To bring this thread to a close, he was put to rest today.  A *huge* amount of thanks and credit to both the local Masonic Lodge and the Campbell County Honor Guard. The Lodge conducted the Masonic last-rites for him last night and the Campbell County Honor Guard saw to full military honors at his burial this morning.  

    I don't think you understand the argument. Considering the sacrifice Jesus made I think he expects nothing less than full devotion from people, not treating him as a hedged bet or an insurance policy. 

There are many on this very forum who think it will never happen in Tennessee or nationally and they are sadly mistaken.   They thought Obama would never, ever be reelected.   They think no Democrat would ever jeopardize their position to vote on gun control.   Colorado is gone following the precedent New York set.     I'm here to tell you we have a long, long road ahead that will not end well if you cherish your rights.

  Seems like we're on the same boat here. 

I was always a proponent of Don't Ask Don't Tell. If you wanted to search my car, get a warrant.

  Remember NJ there as 49th when Christie runs. He's said he thinks NJ's gun laws are "about right".   - OS

I'm gonna go with "follow the money."  I have been following this since Kroger started the campaign a couple of years ago.  Such an absolutely silly law.  I'm tired of hearing the argument that this will hurt mom & pop stores.  Of course it will, but that is no justification at all.  The consumers are who should be catered to, not business.  We're no better than those liberal commies in the slave states who try to outlaw Walmart because they offer low prices and no union.  I'm ashamed of Tennessee on this one.

At the end of the tax year, the IRS office sent an inspector to audit the books of a local hospital. While the IRS agent was checking the books, he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, I notice you buy a lot of bandages.  What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too little left to be of any use?"   "Good question," noted the CFO. "We save them up and send them back to the bandage company and every once in a while, they send us a free roll." "Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer.  But on he went, in his obnoxious way.   "What about all these plaster purchases?  What do you do with what's left over after setting a cast on a patient?"   "Ah, yes," replied the CFO, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We save it and send it back to the manufacturer and every so often they will send us a free bag of plaster." "I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all CFO.   "Well," he went on, "What do you do with all the remains from the circumcision surgeries?" "Here, too, we do not waste," answered the CFO. "We save all the little foreskins and send them to the IRS office, and about once a year they send us a complete prick."     (No offense to any IRS auditors out there  :D )

  just because I am paranoid does not mean they aren't out to get me.

if you carry a gun in you ca then shut the heck up.  It is no one else's business, and it only carries a downside if found out.   If someone axes me if I have a gun in my truck I tell the truth.  "No".  Of course I don't add that there are two.

  "There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws." - Dr. Floyd Ferris in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged

I think lawsuits will pop up every time someone gets fired now. The plaintiff will claim they were fired for having a gun in their car. This is going to cost the taxpayers of Tennessee millions of dollars in litigation.   It was fine before and now that this has passed it changes nothing. A worker will still be fired for having a gun in their car the only difference is now the employer won't say that is why they were fired.   Problem was people couldn't keep their mouth shut about having a gun in their car. And if they think they can now openly say they have a gun in their car, when they couldn't before, without ramifications they are probably going to to have a big surprize.   I am glad you guys got what you wanted but I don't see how it improved it from what it was before.   Dolomite

They can keep them for those prices. People are retarded.

Looks like the the bill in scheduled for the full House Criminal Justice Committee for Wednesday the 20th.

Tennessee is on high moral grounds when it comes to sins.Always has. That said, this bill did not make it because someone's pocket got lined. That's pretty obvious.

Sorry, didn't realize I was bragging. Just happy to get any kind of .22 ammo. Not much to be had out there. All three of my .22's feed it just fine. This also means I get to head out to my dad's property  with my 10 and 13 year old sons and do some plinking. Thats going to do us quite a few weekends. What more could a father ask for? Spending some good quality time with his sons out on the range plinking bottles and can. And, at the end of the day,not much money out of my pocket to do it with. So yes, I guess I am bragging. Matter of fact, bragging pretty hard.

EXACTLY!  Kool Aid consumption is not solely a left-wing activity.  When people are only looking for one explanation, they are going to exercise selective observation and are sure to find exactly what they are looking for even if it's totally absurd or if their few cherry picked "facts" are contradicted by piles of evidence.  If people want to know who is responsible for this ammunition shortage, many can take a look in the mirror and think about their panicked stockpile of ammo piled up in the garage or listed on GunBroker for 3-4 times the retail cost.   This particular topic is interesting to me.  On one hand, gun owners talk about the vital importance of practicing with their firearms, but when the federal law enforcement agencies purchase ammunition to practice with, people flip out and believe a takeover is in the works.  Or let's assume they are preparing for civil unrest and civil unrest did happen.  My strong suspicion is that many people actually have very selective concerns based on who would be carrying out the unrest.  Think for a second and be honest with yourself.  If the Occupy protests had turned into civil unrest or if the LA riots happened again, would you: 1) expect the government to do nothing to stop it, and/or 2) be upset if the government used violence to put down the unrest?  My point here is that I am very skeptical that the Alex Jones crowd is really all that concerned about civil liberties, but is really only concerned about civil liberties for specific groups that fit their own definition of who *should* be protected by the Constitution.   Also, on this "no hesitation" target issue, unless something has changed there is no evidence that the government purchased targets with pregnant women on them.  Based on my reading of the Alex Jones story, the government purchased targets from a company that also happens to sell the "no hesitation" targets people are wringing their hands over.  At no point has anyone been able to confirm whether the government has purchased any of those targets.  This is the kind of "journalism" Alex Jones practices.  He takes one piece of information, finds some other random possibly related piece of information, and makes a huge leap in logic that is ALWAYS grounded in his conspiratorial mindset.  For him, everything is a conspiracy because there simply is no other option in his mind.  

You should list those in the classifieds for like $1200.

All that white privelege didn't get Romney elected, nor McCain...nor Hillary, and she is married to a black man!

I wish everyone had something like a 1" or 2" sticker that we could leave stuck next to their sign that said "You won't get my $" They would probably get tired of scraping them off their window and begin to realize how much money they were losing!

We need a ban on assault politicians.

    Yup, if I thought the Big Guy would honor a hedged bet, might claim to be a Christian myself. Also a Muslim, Jew, Hindu, etc etc, just to cover all the bases.   - OS

As a few of you know I'm addicted to Berettas & have been on the lookout for an Inox (stainless) model Beretta 92FS in my price range for years without any luck. I spotted this one a few days ago and had to grab it! She's a beauty & in new condition with all stainless controls & included the factory hard case, two 15 round mags, and a set of walnut grips with Beretta emblems. I took the walnut grips off and replaced them with a set of aluminum grips, but may put them on another pistol.

This gives me some good ideas, I love to play chess

So I picked up a Ruger SR556 on March 8. When I got home I realized ther 'quick deploy' sights weren't in the box. So I call Ruger and wait about 10mins on hold, explain the situation. The man asks for the serial number and says the sights are back ordered 2 weeks but thy would mail when they arrived. No more questions asked. Well on Wednesday the 13th my wife says a package came from New Hampshire. Sure enough a set of brand new sights. Just thought that was good service!

That's pretty normal for an out of the box holster. It can scuff the finish on your slide and cause a little holster wear if its bad enough. You should be able to see where its dragging and take a file to the inside to relieve a little material in the area making contact. Also try loosening the retention screws a little and see if that helps. If you decide that you don't like that holster, for my money Master Tac makes the best kydex holster out there right now. Just my opinion though.

Sorry that no was for Jonnin. They are laser etched. From some reading I have heard that the grey scotch brite will remove them with a swiftness and then just use the green one to blend everything.

    i read this and had a chuckle that seemed a little distant from humanity... needless to say... that %*^& was funny!!!!

Nobody knows that you're carrying a firearm.

I see the nanny-state is alive and well in TN.

the pope is a political leader, he just went to seminary instead of majoring in Political Science at some state school.   For Catholics such as myself he is totally irrelevant, his opinion means nothing.  The church ran me off with its draconian views and rules.   And the line about believing in God not hurting anything but not believing seals one's doom if it is all true cracks me up. Believing in  space aliens is more believable.

that is nuts! also kieefer, i love the avatar man

A little more info for comparison purposes. SN Snub Nose (LCR or Mdl 36) DW = Dan Wesson 6" HR = Handi Rifle 18.5"   .357 Magnum, 158g SWC, 6 grain of Unique: DW = 1026 fps  HR = 1278 fps.   .38 Special 128g LRN, 4.3g Bullseye: SN = 776  DW = 880 HR = 1108   And some factory ammo:   .357 Magnum Fiocchi 158g XTP  SN = 1033 DW = 1171  HR = 1496   VS. Hornady 158g XTP: DW = 1265 HR = 1655 (Yes the Hornady brand is considerably hotter.)   I've not shot my Rossi 16" much with the chronograph, but the velocities I've checked were less than 50 fps below the 18.5" H&R.   Generally I gain about 25% - 30% in the rifle vs. the 6" revolver. And I've yet to have any significant leading problems using Alox, with or without JPW. YMMV

Great setup. I would like pelican case for my ar15 and remington 700. I can't find any precut to fit. Did this case come precut? If not how did you cut it?

And the jack wads who proceeded them. Screw both parties. I can't wait for the day that people stop voting for these fools every four years in the popularity contest that we call elections. They mean the American people no good. My feelings about radio and tv personalities are even stronger. Those misleading mf'ers should be hung.

  Buy it!!!!

How about a Rat on a Stick Hat? Tie a rat to a string dangling from a stick mounted on a hat. Sneak up an put it on a zombie and enjoy hours of fun.

I'm aware of the supposed facts that are out there. They have all been debunked. I could debunk all those points once again, but I don't suppose it would do any good since folks are going to believe what they want to believe. I do find it humorous when folks talk about others drinking the Kool Aid when all they're doing is exchanging fruit punch flavor for kiwi-strawberry.

  Ok, think about it, is there any democratic liberal women that are attractive?  :shake:   I believe it's part of the reason why they vomit so many lies and mis-truths, it's their dying need to gain some from of attention because all these hags that I've seen could turn Medusa into stone.   Di-fi reminds me of a old teacher I had that hated everything anyone did, smelled and you cringed when she raised her voice, which was often. Personally, the ugliest women that came to mind for me was DebbieWasserrmanShultzs, now that human is ugly.   On a happier note, Ted Cruz is awesome.  :usa: More Republicans need to learn from this fellow.  :up:   This from the WeaselZippers blogger; In one corner we have Ted Cruz, a brilliant Harvard educated Constitutional lawyer who has authored more than 80 Supreme Court briefs and presented more than 40 oral arguments, including nine before the Supreme Court itself, he also served as law clerk for Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist. In the other we have Dianne Feinstein, who has been in the Senate for decades and could fit her knowledge of the Constitution on the tip of a pin.  :rofl: 

It seems like the Ruger SR9c is my best choice right now. I really like the Taurus PT92, but Academy didn't have one, and everyone else's prices are MUCH higher. Does anyone know who might have a SR9c in stock online or in the Knoxville area? I'd really like to hold as many as possible before I buy.

Pascal's Wager is a poor way to go about His business.

Dont ask, dont tell, dont go in with your carry. It is up to you.

Hell I won't stand in line for an hour to eat much less to buy ammo.....    

No, its a spacer for a table leg that's too short.

Well, it looks like a moot point now.  I went home for lunch and it was in my mailbox.  Am I required to make my Wallyworld walk today or can I put it off till the weekend when all the really special people are there!     In all seriousness though, I do not take this responsibility lightly.  I have been shooting guns for over 40 years now and do shoot regularly. Rifles, pistols, shotguns and muzzloaders.  My family and I shoot for fun at least a couple of times a month.  If it goes bang, we want to shoot it.
