Nice dogs there. If she wants tomatoes.... better give her tomatoes.
The AR in the foreground; what kind of lower is that, the mag well looks 'different'
Do you shoot the FAL with the scope mounted that close? or is that just a trial fit ?

The first one in the picture is an AR-15, legally configured for California, and the rifle closest to the rottie is an IMBEL, which is basically an FN-FAL. The Brazilians purchased the blue prints from FN and reproduced the rifle. That particular rifle in the picture is a heavy barrel version, which makes it REAL heavy, but it's accurate out to about 600 yards. It's a .308, but because the damn thing is so heavy you can punch holes all day and it won't hurt your shoulder..

This is what it looks like now...:D

Just so people understand this, in Commiefornia, when they did OUR ban, they banned the NAMES on the lower receivers, NOT the rifle. So, for example the AR-15 has a DPMS upper, but since the DPMS lower is on the banned list, the lower on my rifle is a Double Star, which is not listed. The IMBEL was NEVER listed so I'm good. There are other considerations, 10 round max and a locking magazine, which we're worked around.

BTW - I'm REALLY lucky, my pooches are real sweet hearts, unless you try to get into the backyard, and I get hostile. Their attitude is a direct correlation of mine, which I believe is key.....:applause_

The scope is mounted farther back on the Imbel because the mag on the Imbel is locked in, so I have to load the rifle through the top. I've gotten use to it since I shoot both rifles when I'm out plinking... :D

Oohh, sniper dogs! They're nice-looking animals.

We can't give our dogs rifles. They'd spend all day on the rooftop gunning for the neighbor's cats.

Thanks Avalon. I could have the crappiest day I've ever had, and I come home to these two and my troubles simply fade away, and to Saul, if you read the post I wasn't pissed, I was actually laughing. I mean have you ever seen a dog, let a lone a rottie, grab tomatoes off of a plant and eat them? It was hilarious.... It didn't bother me in the slightest, I just thought other members would get a kick out of it....:wink:

I used to have a black lab named Mick when I was a kid that would eat saskatoon berries right off the tree like he was a bear or something. We gave him some by hand and he must have gotten a taste for them. It was pretty funny watching him forage for berries.

I can not imagine if I had taken a picture of these rifles and her dog in the front yard, they would have escalated things faster. I am so glad I still own property in the country and have the brother of my wifes dog is out there standing guard and doing his thing.
I can not wait to watch the *&Ck*n% sobin neighbors starve when TSHITF.
I will have a BBQ the day they gasp for their last breath of air as they lay skin and bone only.
oh and the local chief of police <me spitting on the ground> is making every attempt to label any dog he can as vicious, and have them put down. Talked with the local veterinarian, and they said they have had a huge amount of dogs to be put down, the quarantine them and they say they are defiantly not dangerous, just the chief <me spitting on the ground> does not want to see them when he kicks your door in and puts his foot on your throat and makes you beg for your life. (I don't beg for the record)
Dogs are family, putting down a friend for a BS reason is just out of line...way the hell out of line.
A good dog will die for you, I know I have had a dog get between me and a 2100 pound bull, I have seen dogs get between their people and a mad hog, I have seen dogs take it to the very end for their people. It is sad when you have your wife holding a loyal to the death friend in her arms while they die because some BS out of your control.
In the end animals are quite possibly better than people.

yes, I am a bit angry

Damm bro...that is awful. Your neighbor will get what's coming one way or another. I think you have more self restraint than I do since I would probably bash the guy's skull in if they pulled something like that. Do you care to elaborate on what they did exactly?

I would second that as well.

Check out this true story:

"In 1924, Hachikō was brought to Tokyo by his owner, Hidesamurō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo. During his owner's life, Hachikō saw him off from the front door and greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Uyeno didn't return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered a stroke at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station where his friend was waiting.

Hachiko was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. After time, Hachi apparently realized that Professor Uyeno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachiko waited for Uyeno to return. And each day he didn't see his friend among the commuters at the station.

The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachiko attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachi and Professor Uyeno together each day. Realizing that Hachiko waited in vigil for his dead master, their hearts were touched. They brought Hachiko treats and food to nourish him during his wait.

This continued for 10 years, with Hachikō appearing only in the evening time, precisely when the train was due at the station."

They are going to make the story into a movie called: Hachiko: A Dog's Story

GotUR6:
Sounds like a favor from the police chief to your neighbor, maybe a brother in law type of deal. . If no papers were filed, i would just ignore it.

Do you have liability insurance on your house?
