Actually I'd prefer not to say for 3 reasons. The first being I don't know what the companies exact policy on posting in public forums as an unofficial representative of the company. Second I don't really care to be bombarded with PMs and emails about certain products. Mainly because I am not an official spokes person of the company (we have a guy that handles web advertisement, etc.) Third, at some point I'm probably going to say (and probably already have) something inflammatory and I don't want someone emailing my boss and getting me fired. I hope you can understand and respect my reasoning.

The Muslim will preach tolerance toward them, they will not show it to anyone. It is their plan to get the American people to be trained to have tolerance, that way we dont question what they are doing.

It's the actions of Muslim countries, communities and individuals that causes one to form negative opinions of them.  Not a target.

http://soldiersystems.net/2013/02/08/larue-tactical-issues-new-sales-policy-for-state-and-local-agencies/       I wish others in the firearms industry would follow suit.  While their statement is couched in not wanting to run afoul of the law, it seems like they're taking a stand.  What's good for the goose is good for the gander!

Hell, they use live targets, and we catch hell over a paper one!

I'll add that when you talk of firing in Vietnam you need to realize that soldiers very often didn't see an enemy due to the dense undergrowth.  The job was to repulse the enemy's ambush or attack with rapid and sustained fire.  Volume counted, not necessarily accuracy like it was one on one or on a range.        Most of the rounds didn't go over the jungle, they went into it as fast as possible until the other side stopped fiting or you ran out of ammo.

I had a FTF with a business owner that has a gun buster sign on the door. First it started with him having to meet me outside his restaurant and me buying him lunch at another restaurant within walking distance of his. He seemed a little thrown off that I would even offer that. During our conversation he pulled out a business card that was handed to one of his door guys. The card was an IOU for $20.00 redeemable when this person is legally able to carry in his resturant. It said " I was intending on spending money at your business but you do not allow legal gun carry. This is an IOU for $20 redeemable as soon as the gun buster sign comes down and I can legally carry in your business." It also left contact info for that person. I have never seen this before and apparently it got his attention. I think i might make up some of these cards. He said he contacted me because of an email I sent him letting him know that I would answer any questions he has about why I will not spend any money at his restaurant. Also during that discussion I found out that he has never even held a firearm, and knew a buisness owner that was killed by a robber with a gun. It was a long lunch that seemed very productive. He is meeting me at the range next Friday. He said he is rethinking the gun buster, especially after I asked him to point out where my gun was and he could not. I told him that most people are not OC'ing, they want it to go unnoticed. I will update after we meetup next week.

Traded for this old Ranger today.

Bummer....

Yeah, that suck, because I was so looking forward to paying .65/round plus shipping. Not.

  TNDOS would be wise to not use that one again for a long while...  Too many eyes watching them over the Yeager HCP squabble...  They start going after otherwise law abiding citizens who make a simple mistake with life time bans, they'll likely have the law changed in short order.   And lets be clear, this is a simple mistake...  There are a lot of members of this very board that don't totally understand all the TN firearm laws...  it's very easy to see somebody being honestly confused over when you can or can't have a loaded long gun with an HCP.   He could also argue he understood 39-17-1308a4 (otherwise lawful activity) to include protesting for his 2nd Amendment rights :)   And why is it the legislature bans long gun carry?  How does this guy pose a more serious risk to the public than an ar pistol or any other pistol?  Maybe it's time we start pushing the legislature to lift the ban on long gun carry?

My problem is, I don't ever get rid of anything.  I go through phases, but most importantly I appreciate all quality firearms, and just can not justify getting rid of anything.  I made a promise to myself years ago, to buy at minimum one gun per year.  Problem, I always exceed the at minimum requirement. 

  I hope they do, and it's with an ar15 with one of those high capacity assault clips, and it takes 29 bullets to take him out.

Mental illness can be an ugly thing to watch.

So I finally got my Archangel stock (Valentines Present) on my Ruger mini 30, and decided to get some pictures of it, my 1911 and my pack together. My sister is taking a photography class, so she did the pictures for the practice. I'm loving the new stock on the rifle. Anyways let me know what you think

When there cease to be Muslims that consider it honorable to kills anyone without their beliefs, then we can change the targets. Goodness, the ridiculousness goes on and on!

There seem to be some folks who feel that they have some sort of obligation to set the police "right" to the extent of doing so at the side of the road or on a sidewalk...I don't know if it's some natural mistrust of police or if it comes from past bad experience or a misguided belief that it proves that the civilian values his freedom and independence more than the next guy if he argues with or corrects the officer(s) when he has an encounter with a LEO that may not, in the opinion of the civilian, know the law correctly.   I do agree with the prior statement that in general, one should never give consent to search (and there are a good reasons why you shouldn't)...the police may search anyway but that's not the point.   I agree that LEOs make mistakes on the law and that should be taken up with supervisors later but you absolutely can be charged with a crime that doesn't exist or that the citizen thinks doesn't exist - if the police actually make a mistake and arrest you for something that actually isn't a crime or they conduct an illegal search or make other mistakes, that should be dealt with in a courtroom, not out on the street.   As far as I can tell, the OP's friend did nothing wrong...it appears he was carrying openly (or concealed very poorly)...the officers also did nothing wrong by stopping him since, without an HCP, it is illegal to carry a weapon in public (openly or concealed) in TN...as far as I know, police can and often will run the SN or a firearm (VIN numbers on a vehicle, etc.) and they have the legal right to do so...I can't see that the police did anything wrong here save for their mistaken instructions about carrying a round in the chamber and I hope the OP's friend takes it up with those officer's supervisors.   Other than that one mistake by the officers, this whole thread seems much ado about very little.

You dont consent to a search or consent to having the serial number run on anything you own, just like you dont talk to the cops when they arrest or accuse you of a crime. Its not about hiding something, its about protecting yourself.

Have you read his “manifesto”?   Let’s say everything he claims is true. Do good cops get railroaded? Yes they do, just like innocent people go to prison. Do they go on a rampage and start killing the children of the people that railroaded them? Of course they don’t.   Do we know what happened in that hearing? No, we have one side… his. Will we know? Probably, I assume the media is trying to get the transcripts. Will it change anything? No.   “The people who fear him” are civilians; cops don’t fear him anymore than any other murdering thug. They are hunting him and they will find him. And if they have to kill him they will be accused of murdering him.   As best I can tell this guy was a cop for about a year and a half? He attacked two cops because he claimed they called someone a N*****.  He does not deny that he attacked them and choked one of them before other Officers broke it up. Is that someone you think should be a cop on the street? He should have been gone right then. He follows that up by saying “What I should have done, was put a Winchester Ranger SXT 9mm 147 grain bullet in his skull and Officer XXXX’s skull. The Situation would have been resolved effective, immediately.”  Yes, LAPD certainly made an error in that case didn’t they?   Do you hate bad cops? Read his manifesto and you will see that this guy was one before that hearing or the event leading up to it ever took place.        

  IMHO the NRA could find a better face and voice than LaPierre.  He is not inspirational at all, I find him to be a very poor speaker who often comes off as unprepared.   As for supporting the NRA I think we all support what they do, probably not with dollar bills though.  Even as important as the NRA is,if it comes down to sending money to them or paying for groceries, gasoline and electricity I am pretty sure where the money is going to go.  In a perfect world there would be enough money in my wallet to all for all four items, sadly there is not.   And to be very clear I do not endorse giving up the fight.

I like my squirrel cooked with dumplings. The following recipe is killer and "those" folks who swear they don't like skwerls, will never know what hit them when they eat this stuff. You can sit back and snicker when it's all said and done! And have a "cold one" on me!   2-4 Squirrels (dead) and cleaned very well to insure all hair is cleaned away. 1 stalk of celery thinly sliced 2 carrots thinly sliced 1 can Cream of Celery soup 1 can of Cream of Chicken soup 1 can of Chicken Broth Water 10-12 cups (enough to completely cover squirrels. adjust as needed) 1 table spoon ground sage 2 packs of frozen dumplings (you can also make your own or use canned biscuits) Salt and Pepper to taste   1. Place chicken broth, squirrels, water and sage into a 4 quart or larger pot. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium/low cover and allow to simmer for about 45 minute to an hour or until the squirrels are tender. 2. When squirrels are tender, remove squirrels and allow to cool. Save contents of pot. 3. While the squirrels are cooling, add diced celery, carrots and both cans of soup to the pot. Allow to gently simmer uncovered. 4. When the squirrels are cool enough to handle, pull all meat from the bones. Return the meat to the pot and chunk the bones and shot into the trask can, unless you collect weird stuff of course.. 5. Bring contents of pot to a boil. 6. Using homemade dumplings (my preference, good recipes on the web) Canned Biscuits or Frozen Dumplings, Drop dumplings into boiling broth and cook until done. If using canned biscuits, pinch off bits of biscuits and drop into broth. Homemade dumplings can be rolled out very thin, cut into strips and dropped into the broth, or dropped by the spoonfull. When all dumplings are in the pot, reduce heat to medium and cook for about 15 mins, stirring occasionaly to avoid stick. Serve, salt and pepper to taste.   This is one of my favorite "Deer camp" recipes cooked over an open fire. It is also great cooked at home in a civilized kitchen! Ya'll please enjoy!   Dave S

He was brought down because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants.......even if she was hot :koolaid:

Note to self… If you work around some of the best investigators in the world; don’t do stuff that will cause you to lose your job and hope no one finds out.   From what I have read of Petraeus I doubt he blames anyone but himself.  

get yourself one of these

I'd suffer more trauma hitting a innocent dog with my truck than if I shot this sorry animal that needs to be put out of our misery.

I think a lot of gun owners had their wool blinders on and saw BHO as no big threat to the 2A. There's no denying the left's position on guns now, and I hope a lot of eyes have been opened as a result. I'm not saying that I'm counting on that, but I can still hope.

My Constitutional Rights are inalienable & not subject to sways in public/popular opinion. Are yours?

  What you must understand is gun owners have nothing to gain in the never ending game of "compromise". We will lose every time.   Giving up one thing for the sake of another is not good.  Eventually you will have nothing.   The way this country works now is just about anyone can make some kind of complaint and somebody else has to give something up to shut them up.  That is not right.

NO MORE! My 2nd Amendment rights are not open for compromise.  No more talk, what part of no don't they understand. Washington needs an enema to flush the crap out. This whole bunch needs to go.

Sheep asks Caster: Is that a gun?!? Caster: uhh, yeah... Sheep: Why are you carrying a gun?!? Caster: It's against my religion to fight. Besides, Recoil is much easier to manage than blunt force trauma to my fists and or face. Sheep: ......blank stare Caster: ......sly grin...walks away casually, possibly whistling a Black Sabbath tune.

If you feel this way, why is a President sitting in the White House who has admitted he has the power to sentence any American citizen (whether inside the US or 1,000's of miles from any battlefield) to death with no review or oversight, and has ordered the death of at least 3 US citizens.   A lot of us are guilty of picking and choosing which liberties of other people we're fine with the government stomping all over...  I agree we need to take a hard line, but it needs to be a hard line including our own sacred cows that violate the Constitution.    

I just ordered some seeds. I'm looking forward to planting this year. I recently got a tractor and some implements, and I can't wait to smell the fresh dirt being plowed. I'll start small this year, and I have a lot to learn.

Here is another recent thread asking same  - http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/59466-emergency-radio/

It is obvious they do. Why else would they be riding around, shooting up random vehicles in hopes of killing this guy?   I am not attempting to take up for this guy. He has done wrong, and should be found and punished to the full extent of the law. From what I've seen so far, however, it looks to me like he fit right in with the LAPD. I doubt all of the facts of the incident which drove him to this will ever be brought to light.

I've never had a comment made about having a weapon, but I'd probably respond that I've got too old to run or fight.

Imagine the pants full of crap when that thing breaks glass and the suspect thinks they've been shot !

No He has not, He is going state to state, on our tax dollars, preaching His stuff. Wait and see, He will get enough states on His side, then push it again at the FED level. He will Say "See X number of states agree with me, we should have this for the whole country".

havent tried this but going to soak 2-3 in buttermilk for 12+ hrs. salt and pepper a little hot spice and about 2 hrs in some worcestershire  sauce wrap in bacon and do them on the grill. did a rabbit this way a few weeks ago a buddy and i ate the whole thing. he is a picky eater

You just made that shotgun 10 times more deadly! I bet it gets up off the tabnle and starts killing people at random now! j/k Cool. First time I ever seen a shotgun that pimp'd out! :up:

You open carry a LCP? I thought the whole point of that design was for concealment. Seems as if you're going to open carry you might as well carry something with a larger round and more capacity.

Spoke with one today. Said they can't get anything to sell and the rent and light bills don't stop. Shame though, I sure hope they survive.

Letter sent. Contents included below. Feel free to use.   Dear Senator  XXXXXXXXX Due to recent events in the aftermath of the horrific shooting in Newtown, Ct, I feel I must write to vigorously defend my rights. I am one of tens of millions of law-abiding firearm owners in the United States, and I feel that my rights are now under attack from the media and politicians alike. The knee-jerk reaction from many has been to call for more gun control. To ban certain types of firearms. This is misguided and dangerous. What the government should be focusing on is how to help families with individuals that have mental heath issues and keeping criminals and repeat offenders off of the street. For every Adam Lanzaa, or Jared Loughner, there are tens of millions of firearm owners who are smart and use firearms in a responsible manner. The FBI’s own crime statistics show that violent crime has been steadily decreasing for the past 40 years and violent gun-related crimes have also been steadily decreasing. More crimes are committed with knives or other means than guns. So do we now also need to ban knives and baseball bats? The 1994 Clinton AWB did little to nothing to curb or stop mass shootings. The Columbine incident is a perfect example. A criminal does not care about laws and where they have a willingness to do harm; they will find a way, be it with a firearm or other means. Indeed, this has been a failure for criminal and mental health systems across the United States. Senator Dianne Feinstein’s newly proposed 2013 AWB is nothing short of an all out attack on liberty, freedom, and our God-given Constitutional rights. If Congress adopts this legislation, the federal government would be specifically targeting millions of law-abiding gun owners who have never broken any laws. This is wrong. As one of those law-abiding gun owners, we would be subjected to erroneous and invasive imperious laws that the criminals of society would simply ignore. Again, this is wrong. It would simply be a very bad piece of legislation that would have legal ramifications for decades. The state of Connecticut already has a sort of AWB in place, and it did not stop this crime. If you enact another 100 gun laws it will not stop gun crime. Adam Lanzaa tried to purchase a firearm and was turned down. The system did what it was supposed to. I am a loving husband and father. I am also an honorably discharged veteran of the United States Air Force. I am a patriot and I love my country. Senator Feinstein’s proposal has nothing to do with a solution to the terrible events in Newtown, or Colorado, or Arizona, and has everything to do with the ultimate attempt by the government to control and subvert the population. We, the voting public and lawful gun owners would see this as Congress neglecting its duty to uphold the Constitution. It would be criminal and I will not comply. I cannot have the luxury of a private security detail to protect myself and my family like so many in government do. Lastly, it is utterly laughable for the President, Attorney General and anyone in Congress to talk about more gun control, when dubious operations like “Fast & Furious” are perpetrated by the federal government and wind up killing innocent people.   Sincerely, XXXXXXXXXXXXX

TN puts the gun in the hands of the officer for officer safety, I doubt any judge will say that alone was probable cause to run the guns numbers which may have only been brought into plan view in the intrest of officer safety during a supossedly  unrelated stop. Carrying the gun is a crime, but with a HCP I'm clearly legally carrying and they may run that HCP # all they want to verify it's validity, but with no database of legal gun ownership there is no reason to run mine unless they have PC to believe that mine is stolen. The police don't generally like it but I've yet to have one push the issue and run my numbers.   Running the numbers turns handling my gun for the officers safety into a search, which without my consent, a warrant, or PC would be unconstitutional.

    This is a troubling statement to me, and made by an LEO or a retired LEO by the moniker below his name.  Why is the decision of a citizen of this country to decide to announce his desire to apply a constitutional right to a situation have "something to hide"?.  It may seem a trivial matter, but to me, running the serial number of a firearm for no apparent reason sits right up there with "you don't mind if I search your car do you?" which is used a lot by LEO's when they have no real reason and a legal search is not possible.  If the person responds with, "I don't submit to searches of my personal property without due cause."  suddenly they  have "something to hide"?  Every time an LEO coerces a citizen by subversion, into something they know is unconstitutional, they are pushing us a little further away from freedom and closer to "I need to see your papers!"

Actually, after looking at the video, looks like she vote more like 6-8 times. Just using other peoples names. Nothing wrong with that now, is there?   Did you watch the short video of Dr. Benjamin Carson speaking at the CDC(?) Prayer breakfast? Definitely some good speaking. And O's impassive little face as the Dr. spoke.

Picked up one box .223 ammo tonight at WM. They had 2 boxes,one other guy waiting, we split the 2.   Anybody ever heard of Tullammo Braxxmax? $16.97 a box .......of 50.   Seen the most ammount of ammo at wal-mart since this nonsense began.   Well, my target ammo is slowly becoming replenished. Little by little, bit by bit.
