: Re-signing CB Mike Jackson (two years, $10.5 million)   The Panthers chose the right time to move on from Thielen, who had been productive in Carolina before being dealt to Minnesota just before the season. He has been lost in the shuffle there. While the Panthers won't see the fourth-round pick that forms the bulk of the return for Thielen until 2027, getting out from what was owed to a player who has 47 receiving yards in Minnesota is an easy victory. Dowdle has been a revelation since moving into the starting lineup after Chuba Hubbard's injury, becoming one of a handful of players in NFL history to produce consecutive 200-yard scrimmage games. The former Cowboys back was averaging 3 yards per carry before the opportunity, so I'm not sure I would count on him playing like Jim Brown the rest of the way in a rotational role alongside Hubbard. But it's hard to argue that Carolina hasn't already gotten its $2.8 million worth out of the 27-year-old back. Most of Carolina's biggest moves are either tracking to be right around expectation (drafting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan) or have been impacted by unexpected injuries (signing defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton). Jackson was a pleasant surprise as a starter in 2024, and he hasn't been terrible this season, but most of the big plays against Carolina have come on throws against the former Seahawks cornerback. Overall, though, this has been a very reasonable offseason for the Panthers

      How would you have taken the guy who was picked ahead of us? That makes no sense.

      I am not denying that things were said. That wasn’t my point. But carry on this will go nowhere.    Oh snap, the post calling him a liar was like three posts before you jumped in.  what do you get, a post a page?
