My daughter age 39 and a mother of four has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. She's seen the docs (got a second opinion) and the oncologist and is being set up for treatment of her particular type of cancer. Without going into to much detail I am asking that for those of you that pray may include Sarah in your prayers. She' a good daughter, wife and mother and she can use all the help she can get. Thanks in advance to all of you that may take the time.16 points

Guys I’m considering opening up one of my lower range areas to TGO. This would be a slow walked, cautious, ground level operation as I am just one man and taking on the prep work of the site (mowing, trimming, general clearing and parking arrangements) will take me time if I do this. Absolutely I will start with a case by case, appointment only basis that works for my schedule and availability. This is my private property, so I will always be in attendance & a safety waiver with common sense regulation would have to be a thing. I understand however that many of my friends here live in the city and have no place to really shoot when they want/what they want. I am 8 miles from Knoxville, Clinton, and Oak Ridge. If anyone wants to help me test out this idea, contribute to site prep if necessary, flesh out logistics- just pm me. Maybe we can help bring our little community together more. One small shoot at a time. Last thing, this is my short-range area, but we can see perhaps how this works out. No promises, but hope springs eternal. In Liberty, Stormborn10 points

I spent two fantastic weeks in the Bahamas living on a 35’ boat with friends and then sailed it over to Hilton Head. The boat’s name was Garufa and the crossing was an adventure.10 points

Her enzymes are below 1700 now. They were 3400ish. They should be 10-20, but they are much better. Liver inflammation has started to decline. Her kidneys are out of the danger zone and approaching normal. She started taking phosphorus supplements today, but other than that she's just getting her regular medications. Whatever made her immune system attacked her liver has apparently stopped and everything is trending back to normal. I'm not a religious person, though my Wife is...I really appreciate everyone's prayers. It means a lot. She was not expected to survive and we were told as much. My Wife is doing much better and feels like she can breathe however I'm probably going to be sleeping alone for at least a week. I get a bit unusual when I sleep after she has issues. It's always after though. Drinking always helped, but I have all but stopped that. Thank you everyone.9 points

Same for me, but not AOL. I wanted a Star Wars handle back in the early days of the Interwebz, but of course all the common characters were taken and I didn't want to be BobaFett3728 or Vader7561. I landed on monkeylizard as the first obscure SW thing I could find that wasn't already taken. It's what Jabba the Hutt's pet thing is.9 points

The Rock Band RUSH is one of my favorites, and they have a song called The Analog Kid. I'm an IT Engineer, working with computers every day. On that same album is a song named Digital Man, and you would think with my profession I would identify more with that song. However, even tho I work on Nerdy stuff, I'm definitely not a Nerd. I don't like video games, and once work is done, I turn of the tech. I'm into outdoor stuff, and am more happy when there is no electricity nearby. So, Analog Kid fits better9 points

I never go anywhere unarmed and I'm sure most folks here are the same way. If I am in a store and someone begins shooting people I would move towards the shooter and if at all possible I would try my best to shoot the shooter before he could get to me. If I was not going to use my weapon to stop a bad guy why would I bother to carry it? How many folks here feel the same way?9 points

This is a nice JM Marlin model 336 R.C. made in 1967 so no cross bolt safety. It is chambered in .30-30. The wood is in very good shape and the bluing is still strong. The bore is shiny, and the rifling looks sharp. It has had a sling stud added to the stock and there is one on the fore end band. It is missing the front sight hood. It currently has a Williams Peep sight attached. I am asking $800 $750 without the peep sight. If you want the peep sight, $850. $800 Located in Nashville, for sale to folks 21 and older who can legally own a firearm. TN license or HCP flash. More photos upon request.8 points

My hair went gray in my mid 30s. Its a family trait. When my son's were young, I spent 12 years as a Boy Scout Leader. During that time I took an advanced Scoutmaster training course called Wood Badge where I was assigned to the Fox Patrol. It took my fellow scouters all of about 30 seconds to dub me "The Gray Fox". The nickname just sorta stuck.8 points

And the more media attention each incident receives only adds fuel to the fire. In most cases the shooter wants their 15 min even if its their last .8 points

I picked up my Model 81 in .35 Remington today from my FFL. I would have had it sooner, but I’m STILL waiting on a GB seller to ship my Marlin 1894 44mag. It’s been 3 weeks. But I digress. The Remington is in very good condition for an 86 year old rifle. Based on the serial number all over every part, it is from 1937. I believe it was sent back to Remington in October of 41 based on the E3K date code stamped on the barrel shroud. The barrel shroud has a nice brown patina. The receiver has much of its bluing remaining. It is not marked with a “B” or “C” but there is very nice hand checkering of the stock and forearm. It has a grip cap on the pistol grip which I was usually on the D grade or higher. I wonder if the rifle was sent back to Remington in 41 to get the upgrades to the wood. it has a period Marbles peep sight and folding rear sight. I took the receiver completely apart today to give it a really good cleaning. I need to get the proper tool to disassemble the barrel. It is a well-built rifle. I can’t wait to get it out to the farm to shoot. I cleaned up the furniture a bit with denatured alcohol. Like all my other rifles, I will come back with a hand rubbed linseed oil finish. Unfortunately, I could not find my small container of Winchester Stock Oil. I guess I need to buy more.7 points

If I'm not allowed to feel safe enough to leave My belongings in MY car, on MY property, they thugs shouldn't be allowed to feel safe not to get shot at. Judge me if you like, but I worked hard for my stuff and I do believe it's worth more than any thief's life.7 points

So while I’m waiting on my new FN stainless hi power to finally arrive from the land of “back-order”, I picked up a cheap toy to amuse myself and study. I am reminded of someone I once knew whose entire gun collection was based solely on initial price point but in this case the gamble really paid off! I stood amazed as I examined and shot this for the first time in between sighting in my “higher dollar acquisitions” of the last few weeks. The all stainless steel SAR 2000 is a Turkish clone of the CZ 75 with a few influences from Tanfoglio. In addition, (and I’m watching for the lightning strikes here) I feel it really channels JMB’s hi power. There I said it. Beyond this, I can’t ****ing believe how well it fits the hand. It’s a thick grip with tactile soft rubber panels and an unbelievable backbone that arches into the palm of my medium sized hands like the perfect spoon. Being all stainless the 9mm recoil is laughable and I was expecting to fell more of the weight but with that incredible hand fitment, it just feels more like a natural hand extension. I also was expecting to see some signs of a break-in period but even with varying steel cased and very questionable loose rounds from my non-insulated storage areas- it just won’t FTF or demonstrate less than perfect operation. Did I mention that I bought this NIB from locked&loaded for $379 tax free? Sometimes—just sometimes backorders aren’t so bad. Sights are fantastic btw & CZ75B mags fit which boost you from 17 round to 19 round if you get the competition editions. It runs like a race gun so why not?7 points

I worry it’s not gonna stop. The only thing between peace and anarchy is the moral compass of the citizens. Anyone at any time can perpetrate a massacre like this. Be it with a gun, a knife, a car, a bomb or a plane, it is just “will I or won’t I” decide to kill a bunch of people before I die. We are a nation living in a fear of our own making.7 points

Hopefully we all realize that this day is set aside to remember and honor the ultimate sacrifice that has been paid by so very many on behalf of our country. I just heard this song recently. The band is Sabaton. They are a Swedish heavy metal band, very talented, and about all they sing about is history, especially historical battles. When I heard it the other day while driving I just about had to pull over. Let us never forget the sacrifice of not only those who have gone before us, but those who have gone for us. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Li_j5Y8PjJs&feature=share6 points

Being a bit long in the tooth my carry before Glocks became fashionable was a 1911. I still carry it from time to time. Back then as now I was always known to be a quick witted, maybe a little obnoxious, outspoken sarcastic SOB. Spending 26 years in the military helped me perfect these traits. I was called a lot of names back in those days as you can imagine and gotta say I earned most of them. The missus on the other hand saw right thru all that almost immediately. Women are so perceptive. Anyway after the movie came out in 2008 most of my friends said "holy crap dude" that's you! While not exactly like Walt we could have been brothers.6 points

I'm fond of Bersa pistols and own several different models. My old shooting partner that passed away a few years back said one day that I was Bersa guy while we were at the range and it stuck and all I did was remove the space and it became Bersaguy !6 points

I like Chuck Taylors. Don’t wear them much anymore because old man feet don’t like shoes with zero support, but I got one pair I still break out occasionally. When I first joined I actually used Chuck Taylor, but then I discovered there was a fairly well known firearms trainer by that name so I changed it.6 points

There are some people coming here for a handout, but it's so few of them that it's intellectually dishonest and lazy to lump them together. Similarly, vilifying all illegal immigrants as drug mules and child sex traffickers is just a tool to dehumanize the whole group, so you'll hate them and think of them as the boogeyman. There's tons of good reasons to stop all illegal immigration. I just wish folks would remember that regardless of how people got here, they are human beings and most mean you no harm. They're just trying to make a better life for themselves. Who wouldn't do the same thing if you couldn't feed your family where you live?6 points
