Guy, I have not kept up to date with the state run by Chicago democrats for a while and it's a breath of fresh air to see that Illinois is taking back itself from Chicago politics! Even though it is passed, it will be a while till it even will come to fruition, sadly if at all. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/07/17/Chicago-Pols-Strengthen-Gun-Ban-Ahead-of-New-Concealed-Carry-law I lived in Hammond, Indiana and lived 3 blocks from a Chicago suburb at the age of 18. I was allowed in Indiana to carry a gun (which oddly enough wasn't allowed to purchase one at that age, but I digress) and it is great to see Illinois doing the same now if they don't screw it up which too many restrictions. Chicago will definitely be a better city for it. Thank you Guy, for bringing it to my attention!

I disagree. Look at DC. Look at Chicago. There is no freedom of gun ownership there. You cannot carry a gun there. You have a limit on the number of guns that can be owned. What type of guns. That, my friends, is taking away people's freedom slowly and it doesn't start by just banning or taking them away at one time. They do it slowly and methodically so no one causes that big of a stink because it's just something little. A little over time becomes big. Does anyone else find it odd that the highest crime and murder rates are the population with the strictest gun laws?

When I am teaching and instructing self defense classes, my first rule is to run from danger. I highly think telling his friend some "creepy a$$ cracker" was following him then getting into an altercation with him counts as "fighting as need be". A thug confronts....someone scared for their safety runs unless cornered. TM wasn't cornered and could have just ran.

We never will know. We never really know for sure what his motives were. We don't know Zimmermans true intention. I see a bad situation where both parties weren't truly innocent and circumstances escalated quickly and snowballed from there. Here is my best way I summed it up to some buddies before GZ was even convicted..... I think you have an over zealous neighborhood watch member and a high thug punk and unfortunately the one with the gun won

Here's facts-TM was 17, not 12 like the medias pictures were showing constantly. TM was suspended from school for drugs and that's why he was down their visiting his Dad. TM had THC in his system at time of death. His friend described to Pierce Morgan how they fight where their from and TM wouldn't hesitate to get into a fight if need be. Far from the normal teenager I know....

I love her :) She goes with me to work, has a bed in my office, LOVES to ride in the truck, and is daddy's little girl. I call her my party pug or my pig pug lol She stays locked in my truck with the A/C blasting if I have to go in somewhere (like to eat or to a place that doesn't allow dogs) but she goes in with me to lowes, walmart, the bank, half of my commercial accounts that I've dealt with for 15 yrs and I have to go see. She stands on the back of my tool box when I go fuel up.....she even gets her lunch from the drive thru a lot. The dog is spoiled rotten but is my best listener and always loves me unconditionally.

I have a half of a drum of muratic that's been in the shop about 2 years or so old, and got me thinking how long of a shelf life muratic carries?

Thanks Craig. That's what I had thought but it's been out of the sun but in a shop that isn't heated or cooled so it can get hot and cold in the shop. I don't use it very much either, but my chem distributor messed up about 2 years ago when I ordered 5 gallons and they sent me 55 gallon full drum. They said it wasn't worth the hassle so just billed me for the 5 gallons. Lately, when I need a gallon, I just stop in and get one for the job we are working on but thought I probably need to keep a 5ver on the truck. Didnt know if it was still good but it probably still is I guess.

I have never used anything that cleaned this easy. It's a buffered acid IIRC. I have tried ox, muratic, etc, but nothing was this simple and such good results

Pump up sprayer and a water hose....

If I did, I would be the fastest and best painter in the south!! That pic was taken 3 min after first application.....

Lol Beth, I'm not. I was told some guys are using burnt motor oil or linseed. I have no clue what is good and bad and halfway tempted just to leave it bare....

Not a woodie, so I don't have anything. So linseed or bare?

I wasn't. You have any thoughts on the linseed oil or burnt motor oil? I don't want to put something that covers up the screw heads cause it would make it a pain when having to replace the boards. I think I would rather leave it untreated than put a liner on it cause I can replace the boards every couple years.

The herculiner peeled up on my bare naked and properly prepped and applied service bed is what I was wanting to say

I didn't like the herculiner stuff on the metal bed of my service bed. Fixing to have it sandblasted off and line-x put on. I am seriously thinking about putting just burnt motor oil on it. Someone also suggested linseed oil but I don't know anything about that. I don't want anything that will chip or peel up.
